I like a good story. I don’t think they need it but I appreciate them putting the effort. Even if it’s basic if they have strong and fun characters they can carry it well enough, I still love characters like Midna, Groose, Linebeck, etc. BOTW story is mostly in the background but I really do like it, the way you can tell what is happening simply from the state of world. And when they actually go the extra mile you get really good stuff like Link’s Awakening which is a top 3 Zelda game.

I haven't seen the movie yet, so none of this might not mean anything, but it's sounding like a lot of issues I had with the first movie wasn't really addressed in the sequel. I remember the movie feeling like it was moving really quickly with no time to breath, but also had little in the way of actual substance, relying heavily on references, easter eggs and nostalgia even more than the last movie(which seems to be an even bigger issue than last time. I love Star Fox but I'm scratching my head why Fox is here of all places). They're fun popcorn flicks you turn your brain off and enjoy, there's nothing wrong with that. I agree that critics shouldn't be the be-all-end-all(that one comment about the movie being worse than AI was just gross), but he comes across as awfully defensive, I can see why this movie not resonating with many people

I know there's the narrative that Miyamoto is against story in games but when you see how he handles movies and how lacking they are in the story department, they kind of add more weight to it, and unlike games movies don't have much to fall back on if the story falls flat

If it shows up it’ll be a late port like Shadows

I got this game at launch and gave up after the Gyrowing section

Tried two years ago because I wanted to give another and really wanted to like it. I actually beat it but after I finished Andross I’m pretty sure I ended up hating it more. Nintendo’s made worse games but it’s easily one of their most disappointing games for me.

I’m really not interested in seeing it come back. It was already disappointing when they announced it would be a retelling of 64 after they just remade the same game on 3DS. Even if they fixed all the problems with the controls all your left with is a weaker retread of 64, it's just too derivative for me to care, why would I play Zero when I could play 64 instead?. If they rerelease it alongside a brand new game, fine, but otherwise I won’t bother

Just about anything else except “literally Star Fox 64 with our new gimmick no one wants to use”. I’m so tired of waiting years(decades!) for a new game only for it to regurgitate the same crap over and over again. I’m tired of the same cast going through the same story, the same bosses, similar set pieces, the same damn dialogue and the same damn one-liners. I’ve already played this game, multiple times. Move on. The new game can stick the same formula as SF64, they could try Adventures again, or even Command, they could even get stupid and make something off-base like a beat-em up, kart racer or high school dating sim. I’m open to literally almost anything. Hell I’m not exactly pining for an open world game, but at this point I’d be more interested in that than another retelling of SF64. Just give me new s***

NA make the game look much more exciting, though I like that the JP cover features more of the characters

It was never really believable and something they never intended but the fact the internet really took it seriously is kind of annoying

Matt Piscitella is already most of this is bull

Really should point out the stock issues for Pokopia in the header. Really making it sound like it’s not doing well which is a bit disingenuous

I enjoyed playing this on the PS4, but I never finished it. I'll probably try to rectify that now

Wish this got a Switch 2 update though, I dunno why Namco decided to pass on that, especially with them making a S2 enhanced Digimon, they clearly have the resources for it

RE2-4 remake on Switch 2 when?

I hate it when I'm right

Seen some people say it’s a new SAO game, which underwhelming enough for me to believe it

There needs to be a huge asterisk to the Switch 2 release given the Generation Pack has its own spot here

Quality of the games seem a bit scattershot. That said, while X-Men is the obvious highlight and headliner, Captain America and the Avengers is also a fun time imo, and the two Spider-Man games are better than expected despite being LJN games

Kinda wish they got the Capcom and Sega games in there too though

Happy it looks better than the trailer they showed at the PS, I’ll probably wait for a price drop though, $60 is really steep for me

I feel generally speaking most devs tend to greatly dislike leakers. Maybe it’s a bit much, maybe he’s exaggerating, but I think his feelings are warranted

@EarthboundBenjy “I don’t like thing, therefore it’s a scam”

This was always my favorite Pokemon game so I’ll probably get LG at some point though $20 is a bit steep

A Mario Sports spin-off has no business being a $70 game, and the sales reflect it. Even considering it's a packed month, that's a massive drop from ACES. I hope Nintendo uses these numbers as a way to rethink their pricing strategy because not every game they make needs to be a full priced release, save the $70 for your mainline Marios, Zeldas, Fire Emblems, etc, give smaller or more niche games a lower price so they can at least have a chance

After beating VII and Remake I’ve been on a bit of a Final Fantasy kick lately. Currently playing VIII and will probably go through IX again after. Though I’ve also been playing MGS2 and 3 after the Switch 2 patch got them running better so I can finally play them the way they’re supposed to run

Dammit Otacon! Get a grip!

Article should be updated that the recent update for the Master Collection Vol. 1 updates the games to run at 60fps on Switch 2

@AG_Awesome
I have good news for you!

Really gonna be interesting to see how they address the "PS3 Blu Ray" reference

Also I guess it's time to start bugging them about Metal Gear Rising now

Sonic Racing games unfortunately are games I don’t think can get away with full-price releases + paid DLC, especially when a) a lot of them are random Nickelodeon characters and b) they don’t have voice acting or interactions with everyone(and this goes for all DLC characters), it makes them feel really cheap and off, like if you’re going through the trouble of adding SpongeBob at least give the novelty of hearing talk trash to Shadow. I like SpongeBob and all, but I can’t help but look at their inclusion with apathy(not as bad as Danica Patrick or Christiano Ronaldo in MOTW, but still with confusion), especially with Mega Man and PAC-man, who just makes me want to see Smash Kart but from Sonic’s side. Throw me Cloud Strife or Solid Snake, I’d be all over it.

