Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Tangle & Whisper DLC Pack Launches For Free This Week

It's a bit different. Smash Bros is entirely about gaming and video game characters. Every character in Smash is from a video game.

Sonic Racing adding SpongeBob and TMNT just feels out of left field and doesn't fit at least to me. I have no issue with the Sega characters like Joker and AiAi but the Nick characters are genuinely out of place here because unlike Pac-Man and Mega Man, they have very little to do with Sonic at all.

God I would love Valkyria Chronicles. Welkin in an Edelweiss tank car or Selveria on a Valkyria-themed extreme gear would be perfect. Persona and Yakuza are fine but Sega really needs to acknowledge their actual best RPG series again.

And that aside, as someone who grew up with the Riders games, it's nice to see Aiai back in a game with the extreme gear boards again.

Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Fails To Meets Sega's Expectations

Sonic just doesn't have the best reputation despite the movies being great. His games are not consistently good so a lot of people were hesitant to spend 70+ bucks on a racing game with his face on it especially after Team Sonic Racing flopped hard. Sonic is not Mario and will never be Mario. Shoving Minecraft abd random Nickelodeon characters into it just wasn't it either.

I just hope this doesn't mean they'll cut support for the game but I wouldn't be surprised.

Re: PSA: Apex Legends Switch Version Shutting Down This August

JR150

Doesn't surprise me at all. This game was technically impressive on Switch 1 but was borderline unplayable. The Switch 2 edition with 60fps is how the game should actually be played. I'm also happy that they at least kept it running long enough and offered players a way to keep their current account on their new console.

Much better than what happened to Paladins. Hi-Rez straight up deleted the game from Switch and we still have no way of playing it.

Re: Sonic Racing Open To Including More 'Deep Cut' Characters From Extended Sonic Universe

But what upsets me is that as I said, there are loads upon loads of female Sonic characters to choose from. It's not like they just don't have any. There's plenty. I didn't even mention Sally Acorn or Bunnie Rabbot who are also fan favorites.

Nintendo has finally gotten better about this what with giving Peach her own game again (Showtime), putting Daisy in Mario Wonder and Smash, giving Rosalina big focus with the new movie, and giving Pauline a major role in DK Bananza. I just wish Sega treated their female Sonic characters with the same level of respect and care.

Re: Sonic Racing Open To Including More 'Deep Cut' Characters From Extended Sonic Universe

Please continue to add more female characters. The fact that the Sonic roster only has 6 out of 23 (Amy, Rouge, Cream, Wave, Blaze, and Sage) at launch is disappointing. Yes we're getting Tangle and Whisper but Sega can do better. It's not like there's a lack of Sonic girls to pick from or anything.

There's Honey the Cat, Marine the Racoon, Sticks the Badger, Zeena the Zeti, Ariem the Ram, Trip the Sungazer, and more IDW girls like Lanolin the Sheep, Surge the Tenrec, Jewel the Beetle, and Belle the Tinkerer. There's likely more I haven't even listed here either.

I like playing it, but this game's roster needs more variety.

Re: Poll: Which Call Of Duty Do You Want To See On Switch 2?

JR150

@Dark_Isatari
Because it's a popular franchise and will sell a lot? COD is no stranger to Nintendo consoles with everything from the GameCube to Wii, Wii U and even the DS getting them. A COD on Switch/2 would be great and bring the series to more players who want a shooter on the go.

Just seems like a weird hill to be on. There are lots of other, much more violent franchises on Nintendo hardware like Mortal Kombat, Doom, Borderlands, Cyberpunk, and Bayonetta so that logic doesn't really apply.

Re: Poll: Which Call Of Duty Do You Want To See On Switch 2?

JR150

I really don't get the point of people who are saying "none". If you don't care then why bother commenting on this thread in the first place? COD is a huge franchise and would potentially sell systems if it was bundled with the Switch 2 so even if you aren't interested, the series would still help move consoles.

That aside, I'd love a direct port of Black Ops 2 because that was my favorite. A standalone release of Zombie Chronicles would also be nice too.

Re: Atlus Opens Persona 30th Anniversary Website

Would be cool if they actually acknowledged where the series began instead of pretending P1 and P2 don't exist. Would love to try out the older games with updated gameplay to match the modern ones. I've heard that many consider Persona 2 to be their personal favorite storywise even after playing all 5 games up to this point.

That and something for Persona 6 would be nice.

Re: Guilty Gear Strive Team Provides Update About "Future" Of Nintendo Switch Edition

JR150

Yup glad I didn't buy into the hype and chose to wait instead. The lack of crossplay was bad enough but then the insane delays of the DLC were were even worse. Now it sounds like they're already giving up on it. Kinda wish they had waited for the Switch 2 instead since it runs Street Fighter 6 with both crossplay and rollback well enough. Without that, there's zero reason to buy a fighting game especially on Switch which doesn't tend to have healthy player counts for fighters that aren't Smash.

I'll gladly wait for the inevitable Switch 2 edition of Strive with all the DLC and crossplay included at launch instead thanks.

Re: Fire Emblem Shadows Makes Metacritic's "Worst Games Of 2025" List

@nessisonett
A rather mid mobile game does not represent FE's reputation as a whole. Three Houses has mass critical acclaim for its characters and Engage has the same for its gameplay. The announcement of Fortune's Weave was among the most anticipated for many.

This is like saying Mario has a bad reputation because Mario Kart Tour wasn't received well. No. Just no.

Re: Digital Foundry's 'Graphics Of The Year Awards' Nod To Some Switch 2 Beauties

JR150

I honestly thought it would be impossible to top Mario Kart 8's visuals and while you can still make an argument for that game, Mario Kart World is downright gorgeous and the entire open world is full of neat details. My favorite one is Daisy's Palace near Shy Guy Bazaar.

It also really puts into perspective just how low quality the Booster Course Pass tracks for 8 Deluxe were (looking at you Toad Circuit and pretty much every IRL Tour track). It was clearly a thrown-together DLC pack while World was in development. I really hope Nintendo takes time with DLC tracks for World so the game's quality remains consistent.

Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds New Free Characters Update, Coming Soon

JR150

Tangle and Whisper are more exciting for me than any of the paid season pass characters. This is the first time that comic-book characters have ever been playable in a proper Sonic game on console so this is huge for the future of the series especially if they're included in new mainline games after this. Hats off to Sega for giving the people what they want.

Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Gets Faster On Switch 2 Next Month

JR150

December 4th. What's cool is that if you already own the Switch 1 edition, the Switch 2 edition upgrade will be half off until December 10th which means day 1 Switch 2 players will have only paid 65 for this game instead of 70 like other consoles/PC. And on top of that, buying the Switch 2 edition upgrade before December 17th grants us the Werehog DLC pack.

Sega is finally doing right by their players for once. Great moves.
