Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library With Two More Titles

I hope they add the 2nd Klonoa on GBA later, since I haven't played that one yet.

Although, I have to say: I much preferred Klonoa 1 and 2 on PS1 and PS2 when compared to the first GBA entry. The level design was too blocky for my taste and there was a heavier focus on puzzles rather than tight platforming challenges. Also, the bosses with the zooming effects were something I expected to see in the main levels as well. Klonoa is at it's best when it has nice 2,5D effects in it's level design.

Funny to see Mega Man 10 mentioned in bad light the review, being actually a great game while Bloodstained CoftM2 is one of the few games ever I regret supporting by purchasing it, even at a massive discount. Game controls are very stiff, the levels are too long, bosses feel very awkward to try to beat with stiff controls like these... I could list more things I hate about this game but we'd be here all day. But hey, you can share the pain with a friend.

If you want an actually great co-op Castlevania experience, just play Castlevania Harmony of Despair (It was actually mentioned in the review!) It's SO MUCH BETTER!

Re: Review: Drag x Drive (Switch 2) - A Real Baller With Friends, But Is There Enough To Do?

I gotta give some credit for the very unique idea... but:

  • It wasn't very fun to play and control
  • Trying perform some of the advanced techniques was weird, sometimes they worked and sometimes they didn't even when it felt like I had done the motions the same way both times
  • Already got to try this for free thanks to playtest and since Nintendo doesn't offer refunds the way Steam does, I'm not dropping any money to this digital only 1st party title

Also: I want the robot wheelchairperson as a playable character for the next Super Smash Bros.

Re: Pokémon TCG Pocket Updates Card Art Following Plagiarism Allegations

Most artists I know started their careers by making fan art. In fact, many of the younger generation of Pokemon Company workers crew up with Pokemon media and made tons of fan art before getting a job from Pokemon Company.

This comment section has been wild. I'm glad there are still people here on NL that don't just blame fans for drawing fan art.

Re: Nintendo Announces 'Global Jam' Demo Event For Switch 2 Online Members

I'm glad they have a test version for this. Being a download only 1st party title propably means no physical version ever, no good discounts ever and I'm not gonna buy anything from Nintendo's digital stores unless I'm absolutely sure the product is great (like FAST Fusion, one of the best Switch 2 games so far) since you can't get refunds like on Steam.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price Has Been Confirmed

I expected this to be included with the system, like the excellent Astro's Playroom on PS5. Or if we go 14 years back on time, the free software that came with 3DS: Faceraiders and AR app (don't remember the name, but it was fun to play at launch).

Not cool. I advise everyone to buy some amazing indie game instead.

Re: Review: Croc: Legend Of The Gobbos (Switch) - A Solid, If Unspectacular Retro Adventure

Never owned the first one, only played it like once at my friends place. Still have the copy of Croc 2 on PS1. I liked that one less than any Spyro or Crash on the platform but it was still an interesting game to play trough with my brothers. Maybe they'll remaster that one too, or heck, make Croc 3. That was the game I was actually waiting for back in the day because kid me thought that every game in existence will surely get more sequels.
