I’m still going to buy this because I love Pikmin, but adding a dog (not ‘doggo’, for f**k sake), just screams creativity anaemia to me. They did it in Yoshi’s Island, they did it in Luigi’s Mansion and now they’ve done it here - you could also argue Twilight Princess to a degree. It’s hardly original, isn’t like the series really required it and I don’t care if you can pet it or not.
Well… It would appear after all of this that this Chapman fella does in fact have the right to use their work, or else this would have came to halt in a, probably very messy, court proceeding. We’ll never hear the full story about this, but the fact that the publisher is going ahead with this complete edition suggests that they are very confident with their supposed right to the disputed works in question.
Personally, big shmup fan so I’ve always been interested in playing it. Just preordered a copy of this at Play Asia yesterday and I hope no legal troubles hinder its release, cause it looks very good.
“We won't even go into how dreadful it looks or how bad the gameplay is, because that's just obvious at this point.”
That’s some weak a** reporting. We’ve clicked the article, you’ve got our interest because bad games can be amusing, you said you’ve played it, but then don’t divulge much more information other than one mechanic?
I’ve seen comments on this site which have been better written and more constructive. Do better.
Even my younger self who was obsessed with Pokemon Diamond at the time did not see the appeal in this game. Pokemon Stadium back in the day at least had fully 3D animated battles and, more importantly for me and my brother, ridiculous minigames. But Pokemon Ranch was just a total waste of time and precious Wii Points.Tentacruel can just exist there for eternity.
I feel like Tears of the Kingdom is just too vast and I’m never going to finish it. I understand this will be a positive for some people, but for me I don’t have as much time to see it all, which I never thought I’d be complaining about.
One things for sure, you’re getting a lot of game for that inflated price tag.
Barely any of these comments have anything to do with the article in question… 1. This trailer doesn’t prove there is no direct. 2. A direct might still happen (stop whinging about one). 3. The character creation looks quite primitive.
Am I the only one who was glad Valve brought it to their attention? If Nintendo wanted people to play Gamecube games on Steam then they obviously would have done so by now. These fan projects are doomed as soon as they gain any amount of traction, but these idiots never learn.
I can understand why they choose projects like this from an investors point of view - there’s already a fan-base established, the interest is already there. But the lack of originality in terms of IP these days is just so disappointing. Tired of spin-offs for Marvel, Disney, DC, LotR, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, whatever man.
This ain’t coming to Switch. That’s just an opinion of course, and is based purely on the fact that Konami chose not to release Castlevania Requiem: Symphony of the Night/Rondo of Blood on Switch, for literally no reason whatsoever. This MGS collection will be PS5, Xbox and PC only.
@EvrgrnCmln what has that got to do with anything I said or the article in general? Also, you’re not even correct. I could only find 1 story about 1 particular dev who was diagnosed with PTSD due to ‘violent dreams’ that they were having. If you’re gonna @ me with irrelevant info at least get it right.
@Jhena it’s not a Nintendo game though, so they’re not the ‘twisted’ ones. It just happens to be on their system. I shouldn’t need to have to explain that lol.
@Jhena you have no obligation to buy violent video games. But having the option to play them on Nintendo’s console is healthy for the industry as a whole.
I was grinning like an idiot when I accidentally killed myself with a bomb weapon I forgot to let go of. That was a kind of ‘lightbulb’ moment for me where I was thinking ‘well I didn’t know I could do THAT’. It takes a special kind of game for me to be cheesing when I have GAME OVER displayed on my TV.
Seems like it’s poor critical reception isn’t going to stop its popularity. As a Nintendo fan I guess this is a good success for them. As a cinema fan, I’m just disappointed.
Who the heck is surprised by this? With the utterly ridiculous money being spent on these ‘investments’ in recent years, the more likely that fakes and fraud are going to surface.
Well I’m guessing they didn’t really find much success competing against SNK. Always look forward to discovering new games, even if these titles aren’t necessarily my thing.
