I think im just a little over halfway through with story. I play 1 or 2 missions a day. I would not say its a bad game, I would say it needs a few more things to be great. Gunplay has potential but is indeed missing something like a cover system as the review says but enemies are extremely mobile and may outpace or flank you so giving players the rechargeable forcefield fits better.
The variety in enemy types this game throws at you is pleasing, so are character unique guns and specials although as review said its not easy hitting stuff with them.
I think inventory needs to be bigger(1 more firearm slot ) and maybe 1 more character unique action( unique dash button actions in game are cool) what if storm shadow could actually throw shurikens or he and snake eyes could grab enemies.
Im really reaching here but the way drones instantly up the challenge of a gunfight kind of make me wish the joes had smaller but unique drones. (I think scifi does but its his special)It would be great if multiplayer modes could be played solo with bots. Also the mission modifications was a cool idea.
@BeautyandtheBeer I get more out of musou anime games than anime fighters but Id totally like or in some cases prefer a non musou games.
Id love any anime game with the controls of ones justice 2 but it had the playable roster size and other good warrior elements of musou minus the repetitive 1000s of enemies.
Although I really like pirate warrior 4 controls but I dont like the shield break system.
@roy130390 I got my copy of my hero 2 for $36 so it was a nice deal considering i only payed $27 for original.
The first game is likeable and the second game is even more likable plus most retuning characters seemed to have a tune up. I say go for it for the right price because its a sequel to a decent interpretation of hero academy.
For sure though, instead of a justice 3 we should get a musou until the story ends so they don't stretch sequels out beyond infinite plus ultra.
A fighting game makes sense for a game based off new anime which seems more fighting oriented, but the 1 and only zoids switch game being a typical fighting game instead of a team based local and online fighter with more adequate sized arenas and zoid customizations is disappointing.
Zoids is at its best when you are customizing multiple zoids and trying to figure out the most effective zoid and weapon loadout for the terrain and environment and opponent zoids.
I feel like possibilities are endless with level 5 games but i also feel their games have a 1 or 2 systems too many, but i feel that way with most games though.
I like that their games often are hybrids of many concepts. Lbx is my most favorite level 5 game though it didnt go down so well. I like their creativity, I would have liked a different arpg like a musou with lbx and Yokai
Sometimes I catch 3ds fever. Last time about 2 months ago it was mario kart 7 that gave it to me. It got so bad or should I say good ,that I even switched my PlayStation tv on and played 2 games also.
8bitdo have a do it yourself classic controller mod kit or something. I wonder if they could make a do it or upkeep yourself joycon alternative or or is a joy already in an easily fixable state.
I would like a tv only device with same power as vanilla switch. Tv only device is way better idea for a budget switch than lite which i feel wastes resources but only because it doesnt connect to tv.
With same power as vanilla switch cost can be keep down and maybe a few splurges like 3ds and ds slot could be added to help capture interest.
Honestly a non pro tv dock that played 95% or all switch games and connected with pads or cells to simulate second screen for 3ds and ds games would easily be my most favorite console of all time.
Speaking of which i still feel nintendo and others killed off the 3ds prematurely, Id love an official Nintendo cell phone add on that turned cells into partial 3dses or 4dses or 5gdes. Assimilation!
@RushDawg. Of course it would not end the world. Of course the dlc is cheap but we are talking about very little room the dlc would perhaps require so it would make absolutely no since for a big company like sega to troll us like that.
@DarkTron. If it truly is as listing and you suggest plus everything is on cart then this is excellent news and this will be a must have purchase for me next month. Honestly i wish more companies especially those who enter inflated stock price would rerelease their games and bundle them to increase appeal like this.
Referring to other games by inflated price comment.
Appealing offer but only if both are completely on cart and mania comes with dlc. No dlc on mania is enough to comepletly ruin this package and sells and based on the packaging this is likely.
Female action figures to play as and a demo were some of the things i hoped they added and they did. Great game with even greater features, its so rare you to find people that offer such rich features like nintendo or the arms game makers.
