@Skalgrim I don't really want to write an essay so I'll boil it down to 2 main points:
1. I don't trust the integrity of their reviews.
2. I believe they have a clear political agenda that has permeated every aspect of their company. They attempt to push it on their audience in both subtle and no-so-subtle ways depending on what parts of their content you consume.
Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I felt when I would go there so I've decided not to anymore.
The screenshots look great and the game sounds fun but I'll pass on watching the trailer. I have no interest in supporting IGN in any way, even with a single view.
Jools seems like a nice guy and I have purchased nearly every game Renegade Kid and Atooi has ever released, along with supporting the Chicken Wiggle Kickstarter (my first and only Kickstarter) but this is really, really disappointing.
December 18 was the target window for Chicken Wiggle Switch and now it looks like it will be December 19. I'm glad he is trying to make it as good a game as possible but all the good will Jools built up over the years is now gone in my eyes. And this could have been avoided if he had simply put a more realistic release date on his Kickstarter.
I am truly, thoroughly disappointed with Jools and Atooi.
It will be a Hulk Hogan Simulator where you spend your time copulating with your friend's wife, getting divorced, using tech billionaires to sue liberal media outlets, dropping racial slurs, and watching your son go to prison.
Sega allowing a rando Aussie fan to make a game was the best thing they've done in a long while. Sonic Team should be disbanded and made to complete a Game of Thrones style walk of shame.
And yes, I do have a Japanese account but it's a hassle to buy those cards or get my credit card to work for Yen. I did it once for Kamiko and that was enough. I'll wait patiently for it to come to the USA eShop.
Took me 45 mins to build the goggles, I was entertained by the minigames for like 10 mins and Zelda (the only reason I bought the thing) is awful. This was a huge waste of $40. I'd have more fun putting a plastic bag over my head and leaving it there until I suffocated.
So far this is my only true disappointment in a first party Nintendo product since the start of the Switch era.
I don't care if my eyes completely implode from having the switch 6 inches from my face and staring at that blurry screen door all day. If BotW has an even remotely playable framerate I will happily buy that strap and never take that silly piece of cardboard off my face.
I know nothing about cricket but I'm happy to see more sports games finding their way to the Switch. Now it's time for the Madden 20 Switch announcement!
BotW is the one and only reason I bought Labo kit 4.
Also, does anyone else find it quite blurry? My sight is 20/20 but I find the text looks rather bad even at the best possible viewing angle. If I hold the goggles just a millimeter or two too close or far from my eyes it gets really bad. Oh, and I now understand what everyone was talking about with the "screen door" thing. That little white boxy guy looks ok though, and so do most of the objects in the mini games.
All that said, I don't care about any of it, and it was well worth the purchase, so long as BotW runs even remotely well in VR.
@LN3000 Hold on, really???!!! My first thought was this was going to be some stupid game I'd never care about but I LOVED Fantasy Life! I need to look at my 3ds history but I'm sure I put at least 200 hours into that game. Something like that on Switch would make me very happy!
Does Japan have capital punishment? Clearly everyone involved with that picture deserves nothing less. Even the people who made the table the Famicom is placed on.

Re: Once Again, EA Angers Switch Fans By Falsely Advertising FIFA 19 Content
All the sins of EA (and there is a long list) could be wiped out in a second if they simply announce Madden 20 for Switch!
Re: Pokémon GO's Next Community Day Features Slakoth, Date And Times Now Set
My whole family was wiped out after I led them out into the middle of a busy street to catch a Meltan. I'll never forgive myself.
Re: Citizens Of Earth Is Being Mysteriously Removed From The 3DS eShop In Japan
Never got through it but I enjoyed it for about 4 hours or so. It's worth a cheap buy.

How long until it overtakes the population of Japan, in Japan?

Re: WWE 2K Dev Not Happy With Recent Games, Will Create New Wrestling IP To Re-Energise Staff
It will be a Hulk Hogan Simulator where you spend your time copulating with your friend's wife, getting divorced, using tech billionaires to sue liberal media outlets, dropping racial slurs, and watching your son go to prison.
But it will run 1080/60 on Switch!

You're not a true hipster until you develop a new game for the Mega Duck.

Sega allowing a rando Aussie fan to make a game was the best thing they've done in a long while. Sonic Team should be disbanded and made to complete a Game of Thrones style walk of shame.

Everything Image & Form does is something special.

I'm excited to play Virtua Racing on my Switch.
And yes, I do have a Japanese account but it's a hassle to buy those cards or get my credit card to work for Yen. I did it once for Kamiko and that was enough. I'll wait patiently for it to come to the USA eShop.

Re: Review: Bird Game + - A Colourless Effort That Never Truly Takes Off

Re: Random: Flip Grip Inventor Creates "New Nintendo Switch DS"
I've always thought the Switch was way too thin. Glad there is finally a solution to that major design flaw.
Re: New Trailer For Kotodama: The 7 Mysteries Of Fujisawa Reveals The Key Cast
Not enough weirdly sexualized Japanese schoolgirls for my taste. Pass.

Shakedown Hawaii looks great. Hope it turns out to be worth the wait.
Re: Sonic The Hedgehog Movie Gets Its First Official Trailer, And It's Definitely Something
Forget the awful looking Sonic CGI.
Jim Carrey = No thanks.
Go paint another asinine political scene and reminisce about your glory days in the 90's.

Re: Review: Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 04: VR Kit - Entry-Level VR With Some Trademark Nintendo Charm And Polish

Re: Nintendo Announces Mario Kart Tour Closed Beta Test For Android Devices
A Hotel Mario Mobile game would be so popular it would crash the Google Play for the rest of time.
Mario Kart Tour...Meh, maybe if my Switch, 3ds, and ODroid-Go all break I will consider DL'ing it.
Re: Sweat Proof Gaming Releasing Comfort Headset Strap For The Nintendo Labo VR Goggles
I don't care if my eyes completely implode from having the switch 6 inches from my face and staring at that blurry screen door all day. If BotW has an even remotely playable framerate I will happily buy that strap and never take that silly piece of cardboard off my face.
Re: Shakedown: Hawaii Finally Gets A Launch Date On Switch
Can't wait to read the article about the next delay!
Re: Give Your Labo VR Kit A Zelda Makeover In Time For Breath Of The Wild VR
I've thought about wrapping an ace bandage around the goggles and back of my head. I'll look like a freak but BotW is worth it.

Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé Packs Up His Office And Reflects On The Good Times At Nintendo
The new guy being named Bowser is like how local weathermen are name "Storm" or "Rain" or whatever.
I miss Fils-A-Mech.
Rumor has it he isn't really retired and he plans to join Bandai and spearhead the launch of their new WonderSwitch Color handheld.
Re: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Technical Director Reveals More About The Labo VR Update
BotW is the one and only reason I bought Labo kit 4.

Re: Video: Zelda And Mario Labo VR Support Points To A Switch Pro Console Idea
Holding those cardboard goggles up to my face for hours on end playing BotW will be the most intense workout I've had in years.

Re: Nintendo, Sony And Microsoft All Under Investigation Over Online Gaming Services
