Well that went from a good idea to a dumb idea real quick.

I don't even care about this game, really, but M2 puts so much effort into their releases I find myself wanting to pay for their stuff simply so they'll have reason to continue making things that might be of interest to me.

I don't know. It doesn't look like there's much to the gameplay to me. I'm concerned it will get old fast.

Know what's funny, I hated both Monster Hunter and Dark Souls but really enjoyed Dragons Dogma back on my 360.

XIII had great graphics, a fairly interesting story but pretty forgettable gameplay, partly due to pretty lame level design. These guys will have to step up their game.

@Sabrewing I agree, I saw it and thought if it was only the combat portion of the game then it isn't worth it. 3 gets flak but that wasn't because of a Gameplay issue. it simply didn't have the story elements anymore. Realistically 2 was a one and done sort of thing.

@Sabrewing The original Star Control was only ship battles. Star Control II is what introduced all of the exploration and RPG mechanics.

I was really excited for this game but I don’t like how it feels at all. There’s no weight to your mech and simultaneously you doesn’t feel swift either. You literally feel like a floating reticle and that’s it.

I do not like this art style at all.

Anybody want to speculate the HUGE announcement along with the game is that Travis is a Smash Bros Ultimate DLC character?

Put them all on there! Shmup machine, ahoy!

@HobbitGamer Like give it up so we can actually get the good designs from Macross...

@sandman89 Yeah man, I just bought one of the Hori L-controllers with the proper D-Pads. Suddenly every fighting game became incredibly more fun in handheld mode. A straight up official Nintendo D-Pad would be ideal for me.

I only played the first one, didn't know there was a second. But I really enjoyed the first and would buy another if they made it.

I still don't understand the idea Oddjob was a cheat. His head was lined up with your guns without you having to adjust up or down. He was the easiest character to headshot in the entire effing game.

Unfortunately the placement of the D-Pad makes the primary reason most of us would want it still not useful, fighting games on the go.

My problem was not that I wanted to play Sonic on a D-pad, my problem is next to an arcade stick the D-Pad is the best way to play Street Fighter or Samurai Showdown.

I'm all about the Kawamori designs... hence my Avatar.

@Santoria The key here being you're in one of the most congested cities. I, on the other hand, haven't seen a single copy in New Mexico yet.

By "Under Warranty" they mean a Switch that isn't a year old yet, right? Because I have a US release Switch and the corner has now cracked. Does that mean I have to pay for it?

Yup, big crack by the lower left hand screw. Never dropped, only carried in a hardened case.

Kind of a Blast Corps vibe, kind of.

Hey, Panic Button puts in the freaking work. I'll buy any thing they want to port just to thank them for doing it right.

Really? That toy is horribly articulated for a Figuarts release.

I've been stumping for Simon's inclusion since the Wii days. I hope that one is true. Simon isn't an odd pick at all. He's probably one of the most obvious picks since Nintendo has been adding in franchises outside of their own. Castlevania 1 and 2 on the NES, Super Castlevania IV on the SNES. Simon is Nintendo.

Do not like art-style or animation.

@Daftbomb What does the tablet include?

I want them to work some magic, get the license, and re-release the old Spider-Man beat-em-up.

Come on Nintendo, pull a Majora's Mask quickie and knock a game out with these designs.

What a stupid idea.

Video game development is the real grinder.

It may not look as good as the other versions but it looks damn good for something I can carry around with me.

@Ernest_The_Crab Whatever bro. It isn't made by Nintendo and it's gimped. Not what I asked for.

@Ernest_The_Crab Why do I care about that fact?

This didn't answer my prayer. I wanted an official Controller just with a D-Pad. Not a gimped third party thing.

@BensonUii This. SOLD!

Not offended by it, just not originally a video game character. Simon Belmont would be a much better idea though.

I don't know anything about Video System games.

To be honest I never noticed. The only thing that bothers me is a hardware issue because the shoulder buttons aren't analog so the pinball feels wrong but that isn't Zen's fault.

Dialed back exploration elements is a real disappointment. The other games, save for some later stage bosses, were too easy and the exploration kept it interesting.

Also, only 30fps? The demo felt sluggish and awful. I was hoping the full release would have a bump.

Not buying.

I remember being continuously mocked for this sentiment a year ago...

@lemonjellydude I was going to say, new FF Tactics.

@TheMadPolarBear The entire country is in Arrested Development, huh?

Short answer, no. Long, I don't have time to list but a few I can think of: Too much grinding, for everything. No real sense of direction. Too many repeat events. How many times do I have to keep racing those stupid Koopas? Most worlds weren't constructed to take advantage of Mario's vertical abilities and were largely flat except for bonus levels through various doors and they weren't very long or very interesting. Final few "Challenge" levels were just reuses of previous levels designed to be done with cappy but without him, and not that fun. At least the brutal challenge levels in Sunshine when you were stripped of F.L.O.O.D. were wholly new and designed to test your platforming mettle.

I somehow never saw this on the WiiU. I'm game for a Switch version.

Especially surprising given what a garbage port it was.

@Captain_Gonru I like the Combo pack idea best...

@KeeperBvK Yes, it plays better in every way. the only people who love Streets of Rage 2 were kids who only owned a Genesis and had to convince themselves it was better. It was not, it doesn't have as good play control even if the mechanics are more complex and the settings/characters are boring.

This game is as close as it gets to remaking the original Legend of Zelda and that game was capable of handling dungeons as well. If not the base game this last DLC release was a prine time to include some dungeons and they didn't do it.

@OorWullie Actually these were not the best in their genre. Turtles In Time and the Aliens vs Predator Arcade games had far more broad play mechanics. There was even some street fighter style fighting mechanics in AvP.

I don't understand what the "does not look good" crowd is looking at.
