I tried playing the demo again (to try the graphics mode), and was put in a queue. Had to wait 10 minutes just to be allowed to play. Imagine 'buying' the game to then be locked out as their servers are jammed? No thanks.
Honestly, this streaming thing is a joke and I hope it fails hard.
Jeez I must be getting old, but it's a 'hell no' from me. I tried it out of curiosity but absolutely not will I be paying for a game that could be shut down at any minute.
The game ran like crap for me. I am UK based and I guess our internet is bad. I pay for fibre, too.
Anyway, it's a worrying trend. I would much rather a 'watered down' native port. Imagine GTA 5 comes out on Switch but it's streamed, eugh. Screw that.
Nintendo, up your game. I hope the next Switch has a higher end SKU (think Xbox Series S / Series X) for better graphics. I'd pay £500 for a Switch that coud run games 60FPS 1080p.
Stop pandering. You would think (I know this isn't so much SNK), that fighting game fans would be used to this stuff with all the scantily clad ladies with jiggle physics. Nobody cares. When I see a company be this overly PC, I can't help but roll my eyes.
Saw this on the eShop coming soon section and as a fan of the show (and movies), I came away... how can I say this nicely... shall we just say I was unimpressed.
Can't say I know much about your new game unfortunately but kudos for your work on Die Hard Trilogy. A classic early 32bit gem, in my opinion. Especially the soundtrack. There's a really cool making-of on YouTube if anyone's interested in looking it up. Highly recommended.
This movie looks horrendous. I will not be paying to watch it. Why the heck did they think using the same director and actor was a good idea? Oh yeah, because somehow their spoopy Resident Evil movies actually made a ton of money. WTF is wrong with people?
What a great console the 3DS was/is. I will never forget StreetPass, playing way too much Monster Hunter 4, New Leaf... damn. I put so much time into my 3DS, arranging my hundreds of digital games into neat folders...
I don't think the exclusivity is anything to worry about. I've loved I&F's games so far but they've all been fairly simple 2D games. Do they have the resources, even with Microsoft's money, to pull off a 3D game like this? I guess we'll find out.
I've downloaded them onto my girlfriend's Switch as a neat little surprise for when she gets home from work. I got them too, of course. But I imagine we'll not get much use out of them.

Re: The Latest Update For Borderlands 2 On Nintendo Switch Is Crashing The Game
@Orpheus79V Thanks man! I planned on maybe trying this game one day. You just nabbed me some free DLC if I ever do decide to bite the bullet.
But yeah, be quick people as it's only free for a short amount of time.
Re: Image & Form Reminds Us That It's Making More SteamWorld Games
I wish they'd do another Tower Defense game now that they're a bit more established as devs.
I have enjoyed TD, Dig 1 & 2 and Heist. Not so interested in Quest, to be honest.
I'll check out whatever they do next, so long as it's not a card game (like Quest).
Re: With The DLC All Wrapped Up, Here Are The 234 Pokémon Still Unavailable In Sword And Shield
Pokemon sucks nowadays. I'll wait for them to make a great game like they used to. I'll be waiting a while, me thinks.
Re: Video: Check Out Some Great Sword Gameplay From Monster Hunter Rise
Looks a bit more traditional than World, which is a good thing.
The series started to lose its magic after the perfect 4U, (Generations was a bit meh, World was ruined by its online IMO)
But this is looking good. Cautiously optimistic.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #66 - Resident Evil 0
I went with Japan on this one. I think there's probably a tad too much extra legal fluff on it, but it's the best of the bunch, imo.
Re: Interview: "There Would Be No Control On Switch Without The Cloud," Says Remedy
Port your games natively, then we'll talk. If you can't get it to work, why not make something original for the platform instead?
Re: Turrican Flashback Blasts Its Way Onto Switch In December
I know it's probably the worst version but I had Universal Soldier as a kid, loved it. I'm up for a trip down memory lane.

