It was a fun game but I found the fighting slower than the game before (not sure if that's actually true or just me). I'm glad they bother with single player story though. So many fighting games forget that some people like to play solo.
It's been really interesting seeing which lower-tier games Nintendo really back and ones they don't. I wish they would uplift every game in the same way they did Luigi's Mansion 3.
I still don't understand what is in this season pass. Nintendo have done such a bad job explaining it. It also feels like this update has come out too late.
@RainbowGazelle Funny story about that for my Switch. On launch day I was at a friends house so we could get our Switches together and share the experience. The delivery truck arrived with my Switch and the ONE game I pre-ordered: BoTW. I unpacked the Switch and put the game in... and nothing. The game didn't work. The Switch didn't even recognise the cartridge. So I took it out and found that somehow I had a blank cartridge. It didn't even have the metal strips on the back. I then had to spend ages on my friends crappy wifi downloading the game. Four hours later I got to play on my Switch. It's made me a paranoid about physical Switch games.
@Saint_Link Oh on! You're on to me. I'm under mind control from Nintendo Life. They are, after all, the only site to critically pan the game. And I personally have all the time and money in the world to play every video game.
@Friendly I'm sure they get paid for it. Nintendo don't really need the money though, and it's probably better for the company to show off better quality games.

Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD - A Remaster That Truly Soars

Re: Fancy A Switch OLED For £800? Scalpers Are Already Flogging Pre-Orders
The year is 2057. Everything is bought by scalpers and sold to normal people. A banana costs £385.

Re: NetherRealm Ends DLC Support For Mortal Kombat 11 To Focus On "Next Project"
It was a fun game but I found the fighting slower than the game before (not sure if that's actually true or just me). I'm glad they bother with single player story though. So many fighting games forget that some people like to play solo.

Re: Review: Mario Golf: Super Rush - A Solid Swing, But Par For The Course
It's been really interesting seeing which lower-tier games Nintendo really back and ones they don't. I wish they would uplift every game in the same way they did Luigi's Mansion 3.
Re: Nintendo To Give Forever Entertainment "Significant Financial Support" In New Publishing Deal
@bluemage1989 Nintendo doing the unexpected is... the most expected thing in a lot of ways. They always seem to make random choices.
Re: Nintendo To Give Forever Entertainment "Significant Financial Support" In New Publishing Deal
Sounds promising. I hope Nintendo also help them with quality.
Re: Rumour: EA Is Planning On Reviving An "Established IP"
If they bring Dead Space PLEASE can they fix the asteroid sections. I finished the first one, found out there was a 2nd, and just stopped playing.
Re: The First Review For Mario Golf: Super Rush Is Now In
The game looks really bland to me. I was hoping it would be more arcade-y. The courses look flat and their isn't much flair to anything.

Looking forward to this

Re: Reminder: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Expansion Pass - Wave 1 Is Now Available
I still don't understand what is in this season pass. Nintendo have done such a bad job explaining it. It also feels like this update has come out too late.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of Nintendo Direct At E3 2021?

I'd be happy if it was just Monkey Target from the first game.
Re: Sakurai Recalls Smash Bros. Melee's E3 2001 Appearance In Newly-Translated Report
Game Explain did a 'live' reaction to that E3 a couple of weeks ago. The Smash intro was super hype.
