I want nothing but for this company to go under. The year long shipping delays are one thing, but on top of that, they straight up LIE to their customer's faces FLAT OUT on a CONSTANT basis. I ordered their Turrican games physically for almost 200 dollars, because their ceo and the listing on the website said the physical cartridge version would be the only medium the turrican anthology collections would be released on, whereas digital storefronts would simply get the inferior Turrican Flashback. So I waited almost 2 YEARS for the things to arrive in my mailbox, and when i FINALLY got them, literally less then 2 days afterwards they silently dropped the Turrican Anthologies onto the switch eshop despite LITERALLY SAYING PRIOR that they would only EVER be released on cartridge and they had no plans to go digital with them. They did this with the Wonder Boy collection too, and in fact were so bad with keeping promises with their Asha in Monster world release, that they straight up lost the rights to selling it and the game (with the bonus of the og monster world iv being playable they originall promised as "exclusive" to their physical version) instead became widely purchaseable on Amazon and other outlets under a different publisher who actually knows what they're doing. I can respect wanting to make physical versions of obscure old games and whatnot, but when you do it in this insane snake-oil-salesman-level way of straight up lying to your consumers, that's where I draw the line and begin to despise you.
@Serpenterror the marvel rivals instance was them laying off a development ASSISTANCE team, as far as we know the games main developer is still perfectly safe and sound
@Serpenterror if it clears things up for ya, all sources are pointing to this game being a metroidvania like symphony of the night, so the amounts of hits and combos enemies need are likely just due to it being early on in the game!
All I want from this is NO overt ties to Sonic Prime whatsoever. That show is a worthless pile of slop and I'd dread to see subsequent Sonic media follow in its footsteps.
Both of these suck lmao, it’s like that meme of the box arts with all the new Dante devil may cry funky mode tags on it but completely genuine, why are all 3 of the main characters combined smaller than the ratings logo alone 😂😂💀💀💀💀
As much as I like Capcom as a company for the most part, these showcases of theirs are always GENERATIONALLY bad, to the point I've made it a life goal to never tune in to a single one of them ever again. Y'all complaining about a Nintendo Direct being "mediocre" or "mid" haven't experienced jack-all until you've sat through an E3 conference where the final announcement is advertising Street Fighter V E-sports for 15 minutes💀💀💀
Watch Nintendo take this down so it doesn’t “interfere” with their 70$ port of 3d land to the switch that adds literally no new content and has certain visual effects missing from the original version and a bug that makes the game impossible in multiplayer💀
maybe if the US didn't want everymiddle-to-low working class citizen to spend hundreds of dollars on the smallest of things nowadays this wouldn't have happened, especially with the 70 dollar price increase, lmao.
@TheDreamingHawk Oh dang u made ur own review site for indie games? Is it still up and running? Cause as a heavy indie game afficianado I'd kill to see what you've covered!
Going through the """"shovelware"""" section and aside from the obvious ai mobile game slop there are a LOOOOT of genuinely passionately made games on here that werent pumped out for a cheap buck. The Squidlit games, Panic Porcupine, Murtop, Pixel Game maker series, Tomomi, it goes on and on. I'd highly recommend either scrapping or reworking this filter thing cause this could genuinely qualify for a false advertising lawsuit, or at the very least is a seriously dishonest and slimy way of going about an eshop.
@PineappleLake DUDE OMG Juiced is genuinely one of my fav 2d indie platformers like I have SO many good memories playing it back in high school on my switch and all the constant wacky boss battles and stuff, the fact the ppl at this site consider it “shovelware” is genuinely insulting and does your game a HUGE disservice imo.
@Bunkerneath gonna be real Nintendo consoles barring the GameCube and gbc/gba have always kinda had a dull color palette to them, the Nintendo entertainment system is literally just a tiny office fax machine when it comes to the colors and shape lol. Plus I’m positive there’ll be all sorts of silly fun colorful joy con designs released for the thing as it goes on.
Literally this is the most inoffensive leak I’ve ever seen and I don’t know why people are so furious at this when FAR worse incidents have been happening recently like the constant horrible attacks on insomniac games or the endless personal data leaks that plague the industry.
