@Expa0 This is my exact feelings. I am in no way a hardcore fan like many other but I have a good collection of Pkmn games. Dex size means very little to me, a fun story and plenty to do in game is what matters.
The throwback Pikachu is rad and Charizard look awesome too (even if overdone). Butterfree and Meowth are nice too. Hopefully more than just gen 1 gets these.
"Yeah, I've been waiting for this." So happy to finally hear it's on the way. Summer was too busy of a time for me anyways so a winter release sounds perfect. Can't wait to return to this series.
@astrofan1993 Yessir, my comment to my friend as soon as that appeared on screen "hey look you can finally play as Tien". They knew what they were doing.
@Mando44646 I have to ask as I don't really get this mentality, what does being an indie have to do with anything? A $40 dollar price tag for a fun game with lots of content sounds totally fair, what difference does it make who made it?
Holy crap I didn't realize July was game month for me: God Eater 3, next week, Ultimate Alliance 3, next week, Fire Emblem 3 Houses. Not to mention my backer set for Bloodstained will probably arrive July 1st!
So glad to see a review of this great game on here. The exposure will be great for making SRW big worldwide. I imported day 1; I got hooked a good while ago on this series. A friend and I make it a point to watch at least a handful of the series represented everytime a new SRW is announced.
I was planning to get this on Switch but practically none of my friends are so for once I chose another system. On the subject of $100 premium....ugh. Like I hate it, but it's no different from every other fighting game now. So whatever, I'll buy the dlc someday...maybe. Definitely not day 1.
I keep wanting to take a vacation in Japan and stuff like this really strokes the fire . Curse my circumstances; I would love to waste time on grabbing tickets to potentially win some of these. I need more Kirby merch, as all I have currently is a little plush I found at a convention.
Man, MK will always been at it's best when it's being goofy and doesn't take itself seriously. This story mode is gonna be very fun, and there's gonna be plenty of unlockable content to satisfy me. Stay golden MK.
@ArcticFox True, but it just sounds like a bad option. Gyro controls for Splatoon were unweildly enough that I would think most people would see how poor it'd work here. I just wonder why have the option when it doesn't work well with the playstyle? Thanks for chiming in tho ArcticFox.
@R1spam Given this is made by the mind behind Armored Core I highly doubt the only was to get new parts is by loot pick ups. Plus, the hub had areas that were sealed off so very likely one of those is a shop.
Also, why does everyone want this gyro aiming? Given the pace of this game it sounds like a horrible idea.
What a dream come true this'll be if they keep up the good work.
I was concerned about how slow my mech was but I can already see pilot upgrades and a few part changes made a world of difference when boosting.
I would highly recommend they work on identfying other machines on the map. I ended up shooting at teammates sometimes thinking they were enemies and the minimap feels like it doesn't show all nearby enemies sometimes.
I know y'all don't really care about my opinions but if I don't get a survey I'm just yelling at the wind here.
"If you haven't really kept tabs on this upcoming release"
Poor souls have been missing out. Bloodstained is going to be a gem, and I am so hyped for my physical edition to arrive in the mail with that beautiful slipcover.
I don't really want to import but EU def has the better special edition. Pins over a tiny calender, and a USB over a CD considering that my current laptop doesn't have a cd drive.
@Heavyarms55 I agree, and while your statement is true I do want to point out one thing. Most past MK games have been on Nintendo consoles, with the Gamecube version of Deception even having exclusive characters. So I think it's particularly interesting that most people happen to forget that when they claim Nintendo doesn't cater to mature players.
@StephenYap3 Spot on. Difficulty in the main campaign of Kirby games is the last thing I care about. I appreciate they added stuff like the Heroes in Another Dimension for some challenge.
And likewise, Smash has definitely been hogging my switch since december.
For everyone complaining about gameplay, there was a PV released just a week ago. Go watch that.
Game is looking amazing with it's cast. Love just about everything here, and I plan to watch all the series I'm unfamiliar with alongside my best bud that also loves mechs now. And as soon as we have a date I will be preordering the Asia version for Switch.
@Ooyah I felt the series lost a bit if it's charm after the first one. Therefore, by the time I played Beautiful Katamari I was probably already biased against it.
Rolling up planets in space does sound rad, I don't recall doing that in the first one.
Kinda surprised to see people debating what was the most challenging and frustrating Kirby game, yet no one has said Kirby's Adventure. Maybe it's more of a case of being frustrating than actually hard, but that's the only game I couldn't finish. And I've played all the platformer Kirby games.
On another note, I love Star Allies. It's easy yet still enjoyable. Arena was a fun ride, and all the unlockable content plus free dlc have made this game a great addition the series imo.
@RadoGoji I feel similarly, however I get it for Ultimate. They likely cut a few things here and therr to make sure the game was out holiday 2018. Gotta keep that Switch momentum going. And knowing Sakurai it couldn't have been anything bigger than a few characters cut. So a few characters as dlc is ok by me, this time.
@Blizzia Oh I see now. Well, alright, that's what you'd like to see. Personally, I don't care much either way if they use a character with a lot of personality because it's Smash. You barely get a chance to see that personality stand out. Heck, though I know you think of her as a boring FE character, Lucina is very quirky yet we see none of that in her moves or dialog. FE just isn't the series I'd look to in Smash for loads of quirks, but that's just me. I respect your desire for a "better" FE rep regardless.
@Blizzia Robin is very different from his other FE reps....how is he generic? No one else in the game plays like him, and I'm pretty sure this is just a salt induced comment.
That said, sure, I do agree that I wanna see a non weapon weilding character if we get another FE rep. Something like a sorceror or manakete.
@kopaka Yeeees, same here! Smash usually ignores canon power levels but this worked out great. Only other characters that may have been able to escape was Super Sonic (not present and also not as strong as Archie Super Sonic) and Metaknight, but he didn't have a warp star to escape on.