Of course releasing near Mario Kart didn’t help either. People can air out their grievances over the price but it’s still a solid Mario Kart release

Devs don't owe anyone anything and are allowed to block whoever they want, especially have gamers have shown to be some of the biggest crybabies on the internet. It's really not worth the hassle to interact with these kinds of people on social media.

The fact that people were taken for a ride over the Bayonetta VA debacle, relentlessly harassed the guy over a lie, and instead of admitting they f-ed up, they instead tried to justify their harassment shows people just want anger and outrage, and it's being proven on this very comment section

just give me a collection of the first 9 games(Cod 1-3, MW 1-3, W@W, BO 1 and 2). Make a bundle of 3 each, I don't care how, just put them there. Bonus points if you're nice enough to throw UO or BRO as freebies

I don't care much for the newer stuff(barring IW's campaign)

I’m biased for Final Fight’s cover, but damn if Captain Commando isn’t enticing

I’m willing a new Star Fox game into existence, but for the love of god no more remakes of 64. Let the damn game go

Anyone focusing purely on sales and competition is missing the big picture entirely. This news, these numbers, aren't good for anyone . People aren't going to be buying luxury goods when we're on the cusp of a recession, topped with the chip shortage with AI data centers gobbling it all up and companies like Nvidia focusing solely on that market, and focusing less on making consumer grade parts available, everything is going to get more expensive, which means a lot people having to decide paying food/rent or a damn video game

I’d flip MVC and Cosmic Invasion, but only because I’m biased for MVC

Made watching the thing worth it

Sales must be really bad then, at least for a CoD.

Really just take a break every other year at least. It’s amazing that they never learned their lesson from MWIII

I think he made the right call given Leon and Claire are equally as iconic

I'd give it a 7 or an 8 if I'm feeling generous. Plenty of good games, especially with DKB and MKW, though I don't think both crossgen and exclusives are as strong as Switch 1's first year. I do think the 3rd party support has been a lot more promising though

They made the right call by delaying it

Already have some store credit ready to buy this when I come back from work

Unfortunately this was one of those debacles where people reacted through emotions rather than logic and she was caught in the crossfire. While I agree VAs are treated very poorly and deserve better, Helena Taylor’s statements wasn’t adding up and people should have thought about it more.

Hale didn’t deserve any of the vitriol she got and I’m glad she’s still open to returning

I want to be excited for this but it gives off a lot of MN9 energy. Feels like it wants to be SF64 in all the most superficial ways. Like everything, familiar worlds, character archetypes, the similar designs, even the dialogue feels the same. It’s just all the same tropes

Feels less like a homage and more like a cheap copy

Sounds like if you liked BFBB and Cosmic Shake you’ll like it. I’m fine with that

I’m more surprised it took them this long to port it. Got to get as much traction as they can from that “Remastered” project I guess

@kal_el_07241
There’s something really funny about boycotting Nintendo over GKC and then say you’re going to Xbox for physical when they’ve been having nothing on their discs for the longest time and pushing hard for digital only

Enthusiast circles like here won’t like it but the general audiences aren’t going to care

Just getting this out now, don’t go expecting a buying spree of huge publishers, devs and IP from Nintendo like we saw with MS. Chances are this will just be acquiring and investing in studios they already have good relationships with like we saw with Next Level Games. On a related note, it’d be a good idea to invest in more NA/EU developers imo

They’re making HD console games under the same restrictions and guidelines of a cheaper handheld experience. While Pokemon has always been a huge money maker, they were never the most demanding games, but this was fine back then because they still looked great for the hardware. But once they jumped from 3DS to Switch these issues really start to show, especially when you’re being compared to far more demanding games like BOTW or Xenoblade, and especially when you’re demanding premium prices for them.

Also the games have gotten considerably easier, which really don’t think is a bad thing honestly, these games are made for kids. And before anyone gets offended by that, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. Sometimes people just want easy games. And really, and I gotta be careful with how I say this, but the series hasn’t really grown with the audience, especially compared to Digimon, and I think that’s fine. I think some people really need to accept that they might have grown out of the franchise

I mean I won’t say no to Halo but all I want is Rare Replay. Throw in the DK games, SFA, and I’ll be there day one

Hell give me the classic CoD games, I don’t care about the new stuff but I would love Big Red One, Black Ops, the original MW trilogy, CoD 3 on modern platforms too

@Greenspark
Bruh why are you replying en mass to a bunch of 2 week old posts. Are you really taking it that personally?

It’s more of a gaming pc handheld with Xbox branding than an Xbox Handheld. It even uses Windows 11 rather than something based on Xbox. If they made an actual Xbox Handheld that linked to my Xbox/360/One library it might’ve actually been worth something. I’d love a way to natively play Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, CoD3, etc, on the go. But as is, there are better and cheaper options like the Steam Deck

Better late than never I guess, but I've already imported these
@Serpenterror
Money. But having IX itself for $40 is insane as that's double the price of the digital release.....a release that frequently goes on sale
