Switch_Pro

@johnvboy Absolutely, lots of stuff that I'm interested in, but nothing particularly high budget or incredibly exciting. It was primarily a lot of filler to hold us over until the next console, and I'm totally fine with that. Kinda interesting that even the most filler year of Switch is way more robust than the best year of most previous Nintendo consoles.

This might be the single best performing Marvelous game so far on the Switch. It seems to have some Rune Factory DNA but more fast paced action. Intrigued, I want to see more.

I liked the first Detective Pikachu, I am a big fan of point and click adventure games and it was very much in that vibe, definitely scratched the itch. However, Detective Pikachu was one of the best looking 3DS games and this sequel looks like a 3DS game on a higher resolution, makes me think it was a 3DS game that was cancelled and revived on Switch. Still glad we are getting it, I'm interested.

@PlasmaticSnake But it is not pixel art, it's basically a screenshot of a 3D model and then downsampled. Pixel art implies it's basically made in 2D pixel by pixel. Anyway, semantics aside, the game is gonna be amazing.

Wasn't expecting this, I still haven't played the previous one lol, they're on a roll.

@PlasmaticSnake As opposed to the original that is very mature? I mean, sure, this is more colourful but it's mainly because the SNES had a very limited colour palette. The original uses captured pre-rendered sprites similar to Donkey Kong, it is not pixel art. I don't see why anyone would ever prefer it over this which is rendered at runtime and is incredibly faithful, but to each their own I guess.

@Ventilator Liars about what? It probably took a lot of effort to get these running on the Switch, I bet this was in development longer than the Wii U was alive, lol.

Looks interesting, unlike Super Princess Peach which was a bit too standard platformer faire. I'll probably end up picking it up either way, I hope it turns out good.

Physical version? Oh no, and here I thought I was going to skip this one and stick with my Gamecube and Wii versions because it would be only digital. 40 more quid down the drain.

I'll probably pick it up at some point, I really enjoyed it on 3DS but I didn't finish it as I had other games, would be nice to revisit with upgraded graphics.

Honestly this surprised me, looks great, not a big fan of the character design though, could have been better, so unfortunately I see this game being a hidden forgotten gem in the future like many of the N64 platformers that were good but without a memorable protagonist.

Looks really good, I love the aesthetic they went with. Another one I'm picking up day 1, just hoping for a physical version because the previous one was only digital which sucked.

There were rumours about this but I still can't believe it. Looks incredibly faithful and amazing. Definitely a day 1 purchase.

Looks amazing, some very interesting animation, looks somewhat stop-motion at times. I'm in.

They should refund all the microtransactions to the players that bought them, or give them some form of compensation just for optics.

If they do a remake it should just be a 1:1 remake this time and not like FF7R.

They could have done a lot more with this one, especially when it comes to visuals, but I'll pick it up regardless. My biggest gripe with it has always been the cows, which says something, it's a great game.

This is not about individual people pirating games, but about shutting down easy to access hubs, which are incredibly easy to find on Reddit or simply by Googling. Piracy will never completely be defeated, but reducing its visibility and making it less accessible is a good thing.

@sanderev Except the distribution is nothing like 7.5m per platform, but even if it was it's still fantastic sales.

Well deserved, it's one of the best games ever made.

Yes I am, the game looks great and gameplay looks extremely smooth. Price of Persia's roots is very much 2D adventure platforming so this Metroidvania take is a perfect match for the series. The music in the trailer was awful but the in game audio is a lot more fitting. It's made by the same studio that made Rayman Legends so it's in good hands.

It's still modern Disney which means I won't support it.

I like the idea of foam because it's 3D which could lead to unique and different gameplay than Splatoon, but I simply can't stand the colour palette, art style and general presentation, it's just as unappealing as it gets.

Good, I didn't want a live action film. I am happy with an animated one.

Pikmin is easily one of the best Nintendo franchises. All the games in the series are great, I am confident 4 will be a blast, too. Of course I pre-ordered my copy months ago.

Sega finally realized that tall Sonic is cringe?

First off, the newer Harvest Moon games which only have the title but are not part of the Bokujou Monogatari series do NOT belong on this list. Secondly, the ratings are sus, Harvest Moon GB is a 10/10 game for that platform, less than a 7/10 is laughable. Can't help but feel the people that voted are not farming game fans, therefore the ranking is worthless.

