Not gonna lie that read like an 8. I think some of those criticisms on a non-Zelda game would've dropped the score. Overall, great review and insights into how this compares to the Wii.
Leon Kennedy, Claire Redfield, Master Chief, Dante from DMC, Ryu Hayabusa. I also feel like Min Min should've been a free DLC like Piranha Plant & not counted towards the fighters pass
@Pirate1 RE1 is great. If you have a PS4 / Xbox One or their next gen variants, I'd highly recommend the REmake of Resident Evil 2 then work your way around the series. I just beat RE2 on my Series X and bought resident evil 0 & both revelations games today because I loved it so much
Sell just the screen, no dock, no straps and no joycons. Don't even need to include a power cable like the New 3DS XL. They will move even crazier amounts of units then.
The game & watch item is overstocked EVERYWHERE. Amazon even cut it down to €40. Such a grossly overpriced item that can be easily obtained on NSO or through emulation or $5 on the DS / Wii U. It's a cheap, overpriced toy. I really like the Super Mario 3D collection and SM35 was super fun. It's always hit or miss with Nintendo on pricing
If I revisit why I think the price is high is because Metroid Prime IV will be the same price. Obviously the price is going to be what the company is going to price it at and what people will pay for it. It's $60 but to the point in the video, we can wait for a sale, still think 50 would've been sweet. Hope some tie in exists with MP4 to add some extra value to it
@VoidofLight I'm also a Pokemon fan, completed my Dex for Sword & Shield. I just expect more from the largest entertainment franchise on Earth, especially after spending years of my life & money on the Pokemon franchise. I actually just bought SMT IV and I'm looking forward to SMT V too. It's not so bad comparing games with the same hardware limitations on the same console. Didn't mean to upset you, but c'mon, this game looks GREAT!
Castlevania as a 3D over the shoulder survival game would be TIGHT!!! It could be a mix of a non-Belmont exploring the Castle, solving puzzles and some action sequences with bits that tie into a 2D reboot made by another Konami team
Just picked up MH Rise yesterday during the prime sale for $38, looking forward to SMT V, Metroid Dread (because I'm a slave to the franchise), Cruisin, Project Triangle Strategy, Splatoon 3, and keeping my wary eyes on No More Heroes 3, Pokemon Arceus and Monkey Ball. Advanced wars for $60 or emulators of the originals for $30?? Ehh. Glad the franchise is rebooted, more excited for the prospect of a new AW entry than this overpriced testing-of-the-waters version of the game. Great time for Nintendo!!! On a separate note, really looking forward to Psyconauts 2, Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5 and Back 4 Blood!!!!
Man we all know they're just going to repackage the original Animal Crossing, add DX to the title, make it 480p for HD visuals which reviewers will say is "gorgeous" or "breathtaking", charge full price and not provide DLC just like Super Mario Party, right? Duh! Get with the program. Would be cool if they just keep throwing on content and new buildings of course, an extra 8x8 space of island, more beach. Lots of possibilities
If this launces for $60 will the reviewer dock points for it or add points for the price? Not sure how pricing affects reviews anymore for non-first party games. Still sour over advance wars reboot camp and the mario party remake launching at $60 ! While 3rd party devs are expected to launch at lower price points. Wah, think I'm becoming a troll after that e3 direct 😭😭
Look at the Bloodstained series for a better comparison than Hollow Knight, that game also did not come in topping $60 and the amount of support and additional free DLC from Iga who helped create the Castlevania series will most likely not be the same for Dread. Still better to wait for a sale for the standard edition. The special edition better justifies its price point. $49 would've been a sweet spot but Nintendo for sure makes the best profit decisions for it's games out there. Ori is another good comparison for dev time, quality and graphics. Fair arguments here & nothing us gamers will say will result in a lower price so the $60 price tag obviously wins!
Honestly it's a waste of time preordering games unless they're special edition. The physicals almost always go on sale on Amazon or large retailers for 5-20% below preorder price. You're paying an anxiety fee for the most part otherwise for standard editions
The game definitely looks good in comparison to the N64 but to other games showcased during E3 on next gen consoles? It....is...acceptable 😏 still wish this was paid DLC
Love e3, really helps set up what games I plan to get for the Fall / Winter months and teasers for games a few years out. Having so many developers and publishers, it can be hard to follow EVERY game event, so I mostly keep on eye on E3 then the Game Awards in December, with the occasional direct style videos the console makers put out
@Warbeard yeah that Mario Party reveal was a joke! Easily could've been a $15-30 DLC and would've capitalized on getting the existing fan base to purchase & could sell it as a deluxe bundle for newer players at $70-90. Really was a slap in the face to charge full retail price for an N64/ GC remake
As a long time Metroid fan, have to say Samus Returns was alright. It looks like a very similar graphics engine, wish they pushed the Switch hardware, lots of jagged edges and the graphics look so-so. After having beat Hollow Knight, I think Nintendo has to really up their game because that's the Metroidvania to beat. Will wait for a review and sale for this bad boy, $60 for a Switch game.based on what looks like a 3DS engine just doesn't justify the price for me. $40-50 would've been sweet (like WarioWare)
A related coding game I played on Switch was FUZE. I tried FUZE for about 2-3 hours and found it hard to use with the joycons + keyboard combo and having to fiddle with the tutorial in between. It was helpful and I made a map and some animated sprites but ultimately gave up. This looks great. Hope the tools just get easier and easier to use. Did a python course for fun last spring & it's been helpful for product management and working with devs, always recommend taking at least an entry level course or online tutorials for coding, it can be helpful
Absolute pinnacle of consumerism. They made sense in an age without the internet and digital manuals, sure we love them but ultimately like getting a dummy thicc phonebook for every place you move to. Sure you use it once or twice but then it just sits there 99% of the time only to serve as a fleeting memory of ownership for a product you already know how to use.
I wonder how much all of the plastic Nintendo is responsible for weighs? I probably own like 4kg of Nintendo based material so I know it has to be millions of pounds for us poor nostalgia loving consumers 😂😭
