What a bizarre title, as they're completely different type of games.

UFO50 is excellent, highly recommend it!

Great news, I'm very happy for them!

Most likely, but not necessarily this month. Never played Forgotten Land so I'm excited to play it though.

@martynstuff Yeah, well... Even though I don't care what influencers think, they were 100% correct in this case. GameFreak deserved all the criticism they got for rushing the game out before it was ready. Yes, the Switch 2 version "fixed" it, but it was long time coming, and the fact that it still doesn't run well at all on Switch 1 is kind of embarrassing.

I never liked the design of these two Pokémon from Scarlet/Violet. One of the many reasons I didn't even get the game.

It's a fantastic game... except on Switch. Not even hitting 30fps on a title like this is not acceptable.

@SpaceboyScreams I'd rather get a new Smash with smaller roster than a new version of Ultimate. If I want to play Ultimate, I'll just play Ultimate.

I really do like the design. Very reasonable price too.

It looks very good, but that name is absolutely awful. What were they thinking?

@Xansies I think the fur itself looks excellent, very stylish. But it definitely goes for a cartoony look instead of realistic.

Yes, it's very obvious and I kind of hate it.

Not the first time that developers have accidentally used fan art thinking it was official. And it will not be the last either.

@boxyguy They used the same wording (VS Race) with the last update that some people claim ruined the online. So either they now fixed that, or never changed anything to begin with regarding online.

Seems like a simple yet fun game.

It looks great, but it should definitely run 60fps even on the first Switch. Kind of worrying that they didn't make it a priority.

I'd rather just wait for the upcoming Professor Layton game.

Understandable, it's most likely much more difficult to get the game running on Switch 1 than the rest of the machines, and they probably don't have Switch 2 dev kits either. Hopefully they'll port it to Switch 2 at some point.

Really wish they would tell what they fixed.

If a current gen game targets 60fps on PS5 and Xbox Series X, then it's not exactly surprising to see Switch 2 version running 30fps considering how much weaker the system is. Get used to it, this will be happening a lot in the future.

10€ is fair enough I suppose, but the pricing of those DLC packs is insane. The game looks fine, but nothing particularly exciting.

This is only about UK sales though. I wonder how it sold in the rest of the world.

I think the new jump mechanic in N-Sane Trilogy is fine, but the collision/hitboxes are kind of off. Crash just slides off certain platforms that he shouldn't slide off if he's just a tiny bit too close to the edge.

Worried that they're also going to delay the new Professor Layton game...

@Baker1000 It feels very different from Mario Kart 8. The vehicles don't feel as rigid and you can really feel the weight of the cars in World. Additionally, they have completely new mechanics like grinding on rails and wall riding. I'm not saying World feels better (or worse) than MK8, but it certainly feels different.

@The21zonz If you watch the video, they do talk a fair bit about the gameplay. Seems like John enjoyed it quite a bit.

It's a very fair tech review from DF. Overall I was left with positive feelings, although that one boss fight that they showed... yikes, that's pretty rough.

@VoidofLight Pretty sure those images aren't supposed to represent their look in the film. I would be surprised if Link isn't blonde in the film.

@Debo626 Fair enough. My point is, parental controls exist on Switch, so it makes sense to use them. There are also some very violent games on eShop that are not suitable for young people. But, as I said, I agree that the games with sexual content should be filtered out by default.

@Debo626 While I agree that those should be filtered out by default, you probably shouldn't allow them to browse eShop to begin with.

@HingryHuppo To be fair, EULAs apply to physical purchases as well. They're not going to take your physical game away, but a physical game is licensed to you in the same manner as digital games.

@HingryHuppo Obviously nothing lasts forever (not even physical games), but you can still download the game far into the future. As long as Switch (2) eshop is up and running (which I imagine it will be even after Switch 2 is old news), there's no reason to panic.

Seems like a pretty good and varied soundtrack so I don't really mind them changing it up a bit. Quite the opposite in fact, I'm looking forward to finding some new music.

"Built to break" is just about as clickbaity title as possible, I expected better from Ifixit. The build quality itself is great, it's just the repairability aspect that could use some work. In general, I think Pro Controller 2 is excellent. Haven't had any issues with the sticks either, so I don't see any reason to panic about them possibly starting to drift in the future.

@rjejr I personally believe that games should be made to work well on whatever device they are targeting. So mobile games should be built to work on touch screen (preferably both in landscape and portrait). Granted, making Mario Kart work well on touch screen would be next to impossible.

@Johnny44 It does seem remarkably smooth. Not sure if it'll hold the framerate in the more intense combat sequences, but I'm glad to see that they've decided to focus on smooth gameplay instead of pushing graphical boundaries with this one (as the original had quite rough framerate).

@rjejr In my opinion there is something very much wrong with a mobile game if it needs a controller to be enjoyable. But then again, Mario Kart Tour is indeed quite awful.

@Orwellian87 Have you actually played GT? The moment you start one of the games you get an intro movie that have been without exception quite beautiful (and not just in the technical sense). In general, the series is a love letter and celebration to everything related to cars, and not just super fast race cars but also the most mundane everyday cars. This is apparent not only from the gameplay and car selection, but also things like history lessons about various subjects related to cars and motorsports. And that's before talking about graphics and audio which are also quite stunning.

If you can't see anything artistic about GT, then I'm not sure if you've looked hard enough.

@Orwellian87 Gran Turismo has a lot of artistic merit, though.

Hah, I thought it was weird that they changed the music in Zenshoh Habitat, especially since the new music track had completely different vibes. Good to know it was just a mistake.

Almost 45 hours, most of which in the online races. I'd give it a solid 9.

This sounds like a bug in Rune Factory if the game is running just fine but the inputs aren't working. But who knows?

A bummer, it's always sad to see people lose their jobs. That said, without having ever seen the game, I do have to wonder if it's right to jump to the obvious conclusion that Microsoft is to be blamed here. For all we know, the game was not shaping up well. Just some food for thought, world is never black and white.

That is just GC adapter with extra steps.

@LEGEND_MARIOID It could be simply that they aren't able to source enough 8GB/16GB/32GB storage chips that are fast enough to be used in game cards.

If it helps smaller developers get their games on stores, then I'm fine with them. They're just one more option, it's up to the publisher to decide which card they want to use.

@Lord I feel the opposite. Not sure if I'm happy to pay 80€ for this but Mario Kart was definitely worth it for me. That said, the game does look kind of fun.

@Jayenkai Yeah, SmileBasic is better for sure. That said, I prefer coding games with PICO-8 or Love2D on a computer.

Almost got excited... Oh well, at least those icons are cool. Metroid Fusion is one of my favourites.

I think Game Builder Garage is such a cool game in terms of its concept, but I didn't enjoy actually creating games in it. I love coding in the traditional sense but the node system wasn't as flexible as I would've wanted. Nonetheless, cool to see other people enjoying it!
