If they've fixed nothing about the online store or how the game runs as a whole, I couldn't care less if the polar bear spawn egg looks slightly different.
@PinderSchloss I wouldn't say the combat is what grips me about this game. If you're looking for that alone, I'd pass on the game. For me it's more about the atmosphere, exploration, already enjoying the anime, with combat/crafting/equip progression as supporting factors.
Kind of insulting to put collections like Capcom Fighters and Ninja Turtles alongside Sonic Origins in the thumbnail. One of these games is not like the others.
So they're talking up a "super game" that will offer further return through a community they expect to form around it? Why does that just sound like a recipe for disaster to me? All of this just feels like pandering to investors. I'm pretty sure this won't deliver.
@Ratmasterd21 This is a pretty reductive outlook on games. Just because games contain narrative doesn't mean a game cannot be a story. It's not a mutually exclusive definition.
I think you're conflating story with like....written literature or a script or plot or something. By that understanding of course games aren't stories haha.
I seem to recall someone working on Splatoon 2 making the argument of essentially "we know how to better design a game than the consumer, that's why we don't make salmon run available 24/7" so seeing them walk back on that is kind of hilarious.
@BartoxTharglod Diabolically based comment. I played SA2 to the end of the Last Story and while the Sonic/Shadow stages are the best parts of this game, and the ending is ***** awesome, it is certainly not better than some of the games earlier in the list.
I went from despising Sonic CD's gameplay and loving everything else about it to loving EVERYTHING once I shifted my perspective on how to approach it's levels. While I ultimately think 2/3K have better level design, once I accepted the fact that CD's level design is more akin to playgrounds than race courses, I couldn't put the game down.
The TMNT×Wutang crossover YouTube vid for Da Mystery of Chessboxin' is one of the greatest videos on that entire website, so this is just about the greatest game news I've heard all year.
@Richnj Not-so-casual casual racism? Check. Dismissive of something they don't like? Check. Thinking their uninformed opinion is important enough to get published in a book? Checkity check check.
@Jayenkai Dude absolutely. I have so many of these games that consistently surprise me at how fun they are. This is one I've been waiting for for a while, so now all I need is Dragon Breed and I have my dream games.
Are the Dread amiibo's permanent upgrades on top of the game's upgrades? So for example the Emmi would make the max Missile capacity 285 instead of 275?
Honestly a weekly Arcade Archives write-up is the kind of content I like to see here. I like to hear when these drop on the eshop, and I knew jack about this game before reading this.
@KingMike I wasn't aware Parish had spoken about this game. I just took a look at it on YouTube and it looks like a fun time. There are a lot of other games Hamster ported that are easy to write off, but very fun (just maybe not at 8 dollars) like Swimmer and Frisky Tom.

This port keeps getting worse and worse.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet's Next Update To Be Distributed By The End Of April
What a mess. Glad these updates are taking months to come out when they're taking preorders for DLC.

Birdo's hands clip into her mouth in her victory animation. Literally unplayable.

Re: Review: Kaiju Wars - Silly And Surprisingly Complicated Strategy Fun
Added this to my wishlist when I saw it. Looks pretty sharp and unique!

Re: EA Announces "Long-Term" Marvel Deal For Consoles And PC
She's a 10, but she makes fun of single-player games only to announce developing one in partnership with Marvel.

@TheCrabMan Why?
Re: Unreleased 'Dune' GBA Game Is Finally Available To Buy, But With A New Name
Why exactly is the rom only option on their site "sold out"?
Re: Minecraft's Latest Update Is A Beast, Here Are The Patch Notes
All I want to know is if the Sonic DLC still plays horribly.

Re: Evercade EXP Handheld Will Come Bundled With 18 Classic Capcom Titles
Moon Patrol is poggers.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Sonic Origins
By the sound of it I agree with these sentiments. It's a nice package, but omissions, errors, and inaccuracies make this bundle not worth 45 dollars.

Re: Here's How Sonic 3's New Music In Sonic Origins Stacks Up To The Classics
How do the "new" tracks sound worse than the prototypes?

The 3DS game was fire. I fully expect this one to be as good.

@StuartGipp came here to comment this. Good grief.

Re: Limited Run Games Announces Quake Physical Edition For Nintendo Switch
It'll come to Best Buy just like the Doom releases. Don't pick this up and wait for that.
Re: Soapbox: Space Jam 2 Is A Video Game Cash-In That Doesn't Quite Get It Right
@BloodNinja I'm so annoyed by this.

@akamu Don't worry, I didn't.
Re: Random: The Internet Is Dunking On Space Jam 2's Game Boy Cameo
I signed up for an account just to say that when I come to Nintendo Life, I don't really want to read another article about this forgettable ad-movie.
