Hopefully no Horizon Forbidden West is a sign the normal consumer doesn't want £70 games. Both the reasonably priced Elden Ring and Legends Arceus still enjoying massive sales.
The field visuals kill any hype I'd have for this, they should have went all in on the GBA looks. Add the character art and this looks like 3 games meshed together and its not good on the eyes.
Played these on PS4 and would give a 7/10 myself but would say wait for a sale. I gave like £4 for it in a sale so assume it will drop low on eShop eventually too.
@fighting_game_player They could choose any other colour or shade of blue but go for the one from the biggest Zelda game on the console by coincidence? There's invoking the feeling then there's ripping something off. They could of tried to be more original.
Why are you comparing a remake to a remaster? Of course Live A Live will look better than a faithful remaster of a PS1 era game. This whole update comes off as very unprofessional.
@Would_you_kindly Pokemon games were never budget and was always full RRP of the console they was on. And at this £35 deal price this is the price of a 3DS game anyway
Do we really need another article advertising that people can illegally download the game days early? Especially one so pointless based soley on the fact a thief tweeted they beat the game they stole. You're just empowering pirates and giving rom sites free advertising, maybe you should also get them to pay you to post a link. I expect better from this site.
I can't believe some are still complaining about the actually rather cheap Switch Online. It works out to only £1.50 a month or £2.90 with the expansion pack.
Key word here is "Prediction" a prediction isn't a rumour. You guys might as well present the Gamexplain predictions they do before Directs as rumours too.
"I’d take another Balan Wonderworld over another Bowser’s Fury"
This is like saying I'll take another microwave meal for one over another Kobe steak.
Honestly this line alone is enough to have me question any review this guy does again.
@Crono1973 who's doing that? All I'm saying is at least be open and say you're stealing rather than using a loophole in the definition to make it seem legal. Piracy by UK law is counted as stealing otherwise why even have the copyright laws in place.
I just love how whenever piracy of new games come up people jump right to the same tired excuses of preservation.
Thank you so much for preserving Pokemon Brilliant Diamond I only saw 30 on the store shelf when picking it up last week, you're doing God's work👍
At least be honest and say "Im cheap" rather than pretend your thieving is noble and just.
@IpwnedU123 Piracy is theft. The piracy crowd just love to use "game preservation" and "emulating isn't illegal" to cover their cheap backs. There's a vast difference between emulating an old game and emulating a new Switch release like these sites offer. People like that give the emulation crowd a bad name.
So many in the comments clearly skipping the content of the article to rush and voice this as Nintendo being the bad guy again. This is targeting sites offering Switch roms which no matter how much you paint it is stealing, too bad it's only in the UK and easily bypassed. Don't be cheap and pay for your games people.

Re: Mutant Mudds Dev Announces New "Casual Online Party Game" For Switch, Supports Up To 13 Players
I feel like this won't get enough of a userbase to stay fun for very long, Online only games from even bigger studios suffer from this too.
Re: Review: Dark Deity - A Shameless But Satisfying Fire Emblem 'Homage'
@Astral-Grain They actually compare it to the GBA entries that the devs clearly invited themselves by releasing a FE GBA fangame in all but name.

@Ironcore Imagine not playing a great game because its 30fps.

Re: Video: YouTuber's Ultimate Switch OLED Test "Finally" Delivers Burn-In After 3,600 Hours
What, so you mean I can't pause for 6 months solid? classic Nintendo being anti-consumer.

I don't see the point in preordering months in advance.

Re: Don't Panic, Valve Has Already Resolved Steam Deck's Supposed Switch-Like "Drift" Issues
@Varkster Wait, for real?
That has no place here at all.
Re: Don't Panic, Valve Has Already Resolved Steam Deck's Supposed Switch-Like "Drift" Issues
A console being Switch like is a pretty loose reason to post this news on a Nintendo focussed site.
Re: It's Official, Nintendo Has Withdrawn Super Smash Bros. From EVO 2022
Great another reason for the entitled anti-fans to complain because Nintendo are protecting their own IPs.

So hyped for this.

Re: Review: Sol Cresta - PlatinumGames' Intriguing Shmup Doesn't Do Enough To Stand Out
The review and all those cons make this look like a 5 bumped up to a 7 for some reason.

Re: Review: Ocean's Heart - Charming 2D Zelda-Like With Obvious Nods To Minish Cap
@fighting_game_player True, but also this ones art literally has the main character wearing Link's BotW outfit
Re: Poll: Do You Have An Issue With Xenoblade Chronicles' Accents?
I would much rather it than some forced fantasy American accents.
Re: Chrono Cross Is Getting A Remaster, And Boy Does It Look Rough
@Damo Live A Live 100% is a remake unless the SNES was capable of way more than I realise.

Of course Live A Live will look better than a faithful remaster of a PS1 era game.

Re: Some Trainers Have Already Finished Pokémon Legends: Arceus, And It's Not Out Until Later This Week
@Orochilocka Ahh I see.
Also I play for Manchester United.
Re: Some Trainers Have Already Finished Pokémon Legends: Arceus, And It's Not Out Until Later This Week
@Orochilocka I'm sorry, you clearly are a genius on media beyond my knowledge.
Re: Some Trainers Have Already Finished Pokémon Legends: Arceus, And It's Not Out Until Later This Week
@Orochilocka It was news when it leaked, its not news that someone that pirated it tweeted about finishing it.
Re: Some Trainers Have Already Finished Pokémon Legends: Arceus, And It's Not Out Until Later This Week
Do we really need another article advertising that people can illegally download the game days early?

You're just empowering pirates and giving rom sites free advertising, maybe you should also get them to pay you to post a link.

Re: Some Trainers Have Already Finished Pokémon Legends: Arceus, And It's Not Out Until Later This Week
@dBackLash Or you could you know, pay for the game and not steal it.
Re: Xbox Boss "Trusts" Nintendo To Not Do Anything That Would Harm The Games Industry
@electrolite77 How is £1.50 a month not good value for what you're getting? I lose more than that down the back of my sofa a week.
Re: Xbox Boss "Trusts" Nintendo To Not Do Anything That Would Harm The Games Industry
@electrolite77 I'd say giving basically pocket change to have access to retro games and Online play for a month is great value.

Re: Konami Sold This Castlevania Pixel Art For Over $26K In Its 'Memorial' NFT Auction
