Mixed emotions. I was really excited when I played this on the GCN but the cost to fun ratio was off. You needed 4 GCN to GBA cables, 4 GBAs, and someone from the team who was willing to carry the jar thing. So only three people really enjoyed at a time.
It was fun but for what you had to spend to get a 4 player game going, it wasn't worth it. If they fix that then it wouldn't be a big problem.
Scores would be good if there was an industry standard. Maybe use something like . That would better determine what the big picture is like. Averages hide too many things and that’s why
Scores would be good if there was an industry standard. Maybe use something like Net Promoter Score to aggregate and determine if reviews actually recommend the game or not. Averages hide too many things and that’s why am not a fan of Metacritic.
MH requires an investment from the player. I started with Tri on the Wii and couldn’t beat a Great Jaggi. It wasn’t until I properly learned how to use a lance did I progress. And that’s another thing. Finding the proper weapon for your play style takes a while as it’s a lot of trial and error. It’s good that the current game has built in tutorials per weapon.
Personally with eShop games going physical, I don't want to double dip. This game is getting a physical release and that's what I'm waiting on. Did the dev even consider that angle?
If the software got approved to do whatever it does then the problem is not with the developer. Correct me if I’m wrong, but what I know is apps get submitted for testing before they get published on the Google Play Store.
I imported the JPN version and the drum and it’s great. I thought the song list would change when they brought it overseas. I was willing to double dip if that’s the case.
Excellent value for money. Two games, high replay value, lengthy single player quest, split screen option (at least for RE:Rev2). Only downside is Rev2 is digital.
Happy that Psikyo SHMUPs are on the Switch. I used to play these on the arcade and they used up all my quarters. Definitely more than the $7.99 that I paid to get this.

Re: Valkyria Chronicles 4 - A Sublime Strategy Experience On Switch
I got the one with the tank on Amazon. I loved the demo. I hope that turn based games never go out of style.

It’s all Monster Hunter for me.

Re: Hollow Knight Godmaster DLC Is Now Available For Free, Game Also On Sale For The First Time
I bought the game on sale and I’ll definitely double dip when a physical copy is released. Need to support developers who do things right.

Re: Nine New Characters Are Joining The Fight In BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle
I’m all for additional characters but I always want a physical definitive edition. I wonder if ther will ever be one.
Re: Review: Iconoclasts (Switch eShop)
I’ve already double dipped on so many titles.
Re: Review: Iconoclasts (Switch eShop)
With so many companies making physical versions of eShop games I tend to wait. I’m almost sure that this will get a physical release.
Re: Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Summer Surprise Adds Free Blaster Master DLC And New "Jammies Mode"
I’m happy that there’s free DLC.
What disappoints me though is the recently released Shantae Physical Copy Isn’t the DEFINITIVE VERSION.
Re: Hori Announces Three New GameCube-Inspired Controllers For Nintendo Switch
I love the GCN Controller/ button layout. It’s missing one shoulder button but I can live with it.
Re: The Japanese Version Of Sonic Mania Plus Comes With A Gorgeous Mega Drive Reversible Cover
I got the Asian version an it has the soundtrack CD. I haven’t opened it though so I don’t know what the reverse cover is like.
Re: Hori's New Tabletop Switch Stand Comes With USB Ports For Accessorising On The Move
Will this be released outside of JP?
Re: Gunbird 2
Finally you can map the shoulder buttons!!!
Re: Gunbird 2
Excellent Psikyo shooter as always! Does the Switch get the special characters though?

It’s PETA.
