@HotGoomba Here is the thing with the Age of Calamity. Isn't it the same game as Scramble in terms of enemy difficulty? I notice that enemies just stand there while your character takes out 20 in one blow. Do these games offer a challenge in terms of being rushed by grunts or something? How are the bosses in terms of difficulty?
@AlienX As a long time Archie Sonic fan, the IDW is superb. The art style is consistent, characters like Amy are more fleshed out (she might be taking more of a Sally role), and the fights are epic (finally see a good fight between Sonic and Metal Neo Sonic). The themes still have mature undertones as well (the comic has not been babified). We also have a lot of the same writers from the final Archie run.
@bluemujika Same here, Sonic is in so I can`t complain. Also MineCraft does represent how games usually start off as tile or block layouts. He also represents Indie games.
@JayJ I think that's X-Box's plan. Angry Joe talked about how X-Box is gaining ground by selling software they own to other consoles selectively. You can play their games on a toaster as long as you pay them for it. I wonder how it will work out in the end.
@TheGamerKing It might be an advantage over Sony that Microsoft would take. However, if Microsoft and Nintendo are left, then yeah, Microsoft would probably try to take Nintendo down.
I just love how X-Box came up from the brink of going away to becoming relevant. Microsoft must really want to stay in the business game. If Microsoft stays friendly with Nintendo then I believe that is the winning move. That commercial with both of them together is still great!
@Caryslan Definitely a possibility. Rare would have created something really awesome by now if it wasn't true. Nintendo is careful in what they want to make. I think F-Zero has not had a new game because Nintendo truly is not sure how to improve on the Gamecube one. They truly do pick and choose.
Let us hope we see more Doom Slayer on Nintendo though. His pairing with Isabella is really cute.
@TG16_IS_BAE I played each of them on the Virtual Console. I found out that a majority of the levels and bosses are reused in each game. 2 is probably the most refined on the NES. 3 has a nice feel but it just ramps up the difficulties with limited continues.
@KoopaTheGamer I don't know about anyone else but KH2 still feels more dramatic than KH3. The third game definitely improved on the battle system but it just didn't feel like a great finisher for this story arc.
@Indielink The game looks very decent. Based on what I have watched I do have a few complaints.
a. Only one Aku battle (even though he was fought multiple times in different scenarios). Aku does not even shapeshift.
b. Missing some key adversaries: blind arrow men, Shadow Ninja, the seven basket robots, Evil Jack, that scary demon that haunted a family, the Gate Keeper, the Egyptian Jackals.
@Kalmaro The final season is awesome. It is really serious for the first four-six episodes. The final few have elements of light hearted Cartoon Network fun. Then you have the finale which might make your jaw drop. Bonus: Try to find the reference to Dexter's Laboratory in one of the episodes.
@bozz You never know. Jump Force was deemed impossible on Switch and yet it is coming to Switch. Also, Blood Stained creators admitted to being surprised with the Switch reception, which shows the developers did not see Switch as a priority. It is really up to the developers and how much work they want to put in a game.
I like the digital idea that you can't really be sold out of it. However, the downside is it might disappear and never be put out again. As for cheapness, is depends. I have seen physical games go on sale more than digital, but then I have seen digital games far more on sale than the physical ones.
I would be more into the battle royale mode if there was a good single player story mode. I am interested to see how OverWatch 2 does it. Splatoon 2 was decent.
Either that or the ability to set up bots like in the TimeSplitter series. If there was that mode then I really don't need a story, I can create my own scenarios.
Nintendo just needs to make a stronger engine for the sequel and make sure the 3rd party games are coming while also coming up with a few new 1st party ones.

Re: Persona 5 Scramble Localisation Not Mentioned In Koei Tecmo's Latest Report
@link3710 Yup, that is all I see. Thanks for the heads up. Now I kind of regret not trying out the Gundam Warrior games (at least one of them).

Re: Brunswick Corporation Elects Reggie Fils-Aimé To Board Of Directors
How does he juggle all of those jobs? Does he not have to research and look at data before making decisions for all of those companies?
Re: IDW Releasing Sonic The Hedgehog Hardcover Comic Collection In 2021
@Doktor-Mandrake Here something that might get you hooked. Michael Jackson as a stylized Platypus that can teleport. Check it out.