Re: Poll: Pikmin 3 Deluxe Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
I would love to have it in my collection someday but I think having it on Wii U is enough for now...
I tried the demo, but I feel like this is another one of those games that benefits from the Wii U Game Pad.
I hope the game does well, though. Would hate for the series to be shelved.
Re: Retro's Hiring Spree Continues As It Recruits Veteran GTA Producer
Well, they surely do have quite the talented bunch at their disposal. I know that doesn't always equate to a great product, though.
I think with Nintendo breathing down their necks, though, it'll end up fine.
And, Metroid fans should just relax. At least you're getting a new game! cries for F-Zero
Re: 2020 Isn't All Bad, Because The Game Boy Is Getting A Brand-New RPG Called Dragonborne
I wonder about the logistics of something like this.
I'm assuming that this isn't endorsed by Nintendo, and wouldn't appear in a 'complete' gameboy library?
I wish them well, but I don't have quite enough disposable income to be this frivolous. Or enough time for RPGs, unfortunately.
Re: Aussie Gamers Are Locked Out Of Switch's Cloud-Based Future, It Seems
Dodged a bullet there.
Re: Random: Live-Streamed Opening Of $375,000 Box Of Pokémon Cards Goes Horribly Wrong
Oh jeez. Had to watch out of morbid curiosity. I guess the seller was banking on the buyer never opening...
Dude this has me questioning some of my sealed games, lol.

Saw this on the eShop coming soon section and as a fan of the show (and movies), I came away... how can I say this nicely... shall we just say I was unimpressed.
Re: Rumour: 'Switch Pro' Could Feature A Mini-LED Display, According To A New Report
I wish they'd get on with it now. My launch day Switch is starting to play up and I'm not buying another one with all the Pro rumours.
Re: Step Aside FIFA, Soccer Joins Hamster's Arcade Archives This Week
I'm sure EA are considering dropping support now that they don't have exclusive rights to sports games on the system.
Re: Random: Japan's Former PM Wasn't So Sure About Promoting Tokyo 2020 As Mario
10 minutes in a pipe was probably his hardest ever day at work.

Re: Here's Let’s Sing 2021's Full Tracklist, Brand New Legend Mode Also Detailed
So having no taste is a requirement to enjoy this game. Gotcha.
Re: Popular Twitch And TikTok Star Pokeprincxss Has Been Sued By Nintendo
Would she be allowed to sell them if they were original drawings of her favourite Pokemon?
Re: Video: The Monster Hunter Movie's First Official Trailer Is Here
This movie looks horrendous. I will not be paying to watch it. Why the heck did they think using the same director and actor was a good idea? Oh yeah, because somehow their spoopy Resident Evil movies actually made a ton of money. WTF is wrong with people?
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Re: Random: Atari Shows Off Concept Art For Its New Hotels, And It All Looks Insane
I think we should remain skeptical that anything will come from literally anything Atari announce.
Re: Mojang: Bringing Minecraft To Smash Is The Result Of An "Amazing Collaboration" With Nintendo
Whether you like Steve or any of the other characters, there's no denying it's the biggest crossover of its kind. Very impressive.
Re: Switch Owners Can Claim A Free Game This Weekend If They Already Own One Of These Titles
You mean I have to buy one of their other games first?
Re: Nintendo 3DS Production Has Officially Come To An End
What a great console the 3DS was/is. I will never forget StreetPass, playing way too much Monster Hunter 4, New Leaf... damn. I put so much time into my 3DS, arranging my hundreds of digital games into neat folders...
I'll never forget it.
Re: Scott Pilgrim VS. The World: The Game – Complete Edition Announced For Switch
The day has come for my 360 to finally retire.
Re: Dwerve Is A 'Zelda-Inspired' RPG With Tower-Defense Combat, And It Hopes To Launch On Switch
Need some good traditional tower defense games on Switch. Any recommendations?
