They are way to expensive. They should be smaller than normal amiibo and therefore cheaper. But my biggest problem is that I still don't know what I can do with them ingame. I can train them, like in Smash, okay. But for what? Can only I race against them? Can I let fight mine against an amiibo of a friend? The price tag is not justified when there is so little you can do with the Figuren Player.
I want to let other interested players know that this version is not exactly the same as the other ones. Other versions let you walk around and not just click you to the next screen. Video quality took a hit, too, it seems. Around the release date I read about it on Reddit as much as I could to avoid a probably inferior version.
What I asked for is a version of Farming Simulator with simplified, maybe cartoonish graphics for a better drawing distance and better performance overall. But in 3D and with most of the features the normal version has to offer. Plus multiplayer via local wireless connection. That would be awesome!
6 years in the making and still day one updates that are not included on the cartridge, great... Digital Foundry and SwitchUp also mentioned a patch that improves the frame rate to an often locked 30 fps.
Are these times correct? I wanted to watch some Smash fights yesterday but only saw Mario Strikers on their Twitch channel.
I was looking out for the Panda Cup Almost Pro Open Qualifier 1 slot. Thanks for showing the CET time which was set for 9 PM CET. Wouldn't that be 21 Uhr in Germany? I think so! But again, no Smash tournament was shown.
Man I was absolutely disappointed yesterday. I was waiting for so long to see more footage of the game! And what did they show? 50 seconds? And it only looks okay to be honest. Not bad but not that impressive either.
I hope they show complete matches and give us more information very soon. And hopefully the game will be fun to play in the end. I expect nothing less considering the wrestlers themselves know what makes a great wrestling game.
@WoomyNNYes Thank you so much! I wasn't able to find that version on the eShop on Switch. Had some trouble when trying to log me in on my smartphone since the mail adress I used for my JP account has been deleted/changed. But I finally managed to log me in. Again, thank you very much!
@SwitchForce I also have two 3DS systems but one of them wasn't used that much. I have the same question: Should I put all the updates on both?
And if that makes sense: Do I need a NNID on the second 3DS, too? If so, if I plan to play some games in multiplayer in the future, is it a problem if both systems use the same NNID? For example playing Pokémon X on system 1 and Pokémon Y on system 2.
Is it possible to copy the update data on PC and put it back on the 3DS again later to save some space?
@EVIL-C They will, at least in Europe. This whole LRG exclusive but not exclusive at all thing is getting out of control. Just like the situation with patches. They are nice and welcomed but couldn't they release the physical versions when the games are complete?
The fact that they didn't include german voices for the famous characters puts me off. It just feels weird to hear Mickey Mouse speaking english when you're used to the german voice on Disney Channel.
Well, the late pop-in is comparable. I just hoped things would be handled better on a newer hardware. But the problem is a well known one on Switch so what did we expect?
And to make things worst Crysis 2 and 3 will come to "smaller stores" in Europe via Limited Run Games. But when will this happen? How many will they ship? Will the cartridges be limited over here in Europe? Which stores will sell them and will they take preorders too? And how much will they cost? If it's 50 € for each game we can buy them directly during Limited Runs preorder phase.
@sixrings I wasn't aware that there is no Local Wireless mode, thanks for bringing that up. Man, that's a bummer. You're absolutely right. Why didn't include that Switch feature when Diablo 3 had it?
A few days ago I posted something related on Twitter and added the hashtag #DoTheWitcher3 Unfortunately no one picked it up. We need to show 2K and Rockstar Games what we think about and what we want! Please, go on, use #DoTheWitcher3
That's because of me, I guess. I bought Zero Mission and Fusion after reading the article about the Metroid series here at Nintendolife. Now I have the complete series (on different platforms), despite the fact that I have only played the NES game on 3DS virtual console - and I really hated it. But I'm ready to give the Metroid series another chance by starting with Zero Mission which seems to be the definitive edition of the first game.
Oh boy. I was hoping for a 7/10 at least. I backed the Kickstarter project and paid over 60 € for the game, a couple of extras and mainly to name a villager in the game.
60 €! And the critics say that the normal price is already too high.
I bought the game and I was so disappointed. I tried to get a refund from Nintendo but they refused. Despite the fact that the game was in a really bad state a few weeks after launch.
Never ever will I buy a full-priced digital game again. I learned from that.
I didn't like the Wii U game. It had some cool features like hunger AND thirst. But all in all it was no real challenger for Minecraft and as soon as Minecraft was released, there was no reason to go back to Cube Life.
It's footage from a pre-alpha build, with cinematic camera angles, so I'll wait and see how it will look when it's done. I guess gameplay will be great and that's the most important thing.
"Band Hero" (Wii) and "Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension" (Wii) are still not working. I can klick on "Want" and the other options, but not "Have". I can't put them in my collection.
It's not only the performance issues. The gameplay seems quite overloaded. Sometimes it feels like I don't have everything under control. Zelda's ice block creation, Impa with the need of collecting three runes. And Link's special attack looks so much weaker than the ones from Fire Emblem Warriors.
It's still pretty good and the World Map is nice. But for me Fire Emblem Warriors will probably be the pinnacle of the series.
Oh, that's a bummer. But I liked the demo and today I ordered two copies for some multiplayer fun via Local Wireless mode. I'll play together with my 6 year old son.
Hopefully we'll get some really good updates, especially a harder difficulty and more crafting recipes.
Are there any restrictions when starting with the game now? I mean, was there some content during the Update Phase that are not available anymore now? Or did they bring in nee stuff that is still in there?
Because I bought the game yesterday and I'm curious to see what it brings on the table.
@Kasma88 I expected technical problems with the Jurassic World DLC and didn't buy it.
I downloaded only one DLC from their marketplace (The Legendary Phoenix), which was for free. And it has some serious framerate problems. Creatures are spawning but everything slows down and you're hardly able to fight against them.
I'll never ever download something again from the marketplace or even think of buying a DLC until I have a proof (video review or something) that it's playable on Switch.
@kobashi100 I think the developer could very well be Syn Sophia, formerly known as AKI Corporation - the guys that gave us the awesome N64 wrestling classics. It's probably not the same team anymore but a lot of people who know how to do a wrestling game right could still work there or return.
Concerning the roster: Yes, a good wrestling game needs a CAW mode, but I disagree that AEW's roster isn't strong enough. When I think back to WWF No Mercy or Wrestlemania 2000, I can probably name ten guys of each game that truly were "superstars" but the rest were midcarders at best. But what it really comes down to is the gameplay and the fun the game brings and the N64 titles delivered that despite the mediocre roster.

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The New Kirby Air Riders amiibo?

Re: Reminder: Rate Your Favourite Wii Games
Two games are in the database but can not be added to the collection and therefore can't be rated:

Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension (Wii)

Re: What's Up With The Frame Rate In The Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Demo?

Re: Feature: Best Nintendo Switch Local Wireless Multiplayer Games

No, that's not true. In the main menu you can switch to Local Network and then you're ready to go.
But a world created in that mode can not be played in Online Mode.
