TimboSlice

Finishing last chapter of Agent A (thanks to a hefty sale and the recommendation from this site earlier in the week on hidden gems), TONS of Ninjala (want a better outfit, gotta grind!), and maybe a level or two of Wonderful 101 (which finally arrived from my Kickstarter backing).

Damnit... looks like XCOM2 is gonna have to wait a bit more... there are so many great games to play!!!!! My backlog is a bit impossible at this point....

People need to post their feelings on their IG and Facebook more than sites like these. Let them see the impact because they sure as hell don’t read it here

@theJGG not even!
The small print was added many days after the launch, after many had already pledged.

Got those 3 games for free just recently, but each was more horrible than the next...
No faith this will be any better...

And am I supposed to stop playing Ninjala?! Impossible.
I hated this game at first but it really grows on you.
Those memes with people being so utterly frustrated when they start is SPOT ON. Huge learning curve.

I prefer my case that gives far more protection and space for charging cord and games.
Have no idea the name but it’s a square gray box with section for the joycons as well, separated.
Was like $20

@Daniel36 Hahahah! I’m sure you can draw better than that! 😁👍🏻

Horrible experience all around with this campaign.
What the article doesn’t mention is the fact that Platinum has all but disappeared from their Kickstarter page and has stopped replying to any comments (which they did when everything was positive) there or on their IG, and the shipping company The Yetee is also going radio silent for the most part. Nobody is taking responsibility and there are many of us with no copy at all and tracking numbers that seem to direct them to a package that hasn’t moved in over a week as of this post.

I hope someone organizes a class action suit against them. I have no idea how these things work but if it’s against the Kickstarter policy then they should be held liable.

It’s a total shame.

I really like the look of this and the gameplay.
I’m excited for it!
Haven’t played a game like this before so the genre is new to me, and I like the cell shaded art style.
I’m in!
(By the looks of it I am in the large minority)

@ianl579 there were enough negative reviews from people playing the beta (including me) that should already tell you to not bother....
add to that a release that occurs at 10pm on the day noted? Horrific.

@drewber2635 I’m pretty excited for this too. And I never am concerned with micro transactions. It means if I enjoy the game I can pay a bit to get some stuff, and if not I pay absolutely nothing. Even on games I love I tend to pay far less than a full price game so it’s WELL worth it. And I’m happy to pay some money to support the developers for a job well done!

@Cevil Quick bucks?! You must be an incredible programmer yourself then? Sit down. What do you do for work, can we ask?

In Japan they read books back to front... I just assumed their joycons were reversed as well.

Looks better than the rescue dungeon remake... I’ll definitely try it out!
I like that they are attempting new things, and Free to Play is always a plus (although many will complain of the inherent issues it may bring along as a result).

@Kalmaro then don’t play it.
Millions of people play candy crush, and this is essentially that - available for your Switch.
If you like these games, have fun, if not, no need to bash it cause you think $5 is a big deal.
And just from my playing so far, stamina bars and such haven’t even come close to an issue. I don’t see this game needing any $ investment to enjoy fully.
Regarding the pikachu for purchase, you get another pikachu version for free on your 5th login day.

I hate how people are complaining about the purchaseable pikachu. Calm down. It’s essentially a “skin” and not required to play. The game is FREE. Let people pay a bit of money if they want to, and let the developers make some money for goodness sake.

Played the game up to level 45 so far.
It’s not good.
The mechanic is a bit too finicky for my taste, you can’t always see where your icons are going or what they will touch. I think the gameplay is meant to be a bit random more than precise though, so it may just be on purpose.
Disappointed you don’t get to customize the cafe.. it just does what it wants.
It’s a nice game but not great.
Can see it being decent on smartphones during commute.

@TJuice I’m guessing you haven’t played A9 on Switch. Races are far longer than 10 seconds?! It’s a very flushed out arcade racer. I think people really overlooked it. Awesome multiplayer and no need to spend a penny to be good.

Asphalt9 already scratches this itch VERY well, and is free.

Looking forward to this.
An interesting look and if the gameplay mechanics are decent then looks like a good time filler while the Mrs. watches something I have 0 interest in on TV! 👍🏻😉

@Sunsy thanks!
Happy to try it then (just hate infinite life team death matches).
Loving Warface but could use a change up

2 Questions:
are there modes where you only have one life?

Is there player vs event modes?

I’d rather no news than this news. QUALITY CONTROL PLEASE!

Looks like a gameboy advance game.
Pass.

Reminds me of SEGA Soccer Slam on the XBOX, but not as good.... sadly.
I would love a fun arcadey soccer game.
The visuals on this just look too dark and blurry....
You need a more cel shaded and bright look..

@Razer Agree 100%. Playing the beta was a snore, and watching this was my last attempt to get psyched, but no way... just so boring.
The design is great but watching those battles does nothing to sell it, and it was funny seeing all the camera problems at the beginning (as is expected, but still...).
Too bad...

