Can’t say I’m a fan of the new legandaries. They suffer from the same issue Black and Whites did by being a bit over designed. Everything else I’m digging though.
@Croarus people need to understand that Nintendo need to have these smaller titles to fill up their release calendar too. It’s why they pivoted to the current model of releasing more content later soo they can get the game out faster.
Let’s be honest, the people complaining about Nintendo Switch Sports were never the target audience for the game. The target audience was the casual crowd who just wanted to play it with their friends and families.
@RubyCarbuncle dude I’m 30, almost, I remember when games were delayed too. But delays are not good. They can give you more time to work on it, but that also leaves a massive hole in the release calendar which can be disastrous. Don’t believe me, look at Starfield and what it’s done to the XBox.
And lulls in game releases is one of the big reasons the Wii U failed. Nintendo don’t want that to happen again, hence why they pivoted to this release strategy.
@KBuckley27 no the game is finished. It’s fully playable and all the main mechanics are in the game. Saying this game isn’t finished is like saying the original Street Fighter 2 wasn’t finished.
To those complaining that the game is incomplete and is just getting the content via a free update, if they released the game with all the content in it at launch that would mean delaying the game for a few months.
And if you think you’re ok with that, well fair enough, but Nintendo is not. Having a lull in games coming out is not good, it’s one of the reasons the Wii U died. It’s why companies try to avoid delaying a game as much as possible. So if Nintendo can release a finished, fully playable game with a slight lack of content, and then update it with more content in the future, then that’s precisely what they will do.
@gcunit it could also be to simplify things a little. There are technically 2 Wonder boy 3’s, one for arcade and one for the Master Ststem. And Monster World IV isn’t the 4th game, it’s the sixth, Wonder Boy is confusing.
I’m playing it right now. Good game, but not that accessible for newcomers. The arcade ai is brutal and the limited continues seems like a backwards design decision.
I remember seeing similar allegations a few years ago when Lords of Shadow 2 released with no corroborating evidence to back it up, from an employee that was supposedly fired.
It’s important to listen to these allegations with a degree of scrutiny. People will and often do lie to get back at others for perceived wrongs. That doesn’t mean we should disregard the allegations, but we need to make sure the people that are making them can back them up
Um, no, no it does not look like Pokemon. It doesn’t even look like it’s part of the same genre. It looks more like Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance.

Oh no a drop to 3. Clearly this is an indication of the game’s failure, no other factors could explain this. 🤦♂️

I’m glad this is coming but it sucks a lot of the games are releasing on other collections.
Re: Party On, Dudes! Two Bill & Ted Games Are Getting A Physical Bundle On Switch
But why though? These games were horrendous.
Re: New N64 Emulator Plugin Adds Ray Tracing, Widescreen, 60FPS (And More) To Classics Like Zelda & Paper Mario
That’s pretty damn impressive. I’d love to see a new game with this style.

Re: You Likely Won't Be Able To Catch 'Em All In Pokémon Scarlet And Violet
This was a band aid that should have been ripped off since Gen 3. There are too many Pokémon to code at this point.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Pokémon Violet Announced, Releasing Worldwide On Switch In "Late 2022"
Guys it’s been 3 years, we were due gen 9 at this point.
Re: Wonder Boy Collection Is Coming To Switch This Year
@gcunit it could also be to simplify things a little. There are technically 2 Wonder boy 3’s, one for arcade and one for the Master Ststem. And Monster World IV isn’t the 4th game, it’s the sixth, Wonder Boy is confusing.
Re: Wonder Boy Collection Is Coming To Switch This Year
Awesome! I was curious why Wonder Boy 3 was absent, then I remember they already released it via the remake so I get why they skipped it.
Re: 'Capcom Fighting Collection' Brings An Arcade Exclusive Home After 26 Years

Excited for this. Looks like it has all the charm of Stardew Valley but with a bit more focus in the core gameplay loop.
Re: Metroid Dread Studio Hit With Allegations Of Poor Organisation And Management
