@iLikeUrAttitude My comment was sarcasm on the fact that Palworld is similar to Pokemon, and Nintendo is quite stringent on protecting their property (as we've seen recently with Heaven Studio...). Also, yes the Switch is underpowered, but is power really what it's going for?
I mean, I think it's reasonable to let Retro off the hook on this one. Have you SEEN Prime 4? It looks INCREDIBLE! ...then again I'm not really a DK guy myself.
Nintendo is like a grampa who has really good stories, and is really kind, but anyone who shares even a piece of one of his stories, even if it's severely edited, gets put on his hitlist.
Neva gonna give you up! In all seriousness, my time playing Gris was... interesting. Honestly, the game felt tedious, and not in a "this was intentional" way like with, say, The Longing. Plus, while I enjoy a good story, Gris' didn't really click with me. Also, I've never watched a Studio Ghibli film, as for some reason I feel like I can't watch anime (probably just teenager jazz). However, when the game inevitably goes on sale, I'll probably still give it a go. For one thing, Gris DID look stunning, no matter what my bored-gourd mind said, and this game looks to be the same. Plus, while I'm more of a ferret person myself, Neva is quite adorable, and uses a design that has absolutely NEVER been done before. ...that was a joke I've seen a very similar design at least twice before. Still pretty cute, though.
Keep in mind, when they said "direct", they could have meant any kind of direct, including shudders a partner showcase. HOWEVER, if we do get a regular direct... honestly I don't care I just got Vampire Survivors I think I'm set for the rest of my life.
@Ironcore Oh boy, here we go again... Anyways, I'm not getting the game, but only because I just beat the original (like when they announced the remake, it was my most recently beaten game), but I'm pretty sure the stunning visuals make up for any frame rate issues. Plus, I'm not sure the game needed much new content, so a QOL repaint might be exactly what the game needed.
This feeling... it can't be... I think a Nintendo product... is SUB-PAR?!? But seriously, as far as I can tell, this is not worth it in the slightest. If every challenge is like, six seconds, what's the point? There might be more to it than that, but still, I'd only get it for a steep discount. Also, the trailer is hilariously underwhelming. It hypes things up considerably, and then just kills it all in less than a second.
@MirrorFate2 Actually, I'm pretty sure it wasn't, as I remember it had a trackball. Also, I have a copy of Monkey Ball 2, I just haven't tried it yet. Maybe I should...
CELESTE THEME PARK?!? ...I'll take my leave. But seriously, I do like this concept of one dedicated plaza for all the multimedia-based attractions. You know, excluding the ones already in the park.
Honestly, concept art and a jukebox are probably all the game needs to be worth it. Good thing too, since it doesn't look like we're getting much else.

Re: Poll: With 'Switch 2' Rumours Swirling, Will There Be A September Direct This Year?

Re: Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp To End Online Service In November

Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Overworld Sure Looks Familiar, But Is It?
For the most part one could say it's a coincidence, but cmon, the rock field and the EASTERN PALACE are pretty damning pieces of evidence

Re: Hands On: 'Gris' Devs Are Ready To Make Us Cry Again With The Beautiful 'Neva'

No matter what you think about this game, can we all agree on one thing: this game is GORGEOUS.
