Re: Sonic Frontiers Leaks Surface Online Ahead Of Next Week's Launch

LordFunkalot

I really want this to do well, I’ve dabbled with sonic mainly in the 90s last one I really loved was adventure 2 (apart from mania). Never played any of the 3d ones after sonic heroes, I’m interested in this but have a feeling it’s going to be a mixed bag, if that’s the case I’ll still pick it up. But if it’s panned across the board I’ll sadly pass

Re: Rumour: Possible First Look At Mario's Movie Face Appears Online

I like it, it’s different and has its own style which is good. Can’t wait to see the movie trailer, genuinely excited for this. I remember seeing the original with Bob hoskins and my parents taking me when I was 10yr old lol, my cousin had the figures which had the jump boots on. Going to take my 9yr old daughter to see this one. Let’s be honest, like the original, even if it’s bad it will still be good lol

Re: Switch Online N64 Controllers Are Back In Stock Now (UK)

@BulkSlash Never got one last time but I’ve bought 2 as well for Goldeneye 007, and the other games. I was going to just buy one but thought 2 would be needed for that classic multiplayer action. Licence to kill, pistols only on Aztec.

Sadly at 40yrs old I’ll struggle to get 3 buddies round for an all night Goldeneye bender, but I’ll be able to get one over for an evening of sophisticated Goldeneye-ing, so 2s good lol

Re: Nintendo Announces Indie World Showcase For Tomorrow

Also how cool would it be if the command and conquer remake is announced? I was thinking it’s possible as blade runner is coming to switch and that’s Westwood too right? It’s not been announced for any of the console yet but was a big hit on consoles in the 90s 🤞🏻

Re: Video: Overwatch On Switch "Works" But It's Far From Perfect, According To Digital Foundry

I feel this port is getting short changed, it’s really really good. I picked up both this and The Witcher and I have to say this port in my opinion is much graphically clearer, cleaner and truer to the original. In my opinion the better of the 2 ports

I appreciate they are both different genres and The Witcher is open world, but overwatch seems to be getting put down and The Witcher over praised. I’m not knocking the Witcher port as it is great, it really is, just feel like it’s getting all the praise and overwatch getting none

Deserves much more appreciation than what it’s getting

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 17th)

I’ve ‘finished’ marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 in that I’ve finished the story a few times and unlocked all of the characters including the secret ones. I’ve got a handful of story levels to finish in Mario maker 2, I’ve went off crash tram racing as I’m a bit of a completionist. Considering buying fire emblem three houses but not sure

Re: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night Switch Fix Expected To Arrive Soon

LordFunkalot

Really wanted this, so glad I didn’t buy it tho. If they patch it and it’s confirmed that it runs ok I’ll probably pick it up. Just a shame that it’s in such a poor state on release. The switch is an established legitimate successful console and there’s no way games should be rushed out the door in such an unfinished state.

This needs to set a precedent for developers in general, if anything it’s embarrassing especially as the system it sold best for is also the most unpolished.

They should have made the hard call, done the right thing and said it’ll be another x months but it’s going to have some exclusive Nintendo stuff to make up for it

Re: Review: Mortal Kombat 11 - A Satisfying Dose Of Comic Hyper-Violence Despite Loot Balance Issues

I’m really on the fence about picking this up. I’ve just finished cuphead and want something new. I liked MK1 and 2 on the SNES but never really played it since. I like the idea of the story mode and that each character has their own arcade ending. That’s usually what I would play through anyway, I’m not one for online play nor cosmetic DLC. I’ve watched almost all the switch videos on YouTube and some make it look quite polished but others make it look blurry and washed out. Slightly confused re if you ‘need’ to be online to play the arcade (single player tower) or just to get the reward currency from it?
