If you like this game more power to you but I wish they gave the game to a smaller team rather than Ubisoft. It's pretty but I find it rather boring and predictable.
I submitted all my ratings, only thing is I wish I could rate Sonic Crossworlds Switch 2 edition because it would get an extra point above the switch edition for me.
I understand tariffs or whatever but mcdonalds hands out plastic toys for free. These are just slightly more high quality. Nintendo is just being greedy.
This is a 10/10 game right here, it does what it's set out to do perfectly and I see no other ways to improve it. Sakurai is simply unmatched in terms of making games.
I just put good for both. I feel like it's all going to hinge on the direction of the film, so far it's giving me LoTR vibes. Which on one hand means this could be incredible but on the other hand could be a very challenging film to make. Or maybe it's just something in between idk.
Metroid Prime has always had this atmosphere direction that is why I'm very thankful for Mercury Steam reviving the 2d formula. Still can't wait to try Prime 4 though!
Oh my gosh I know this is the internet but why are people impossible to please??? Most nintendo games got free upgrades but nobody is talking about that ppl just want to talk about the few that weren't free. Also nier is one of the few exceptions to a game being unsupported on switch 2 and you're better off playing that on pc anyway.
Everything looks and feels great with Switch 2, I hope the graphics power will be enough to last us another 8 years though. I mean Rockstar would likely have to develop a specialized version of GTA6 just to potentially get it running, and that's just the first year of 3rd party releases the Switch 2.
I'd like to take a look at Xenotilt since I've been interested in pinball games but they've usually been too simplistic and most of them has been the same game just skin swapped.
I don't think so, I mean the resolution looks very similar unless I see major differences later, and I don't really need mouse control support or the megaphone. 60fps would be a nice upgrade idk why they decided not to.
To be fair we all bought better hardware for things like 60fps updates and animal crossing in particular looks amazing at 60fps so I would still prefer it over not.
That is a strange decision, I immediately thought we could at least play these games in 2d since who will buy a virtual boy? I got these virtual boy games working on my 3ds and they are passable at best by a country mile. This is so so weird.
This game must be coming out this year now if it's already got a rating right? I wouldn't mind it being the December game although we also got Hyrule Warriors at some point so it's a packed year lol and ppl say Switch 2 doesn't have games.
So greedy we have DK and Mario Kart already. This library is excellent when you account for the fact most past games get fps boosts and resolution upgrades
I wasn't sure what game you were talking about ohhhhh! You mean Kirby and the Forgotten Land - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World now I get it.
It looks incredible! My biggest question right now is does this game have loads of replayability? Or will this be a game I find myself putting down after 10+ hours? I'm hoping for the former!
This game looks insanely good as a Kirby Air Ride fan, $70 is still a bit hard to justify for more of an arcade experience. I'm sure I'll be tempted to get it day 1.
Bloons Tower Defense 6 although I imagine a BTD7 isn't too far away right? Also a friend of mine said Boom Blox with gyro controls and that sounds really fun.
While waiting I just got Pokemon Violet (used copy to not support the game's rocky startup haha) and I'm hardly finding any bugs ppl were talking about and the free fps and graphics updates to the switch 2 version make it easily my favorite game in the series on switch. I hope this next one has similar open world design.
My Pros: Seemingly improved upon Legends Arceus gameplay mechanics while reintroducing missing features from mainline games. Improved on the flat colors of Arceus. Arguably the best looking Pokemon game (although there's still lots to be desired)
My Cons: Reusing older gen. City appears to be most of the game. Seemingly no vast open landscapes to explore. New gameplay style might break original Pokemon's working turn based mechanics. Seemingly no crafting mechanic from Arceus that I enjoyed. Also I'm STILL waiting for better graphics, why is there pop in on switch 2?
Like most Pokemon games that come out nowadays I'm on the fence hrmmm maybe I wait for next mainline game or a sale....
Ahhh Undertale! I had the joy of playing this game back when I thought it was an niche innocent little indie game. So many jaw dropping moments if you manage to go in completely blind. I almost wish the internet didn't grab hold of it so tightly for this reason.
It's so strange seeing Nintendo change up voice actors as of late. That being said I didn't even notice Toad had a different actress so that's been a good thing. The new Mario is still pretty strange to me but is a good voice actor.
I give it a 9/10 it's almost a 10 but I have to be more critical since it's a more expensive game and while there are nods to the donkey kong country games this is a bit of a departure from that series.
