Lots of whinging here. 1. The input lag is only 5 frames. In my opinion it’s barely noticeable and does not hinder the game in any way. 2. All editions are open pre-order. You have until 13th November to place an order for any of the versions. 3. It’s really not THAT long a wait for the game to be released. Generally 6 - 9 months. Maybe longer for the proper collectors edition.
What the actual f***. How were we supposed to know it was going back up for order? Last I heard they had removed the listing completely from the site so it wasn’t even possible to check for stock. I can’t refresh it every minute of every day in the off chance that it’s there… This is an absolute mess.
I’ve been refreshing my emails on and off since 20th September when their initial email said they would open orders “very soon”.
They then send this one out 2 minutes after I entered a meeting for work which lasted an hour. So of course I missed it. Absolutely shocking man, such bad service.
After the utter failure of the Wii U, they’ve turned their fortune around exponentially. Would be a terrible business decision to drop this concept for the next system, whatever that may be!
@johnvboy nae need for your unwarranted sarcasm, I know how film marketing works, thanks. You seem to be way too invested in this given the number of comments you’ve had in this article.
@AndyVGR look at him at any kind of convention. You can tell he absolutely loves what he does and he completely embodies the characters he plays. I don’t think there’s any chance he was offered. Hollywood probably just want to attach a big name to get some more people to come see it.
My favourite memory is when Nintendo shafted him in favour of Chris Pratt. (Seriously gutted he didn’t get to do the voice, he’s the only Mario we’ve ever know and does it so well)
I’ve already clicked on the article, I just wanted a quick summary somewhere instead of a 16 minute video, as others have also said. And Alex tries WAY too hard to be funny/quirky it’s embarrassing
@Benjamin_K no worries! Tbh I found it purely by accident. I was Googling the game to find out more about it and I spied the Nintendo Life review. Cheers for the recommendation
@Anti-Matter I know nothing about this game, but I’d bet a large sum that it’s nothing but shovelware aimed at wee lassies who don’t know the difference between a good game and a poor game. I doubt a review would be very kind to it. Come on, man. You’re better than this.
@Host-Migration high praise! I do like good computer games too. The trailer made me strangely uncomfortable, does that feeling echo through the rest of the game? 😅
@Robokku I appreciate the response (because I didn’t expect one haha). I just think it’s a bit of an oxymoron to write that you can easily recommend it to anyone, but non-fans of the series will lose out on some extra brilliance. You’ve already given the game glowing praise so surely it’s quality speaks for itself and non-fans will still have a good time.
As others have said, some of these ‘cons’ have almost felt like a tick-box exercise or looking for faults where there are none.
Just catching up with this, real sh***y again. This happened to me before with Warned Collectors I think it was called, but I didn’t even get a chance to preorder here. Gutting cause I was hoping they would eventually deliver on Radirgy and that Paradise game.
@Soylentcuck mate don’t tell people how to live their life. I feel no obligation to have children either but I’m not forcing my ideals down anyone’s throat. It’s a gaming site so we’re gonna talk about games here, not kids.
Never read this article at the time because I had a base model Switch and it didn’t affect me. But can confirm, this issue is still present on the new Splatoon OLED. And it’s p***ing me right off.
Sucks for them, but Aeternoblade is one game I’ve never cared for. Both of them look distinctly average and they just seem to fart them out on every system possible.
@BTB20 okay, sure, that’s one obscure example in their 40+ year history of making games. There’s so many more that have never had any kind of rerelease and you know it.
I like that they’re pulling some obscure titles from their back catalog (something perhaps Nintendo can learn from…) but I’ve yet to pick up one of these collections that really interests me.

Re: Octopath Traveler 2 Characters - Hero Jobs And Abilities
Standard job/class stuff really. Would like to see a bit more innovation here.
Re: Every Upcoming First-Party Nintendo Switch Game
@YoshiF2 Maiden of Black Water rerelease wasn’t published by Nintendo, so I’m only guessing it’ll be the same with this?
Re: Superb Shmup Radiant Silvergun Is Getting A Physical Release On Switch
@Zenszulu see my comment above. No one needs to pay extravagant eBay prices if you just preorder it before 13th November… It’s that simple.

