Re: Guide: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For May And June 2021

Grim

I’m excited for Smt 3, Mario golf, skyward sword, and stories 2. There’s been a game a month coming out that I’ve wanted so can’t complain, except July with both SS and stories 2. If I start buying a bunch of 80 dollar games in a month I start to feel ridiculous. Collector in me does want the blasphemous and hotline Miami physicals tho.

Re: Poll: New Pokémon Snap Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?

Grim

I think I’m gonna go buy it today with some leftover gift cards I have. Loved the game on 64, and am a Pokémon fan for sure.

@BlackenedHalo Oh dang really?! I literally just bought it on ps4 in the spring sale cause I thought it wouldn’t come to switch. Damn it. I did only pay like 12 bucks tho. Shoot. Would have been nice having them both physical on the same console.

Monster hunter rise. Finishing up all high rank 4* before I go on to 5*. Picked up thumper (and Rez, ratchet and clank, gungeon, Abzu, subnautica, the witness) for free on ps4. Thumper is actually insanely good! Should have listened to all the praise it got around here. Maybe I’m enjoying it so much since it was free

Re: Skate City Kickflips Onto Switch In May

@JayJ ya fair play. It just bothers me that there is stuff in the background that looks fun to skate, but your trapped on a linear path. I do like all the famous spots though, like Carlsbad gap and blah blah famous skate spots. At least with Ollie Ollie you were just dealing with what was in front of you, and the secret areas and optional paths, and weren’t teased by stuff you could never skate. I also played that game much like I played skate, and less arcade/rhythm like. It was fun to be like, “ok I’m gonna 3 flip the 80 stair then hold a massively long back rail, and then nose grind nollie flip out over the fork lift.’ I really enjoy putting together lines of tricks I think look good, and obviously it was on ridiculous obstacles in Ollie Ollie. Also just coming to grips with the push button to land or stomp tricks was satisfying and reminded me of the learning curve when Skate 1 came out. But ya I agree about more skate games the better. Truly I am a snowboarder, and like others have said I would love a good snowboard game. If I’m being honest, I’ve literally never enjoyed one, ever. 1080 was awesome for its time, but it just doesn’t satisfy and portray the sport like I want it to. Never liked ssx. Like fun for an hour, maybe would rent it, but just too dumb over the top. Shawn white snowboarding was terrible. Infinite air was ok but spinning past 1440’s on every air got kinda old. The animation and trick style was pretty proper though. Never got into steep, and unfortunately never have owned an Xbox so missed out on amped, which a lot of people talk very highly about, especially the second one. I guess I want a snowboard sim that just gets what if feels like to ride pow, or flow through a terrain park. Any type of rail riding in any snowboard game has just felt like trash and never understood rail riding etiquette or style or how tricks kinda ‘should be done’, or at least what it actually feels like. I digress.

Side scroller works for olli olli, but seems like a weird choice for a more 3D skate game. Animations look kinda stiff. Skate 4 needs to hurry up! I thought we were getting skater xl?? What happened to that

Re: Activision Confirms Original Dev Is Handling Tony Hawk Switch Port

Grim

THPS 2, both THUG’s, and American wasteland are some of my favourite gaming experiences, and I absolutely loved them at the time. Then skate absolutely destroyed them for me. Can’t go back to this style of arcade skateboarding anymore. The soundtracks would be the only highlight. Bring on skate 4 and hopefully it gets released on switch or it’s successor.

Re: Hori Is Launching A New Monster Hunter Rise Split Pad Pro Controller For Switch

Grim

@Azuris DualShock style? Or with sticks on top? I can’t think of a controller with sticks above the dpad/command button. That’s probably a thing, right? It would be cool to have a set of joycon with a proper, responsive, and accurate dpad taking priority with the command buttons above the sticks. Supplementary to the stock style of joy con.

Re: Scott Pilgrim For Switch Becomes Limited Run's "Biggest" Physical Release Ever

Grim

For anyone struggling at the beginning those grinding methods mentioned above work but I prefer using Wallace’s secret shop in the first level. Paying off Scott’s rental fees for those stat boost items costs 500! For a quarter of that money (129 I think) you can buy one bionic arm from Wallace (in his secret shop) and it boosts your strength by 50 (permanently). Buy two and you have maxed your strength stat already. Then go back when you have the cash for the sonic speed one and the rpg one. Honestly tho with the bionic arm it will make your life way easier. But that shop is probably the easiest way to get all your stats to 100. To go snack items are also useful.

Re: Scott Pilgrim For Switch Becomes Limited Run's "Biggest" Physical Release Ever

Grim

Now that people mention it, I definitely would have preferred a Ubisoft released physical version . Bought the digital too because of commenters here saying how long LRG takes. First time buying anything from them. This is worth it tho. The graphic novels, movie, and game are all good, which never happens. Happy to have all versions physical soon enough.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #73 - 1080° Snowboarding

Grim

The boot grab on the European and Japanese cover is inexcusable. Plus it almost looks like the ‘mannequin’ is doing a toe-deo (rodeo off the toes), or at least a really dumped frontside spin grabbing Indy properly between the bindings. NA for me. (Also biased as that’s the version I played and own). Don’t grab boot or tindy (halfway between tail and Indy grab) kids!!
