Re: Sumo Digital Will Change the Snake Pass Logo on Switch in Its Next Update

Kosmo

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.

Re: Review: Pokkén Tournament DX (Switch)

Kosmo

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.

Re: Fear Effect Is Being Remastered On The Nintendo Switch

Kosmo

@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)

Re: Sonic Mania Runs Brilliantly on Switch, With One Tiny Drawback

Kosmo

@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.

Re: Review: Shantae: Half-Genie Hero (Switch eShop)

Kosmo

@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.

Re: Review: Shantae: Half-Genie Hero (Switch eShop)

Kosmo

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...

Re: Pokkén Tournament DX Confirmed For Nintendo Switch

Kosmo

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!

Can't wait to see some Smash announcement.

Re: Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Shimmies Onto Switch On 8th June

Kosmo

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.

Re: Playtonic Writer Reflects on Yooka-Laylee’s Performance

Kosmo

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.
