I'm still submerged in Samus Returns on my 3DS... I'll also put some time in with my SNES Mini. On my Switch, I'm probably going to throw down some matches in ARMS. Gotta love Lola Pop.
Not likely to support Switch...
Count me out.
It really seems like they're aiming far left of the bullseye here. Nintendo fans would be the most passionate supporters of a game like this.
@bimmy-lee totally didn't mean to sound like I was saying one coast was better than the other... I mean, Common is from Chicago... Just saying that the 90s east coast underground revival we're seeing now is only half the story. There's a lot to be discovered from my coast.
Oh man. This is such refreshing news to be reading.
For me, Skyrim captured the magic of Nintendo gaming like no other 3rd party since the Square and Konami days of the SNES. I'm so friggin happy to see that it's Bethesda blazing the trail for big 3rd parties to return to Nintendo.
@Jimmy_G_Buckets, @bimmy-lee & @Fake-E-Lee you must venture westward in your quest for 90s true school Hip Hop. Hieroglyphics, Freestyle Fellowship (Project Blowed,) The Pharcyde... I mean, Freestyle Fellowship destroyed Wu-Tang live on the Wake Up Show at the peak of Wu's popularity in a battle that took place on both coasts. DJ Marley Marl hosted Wu and Sons of Man on the east coast and Sway & Tech hosted Freestyle Fellowship & Common on the west. It was epic.
Some really groundbreaking & innovative rap has been overshadowed by the memory of the moment in the 90s when the east coast underground surfaced and was mainstream.
Check out the aforementioned battle here: https://youtu.be/hD1FUOAtwzg
We should probably start a forum topic for this, huh?
The Flame in the Flood looks friggin awesome. It seems to match the season in which it released on the Switch.. I'll definitely give that one a go in October.
Gosh, this looks great. Seems like all the reasons I can't get into Minecraft are resolved. I guess I just need some regular-looking adventurers a la Zelda or DQ to push my buttons in a world-builder game. Can't wait!
@Seanmyster6 reasons, reasons.
Someone like you is going to hate this game solely based upon the fact that your fanboy butt is hurt by it's existence.
Aaaand you'll prove it by exerting great efforts in stabbing holes in anyone else's opinion with reasons.
Wanna know how I know?
Because you could have just said "Fatal Fury would be a better example in this case because..."
Question: How high & awesome did you feel about your eloquent rebuttal of my optimistic opinion?
So, Art of Fighting is just a dumb Street Fighter II clone, Chrono Trigger is just a Final Fantasy clone... I mean, it's obviously an homage to Smash. Hopefully it's good.
I loved Epic Mickey. I'd never trade that game off. It's not perfect, but it's really fun... especially for Disney fans. I'd love to see it re-released in some form or another. Unrealistic as the idea is, maybe a 3DS rehash in the vein of Donkey Kong Country Returns. I think I'll break it out and let my kids give it a go. Warren Spector has every right to be proud of Epic Mickey. It's the best Disney game I've played since the days of the SNES.
@Superryanworld two words: Mega Man
It's plain unforgivable at this point.
And even the newer RE titles (excepting Revelations, which I thoroughly enjoyed) are aimless. They've lost that RE spirit. As for Marvel vs Capcom, it's also gone the way of canned pop music. Almost all frills and T&A, but none of that tight, classic, kickass fighting. It feels like the train has been coasting on the steam of Super Street Fighter 2 for longer than some gamers have been alive.
"Who needs Street Fighter?"
Thank you. Exactly that.
I never thought I'd be saying it, but I'd take another SNK fighter over SF2 or it's sequels any day at this point. Capcom needs to just kick the last few holes in the hull of their sinking ghost ship and sell the goods to Nintendo already.
Story is almost as important as gameplay in RPGs, so the Japanese collection is a no-go for me. My fingers and toes are crossed for a western release though. That'd be a day-one purchase.
Wonderful review per usual, and great news as well, @zipmon. Been looking forward to Ever Oasis since its reveal and it's nice to see that we won't be disappointed. My copy is in the mail and I'll be taking the plunge this week! Woot!
I love seeing the overall approval in the poll here. Typically, Nintendo fans of the past 5-6 years have been pessimistic at best and kicking & screaming at their worst. This is a nice change 😀
@Pigeon what looks terrible about it? A new take on tactical with the Mario Bros...a passion project that both Nintendo and Ubisoft are very proud of. Looks great to me.
@Haywired seriously? When I hear people complaining about how horrible the Wiimote response was, all I hear is my little kids whining as they frantically wave their arms from the East to the West, pointing at the TV screen for a fraction of a second. A heap of lame/lazy games aside, I had only a couple of instances of frustration during my 6 years with the Wii.
Haven't played this anywhere else... After watching the video though, Hollow Knight looks like the next great indie release for the Switch. I need this in my life.
It's nice to see Sakurai having enough free time to enjoy both of these games. The last I heard from him, he was about to crumble into a pile of dust out of sheer exhaustion.

Great review. You sold me on the game.
