Did people even like Sonic Battle?

@SalvorHardin I like to hate on Dusk because the fans go wild

Really first person shooters haven't impressed me in years. Doom was probably my favourite recent one. Doom Eternal wasn't as good. I just find guns in video games a bit lazy and boring

@VoodooTrumpet it's fine I guess. Problem is they're trying to be like Hotline Miami but Hotline Miami's designer was already well established in the indie circuit. Well... I think they're trying to be like it, maybe all Swedish video games look like this haha

It's kind of hard these days to be an indie developer because the market is becoming oversaturated. You kind of have to do a bit more than "how about a procedurally generated Doom game". Particularly when there are so many Doom clones as it is

Remember that Dusk game that looks like ass but everyone raved about until it released and now no one talks about it? Me either...

@Fizza poopy poopy fart fart

@Dizzymario ahh thanks for the info. I was looking at outdated information. Still, someone should put all this information together if they haven't already!

@thinkhector I think people were mostly angry at the DLC and price and then when it had bugs too people lost their s***

Huh... so according to the banner image leak we had a while back the other DS track is Delfino Square. No Luigi's Mansion? Maybe they didn't like the moving trees...

I'm surprised this DLC of returning courses is actually just as much new stuff and tour stuff. Everyone thought they'd be able to fit in pretty much every retro track.

Between the banner leak, this, and the two tracks hinted at in coconut mall we can pretty much work out all the retro tracks now (well that is assuming they don't change their minds about tracks, which is very possible)

Edit: ohhh, no airship either... I thought that was a 3DS track... boooo. Maybe there was too much in that track, the bullet bills and moles etc. maybe it's one of the mystery tracks but they're undecided because they need to make sure the mario kart 8 CPU's can navigate the tracks... I hope that's what's happening and I hope they pull it off!

Games like this are why I love video games (well... that's my opinion until I actually play it)

End of an era, the last FIFA game made by EA. Could be a good thing for Switch owners... if we're lucky

If a company pays a hacker millions then they're either stupid or doing some seriously illegal dodgy sh*t themselves

Mario's dreamt of pasta since Super Mario 64

@WoomyNNYes I forgot that was coming out

@kingbk an all star Disney racer would be cool. They have SO much stuff now. Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Chip n Dale, Scrooge McDuck, Wolverine, Cyclops, Deadpool, Fry, Bender, Leela, The Simpsons, Pixar characters, Family Guy, Bob's Burgers etc etc realised there was too many to keep listing haha

Absolutely absurd that Sky isn't on this list

Literally the only thing potentially wrong with the art style is the Link's Awakening eyes he has. Which is a look Guybrush has had in both the original two games and also when he was made young at the end of Curse. This would be a relatively easy fix if they do decide to change it but I do think this reaction is reminiscent of when people saw Wind Waker for the first time.

It's definitely a Wind Waker situation rather than a Sonic movie reaction so I hope they stick to their guns. But either way I'm sure Rex will do what he thinks is best.

Actually I'm pretty sure this was my reaction when I saw Curse's art style for the first time. And that game turned out fantastic. Really it's that beautiful box art of the original games that's to blame for all this. It all goes back to Steve Purcell... damn him

@stereobread I guess they're just referring to how this is meant to be Gilbert's Monkey Island 3 but this one is clearly set after the others as it has Murray and even shows a picture of Elaine fighting Morgan from Tales.

I'd be happy with a re-release of the first three games. Tales would be cool if they combine it into one adventure, and bring back the Earl Boen chapter 1 redub that weirdly only exists in the physical copies of the game

Ooh! It's a video? I was wondering why the stream hadn't gone up yet

Kind of reluctant to buy expansion passes when Nintendo could include it in the NSO subscription I'm already paying for at the drop of a hat

@OrtadragoonX that's what I'm saying, they sound like Jackson tracks, as opposed to sounding like the other Sonic games. Now it's more consistent

I think they sound much better. More like Sonic tracks. The old tracks sounded like they belong in a different game.

People get a bit too attached to things sometimes. Same goes for Super Meat Boy, the new tracks by Ridiculon are actually great. Different but great

@Serpenterror this one was actually made by the same guys as shredder's revenge. Surprised nintendolife ignored it

@Ontrevant not magic, he made it with Florian who was the sole programmer... why do you keep writing stuff without checking the facts? You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

Most of the things in your other post make ZERO sense. "Everyone begged him to stop adding them" what?! Not only is that completely incorrect but you say there were three updates and there were in fact FIVE booster packs. And what glitches and bugs are you specifically referring to that remained unfixed for "five" years?! Not only are there none of significance but it was actually less than three years between the last Afterbirth+ update and Repentance. I do not recall any hideous game breaking bugs that needed to be fixed in that time.