Re: UK Charts: NieR:Automata And No Man's Sky Switch Ports Make Decent Debut
I’m sure the Xenoblade 3 Collectors Edition would be here if:
1. It contained the software
2. There were actually more than 100 or so copies of it
Re: Bellibolt The Electric Frog Is The Newest Addition To Pokémon Scarlet And Violet
@Tyranexx I suppose she does. They really nailed her portrayal as one of the irritating, false and useless members of society. 🙄
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Collector's Edition Pre-Orders Are Available Again (EU)
What the actual f***. How were we supposed to know it was going back up for order? Last I heard they had removed the listing completely from the site so it wasn’t even possible to check for stock.

Re: Bellibolt The Electric Frog Is The Newest Addition To Pokémon Scarlet And Violet
F**k me, this is the first video I’ve watched featuring that gym leader and she is sooooo annoying.
Re: Here's What's Coming In Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Expansion Pass Wave 2
The new hero does look a little weak (I think it’s that skinny neck, I’m not sure) and sounds like she might be kinda annoying 😪
Re: Here's What's Coming In Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Expansion Pass Wave 2
@Koffyman why do you literally always write this when you talk about Xenoblade? It’s like copied and pasted from other articles.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Collector's Edition Is Finally Available To Pre-Order, If You Can Access The Site
I’ve been refreshing my emails on and off since 20th September when their initial email said they would open orders “very soon”.
They then send this one out 2 minutes after I entered a meeting for work which lasted an hour. So of course I missed it. Absolutely shocking man, such bad service.

Re: Persona 3 Portable & Persona 4 Golden Arrive On Nintendo Switch January 2023
@MidySeaCloud chill out fs. There may not be a physical release confirmed yet, but no one has said there’s definitely not a physical release either…
Re: Random: Modder Creates Stunning Portable SNES, And We Want One
Yeah they already made a portable SNES thing. They exist.
Re: Game Boy Advance Metroidvania 'Goodboy Galaxy' Is Delayed Into 2023
@SteamEngenius because you know all about the ins and outs of game development, I’m sure. Not even including the fact that all projects are different.
Re: Random: There's Something Missing From The Mario Movie Poster, And The Internet Has Noticed
Sake, I wrote this first on the poster article. Didn’t think anyone else noticed.

@Host-Migration high praise! I do like good computer games too.
The trailer made me strangely uncomfortable, does that feeling echo through the rest of the game? 😅
Re: Netflix Is Bringing Back 'Onimusha' As An Anime Helmed By Takashi Miike
Suda51 will be begging him to do No More Heroes after this (which would probably work much better as an animated project than live action anyway…)
Re: Feature: With Sales Outpacing Pokémon, Why Is Splatoon So Popular In Japan?
I dunno. Tentacle fetish? 🤷🏻♂️

The last 2 cons are extremely stupid.
Re: Random: The Pokémon Company Has No Issues With Nuzlocke Runs
This kinda got blown out of proportion eh? Imagine that happening on the internet.
Re: Random: Kit And Krysta Claim They Were Nearly Fired Over Nuzlocke Pokémon Run
Can we stop sharing Kit and Krysta stuff now? They’re so dull.
Re: Random: Reddit User Creates The Ultimate 3DS Emulator With A Steam Deck
@EarthboundBenjy but it’s an emulator, so, presumably, they can play any 3DS game available on that.
Re: Konami Is Bringing Suikoden I & II Back With HD Remasters On Switch Next Year
Unexpected, but welcome news.
Re: Yakuza Dev Still Doesn't Think Switch Is The Right Platform For The Series
I would rather have a port of Devil’s Third than Yakuza now. That’s pretty ‘underground’ right?

Re: Fire Emblem Engage Unites New And Returning Characters, Out Next January
I didn’t anticipate a new Fire Emblem game so soon 😭 excellent stuff.
Re: Square Enix Is Now Part Of A Blockchain
NFT’s still have zero relevance in games. And if Square keep up their bad decisions, they won’t have much of a future in gaming either.

Re: Soapbox: Endless Zelda Remakes Are A Poor Substitute For Backwards Compatibility
“Endless” is most definitely an exaggeration. Maybe we should talk about Skyrim, which, again, is getting rereleased.
Re: AeternoBlade II Dev Accuses Publisher PQube Of Withholding Payments
Sucks for them, but Aeternoblade is one game I’ve never cared for. Both of them look distinctly average and they just seem to fart them out on every system possible.
Re: Treasure's "Highly Requested" Title Has Been Leaked
Absolutely called it. It’s the easiest game for them to port cause of the 360 version so why not! Will be picking up day one.

@Tangerine I forgot Netflix had a gaming division. No disrespect to yourself of course, but you’re literally the only person I’ve heard mention it!
