@YANDMAN That's generally how i feel about it too. Plus the controls feel floaty, like I'm not totally in control of my character. Defo cool crossovers though.
I bought this game at launch and me and my kids enjoyed the hell out of it- I was decently average😀 and put around 200+ hours in. It was the launch of rocket League on the switch that eventually swayed us away.. a shame i didn't realise they were doing the last party crash on the weekend, i would've dipped back as i haven't played since possibly Christmas. Sad times.
wished they would've given more dlc and hope we get an ARMS 2
Also the soundtrack is one of the best original music I've heard in a game.
@hayes1516 why do you say 18 plays better than 19? having now heard that fifa 20 is going to be legacy i was thinking to finally pick up 19 when next on sale and be done with it.
What i did for my children who play fornite is just but an extra long male to female jack for their headsets... And to be honest they still don't bother with it... So again, meh for corded.
I think this games awesome i just haven't had enough time to play over smash (I'm trying to learn both games, at the moment Smash hooks me in more). Its a shame the lobbies are quiet, but i guess people like myself don't help!
It'd be great if it was crossplay with the other consoles and PC.
@Gs69 hmm..I dunno about that, going by the amount of times I've had to send in my joycons to be fixed for drift, Nintendo has proven quality isn't always guaranteed.
The last mortal Kombat game i played was mk3 on the snes, things have come on a lot since then lol. Im interested to see how this will look and play on the switch but i can't say I'm eagerly waiting for it... At the moment I'm having a hard enough time trying to juggle DBFZ and Smash.
Let me start by saying, I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to DBZ and it's characters but I'm really enjoying the game... However, i feel like the game lacks female fighters! or are there hardly any in the series...?
I'mean I never really had the VC experience as it came about when i stopped buying games consoles (Wii days i believe?), however, growing up i owned many of the classic games on my original NES, SNES and N64.
Nostalgia had already suckered me into buying the MINI NES and SNES which btw are both gathering dust! so honestly, i love retro but I'm over these old Nintendo games and quite frankly couldn't care less that they were coming to the switch online.
@gcunit i agree, downloads were probably slowing down on ios so that's given them reason to now acknowledge the switch! I'll check it out but I hope they have more in store for this nearly 5 year old game.
I was impressed by the trailer but actually viewing recent gameplay on YouTube it was a little underwhelming... Im not expecting Forza but surely they could add a little bit more life and excitement to the environments, you get more thrills with the Asphalt series of gameloft games.
The tracks from what i can see looked a little staid and dead.
Love this game, first time playing was with the switch... I've had to send my joycons off to Nintendo today for drifting again! 😔So who knows when I'll get them back to get in on the Halloween action.
@Frendo i'mean I'm not sure yet on game play but i definitely agree that the presentation of this game looks very AAA compared to other nindies that always go the route of pixel art or have a mobile game stench to them. I also read it was a one man team! I'm just waiting to read reviews as I'm tempted but not usually a big fan of fps.
My fave is Street fighter ll but then thats the main reason i bought the snes classic.... personally i would’ve liked to have seen ultra street fighter 4 come to the switch.
Im not looking to pick up the anniversary edition, i bought ultra SFll at launch and came to the realisation that i rarely played it. In the end i sold it.
My kids were semi interested in Labo. So basically not enough enthusiasm for me to part with my cash... plus the durability is concerning considering the price.
Can i delete my old copy first then redownload this one or do i need to keep the old copy on for verification or something - reason i ask is because I literally have no space on my Switch to download any more games because of nba playgrounds ironically! I have a sd card on the way.
@mereel that was my experience, it was the first test punch that made me second guess my purchase... It didn't click with me as expected and i was a little deflated but when the game landed and i fooled around a bit more with the kids, suddenly something happened and i started to really get into it. Not just throwing arms aimlessly!
I've clocked up 175 hours on ARMS, its our most played game.
@denis09 yeah- i have to agree. Some of these placeholder names could be just duplicates. I'd love to be proven wrong though as ARMS is definitely my most played game right now.
I bought this game at launch but kind of regretting it now that i have ARMS. Probably played about a couple hours worth max. Whereas I can't stop playing arms. usf2 has been collecting dust. It's going to be even worse when i get my snes classic because I'll be able to play sf turbo on that. I think I'll end up selling my copy.
I love the neon yellow but i want 4 individual colours 😔 So hoping Nintendo will sell single joycons or I'll have to hang on for the Splatoon pink/green even though I'm not really fond of the pink.
It's a shame the graphics on the switch version aren't as polished as the Xbox and ps4 game. I'mean there's no character shadows, no depth of field or motion blur...And overall looks pretty dull in comparison.
I wouldn't have thought this game would test the hardware of the switch?!? Especially when we have visually stunning games like MK8D running at 1080p.
@Tibob Couldn't agree more. The neon yellow looks fantastic but we need a neon green too. I'm not buying any more joycons to go with my red/blue until I can get one neon yellow and one neon green!
@BLP_Software Mine came shrink wrapped too, can't 100% remember the inside but I recall seeing controller configuration guides. No keychain but I bought it at a superb deal of £30 via Very so I'm chuffed to bits.

