@BionicDodo Reading is essential for understanding if the reviewer is credible or if it talks about fried air. If it's a victim of hype or a good reviewer.
It's obvious that a Neo-Geo fan already know what's good and what's bad by its own experience but it's still important to criticize where things are off. Though I understand that it's difficult to review such genre.
World is full of sheeps.

@BionicDodo If everything is an opinion nothing has value.
These characters are far worse than classics (Rock Howard is NOTHING, what is that? A mix of Terry and Kyo? Better Terry AND Kyo. Where are Benimaru, Billy Kane, etc. where are the charismatic characters? Hotaru Futaba is nothing compared to Mai Shiranui), it's a fact.
Music is mediocre at best, fact.
Animations are computerized instead of hand drawn, fact.
Backgrounds are mediocre, fact.

This game isn't bad, at all, it's just a decent game, and this review is completely off.

@Mii_duck Fair, but Ocarina is more of a trasversal game. It's actually very creepy. It's not childish at all.
While I do like colorful arts here it's really very childish, and enemies are a big letdown.
I do not dislike this game, I would not find it appealing to play myself, that's it.

Will sell more on the Nintendo Switch. It just seems tailored for it, and by September it should have enough hyped userbase to take on the PS4.

9? Lol. All hype.
Undisputable high point... but PLEASE.
It's the work of a DEAD company, and it shows.
The cast is the WORST of the serie, without any charisma. Copycats.
Well, not a single word makes sense, I should stop quoting here, though I'm sorry to say it but this review is a joke. The worst I've read on this site.

I was expecting more for Minecraft, uhm.
Never bought it, and will never buy it eventually, though I'm interested just a bit for my child.

It looks like a decent game for children but please... not for adults.
When I was a child I did play with the likes of Suikoden II that was on a completely different level. Breath of Fire IV, Final Fantasy VII, Ocarina of Time. Well I do not envy todays children (except that there are good games like Breath of the Wild, etc. and I hope so much on Octopath Traveler).

@AJ81 Most hype since it's the latest 'Fatal Fury' (not sharing much of Fatal Fury though) but it's not one of the best, at all. You have to wait for the best (KOF 96, FF3, RBFF), though King of Fighters '98 is the most solid out there and King of Fighters '94 the toughest (though at level 2 is playable by anyone).

Engineers for what? They just put there the same (good) chip they used for their Shield. -_-

Looks nice, want to see it in motion. I don't know anything about this game. ^^

@ANeonChicken It does look to have extra content (extra modes to take care too), it pays a lot of royalties to Nintendo, userbase is low, etc. I wont cry for that being you, it's not 59.

They have conquered the golden egg after whining against AMD for the other two console platforms.
Better you take care of Nintendo and secure a contract for Nintendo's next generation too nVidia.

I do think it's fair, both space occupied and price.
It's a Microsoft product, so it's obvious that cost less on their platform.
I'm not interest on this, though I like that costs less than the Street Fighter II 'redraw' with the laughable price of 39.
It interests my child though.

@Spoony_Tech EA IS the devil. And even if I'm considering to buy some games just for Bioware it is the worst gaming company.
They have not seen a single penny from me after Mass Effect 2, that serie was hard to skip but after they left Steam I said farewell.
It's unlikely I'm going to give money to THE evil company with the Nintendo Switch, though I can be tempted by one or two big games. Unlikely though.

Probably undeserved that 9, still a good game. At that time it was good especially for the graphics, now it isn't eye opening.

@JohnGrey I definitely don't see this as a mediocre game, it just can't appease some people. Then they have to optimize it to make it shine, but I can't understand a vote under 7 for it (like the laughable Polygon review). It's definitely a game for kids, I'm not interested on it but I can't just bash it because it's not my cup of tea... It isn't bad nor mediocre, it looks decent with some faults. For some kids it will be definitely great, even with those weaknesses.
'Current year' isn't a valid argument, in fact WonderBoy got high votes, and Kamiko took underserved high ratings for a game that's near stupid. I can see that Kamiko as mediocre to decent (not bad).
It's not mediocre, just for kids, and some people have grown up.
Super Mario 64 is still top platforming in my opinion (THE top), and this Yooka is the same old collectathon that many still likes. As for me I NEVER liked it but understand that it's just about taste (and age).

