I wish I could get into this game, it's a spoils of riches that no other game comes close to matching, but I am a disaster at fighting games, which makes them completely un-fun for me. Wish it weren't so. BTW, how many more characters does this game really need? Isn't it plenty enough at this point or is it just one of those unquenchable thirsts that will never be satisfied? Are there players who truly need more options in this insanely jam-packed title? That said, the Ninja Turtles would be a pretty cool addition.
Ah... Thanks! I actually have the Mario-themed version but wasn't aware of the flat-colored variants, which I prefer but would have been an import for me here in the States. Sure would be nice if Hori or (god forbid) Nintendo would release a full-featured D-pad Joy-Con but I'm not holding my breath.
@msvt - It sounds like it may have a checklist component according to the retail description: "the ultimate reference for anyone who insists on having it all". So, maybe.
@Arkin1988 - There's nothing stopping Nintendo from making a D-pad Joy-Con right now. They've even stated in the past that they have no plans to produce one or even update the Joy-Con, which, lowers the chances of this ever happening, unfortunately. Nintendo moves very slowly and can be quite stubborn (not a news flash). Hoping against hope, I'm with you and would love an "official" version! I have the Hori D-pan Joy-Con and it's okay but limited. That said, I still recommend it if you're looking for a D-pad option.
I’d be surprised if the standard wheel doesn’t come with suction cups. Looks like the deluxe comes with a clamp. Not sure what else justifies the x2 price tag.
Don't get me wrong, I really, really love this game and this version, specifically. It's just brilliant... but, man, what's up with the lousy frame rate? Hopeful Nintendo will iron things out.
My favorite AC of all time. Spent hundreds of hours on this version! I much prefer its flat, non-rolling terrain and wish it would make a comeback. Loved reading the Player's Guide and utilizing the Game Boy Advance connectivity. Plus, the NES games, of course.