Re: Video: 7 Minutes Of New Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order Gameplay
@SegaBlueSky That's exactly how I feel about it. The worlds/environments in LEGO Marvels superheroes looks more thrilling than what I'm seeing here.
Does anyone remember Gameloft's Spiderman - Total Mayhem game on iOS, I loved the comic book art style in that and it was actually really fun.

Re: Mario Kart Tour Has Been Delayed Until Summer 2019
@frabbit history tells me, you can't assume with Nintendo - expect the unexpected but here's hoping it is a decent mobile MK.

@frabbit but we still don't know what kind of game/app it is.
Re: Mario Kart Tour Has Been Delayed Until Summer 2019
@Gs69 and you think if Nintendo brought out its own SmartPhone controller accessory it wouldn't be expensive too?! Ha ha!

Re: Dragon Ball FighterZ Producer Teases Second Season On Bandai Namco Live Stream
I finally picked it up on sale over Christmas. Really fun game - love the art style. Dipping back and fourth between this game and Smash.
Re: Talking Point: Which SNES Games Do You Want To See On Nintendo Switch Online?
@WaveBoy i agree.
I'mean I never really had the VC experience as it came about when i stopped buying games consoles (Wii days i believe?), however, growing up i owned many of the classic games on my original NES, SNES and N64.

Re: Guide: Best Nintendo Switch Black Friday 2018 Deals

And would love a good deal on Smash Ultimate digital copy, but I'm not very hopeful.
But nevertheless would like to see more UK deals.

Re: Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection Rumbles Onto Switch May 2018
Nope, not getting sucked in again by nostalgia... Bought USF2 and only played it a handful of times before i so sold it.
The only way capcom can impress me right now is by releasing ultra street fighter IV or an entirely new street fighter for switch.

Re: New Splatoon 2 Switch Accessories And Hardware Bundle Announced
How am I going to get my hands on one neon green and yellow joycon!
I really hope Nintendo sells these as individuals or anyone willing to do some swapping when the time comes?

I wouldn't have thought this game would test the hardware of the switch?!? Especially when we have visually stunning games like MK8D running at 1080p.
Hopefully Saber will address it in an update.
Re: Video: Nintendo Switch Controllers All Have a Power Button Hiding in Plain Sight
I thought this was common knowledge? or rather I just assumed it was the power button when I first started playing with the joycons.
Re: These Neon Yellow Joy-Con Will Go Perfectly With ARMS
@Tibob Couldn't agree more. The neon yellow looks fantastic but we need a neon green too. I'm not buying any more joycons to go with my red/blue until I can get one neon yellow and one neon green!
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Takes Top Spot to Give Nintendo a First UK Number 1 Since 2011

ARMS was part of the deal so it too will be £30