Once they make single player more approachable with tomagachi and happy meal pets lol to aid you in battle while playing solo itll be perfect.
@Valtiel wait koei tecmo made this, triple picard facepalm,(referring to something I said in my original post not knowing KT made or published game)and its still not warriors game, quadruple Worf facepalm.
Still interested but disappointed that two of my most wanted game franchises decided on shaky foundations. Fairy tail as jrpg isnt a bad idea but come on fairy tail needs to be a co op action for max appeal.
A warriors style or hunter lite game would have been more appealing for me. That said the social systems and other gameplay tweaks this game adds to the game proves not every licensed game has to be made by koei tecmo and capcom.
Still I've been very disappointed this is turn based and we finally get a new zoids game but unfortunately its seems more like a fighting game than action strategy game. Pirate warriors 4 isn't perfect and doesn't run perfectly on switch but it is so fun
Sony and Microsoft intentionally made this happen with their 1upsmanship that threatens to ruin gaming. Games need to be more modest so that they can focus deliver on what really matters, quality.
70 dollar games are ridiculous when day 1 dlc is never going to end, microtransactions are not going to stop, games are still going to ship with game breaking bugs, and consoles themselves may not even outlast those pricey games.
Games need to take a step back they doing too much and not exactly doing it well.
Im okay with a simple modest, game, i actually prefer them. Even linear games dont bother me if they come with decent enemy variety, checkpoints, co-op, multple playable characters, or side modes.
Not that this game will come with any of those features its just I wanted to say old school games can pull it off with quality features and dedication. Question is does this game have that.
I had a feeling Nintendo wanted the 3ds to die. Too bad, because it was truly a great console and could have still been today. Unwavering support and uncompromising quality is the statement Nintendo made by supporting the 3ds as long and as greatly as they did. That said blaming the 3ds and complimenting the switch lite saddens me.
I feel decisions like the switch lite is what really holding Nintendo back, releasing new hardware models without correcting previous shortcomings. When the switch 2 arrives hopefully far into the future Ill rather have optimization upgrades than power so that we arent stuck with a powerful console thats broken and still hasnt solved the joycon crisis.
As a handheld loving gamer I find joycon concept on a handheld ingenius. It not only changes the game but extends the life of the system by being replacable, lol if only the joycons could not die before the console every single time.
It would be awesome if we had a zoids game like the one on gamecube that allowed customization and you to control zoids. Game was pretty good action interpretation of zoids with bit and van both having their own story/modes of sorts.
My only complaint was there was no zoid swapping for 2 on 2 fights and non of the story modes offered local co-op which would have been a godsend.
Really hope this gets localized and releases on switch. Also more of a longshot but if this also had local co --op andor a battle mode it would be perfect.
Switch needs ports, but it needs other things too.
I feel strongly that licensed games are just as important as ports. Why Chase Sony and Microsoft coattails for the weakest version when a licensed exclusive can run perfectly because it is built ground up on the switch strengths?
Nintendo needs to let switch's lifespan ride out so that when it's finally time to move on the user base isn't fractured, the new console doesn't only last only an hour before overheating because the cost and design of tech just isn't there yet, it doesn't ship with broken joycons, it doesn't not connect to Bluetooth headphones, it doesn't not allow simple and stable chat features.
I dont think a pro console or handheld is a good idea. Switch just found its stride and has entered into its golden years, now is the time to experiment with new software franchises and turn old franchises into new cash avenues once again.
Mid console power update prevents that by dividing the userbase and crippling loyalty. Do i think a non pro tv only switch is the quickest and best way to get a switch in every house, yes, but only as a back up switch or true budget switch option.
If a true budget switch or switch base can fuse with og switch for twice the power then make it for a specific feature only like augmented reality games.
It's the switch base which the switch was supposed to come out with but didn't because it was too much a risk possibly.
