Honestly as Nintendo's first new IP on phones, I was excited for this game. I even had fun with it for a little while. I just don't like playing phone games, and never commit to them long. If they ever put something out on consoles, I'll definitely check it out.
Maybe it's just me, but I was hoping for a time extension on Cohozuna. I don't know if he's given more health in the higher rankings, or the load outs/my team isn't as helpful, but I can never seem to kill him in the higher ranks. We generally get close but run out of time.
I mean it's not like the point of the trailer was to go over the nitty gritty details of the game. It was just presenting broad strokes, and in that regard, it was perfectly fine.
Honestly most of the Guild games are top notch. I downloaded and played most of them back in the day. Attack of the Friday Monsters is really good though.
@Snatcher I haven't played 3 yet, but I found 2's battle system better than 1. It's honestly just personal preference, but I wouldn't write it off without trying it. And t will warm you, it does take several chapters (chapter 4 I think?) before the battle system unlocks for its full potential. A lot of complaints I've heard about it was from people who didn't make it to that part.
I honestly don't know if I've seen any of Mike's work, but after completing No More Heroes 3, I would be 100% ok with him directing. That said, I think Gunn would do an amazing job.
I would have probably gone with Ryan Reynolds over Ryan Gosling though.
Ooh I love this game. I hadn't heard of it, until I bought it on the 3DS virtual console. However I don't really want to spend that much to get a physical copy.
Honestly it's not surprising that it costs more than we gamers think. That's the consensus on a lot of things that developers do. Somehow though gamers with no development experience seem to know better than the developers.
Honestly I didn't pick one of these up, because I didn't see the point. But I was glad that it released and those who wanted it got one. If Reggie had gotten his way, I might have the same problem I had with North America not wanting to releasing the non-XL New Nintendo 3DS. (They eventually did, but either in bundles or in very miniscule amounts)
The .hack games are definitely some of my favorite, but that's more so because of nostalgia than anything. I played through both series with a buddy of mine and feel like I might revisit this on the Switch to relive those memories.
EA Sports Football Club as a name has the same energy to me as Nintendo Switch Sports. I'm not sure if that's a good thing for them, considering the vastly different target audiences.
RiME was amazing, and I heard good things about The Sexy Brutale. But the performance of both on the Switch was lacking. I only hope that this buyout helps them optimize their games better.
I always chose the grass starter, my older brother always chose the water starter, and my younger brother always chose the fire starter. It's tradition and I'm traditional.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - F-Zero: Maximum Velocity
Why are the European colors muted? The American box art is much more vibrant.

Re: Lots Of Splatoon amiibo Have Been Restocked To Coincide With Splatoon 3's Launch
I hope we get some restocks in America. I would love to get the Pearl and Marina amiibo. I missed them the first time around.

Re: Don't Worry, Nintendo Hasn't Cancelled Advance Wars For Switch
It'll probably be released late next April, only to be overshadowed by Zelda that released a few weeks after.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Mega Man X
This was the first game I ever bought with my own money, and I bought it based on box art alone. Gotta go NA/EU.
Re: Japanese Charts: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Takes The Crown With Modest Sales
Only modest sales for JoJo? This must be the work of an enemy stand.
Re: Random: Popular Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Glitch Can Get You 10,000 Arrows In Minutes
10,000 of any Arrow is amazing. Archery is OP in BotW.
Re: Poll: Is It Just Us, Or Was That Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Trailer A Little Confusing?

Re: Feature: 12 Nintendo Games That Deserve An HD-2D Remake
Would side scrollers look as good in the HD-2D style though? Octopath, Triangle Strategy, and Live A Live all had a sense of depth to them.
But I'm all for remakes of old masterpieces though.
Re: Platinum's Switch Exclusive Astral Chain Celebrates Its Third Anniversary
The "See You Again" at the end has me hopeful for the sequel.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Wave Race 64
I find it interesting that the European box art is missing the subtitle for Wave Race 64: Kawasaki Jetski.
Re: Video: Don't Forget About Attack of the Friday Monsters!
Honestly most of the Guild games are top notch. I downloaded and played most of them back in the day. Attack of the Friday Monsters is really good though.

Re: Talking Point: What's The Highlight Of Your Game Collection?
I never get rid of any game, no matter how bad it is. Because one day I might want to come back to it.
Re: Video: What Was Your First Video Game Ever?
Super Mario World. That or Link to the Past.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Special Edition - Street Fighter II
I personally like the Switch version the best. It gives you a chance to see a majority of the characters in a pretty clean presentation.
Re: Poll: So, How Do You Pronounce 'Live A Live'?
I always thought it was liv a laiv until the Direct where I heard someone pronounce it. Now I try to pronounce it laiv alaiv.

Oh yeah. This game looked really good. I'm hoping it'll be fun.
Re: Random: A No More Heroes Movie Directed By James Gunn? That's Suda51's Choice

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #96 - Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
North America. But only because they didn't give Kirby the angry eyes.
Re: Reggie Thought Metroid: Other M Would Be A 'Defining Moment' For The Franchise
I loved Metroid Other M. There were some poor story choices, but the gameplay was good. I really do hope we get another game in a similar vein.
Re: Reggie Thought Game Boy Micro Was "A Nonstarter" But Was "Forced" To Launch It
Honestly I didn't pick one of these up, because I didn't see the point. But I was glad that it released and those who wanted it got one.

Re: Classic Beat-Em-Up 'Battletoads & Double Dragon' Gets An NES Re-Release

Re: Feature: Best Eggs In Games
Eggcellent article. Though picking the best eggs may not be over easy, it's best to look on the sunny side lest we all get scrambled.
Re: Random: This Artist's Majora's Mask X TNG Mash Up Is Too Good For This World
Kiteo, his eyes closed why no one has thought of this before.
Re: Rumour: Does This Bandai Namco Trademark Hint At A New '.hack' Collection?
Love this series. While I think GU are the better games, the first quadrilogy is an amazing experience.
Re: Review: .hack//G.U. Last Recode - Intriguing But Ageing PS2 ARPGs Get A Solid Remaster
The .hack games are definitely some of my favorite, but that's more so because of nostalgia than anything. I played through both series with a buddy of mine and feel like I might revisit this on the Switch to relive those memories.

It's nice to see EA's little Football Club doing so well.
Re: Chrono Cross Physical Edition Coming To Asia With English Language Support
This is what I was waiting for.

Re: Feature: The 20 Best Kirby Copy Abilities
Mirror is by far the best ability, and a fan favorite. It was the first ability added to Kirby fighters by vote.
Re: Random: Watch Triangle Strategy's Character Designer Bring The Game's Art To Life
I absolutely love Ikushima's style. Watching this has inspired me to try pen on paint.
Re: Tencent Acquires Majority Shareholding Of RiME Developer Tequila Works

Re: Chrono Trigger, Secret Of Mana, And Final Fantasy Soundtracks Appear On Square Enix's Music Channel

Re: Review: Triangle Strategy - Square Enix Plots A Total Tactical Triumph
@PJOReilly Typically how long are the cutscenes until you get some player agency again?

I loved the first Digimon World, but I never could venture far from the toilet.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The February 2022 Nintendo Direct?
This was the best Direct in a while. I had more than a few audible gasps during the announcements.