Re: Random: Here's How Microsoft's Phil Spencer Reacted To Minecraft Steve's Smash Bros. Meat
Very professional reaction, "I assume it will be fixed."
If this was Family Guy sketch, then all of the Microsoft staff would probably be represented as that victory pose.
Re: Warner Bros. Was Worried Mortal Kombat 11 Wouldn't Be "Nintendo-Friendly"
Still waiting for Injustice 2 just for the TMNT and Hellboy.
Also, it would have been hilarious if they stretched out the Mileena joke of her never coming in to the game.
Re: Final Fantasy IX Is Getting A Physical Release On Nintendo Switch
9 is beautiful. 10 is always my favorite but definitely check out 9.
Re: Bomberman, Travis Touchdown, Creeper And More Join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate As Mii Fighter Costumes
@MagicEmperor How is that game? I have seen a PS2 version and it is very slow paced.
Re: Bomberman, Travis Touchdown, Creeper And More Join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate As Mii Fighter Costumes
@vanYth I checked out the PS2 version and it seems very slow paced. I honestly thought he was a DragonQuest costume at first in the Wii U version.
Re: Bomberman, Travis Touchdown, Creeper And More Join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate As Mii Fighter Costumes
@Paraka Don't forget Bayonetta and Snake. They both have risky content in their franchise when compared to Nintendo's standards. It is a possibility.
Re: Bomberman, Travis Touchdown, Creeper And More Join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate As Mii Fighter Costumes
@EmirParkreiner If Travis is not actually a character then that means there is hope for another edgy character: Ryu Hyabusha, Master Chief, Doom Guy.
Re: Bomberman, Travis Touchdown, Creeper And More Join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate As Mii Fighter Costumes
@HotGoomba Cup half full.

Re: Random: Travis Touchdown For Smash? That's A Big "No Comment" From Suda51
I really want Ryu Hyabusha, but I am not going to complain if I see Travis strutting down the battlefield.
Re: Nintendo Needs Someone To Fill A Spokesperson Role In Japan
@RPGamer Good luck. Sponsor for the both of us. 😭

@RPGamer Just use Google Translate.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe And Super Mario Party Double Pack Appears In The US
I feel that a bundle like this should have a savings of up to $20. The only convenience is that they are in one place.
Re: Dataminer Shares New Details About The Emulation In Super Mario 3D All-Stars
@dewokkel I know that 2 has the best feel but 3 had some comedic moments and gave it a style.
Re: Random: Can You Hear That? Sounds Like Super Mario Galaxy 2 Music In 3D All-Stars
Imagine if an unlockable or DLC was not Galaxy 2 but Mario in the style of Sonic the Hedgehog. With long limbs and everything.

Re: Rumour: A New Ninja Gaiden Trilogy Could Be Coming To Switch Next Year
I love how Team Ninja might release these demanding games while Square Enix find porting over Ps2 Kingdom Heart games as difficult.

Re: Feature: Kingdom Hearts: Melody Of Memories Directors On Retelling The Series' Story And Working With Disney
@Sam_Loser2 This is exactly equivalent to a recap episode of a show but done in a musical style. Ugh.
Re: Warner Bros Interactive Is Too Valuable To Sell, Says Parent Company AT&T
@DrDaisy This was embarrasing for ATa&T to realize now that WB is valuable.
Re: It's Official, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Has Been Delayed Until Spring 2021
Sigh......That means we have to wait even longer for the next DC or Marve LEGO game!!!!!!!
However, I do have to admit that I love how they keep improving. I hope that they keep on going.
Re: Round Up: All The Games From The Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase - August 2020

Re: Another Sega Double Pack For Nintendo Switch Has Been Spotted Online
@PcTV I am expecting it to be 20 bucks now and 10 bucks on Black Friday.
Re: Another Sega Double Pack For Nintendo Switch Has Been Spotted Online
@Gridatttack Yeah, this is probably the only way I would play Sonic Forces. Also, we do get a playable Sonic in Monkey Ball right?

Re: Devil May Cry's Dante Returns As DLC In The Shin Megami Tensei III Remaster
