@Tendogamerxxx There were tons of rumors this game had been done for a long time before they eventually released it. If that was indeed the case it makes sense they had a ton of time to work on the dlc before release which is the opposite of most games.
I went to toys r us 3 days before the sp launched to get my niece a present. They had a stack of sp’s in a glass case and they sold me one.I wasn’t in a rush to get one at launch but I said what the heck.It was a game changer to actually see my gba games
This game really is the boy who cried wolf. They already announced a release date twice before and then cancelled it.They really should have just shadow dropped it today cause it wouldn’t shock me if they cancel it a 3rd time.
I’ve gone mostly all digital with the switch cause I was noticing whenever I bought a physical release it was rarely ever the full game complete and I was having to download hefty chunks of the game,patches and updates. The convenience is also nice.
I put over 200 hours into last years game on the switch and I really enjoyed it. I look forward to getting this when it’s released. Odd choice for a cover athlete hardly a household name or even someone that’s on the cusp of being a breakout player. I would have went with someone like Julio Rodriguez.
I got a dreamcast in july 2000. That fall I was enamored by SOA,Shenmue and the 2k sports titles. Add to that with games of other systems like No Mercy & Tony Hawk 2 I was eating good in the gaming department.
I liked my experience with the game. Both me & my niece have picked up the game and we’ve been comparing treasures(she’s kicking my posterior so far). She’s a relatively new Dragon Quest fan & a new switch owner this and Pokemon Violet are her current obsessions.
@xshinox I updated, deleted and redownloaded the game several times over like a year period yet the game always crashed. It bummed me out as this kind of game is right up my alley but I’ll likely skip this one as I felt like I wasted my money on the first one.
@LikelySatan My point being that wrestling games haven’t been fun for close to 2 decades and I’ve played the crap out of those great ones so I’m looking for a new great game.
People complaining about the graphics is very on brand for these games back on the n64. I remember games like Nitro,Thunder,Warzone & Attitude getting better review scores than the all-time aki classics back in the day.
I don’t care about graphics I just hope its fun to play cause its been like 15 or 20 years since wrestling games were actually fun.
I got to play a couple hours yesterday and its everything I wanted as someone who spent a ton of time with the gba tactics orge. I like the art style as I feel HD-2D is being done to death.
@Teksetter Last december I upgraded to the oled and I gave my launch switch to my 11 year old nephew(who absolutely adores it).
My dad texted me this morning asking if he could borrow my switch for the weekend. I dropped it off like 4 hours ago. About a half hour ago he texted me that he loves the atari collection and tetris effect.He’s gonna try MLB The Show & NBA2k23 later when its done charging.He’s amazed by digital games as a dude that dropped out of gaming cold turkey in the early 80’s its like voodoo. He really likes the pro controller & the fixture s2 grip.
This is great cause every year I never know what to get him for christmas and he tells me not to waste my money as he doesn’t need anything. Well this year he’s getting a switch.
@Teksetter It still is kinda amazing to me that my dad was a gamer cause he stopped around when I was born but he had all the systems. Once he stopped playing we became a one console a generation family until the late 90’s. Seeing his reaction to this & need for speed hot pursuit remastered tonight makes me think I should buy him a switch for christmas.
My dad was a big gamer and loved him some Atari. He checked out of gaming to be an adult & stuff between the 5200 & 7800. I showed him this on my switch tonight and now he wants one.
The 1st video game system I ever played was an Atari 5200 in the early 80’s. My dad also had a 2600.Digital Eclipse is doing this collection so it’s definitely a day one purchase from me.
I was shocked how awful this game looks in portable mode on my oled. I didn’t find performance that bad but the last one looked way better on switch. My kart racers keep falling through the track for some reason.
Last year’s Genesis/Master System edition was my 1st Picross experience and I enjoyed it immensely. Its very relaxing I will definitely be picking this up.
I’ve been having a ton of fun with this as I do every year its on the switch. I never mess with the micro transaction stuff as I play franchise mode & now Jordan Challenge. I do wish MyEras made it on switch.
I liked the 2nd one and I like that they “borrowed” from Sonic Racing Transformed. Voice acting means I will muting this game as I find after a couple races hearing the same lines over & over gets annoying.
I’d love Advance Wars & Batman Arkham Collection shadow drops and Ofcourse a release date for the Zelda ports. Golden Sun or 1080 would be nice. But really I have no expectations cause I usually enjoy the directs more when I don’t.
First Advance Wars now this. 2 of my most hyped games of 2022. With my health recently I hope I’m around to see them when they eventually come out. If not hopefully everyone else enjoys them.
@ChromaticDracula lol I remember back in february of last year when Tony Hawk was announced for switch I was convinced it was out that day when no release date was mentioned in the article. I could blame it on being in between appointments on a busy day but in reality sometimes I just don’t read good.
Got over 100 hours it’s easily my most played switch game this year. I’ve loved baseball games since I was a little kid & its great having a good playing portable option with tons of content.

Re: River City Girls 2 Has Been Slightly Delayed In North America & Europe
North American Eshop has said December 15. I just hope this plays better on switch than the 1st one which constantly crashed for me.