The base will serve as a standalone tv only switch for a fraction of the price but if the purchasers already own a switch it can be docked to utilize both consoles hardware, however the base is exactly the same horsepower as the last non life revision and utilizes its lower energy consuption.
I'm really interested in A R but mostly as a separate and independent a screen as opposed to augmented on reality combo.
Just imagine how cheap and immersive it would for two players local to each have their own glasses and by default screen in a First person shooter like outbreak and left for dead. What about star Fox with visuals ported to both players at glasses. Not immersive as virtual reality but just as good when bundle with great software, separate a screen local co-op and hd rumble.
#1 More switch games the more games the more viable switch is as a essential console for every household.
#2 No pro console. Pro console would divide the userbase and divide resources for both versions of the console. Nintendo should improve the console without improving power.
#3 Choices when releasing new console version. The lite only offers better portability but screws you with permanent joycons and no tv switching. if nintendo going to release a another switch version make sure its actually worth it by adding features actually worth it like easy battery replacement, better chat and audio features, durable joycons. If a lesser console is going to be released give it actual purpose like a tv only box that is more durable at only a third or fourth of the price of the og or best switch versions.
#4 Limited switch exclusives. Games dont even have to be permanent execlusives, they just have to start and launch firsts on switch so that the switch only features are maximized and the switch can more easily carve its own path instead of try to play catch hp with ports from other consoles.
Despite the haters marvel ultimate alliance 3 is a good example of why nintendo needs games made exclusively for the switch if only originally so that the games features can shine and not only be second or third best.
Nintendo needs to more agreesively hunt certain producers and franchises to ensure switch version is the best lr most unique version.
There is a gray area. Nintendo switch the grey. It and its fellowship of the switch developers have but one mission to create versitle games on the most versitle handheld. Their mission is not an easy one but should they succeed, gaming may yet still hold a future.
Nintendo dont ruin what you got. Keep the switch simple the userbase united, and the waters calm.
Fix current switch shortcomings before you create a whole new list of probem by flying to close to the sun in search of more power.
@CrazyZelda79 Yeah I agree, damaged controllers would kill the console prematurely. Even if it allowed you to sync other controllers imagine hauling around the damaged un-removeable ones forever.
What about those supplemental computing/processing devices Nintendo Patented a while back.
If they made them small & affordable enough, wireless, and very compatible with the Nintendo Switch wirelessly(and it was safe health wise as well as technologically possible) then physical Switch VR games could come with local Processing boosters or Game/VR Cubes. (or they could be sold seperately, also linked cable connections could be available and optional)
The VR cubes could also come with their own rechargeable batteries so that they are portable like the switch, granted powerful components might burn through battery quickly and require sufficient cooling but if Nintendo could produce them and sell them at a reasonable price then it could be a way to optionally push the switch into VR should it catch the switch user's fancy or they decide to make the investment. So maybe if possible, playstation VR level quality or lower but with the added benefit of optionally wireless syncing, portability, and cheaper affordability.
Size would be important, if they could shrink VR cube down to half the size of the gamecube or more maybe it could work. If the VR cube only provided modest additional power (lowest possible processing boost to Switch's own processing capabilities for VR games) then maybe overheating and affordability would be more managable.
@SuperGhirahim64 I think they should wait a year or two and collect data on how well the switch is doing and how many games are being made for it by major third parties so as to not disrupt it by what I"m about to suggest but............
I'd dig a 4ds that played 3ds and original ds games and native 4ds games. Especially if the weaker 4ds games allowed players to seperate/snap on snap off the top and bottom screens for some nintendo switch style local co-op gaming. I'd also think like to see switch joy con reused as controllers for the top and bottom 4ds screens as well as touch screen for both screens as well.
Nice try! I never thought about it until now, but I feel Kirby is more likely to be releated to the space creature from the movie Life who tissues act as sensor, muscle, and neurons all at once.
Personally I would have like to see Resident evil mercenaries 2, Battle Network 3ds, and 2d castlevanias or even remake/collection of the GBA era castlevanias.
