Talk is cheap, and Nintendo sure have been doing a lot of talking.
If credits are so important, then patching in the names of the original is the least that can be done. But the names of the original dev team should have been there from the start.
It's my Wii U that I bought with my money, and if it's not getting any further manufacturer support, most countries ensure I have every right to do with it as I please.
god I hated Hollow Knight.
I generally enjoy Metroidvanias. And the combat in this one is entertaining enough, but the rest of the game feels so empty and unappealing.
Now let's talk about the U.S. tech companies that are actually well documented as being arms of the U.S. military. Let ye without sin cast the first stone and all that.
Everything I read about the Switch port before this review was very, very bad.
The Switch is capable of things like Nier Automata, Witcher III, and Doom Eternal. I really, really hope publishers buck this trend of lazy Nintendo ports once Switch 2 rolls around.
I really hope this is just a whispered rumor!
I wouldn't think at a post-Arms Nintendo, they'd be in a rush to make a new Punch Out. But hopefully down the line they could get a studio that isn't Next Level Games to whip something up. Punch Out 99, anyone? Maybe Arms-Out?
I bit the bullet and got this digitally for $6 USD, and had a few fun sessions with it. But it's not nearly good enough to spend a premium price for a physical edition.
I hate to see working class devs and other boots-on-the-ground workers lose their job for any reason. I hope they find good work at a better company soon...
because holy smokes Ubisoft is less of a sinking ship, and more of a ship that has burst into flames after crashing into an iceberg and is sinking into the Bermuda Triangle. They are reaping what they've sown, and the games business will be better off once Ubisoft is shut down completely.
oh PLEASE. ππ
there are other, more egregiously salacious games on the eshop than this.
this is a self-inflicted restriction by the developer, seemingly to get pity purchases from people accessing the JP eShop.
weird move, considering Outside published two similar shmups (Cosmo Dreamer and Like Dreamer) on the North American eShop with no problems.
I got an physical of this game (for Xbox) on the cheap, and it's actually pretty fun. Solid mechanics and fast action. But Warner Bros insistence on nickel-and-dime DLC at every turn, having to pay to unlock all the cool stuff, and a half-baked expansion that costs more than the "it's always on sale" main game - these are all things that sentenced the game to a grim fate.
I don't blame netherealm. I blame the corporate greed at Warner Bros that is rotted down to the core.
This isn't the first Unpacking clone, and it (sadly) won't be the last. I'm sure that clone games like this just need to hit a few unsuspecting marks to turn a profit on their asset-flip AI-generated slop. Law of averages and all that. I hate that.

Re: So, Have You Pre-Ordered Donkey Kong Country Returns HD For Switch?
@ZZalapski still too much for a game that sold at $20 USD on Wii and 3DS.

not for $60 USD, absolutely not, no.

Re: Rumour: Developer Resume Suggests Gotham Knights May Be Heading To 'Switch 2'
I mean, it's not a bad game, but it's also not one held in very high esteem, with a publishing house (Warner Bros) that's looked upon even worse.
I'm not sure why Warner Bros chose to port this over, but oh well. I guess someone will buy it.
Re: Original Minecraft Creator Has "Basically Announced" A Spiritual Successor
As far as I'm concerned, Mojang has made Minecraft what it is today, not Notch.
I'm not interested in this wholly unnecessary vanity project. (Especially since Notch has said many abhorrent things on the record.)

Re: Best Tetris Games, Ranked - Switch And Nintendo Systems
no way Tetris Effect is less than #1.
it's the best of both classic and modern Tetris, with even more new stuff, a bunch of modes, and an unforgettable audio visual experience.

Re: Video: Here's Your First Look At The Witcher 4's Cinematic Reveal Trailer
@Guitar_bard I feel like this is a safe bet for Switch 2. Maybe delayed after other consoles, but I'd be surprised if it stayed on PS5/Xbox only.

@TimelessJubilee Yes. It looks to be a good jumping on point for me to check out.
Re: Video: Here's Your First Look At The Witcher 4's Cinematic Reveal Trailer

I've never played a Witcher game before, and I'm looking forward to checking this one out on Xbox (and/or Switch 2).

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's NES And Game Boy Color Library With Two More Classics
Tetris DX is a surprise, but a welcome one!
The music isn't as iconic as the GB original, but the glitches make the game real fun to mess around with.
And Tetris NES is still one of the best ways to play classic no-frills Tetris. I've already spent over an hour with it, and it remains a treat β€οΈ
Re: Palworld Developer Pocketpair Changes PokΓ©mon-Like Summoning Mechanic
