@Tendogamerxxx I think it may not be polished. The art style is blocky rather than a mix of 2D art and 3D. You seem to just fight in semi open worlds instead of getting a true open world.
@Air-Dog Ditto with the bots idea. That's is what makes stuff like Smash, Mario Kart, TimeSplitters, and Power Stone so much fun (especially when you are playing on your own for a bit).
@Ashunera84 I think it was more of the idea that Nintendo was quiet for sooo long and then they hit the audience with a quick announcement to only be about two games. I think people were expecting a year plan for Nintendo or something.
This was on the same level as the second Pokemon announcement. They need to say that, "Hey this announcement is for just two games." I think people will be more understanding than just be quiet for long time and then hit with a presentation.
@SuperWeird Yeah, I felt that could have been done. Maybe for at least four characters and then an alternate costume for each one (i.e. Dragon Quest). I wonder if the pandemic really halted that idea. On the other hand, since the Dragon Quest characters all have the Toriyama design, their faces look similar. In Arms everyday has a different expression. Yet, the Kooplings are all different and they are in.
@Anti-Matter I don't know. Ninjala does not have the rhythm base game that Kingdom Hearts is sooooooo well know for. That is why we are only getting a rhythm based Kingdom Hearts game. The best part of it.
I don't mind past generations, I mean now. How do you feel about the PS4? I feel that it can totally run that Ratchet and Clank game. It can even handle a new Horizons game.
Whoah! There are no releases for PS4 or Xbox One! The companies must be asking developers to push for the newer systems so that people can buy them. I wonder how many games will start doing that?
@Chlocean I would say it is a good template for a Sonic game. @Rarefan is correct in saying it is glitchy but that is because there is no refinement due to the many teams they had to put in.
@NEStalgia Right on. I have two suggestions for Sonic.
1. Go back to the Sonic Heroes template. That template translated the 2D to 3D idea so well. Just don't focus on so many teams or there will not be a chance to refine the system. Sonic Heroes is not perfect but it can be refined with less teams.
2. Open world like you said. Have Sonic be able to run around but not necessarily boost all the time to skip out on exploration. Maybe include Tails and Knuckles as playable characters to help Sonic fly and dig around. This would mean less Sonic games due to focus on creativity but that is better than having a lackluster Sonic game every year.
Sonic Forces was a straight line for 99% of the levels. My deal with SEGA is not the Twitter accounts but developers stepping back and saying, "Is this trash?" Didn't anyone step back from the Werehog stages and say, "This is slow and tedious. I want to run some more." (Or at the very least make the Werehog stages fun run levels with destructible stages). Didn't anyone step back from Sonic and the Secret Rings and Black Knight and say, "This is very constricting, let us kick out the on-the rail stages and make levels free with Sonic exploring his new powers." Is there reflection at all? I feel the developers becoming more serious on their work is more important.
@NEStalgia I agree. If SEGA went the total serious route then Sonic Mania would have been just a dream and Sonic Forces would have killed the franchise.
They can do this? What about the Sonic Advance series? Where are the Ninja Turtle compilations? Where is the Disney Afternoon games that the other systems got even though they were all NES titles?????? Is this Bizzarro world? I must be living in Bizzarro world.
I think the models are fine (maybe a bit more motion). I would have liked a gang like Team Rocket and Giovanni in there. Even someone like Guzma would have been great.
@Krockman I think this is the Ninetendo fanbase showing their rage. However, the pre-selected comments from past Nintendo online games has conditioned us to show our anger pleasantly.
I don't know. I might be interested if it was a Pachinko machine
I am joking. This is exciting and the cartoony nature is reminding me of Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, and Rocket Knight. I grew up with those awesome Konami games and still believe they got the ability to recreate those times again.
Wishes: Batman Arkham Games Metal Gear Solid Games Kingdom Hearts Games Some kind of TMNT Compilation games or at least the two arcades remastered or just downloadable. Remastered Chrono Trigger
I wish they re-shoot the scene in Dark Knight Rises with Bane getting taken out quickly from Catwoman. He deserved a more grand exit. This movie looks excellent though.
@Ambassador_Kong I hope they don't abandon their philosophy of a sturdy hardware. There was a Game Boy that went through a grenade and it still worked.
@Alpha008 Sorry, not this current battle system but the Color Splash Paper system. I just commented now how I would have loved the Color Splash system to be more Yu-Gi-Oh like with summons and trap cards. That would have been great.
@gokev13 I so wished for the card battle system to have a Yu-Gi-Oh like flair. Having trap cards and summoning old partners would have been fun. Instead, we got a time waster. I am hoping this battle system is awesome.
@Alpha008 Either have a good battle system or make it into a click and point adventure game. I love the writing as well but it is a pain having the story stop with a weak and time consuming battle system with no challenge.
@gokev13 It looks like it is the traditional system mixed with a system where you can take the enemies out all at once or risk having them crowd upon you. The timing system looks promising because that means there are stakes or consequences for not being a quick thinker.

@Jayofmaya Thanks. I feel that current consoles still have a long life. The five year life span is ridiculous.