A new but traditional Breath of fire for the 3ds wouldn't have hurt either or the last monster hunter getting localized like it did overseas. Which @shadowmoon522 if I"m not mistaken had connectivity with its switch counterpart overseas.
Love my 3ds. Still house to some of my most favorite games ever and a legendary machine all a round. @TenEighty I agree. Throwing away the 3ds isn't going to solve all the switch's problem.
I know the 3ds has lived a long fuffilling life but must everyone constanly yell for the death of a gaming great that has more than earned whatever breeze that blows its way.
I hope Nintendo doesn't ruin the perfect storm by dividing the userbase with another switch before its time. Let the current switch shine and let the software and the switch's unique hardware capabilities do the talking.
Nintendo knows they own some of the most beloved franchises and characters. They just need to continue flexing their first party muscles and keep delievering hits while also breaking new ground by exploring new experiences and characters as well as as taping into old characters and franchises.
Though unlikely imagine if they managed to nab exclusives like left 4 dead 3, half life 3, and Resident evil Outbreak 3 and took the extra step to make the exclusives unique by adding optional motion controls, hd rumble, and local wireless(and of course localsplitcreen).
There's still so much left for them to do and learn on the current switch before jumping into the next version too early like create fzero, animal crossing, pikmin, mother, golden sun, kid icarus, metroid, and star tropic sequels everyone has been dying to have.
I'm excited about ultimate alliance 3. I'd rather get it and/or x men legends 3 than ports anyways. Ports of old games are very welcome too, but I'd rather they move the series forward with a sequel like this.
I have never been bothered by the graphics of ultimate alliance or legends games, besides when it comes to ultimate alliance games I'm to busy losing it over hulk and thing team ups(or in the case of this new game) hulk and drax team ups. I wonder if drax will be one of those beserker type characters like hulk and wolverine were?
@SheldonRandoms ohhhh fred is the ...................leg...........................guy. My leg guy in the game would be pretty swell, everytime someone bumps into or hits his car, mmmmmmyyyyyyyy llllllleeeeeeeggg. And if we're lucky, game over man game over, but I think that's a totally different guy....perhaps?
Still looking forward to this, some of my most favorite cartoon characters in one game. I know its not going to be mario kart level quality but just hoping it fun enough to enjoy and possibly lead to a bigger and better sequel.
@sikthvash I think F:3 and F: NV are great fits for the switch too, and if those other fallout developers who still want to make fallout games want to make new games then bethesda should let them have it but on the switch for Nintendo so that bethesda themselves who also want to continue making fallout games themselves can do so on ps4,xbox one, and pc and beyond.
@SheldonRandoms while the show regulars like patrick, squidward, spongebob, and his ole gal sandy are definitely the most obvious and best picks, i wouldn't mind mermaid man and barnacle boy, seeing as we actually see them drive a few times.
I second Dr. Luigi. I'm glad that made luigi his own character with his own moveset, but I miss the days of smash 64 when his moveset was identical to mario with the exception of an up smash attack that set foes on fire.
If Dr. luigi makes it in I want it to truly be a echo fighter of mario and mirror his speed and moveset.
Beyblade games can be fun when simple. A gamer buddy suprised me during gamecube era when we played their beyblade game on gamecube it was interesting but so are GBA games that are thankfully still real time action under your control but with a similar approach to the customization similar to pokemon in approach. GOTTA RIP EM ALL. TYSON: LEEETTT IIITTTTT RIIIIIPPPPP!
Cranky and funky possibly as an echo fighter would be cool. Smash went so long with just one donkey kong representative its very cool to imagine more representatives.
I'm hoping the belmont rumors are true. Also smash is so cool, yeahs its the ultimate roster mixup of your favorite first party and third party characters but its much deeper than that and geniunely such a refined and quality experience.

