@ATaco That's true, but some excellent points were also made. It doesn't stop CoD or BF games from releasing like clockwork and it actively depicts conflicts between actual nations, so why such a heavy-handed approach here?
@AlanaHagues Game looks great. Might check it out.
I think I also caught a typo:
Quirky genre mash-up Cursed to Golf utterly charmed us when we first set our sites on the game. Think you got autocorrected, should it be 'first sights'?
@Ventilator But it worked for NES, Gameboy, SNES, Nintendo64, DS, 3DS, Gamecube, Switch...
Really not sure what you were trying to get at with that comment.
Likewise with your point about Steamdeck having better hardware than a system released 5 years ago. Nintendo was never into the hardware game, they'll never beat the competition on that front.
Still need to see a bit more gameplay mechanics. I liked that the story isn't linear any longer, I'd like a bit more Legends and less Pokemon S&S in this one.
If we didn't have Starlink I would say: "Why not?" That said, we have Starlink let's keep Starfox going in this direction moving forwards, not backwards.
Really miss this game. One of the ports I wish came over to the switch, though I know its not possible. It’s a great game that the family still revisits from time to time. I really love how effective communication is key to getting through a lot of the stages. It is a truly amazing Wii U game that everyone should play at least once.
They left the first game riddled with bugs, and even a game-breaking glitch after they "patched" it, so I'm ok with them not even trying if probably would have ended up worse than the first installment.
@ModdedInkling I don't believe it was re-coded from the ground up. I believe this is a port, of an Xbox/PS3 port of, a mobile port. They simply added some new features, upscaled the graphics (very poorly in a lot of areas), and somehow still managed to create worse glitches than the originals' had.
I honestly wish it wasn't just a cash grab, but an actual ode to the original game, and its sequels that changed generations of gaming and sparked brand new ideas of what a game could be. What's done is done, I won't even touch this in the bargin bins.
@RiasGremory While I agree that Ubisoft is the epitome of laziness, the collection wouldn't even fit on a disc, as it's so large, not sure how this would be different for a switch cartridge.
A lot of bloom effects in the foreground and fog in the background make it hard to look at. Hopefully, you can change these it the settings. Comparing to previous entries, it still looks much better than anything else they produced, not sure where all the complaints are coming from.
@ThomasBW84 I'm with you there. Haven't played this series since Red/Blue. I honestly never saw anything that was too different from battling and catching pokemon in every subsequent sequel. I found better gameplay from the Yo-Kai Watch series. That being said this looks like the right time to finally dust off that pokedex.

Re: Review: Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles - A Solid Action Adaptation Of The Hit Series
@stocko I think I'm going to bite the bullet on this one and just pick it up physically. Price isn't so bad since I'll have it forever.
Re: Capcom Has Officially Announced Dragon's Dogma II
I guess I need to play the first one finally

Re: Feature: Will These 10 Classic JRPGs Ever Come To Switch?
Xenogears was ahead of its time with the 2D/3D, and combo fighting elements. Still the most memorable game for the PS1 for me.

Re: Yes, Hogwarts Legacy Really Is Coming To The Nintendo Switch
This is the closest we'll get to Fable on the switch. Its an instant buy for that reason alone, provided it isn't cloud based.

Re: Random: Pokémon Legends: Arceus' Massive 'Mon Are Making Some Fans Uncomfortable
Before they were too small, then not big enough, now too big. I see the saying "Pokemon fans hate Pokemon the most" is confirmed.

Re: Review: Astroneer - Plenty Of Genial Jank In This Addictive, Scrappy Sandbox