P.S.: If developers don't fix technical issues for the Nintendo Switch release they will be just plain stupid.

@JohnGrey It can be that some platforms got it less optimized, though I have seen very good reviews on PS4 too, like this one below. I don't know if you find it fair, but he too found the camera no good while not overshadowing its pros.
Eventually the game just needs optimization, and certainly the developers are culprit for not releasing it in a fair state on those platforms. Though we are talking about Nintendo Switch here and if they will actually deliver an optimized game this time it should not be judged thinking at the past.

Just an excerpt from that PS4 review, tell me if it's unfair:

Pros:

• Great and responsive controls.
• Satisfying and sometimes challenging platforming.
• Great use of moves to solve puzzles.
• Progress is customizable as you can choose when to learn a move or move on to another world.
• Massive and colorful worlds.
• Hilarious and charming characters.

Cons:

• Camera can get very irritating at some points.
• Lack of threatening enemies.
• Not exactly a very hard game.

Another smartphone game? Thumbs down.

I want just to note that the game got 84% Positive reviews on Steam.
Eventually it isn't good to some reviewers but definitely the gamers are appreciating it.

Very ugly graphics. 'Retro' just became an excuse to make lame games.

@arrmixer If NBA Playgrounds does exist it can exist even that. Also they can just avoid to use real names eventually if the NFL don't agree.

@arrmixer An indie should satisfy easily your desire. And it's very strange that they haven't done it yet.

@arrmixer I'm talking about this videogame, not real life.

It looks good, they have corrected the aim with this video. Previous one was dull. Now they could have actually done just a gameplay video to make it more understandable by people.
But Nintendo Switch actually need a rating system to make good games actually shine in favor of the bad ones in the eShop. Like Steam.

A star system (1 to 5) would be actually perfect.

NBA 2K17 was really horrible, animations and collisions like it was molasses. Where are those good games of old, precise and fast paced? Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqLgTyFWJrQ
Eventually basketball is dead, though soccer is still somewhat kicking.

I play it mostly as a home console, but I'm happy that's played as a hybrid console from the most people. I too sometimes play it in portable mode. This should really mean the end of the 3DS line since this is seen as a 'do everything'.

Puyo Puyo isn't bad. It just seems that people don't want to spend that high amount of money for a simple puzzle game.
Release the Neo-Geo Magical Drop and I will buy. It's incredible that top games don't find the way to the system.
I do like Magical Drop more than this Puyo Puyo even if it just support only two players.
Puzzle Bobble is good too. Also Puzzle De Pon.

Skipping for good.

Looks decent, though I would prefer a Rez game. Still considering this one.

Looks promising, just for the co-op. Without it wouldn't be that interesting.

Excellent WHAT? This is an overrated game, definitely not as good as Fatal Fury 3 or Real Bout Fatal Fury. Way below!
It had mediocre soundtrack, plasticky animations, bad art direction, etc. It was the new SNK that eventually sinked. Even Fatal Fury 2 was better than this. Still a decent game all considered.
Last Blade, Fatal Fury 3, Real Bout Fatal Fury, King of Fighters '96, Samurai Shodown II. Those are the 'excellent' beat'em up from SNK.

And I'm very unhappy that the Neo-Geo 'cream' does not show up on the Nintendo Switch (except Metal Slug, but while good it does not interest me like in the past).

Fair review. A 6 would have been fair too. It lacks a lot on charisma.
ADK developed better games like Blue's Journey, Ninja Master's and Twinkle Star Sprites.
Trash Rally no, it isn't that good.

@gcunit Me too, that would have made it more interesting to me. I don't know why it's not. You already got it why don't you want to use it?