Re: Review: G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout - Bland, Forgettable Saturday Morning Fare
I think im just a little over halfway through with story. I play 1 or 2 missions a day. I would not say its a bad game, I would say it needs a few more things to be great. Gunplay has potential but is indeed missing something like a cover system as the review says but enemies are extremely mobile and may outpace or flank you so giving players the rechargeable forcefield fits better.
The variety in enemy types this game throws at you is pleasing, so are character unique guns and specials although as review said its not easy hitting stuff with them.

@roy130390 I got my copy of my hero 2 for $36 so it was a nice deal considering i only payed $27 for original.
The first game is likeable and the second game is even more likable plus most retuning characters seemed to have a tune up. I say go for it for the right price because its a sequel to a decent interpretation of hero academy.
For sure though, instead of a justice 3 we should get a musou until the story ends so they don't stretch sequels out beyond infinite plus ultra.

If they made them small & affordable enough, wireless, and very compatible with the Nintendo Switch wirelessly(and it was safe health wise as well as technologically possible) then physical Switch VR games could come with local Processing boosters or Game/VR Cubes. (or they could be sold seperately, also linked cable connections could be available and optional)
The VR cubes could also come with their own rechargeable batteries so that they are portable like the switch, granted powerful components might burn through battery quickly and require sufficient cooling but if Nintendo could produce them and sell them at a reasonable price then it could be a way to optionally push the switch into VR should it catch the switch user's fancy or they decide to make the investment. So maybe if possible, playstation VR level quality or lower but with the added benefit of optionally wireless syncing, portability, and cheaper affordability.
Size would be important, if they could shrink VR cube down to half the size of the gamecube or more maybe it could work. If the VR cube only provided modest additional power (lowest possible processing boost to Switch's own processing capabilities for VR games) then maybe overheating and affordability would be more managable.
Re: Nintendo Will Continue To Sell The 3DS, As Long As There Is Consumer Demand For It
@SuperGhirahim64 I think they should wait a year or two and collect data on how well the switch is doing and how many games are being made for it by major third parties so as to not disrupt it by what I"m about to suggest but............
I'd dig a 4ds that played 3ds and original ds games and native 4ds games. Especially if the weaker 4ds games allowed players to seperate/snap on snap off the top and bottom screens for some nintendo switch style local co-op gaming. I'd also think like to see switch joy con reused as controllers for the top and bottom 4ds screens as well as touch screen for both screens as well.
Re: Random: It Turns Out That Kirby Has A Skeleton
Nice try! I never thought about it until now, but I feel Kirby is more likely to be releated to the space creature from the movie Life who tissues act as sensor, muscle, and neurons all at once.
Re: Talking Point: Come In Nintendo 3DS, Your Time Is Up
Personally I would have like to see Resident evil mercenaries 2, Battle Network 3ds, and 2d castlevanias or even remake/collection of the GBA era castlevanias.
A new but traditional Breath of fire for the 3ds wouldn't have hurt either or the last monster hunter getting localized like it did overseas. Which @shadowmoon522 if I"m not mistaken had connectivity with its switch counterpart overseas.
Re: Talking Point: Come In Nintendo 3DS, Your Time Is Up
Love my 3ds. Still house to some of my most favorite games ever and a legendary machine all a round. @TenEighty I agree. Throwing away the 3ds isn't going to solve all the switch's problem.
I know the 3ds has lived a long fuffilling life but must everyone constanly yell for the death of a gaming great that has more than earned whatever breeze that blows its way.
Re: Talking Point: What's Next For Nintendo After Switch?
I hope Nintendo doesn't ruin the perfect storm by dividing the userbase with another switch before its time. Let the current switch shine and let the software and the switch's unique hardware capabilities do the talking.
Nintendo knows they own some of the most beloved franchises and characters. They just need to continue flexing their first party muscles and keep delievering hits while also breaking new ground by exploring new experiences and characters as well as as taping into old characters and franchises.
