I enjoyed this game a lot (apart from the story, which was total crap), but the lack of any meaningful post-game or New Game+ really hurts it in my opinion.
I’ll be jumping back in to do these Paralogues and that’s about it. Three Houses was much better in this regard, with the multiple storylines and ability to carry progress forward.
@Zisssou I’d have more respect for you if you just came out and said it was pointless 😂 I’m kidding, although I do agree with gimmick aspect for sure. Nothing other than bragging rights to say they released the last 3DS game ever!!!!*
@Scarko aw my bad, couldn’t tell it was sarcasm because arguably it hasn’t actually turned out bad for Newcastle. Current highest league position for as long as I can remember.
But again, I am not condoning or endorsing Saudi funding whatsoever.
@Scarko well it’s not like Newcastle haven’t come under significant scrutiny and criticism since that deal, is it? 🤔 They should stay well away from Nintendo.
We’re never going to hear the end of these rumours until it’s actually announced eh. It’s the same with the ‘Switch Pro’, but at least we can now tick Metroid Prime Trilogy off the list.
Criticisms of the graphics is pretty stupid when all you can say is that they don’t feel right. It’s a remaster sure, but the game should be evaluated in what it is now and now what it was back in 2002.
Nintendo getting sued by children for their inferior product and then winning their legal battle with them just seems like typical Nintendo behaviour tbh.
18% have games in development for Switch, but 12% have games in development for VR headsets which, in my opinion, I’m not interested in playing in any capacity and still consider it to be quite a niche hobby. Definitely thought Switch would be higher given its large user base.
Here, Kirby as the 14th best selling game of the year is an insane achievement. Most enjoyable game in the series in my opinion, so it’s good to seeing it selling well too.
So whit? Is this really a reason to boycott 2 of the most highly anticipated games for Switch this year? Grow up, folks. Don’t be such entitled little babies.
@Sequel this isn’t Nintendo’s fault here, it’s the publisher for releasing what the lead developer considered to be an unfinished product. Publishers can slap whatever they want on the eShop, there’s soooo much garbage on there.
They can increase the price because they’ve printed more cards in recent years than they ever have. Thanks to embarrassing YouTubers hyping them up as an ‘investment’, this can only be an even more profitable avenue for TPC.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Microsoft begged Nintendo to take the game, rather than Nintendo wanting it particularly, given the high user base that the Switch currently has.
It also sticks two fingers up to Sony, as their tweet has also highlighted. And that’s always funny, I guess.
Super disappointed but absolutely not surprised. The Pokemon games have simply not been able to keep up with the change in technology and always feel a generation (or three) behind.
Do the franchise justice and let Monolith Soft have a go.
@sixrings Sonic Frontiers actually came to Switch, albeit in a pretty butchered state. There will be other, more essential, games that won’t be playable on Switch unless there’s a hardware upgrade. And it needs to come much sooner than in 5 years time.
@RupeeClock as others have said, create a US account with another email address and you can then redeem the code. I’ve done it for the Megaman Legacy Collections for example, works nae bother 👍🏻
This sounds like they’re trying to hype up potential investors to back them and that they have no clue what it will be. “Multiverse” is overused, so let’s go with “super game” instead 😪 This game is still a long way from release so who knows what will be popular then.
@B_BIackNinja_N I’m happy to be proven wrong! And honestly, I would like Frontiers to be good, but Sonic’s track record in 3D games is shockingly bad, so I’m keeping my expectations firmly in check.
@ChopperDX if there’s a way to improve something, then I find it impossible to agree with the statement ‘it is what it is’. Listing the additional item would be a very simple and easy way to improve things.
@RupeeClock it would at least be better if they specified what the ‘bonus gift’ was. I know on the homepage right now it says there’s a Steelbook, but look at any other game that mentions a free gift and you’d be hard pressed to know what it actually is!
That’s also disappointing. Sounds like I’m not missing out on much. Will keep an eye on eBay though to see if any surface at a reasonable price. Cheers!
Wtf are they doing on that website? The Xenoblade 3 thing was an utter shambles and it seems like they haven’t learned from their mistakes at all.
I’ve been fortunate enough over the years to preorder pretty much everything I’ve wanted from them, but they’ve really been taking the p*ss the last few months.
I cancelled my Bayo 3 with MNS due to the Xenoblade 3 situation then I found out later that they were shipping Bayo 3 with an exclusive Steelbook… Would’ve kept the order if I’d actually known that, but their website is abysmal.
