Not rage-bait, I promise, but this game is one of the most overrated I have ever played. Stealth, combat, and missions need serious work, and they were rough at launch.
There are so many great beat em' ups out and coming out. I still think Fight N' Rage and SoR 4 are peak, but variety is welcome. I just grabbed Absolum, digitally, so I am looking forward to starting that. Looking forward to this.
Packing up to move, so I have most of my collection in boxes. It was nice to take stock a little, but it also reminded me that I used to have so much classic stuff...grumblegrumble... Anyway! Absolum and Crimson Desert for me.
@Rhaoulos I hope you gain some perspective. Do you think Peach having more autonomy instead of the typical trophy princess might be cause little girls would think she is cool that way? Like "PEACH IS COOL I WANT TO BE PEACH FOR HALLOWEEN!" Are you 15???
@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.

@Keegsy I think Felghana and VII are peak, as a series fan.

@Trmn8r I miss when games were more obscure to "normal folk."

Re: Review: ZPF (Switch) - A Unique-Feeling Mega Drive Shooter With Some Switch Issues
It is really funny that the MD game runs better than Steam and Switch.
Re: "A New Mission Awaits" - SNK Celebrates 30 Years Of Metal Slug, Teases Exciting Future
It will be 2.5D and the art will be a sin against this series, for some reason.
Re: Metroid Prime Remastered Studio 'Iron Galaxy' Announces More Layoffs
@Handy_Man 100%.
Well...like 90%.
Re: He-Man's Stunning-Looking Beat 'Em Up Delayed Just Two Weeks Before Release
There are so many great beat em' ups out and coming out. I still think Fight N' Rage and SoR 4 are peak, but variety is welcome.

Looking forward to this.
Re: Unsurprisingly, The Mario Galaxy Movie Is Already 2026's Biggest Box Office Hit
7, 13, and 16 year olds had fun so I was happy with it. We saw it at the drive-in w chili dogs and chips etc, so that helped.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Pokémon Champions
@Interneto I only meant that exactly as I said it. Reactions will be interesting. I look forward to the discussions.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Pokémon Champions
@AlanShore it will be interesting to see how Nintendo fans and jilted Pokémon fans feel when Beast of Reincarnation releases.

Re: The Rogue Prince Of Persia Physical Release Now Available On Switch 1 & 2
I tried this, but it was like an ugly Dead Cells DLC.
Re: Looks Like 'Elden Ring' Will Be A Pricey Game-Key Card Release On Switch 2
Switch 2 sucks so hard, lol.
Re: ICYMI: Next Triple-i Initiative Showcase Promises Reveals For Castlevania: Belmont's Curse & More
@Tempestryke it is the Dead Cells devs.
Re: ICYMI: Next Triple-i Initiative Showcase Promises Reveals For Castlevania: Belmont's Curse & More
Indie publishers like Konami and Gearbox? Okay, lol.
Re: Bleak Survival City-Builder 'Frostpunk' Is Finally Coming To The Switch
This looks miserable to me.
Re: Street Fighter 6's Next DLC Fighter Joins The Battle In "Late Spring" 2026
@LostWithoutYou yeah I dropped out back when they thought a dude covered in lube was akin to Blanka tonally, I guess. It's gotten a bit cringe.
Re: Street Fighter 6's Next DLC Fighter Joins The Battle In "Late Spring" 2026
I really do not understand how this series got so goofy, but I find it embarrassing.
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd April (North America)
I picked up Micro Mages Maker. Check out Micro Mages, if you haven't. Very charming little platformer.

Can't wait to see what they hype up then completely underbake next.

Are you 15???
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
I am not expecting any more than a fun time with the kids. Like I said before, I will most likely be watching their reactions more than the movie.
Re: Classic Shmup 'Truxton' Returns After Nearly 35 Years On Switch 2
The more shmups, the merrier. Earthion is dope also, and brings back the Mega Drive feels.
Re: So, Will you Be Watching The Super Mario Galaxy Movie?
I am going with the kids. I will probably be watching the youngest react more than the actual movie, lol.
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)
Crimson Desert, Ball X Pit, and Splintered Fate.

Edit: welp, just got the mail and turns out I lied to everyone.

Way underrated, and The Cursed Crew is 10/10 legendary.

Ball X Pit, TMNT: Splintered Fate, and maybe AC Syndicate.

Re: Yoshi And The Mysterious Book Estimated File Size And Price Seemingly Revealed
@Anti-Matter Is your profile pic Eddie Eagle, the NRA cartoon that teaches kids gun safety?
Re: Yoshi And The Mysterious Book Estimated File Size And Price Seemingly Revealed
Might be cool for the seven year old, but afaic there was Yoshi's Island, and then a bunch of meh from this series.
Re: Nightdive's 'SiN Reloaded' Remaster Is Heading To Switch 1 & 2 This Year
It's Nightdive so ofc I will probably buy three copies.
Re: Talking Point: Are You Tired Of The Talking Flower Yet?
I have only seen the flower in Wonder, so no.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (7th March)
I started Atomic Heart but I am not sure I will stick with it. The tone is a little ehhhh, embarrassing?
Re: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Gets Yet Another New Poster, And It's Jam-Packed With Details
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.
Re: The New Castlevania Title "Is Not A Roguelike Or Roguelite Game"
Nice! If it's a mode I am down though.
Re: Legacy Of Kain: Defiance Remastered Switch Versions Hit With Last-Minute Delay
I know it is silly, but I will be really pleased to have the entire series on carts. Blood Omen is Evercade but still, neat.
Re: Poll: 20 Years On, Does Your DS Lite Still Have Charge?
