I bought the game recently because it was really really really really really really really really cheap...with that being said the start of the game is very slow and very chatty...did not like that. I wonder if that is what to expect going forward.
Damn straight its more than a pretty picture. Such a good side scroller and pretty damn good gameplay. I need this on my Switch right now...may when 2 comes out.
It looks like I played 106 games totaling 444 hours played. 3 top games were the usual XC, Vampire Survivors, and Metroid Prime. Interesting some newer games didn't make the list.
cool...I guess I personally think it should have gone to that card game. Astro Bot while kinda fun is not Mario or Jak and Daxter. Because the game is built on ads for other games. I'm not saying Nintendo doesn't do this but at least they are classy with their nods to their other titles. Plus, the music to introduce the games felt off...but that is personal tastes considering in the past we had mario/zelda/metroid in the mix for goty.
Another click article but I clicked, right? Micromanaging sucks I left a job because of it. BUT it is their IP and we as Nintendo fans enjoy that "Nintendo Polish."
Mass Chaos is what is going on at Nintendo as they struggle to keep up with theme parks, movies, toys, and clocks. They wanted Disney money not knowing what it meant. Now they are struggling to put games on the table. I'm starving over here.
@WhensDinner Plus, Nintendo focus on smaller style less expensive games is paying dividends. SONY/Microsoft expensive first party focus is starting to show its age and unsustainable.
Microsoft can't stay committed to anything unless it's a huge success especially for hardware. They only real reason they still have hardware in the console space is that they need to survive until all their games are ready to be cross platform. Once that is done, they will jump ship. Sony maybe but if their VR headset is anything to go by, they can't juggle another piece of hardware.
Y'all are all into to some weird sh*t. I don't want Nintendo doing Nintendo things. I just want them to be normal for once. Like when they released the GameCube.
Has Nintendo experimented with a hand drawn look to a game? I don't think so but that time and effort it would take compared to just making a 3d model. Either way the hand drawn look does suit Zelda well.
its an okay game....but the sprite work in this game is top tier. Props to CAPCOM for making that happen. I wonder if nintendo would allow them to develop another one that isn't minish cap 2.
I'm happy with the maybe 1-2 games a week if possible. Just something to look forward to, I guess. Mind you I don't go on huge music soundtrack binges. So, I'm not really affected by the slow drip.
Really this is not surprising at all...Considering the game landscape has changed. You can't survive on a single console or platform unless it's funded by the first party. Games need to be available everywhere to reach as many people as possible to meet financial success. Especially when it's an indie title. Even then it's not guaranteed.
@nessisonett I'm probably that because I can't be bothered to care. I just want to listen. I'm also the person who doesn't care about the credits of a game unless its interactable ( Bayonetta, Mario, and I think smash does that). Movies I just stop when it's finished.
While this is true. The Smash Bros player is still king...they offer different renditions of certain songs. Also, songs that are not Nintendo properties. So, I wonder how long before Nintendo runs out of tracks to include on the platform.

Re: Gorgeous Pixel Art Metroidvania 'Kraino ReBirth' Secures A Switch Release
@Serpenterror @koopababble so what you’re saying is there is a sh*t ton “metroidvania” type games on the eshop. Lol
Re: Several PlatinumGames Veterans Have Seemingly Left The Studio
Well, considering what they wanted to do with live service games and the direction on that endeavor probably didn't sit well with a lot of people

Re: New Side-Scroller Entry In Legendary Ninja Gaiden Series Announced For Switch
Finally a good side scroller for Ninja Gaiden. I know others wanted a new 3d action one but 2d and done by the TMNT/Streets of Rage 4 devs is a plus.

Re: Ubisoft Closes Two Studios And Will Reportedly Lay Off Hundreds Of Employees
@Nintendomatt64 oh yeah I forgot about that game. I need to play that game. Thanks for the reminder.
Re: Ubisoft Closes Two Studios And Will Reportedly Lay Off Hundreds Of Employees
For me they peaked at Blood Dragon, rayman legends, and those hand drawn game plus Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. other than that, they can go away.

Re: Review: Nine Sols (Switch) - An Intense Metroidvania That's Still A Treat On Switch