And finally it's not McMillan it's McMillen, learn the guy's name at least. Not a programmer, he's the designer.

T-Speed is right, it's been on sale before, quite a few times

@Ontrevant he ABSOLUTELY is NOT a programmer. Check it and read back your own message to yourself

@Ontrevant I mean he's just the artist and designer... seems silly to blame him for bugs

@Goat_FromBOTW just so long as we stay on topic. And don't resort to insults... we'll be fine.

You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity. Farewell!

@DarkTron the trailer looks to be the pc version. The eshop screenshots clearly show button controls so it's not as rushed as it makes out. Not sure why they decided on using pc footage for the console trailer but I'd hold off on the hate until it's actually out and we can see how it plays

@Ontrevant yes it is

Shame Minecraft DLC basically isn't playable on the switch due to the stupid 2GB save storage limits...

@Pillowpants it's still being updated. They haven't stopped adding content since its release. And even more DLC recently came out for it. Why reduce the price when people are still buying it?

@SteamEngenius to be fair, Isaac actually is still worth full price.

@Tom-Massey the "sack" is actually a golf bag I believe!

@BloodNinja Casey Jones uses a plethora of sports equipment including but not limited to golf clubs and hockey sticks

It is inaccurate to say Tribute Games are responsible for the Scott Pilgrim game. That's like saying Playtonic are responsible for Banjo Kazooie. It's simply not true.

@Beaucine yeah, mostly rare titles. There are plenty but none made it to the virtual console either. I really just hope for diddy kong racing. I hope there's not an issue with conker being in that game. Conker itself would be great too but I'm not sure how they'd handle that as a mature title

Fantastic game. I wonder if they will announce a new list of upcoming games after pokemon snap or if we will go back to not knowing if or when we get new games

I hope we get diddy kong racing and donkey kong 64! Banjo tooie as well, though I think it's less likely even though we got banjo kazooie.

Other than the rare stuff what else is there? Wave race? Pilot wings? Smash bros? (that'd be great with online).

Maybe they'll just go straight to game boy after pokemon snap since there aren't many n64 games left. Though I guess they could squeeze it out until the end of october to keep people interested in the expansion subscription and announce game boy before that expires

@RupeeClock well that would be the twist... it's clearly meant to invoke Star Wars. They are invaders regardless of where they come from. The name still fits

@RupeeClock what about the pig army? The game literally starts with a UFO...

Can someone please clarify if local multiplayer means split screen multiplayer? Because local multiplayer in Nintendo terms usually means when you connect to another console

Alex had written his review and he hit publish. He was excited to publish this one. It didn't take long for comments to be written and Alex would hastily hit refresh so he could give them a read. At first Alex was delighted. People would bask in the glory of his well written piece. They would marvel at his writing ability. He then started to read...

It wasn't long before he began to wonder... did people actually read his review? Did they just want to talk about the game? What did "interesting" mean... did people even understand?

He stood up and he screamed... no... wait, you're not meant to do that, what are you doing? This isn't in the script... Alex, what are you doing? This just won't wor--

The comment seemed to end abruptly. The reader laughed but then realised... the comment hadn't actually ended. But now... it had.

@Snatcher I was just referring to the recent subscriber loss and password sharing controversy. Netflix aren't in a good place at the moment.

Edit: controversy referring to public opinion on their move to crack down on password sharing

@Not_Soos I categorically disagree that netflix contributed to the success of the wii...

@Bunkerneath I don't have any other form of tablet so it would be good for me

@Snatcher surprised people still care about netflix. Where's Disney+?

This is great, I get the impression more expansion DLCs are going to be added over time. Breath of the Wild probably. Basically anything that was called "expansion pass" by Nintendo. As opposed to smash bros fighters passes which probably won't get included

The issue is they've labelled DLC alongside editions of the game. In reality there are just two editions, two normal DLC packs and a pre order DLC pack. One version is without the two normal DLC packs and one is with. And the pre order DLC is exactly that.

If you pre order the deluxe edition you get everything.

@Not_Soos having played Isaac for thousands of hours I don't think it has anything to do with abortion. It's about battling inner demons, grief, abuse and neglect. I hope people don't mind me spoiling the story but essentially the father leaves the mother and Isaac reminds her of him so she neglects him. And then he battles with himself because he feels responsible.

Isaac does push things to the limits and deal with a lot of serious issues but in the end it's just a piece of art and a story. It's fictional.

There are religious elements but it doesn't contradict good vs evil. The bible is seen as a good item, the bosses are satan. God is nowhere in the game beyond a brief mention in the intro.

I'd take bigger issue with games like Bayonetta or Assassin's Creed than I would Binding of Isaac

Can I just say how much I appreciate this new writer, Alana Hagues
