Very true, the loading time improvement from the 1st patch is almost unnoticeable, but this 2nd patch greatly improves the loading time before the match starts from towers to online matches…even invasions in switch seems to load faster…
I believe this is what should have released in the first place and not the previous september release…
Thanks for the input, too bad I have no more access to GBA aside from switch online… I guess I’m buying 5 & 6 here in pixel remaster… I played the Psp version of Ff4 the complete collection, so I think that was better/smoother I guess than the PSN version of that game…
Because I’m chronologically playing these classics and I stopped playing (currently) at Ff5 on PSP due to major bug issues… finished 1-4 with no issues on psp… so I’m buying 5 here on switch… hopefully 6 can still run smooth on my PSP…
I actually enjoyed other games infused with rhythm mechanics like necrodancer +rougelike gameplay, hopefully this one also, really looking forward for this announcement, thanks!
I'm actively playing this game especially PvE mode and one reason I can think of why disabling the crossplay is needed is because of PvP mode... I think keyboard/mouse has more advantage than gyroscope aiming or analog sticks... and yes, I've also seen some very good players in youtube playing in the switch versions so that invalidates my point... but that's just my opinion...
@onex, I don't remember having the gyro feature... but I'm pretty sure it is controlled either by buttons or touch screen... I immediately deleted the game as I'm too disappointed... The game "Drums" from the PSP by Sanuk games is even better, even the sound quality..
I don't know if you guys already tried the free Fuser from NSO...
I tried it and it always crash, I've researched and developers admitted that there were performance issues since last update of the game (June 2021)... How I wish they fixed that first before offering it for NSO users...
anyway great game, I enjoy the mixing mechanics but always pissed off whenever the game crashes at the middle of the gameplay.
I wonder what specific items do you get from lottery from amiibos?? I'm just finding more reason to pre-order amiibos for MH rise other than the layered armor... can anyone help?
The WRC 8 works well with hori pro steering wheel giving the pedal that analog trigger-like response. I don’t if ill be picking this up, please review the WRC 9 on switch and let us know if it will always ask for online connection... because WRC8 always crashes, only solution is playing on airplane mode...
Just got mine in physical version and just gameplay videos itself, i’m sold... i think there’s no biking game (with first person view) yet on switch... other than motorbikes... but I’m still about to play it ... november seems a great month for switch new games.
Okay, i’m level star20+ when trying this but no success at all... so i guess based on experience... you can unlock luigi
IF AND ONLY IF
you finished all the 32 levels at least once and gain a star rating...
I can verify this because after beating the last stage at least once, i tried immediately this trick and works fine...
1 thing i’m not sure if its unlockable even without the star level, but finished all the 32 stages atleast once... because gaining star level is easier than completing all the 32 stages... i’m not sure...
Believe me, still, Hori Pro Deluxe Steering Wheel is the best way to play Mario Kart 8 deluxe... with pedals, and 3 kinds of sensitivities... you already knew this if you own one.
I’ve played kombat league 13 yesterday, and I must say, that you can now get points after your opponent disconnects or quits or even disconnected due to slow connection... no more wasting of time/points for quitters... kombat league 11 didn’t have this fix before.
Easy to get-in and get-out of the game + gyroscope aiming... currently 50+ hours on my switch, i wish more players are playing this game so that I can try 8-player deathmatches and more 4-player coop for experts. Just buy the game! It’s fun for chill and doing flawless runs! - though I think it has less content for solo players, they are still updating the game for that feature...
@doctorhino thanks a lot! I've been eyeing this game for months, but once in a while I'm getting updates that it is getting more & more characters, so a part of me is saying, "wait for the last version where all dlc are included" lol
Can anyone clarify how many season passes are there on the ultimate edition? Or how many season passes does it lack before you can say that you have all the characters available at the moment?
A lot of comments here, seems everybody loves the game... and just to add to that, I don’t know but there’s already a nintendo-labo like control scheme for this game, a 2-way axis analog gameplay, steering for left joy con, and pedals for right joycon... just like playing nintendo labo, except you use hands for pedals instead of foot. Am I only the one who tried that out?
Control scheme options for this game is just pure beast, gamecube analog is even included...
this is the same case with fractured soul, it is supposed to be released as a retail packaged game but ended up as a download-only title... however, their price is only $12...
i buy my games with physical boxes, for me, buying a $40 game in digital is ridiculous especially on how nintendo set up the users account tied on the system... i would actually buy this for $30 if it has a box... but for a download-only title? i won't, i would probably wait for a sale.
Hello Damien McFerran, i just wanted to ask if there's an option for gyro controls in this game? I read a review from other website, his username is blaze627 and let me quote him
"The most notable addition, however, is the option to enable a control mode that uses the 3DS' gyroscope to simulate the moving arcade cabinet that the original game employed in it's initial arcade release."
What can you say about that?, I thought only the 3D super hang on has the gyro feature... I'm actually thinking of buying one of the 2 classic SEGA 3D titles... but since super hang on has the gyro feature, i got curious about it and just waiting for reviews for that game before I actually buy it... and then i just saw this review of blaze627 on 3D space harrier, so if there's really a gyro feature on 3d space harrier, i might buy it now and and just buy the other next time...
Hi, nintendolife, I just want to ask when will the review for "Deer Hunting King" (3ds game) will be available? I'm pretty sure it was stated in last week's article that review is coming soon for that game. Sorry i'm just desperate to see some insight for this game (but of course I don't want to risk to buy it without even watching any trailer) because even gameplay video doesn't seem to exist in the internet... Thanks!
on topic: nothing for me this week, i wish SMB2 will be available via club nintendo XD
@Kaze_Memaryu I tried launching the game but it doesn't run on my pc even if java is already installed... anyway thanks for the impression... now, i'm really looking forward to it more.
yes ninja gaiden for me! now, when will those rockman series be available in NA? i've heard rockman 2 is on its way on EU but still no rockman 1 on US...
@3Dash: the gameplay makes use of looking between the top screen and bottom screen, i thought switching from 3d(top) to 2d(bottom) is pretty hard for eyes to adjust focus.
@Shworange: i totally agree to your last sentence cheers mate!
@Marioman64: i've seen chronos twins in youtube, it seems that their difference is you can only focus in 1 character (1 screen at a time) in fractured soul unlike chronos twins which are actually twins that you need to focus on both screens as they are alive simultaneously.
The game is great if you love old-school platforming games like rockman series... just finishing the game is already a challenge, ACEing per stage is additional challenge...but racing against the online leaderboards is the ultimate challenge... so it is "Pretty Challenging"... if you are a person that is always "Up for the challenge" buy this game

Re: Mortal Kombat's 2021 Movie Reboot Is Getting A Sequel