@YoshiF2 Eh, people say that about any number of things. I don't think it's true at all that Breath of the Wild is obsolete because of Tears of the Kingdom. It has its own more relaxed vibe and different toolset for Link which some people are bound to prefer. However, for me the issue with both of the games is that they are way too long, so I don't see myself playing them again like I do with other Zeldas.

@Scapetti I like Lisa a lot more.

I really enjoyed Tears or the Kingdom, it has its pros and cons compared to Breath of the Wild, but I have to admit that I don't want to play another Zelda that is similar to either of them. I feel this style of Zelda has reached its peak and drastic changes would be needed in a follow up.

Amazing game and easily the best Earthbound inspired game. It's the only game that manages to recapture the weird atmosphere of Earthbound, while also being its own thing and not completely derivative. I hope it gets a physical copy.

As harsh as it might seem, the framerate issues or the remake are enough to not make it the best version for me, an absolute shame they never patched it.

Fantastic update, I never played this Harvest Moon, as my first one was Harvest Moon GB on Gameboy Color and I have played most games in the series, really looking forward to it.

It wasn't scary at all to be honest, the setting with the silly contraptions does not lend itself to any amount of horror. It has some small spooky moments here and there, particularly underground with gloom hands but it has nothing on Majora's Mask or even Ocarina of Time.

@Zachuratedphat Disks can last a very long time if they are not damaged and are stored properly. I'm talking an order of magnitude more than the figure you're suggesting, if not more.

@Axecon I don't see how this would affect GameFreak games in any way. From a business perspective which is what these executive types care about, they are making absolute bank. You'd have to change creative director to potentially see sweeping design changes.

I updated my game, I am not interested in duplicating items, if I reached a point where I would want to do that, it means that I'm already tired of the game and will play something else.

Actually most Zelda games are well balanced when it comes to the rupees you come across in the majority of the game. The wallet size is there as an additional quality of life reward and also prevents you from spending too many rupees in the early game on a single thing. Keeping in mind you can technically always farm more rupees if you really want to but it's really tedious and not really supposed to do that. Late-game, yeah they are kind of a non issue, and there isn't really enough stuff to spend them on, which is why they added the rupee draining armor and other rupee-sinks, as their end-game usefulness is limited. Most games have this "issue", really, if you find most/all of the treasures, you end up with too much money, that's just natural, as the game is not really balanced around finding every single thing, that would be a big ask for the average player.

@Cashews I don't really understand your point, there are plenty of JRPG roguelikes. Just because one didn't pan out doesn't mean anything. Anyway, I will wait for a few more reviews, this game seems interesting, but certainly won't bite at full price.

Not bad for an "incompetent" company.

I much prefer the dungeons in Tears of the Kingdom to Divine Beasts, the dressing being different makes a huge difference. That said, Divine Beasts had cooler mechanics with being able to turn the entire dungeon on its head and such.

@HotGoomba I wish it was, but unfortunately it's real. As is the fact that somehow Disney considers it live action instead of animated. What are they smoking?

@kal_el_07241 Pokémon is the only game that sold more than Zelda in its first few days so it seems to be doing just fine. Zelda was always better than Pokémon, quality wise and I don't see that ever changing. Nor does it have to, almost no game in the market has a chance against Zelda when it comes to that.

This game is a home run on most fronts. My only nitpick honestly is just the controls feeling very complicated for the first few hours. Zelda was never a massive seller in Japan, it's very pleasing to so it sell so well domestically.

@WolfyTn Worried about what? If anything, they are taking their time with it because they want to guarantee its success as much as possible. Rest assured it's on the way.

Awful title but I'm kind of excited about the prospect of a reboot, MK11 was way too ridiculous even for MK standards.

@michellelynn0976 Yup, the perpetual complainers have turned complaining into a sport, if their current grievance is fixed they will find something else to latch onto. Personally, just like most people, I don't give a damn about Pokémon Home, so GameFreak was wise to consider it lower priority. Most will literally never use that feature.

@SpoonySpoons It is not stubbornness, he has personal attachment as the creator, and he wants to make sure that the game is on the right track. If he wasn't involved at all, I would be worried. Plenty of examples of IPs that are completely detached from their original creator feeling completely off, or worse, resembling fanfiction.

@gcunit It's just imaginary points, you can get basically unlimited.

Skyward Sword and Bayonetta don't really belong on this list in my opinion, but still, this does show what an exclusive list it is.