@rjejr That's what I do now, I lookfor difficulty level after a bad experience with Fast RMX. Then I unlocked everything but it was a pain and didn't enjoyed it so much. Mario Kart 8 is the exact opposite, too easy (still I enjoy it, except the online part that is too much randomy). A moderately difficult game like the last Zelda is good.

Skipping, don't want to be stressed by a game, though thank you for the emphasis on the difficulty part. It would be perfect to have a 'Difficulty' entry (Easy/Moderate/Hard) in the Game Info, just after the Players entry maybe.

Well, people is accustomed to pay for any fart so...
I already paid 70 euro for this. I'll wait for the next game, the true content. Just my opinion.

It actually got good reviews on PC. I bet an 8 here at Nintendolife if they implement all those improvements in time.
I'll buy it for my children eventually. I didn't liked Banjoo-Kazooie 20 years ago, it's not really my cup of tea... Super Mario 64 just put that game in shadow.

@samuelvictor Who knows? It's not out there, it will be out in July.

Paid DLC after? Lol.
Hey there is 'Cloud' too, has it lost his sword? ^^

Now King of Fighters '96, Wind Jammers, Last Blade and Fatal Fury 3 please. I want the best to buy, otherwise I'm not gonna open my wallet.

It's good per se, but they should have excluded it from online. By not doing this they have devalued online.

It was not the best entry in the serie, the best was the 2 if I remember correctly. Not a fan of it, though. And not a fan of ADK.

It's ok and perfectly safe. Next hardware revision will be for the Nintendo Switch.

Seems no one is looking forward to TumbleSeed, though it somewhat interest me.

Too high prices, will not buying anything. Eventually Disgaea 5 if very content rich.
Minecraft is priced ridicously and Street Fighter II too high.

Not a fan of it sincerely. Aero Fighters were far better. This was more graphics than anything else, and today that graphics don't tell the ssme story. Still a decent game, nontheless.

@ACK Well single player is still somewhat good. There is nothing really to unlock, kart parts are only aesthetics. I don't get the 10 sincerely, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe fall short on many aspects. Though, while not perfect, it's still a great game.
This edition is the less hardcore, the Mario Kart for the masses, fine since is a port. Still happy to have bought it, I missed the one before.
I'm ok for nerfs and buffs of techniques, but they have really changed the field this time.

P.S.: I changed to gyro controls (without the wheel) and it seems even easier, Joy-Con sticks lacks precision unfortunately.

@Talkshowhost You can launch items everywhere with the stick. I don't see why you should not with a wheel.

@ACK I found the problem, now I'm cheating too and I am usually in mid tier (6th).
Still I think Nintendo destroyed online by making the game unfair, and I have found the culprits:
1. Assist steering made the weak better. In fact now I too use it and never fall or just take more risks since I'm rewarded. It added randomness.
2. Double items increases the crashes. CPU il less likely to pick them up, while humans strive for it. More randomness added, and sometimes even tops gets last if very unlucky.

So only top stay top since they have an advantage by knowing every technique plus every shortcuts (except if very unlucky), while normal drivers (like me) just can't prove their precise driving and gets mixed along with weak drivers and in the end it's about randomness.
No, I don't like this, I prefer the more fair single player mode where I disable everything and win just for my ability instead of 'no one can fall', 'no one can slow down if taking risks'.

They just f* online and it's not right to justify it. Tops stay tops, normals and weaks now are the same. If it's just luck how can it be fun?

@ACK I tried any setup: balanced, speed, acceleration, etc.
I don't understand why since I'm experienced. I don't take shortcuts generally, I'm very clean in trajectories (worse results by using turbo after Drift/R), though I see many people doing zig-zag and having such good acceleration. And my kart seem so slow.
Also lot of times I get target 3 or 4 times in a row. It's a mess, single player is far more cleaner.
Point is: how are all those players so good when with the Wii U I generally got everytime in the first 4?
