Don't know if I'd give it a 6, but out of all the Yakuza games I've played so far, Kiwami was my least favorite. I thought Zero was much more enjoyable in every way, and Like a Dragon was just awesome.
Wow, absolutely amazing news to see this coming out in the West. The demo is really fun to play and left me impressed. Maybe a physical release is not very likely, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Haven't played this yet myself, but from looking at gameplay, this seems very similar to another DS title, 'Go! Go! Cosmo Cops!' If you like this game, I highly recommend giving that one a shot as well, it's quite fun.
@Exerion76 Have you played Air Twister on Apple Arcade? It's from Yu Suzuki and is a lot like Space Harrier. It's not very good though, at least I didn't think so.
The Wii is still the best console when it comes to light-gun shooters. Playing House of the Dead 2, 3, and Ghost Squad on there is a lot of fun-in short bursts, of course.
I played and beat it recently. I liked it, it's a very good action game. Didn't care a whole lot for the story though. The areas also look pretty bland and generic. I wouldn't mind to see more story in Metroid games for sure, flesh Samus out a bit more. But then again, her being a silent protagonist is part and parcel of the series.
He's a very talented game designer. He's worked on the Yakuza games long enough. I just want to see something new from him, doesn't matter who he works for.
This whole joy con debacle has put a real damper on my enjoyment of the system overall. The quality and stability of the Switch itself has been disappointing. Can't tell you how many times games have crashed on me, how many times the joy-cons will just disconnect while playing in handheld mode, etc.
So how much actual storyline will this have? I'd definitely be excited if this comes to the west if it has a full-fledged story with interesting characters.
@earthinheritor Agreed. It's getting tiring calling everything a ''zelda clone'' or a ''souls-like'', etc etc. It's basically if a game has hearts for a life bar, you bet your arse it'll be called a zelda clone.
I am in love with the game so far. As for those 2 cons, I like stories in my games and don't mind reading, and in my opinion the combat is fine, certainly not clunky.

Re: Review: Yakuza Kiwami (Switch) - A Decent Port Of An Ambitious, Frustrating Game

Re: Review: Europa (Switch) – Gorgeous Ghibli-esque Art, But Very Light On Substance
If I hear ''Ghibli-esque'' or ''Ghibli inspired'' one more time, I'm gonna throw a fit. But seriously, thanks for the review.

Re: Talking Point: What's The Worst Game That You Still Love For Some Reason?
Elden Ring. I actually kind of enjoyed that game. No idea why nobody talks about it.

Re: Wizorb Brings Fantasy-Style Breakout To Switch Next Month
@koekiemonster Me too, I've been playing it recently. One of my favorite Breakout-style games, brilliant.
Re: Treasure's "Highly Requested" Title Has Been Leaked
I was hoping to see a new game. If it's just a port of the 360 version, that'd be very underwhelming.
Re: Poll: So, How Do You Pronounce 'Live A Live'?
It'll always be "LIV-ALIVE", don't care how it's supposed to be pronounced.
Re: UK Charts: Klonoa: Phantasy Reverie Series Makes A Respectable Debut
It's great to see Klonoa selling well!
Re: Gallery: First 4 Figures' 'Life Size' Samus Helmet - The Ultimate Metroid Collectable?
The visor looks cheap, would have been much cooler if it was transparent.
Re: Treasure Is Apparently Working On A "Highly Requested" Title
I thought they closed their doors! This is great to hear. I can't wait to see what they do next.
Re: Review: Biomotor Unitron - SNK's Mech-Builder Is Heavy With Arms And Retro Charms

Re: Sega Plans To Leverage More Past IP With 'Remasters, Remakes, Reboots'
Wow, maybe they'll finally do something else besides Yakuza and re-releasing Sonic 2 for the hundredth time.
Re: Review: The House Of The Dead: Remake - Control Issues Gnaw At Sega's Arcade Classic
The Wii is still the best console when it comes to light-gun shooters. Playing House of the Dead 2, 3, and Ghost Squad on there is a lot of fun-in short bursts, of course.
Re: Wreckfest Screeches Onto Switch Later This Year
@Daniel36 Played the heck out of this on PS4. One of my favorite racing games ever, just a blast to play. The physics are excellent.
Re: Wreckfest Screeches Onto Switch Later This Year
It does say ''captured on Switch'' on the bottom just for a few seconds.. I'd be very impressed if this runs well.
Re: Pocky & Rocky Reshrined Available To Pre-Order Now
@Nermannn Wondering the same thing, it really needs twin-stick controls.
Re: Random: We Need To Talk About That Street Fighter 6 Logo, Capcom
The logo is awful, but not surprising with this minimalist, soulless trend in design going on.
Re: Yoko Taro And Company Are Back With Voice Of Cards: The Forsaken Maiden
Dungeon Encounters is getting a physical release, hope this will too.
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 13.2.1 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

"Promises hours of gameplay." Day one purchase for me!
Re: Video: We Forced A Bot To Create Switch Games That Don't Exist, And Now We Wish They Did
Yoshi Experiments. The Yoshi survival horror game we never knew we wanted until now.
Re: Feature: 10 Overlooked GameCube Gems You Must Play
Kururin Squash is a delightful little gem. Great graphics, very easy to pick up and play. Great music too.
Re: Feature: 10 Overlooked GameCube Gems You Must Play
@stache13 That's probably the main reason people played it. From what I remember, the gameplay itself is pretty tedious stuff.
Re: Review: Beyond Blue - Echoes Of Endless Ocean In This Noble Effort That Never Quite Gels
@riggah I agree. I played Endless Ocean Blue World last summer and really got into it, played it for weeks. An absolute gem.
Re: Talking Point: Super Mario 3D Land Turns 10 - Was It The Best '3D' Game On 3DS?
@Arckadius Thoroughly enjoyed it too. I played in 3D through most all of it--it looks fantastic to this day.
Re: Review: Super Mario 64 - The Best Launch Game Ever Made
@EmmatheBest They should have put the DS version in HD widescreen in that collection. Would have been neat I'd say.
Re: Review: Super Mario 64 - The Best Launch Game Ever Made
Currently playing the DS version on 3DS. Never really got into the game till now!
Re: Random: Forget Dread, It's All About Metroid: Other M On Twitter Right Now
I played and beat it recently. I liked it, it's a very good action game. Didn't care a whole lot for the story though. The areas also look pretty bland and generic. I wouldn't mind to see more story in Metroid games for sure, flesh Samus out a bit more. But then again, her being a silent protagonist is part and parcel of the series.

Re: Review: FIFA 22 - Another Match Abandoned
I stick to PES 2018, still amazing.
Re: Review: FIFA 22 - Another Match Abandoned
It says 2022 on the box, that's enough for people to buy it.
Re: Dragon Quest X Offline Has Been Confirmed For Switch, Launches In Japan Next February
So how much actual storyline will this have? I'd definitely be excited if this comes to the west if it has a full-fledged story with interesting characters.
Re: Bandai Namco Is Changing Its Logo In 2022
The old Bandai Namco logo was ***** enough, but this?
I miss the old Namco logo, so stylish.
Re: Square Enix Unveils Dungeon Encounters, Directed By Hiroyuki Ito
@BlackenedHalo I did enjoy the demo for Voice of Cards, but this?
I agree, this is way too sparse. There's nothing to look at!
Re: Review: Eastward - A Creative Zelda-Like Adventure With Absolutely Killer Art

Re: Review: Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom - A Sublime Port Of An Awesome Adventure
@chipia God, I hope that is the case. They have produced some of the finest RPGs ever. Dark Cloud 2, Dragon Quest VIII, Ni no Kuni, etc.
