I got my physical copy yesterday and yes, it's tough. I completed the first stage and died a lot. I was kinda shocked, that the progress isn't saved, so I have to start over. Seems I have to make it in one rush.
A series where I'm glad, I don't care about it. I played the 1st Kingdom Hearts as a kid on PS2 and I loved it. But also, I completed it because of story, the combat was pretty decent and the levels were a bit bland. I played a bit of Kingdom Hearts 2 and it felt so much more repetitive and even more bland than the first one. In the meantime, there are too many entries. I'm out, no interest.
This game died so hardly on me. It's been a long time I played. I'm still kinda disappointed about Splatoon 3, I even got the OLED model Splatoon 3 edition. But even after a lot of updates, I'm not enjoying it, I liked online in Splatoon 1 and 2, but not here. Even the single player in 3 isn't that great in my opinion.
Just got myself the very first Super Monkey Ball for Nintendont. While I'm interested in this new game, I'm not willing to pay the full price. So waiting for a sale.
For a system, everybody seems to wait for the successor, it was a pretty good Direct. I was really happy about the Mario and Luigi announcement. Also Mario Party looks great and Metroid Prime seems to be incredible. I'm not sure about this Zelda game, I'm not sold yet. The rest was ok, I'd give it an 8.
Must be extremely exciting for Nintendo Onlys finally being able to play this. But I'm also really looking forward to this new version, XBox Series X version is pre-ordered.
I got my first controller from PDP a few weeks ago. It's that Princes Peach Grand Prix controller in Black/Pink wich glows in the dark and looks stunning. It also is wireless and has 40h battery life and has no rumble or motion sensor. Well, the missing rumble is sad and also, the face buttons are a bit clicky. But besides that, I like it. And i have 3 different Pro controllers from Nintendo, so it's a "nice to have".
@rvcolem1 yeah definitely. Opinions are so different with movies for sure. But I really want to mention, that this movie gets better and better. The finale and how the whole story develops was so heartwarming. I really think you missed out something.
I have 5h of playtime in my Switch counter. I'm not sure if I will beat that game. I got bored and annoyed pretty fast. It's not my type of Zelda game anymore.
The score seems a bit hard. But I don't give all too much weight into review scores from NL. Sometimes games get too high scores(yeah, the ridiculous 10/10 on Metroid Dread) or sometimes too low.
I voted as well🙏 About right, but I don't get why The Two Thrones is so much higher rated than the Wii version Rival Swords. Both were the same games, I'd say the Wii version looked about an uptick better and the motion controls were a bit tacked on, but it was very well made.
To be fair, Nintendo wasn't the best plattform for this series besides Forgotten Sands on Wii, which was awesome. Sands of Time is my favorite of the series, but not on Gamecube. The Gamecube version was blurry and the sound quality was terrible. The XBox and PS2 versions are the way to go. Next is The Two Throwns, which I actually enjoyed on Wii, even if it was like the Gamecube version with motion controls.
Even if this kinda was fresh news, it's not that special. Killer Instinct on SNES is pretty bad compared to the Arcade version. And Blast Corps is great, but I have it on the Rare Replay Collection or original N64. The rest isn't a big deal.
I played and finished LOTR Gollum this year on Series X. It wasn't that bad. It actually had good moments, some nice puzzles and the graphics were alright. What annoyed me most, was that climbing and stealth mechanics were too dominant and besides that, the Series X version had some real lighting issues. Some sections were a pain thanks to that. All in all, I would give it a 6-7/10.
I hope this works out. I the past, Sega games were mostly despised and ended up being bargains in the store shelfs. The last tries to bring back games like Shinobi, Altered Beast or else, we're absolutely successles. I'm absolutely looking forward to these games, as I'm a big Sega fan. But I also fear, this could be the last time, these franchises will return. Especially in times with subscriptions everywhere and stingy people.
@Vexx234 I still own it, as I own every Sonic game on Gameboy Advance. It's not a crap game, but also not special in my opinion. Far from being something like Powerstone
I watched a bit of gameplay. PS5 looks definitely better than the Switch. But besides some dated visuals, it doesn't look that bad. Can't be a 2/10 I'd say. They were also pretty mean on Dreamworks All Star Kart with 4/10. I have this game since yesterday and I actually really enjoy it. It's definitely not a 4/10.
@whatusaymark why? Game Mill is just the publisher, not the developer. And while I didn't play The Walking Dead, some games are good which are published by them.

@Synecdoche yeah, that's really weird 😅

So at least LRG is doing a physical XBox version.
Still unsure about getting this game
Re: SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos Switch Physical Releases Announced
Yes definitely and that Pix n Love makes it too.
Re: Deals: Now's The Time To Upgrade Your Switch's Micro SD Card
I wouldn't bet on Micro SDs on the Switch 2.
It's pretty dated that format. I could imagine that Nintendo uses SSDs now.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition?
I pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition, even if it is a bit overpriced.
Re: Video: What Order Should You Play Kingdom Hearts?
@Axecon yeah, it's the better game.

