@Would_you_kindly Always cautious about this site's Nintendo IP reviews. It's like 1.5 points too high on average.

I play regularly on my PS5, definitely didn't take 5 minutes to find matches prior to yesterday. It is clearly a server issue with the onslaught of FTP folks coming in.

I don't understand how folks can find this game so difficult? OBVIOUSLY, the first rounds are chaotic--there are 60 players there homie, but after that you should be able to handle yourself just fine with a little bit of luck. The chaos is not unlike Mario Kart or Mario Party. Dark Souls is not an easier game, to the clown that said that.

Personally, I think this is the best they could've done on Switch's rough hardware. ~60 players at once on a Switch? This is exactly what's going to happen on Nintendo hardware. I mean, look at POKEMON UNITE's low-req GFX, which runs smoother in the menu on mobile. But hey, at least OLED users have a brighter screen!

Little worrisome as this game doesn't even run consistently well on the PS5 even (I haven't played since completing it a few days after it launched though). And the gfx were on the low low half.

Excited for this, but will they finally utilize the invite feature on the Switch?!

These are starting to be a little more exciting only for people who don't have other consoles or really only play Nintendo AAA titles. The Fatal Frame on Wii U was not good (very clunky, kind of silly storyline) but it did provide a few scares. Danganronpa is great but sooooo old. And y'all already know the deal with the rereleases.

Mario Party (even though, again, remade old content) at least looks like it could be fun. And they decided to join 2014 and make it online at launch.

Played this on Wii U... it's one of the weakest titles in the series, but does provide an occasional scare.

I don't know how this series stuck around. It was a huge buggy mess!

Erm, not to be dramatic, but the game is BARELY playable. I know they worked hard on it, but it just wasn't it... Not recommended.

Finally completed the entire game. Excellent story, but will admit it does drag a bit after you get enough skills. I highly recommend using a guide once you get stuck (and you will).

@MindfulGamer The Japanese title reads "Gu-No-S(h)i-a" so I think the G is pronounced.

@JR150 Unfortunately, The game looks terrible on PC and PS4, and what you see right now is already quite close. It also RUNS terribly on console platforms (I play almost week day). The game will not look any better than what you see.

@Gen0neD Exactly! thank u, next, NES.

Birdo was originally referred to as a "boy" who thinks he's a "girl." BIRDO FOR SMASH!

HW is terrible , but will sell anyway. (Y'all talking about the GAMEPLAY is good and the story is HIT OR MISS? C'mon now.)

DK: TF is an AMAZING platformer and definitely deserves a second chance. That being said, it feels like a lot of these announcements are just returning Switch games...

Give us a new 3D world!

No game-sharing = no multiple consoles bro

Pretty, but repetitive.

...Was Hyrule Warriros any more than mindless button mashing? I'm fairly sure there was almost no strategy that went in. Hoping this one will be much better; sounds like it is already.

Actual notes on changes! Good for them. They need to do that kind of thing for Smash. "Improved gameplay" or whatever that garbage they put as an update.

@Aerona "Pokemon Go Fest didn't even sound worth it if everything went according to plan."

The only necessary comment. Including this one.

Hyrule Warriors got boring very quickly; hopefully there'll be a bit more strategy to this then tilting your joystick and mashing a button again and again...

PSN's prices to tend drop as the retail versions drop. They never cost more at launch, that's for damn sure. Also, their sales aren't like "10% off" of like $5 like the eShop. Today there's a "play anime" sale and things are like 75% off.

eShop needs to get. it. together.

We deserve an apology for that main title theme.

Always glad to see a sale, but it is pale in comparison to what PSN is offering.

He said me haffi PORT, PORT, PORT, PORT, PORT, PORT. He see me do mi PORT, PORT, PORT, PORT, PORT, PORT.

Uyuyuyy. More amiibo. How about a quality game or two this year?

Let's hope the matchmaking is decent... and perhaps they'd like to let us know what the level of connection is?

@Yosher Agreed. I was like, "Oh, okay."

Those items listed are pushing that single tweet waaaaaaaaay too far. And how could FLUDD be a new best buddy? Folks are reaching way too far.

Hopefully they're NEW characters, none of this Wolf B.S.. Ugh god, no more cheesy Sonic characters, please.

I think, realistically, these characters may enter the fray in order of likelienss:

Inkling (for sure, it's their new IP!)
King K. Rool
Dixie Kong
Tetra
Crystal
Lana/Cia
Tom Nook
Birdo

@ShadJV LOL

@gatorboi352 I feel like the rotation is so stages and modes aren't underutilized.

Okay, cool, but what games are we even going to be using these for? Just Smash? Not enough games to warrant an amiibo purchase...

Yes!!!

Palutena's laggy lagness could definitely use some buffs. Homegirl is "powerful," just not very effective. Also get rid of that Fox infinite. xoxo

More Secret of Mana!

That doesn't look romantic at all.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! I just got off a For Glory kick. Glad this didn't happen to me. NINTENDO, get on it! Thanks for reporting. Woof!

I love me some Zefron. Woof.

Oh man. I'm going to have to delete my games for now to make room, and then get a hard drive

I currently have Pikmin 3, NSMBU, Mario 3D World, Shovel Knight, Wii Party U, Ducktales, and Bayonetta. Woof! HARD DRIVE NOT BIG ENOUGH.

@Yorumi It takes about five seconds for them to start running, and I don't know how you are comparing it to other games, but it takes far too long to get to points where I need to 'immediately' aid.

I'd love more spinoffs--they just need to be a little more polished than HW. (Have you seen what the characters look like when they die? Their eyes are wide open). Also, HW gets pretty close to BUSY WORK (like running at 2 mph). I do admire it for its large amount of incoming DLC.

@manu0 Hahahaha

Hyrule Warriors DLC details
Mario Kart 8 DLC details
More Smash details (?)
Captain Toad details
Persona Q details

I was reading the date and thought "May 11th?"
AMERICANS, AM I RIGHT?

That was a cute commercial, but that game is going to have terrible dialogue, and we all know it.

I haven't purchased a 3DS just for this. I really wanted that Persona Q-themed 3DS, but...

I'm not one of those extreme reviewers. This game would easily earn a spot as a 10/10 in my book. Such a great platformer. DKC 3 would get a 8 or 9 for me. But man, this is totally a 10.

Just nabbed them!

The Wii U is pretty low-priced comparably. I think it'll hold up well in the Holiday season. People WILL buy it just for Smash, especially after comparing the prices with the other two systems.

Oh, that's great! I was hoping they would be updating to try to balance people ala Tekken/SF/MVC (although Capcom is not so great at it...).

Fantastic. Hopefully we'll get a little info on the balance changes. There should never be a gigantic gap between the lowest-tier character and the highest-tier character, and hopefully they'll make sure that difference is a minimal as possible.

Are there connection strength icons in the lobby? I'm not trying to have a Mario Kart 8 debacle (unless that's not how it works). There always seems to be one person who enters the fray, and all of a sudden I can't stop the item box lottery.

Hoping to avoid poor connections in Smash.
