Here you go, I found this review more helpful as it actually talks about what the game has to offer without the mocking. I mean no disrespect to the reviewer whatsoever.
Why are people instantly assuming they were involved in the micro transactions of this game and trashing Bandai. It even says in the article that they developed assets and challenges. There's a lot involved in development. They were just contracted, don't start flipping out for no reason.
@KitsuneNight Maybe you have had personal bad experiences with it, but grinding does not make a game bad. Poor implementation is one thing, but that can be said about any game mechanic. Grinding is included specially in RPGs because it synergizes well with one of the core principles of the genere, character growth. In an RPG you get the awesome feeling of struggling at first with some weak enemies, then, after 100 hours of gameplay with lots of grinding and adventure, you have grown. You are stronger, and you can see yourself back in the day struggling with those monsters from the beginning which you can defeat now by merely touching them. That amazing feeling people get who love RPGs, myself included, can only be achieved after all the hard work you've put on growing your character(s). You feel as if you truly deserve the power you have because you worked for it. That's what grinding is for.
@geox30 I do have the SN30 pro and like using it. I got a bit skeptical of people saying it's prompt to miss inputs on the d-pad, although I don't really know if I haven't experienced it or haven't noticed.
This is one of my favorite fighting games ever. Can't believe it finally arrived on the switch, it's been forever since the announcement.
Quick question for anyone interested, what's your favorite d-pad for fighting games on the switch. Ignoring the possibility of buying an arcade stick. I'm really on the fence on this one and curious about what others think.
Yeah sure, drift that happens with continuos use. This dude implies that it happens out of the box, I don't remember anyone complaining about drift on the first year of the switch. With a 23 sec video as proof. Kids these days do anything for that internet attention.
I still can't wrap my head around what I've recently found out about Nicalis. I thought they were the cool publisher that included physical goodies in their digital games and I loved that.
@Darknyht I'm sorry friend you lost me at Android app permissions. I was referring to the ability to easily exploit a closed system such as a console through games for the wild things you mentioned like bitcoin mining or information stealing. But since you really want to know how people make money with free games is microtransactions. I don't know if you're new here but if you go to the eshop page of this game you will see the dev selling multiple level packs as well as in bundles of in-game currency. There you go, mystery solved.
@mcpedwards I thought it worked like that as well but the games you buy with vouchers do not give you points. You only get points for the vouchers themselves.
@Darknyht exactly, that is the only example that exists. And even that one was instantly taking care of when Nintendo removed it. Also it was just a compiler, meaning an actual exploit was not introduced. It could've served as an entry point for doing something with the Switch but that required user input. Also they confirmed that games run on a sandbox much like how you can protect OS instances by virtualizing them. That's why people who find exploits do it on a hardware level first. So yeah, everything is fine.
@Darknyht yeah don't worry, consoles are closed environments for developers where you cannot do those things. Even when someone manages to do it on PC where it is possible people find out within a week.
@PaperLucario I know you where referring to video games. I was acknowledging that it takes an incredible amount of effort to beat everyone else and become the best regardless of what it is. Don't get me wrong I respect your opinion. I'm just fascinated by what people can achieve when they set their minds into it.
@somebread I was genuinely asking since I couldn't come up with one. They've never released digital versions of their N64 games? One I can think of that annoys me is TLoZ four swords on the game cube.
@Darlinfan should've tagged the other guy as well. But that's just an aside, my main point is that I don't believe this court case has anything to do with their dev team decisions.
@Darlinfan I'm pretty sure the team in charge of pricing games has nothing to with their legal team in charge of this. I don't think it's a logical comparison. Also the though of calling out companies for "being only about money" is nonsensical, after all, that's the main reason for companies to exist and their way to survive.
One of the things I hate the most about the online mobile app, besides the dumb concept, is that it's not even available to download from every country in both the play store and app store. So even if it did work and people used it, a large audience would not be able to use it. It's beyond idiotic.

@KitsuneNight Are you using the sticks on the pro controller or the d pad?
