Man, this makes me wish to go back to Digimon World 1 & 2, if I can feasibly get them without damage.

Thankfully they're not too hard to find.

@TheSilverShroud - If I am paying physical prices, I expect physical product.

And that entails flexibility of access, I need my games consistently playable even if I decide to play the game after the Switch is dead.

Imagine having the Gamecube all-digital and you wanted to play it again because of some rare game like Lost Kingdoms you never got to. You're only way of accessing that is finding a GCN with it installed.

"Streaming Services."

And here I am, lied to myself that their might be a vinyl.

Got the same vibe from this game as I did with Stonefly.

And I dig Stonefly quite a bit.

Did someone say make Sonic Colors 2?!

@Anti-Matter - All versions published by Merge are a buggy mess.

So is this DLC supposed to keep alive a dying game that's not been released or is there a new defense why this crap is okay that I missed?

@johnvboy - We have had people blame Nintendo for Rime and Troll & I and people believed it.

Neither one of those is Switch's fault.

@johnvboy - Honestly, that's more often the problem than the Switch's actual power limitations. It just seems easier to blame Nintendo for not playing the power pissing contest with the other two since the Gamecube. People seem to eat it up.

Development just don't believe in QA anymore.

Kate Gray is obviously the only one holding the torch for Dreamlight Valley on Nintendo sites.

Outside the original release, this site is quite literally the only place you're getting updates for the Switch Version of the game.

Not knocking anything, just an observation.

@BinaryMessiah - I dunno man, there has been a slew of people buying it around her to make TikToks on the glitches. Plus, hard to hurt a game already 10 million in the bag.

I have not heard of DNF in a long time. Never played the actual game this is based on, but like RAID Shadow Legends, it always seems to been in my peripherals.

That being said, maybe this game may have all the weird quirks patched out. Had a better experience with SF4 on the 3DS in spite of its graphical limits because they balanced stuff out from the original release to then.

@AverageGamer - When it's on mobile, they design the flexibility to be accessed on the wider array of devices.

Using Genshin as an example of struggling on even the high end mobile is genuinely a pretty bad take, since that's evident of optimization struggles. But it HAS graphical options for lower end devices.

Your example proved me right.

The reason we have not seen it on Switch is cause is they're still trying to appease their largest market is an optimized option; Mobile.

That and China has plenty of Red ropes to dance around in.

@Kiwi_Unlimited - In context, this is a solo dev that makes mini nostalgic games as such. It's been very hit and miss for me, but he seems to have some notoriety from making very nostalgic 64 styled titles.

@AverageGamer - So your focus is on ONLY the "flagship" phone? Whatever that means fails to point out several affordable phones have been making their rounds due to accessibility and affordability.

None of these are equal in power to a PS4.

Unless you are insinuating the mobile market will actively try and carve out 30% potential market. That's a lot for mobile access games.

@Would_you_kindly - I wouldn't say making something closer to realistic fidelity automatically counts as "better graphics." There is quite a few stylish games that demand more than what this can only be described as "preset toolkit" graphic demos.

@AverageGamer - Mobile will be available to a wide variety of devices, not just exclusively for Galaxy S35X Supreme and iPhone 300.6.

So... Yes, it would have the flexibility developed for it to accommodate the wider audience potential. Mobile isn't portable PS4s.

@Chunkboi79 - I dunno dude, they'll have it on mobile, suggests they will have some graphic fidelity flexibility built in. A port is by no means out of the question.

@Gamergirl94 - Welcome to Flavahtown! Where we all do the same thing the current time tells us is popular!

BotW, MOBA, Battle Royale, Pokémon, Darl Souls. We will do it all! As long as the sales show there is a market on someone else's game!

Looks like I should have waited my buy out til the Complete version releases in 8 months.

@YoshiF2 - The 3D models wasn't really the X8 problem, though. I feel lik they repurposed what lever engine and tools they used in X7 to try and make up what they lost in X8. They have strikingly similar movement and sluggishness. As I said, Reel it in to about X6 roots and it has possibilities to be what people want X to be.

@YoshiF2 - You say that with a straight face when we all know full well X7 and X8 exists?!

Bold words.

Really though, I think X was the branch of "Let's do extra stuff in the game," which led to the bloat of stuff that didn't need to happen. If it's dialed back again, I can see X9 being a solid entry again.

Mainline, it's about simple mechanics with difficult challenge. Straightforward, no-nonsense. Probably why I still favor it.

@Baler - I have not found a joycon "filler" adaptation I have enjoyed, namely because of my latter part of my comment. The leaning back play and needing to hold the system up fails with so many of them.

@Debo626 - If I am playing portably, I am willing to forgo rumble over control of my system.

@YoshiF2 - Everyone, boo this man!

Serious talk; I am okay with an X9, but cannot stand most the characters. Very DeviantArt levels angsty.

