It’s a really good game! It doesn’t feel like I’m learning, and I mean that in a good way. The educational parts just sort of wash over me and the next thing I know, I have a few more words and phrases down. It’s an impressive game on top of an impressive gamified learning experience.
@LastFootnote I agree, a digital download is much more convenient. But if my choice is a digital copy that I need a cart for but I can sell it again or a digital copy that I can’t resell, the choice gets harder.
I bought Bravely digitally because I knew I was going to play it more than once, but I bought Yakuza key card because I know I will sell it when I’m done as I already have a copy on Steam
I don’t understand all the vitriol for key cards. I get that it’s MUCH better to have the full game on the card, but isn’t this much better than having a box with a code inside? Or a full game on the cart, but you need a day one patch for it to be playable? Other companies have done that time and time again, but I think that is much worse.
At least with these we can resell them and let people borrow then, right??
@RubyCarbuncle you aren’t helping your point here. Could I buy a WiiU and both games for $300+? Sure, but the WiiU isn’t nearly worth that. Could I bring out my GameCube or Wii? Well, my GC broke and my Wii is having issues on top of the QoL changes they made in the HD versions that I didn’t get to see. You’re more than welcome to not want it, but you don’t have to force your opinion on others.
@TG16_IS_BAE So what’s wrong with a company protected its invention? If the EULA only protects the company (which I’m not arguing), how is that a problem? To me, it’s kind of like copyright law. A copyright only protects the holder, not the consumer. The license agreement protects the company against things like reverse engineering and piracy.
Basically that NintendoLife shouldn’t report on anything Microsoft and he/she didn’t care about someone with a disability (at least that’s what I took from the comment)
Edit: you need a special third party attachment to make the controller work with switch
I think it did okay, but not great if I recall. It was such an old game and not the highest regarded in their library (though a really good game in its own right).
@Alucard83 not actually the case in all of the games, but sadly they hide the grinding levels behind paid dlc. A crappy move, but they are technically there.
@SmaggTheSmug if you like the genre, do it. I noticed a bit of chop when I first started, but after five minutes or so, I literally notice no slowdown at all. Yeah, it’s smoother docked, but totally worth playing handheld.

I really enjoy this game! The dev is super active on the Shujinkou discord as well, if you care to interact with him.

Really? They’ve gone on record saying that there isn’t any missable characters.

All this could be useless if it were just standard practice to be able to remap all your buttons.

Anyone hear the original Broadway production of Matilda (check it out on Spotify)? She sounds very similar. I like it!

@jobvd how do you be the best? Did you watch that gameplay? That’s how people can tell they are some of the best.

Wow. There’s something not quite right about about you.

Re: Hack And Slash Title Blades Of Time Is Getting A Switch Remaster With Revamped Multiplayer
Never played it but has been in my Steam backlog for years. Is anyone excited about this? I remember hearing it was mediocre at best.

I’m hoping it’s not just the side scrollers and it’s the legit, main entires.
Re: Rumour: Hastily Updated Amazon Listing Suggests Fallout 76 Will Arrive On 31st July
@Menchi187 Explain. Why couldn't they make a port like they did for Wolf and Skyrim Remastered?
Re: Rumour: Hastily Updated Amazon Listing Suggests Fallout 76 Will Arrive On 31st July
@Menchi187 Not impossible. If they can bring Wolfenstein over, its possible. Difficult yes, impossible no.
Re: Digital Foundry Takes Issue With Hyrule Warriors' Portable Performance On Switch
@SmaggTheSmug Well, I'd say if you love Zelda as a series and mindless action, you'll like the game imo.
Re: Rumour: Hastily Updated Amazon Listing Suggests Fallout 76 Will Arrive On 31st July
@Menchi187 No what?
Re: Rumour: Hastily Updated Amazon Listing Suggests Fallout 76 Will Arrive On 31st July
I hope I’m wrong, but there’s almost no chance of 76 coming to Switch. I think Fallout 4 has a chance though.
