Yep. Their arrogance also resulted in Sega becoming a big rival.

So is this patch only in the U.K.? I got the game physical several weeks ago and there was a big mandatory install but I haven't seen a patch since

Super. Now give us pixeljunk shooter and I'll pony up some dough

So now they expect $20 for more DLC? It's a decent game and I don't think the performance is bad after the updates but I'm not paying more. Plus they expect your level to be insanely high to play the new levels

lol, I thought they were going to actually go review games that they originally missed, not just slap together an article and include reader blurbs

@Darthroseman

Fully expect this place to soon become one of those sites on Google news with headlines like, "You'll never guess which classic N64 platformer is coming to switch."

@Rhaoulos

The list is arbitrary, basically by committee. The review is one guy giving it a 9

@g_ruz

Except they took their sweet time

Very weak effort. Pitiful song list, didn't fix the wonky motion controls, move list looks boring for people who already played the first (which got boring fast, anyway). Hard pass

More of the same is absolutely not fine. The music sucks, the joycon motion recognition is garbage, and the moves get boring way too fast. The first one felt like it was slapped together in a few months by a couple people, and now they expect us to pay $50 for more of the same? LMM-effing-AO

Would be nice to know how the weapons work. I heard this one lets you aim in any direction. Is it twin stick aiming?

These guys made pretty good games but I'll never forgive them for not patching nuclear throne on vita and leaving it forever in a broken state

Great game, but the perfect scores are ludicrous. The inventory select screen is a joke, the camera is infrequently a pain in the butt, there's no rumble (much less HD rumble), and the brevity sucks. It's really more like a demo....a really good demo, but still a demo.

A short hike is fantastic

Have you guys beaten dead cells on hard? It gets too hard for me late in the game on hard.

I've only beaten Gungeon once, possibly put 80 hours into it. It's pretty tough

Oh wow, g-darius is great but these games are too pricey. Trying to rip off hardcore shmup fans is a bad look.

@RustedHero

Ain't nobody coming for your 1990's cowboy video games made by Japanese guys. Statues of genocidal, racist traitors that never should have existed to begin with are fair game though

Yeah, this is an 8 out of 10 easy, especially with two level packs on the way. I agree that the framerate can struggle at times and the gameplay could use a little more depth but the game is super fun and the loot aspect is very addictive.

Alternate title -

Swollen Hyena: Random Alias Grenade

@DevlinMandrake

The art style turned me off at first, but I quickly got used to it. It's got a guns gore and cannoli/ Steamworld vibe. The bosses and backgrounds look fantastic

This game is freaking sick. Loved the demo, will buy

Fascinating how they keep trying to make this game good, but can't

LMAO I think I got this for $7 on ps4 ages ago. It's not even that great. The old Burnouts are way better

@MarcusIsCool

Nope it's pretty difficult. And I'm a Super ghouls and ghosts veteran

I feel like Miles & Kilo came out a long time ago. Why is it here?

@Savino should have replaced that hot garbage with 99Vidas and Mother Russia Bleeds

@cmk8 Start with something like Night Slashers (assuming you don't mind exposing him to cartoon violence)

@Benji80 the 3DS version dropped to $1 after awhile

This is an awesome game, amazing music. The 3D effect will be missed though

@Crono1973

For every game that receives a patch that significantly helps it, enough to affect the score? Not too much work, actually

"He makes a great point, really. By owning all of the other modern platforms, Reggie was able to identify the "issues" and "opportunities" and that gave him a greater perspective, allowing him to improve the situation on the Nintendo front."

What is this word-salad nonsense.

Pretty easy to add an Update section at the beginning of the review to let viewers know that the game received a significant patch after the review was posted

One of my favorite iOS games, glad to see it coming to switch for cheap

Will wait for a 20 cent sale

No horizon shift 81?

@Kalmaro

Unless I'm reading it wrong it looks like the lessening of boss milking is in an alternate mode

Warframe is great, but asphalt 9 is insane for a freebie. 200 hours, haven't spent a penny or grinded for any reason that became a chore. And they are adding 10 new tracks and more cars soon.

Edit: And don't buy the starter pack. It's pretty much pointless. Just learn how to play the game properly to avoid the ftp BS

Strange how companies seem to have discounts winding down immediately after Christmas, right when everyone has gifted eshop cash to burn. Maybe they are counting on us just paying full price

I will indeed wait for this to be a dollar, thanks

@rjejr

Except It's 96 freaking degrees today. And I'm in a supposedly more moderate climate

The music is amazing, but $10 is really pushing it. Wait for a $1 sale

Only $80 and it lets me hover in mid air? Sign me up

No local multi-player? That seems odd

Excellent. I was hoping this would come to switch

They should have made a cool retro-style beat em up, a la Final Fight. I remember some killer pixel art that some dude did when the first movie came out. That was sweet

@JayJ

Weird how we seem to have swung from everyone bashing generic, low-effort 2D indie platformers to folks defending them. It's almost like they just want to argue and be contrarian for no good reason

Lots of people defending this game for some reason. It looks distressingly simple and average, with no gameplay evolution throughout the 45 minute runtime. Sprites are clearly 'inspired by' better - known games. I'd spend my $5 elsewhere

My only real issue is with the 3DS self- scratching the screen when closed. Insufficient bumpers.

I've had three pairs of defective joycons

@GFoyle wut. For $5 you get two awesome arcade games plus the timeless mode. You can choose to input ‘coins’ or freeplay, Tate mode, change the difficulty/lives/bombs, change the screen filter, online rankings, and the button mapping is perfect as is

This is a tough game to review. Multi player is out, but it was bad to begin with. Frame rate is mostly fixed over the abysmal original, but still has annoying hitches. Level design is improved over the original but still frequently annoying, with obscure hidden items and same -looking areas that are easy to get lost in. Overall I'd say a 6 or 7 is fine. Not a game I'll pay more than $10 for but it's nice to see it at least playable without that atrocious N64 framerate
