Clickbait again. There's no reason to intentionally leave out the "while they fix it" part from the headline, apart to play of peoples' sensationalism.

@Nincompoop So, two minutes after you beat it?

Decent game while it lasted, but woefully short. I spread it out over a few hours one weekend and had a distinctly "...that's it?" impression. I get that a lot of indie games go for quality over length, but there was just something about the overt repetition and simplicity of CQ that just didn't work for me.

I'd buy DLC to tone down the vaseline smear and depth-of-field. One rinky-dink vignetting toggle isn't what I'd expected when they promised "options to tone down the graphical effects" after the first demo.

@Dog Mmmm, no. It's not "selfish", it's my opinion that I'm tired of hearing about it. It's a silly fighting game that people go WAY overboard heaping praise on, and the Internet could use less of it.

That's fine. SSB is a supremely overrated series anyway; it'll be nice to not hear people drooling over how it's the best thing in the world.

@Heavyarms55 The first frame of the video says "From the creators of Disgaea"...

@gcunit It's not a "bizarre choice" at all. The visual style and audio are both very anime-centric: the music would sound right at home in any number of anime episodes, so I'd say it fits right in with the aesthetic.

Any chance you can report on the ability to disable/minimize the "unique" graphical effects? (Depth-of-field, vaseline smearing, vignetting, etc.) The devs indicated there'd be some level of control over that but I haven't seen any mentions of it since that vague promise.

Yuck, there's a time limit to each stage (bottom of the screen)?

Nevermind the bricking potential... $120 or even $85 is WAY too much for a battery.

I don't mind pixel graphics, but the random hodge-podge of high-res mixed with low-res mixed with pixelated mixed with sharp and clear is an absolute deal-breaker. Make up your mind about what you want to be, game.

I can't not see "Dead Eels" in the logo.

"Six very different and long worlds" feels like it's trying to hard too push that point.

"Launch" a ball? Is that supposed to be "pitch"?

Why are you further promoting rumors as fact and unreliable sources as truth, NintendoLife?

Who. Freaking. Cares.

In terms of content... Is this a linear game in that once you beat it, that's it? Or is there anything like randomized missions that you can keep playing infinitely?

I'm curious how "sometime in the future" equates to "on the horizon"... I interpret the former as eventually but not necessarily any time soon, whereas the latter implies it's closer to release. Feels clickbait-y to me.

@TheMudHutDweller Hate to burst your bubble...

http://grammarist.com/usage/autumn-fall/

"Some who consider British English the only true English regard fall as an American barbarism, but this attitude is not well founded. Fall is in fact an old term for the season, originating in English in the 16th century or earlier. It was originally short for fall of the year or fall of the leaf, but it commonly took the one-word form by the 17th century, long before the development of American English. So while the term is now widely used in the U.S., it is not exclusively American, nor is it American in origin."

WHAT??? Be still my beating heart! =D

@XenoShaun Just curious... Why does it being "late" correlate to the price being correct or not? Isn't it still the same game in the end?

Having never played (or heard of this) before, I have to assume--based on the preview video above--that Delilah is actually a maniacal robot overlord whose sole purpose is tricking you into doing menial forest-based tasks while denying the existence of celebratory desserts. Right?

"The price tag of $189 for the Pro Controller and $199 for the Joy-Con may seem a lot at first,"

No, they still seem a lot at second, and third, and fourth, and... =D

@ZAK6 - Well of course you're going think this is "pointless", you admitted yourself you like the traditional joycon layout. This is (obviously?) for people who want an integrated dpad.

For everyone else saying things like "I don't need this, I never play handheld, what's the point?"-- Duh, you're obviously not the target audience. It's like saying "I don't get the point of automatic transmission, I only drive stick" because you're ignoring or dismissing the portion of population that DOES. C'mon, don't be so shortsighted and narrow-minded, people...

Requiring co-op without any sort of AI alternative is incredibly stupid.

In other breaking news, it is believed that water is wet. Scientists are working on confirmation.

Can you only wave your wand twice before having to go to bed at 9:30 in the morning?

@Hikingguy - So there's no redemption after an initial misstep, ever? That's an awfully limiting stance.

I'm glad to see them patching and look forward to hearing how it improves the experience. Good for them.

"Unpolished" was my overwhelming impression from the 3DS release. Looks like that hasn't changed this time around, unfortunately.

Who. Freaking. Cares.

Definitely getting a W&W feel, but not in a good way: the controls and actions appear way too floaty for my tastes these days.

That's not "completing a game" at all, that's manipulating it to cheat. C'mon, NintendoLife, you're better than this.

I'm really aching for a good Fantasy Life-type ARPG on the Switch, in terms of mechanics and gameplay.

What in the world is "rude health"?

Creepy weirdly-proportioned characters...

I love FFT, FFTA2, and Disgaea, but I'm not so excited about this. From what I remember of it on the 3DS (MSC2, I think?) it seemed very bare-bones and not at all polished.

I had info on the 3DS version bookmarked for a couple years and was very interested, but wondered whatever happened to a potential U.S. version. The jump to Switch makes sense; now hoping we'll still get it here...

@ 1:37 - "We have grew the tree" ? If the video represents an official translation, that's pretty bad.

Fun while it lasted, but (even as a cat lover ) it's utterly repetitive and ultimately very shallow once you have the "stun with magic then whack away" approach down to a rhythem. Based on my personal experience, I disagree that it's worth the price: I bought it the Friday it came out, played a couple hours each night, and was done by Sunday evening with no desire to 100% it. It just doesn't have enough meat to be worthwhile.

I'm visually tired of all these "black silhouettes"-type games. They all run together to me now; there's nothing interesting about it.

Is this only playable in portable mode (ie, touchscreen)? Is there any support for other/button controls?

Finally!

I can't get past the cheap flat/cutout-looking explosions.

"...feel like they get into a groove after a while - steal certain documents, take out or capture this enemy and so on. Thankfully, there are variations..."

Should that be "get into a rut" instead? 'Groove' would be a good thing (hit your groove, grooving, groovy, etc.)and it doesn't sound like that's what was intended.

Comments here make me wonder if people know you can filter out legendaries...

@River3636 Are you part of the NL staff? If yes, your behavior is abhorrent. If you're not, why do you care if I question a review or not? Seems like you're getting bent out of shape for no reason.

@River3636 I assume you mean "you're", but... huh? I don't follow whatever you're trying to say.

Check out the video here, and the lag/pause before and after battles is painfully apparent, absolutely moreso than other RPGs: https://youtu.be/fqq9ZVbAh1s?t=25s

Not a single mention of load times?

A few hands-on videos I saw earelier in the week displayed load times of about five seconds before AND after battles, during which the audio was totally silent, plus equally long loads when transitioning to the world map. If true in the retail release, surely that deserves a mention/caution somewhere?

Can someone elaborate on why people have assumed this means a buddy system? Was there more than just the movement models? Unless there's more data that points to buddies, it seems that it could just be leftovers from the camera minigame, for example.

Squeeeeeeeee!

> In fact, the narrator's voice is even recognisable from some of those past campaigns.

Which is unfortunate, because it doesn't come across well...