Re: Review: Super Mario All-Stars - All That Glitters Isn't Necessarily Gold
Giving Super Mario All-Stars a 7/10, on a Nintendo fansite? Brave!
Re: Even At £100, Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit Doesn't Come With A Game Card
I imagine it's just a free download from the eShop. It would kill the toy's chance on the second hand market otherwise, surely.
Either way I don't have enough room for this, which is a shame. Looks kinda fun.
Re: This Battery-Free Game Boy Could Be The Future Of Portable Tech
Surprised by the amount of negative comments to this. I think it's pretty cool.
What if the solar panels were larger, and completely covering the device? Or maybe they could implement a wind-up feature on the back somehow, hah.
Re: Image & Form's New Game Is "Permanently Exclusive" To Xbox And Windows
I don't think the exclusivity is anything to worry about. I've loved I&F's games so far but they've all been fairly simple 2D games. Do they have the resources, even with Microsoft's money, to pull off a 3D game like this? I guess we'll find out.
Re: Random: Nintendo Changed The Name Of Pikmin 3's Scaly Custard In The West, Thank Goodness
In my UK copy it's called Crocodile Scrotum too.
Re: Rocket League's Tournaments Are Getting An Overhaul When The Game Goes Free-To-Play
It's going free-to-play? Surely that's going to upset everyone that paid for it?
Re: QubicGames Is Giving Away 6 "Awesome" Nintendo Switch Games For Free - Offer Ends Today
I've downloaded them onto my girlfriend's Switch as a neat little surprise for when she gets home from work. I got them too, of course. But I imagine we'll not get much use out of them.
Oh, and thanks for the heads up, guys!
Re: N64 Joins The Roster Of Old Nintendo Consoles Turned Into Fan-Made Switch Docks
N64 dock, Switch console and Gamecube controllers. If Frankenstein was a gamer.
Re: Pokémon GO Players Call For Niantic To Disclose Loot Box Odds
How is it legal to not disclose this sort of information? You mean they can change the odds at whim and nobody is to know?
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th August (Europe)
Yet another week with nothing to buy.
Re: Random: Head Of Xbox Appearing On Animal Crossing Talk Show Next Week
Cheap marketing. Xbox are going to have to do something more impressive than this if they want me to buy the Series X.
Re: Crysis Remastered On Switch Updated To Version 1.3.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I'll wait for a sale but looking forward to it trying it someday.
Re: Lots Of DOOM Games, Skyrim And Wolfenstein Are All 50% Off On Nintendo Switch (Europe)
Yes! Been waiting for them to do this again. Somehow missed it the first time! I'll be getting Doom 2, 3 and 64.
Re: Community: What Do You Think Of Lego Super Mario, Then?
To be frank, they look crap.
Re: Platinum Says It's Still Interested In Developing A Wonderful 101 Sequel
Did the first game do well? If yes, make one. If no, don't bother. Just don't do another crowd funding thing for the love of god.
Re: Overwatch Director Reminds Us Which Hero He Would Like To See In Smash Bros.
No thanks. What a waste of a character slot that'd be.
Re: Nintendo Provides Another Update About Its Development Schedule
I think Ninty are milking it a bit. They had no games left anyway.
Re: Random: Test Your Memory With This Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Concentration Challenge
That third question wasn't very nice.
Re: A Game-Breaking Paper Mario: The Origami King Bug Has Been Discovered
Pre order cancelled.
Re: Whimsical Tower-Defence Game Rock Of Ages 3 Rolls Onto Switch Today
@madmatt213 you'd have to be mad to play on Stadia. Oh, wait... Just kidding dude, hope you enjoy.
The game looks fun, though. I love Tower Defense but I'm not really seeing much of it in that trailer. I'll wait for reviews.
Re: It Looks Like That F-Zero Twitter Account Is Fake
I said in an earlier article that this F-Zero account only discredited the Mario one, imo. Nobody agreed with me, lol.
I'm calling fake on them both.