Sold. Looks awesome and GungHo has a decent track record. Music and art style are right down my alley. Very interested.

Question: Physical release?!

OXENFREE - amazing game.

Sold mine just 3 weeks ago for a sweet $200 thanks to the shortage.
I found Fitness boxing a far better workout and with the 2 player coop it was easily the game to keep.

I’m 6’2 175lbs.
I workout a fair amount and enjoyed Fitness boxing much more. You work up a good sweat far more in FB.

For those looking for a good workout, I’d highly recommend Fitness boxing instead

Damnit. This looks very promising. Wish it was on a Switch calendar somewhere!

This looks so horrible.
They know the average video gamers age is like 30, right?!
And LEGO knows that adults but their regular LEGO sets with no concern... but this Duplo looking stuff is 🤮.

Total missed opportunity.
It doesn’t interact with existing sets....

Looks cool!
Would love a physical release.

Oh no... I may have to stop playing Warface if this is good.
I need confirmation of PvE and also PVP modes with only one life for me to get in.

Love the look and the vibe! And no environment building shown so I’m hoping that’s not in this. I’ll definitely try it out. Looks promising!

@mazzel if you can’t see that the art style, colouring, draw distance, gameplay, and even text look very similar to BOTW, you aren’t prepared for adult discussion. Have fun trolling.

@mazzel yeah can’t be as cool as you...

Depends on cost, and online features are a must.

I would never want to abandon physical cartridges. Love having them. Growing up with NES and having my boxes and cool instruction booklets, I yearn for those days.
Also, as I do sell games here and there, I like having the option to recoup some money on games I don’t want to keep after beating them... and buying games used that I wasn’t too keen to purchase at full price.

I voted NO to send Nintendo a message (I assume this goes straight to Nintendo’s R&D department?!), although I don’t care if they’d make one, but worry it leads to them eventually abandoning physical.

“Drawing Inspiration”? I need to teach my future children about that when they blatantly plagiarize something in their homework.
“No teacher, I just drew inspiration from Jimmy’s essay”

I’ll just wait for the already-confirmed BOTW2.

How can you make something so horrible.
Goddamnit. People butcher this license. Make a good game!
I don’t know why someone can’t take IPs like transformers, GIJOE, HeMan,SheRa,Voltron, etc and make good games.

Very disappointed that Dreamworks never leveraged their Voltron or She Ra remakes into games.... those were amazing reboots.

Ugh. Every time an article on this game comes out I think “I should get this!” And then I read the comments about how poorly it performs... damnit.
Yet some people seem to say it plays fine on Switch.... so confused.

@sportvater they just said “not at this time”. So it’s not for sale now. I mean, for the cost of it I was already very hesitant - and that was at the early bird 35% off. I’m not gonna pay the full price fo sho.

@YANDMAN yeah... and it took me forever looking for their email... had to reach out through their Instagram... although they did respond in 5 minutes

Unfortunately I reached out to the company and only the red version is available.
The video shows a few different options, the retro black look and NES version specifically caught my eye.
Too bad as I would have jumped on of one of those were available...

There’s no reason they can’t do DLC now, right?!?!
Get to it!
A great way to bring people back.
Charge for it! I would happily pay.

That all said, MP is a great game and tons of fun when people come over. (Don’t play the board game, just play the mini games on random)
Also, every now and then I’ll go back to the multiplayer online and it’s always enjoyable as a distraction.

I don’t even know what I’d want in DLC... I guess more games? Or maybe some flushed out online multiplayer game?
Hmmmm, I think just more games. People rage quit already in online battles when I get 1000 points in that football one and they get KO’d in the first 20seconds! 😂

Coming out in physical copy at ebgames in Canada next month!
Love me some physical copies!
And odd that it’s coming to retail when I thought it was only special limited editions....

@Kienda you can’t do that. You have to enter the number in the eshop.

@mesome713 every single company on my IG is posting this stuff.

@Kaori-chan these donations aren’t going to do anything. Do you know that most charities take upwards of 50 cents on every dollar, many way more than that, before it gets to those actually in need? It’s crazy. That’s why I always donate my time when doing charity... or for example give pet food to animal shelters so you know it can’t be misappropriated.

@graysoncharles but that’s the irony of it all. You can’t even post an article in a video game site for fear of what people will say?! Crazy. And eliminating free speech on it also seems odd.... but I get it, people are morons. Just thought I’d point it out.

The graphics are pretty bad I’m docked and handheld, and quite a bit of lag... but this is XCOM so it’s pretty amazing regardless, and you don’t need precision timing on controls.

I am upset and the very few face options... is that normal?

Also, the game is HARD!
I played enemy unknown till the end in normal, and halfway on the more difficult levels...

But this one, on normal, is KILLING ME.
The freaking snakes that counterattack each move and grab you from a mile away?!?! What the hell.

Why are comments disabled for the Nintendo press release article?! Hahahah.
That is hilarious.