@Lofoten one is not entitled to sell retro games for the price of a ps5 and a new car combined either😃 ESPECIALLY in this modern climate where everything is a billion dollars now and the rich oafs in charge wanna gorge us for our money at every given chance there is NO reason I should give someone 500$ for a Super Nintendo game nowadays.
Why should I listen to the people who refuse to credit developers of their own games once they remaster them and fire people for mentioning unions on what's morally right
I could take 40 melatonins with a glass of milk after running a marathon and it still wouldn't put me to sleep as quickly as an assasin's creed port announcement
i wouldnt even hate nso sm if nintendo just actually updated their libraries instead of leaving them to collect dust for 2 years before randomly dropping 2 games and leaving, and don't pull that "oh its licensing cost issues!!!!" excuse on me either, nintendo is at their absolute richest and they were able to get massive libraries for vc back in THE 2000's with no problem. there is no excuse for this dripfeeding.
Do u think the person who spotted this made a grunt while covering their eyes before lowering their head in shame while the dkc1 bonus room fail jingle started playing
I'm so sick of this like at this point if you mess up a remaster of a game or something similar to the point it's genuinely worse than the original your team should face actual serious repercussions for it (unless it came about through crunch or exec interference obviously). Making an updated port of a game is one of the easiest things possible mesing it up is like flunking at a preschool art project like. how do you even do that.
@Anti-Matter Hearing Wicked on this site now just gives me flashbacks to that delusional maniac in the funko fusion wicked crossover announcement's comment section who would respond to everyone's comment with like 3 unique comments of his own everytime and was weirdly defensive of funko pops as a whole LMFAO
Team Ninja has always kinda been the "kid who falls asleep standing up at baseball games while occasionally waking up and catching a ball" of these action game devs. When they make something good, they make something REALLY good, but most of the time they kinda just flounder their releases and pump out games that aren't GOD-AWFUL, but are moreso just really dissapointing and mediocre. Hopefully this time around they actually have something cool up their sleeves and not another ninja gaiden master collection lol, I sure do love psp versions that remove everything that made the game fun and put in weird creepy tit physic manipulation segments in that are so out of pocket the head behind the series has to be like "are the guys working on this ok?" instead:D!!1
Why do people ALWAYS assume with stuff like this that just because theyve had stereotypes means they're just. dead. like they're gone forever theyre some cursed ancient eldritch mothdronaruian demon artifact you can't touch or else curse the human realm forever. Literally making a punch-out game without stereotypes is the easiest thing in the world, just lean into the absurdity with characters like Alice and Ape III and Mad Clown. It is such a non-issue that's insanely easy to fix and I can guarantee you that it sure ain't the reason Nintendo hasn't touched the franchise for so long, they embrace and flaunt mario enemies and baddies constantly and you could argue a lot of those goobers have the rubberhose donut lips initially popularized by menstrel shows and the like, but they still use them because it's literally a massive non issue that affects noone. The reason they likely haven't touched punch-out in so long is because they simply view it like F-Zero; a franchise they still value as part of their company, but don't see any reason to give it new entries as their other fighting style games like kirby clash, smash bros, and all the fist swinging boxing sport games are more popular. It's unfortunate, yes, but it's also just how companies work with their IPs. And it's not like Punch-Out is dead forever or smth, people were saying Metroid was dead for good during the 2010's, only for nintendo to pull the insane triple whammy with dread, prime remastered, and Prime 4 with Sylux as the main villain. I'm positive someday we'll see Punch-Out make a comeback, it's just Nintendo is more interested in doing other stuff currently. It's nothing deeper than that and it certainly isn't because of the wii game having the tamest stereotypes I've ever seen in a piece of media, that's for sure lol.
Also like. Come on now be FR. A drunk, now-long ex employee of the studio who made a wii game almost like 15 years ago now is never going to be a remotely reliable source, "My dad's friend worked as a janitor in George Lucas' mansion" level BS right there😂
everyone's like "nooo pls dont do this itll ruin it" but I trust the guys who gave us the definitive versions of 60% of the Sonic cast more with Zelda than anyone else, especially Avi "executive interference" Arad and whatever hot garbage he's cooking up for the Zelda movie😂😂😂😂
literally tells me nothing aside from "this has worlds and uh. you can walk around as a cat."
Absolute trash but I wasn't expecting anything more from a game that prides itself on being "AAA", thats like proudly proclaiming your cooking is all freeze dried factory meat lmfao
