Never understood competitive Pokemon and never will, but thats fine. There are plenty of people who do enjoy it and good on them. I'll just stick to my casual experience with it. If Im feeling competitive I'll play Pokemon TCG
Even if you aren't a fan of the roster picks, you still have to appreciate the work and love these dudes (Sakurai and his team) have put into the game. They set the bar extremely high but Im sure we will see Smash again in the future with some much needed upgrades (ex: an actual story mode; no clones/echo fighters; premium costumes for the fighters; somewhat smaller, more balanced roster, and even more surprise guest fighters).
Honestly I feel like Nintendo is trying to see what they can get away with like most entertainment companies. Im not getting this because I have access to the whole n64 and sega libraries already. Not gonna shill out more money just to play it on my switch
Im still deciding if I even want to bother paying more for this. I have all of these games available through ROMs and have a dedicated retro machine (linux PC). It would be nice to have them on the go though...we shall see
Was a cloud version really needed? Maybe for 3 but they could have easily ported the older ones over. Ill skip this and just get the collection on PC. Plus anything after 2 just is bad IMO
Assuming I can even buy one currently (spoiler alert, they aren't available anywhere) then maybe at some point I will upgrade. But honestly I think I will just wait until the Switch successor comes out before I buy another console. I do however want to buy the new dock and the white joy-cons
Not sure why you guys had to follow the memes and put Goku in the list. He will never be in Ultimate or even a Smash game for that matter. He's an anime character not video game.
@NoTinderLife Yea but you are going to be playing games most of the time right? So the theme being black or white really won't make much of a difference for OLED
Black, white background on any electronic screen is just bad on the eyes. I use dark themes whenever possible. Still, Nintendo really needs to hop on the theme bus. Its been a solid 4 years and nothing yet
Looks like fine, needs some polish though which Im sure they will get to. Hoping to see some more characters that represent other jobs like Monk, Blue Mage, and Dragoon
I tried the demo last night and I am definitely a fan. It feels like a mix of a visual novel and RPG with card mechanics which is great. I just wonder how many characters will be in the final version (party members). Hope there is a big variety of them
This should be some kind of indicator that hybrid consoles are the way to go, as long as there is a strong library to back it up. It offers something for everyone
I feel like they will mix up the dex for this game, the starters being a clear sign of that. Also Braviary is a Gen 5 pokemon and it got a regional variant. Like everyone else, I want my favorites in here so bad but I won't be mad if they limit the dex
Oh man, can't wait to play at 2 FPS ...joking aside, I really do hope they work out that issue. The first trailer looked ROUGH. The gameplay elements, art, and setting all look fantastic they just need to nail down the graphics and performance. If they can make it like how BotW runs, I will be happy
@ThatNyteDaez you are the first person I’ve seen that says Gengar is broken lol I’ve never had issues playing against Gengar. And it’s not pay to win. You can upgrade yourself items without spending a dime and also there is no option to buy the item currency to level up items so not sure what you are talking about
@Hinade I think they are getting the popular ones out of the way first then we will see more less popular mons. Although I wouldn’t say crustle is popular but he is already in the game lol
I bought the game for the second time on Steam (originally got the Switch physical version) since I want to support the devs and the game itself. $20 and I got the full game plus the new DLC. So glad I did since the Switch DLC has been a nightmare so far.
Overhyped for sure. Its a good game but I'm not paying $60 dollars for a 10 year old game that has better controls and slightly better graphics. I'll wait to get it on sale
@Cheez Stop. It's not pay to win, it's pay for a slight advantage. You can still get everything with a free account, sure at a much slower rate but still
Wow, that Sheikah game looks awesome (concept wise). I wish Nintendo would make this a thing, I would love a spin-off game where I play as a Sheikah monk/ninja
I still think people saying they hate or dont like MOBAs should give this one a shot if its the only barrier stopping you. The MOBA mechanics in this game are very light compared to LoL or DOTA. Its definitely more of a casual experience
Just reserved my Valve Deck. I already have a Switch (OG version) and its still great. My switch never leaves my place so the bigger screen and stand does nothing for me. However, I also have a gaming PC with a big Steam library and being able to have all of those games available in my living room, bed, toilet (lol but true), etc is amazing.
I think it looks great but I wouldn't have a use for it personally. If I really want to play a PC exclusive game it will be..well on my PC. Im not a on-the-go gamer though so there is that. I think more companies should go the hybrid route like this as it makes a lot of sense in today's age but we shall see
As someone who never takes their switch outside of their home, this version is not for me. The only time I play in handheld mode is when I’m in bed but that’s it. Can’t justify this purchase BUT if you are someone who a) doesn’t have a switch yet or b) plays on the go majority of time (especially with other people) then it’s fine
This is definitely a pass for me. I love the white design for the joy cons and the dock but that's about it, everything else is the same. Don't want to pay another $350 for a bigger screen and better kickstand. Already have a ethernet adapter for my switch so I don't care about the built in one. I'm sure I will be able to get the joy cons and dock separately at some point so that's fine for me
I don't care for any of these characters so it doesn't effect me, just wish they would hurry up and reveal the last fighter already. Last one that actually got me excited was DQ Hero
Can't justify the price to content ratio. If it was a 30 dollar game, yes it would be a day one purchase for me. But 60 dollars for 5 courses and an emphasis on a whacky multiple mode? Nah
