@AJWolfTill Good god, yes!!! I've been wanting a sequel or an HD remake on the Wii U ever since.. i felt like that would've been the ideal system... but dang. . an HD Switch version.... πππ
@moroboshi I forgot which event (Evo, i think), but they mentioned that they would NOT release this on Switch unless it ran a smooth 60fps. So, we "shouldn't" have to worry
@Gungeonite not sure if you got to DL the demo, but this game is GREATLY eased down to be accessibke to newcomers... trust me, I love fighting games, but ARC SYSTEM games DO have a tendency to have a HIGH learning curve...that is NOT the case with this game.. as a matter of fact, it's essentially a 2 button game with the 3rd acting as the EX version for attacks. EVERYBODY has a simple QCF/QCB motion for moves and all supers are done the same. There's a FEW advanced techniques, but nothing too difficult to learn!!
@TonyCrispy I feel you on that.. I've played every KOF with the exception of 14 so I don't rre eally have any nostalgic attachment to her (or Zarina, for that matter. But I guess it's not a big deal so long as we get the characters we hope and expect, right? π
@Audiobrainiac Code of Princess is SUCH a fun (and funny) game... the frame rate is rough, but if you have ever played Guardian Heroes on Sega Saturn or XBOX Live, then you'll feel right at home
@Shiryu Def hope fighting games find a home on the Switch just like the Saturn and Dreamcast did... those were two systems with very memorable, high-quality fighting games!!!
would TOTALLY double dip into this... had this game early on in Wii U's life cycle, but never got the chance to play more than 2 stages... hope the find new features to bring!!!
@Undead_terror yea, that's why I got turned off a bit too... the AI is pretty relentless even on easy. Also, i feel like the game is a bit on the quiet side.... like, i wish there was a bit more (if any) sound coming from the characters, regardless if they got hit or doing the attack.
@GrailUK ya, I'm sure it's intentionally having that cheesy stiff feel, just with somewhat updated graphics...just paying homage to Beat em Ups of the 90s.
@Not_Soos it's a great game. visually, it's vibrant with color and animation. the music is top notch and very catchy... veey cute how Shantae dances (bobs) to the music.
Hoping for info about potential, if not inevitable, release of Smash for Switch. Also.... how's about that Pocket Rumble? Blade Strangers, anybody?? MORE CAPCOM TITLES!?!
@NinjaWaddleDee yea, it seems like that's the intent...the so gritty it's cheesy look and feel of the 90s Beat em ups. It seems very self-aware, too. Honestly can't wait to play it even if it IS a "bad" game
@Nincompoop I'm pretty sure I've mentioned multiple times already that in 3rd person, the character's life is in my hands... the fear of THEM getting hurt or dying from my decisions is what scares me. Dude, I know that you're intentionally trolling me at this point. over it
@Nincompoop if you find VR scary, then good... that means the developers did a successful job in portraying the horror they're trying to convey... To you, 3rd person horror may not be scary to you at all, or it might be AS scary.... to ME, I just feel tha 3rd person is scarier.. that's MY opinion. I don't speak for every person or gamer out there. Heck, some people don't find ANY horror games scary, VR, 1st person, 3rd person. Some people find all 3 to be equally scary... it's all based on how THEY perceive terror and how they choose to react to it. So, to end this, like I said... don't know why you're so caught up on why VR doesnt scare me and that I'm obviously "lying" about it....
@Nincompoop why are you so caught uo on what I should find scary or not? And to answer that question, the main factor on my fear isn't based on what I can or can't see, it's whether my actual life is in danger or not. So, if the monster is just there to be there, and not trying to attack or kill me, why would I be scared? So back to the argument of VR, 1st person, or 3rd person... I find 3rd person scary, not because what I see on the screen, but the fear of the fate of the character rests on my hands. But when playing in 1st person or VR, the horror they're trying to convey is to YOU, the player, experiencing it. For me, however, even if I'm "in" the game, the knowledge that I can't ACTUALLY get hurt in real life takes away the fear factor to me.
look, just because it doesn't scare me, doesn't mean that I discount it at interesting or fun... it just DOESN'T SCARE ME... would it make YOU feel better if I said it DID scare me? because THEN for sure, I'd be lying
@Nincompoop I think you're just trolling me at this point. for what reason would I need to lie, or would someone think. was lying about it... I even said in a previous statement that being immersed in the game doesn't make it any more scary to me... same reason why I don't find haunted houses or horror movies scary... unless I'll somehow get hurt or killed in real life from it, the fear (for me) is taken out of the equation. And btw, VR IS 1st person... you're STILL looking at a screen (if even through a headset).
My bro in law doesnt understand my logic in why 1st person doesnt scare me, but for me, the fear comes in controlling the fate of the character... I dont want to BE the character or see thru their eyes, because if that's the case, the fear of me being harmed (in real life) is taken out.. same reason why i dont find haunted houses or horror movies scary... I'll still GO to them amd enjoy it, they just don't scare me (like a 3rd person horror game would).
@Nincompoop i wish i WAS lying, but I played Affected on my Samsung VR, and RE7 and the Until Dawn game on the PSVR and, although interesting, it 1st person horror just doesnt do anything for me... over the shoulder works a BIT better, but prefer the old fixed camera angles, or slight camera movement like in RE:CV and Dino Crisis
@Nincompoop funny you say that, it's just a personal preference to me, but 1st person horror (even in VR) just dont scare me, for some reason. Will still play it, but they dont scare me like the old fashioned, 3rd person Res Evils, and Silent Hills.
They WAS also a kickstarter for a game called Cult County for Wii U and other consoles. Wish they'd try again. or hecj, maybe an HD version of Dementium 1 and 2!!!
@MagnaRoader I reallybl wouldnt mind that either. Just wondering how they would implement it since you used the Gamepad as the camera. They should also redo part 4. I DO have the Eu version, but it never got officially released in the US
@abe_hikura agreed.... im super excited about this game, and really like seeing new footage on it, but it was a bit of a turn off when I found out you can only win the match by using the Supers, because then, I feel like it'll just be a match of spamming the Super until it finally connects
dafuuuuuuq?!! that DOES sound like a regression. I thoroughly loved the idea of playing various Sega characters with their unique vehicles and specials..i really hope they reconsider... i mean, even Mario Kart expanding out to other Nintendo IPs. Sega has already been doing it and should expand further!!
cant wait....i DID DL this on XBOX (wtf is an XBOX?) when it 1st came out but only played the 1st few mins. I put more time into my Switch, so I'll probably play this more (or in it's entirety). I hope it IS scary coz 1st person horror tends to not be scary (to me)...I much prefer over the shoulder, or heck, the old style horror such as Silent Hill, Res Evil, Fatal Frame!!!
@youkoaoshi i think that's my ONLY real gripe, too. underappreciated, and the 30fps and occasional lag made it ultimately become overshadowed by the much more powerful MK8. I think SART was just ahead of its time tbh
I thoroughly enjoyed both entries, especially Transformed because the Air, Land, and Sea sequences were just so vastly different from each other, yet worked so well. Plus, each character truly felt unique. If it wasn't for the fact that Mario Kart turned out to be a better game, I'd still be playing it. Also, I think I stopped playing because it tended to crash a bit. Great game, otherwise.
please tell me my asian eyes aren't deceiving me and that I really saw a release date for Blade Strangers!! Also...ooooh, Redout!!! And yes, of course I'm excited for titles like Bayonetta and Kirby!!!
