@Grch @sixrings Not sure why people are giving you two a thumbs down for wanting consistent performance but I agree. My main issue was the choppy framerate. Hopefully it will be improved by launch. Otherwise I loved the game.
@60frames-please All valid points. Also, I see someone decided to go through and dislike almost all of your posts, lol. Fanboys gotta fanboy despite logical, non-abrasive comments.
@SuperNoob It will be fine, no doubt. Especially if that's your only option. Its not mine so I'll do as different version. I did want it on Switch though.
@retro_player_22 It was originally planned for Wii U which is weaker so I don't give them a pass. Also you pointed out a great example in your post and there are others such as Hollow Knight. It's not bad to get 30fps and 720p. The game will still be fun but it's disappointing. At least be 60fps. That can affect gameplay.
@60frames-please Yeah. Portable is 720p obviously which is good but docked is 720p dynamic which is a disappointment. Along with 30 fps in both modes. I find that just plain lazy.
The game looks good but sadly I won't buy it on Switch because of the lower resolution and framerate. Normally that doesn't bother me but I feel like the programmers were just lazy this time and didn't want to optimize it. PS4 wins this round.
I guess this might be considered a classic for a Euro platformer but it's pretty bad compared to its contemporary (or earlier) console platformers. Its slow and clunky with that terrible framerate which seems par for the course for Amiga platformers. Maybe I'm not so fond of it because I don't have the nostalgia? It's cool for people that love it though!
Yep, that's an Amiga platformer alright. I guess because I didn't grow up with them in the US it makes it hard to go back to. I've tried but without nostalgia this just seem stiff and slow. I'm happy for those that are looking forward to it though!
This is the arcade release of Gain Ground. Not sure why people are saying we don't need it because its on the Genesis collection. Its a different version. Plus M2.
@NotTelevision Nailed it with the very beginning of your sentence. It's an individual's taste. I personally love Dragon Ball but can see why others wouldn't.
Ugh... what a waste of 2 slots in their slow release schedule. I'd be fine with one of these. I actually own 2 on the Saturn. But sucking up 2 slots when there are so many other choices to add variety is annoying. This and the fact we have to have Sonic 1 and 2 included yet again is making the Ages releases lose steam.
Nice review! I love the game so far. Btw you can turn the wheels off in the option mode. I just use the shoulder buttons to switch back and forth. Unless that only works for magic and not transformations?
@Moroboshi876 I think price should be taken into consideration. Value is part of the scoring process. That being said value can be subjective but such a short game for a high price is not great.
@Guitar_bard Thanks! Good to hear from a fellow fan. I started out watching Robotech as a kid then I read the books. Once I found out it was made up of 3 different anime I watched the originals and fell in love with the Macross universe. Still my favorite anime. I'm sad there's isn't any Macross in this. At least not yet.
@retro_player_22 Yeah, these have been releasing since all the way back with the Famicom. Fun games. Even better now that they've started adding English text.
I don't understand the fact when people say that if another game is coming out on the same day they can't buy two games. You could easily play this in between breaks from Smash. I'll personally be playing this more than Smash probably.
@GameOtaku The way I wrote the total was specific because I referenced your inaccurate total of $100 but I suppose that's subjective. Its not important. My point was just to be helpful and clarify the costs to you incase you were interested in importing, which you apparently aren't because you keep saying it's too expensive even when its less than half what you thought it would be. To each their own.
@GameOtaku I'm in the US too. Over $100? Not sure where you looked but with shipping your're only looking at about $40 bucks or so for a physical copy from Play Asia. Not sure what state you are in but even if they tax an online purchase I don't see why there would be an import fee. I've never had one.
@StephanDLW @MrJuancho There is a simple fix you can do with tape or something similar to fix that. I've seen it on YouTube and through Google. I need to do it myself.

Re: Limited Run Partners With Lucasfilm To Re-Release Classic Star Wars Games
@HobbitGamer ha, that would be neat. I'd love a new Macross game too!
Re: Limited Run Partners With Lucasfilm To Re-Release Classic Star Wars Games
X-wing! Tie Fighter! Hopefully on a console, don't really care which one!
Re: Story-Driven Platformer Ministry Of Broadcast Leaps Towards A Physical 2020 Switch Release
Looks cool. The jumping animation bothers me though. But I'd still play it!
Re: Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights And More D&D Classics Coming To Switch
I'm curious if there will be a physical US release? If not Amazon is my friend.

Awesome! I'll get all 3!

Re: Early Mortal Kombat 11 Switch Impressions Sound Promising, 60fps Is The Target
If you can't hit consistent 60fps for a fighter then don't bother. Good news.
Re: Six More Sega Ages Games Announced For Nintendo Switch
G-loc.....but why? Still no Outrunners or Revenge of Death Adder.....I like some of these choices, especially Herzog. But still not overly impressed.
Re: Wonder Boy Returns Is Getting Remixed For Switch Release
Hopefully they actually do update the gameplay and graphics. This looks like a flash game.

Re: Review: Toki - Gorgeous Arcade Platforming That's Over All Too Quickly

Re: Review: Toki - Gorgeous Arcade Platforming That's Over All Too Quickly
@holygeez03 oh right! Argh! Even worse...
Re: Review: Toki - Gorgeous Arcade Platforming That's Over All Too Quickly
The wait for a sale begins. I can't pay 30 bucks for a single arcade game even if it looks pretty.
Re: Review: Horizon Chase Turbo - A Worthy Successor To Sega's Out Run
@Mr_Pepperami I'm going arcade release. The Genesis one is asstastic. Outrun 2 would be amazing too!
Re: Review: Horizon Chase Turbo - A Worthy Successor To Sega's Out Run
Glad to hear it reviewed well! Can't wait! Now Sega needs to drop Outrunners and I'll be satisfied.
Re: Out Run Is The Next Sega AGES Title Racing Onto The Switch eShop
Hell yes! I really hope they bring Outrunners and Golden Axe Return of Death Adder to Switch...

Re: Capcom Has "Heard Community's Feedback" And Will Update Beat 'Em Up Bundle Next Month
@GameOtaku $40 for the game including shipping. Total. Shipping itself is about 6 bucks. Importing is not expensive like it used to be.

@djmanoloco They did patch it I believe. Try a firmware update.
Re: Gallery: Now There's An 8BitDo Controller To Suit Every Mood
@Sinton I think that and the SNES version are discontinued.
