Have said it before and I’ll say it again - I really dislike these two leeches. The only place I actually ever hear about them is through this site and I wish they would stop getting any kind of coverage or exposure. I also disagree entirely with what they say. For me, the “ex-Nintendo staff” badge of honour means nothing because they have no new insight, just their lousy opinions.
@Spider-Kev it’s hardly threatening you or the workforce, merely stating some facts about their current finances.
Don’t buy the game if it isn’t your thing.
Man this looks rough as hell. Looks like a bunch of individual assets acting independently of one another as usual, instead of creating a coherent universe where everything interacts together.
I’ve been a customer since their first Switch release - Fox n Forests - and I can quite confidently say that they have been absolutely s**t these past couple of years. If they didn’t publish so many shoot em ups then I wouldn’t have bothered. Still waiting on half a dozen games I paid for (at least) over 12 months ago.
Putting this out here about 5+ years too late - can we drop the “perfect fit for Switch” unless it’s reserved for local multiplayer or something. Not every game is deserving of that overused journalistic filler. It barely makes sense anymore.
I know he splits opinion with his hot takes and attitude sometimes, but I think he’s onto something here. My only experience of Okami to date was on the Wii and I think the motion controls severely hindered it. I found them very unresponsive with the attacks in particular and it stopped me from continuing the game. Which is a shame, because it’s considered to be one of the industry’s very best. I have a HD copy somewhere and will get to it one day.
Saying that your daughter would have more fun with Celeste with some modifiers than Mario Wonder is one of the stupidest claims I have ever heard in my life.
@JohnnyMind people who don’t learn from their mistakes, or learn from others’ very obvious and widely-publicised mistakes, need to be held accountable. Nintendo will absolutely go after this if it gets enough traction and everyone knows they will. They are the most consistent and notorious protectors of their IP in the industry, so I don’t have any sympathy for the creators now and I won’t in the future either. It’s also a good thing that the trailer was mince because we won’t be missing anything.
@JohnnyMind can you try and saying something critical or even negative for a change? 😂 If there was ever a reason to do so, it’s this unauthorised use of Nintendo property. Just once. Pleaaaseee 🥺
A lot of nothing to even get excited about in that trailer anyway. Y’know, that is if it wasn’t taken down, which it very much will be. When will people learn not to use IP in such a blatantly obvious way 😪
It’s probably just another screenshot button. This was limited to only the left JoyCon, so only one person could use it if the controllers were shared. Not sure where all these wild theories are coming from, it literally looks the same shape and size…
Not having the original development team does not impact this final product in any way and should not be listed as a negative. Mention it in the review, sure - hell, why not even have an entire separate article dedicated to it?
But listing it there is pretty pathetic.
Can we just not even pretend that these images are real? There’s no way Nintendo are going to slap a big “2” on the front of the dock, because it looks ridiculous. Honestly might boycott this site until it’s actually announced.
It’s these constant rumour articles and whispers and spec leaks that are getting out of hand. I’m ready when Nintendo is ready, I still have plenty of backlog right now anyway.
(Plus, I’m a grown-ass man and I can wait until the end of March, which would be the very latest…)
