Re: EDGE Magazine Reveals How A Single Joy-Con Works in Arms

For me it's the issue of the system not living up to its billing.
It's supposed to be a seamless experience across multiple play-styles.

Look at Mario Kart. The same game docked/undocked/tabletop whether you're playing multiplayer or single player.
That's the expectation from people buying the console - but it's not what you get in this example.

You're right; tilt to move wouldn't be great - tilt to aim would be better - but either way it's disappointing that the solution from the developer is to change the game so fundamentally.
I can imagine trying to play like this after playing the 'full' version would be incredibly frustrating.

All in all a big selling point of the system - local multiplayer without the need for any extra equipment - is gimped in what I really hope is going to be an early stand-out title.

Would have been a better article of you restricted it to Third Party games only - Imagine how much more interesting this would have been to read (and write) about Steamworld Heist, Azure Striker, Gunvolt, Runbow, BoxBoy, Fractured Soul...

These may not have the appeal Mario and DK, but at least it would offer something a little different from reading about those franchises for the gajillionth time.

Tank! Tank! Tank! Is a must for this series.
It's three-quarters complete rubbish and one-quarter complete genius. But what a quarter! My Kong mode makes fantastic use of the touch screen and is one of the best party games on the system.

It's super cheap to find online so getting it for that one-quarter is entirely viable.

Re: Review: Gotcha Racing (3DS eShop)

"Gotcha Racing is a deceptively complex, addicting racer with a maddeningly addictive collection and upgrade system."

Sorry to get all grammar Nazi in here but that's just about the most annoying sentence I've ever read.
Addictive and addicting are not different words for the same thing.

Game sounds good, was about to go and buy but I'm in the EU.

This is why I hate review scores.
Even in isolation of the knowledge that this is the best game in its genre - there is not a negative word in this review.
There is nothing in the text to suggest what it is about the game (or the port) that the reviewer believes holds it back from that hallowed '10'.
