@Paychi In one of the previous articles, someone got a lot of likes complaining about the crossover aspect, saying that the characters were out of place or something.
I wish I had replied to it. First of all, that's a weird double-standard, because Super Smash Bros. has been doing this for years, and three of the characters were even in Smash previously, and their inclusions were highly anticipated. And second, they did the crossover aspect in this game because fans were disappointed by other Sega franchises being dropped when they made Team Sonic Racing. So it came across as someone not knowing what they were talking about, or not even knowing the All-Stars games existed? We don't even get the damn courses or voice clips, let us have the Persona and Yakuza rep we wanted since the last game. (And to play as NiGHTS and monkey boy AiAi again.)
Sorry, IDK why I even typed this. The moment to has long passed. I guess I just wanted to vent.
I already have both games physically (and I think I have all the DLC) on Switch 1, so this is a hard sell for me personally. But this is great for anyone who hasn't bought the games yet but wants to.
@Lizuka Here's hoping for Sakura Wars and/or Valkyria Chronicles rep. I would also love for Arle from Puyo Puyo to get in, but she's seemingly deconfirmed, at least for now with the anniversary decal being revealed.
Would be willing to bet that Shinobi, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Crazy Taxi, and Jet Set Radio have reps get in to tie in with their new games. (What I played of the recent Shinobi game was excellent btw, but that's besides the point.)
"No, I'm not interested" winning really shows how a small sample size can just straight up not represent reality. Announcement trailer has a ton of views and hype, social media has been blazing about it. The game is going to be a hit, despite seemingly being niche.
I loved The Simpsons as a kid. I played for hours yesterday. Exploring the Springfield map and doing the quests has been a fun and nostalgic time for me. I had recently gotten Hit & Run again too, so I guess I've been in a Simpsons video game mode recently, haha.
I was just at a Kung Fu Tea the other day. It's near where I live, so I might go again to try one of these. I am sad I missed out on the Kirby and the Forgotten Land collaboration they did.
I didn't even know the game existed until a few years ago due to a random tweet about it being the first game in the SteamWorld series. And I was a big fan of Dig and Dig 2.
I went ahead and bought it before the 3DS eShop closed, but I really do home they can make a remake or port happen someday.
I am on the third island, and so far I think it is great. (So I guess 8/10.) It's been really fun and addicting exploring and messing around in the open worlds, and getting S ranks in the cyberspace levels has been a blast. The writing has also been really solid. It's the best the characters have been written in years.
I heavily disagree with a "poor" score. IDK what else to say.
7th Dragon III, Stella Glow, and Rhythm Thief are underrated IMO. I'd say they are worth getting at those prices, especially since I believe they are expensive physically nowadays.
Out of curiosity, does Decadence put all of the included games' icons to the front of the home menu (like some other physical Switch compilations), or does it have its own dedicated home menu icon?
@topher6490 Using "we" is a very dumb decision and honestly should be stopped. Definitely makes it seem like NL is a hivemind that has the exact thoughts on everything when that absolutely isn't the case.
I love the arcade version, and I'm definitely getting this Switch version at some point. But I almost wonder if it might be better to wait for a price drop.

Re: Multiple Switch Games Receive Switch 2 Compatibility Fixes
@Chimichanga We don't seem to be able to get that upgrade here in the US either. At least not physical owners.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Reveals Three More Free DLC Characters
Let's go, Arle!! Probably my most wanted character for the game!!

Re: Capcom's New IP Is Off To A Promising Start As Demo Hits One Million "Combined Downloads"
That demo was awesome. It sold me on the game.

Pfffffffffffffffffffffffft.
What a mess.

Re: Sonic Mania Dev Laments "Corporate Bureaucracy" Ahead Of Its Next Game
Headline is still incorrect and misleading.

