I've been a bit wary to install CFW to my Wii U, so this is great news. Hopefully there's an undiscovered exploit that will allow stock 3DSes to connect to Pretendo.
I'm going to throw out a highly controversial and radical suggestion to WB: how about they focus on making good games before trying to bleed money out of people.
There are going to be 4 more spirit events. It's bizarre how Nintendo stopped doing them after Sora came out, barring the Street Fighter 35th anniversary event. I'm hoping there will be more to come after these 4, but I'm not expecting it.
I'm shocked it took Lego this long to make a full Lego Sonic toyline. You'd think they would have done more to tie in with Sonic's appearance in Lego Dimensions in 2016.
I'm so glad they're letting you adjust the jump deceleration for cyberspace. That was easily the most annoying thing about those levels, especially the 2D stages. I hope they continue to improve the cyberspace physics as there are certain issues that are still present in the game.
All of these mobile/F2P game crossovers with Transformers have made me realize how much money Hasbro is leaving on the table by not greenlighting huge Transformers video game projects. Marvel and DC have shown that these kinds of games can do well commercially and critically. What's Hasbro's excuse?
Keep in mind that these NFT "projects" aren't for the fans who actually play the games. They're for morons who have to keep convincing themselves they're not wasting their life on digital receipts because they're so deep into the grift.
I just want them to allow me to change the default form of a Pokémon's entry in the Pokedex. This has been a feature of the games since Black and White and it baffles me how they messed it up in this game.
If the GB/GBA Pokemon games come to NSO, I hope they find a way to let you trade Pokemon across games on the same system and let you transfer them to Pokemon Home. I tried doing local multiplayer with 2 Switches registered to the same NSO account and I could not get it to work. Hopefully they find a workaround for this problem.
Nintendo can add microtransactions to their games and I guarantee there will be people on this site that will try to justify them and say why they're good. I don't know why a fair amount of people are ok with game companies making things worse for all of us.
So what is this game doing to warrant the extra $10? I'm not buying Sony's and Microsoft's excuses to raise prices, so I'm certain Nintendo's excuse will have even less of a leg to stand on.
How do you change the default form for a given Pokemon in the Pokedex? I know since Gen V all you had to do was switch the form you were viewing and you were good. In SV for me, when I do that it works until I leave the Pokedex, where it resets all the changes I made.
I remember seeing copies of this game readily available in stores and in store flyers as recent as a few months ago. I guess Planet Entertainment wanted to get as much money out of this game before having to pay Office Create.
@Pikki I think it's just a general issue with game reviews: people spend more time arguing the number a game is assigned at the end of a review than the actual content of the review.
@Tendogamerxxx A lot of people online, including myself, are having fun with this game. I'm not enjoying it because I have to as a Sonic fan, I'm enjoying it because I think it's a good game. I know Sonic Team can and has made good 3D Sonic games and I want them to know that this is the right direction for the franchise to head toward.
@benmalsky198 I know you don't agree with the reviewer and like the game, but going to every comment with a tinge of negativity and telling them they're wrong or to just buy the game anyway is not helping. It's not going to make the game any better than it is or isn't and it makes you look immature. I don't agree with this score as with a fair amount of people here and on other sites, but instead of attacking people who don't like it, try having a constructive conversation instead of whatever you're doing.
What are these glitches you had during platforming and combat? I haven't run into any in my playthrough of the Switch version so far. I will admit that the enemy lock on is a bit crap, but I'm still able to adjust the camera to keep track of the enemies. I do sometimes fall off of platforms or miss a rail, but that's on me.
If this port came out at least by the end of 2019, we definitely would have seen something NieR related in Smash. I feel 2B has enough to work with to give her a proper moveset as a Smash character with A2 as an echo.
@BabyYoda71 I've heard that the more missions you complete, the more stuff becomes available in the overworld. I haven't played the game, so you'd be better off reading or watching people's impressions of the demos Sega's shown off.
I knew something was up about the offer she said she got. She never mentioned how many sessions she would be doing for the $4000 and never gave an idea of how much she made for the prior Bayonetta games. Given Bloomberg vetted the info and journalists from other websites are confirming this, I feel Schreier's report has merit to it.
I highly doubt there will be enough people cancelling their preorders or outright skipping the game to negatively effect Platinum's or Nintendo's bottom lines. Activision, Blizzard, and Ubisoft have done some seriously messed up stuff to their employees, such as crunching their developers and enabling hostile work environments. Despite this, people still buy their games.
I really wish we could get more info on how the customization options for Sonic's handling, speed, and acceleration effect the gameplay. I'd love to have Sonic's physics be similar to Unleashed/Colors/Generations in the boost stages.
@Bunkerneath They set the S-Rank time to the maximum time allowed for this demo. Obviously the S-rank time will not be this easy to get in the final game.
If I buy the Revelations path and map packs for the physical copy of Fates Conquest, will the DLC also be compatible with a Fates Birthright physical copy?
You guys might as well put out your review of the game now. It's not like you're going to get much wrong as this has been the 5th time EA's put the same game on the Switch.
While I'm not sure who's to blame for the MJ-produced Sonic 3 songs not appearing in Origins, it sucks to see a great game soundtrack get butchered over licensing issues.
@GinMiguel I was just watching a guy play through Forces and it made me remember how basic and short the levels in the game were. I've been playing through the Xbox 360 version of Sonic Unleashed and it surprised me with how much stuff there was to do in each stage and how complex the level design was. Hopefully, the amount of care in Unleashed's levels can be replicated in Frontiers's open areas and cyberspace stages.