Re: New Trailer And Release Date For Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX
This is definitely a day 1 buy. So glad to see more of my 3ds favourites continue on Switch.
Re: Guide: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For June And July
Holy crap I didn't realize July was game month for me:
God Eater 3, next week, Ultimate Alliance 3, next week, Fire Emblem 3 Houses. Not to mention my backer set for Bloodstained will probably arrive July 1st!
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th May (North America)
@ChemyNoSurfea Oh, didn't see it there. Thank you!
Re: Reminder: Castlevania Anniversary Collection Is Available Now, And Here's The Full List Of Games
Hmm, I like the Castlevanias offered here but I don't love them. I'm definitely more of a Metroidvania guy.
Debating on when I wanna get this collection!
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th May (North America)
@RandomLeo00 Bless you. I need all three.
Also, are we not getting Guilty Gear along with Accent Core???
Re: Review: Super Robot Wars T - Enjoyable Tactical Mecha Goodness For Returning Fans And Newcomers Alike
So glad to see a review of this great game on here. The exposure will be great for making SRW big worldwide.
I imported day 1; I got hooked a good while ago on this series. A friend and I make it a point to watch at least a handful of the series represented everytime a new SRW is announced.
Re: Gallery: Capcom Shares First Batch Of Devil May Cry Nintendo Switch Screenshots
@Gs69 Yeah, and I know back in the day it was partially IGN's fault no one played it.
Anyways, GET ON IT CAPCOM. Give us Godhand!
Re: Neo Geo's Gunlord X Blasts Onto Switch In Just Two Weeks
Dude this looks awesome! Sad I never played it on Dreamcast.
This'll def scratch the itch until SNK shows off the new Metal Slug.
Re: Video: Fan Recreates Smash Bros. Melee Opening With Smash Ultimate's Video Editor
This was awesome, very well done considering what is available.
Hope to see more from this creator.
Re: Gallery: Capcom Shares First Batch Of Devil May Cry Nintendo Switch Screenshots
@Gs69 Dude yes, it's one of my favourite games period. I would shamelessly buy it at $60 if they would re-release it.
Re: The Original Devil May Cry Hunts Demons On Switch This Summer
@JoeDiddley Right!? Let's get all the Clover Studio games too!
I'll probably snag this if it's $10 (I'd accept $15 if it's HD). I love DMC 1, 3, and 5 to death. I'd get em on every console I own honestly.
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd May (North America)
I'm a bit surprised no golden week sale for us. Well, save for NISA. They're looking real tempting right about now.

Re: God Eater 3 Producer Promises The Switch Version Will Be “The Same” As Other Platforms
Played the previous two GE games on Vita, so glad to see the Switch will be continuing the handheld aspect of the series.
Tried doing online with a friend in GE2 Rage Burst on PS4 and it just didn't feel the same. Also, all the dang disconnects ugh.
Re: Mortal Kombat 11 Will Have A $100 Premium Edition On Switch
I was planning to get this on Switch but practically none of my friends are so for once I chose another system.
On the subject of $100 premium....ugh. Like I hate it, but it's no different from every other fighting game now. So whatever, I'll buy the dlc someday...maybe. Definitely not day 1.

Re: SNK's Samurai Shodown Reboot Slashes Its Way Onto Switch In Q4 2019
Yes! Been waiting to hear more about this for months now. So glad to know I'll be playing this on Switch too.
My first fighting game ever was Samurai Shodown 1 so this is a beloved series for me. Now SNK, make a new Metal Slug please.
Re: Video: New Mortal Kombat 11 Story Trailer Confirms Three More Fighters
@Trikeboy He's dead story wise, so O'd confidently bet that Shao Kahn is just a bonus and not a story character locked out as dlc.
Re: Video: New Mortal Kombat 11 Story Trailer Confirms Three More Fighters
Still curious as to why we haven't seen Switch gameplay yet. I'm confident in it so I haven't canceled my preorder, but it does make me wonder.
Glad to see Cassie and Erron Black are back.
Re: Reminder: Nintendo Sending Out Survey About Daemon X Machina Demo
@ArcticFox True, but it just sounds like a bad option. Gyro controls for Splatoon were unweildly enough that I would think most people would see how poor it'd work here. I just wonder why have the option when it doesn't work well with the playstyle?
Thanks for chiming in tho ArcticFox.
Re: Reminder: Nintendo Sending Out Survey About Daemon X Machina Demo
@R1spam Given this is made by the mind behind Armored Core I highly doubt the only was to get new parts is by loot pick ups. Plus, the hub had areas that were sealed off so very likely one of those is a shop.

Re: Video: Get Over Here And Watch More Footage Of Mortal Kombat 11