Re: Opinion: We Need To Talk About X Games
This has been a trend in anime titles for years. Hunter X Hunter, Gun X Sword, Spy X Family, etc.
Re: Feature: "It Was Always About Surviving Together" - Why Konami Chose This Forgotten IP For Switch 2's Launch
The juxtaposition between those two images for the article's thumbnail is so funny. The new game has no sauce!
Re: Nintendo Updates Switch 2 Backwards Compatibility List
@N8tiveT3ch Less features is not a good thing, nerd. It's convenient to have them on the same console, especially on a Switch.
Re: Splatoon Manga Spotted On Japan's Switch eShop, Out Next Week
Huh. Interesting.
Re: PlayStation Vita Exclusive 'Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: Battle Destiny' Is Getting Remastered For Switch
I loved Seed, so I'll probably check this out. I hope it gets a demo.
Re: Dragon Quest XI S To Be Temporarily Unavailable On The Swich eShop
Ah. So the publisher is changing from Nintendo to Square Enix on this one too.
Re: Retro Staff Credits Removed From Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Forever Entertainment Confirmed As Devs
Ugh. Those idiots.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Sonic X Shadow Generations
The Japanese one uses all-new art of Sonic and Shadow, and looks really cool.
Shadow looks cool in the NA / Europe one, but it mainly just slaps the old renders of the Sonics on there, and put all 3 on some floating squares.
Re: Super Mario Party Jamboree's Pre-Order Gifts Have Been Revealed (US)
The canvas tote seems like the best one in my opinion.
Re: Surprise! Princess Peach: Showtime! Is Getting A "Limited-Time" Kung Fu Tea Collaboration
I was just at a Kung Fu Tea the other day. It's near where I live, so I might go again to try one of these. I am sad I missed out on the Kirby and the Forgotten Land collaboration they did.
Re: Persona 3 Portable & Persona 4 Golden Physical Editions Announced For Switch
Why can't Atlus / Sega do these themselves?!
What nonsense. I'm not giving LRG my money after waiting a million years for Gunvolt 3.
Re: Poll: Mario & Sonic Face Off On Switch This October - Whose Corner Are You In?
I'm getting both, babyyyyyy.
Re: Hatsune Miku Is Getting Her Very Own Fitness Boxing Game On Switch
I can't believe I'm going to buy a Fitness Boxing game.
Re: Atlus Mobile RPG 'Megami Ibunroku Persona: Ikuu no Tou Hen' Coming To Switch
This is kinda neat.
Re: Yes, The Super Mario Bros. Movie Will Have A Post-Credits Scene
Could be Rosalina and a Galaxy tease, since there's a (crazy) Luma in the movie.
Re: SteamWorld Series Creator Admits 3DS eShop Closure Is A Little Bit "Upsetting"
I didn't even know the game existed until a few years ago due to a random tweet about it being the first game in the SteamWorld series. And I was a big fan of Dig and Dig 2.
I went ahead and bought it before the 3DS eShop closed, but I really do home they can make a remake or port happen someday.
Re: Atlus Cancels "Final" 3DS Game Sale Ahead Of eShop Closure
Apparently they advertised the previous sale as the last one, so if they did another one, that could get them in trouble.

They said on Twitter that the game will be delisted from storefronts on October 6th.

I enjoyed reading Philip's stuff back then.
This is devastating news. Rest in peace.
Re: Feature: Sonic The Hedgehog Compilations - Every Sonic Collection Before Sonic Origins
Sonic & Knuckles Collection on PC was my introduction to the series as a child.
Re: Save On Sonic, Persona And More In The Sega / Atlus Switch & 3DS eShop Spring Sale (North America)
7th Dragon III, Stella Glow, and Rhythm Thief are underrated IMO. I'd say they are worth getting at those prices, especially since I believe they are expensive physically nowadays.
Re: Poll: What’s Your Favourite New Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC Track?
Ninja Hideaway and Paris Promenade are my favorites.
Re: Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2 Adds Mischievous Gal*Gun Boss Later This Month
She was a playable DLC character in Mighty Gunvolt Burst, so her appearance as a DLC boss in this game isn't too shocking.
Maybe they will do a Bloodstained character as a DLC boss next (perhaps Zangetsu).
Re: Crunchyroll Is Now Available On Switch
I've wanted this for so long. I'm so glad it's finally on Switch.
And offline viewing support? Cherry on top.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th December (North America)
Wish we'd get Valkyria Chronicles 2 and 3 on Switch.
3 in particular hasn't been released in English before. Kinda surprised it hasn't been re-released by now.
Re: The "Live-Action" Mega Man Movie Could Be On The Way To Netflix
I'm sure this will be just as well received as Netflix's Cowboy Bebop.

Re: Smash Bros. Ultimate Hosting New Fighter Tournament This Weekend
Man, 24 newcomers overall, if you count the echo fighters and Pyra and Mythra as separate. That's the highest number of newcomers of any Smash game.
Re: Random: These Mario And Luigi Cosplays Are So Good, Even Mario Himself Is Impressed

Re: Switch Firmware Update 13.0.0 Weirdly Speeds Up Some Game Boot Times
Yeah, I noticed The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles started up way faster. Blew my mind.

I love the arcade version, and I'm definitely getting this Switch version at some point. But I almost wonder if it might be better to wait for a price drop.
Re: Poll: WarioWare: Get It Together! Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
I am a fan of the series and I bought it as soon as I could. Got it from Wal-Mart so it was $10 cheaper.
Re: Random: Krispy Kreme Launches A Tasty Pokémon Dozen Doughnut Set
These look and sound amazing.
Re: Japanese Charts: Visual Novel 'Tsukihime' Takes Top Spot In Another Strong Week For Switch
I hope the Tsukihime remake will get localized. Especially with Melty Blood: Type Lumina releasing worldwide next month.
Re: Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2 Blasts Onto Switch Next Year
The first Luminous Avenger iX was a great time, so this is a nice surprise. Pretty cool that we're getting two brand new Gunvolt games in 2022.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Will Expand Its Switch Online Service With Game Boy And Game Boy Color Titles
It's something, but I'd much prefer GBA.
That being said, more people being able to play Super Mario Land 2 is a good thing.
