@AG_Awesome Oh, very differently yes. There's a lot of minutia between Tetris versions that would take a long time to explain, and is better experienced through actual play.
I mean, if one is really curious... these are all very old games that can also be enjoyed via "other methods." But I do think all the documentary material makes this release worth looking into.

@AG_Awesome Yes, because it's basically an interactive documentary on the history of Tetris, with a lot of different versions to enjoy and learn.

Physical, physical, physical. This needs a physical version so bad.

It would be really, really funny if this led directly into the Switch 2 reveal.

"A shockingly untrustworthy 71% of respondees said they hadn't ever licked a Switch game cartridge, either."

Whenever I get a new Switch game, I "christen" it by licking the cartridge. Just once. I'm not ashamed.
(I don't do this for used games because I'm silly, not foolish!)

I am SO glad I have a physical version of this one.

This is also a pretty big strike against the NSO expansion pack, if only "select individual classic titles" will remain up.

This is an absolutely essential feature, and I'm glad to see Nintendo is taking it seriously.
I guess a broken alarmo is right twice a day.

Not at launch.
It looks good, and I do want it.
But dang, too many games, not enough money.

@Wisps You can disagree if you want, but I still firmly believe a game should be reviewed on how fun it is to play today, in the current time.

Vampire Survivors was already my top favorite "Castlevania" game.
This DLC has only enhanced my existing love for it, as well as my love of actual Castlevania.

The true end of an era
Thank you for your service.

@Yoshi3 One of the cons outlined in this review says "Visuals and gameplay are undeniably old-fashioned," so.

@Bonggon5 It's not unfair.
A game should be reviewed on how fun it is to play today, in the current time.
If all games were rated based on how good they were at the time they came out, there'd be a lot of games getting undue praise for no reason but nostalgia.

Honestly, that's a great costume. 5 stars.

I was starting to think I'd never see a Rage of Dragons release date, so this is excellent news!

The Accolade Sports Collection is a pleasant surprise too.

@Iskandy results may vary. it depends on how much of a completionist the player is, as well as willingness to XP grind.

the more I see and learn about this game, the more I want it.

I'm not too keen on spending a full $60 USD price tag on a 10 - 15 hour RPG, but... it bears replaying, and it looks really nice.

@coolioam Oh that's a good point. i commute to work, so I do pay for premium.

or I could just listen to them all on YouTube right now without waiting.
this is a cute service and all, but not uploading the entire library of music (or at least all of the "greatest hits") all at once is a mistake.

now I'm just waiting for them to include a physical version.

very excited for Alardoom: The Dark Ages

they aren't announcing a blessed thing before the December holidays.
there really needs to be more checking of expectations.

Yoshi's Wooly World would like a word (the inferior 3DS version doesn't count).

Oil be sure to avoid using it.

I love to hear this kind of news.
Emulation is a hydra that no gaming company will ever defeat.

"Fixed an issue where communication processes such as software downloads would not function properly during sleep mode."

It's interesting how many people didn't notice this until Version 19.
I've had the download problem since at least V16, possibly as far back as V15.

I haven't noticed any issues (yet) myself, but I also got in the habit of turning my switch all the way off when not using it for a couple hours.

"More IS more, but sometimes more is too much"
This con right here exemplifies exactly why this game is undeserving of anything above a 6 (mayyybe a 7).
Tooie is so bloated it buckles under its own weight. Now granted the collecathoning isn't as bad as, say, Donkey Kong 64. But it's definitely worse than Banjo-Kazooie. This game is a rare (no pun intended) example of Rare trying to catch lightning in a bottle twice, and failing.

I love games like this doing little wink-and-nod crossovers. Like, "here's indie game Balatro! here's indie game Potion Craft! here's an actual flesh and blood musician for some reason because why not!"

Yooka Laylee wasn't exactly bad, but it certainly wasn't very good. I'm curious to see what a remaster of this game can do, and what a tightened up experience would feel like, regardless of what platform it's on.

It's guerilla marketing. Nintendo didn't make anyone sign anything, and there's no NSO account penalties for leaking the data.
So basically Nintendo got paying customers (expansion pass subscribers) to perform free advertising.

tvPH Brazil has a solid track record, so I trust them. Not that this news is surprising, either.
"First party developer to focus on new hardware." Yeah, obviously.

I got this bag with my points, and I was surprised at how impressive it is!

It's built from a pretty solid canvas, and has done well on a couple grocery trips so far - major step up in quality from the cheap nylon bags they offered a couple years ago. It's a good size too, with a print that doesn't feel like it'll chip off quickly.

@Zach777 I'm not looking to change anyone's mind.
I just have a moral compass I proudly stand by.

"Ancel found himself at the heart of some controversy in recent years, however, after a report alleged of toxic behavior stemming from his leadership at Ubisoft."

A lot of fans and gaming press either forgot that, swept it under the rug, or both.
I never forgot.
I swore to never buy a Ubisoft game again, and I don't regret it a single bit.

I truly and unironically appreciate this 🙏🏽 I love leaked games.
They help me determine if I wanna spend $60 USD on a game or not.

@KIRO Given what I already know about it, I believe it.

@Ninfan No it's not related to gamecube at all. That's one of a few reasons it was a disappointment.

Still waiting on that physical.

It's always sad to see games get less accessible, but I'm glad it's still available at all.
This is one of the most feel-good gaming experiences available on Switch.

No, because I already have Sonic Generations on two other releases, and Shadow isn't a very interesting character.

Love that even though this isn't going for a pitch-perfect movie adaptation or anything, they still went and made Frank-N-Furter look just like Tim Curry — the definitive version of the character.

Did they forget we already have Minecraft and No Man's Sky on Switch?

I looked up the details on other sites, and wow what a disappointment.

If you have issues with reading small text, skip this game.

Kevin's Mario still needs a little work, but his Luigi is good, his Wario has improved, and wow his Waluigi is perfect.

I'm gonna be honest - I wasn't expecting this or RetroRealms Halloween to review well. So this is a pleasant surprise, just in time for scary season! Great review, thanks.

he'll be sorely missed, but he leaves an astonishing musical legacy.
he's earned his flowers and a great big rest ten times over ❤️

Hey, more fighting games is always good. And more indie fighting games is even better.
I never heard of this one before, so thanks for the review.

...that "Typhlosion of interest" crack was on purpose, wasn't it? 😏