Re: Nintendo Switch Sports Basketball Update Worked On By Eighting
Yeah, next up please put in UFC including the FLESH engine from Dead Island 2 for the Avatar faces. 😁
Re: House Of The Dead 2: Remake Gets Rated For Switch By The ESRB
Yeah great idea, because it's so much fun with a controller.
I'd rather pull out my zapper from the basement and play it on my Wii U.

Re: TMNT: Mutants Unleashed Physical Collector's Edition Looks Totally Tubular
@rvcolem1 you should have watched it until the end. This movie is awesome.

Re: Review: Endless Ocean: Luminous (Switch) - A Meditative Marine Milieu, But Incredibly Shallow
@JCLKaytwo that's maybe your opinion. But it's also one of the weaker Metroid games in total. I know there are others with the same opinion.

I'll just stay with my 3DS copy. No interest.
Re: Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath Of The Mutants (Switch) - Coin-Op Co-Op Cowabummer
As expected. This game already looked bad in the trailers. I'll wait for this Mutant Mayhem game
Re: Best Prince Of Persia Games Of All Time - Switch And Nintendo Systems
I voted as well🙏
About right, but I don't get why The Two Thrones is so much higher rated than the Wii version Rival Swords.
Both were the same games, I'd say the Wii version looked about an uptick better and the motion controls were a bit tacked on, but it was very well made.
Re: Sonic Superstars Exclusive Amy Rose Outfit Available In New Collaboration
Stupid, that is only available for a small amount of people.
But even though, it's not the greatest game out there.
Re: Poll: What's The Best Prince Of Persia Game? Rate Your Favourites For Our Upcoming Ranking
To be fair, Nintendo wasn't the best plattform for this series besides Forgotten Sands on Wii, which was awesome.
Sands of Time is my favorite of the series, but not on Gamecube. The Gamecube version was blurry and the sound quality was terrible. The XBox and PS2 versions are the way to go.

Re: Splatoon's Final Wii U Stage Rotations Have Been Revealed
So sad😥
It's still my favorite Splatoon game in online. Splatoon 3 just, well.... Kinda sucks.
Re: TY The Tasmanian Tiger: Bush Rescue Bundle Announced For Switch
Glad I never bought it so far. This is way more appealing than the old release.
Re: Shadows Of The Damned: Hella Remastered Confirmed For Switch
Ok. I guess it will be a Remaster on PS5 and XBox and a port on Switch.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Collections And Compilation Games
The Street Fighter Anniversary Collection is crap.
Re: Review: Mario Tennis (GBC) - Camelot's Ace Little Tennis RPG Is Hard To Fault
Yeah, like someone would say in 2024:
I need the Switch Online Subscription to play the Gameboy Color version of Mario Tennis...
🤣
Re: Rejoice! Sea Of Stars Is Getting 3-Player Couch Co-Op
I will immediately buy the physical version, when it comes out. Guess it will be on XBox.
Re: Biomutant Finally Secures A Release Date On Switch
Better never than late...
Re: Review: Penny's Big Breakaway (Switch) - A Furiously Fast & Fun Platformer With Sega Spirit
The game looks pretty nice. As often, I'll wait until a physical version drops.
Re: Poll: What Switch Online Rare Game Are You Playing This Weekend?
Even if this kinda was fresh news, it's not that special. Killer Instinct on SNES is pretty bad compared to the Arcade version. And Blast Corps is great, but I have it on the Rare Replay Collection or original N64.
The rest isn't a big deal.
Re: LEGO 2K Drive & NBA 2K Dev Visual Concepts Austin Hit By Layoffs
What a wonder. Both games are crap. At least NBA turned into crap.
Re: Rumour: Microsoft Will Bring Critically Acclaimed Exclusive To "Competitor System" This Year
Do it Bethesda, if that means that finally a Disc version arrives on Series X, do what you must.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Cross-Play Release Window Confirmed, But There's No Mention Of Switch
I guess they know why. Most Switch gamers play over WLAN and the Switch connection is bad.

Re: Soapbox: 20 Years Later, Why Do We Still Not Have A New Sonic Battle?
@Vexx234 I still own it, as I own every Sonic game on Gameboy Advance.
It's not a crap game, but also not special in my opinion. Far from being something like Powerstone
Re: Soapbox: 20 Years Later, Why Do We Still Not Have A New Sonic Battle?
Because it was a pretty mediocre game which doesn't really need a sequel
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Batman: Vengeance (GBA)
I always wanted to wake up on a Sunday morning and speculate, which Gameboy Batman Game has the best cover art.😁
I prefer the US one, looks better.
Re: Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2's Next Update Addresses Community Feedback
I think they also patched Dreamworks Kart Racer a bit
Re: Review: The Walking Dead: Destinies (Switch) - One Of The Worst Games Of The Year
