@Olliemar28 I think the only time I've ever really wanted a review revisited or changed was MK X. After reviews dropped, they just straight up changed the irl monies store to screw over players, and it felt very out of touch for the scores to stay the same after that. The note here seems fine to me.
@Lucami the boomers tried to ban these games, and also are kind of trying to destroy humanity currently.
The term is dumb. It's here to stay so whatever, but pretty dumb.
@mercilessrobot this team did Boltgun, and it had serious audio and performance issues at release (at least on Switch).
Looks rad.
Rad, I say.
This game has more in common with sixth gen/early 2000s shooters than the boom shoot era. Big gunses and asplosions, but you aren't secret hunting through labyrinthine levels. Usually big slaughter maps where you run around planting bombs on objectives.
These guys still have a problem making interesting levels, imo.
@jsty3105 I am surprised at how great Splintered Fate is. Glad it didn't die on Aplle Arcade or whatever. It would be nice if there was a non-roguelite mode for kids though.
@Uncle_Franklin and @DarkScythe13
I don't dig the wool aesthetic, but it played fine. I would like them to make a Yoshi game outside of "challenging as you make it." Same with Kirby.
I think Mario Galaxy is one of the most overrated games I have played, and the last movie was meh, but I can't wait to see this with my seven year old.
I have a New 3DS XL that a Dtoid user sold me for a steal about a decade ago, but I am probably getting an AYN Thor for my DS stuff and will pass down the 3DS if any of the kids want it.
My DS Lite is still used pretty regularly.
Seeing Capcom absolutely slay never gets old. I would really like a D & D brawler collection, personally. My kids and I have gotten into a beat em' up kick lately and it is glorious.
Heard the game and port are great. Its one of those series that I played from the beginning, and then dropped off around the fifth entry. Somehow seems to happen alot.
Oh it is NOT as good as Hades, haha. Hades is a flawless game.
I just picked this up and I am really surprised at the quality. Raph was my favorite as a kid, and they made him fun, which is apparently pretty hard.
Games never stop, man. Picked up Ball X Pit as well and hooooo boy.
Anyway, I hope I can get the kids into this.
No dog in this fight, but I am glad fans seem to be getting a decent looking Pokémon.
I think it's interesting that there are some fans that want a game that takes some time and consideration, and others that just want them to keep shoveling out slop.
Marvel Cosmic Invasion with the kids. It's a blast. So funny to hear the tough guys quips my seven year old comes up with. And Cosmic Ghost Rider is so rad.
Micro Mages and Turrican on the Evercade. Get a Super Pocket! They're wonderful!
@SlimeRyu is this an in-depth RPG? Seems like a shooter where you sometimes suggest the tone of what the protagonist says. I didnt do everything in it. But most of what I did was shoot.
THANK YOU. I was over the moon about this game when it came out. A lot of times, people don't trust me when I tell them how great it is. My favorite 2D Metal Gear.
I'll get Castlevania if it is interesting and/or better than the best Metroidvanias out there. Otherwise, hey! Glad they could get the Switch version almost as good as the PS3 version of this collection. WELCOME BACK KONAMI!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Sumptuous Retro Shmup 'ZPF' Launches On Switch In Just A Few Weeks
Projectiles in ZPF are most often the opposite color of the background, which helps them stand out. It's not a problem.
Re: Nintendo's Apparently Cutting US Switch 2 Output After Lower Than Expected Holiday Sales
I've owned every Nintendo console since the NES, but I am skipping this gen. Their hubris grosses me out.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (21st March)