Though unlikely imagine if they managed to nab exclusives like left 4 dead 3, half life 3, and Resident evil Outbreak 3 and took the extra step to make the exclusives unique by adding optional motion controls, hd rumble, and local wireless(and of course localsplitcreen).
There's still so much left for them to do and learn on the current switch before jumping into the next version too early like create fzero, animal crossing, pikmin, mother, golden sun, kid icarus, metroid, and star tropic sequels everyone has been dying to have.
Re: Nintendo Unlikely To Bring Original Marvel Ultimate Alliance Games To Switch
I'm excited about ultimate alliance 3. I'd rather get it and/or x men legends 3 than ports anyways. Ports of old games are very welcome too, but I'd rather they move the series forward with a sequel like this.
I have never been bothered by the graphics of ultimate alliance or legends games, besides when it comes to ultimate alliance games I'm to busy losing it over hulk and thing team ups(or in the case of this new game) hulk and drax team ups. I wonder if drax will be one of those beserker type characters like hulk and wolverine were?
Re: Random: Castlevania Animated Series Makes Hilarious Reference To Original Game
It has to be the next to last episode of season 2 because that's the episode with the father son/final & actual confritation fight right?
Re: Konami Launches Castlevania Portal Website With Info And History - And Space For New Games?
2 new games one old style like the new bloodstainted for 3ds with multiple characters and the other new style like the gba games.
Also a complete collection would be great. I would look foward to trying the ps2 games and gba games, as well as a few of the remakes.
Re: Video: Get A First Look At Nickelodeon Kart Racers On Nintendo Switch
@SheldonRandoms ohhhh fred is the ...................leg...........................guy. My leg guy in the game would be pretty swell, everytime someone bumps into or hits his car, mmmmmmyyyyyyyy llllllleeeeeeeggg. And if we're lucky, game over man game over, but I think that's a totally different guy....perhaps?
Re: Video: Get A First Look At Nickelodeon Kart Racers On Nintendo Switch
Still looking forward to this, some of my most favorite cartoon characters in one game. I know its not going to be mario kart level quality but just hoping it fun enough to enjoy and possibly lead to a bigger and better sequel.
Re: Bethesda Has Spoken To Nintendo About Smash Bros., Future Nintendo Exclusives Are "Possible"
@sikthvash I think F:3 and F: NV are great fits for the switch too, and if those other fallout developers who still want to make fallout games want to make new games then bethesda should let them have it but on the switch for Nintendo so that bethesda themselves who also want to continue making fallout games themselves can do so on ps4,xbox one, and pc and beyond.
Re: Video: Get A First Look At Nickelodeon Kart Racers On Nintendo Switch
@SheldonRandoms while the show regulars like patrick, squidward, spongebob, and his ole gal sandy are definitely the most obvious and best picks, i wouldn't mind mermaid man and barnacle boy, seeing as we actually see them drive a few times.
Re: Video: Lots of Characters Just Won't Make It Into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
I second Dr. Luigi. I'm glad that made luigi his own character with his own moveset, but I miss the days of smash 64 when his moveset was identical to mario with the exception of an up smash attack that set foes on fire.
If Dr. luigi makes it in I want it to truly be a echo fighter of mario and mirror his speed and moveset.
Re: Check Out Beyblade Burst: Battle Zero In Action On Nintendo Switch
Beyblade games can be fun when simple. A gamer buddy suprised me during gamecube era when we played their beyblade game on gamecube it was interesting but so are GBA games that are thankfully still real time action under your control but with a similar approach to the customization similar to pokemon in approach. GOTTA RIP EM ALL. TYSON: LEEETTT IIITTTTT RIIIIIPPPPP!
Re: Poll: What Do You Want From Today's Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct?
@justin233
Cranky and funky possibly as an echo fighter would be cool. Smash went so long with just one donkey kong representative its very cool to imagine more representatives.
I'm hoping the belmont rumors are true. Also smash is so cool, yeahs its the ultimate roster mixup of your favorite first party and third party characters but its much deeper than that and geniunely such a refined and quality experience.
