Not sure how I feel about the Donk course being all Par 3 holes... but I will check it out tonight.
If the updates keep coming, this will be a great game... as much as I love Mario Golf, I don't play it that often and still the courses are getting old quick.
There needs to be way more Mushroom Kingdom style courses (like the 3DS game)... hopefully they are forthcoming.
I have no interest in this game, but I will never forget being on vacation at the beach when it released in 2016... I didn't know about it and I was so confused why everyone was walking around with their phones out and talking about Pokemons.
I checked the Steam link and the game can not be purchased there... it appears that the devs removed it and plan to re-release it, with improvements... This probably coincides with the Switch release?
It seems like there is more to this story which would make for an interesting article.
Here is an excerpt from a post made by the developer:
"In the last dev story, we covered the initial development and release of Inked. Today we will take a look at how the feedback and reviews after the game’s release prompted the team to deeply analyze the game, and come up with ways to improve it. This postmortem of the game was supposed to be a guideline on how to do better at any future projects, but eventually became the foundation for the new and improved Inked which you are patiently waiting for today."
That Shaolin vs Wutang game looks so bad... but I'm glad people are enjoying it! I do love how each fighter is style-based...
I would love a Bushido Blade style, "one-hit kill" no life-meter weapon fighting game to come to Switch. Even a port of the pretty good Deadliest Warrior games would be fine.
For now, Nidhogg and One Strike is as close as we get?
I just bought this yesterday on sale... The occasional performance issues are worse than expected at this point... they aren't frequent, but it's really unfortunate in a game that is about "flow".
@nhSnork If the cut off is days away from payday, use a credit card to get all of the super discounts, and pay it off immediately when your paycheck arrives. I am not advising that you rack up credit card debt, but use it to your advantage.
Quality/reliability is way more important than read/write speed... unless you are recording extremely high resolution and bit-rate video, then you need both.
With the internet, we can get game news immediately... see trailers and gameplay videos whenever we want, on our phones... not sure tradeshow events are necessary.
At this point, E3 is just a popular choice of "when do we announce stuff?" And it's popularity was diminishing pre-covid.
This game sounded very interesting and knowing it was a short experience, I downloaded it and played through with my wife.
There was one part toward the beginning that was a clever way to have the player feel what the character is experiencing. I was excited to see what else the game would do...
Unfortunately, after that part... it was a rather predictable story and uninteresting experience.
I am disappointed to say that, in my experience, this game is a very basic point-and-click with a mediocre story element. If it weren't for the "heavy" subject matter at its core, I doubt it would even be noticed by media outlets.
@jump It's only $8, which seems very fair... you are certainly free to do as you wish, but you may want to consider supporting the devs by getting it right away.
Never thought this game would ever be released on anything new... it's a great example of the indie game revolution and I'm glad to see it getting new life on Switch.

.cat Milk... does Nintendo have any quality standards for eShop games?
Re: Daisy Fans Aren't Happy With The New Mario Golf: Super Rush Update
I had no idea she said that... Never bogeyed with Daisy.
Re: Nintendo Multiplayer Mayhem Sale Discounts Splatoon, Mario Party And Much More (North America)
Super Mario Party is decent, just incomplete... Some of the boards are very uninspired and there simply needs to be more of them.
Still worth it if you know people who are into it, especially at the sale price, but still disappointing.

Re: Cruis'n Blast Track Showcase Emphasizes Its Wacky Side
This could be great... I wonder if it will run at steady 60 FPS? If so, might need to have it around.
Re: Cutie Puzzle Game 'A Monster's Expedition' Is Coming To Switch With New DLC
Always interested in this type of game... hopefully it's good and the price is right.
Re: Pokémon GO August Events Detailed, Including Eevee Community Day
I have no interest in this game, but I will never forget being on vacation at the beach when it released in 2016... I didn't know about it and I was so confused why everyone was walking around with their phones out and talking about Pokemons.
Still going after 5 years is impressive...
Re: Review: Lonely Mountains: Downhill - A Freewheeling Downhill Delight
@Ear_wiG I think I saw that the game received another update recently, but I have no idea if it addresses any performance issues... probably not.

@Bret Haven't seen Black Widow yet?

Re: New Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2 Footage Shown, Aiming For A 2022 Switch Release
March 2022... Question is, will the Switch Pro be November 2021 or also March 2022?
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of Nintendo Direct At E3 2021?
What will come first... F-Zero or Wave Race?
Re: Sidebar Games Offers A Fresh Update On Sports Story, Golf Story Gets 50% Discount
I never got to Golf Story... I love indie games, but despite all of the hype, I just couldn't convince myself that I would be into it.

Quality/reliability is way more important than read/write speed... unless you are recording extremely high resolution and bit-rate video, then you need both.

Wonder Boy didn't make it in to the Highlights section?
@OorWullie Mine's on the 45!

This would actually be handy when traveling... especially in conjunction with a Genki covert dock.
Re: Random: This 3D Version Of A 2D Zelda Took Two Months To Make
This would be a fun official remake... original Zelda in the Link's Awakening engine.
Re: Review: King of Seas - Naval Combat Gets Grindy After A Promising Start
That's what I was afraid... this was a "maybe on sale" wishlist item... but the performance issues make it a "definitely not".
Re: Review: SnowRunner - A Slow And Steady Off-Road Trucker
If you have any interest in this game and no way (or interest) to play it on a more powerful machine, you should give it a shot.
I play this on PC with a friend who lives across the country now and tag-teaming the missions while chatting via headset is quite enjoyable.
Also, as others have stated... SnowRunner has WAY more things to do than MudRunner.
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th May (North America)
King of Seas does look interesting... I don't think it actually releases until May 25th.
Re: Zelda & Loftwing Is The Only amiibo Compatible With Skyward Sword HD
Why in the world wouldn't they find something for Skyward Sword Link to activate... maybe any Link, just because.
I don't care about this game... or amiibo... but they could easily find something for the Link amiibo so people don't feel pretty screwed.
Your Link amiibo will unlock different costumes for Link... yay!?

Re: 'Mad Max' Meets 'Micro Machines' In Racing / Shmup Hybrid Gearshifters
Could be fun... hopefully it is.
Re: Random: Did You Know The Wii U Can Burn eShop Games To Discs?
So the DVD-RAM drive essentially looks like a HDD to the WiiU?
I suppose that could be useful for long-term storage with archive quality discs... but a HDD would be far more useful for most?
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th May (North America)
Not sure how well it will run on Switch, but SnowRunner is quite fun if you have any interest in the premise.
There is WAY more to do than in MudRunner, which was still quite fun.

At this point, E3 is just a popular choice of "when do we announce stuff?" And it's popularity was diminishing pre-covid.

Re: Nintendo Download: 6th May (North America)
Old Man's Journey and Journey of the Broken Circle are on super sale... I will be getting those instead of any of this.

Re: Talking Point: Why Did Nintendo Give Up On Its 'Classic Edition' Concept So Soon?
@Aurumonado You need to take a look at their decades long business history... they know how to make money.
Re: Talking Point: Is It Worth Buying A Nintendo Wii U In 2021?
WiiU was/is awesome... I played hours and hours on the GamePad on my couch while my wife watched something else on TV.
Re: New Infographic Shows Off The 21 Games Featured In This Week's Nintendo Indie Showcase

Re: Rumour: The Latest Switch Firmware Update Has Apparently Added Bluetooth Audio Support
@keatonhj That doesn't appear to be true either... a simple search on Amazon for "earbuds low latency" will bring up a few options.
