@siavm Oh… I was sure I read somewhere previously that Switch 2 versions (like Pokemon Z-A) will not work on Switch 1. Apparently I stand corrected then, apologies! ✌🏻
Giles Goddard and Dylan Cuthbert honestly peaked in the SNES era and have been living off that legacy ever since. They’re only ever mentioned in the same breath as Starfox.
Sexualising Pokemon will never not be disturbing to me, so not really vibing with this chat. But Mega Starmie is also just categorically one of the laziest designs I’ve ever seen. Truly awful.
Also lol at all the removed comments. Touched a nerve with some people I guess.
Terranigma, Atlus games, Solatorobo (maybe too deep a cut), Inazuma Eleven, Chibi Robo… Would rather have seen some of these instead of multiple entries of the same franchise.
@Spider-Kev While I’m slightly concerned about the direction of this generation and the company in general, your petulant overreaction is a bit melodramatic.
Some of the visuals honestly make this game look like an alpha build, not a finished product. I’m genuinely appalled by the complete lack of coherent art direction; everything looks like assets dropped into a stunningly-lifeless world.
Just seen this on the Nintendo App. I’ve played FE Heroes almost every day since release, but this Among Us style thing doesn’t look it lends itself too well to the series. Hard pass from me, roll on Fortune’s Weave.
@WiltonRoots your comment to @electrolite77 is embarrassing.
I have nothing further to add that would meaningfully extend the discussion where we obviously disagree.
Enjoy your overpriced games.
@electrolite77 they objectively cost too much for what they offer when factoring in the prices on the Wii U virtual console for the same software.
Majority I’m referring to = the comments on this site which, as you can see, are no exactly pleased with it and/or are skipping purchases altogether.
Cost of living does factor in because there is less disposable income for such entertainment. If it was cheaper it could be attainable for others.
It’s almost like you’re on the side of the corporate greed machine - the now very anti-consumer Nintendo, that is.
@WiltonRoots we have a cost of living crisis and these games are at least 15 years old now. So maybe people aren’t selling kidneys to buy them (it sounds like people are going to pass on these in general), but they objectively cost far too much for what they are. Feel free to disagree, but the majority has spoken here.
@JohnnyMind Are you implying that the pricing is the LEAST important thing when it comes to games? Because I’d argue that it’s an important topic for literally every consumer product, ever. At least to me and many of the other people in this comment section.
@JohnnyMind a discount from Nintendo who rarely discounts their games? This is such a poor take; they are far too expensive. I thought this might be the day you finally say something critical, but nope.
Panzer Dragoon Remake was so visually unappealing, felt unfinished in areas and had excruciating load times. It’s such a shame Forever have the license.

@Not_Soos I don’t know what games you’ve “cared about”, but I wouldn’t get carried away with all those IP making the jump to Nintendo. If anything, it would be a gradual process where they test the waters with spin-offs - like Lego Horizon - rather than bringing any big hitters across.
@kmtrain83 Let me dissect and address your many assumptions: 1. You don’t know we’re not getting a full direct. I believe we will at some point, as Nintendo likes to announce these things at short notice. 2. I didn’t ask you to justify my purchase. 3. I didn’t say I was unhappy with it. 4. I’m not selling my console you absolute roaster.

The entire game is a 3D platformer, not just the DLC. So if you don’t like 3D platformers then the entire experience is surely a big con…
