This is purely for the purpose of selling the same game under a different name, so that naive kids can buy it and brag to others about how it is better than FIFA. No decision of EA, or any big company, is made without considering how will it benefit them financially.
No matter how many times they say characters that haven't originated from video games won't be in smash, they always put Goku somewhere on the list. It will probably be someone no one cared about but will say "actually, that is not bad" once they see the gameplay.
@justin233 I was... but then I saw the trailer for the newest one. Seems like they are putting an actual effort into this one, even though it is a glorified remake/remix.
Game and Wario is always a winner when friends gather around the TV, so I don't see it will be any different with this new entry in the franchise. It is a buy for me
Played the original and 3D version, both were great, but this looks like a reskin, and not a good one. I would stick with the original with much better artwork.
Do I agree with Nintendo when it comes to fan-made content? No. Do I understand them? Absolutely We are fully aware of Nintendo's practices, so putting so much effort into a game that will be removed sooner rather than later makes zero to no sense to me. Keep the gameplay, do a reskin, call it Prime 2D. Nintendo has no copyright over Metroidvania genre, only over characters and images. It is like me telling you that I will smack you right in the face if you take one step towards me, and you do it anyway. You will get slapped. Terrible analogy, but you get the point. I love fan made games, but more than that I love great gameplay, and it is a shame to see such project being left in the dust only because they used copyrighted characters.
@theabstractart While I don't agree with @Old-Red, the purpose of a demo is for you to try and decide if it is for you or not. Old-Red didn't like it, probably won't spend money on it, and I believe that is the job well done for the demo. I would hate to waste money on a game that I won't enjoy playing.
Looks quite charmless. And I have to agree with @Lord, box art is a total miss. I do like a good platformer, so here is hoping this gets good reviews, because nothing else will make me play this.
Save your money for eventual Switch Pro, or buy more games. This is a cash grab for people who are either impatient to wait for a more significant upgrade, or for people who haven't buy Switch yet.
I love it how people trash Kardashians for getting famous the way they did, but a guy collecting Pokemon cards is considered the king in the community xD Not to defend Kardashians, just to be clear. How will people now live when they lost respect for him?? Just another day in clown world
@SmaggTheSmug I really hope Scorpion is next, but I don't see Nintendo including such a violent franchise in the Smash roster. Then again, Bayonetta ain't a happy-go-lucky game either, so who knows.
@sleepinglion Funny thing is they actual ported the original G&W Zelda with Game & Watch Gallery 4, a GBA game that only had one screen, and they made it work. It is a pity they didn't include it in this newest release.
There is an easy solution to all of this... stop buying Pokemon cards. And if you are desperate enough to pay 10x the normal price, maybe you don't deserve to handle finances in your household.
1) Into the Breach 2) Verminest 3) Ignition (PC top-down racing game) 4) Gorogoa 5) Tetris DS Of course there are better game, but these 5 left a great impact on me and I dont see that list changing anytime soon.
I don't see Mario Kart getting any better than the latest entry in the franchise, so I am for DLC. I still haven't purchased Mario Kart 8 on Switch, already have it on Wii U and additional content is not enough for me to double dip. However, if they announce a new DLC exclusively for Switch (primarily new stages), I will buy it immediately.
Ugh, NintendoLife, what does this have to do with games? This is just a celebrity trying to promote... wait... what was that? This ISN'T a Brie Larson article?? Oh, then proceede.
"by all accounts, it's pretty good"
Trust me, it is not. I went with low expectations, looking for good fatalities and some great action overall.
The action is a choppy mess, the story makes no sense and it introduces elements that have nothing to do with MK mythology and that are laughable at best.
Characters are boring beyond belief.
I am not joking when I say it would be better to just watch the original from the 90s.
All that said, Kano is hilarious, so when it comes on youtube, check the Kano scenes compilation.

Re: Feature: So, Who Will Be The Final Fighter In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?

Re: Feature: Best WarioWare Microgames Ever
Grow Wario Grow, from the first game, where you have to get the mushroom before Mario in Mario Land setting, has to be my favorite for visuals alone.

And there is your answer.

There was a Netflix app on Wii U??

Re: Sakurai Says Smash Bros. Ultimate's Next DLC Fighter Really Will Be The Last One
I will be happy with any new character, as long as it is not from Fire Emblem xD

I don't see this being accidental.
Re: Retro: Remember The First Time Nintendo Did A Zelda Game & Watch?
@sleepinglion It is the last game to be unlocked so it might take some time to get there, but it is worth it

Re: Colourful Action-Adventure Awaits In Trifox, Launching On Switch In 2022
I dont see how this evokes old 3D platformers.
Looks kinda bland to be honest.
Re: Review: Pathway - Competent XCOM-Style Combat, But Is That Enough?
@SwitchVogel Ah, I see. Missed those in the tab.
Re: Review: Pathway - Competent XCOM-Style Combat, But Is That Enough?
Considering the comparisons with XCOM, I was surprised there is not a single image from the game that presents combat, in this article.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Switch 'Pro' Reveal Expected Before E3, Out This Year
Unless there are first-party exclusive games for this new iteration of Switch, I see no reason to upgrade.

Re: Talking Point: When Was The Last Time A Game Cracked Your Top Five?

I had high hopes for this service when it started, but this is laughable.
Re: Hardware Review: RetroN Sq - An Affordable Way To Play The Entire Game Boy Library On Your Big Screen TV

Was SNL ever funny? I mean, their peak was Chris Farley yelling about the van down by the river... That is not a high peak.
Re: Talking Point: Should Nintendo Do More DLC For Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Or Just Release Mario Kart 9 Already?
I don't see Mario Kart getting any better than the latest entry in the franchise, so I am for DLC.
