Underrated game, one of the few games I keep coming back to on my WiiU, easy to pick-up and play. If I were Platinum, I'd proudly show Star Fox Zero on the site.
Am I the only one who's not sold on the idea of 24 players? 12 players is already chaotic enough, I'd rather have more control over my car, better physics and less reliance on item management.
@Aneira And this is exactly why I don't see the point in carrying over your entire library. Why don't just play Switch games on good ol' Switch and new games on NS2. Sure you can play some games on the NS2 if there are performance advantages, but an entire library?
Just went back to play the Wii version, what a great game and it still holds up! Ignore negative reviews and get whatever version you prefer, but don't skip this game.
Releasing Eternal as a digital download only-game was a crime, a game of such caliber. Fortunately we got a physical version thanks to LRG. I really hope Dark Ages comes to NS2.
I love it and can't get enough of everyone's new designs. Donkey Kong in particular can benefit a lot from his new look if he's about to re-emerge as a Nintendo mascot.
@Hero-of-WiiU If you like Tropical Freeze and haven't played this one yet I'd recommend it. The port itself might not be the best version but it stands on its own two feet and is an enjoyable experience.
The graphical downgrades turned me off, you can see Gamexplains videos to find out all the shortcuts they took. The Wii original is still the way to experience this gem.
I blame Nintendo for dragging the reveal and taking so damn long, it never happened before with any other Nintendo console what a pity. I'm only excited to see the games now.
Nintendo should secure a future for Bayonetta by acquiring Platinum Games, after three Nintendo exclusive entries and a good partnership history with them, why not.
@obijuankanoobie Nothing legal I'd say, but putting a rival company in the spotlight when receiving an award can be awkward, the way he payed tribute felt just right.
@The-Chosen-one No chance Sony will bring physical media to a new portable device when they are moving away from it on the console side where there's more flexibility.

Re: Opinion: Miiverse Was Fine, But Does Anybody Really Want It Back In 2025?
Miiverse hands down the best social media ever.
Re: Random: Hideki Kamiya Would Rather You Not Play Okami On The Wii
Still can't believe a WiiU version never happened, the Gamepad is a perfect fit. The sequel would be sick on NS2 with mouse controls though.

Re: Lexar Is Apparently Releasing A Switch 2 'microSD Express' Card
@Aneira And this is exactly why I don't see the point in carrying over your entire library. Why don't just play Switch games on good ol' Switch and new games on NS2. Sure you can play some games on the NS2 if there are performance advantages, but an entire library?

DOOM The Dark Ages on NS2 with Joy-con mouse support would be insane.

Just more corporate bs
Re: Oops, The Next DOOM Game's Release Date Appears To Have Been Leaked
Releasing Eternal as a digital download only-game was a crime, a game of such caliber. Fortunately we got a physical version thanks to LRG. I really hope Dark Ages comes to NS2.
Re: Zelda Fan Film Kicks Off Fundraising Campaign With First Live-Action Trailer
Do they really think they can monetize on a Nintendo IP without permission? They are literally asking to be sued and I don't defend them at all.
Re: Nintendo: Switch 2's Backwards Compatibility Feature Is The "Best Direction" For Consumers
While Sony and Microsoft are trying to get rid of physical media, Nintendo fully embracing physical carts is what made me the happiest.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Donkey Kong's Redesign In Mario Kart 9?
I love it and can't get enough of everyone's new designs. Donkey Kong in particular can benefit a lot from his new look if he's about to re-emerge as a Nintendo mascot.
Re: Random: Switch 2 Leakers Called Out By Industry Veteran Hideki Kamiya
Just Kamiya being Kamiya, an assurance that Okami sequel is in good hands people!
Re: New Mario Kart 9 Teased For Switch 2
Makes me appreciate the WiiU even more, that first Mario Kart 8 trailer was an unforgettable experience. I'm excited for this game nonetheless!
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD
@Hero-of-WiiU If you like Tropical Freeze and haven't played this one yet I'd recommend it. The port itself might not be the best version but it stands on its own two feet and is an enjoyable experience.

Re: 8 Years Ago Today, We First Got Our Hands On Nintendo Switch
I was pretty disappointed by Switch specs tbh, I was expecting a huge leap from WiiU. Looks like it'll finally happen with the successor.
Re: Rumour: Switch Virtual Console Was Apparently Nintendo's "Original Plan"
They should allow both, keep the service while offering the chance to buy them individually for preservation and offline play.
Re: Feature: 8 Games That Defined The Switch Generation
@ManaOwls The Thousand year door is a GameCube era-defining game just like Metroid Prime.

Re: Genki Claims The 'Switch 2' Joy-Con Can Be Removed By 'Brute Force'