Was super satisfied with 11, I would just want more of that with 12. Preferably with a few more Masters.

@Baler - I disagree, I needed filler for the Joycons to fit my hands right. Even moreso trying to hold it upright when leaning back or playing just before bed.

The Hori controller has been consistently proven the best so far for this situation.

Honestly, I cannot be bothered to play this now. After the shutdown of 1 and the grind, it definitely feels like my best interest in the game is absolutely not a priority for it.

I'd be down with some kind of offline single player that had some level of local multi-player though.

• Cloud Version.

How is this score NOT zero?

@Bolt_Strike - This guy is one the right track.

@Coolmusic - Unless there is tangible proof that a story Mode would have impacted the sales in a notable way, it's honestly just a wishful idea at this point.

2 million doesn't become "bad" when another game does better because it's more known. That's still 2 million people likely going to be interested in the franchise. Probably more when you consider used Game circulation and awareness from Smash.

What is with everyone in this thread and this game "failing?" 2 million is a dumpster number now?

Yikes, man. I'd hate to see how you feel about indie game sales outside Shovel Knight.

@Clyde_Radcliffe - Or, y'know, a more tangible access?

Am I the only person who thinks this sort of thing would be a cool hidden reward in an actual Pokémon game, like for catching everything in a dex?

"I'm teaming up with myself, to promote myself as I sell myself." - Pokémon probably.

I'm still going to take a shot. I may never get Rune Factory Frontier again, so this may be what I need.

Honestly, it's a bit weird to see this article in the same timeframe as many Smash "character concept" videos started appearing in my feed for no real reason. 2B being one of them.

Darksiders and Astral Chain are on the list.

All is good.

@Jhena - I feel the same way. I want charismatic SA Sonic, without the SA mechanics.

Cue the Nintendoom, it's Classic flavor!

Real talk though, even this late in the game Nintendo is managing massive attachment ratios for even games that struggle elsewhere.

And I am talking the "B Class" of games. Bayonetta, Disgaea, even Falcom is getting equal support from Switch as to their heyday in the west. That's pretty massive considering how slow growth was for them.

@nessisonett- Amazon bought devs too, RIP Killer Instinct developer.

Mega Man 11 was actually pretty amazing, I would settle for a MM12 with the same mechanics.

@ChickenJoe - Yeah, bought Miles Morales, physical... Only to find myself not wanting to finish it. Though, admittedly, the required download for physical media was also a pretty heinous reason.

It lacks something. Everything feels like "look at this" instead of "play there." And I noticed this long ago, but it just feels far more prevalent now. And I see it in even Nintendo many times as well.

@ketrac - Adventure games are an acquired taste in my eyes. Since I didn't grow up with the original, I haven't been too excited for the new one. The art may be jarring for some, though. Hope it finds its style. Most my indies I have bought recently are released in the previous year. As mentioned, I just got done with Pumpkin Jack for the second time. Good stuff.

@PessitheMystic - I am nearing the 1400 mark for Switch physical games. But outside the novel collecting I am doing, indies don't require all that power and have less of a hard time being optimized.

Enjoyed Pumpkin Jack once more for Halloween as an example.

@ketrac - That's just another thing; I own a PC aptly named "Megatron" from friends. Thing is a powerhouse, so even if I wanted to want PS5 games, they're functionally optimal on my PC.

That's only assuming I want those powerful "showcases" that are being called games nowadays. I just have not found myself to be excited for any of it.

I was more excited, and elated, to see Episode 1 Racer being ported than I have DMC5, RE8, or FF7.

Hell, I saw an indie on Twitter feed, about a yokai styled Pokémon Snap. That's Game is far from anything Complete, but I am more excited seeing small updates on that than most of all AAA games.

Going to be honest; I cannot even be asked to play my PS5. Have a couple games, though nice looking, they're just not... Fun?

I dunno, I have been far more excites by indies and ports of old games than I have of any new hyped-up benchmark hallway action simulator that has been announced for the passed 5 years.

AAA games are just... not being AAA outside presentation.

@Eagly - Not entirely about Superman. Cavill is a huge fan of the Witcher books and even opted to stay for a 7 season series if they continued to stay true to the books. Even one of the main writers for Season 2 was saying many of the staff actually had a disdain for the materials and were just on the project because they wanted the notoriety and wanted to change many things.

Cavill tapped out of his fight. Which tells me Season 4 is going to be more different than just the lead.

Up against two major releases that even Mario wouldn't be able to ruse above.

That's solid.

@segasonicsteve - Preeching to the choir, there.

I'd still pay for a physical of Good Job! or Stretchers.

Oh, so you're going with the plan to isolate games from ever being played by the consumer's whims?

Cool cool... How about go F*^& Yourself, respectfully.

This is the true Capcom icon, forget those road-punchers like Ryu.
