Welp, well I think they went the wrong route on how to do this function. Hopefully they improve it later.

Personally for me, I want it to almost completely feel different compare to Mario Kart 8.

This is the attitude I like to see. Enjoy putting all your games on other platforms. AND not trying to buy them all and literally make it all Microsoft owned companies, and all of them called "Xbox consoles" lol.

@Rykdrew Not sure what you are trying to get here. I'm talking about a game that did release 10-15 years ago and being rereleased. Why are you bringing up if it's a game that didn't release? I'm not talking about unreleased games either. Unreleased means pretty much no one ever played the game at all except for the devs/play testers.

Whole point of my comment is that I do not factor in price with the rating/score that I give to games.

@RiasGremory I meant by the overwhelmingly positive feedback/reviews for the game. For example the game got a 87 metascore and the user score on that site is 9/10. Similar on this site as well.

If the rumors are true that the development for the second game is very messy, and with what is happening to Platinum games, that just makes me think the next game might be all over the place in what direction the game is going for. Which may result in the game being not as good as the first game.

But I am going to wait and see what happens next.

This is not news I wanted to hear... rest in peace.

One of my favourite video game developers.

Damn, this just makes me think if Astral Chain 2 does release, I'm assuming it might not be well received like the first one. Let's wait and see though.

Well this was unexpected. Thought they would go up in order with the generations.

@Mando44646 I'm talking about the rating for just the game itself. I understand time length and cost together being a factor for someone's score/rating, but just only cost alone, makes no sense to me.

When someone rates a game 9/10, and then lets say 10-15 years later they release it again with a few extra stuff or just make it look better graphically without tweaking any of the original gameplay, for an increased price. Your rating for the game should technically be still 9/10 (if everything work as it did back them with no problems.)

If I do change my rating for a game, it won't be because of the price.

Idk why people use price as a factor on how you rate the game, like some of these people in the comments have.

Imo, region free is the best direction. But backwards compatibility is a close second.

At first I wasn't a fan of it, but now I already got used to it lol.

Oh also, I hope we get a confirmation that the Switch 2 will be region free and not region locked.

Imagine they add a story mode to Mario Kart.

Was hoping they come up with a different name, but I guess calling it the Switch 2 is fine.

I'm really hoping every or at least almost all physical Switch games can be played on it.

Pro: "The best way to play Fortnite Festival on Switch." And you give it a 4? Hmm...

@KimBread I know, I'm just mentioning how long you can actually save them.

@KimBread Can't even save them for a year. Since they expire in 6 months. (For NA that is, not sure about elsewhere.)

(Honestly I could go for a brand new Battle of Giants game.)

This is obviously good, but I wish they were more specific with what they mean by "Unreasonable changes" statement and "Excessive requests for the provision of products and services exceeding socially accepted norms."

Would like examples in those categories because it is too vague for me.

Ngl, I wouldn't mind playing this.

I guess I'm the only one who thinks Klonoa doesn't look good with a full yellow background. The title is yellow and is surrounded by yellow. It's just okay. I just voted for NA because of the cloudy background, and that I get what they were doing with the cover art with the word "dreams."

It's way more than just 8 games.

This is great! Hopefully every set this year includes Trainer's Pokemon!

My score when I played this game on the Vita, I gave it a 10/10. It's one of the the best Vita games!

@Overzeal Is it just the Type A/B changes or is there other unnecessary changes they did?

I always use the straps when i'm playing games where I need to swing them. Like Nintendo Switch Sports for example.

@AmyTheBrawler If the Switch does get a 20.0.0 update. I hope it's something really interesting and at least somewhat big.

@OldGamer999 I think you are underestimating people if you think they won't go and play the next Mario Kart game just because of MK8.

MK8 is great. But imo they could (and should) improve the next MK game significantly.

I look up gameplay on the Switch. And yeah it does look bad performance wise.

Well this is one of those games where it is probably best to get the PC version. Because the performance on PC looks good from the gameplay I saw.

Really hoping the new Pokemon game exceeds my expectations.

@GrailUK Going to disagree with you. The eshop definitely needs improvements. And a lot of these answers here are good ones imo.

I'm someone who prefers to browse the Nintendo shop btw.

My excitement for the next Nintendo console has gone down due to the Neptunia/Idea Factory situation. But I am still looking forward to the announcement for the new console.

@KoopaTheGamer Why dislike collectors? It's not like the majority of collectors are scalpers.

Really looking forward to this! Loved the game on the Vita!

Very sad... may he rest in peace.

@Samalik Well that was what I was getting at in my comment. I agree with you. I guess I should have been more clear. What I meant about it "being good," I was thinking about the more realistic stuff. But then again I doubt something like that will get submitted to the Nintendo platform, so it's pretty much useless that guideline, if they have it implemented that is.

@TheTony316 Yeah I saw other gameplay videos, it's not because of the performance.

I don't know if it's confirmed, but I read a comment somewhere else about a new guideline saying "they revised their guidelines to not allow sexualization of what can appear as underaged characters."

Which is a good thing, but there is a catch, a guideline like that can be abusive/not used properly when it comes to Anime style art games and cause problems when they shouldn't, and Hyperdimension Neptunia and Death end re;Quest does not violate this guideline.

@jennraye Thanks for the video. Now that looks better. So now I am suspicious again XD.

Edit: Saw another video, and the game looks fine actually.

@CrimsonDragoon Damn that is really bad. I didn't saw gameplay yet for the Switch version. Now I see why they would not approve it.

What is Idea Factory thinking when releasing it like this?

@Lightgazer If it's because of FPS issues, then I would understand why it's not available. Which makes me wonder, did they even took their time to optimize it for Switch or they just try to release it right away for a quick buck, that is not a good look...

What the heck? This makes no sense. I was looking forward for these games to be on the Switch.

I don't believe these games violated the guidelines, someone has to be screwing them over. This is not good. Just look at all the AI hentai games on the Eshop that they approved.

Plus other games from these series are available in the Eshop in the west. Makes me even more suspicious.

I really enjoyed the game awards this year. Lot's of exciting new games coming out. I also did not expect Astro Bot to win, so that was a surprise.

@Yomerodes Then I screwed up it seems... I used 2 different Nintendo accounts on the same Switch to get the games, and the system for the promotion probably detects the account and not the Switch for eligibility. Even though both accounts say "purchased" for both games...

Which sucks since I was actually interested in the Alder's Blood game.

Is the third game for free working for other people? It's not for me. I had to buy the second game unfortunately because I forgot about it yesterday, so did their system screwed up or did they forgot to activate the third game for free?

@Qwiff He wasn't the lead artist, but he was one of the World Artistes. (Edit: Was curious when i read your comment, so I decided to look it up if it was true or not.)

@batmanbud2 Many more great games came out in 2016. I wouldn't say it was a bad year for gaming. There was also Persona 5, Stardew Valley, Dark Souls 3, etc.

Great news if true. I still don't have this Kirby game on the 3DS yet.

@KingofRedLions Are you talking about that fictional character with the big breasts? I really don't understand how you can just straight up come to that conclusion that "they have hatred of Woman." Makes no sense. That isn't proof.

Plus I don't know about this game, but that character looks like a robotic figure?
