Good selection, I'm sure to take it. I'd have loved Charlotte for the Fates DLC... She's my favorite character from the whole franchise now... Oh well...
I'm sad Miiverse is lost, but it kinda went weird one moment. It became a sort of lair for weird fanfics and pseudo-dating. Also, everyone constantly complained about it...
Good content and reasonable pricing? SEGA, I applaud you. I would have bought Sonic Forced day one anyways (Yeah, I'm one of the few people that actually likes nearly all Sonic Games), but this is very cool!
Honestly, the Switch HOME menu already looks like butt, with no theme, no music, no Miis renning around and a measly 5 games in view, so why have ugly icons on top of that? If we wanted crappy games and crappy icons, we'd play Clash of Clans or any other "angry guy screaming" icon game. But we bought a sleek-looking game system for quality games (with a crappy HOME menu), so we'd love it to be as nice as possible. Honestly, the 3DS menu is so cool with the themes and the badges and stuff that sometimes, I just put it in sleep mode just to get another theme and enjoy it several times.
SteamWorld Dig 2 is a stellar game, that improves so much over its predecessor that it's just mind-boggling! I know now that when I see a game from Image and Form, I'm buying it.
Hated the demo, and won't get it anyway. The number of characters is stupidly low. Just give us skins of Pokémons with similar abilities and skeletons... Also, the arenas are too small, the special lack punch and power, the two combat systems really aggravates me... Overall, it's not for me at all.
Looking forward to it! A 3d action game, with giant monsters and a cool overworld with things to do! It puts Shadow of the colossus in my mind, with snippets of Guacamelee (but in 3d) and Mario Odyssey (why not?). A good cocktail to be sure!
Those games have never been translated to French for some. That's most likely the reason. And that's how a lot of French kids like myself got some of their English from.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE It's a espionnage thriller that plays like a classic Resident Evil. It made a few waves in its time because the two main protagonists were very heavily implied to be together (and there was much fanservice) I was too young to play it, but the few walkthroughs I read made the game enticing (yes, I did that when I couldn't play a game)
@Rocketjay8 Nah, it was a legit bug. At the beginning of the Press Gardens boss, I was rolling (around at the speed of sound) and Sonic stayed and rolled in the corner of the screen. The boss couldn't hit me, Tails wasn't doing crap... I had to reset. It's ok though. It's a stellar game.
Yeah, I noticed that but... Meh. More importantly, Sonic went into a roll and never exited it right before a boss Fight, and I had no choice but to do the level over again. Kinda annoying, but I'm sure it'll be corrected too
@Yorumi Don't worry it's no rehash. The zones that do get taken from each game (1 per game it seems) have tons of new ideas and new twists, even on the already wonderful music, and the new zones are spot on!
Hope nobody buys from those dirtbags and they have to sell them at regular price. And I hope Nintendo has learned its lesson and has appropriate stocks.
@OfNullAndVoid I tend to do the same: read and game in English when it's the original language. But here, for this game, it's not a matter of losing sense and humor in the translation, it's that it barely makes sense. For example, "relics" have been translated by the French word for "remains." We have cadaver bits in our inventory, yay! And in some cases, it's totally innapropriate. One scene where Shantae and Abner are having a silly fight in English is translated by them throwing the French F-word at each other. Truly a trainwreck.
Excellent but a bit short, still, even if the DLC will likely remedy that. Also, I don't know about other translations, but the French one is utter garbage, and entirely ruins the clever writing, leaving us baguettes with a sour taste...
The most important is local co-op anyway. That's why people buy the Switch. The solo is very nice but ultimately inconsequential for a title like FIFA, even if fantasy soccer on the go sounds nice for the fans. I'm glad they went to some length in developing the game for Switch though. I hope it'll sell well.
Was not interested by the Wii U iteration, am not interested by the Switch one either. The roaster is still tiny, I didn't like the battle system, and the voice acting was irritating even in the demo!
Excellent, but a bit short right now. Backed it though, so the dlc will come. But is it really worth buying it again? On a side note, the French translation is AWFUL. The worst I've ever seen. I hope it gets patched up. This alone prevents me from recommending it to my friends.
Looking real good. I hope they continue to keep this version alive. Maybe we'll get better draw distance and 1080p too at one point, but that's updates are very welcome.
I have actually delayed playing Zero Dawn, leaving the red hot memory of Zelda fade a bit, lest I'm disapointed. I'm glad a good game designer like Sakurai likes them boh, though. It really underlines the quality of Zero Dawn, which got so overshadowed by Zelda...
As far as I'm concerned, they haven't delivered anything, not even a release date for their Nintendo fans... But as far as reviews go, most negative reviews say it's just like a n64 game. You know, the thing the exact thing they were going for... No backer I know didn't love the game.
Really? I can't understand how a game that has been advertised as a return to the n64 era can be under fire for holding up this promise. It's a nostalgia trip, of course it's not perfect. What's next? Bloodstained is going to be too much like Castlevania?
@Equinox None that I have noticed, except for major goals like Korok Seeds or the Encyclopedia or the Shrines giving you something mostly useless when truly completed.

Re: Fire Emblem Warriors Makes Top 20 UK Chart Debut, But Can't Pass Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
I think it's a very good game, just like Hyrule Warriors was. It's a shame, but it was predictable.

@justin233 A Wargroove icon? How? IS this game going to surprise us and be released too? Can't wait for it!
