Cool idea, but the game play looks horrendous. I so want to be wrong, but I wasn't wrong about Double Dragon.

Two of the dullest shooters to exist, give us Outzone for christs sake.

@Teksetter it is absolutely incredible, one of the best. I cannot believe there are shooter fans that aren't or haven't played it.

It's a possibility, but sales figures are slowing down, however, they do still have another 18 months.

@JeanPaul Without it, it's going to be a trainwreck, and the fact that they are seemingly being led by developers requests is insane.

Saw this in System Gamer Magazine a few months ago, it looks absolutely fantastic and is highly rated.

@riderkicker Simply publishing.

This is genuinely fantastic news.

@TenEighty In the Switch's case, yes, very very much so. It was underpowered at launch and now it's a wheezing old man. Yes, there are lots of great games for the system, but more and more develop[ers are either swerving it or having to put in far more time than they can afford to get games running. And the end results are massively downgraded. Running with 4gb of ram in 2023 and beyond is laughable.

Another great SWITCH port. The new one cannot come soon enough. The system is so old it's killing games now.

Looks like AEW DLC for Fortnite.

@Spanky84 nope, they don't. Did I say they did? I'm unsure of your point?

I want a game that looks like the cartoon.

@Darthmoogle You wanna jump on that quick, as the last time I looked it was getting expensive.

Definitely getting it, but I think I'll opt for another platform. The old switch, is well...OLD.

@Greatluigi Well, whilst I don't condone online bullying, it is understood that people felt negatively toward it. Cuphead was an entirely unique aesthetic that had never been done before. To copy not only the style, but also the game play, was pretty silly. Imagine if somebody suddenly made a 2D platformer, based around two brothers who are builders, and the enemy is called Queen Joopa, but also maintained it was an original idea.

It's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! Looks different, slower maybe? I wish them well.

@BrianJL I don't like them, but I love this. I've just got done playing the demo, and it is amazing. Do not be put off, remember this is a multi-player game too.

For me, this was the best announcement of the direct. A true dream come true. I've just played the PC demo and confirm it's really fun, and looks gorgeous. Quite demanding even on low settings, so this will definitely be a 30fps on Switch.

@Darthmoogle Fully agree. A dream come true. I just played it, and it's reaLLY GOOD.

Just give us a port of Devastation already.

@Crockin That's for the next console.

Please don't spend twenty pointless minutes on Pikmin. Do show us Metroid Prime, bujt, that won't happen until we hear about the next console as that's where it will release.

@RawBert shmup is awful.

ASTRO PORT, always has those fuzzy, muddy graphics. They look bad.

@summerwalkin well it's graphically about 100% nicer, on powerful systems, than the last game, so take from that what you will.

Definitely want one. Hori split pads are brilliant, but still have a little bit of flex due to the connection. This looks perfect.

Not even in the slightest. Prince of Persia is dull at best.

Well, it's a much higher graphical fidelity than the previous game. The previous game on the switch wasn't pretty. Case closed. The reality is, play it on another system.

New Final Fight and Captain Commando

I love the series, but the art style really isn't good here. Chibi, with low detail, and also seems like far too much voice sampling.

@Lord Agreed. It really ruins it for me.

Well, this collection is about seven million times better than the first, and actually warrants a purchase.

@JohnnyC Sure.

The facts are the switch is a tired old man and people cannot be bothered to spend the required time trying to get games to run on it. I love the system dearly, but the sooner we get an upgrade the better. Unfortunately, as long as kids who have no grasp of the possible technical flaws of a game continue to buy the system, Nintendo's analysts will blindly assume that it's still perfect. Although, I'm still certain we'll either see it or hear about the replacement this year.

@JohnnyC The released game was much better than the demo.

This is one sequel I never imagined we would see. The original is a good game that got swallowed up in a vacuum and forgotten. I know very few people who bothered to try it, despite it getting quite a big initial push and being one of the first big games on switch to have a pre-release demo. It's a mech game, that's either your thing or it isn't, they all can get tedious, and this one is no exception, but, it's also really fun.

@Simon97 Evolution denotes the gore will only increase, that is what it is. Die hard fans of the series would likely become fairly opinionated, if they suddenly released a game that was vastly cut back. Yes, the violence is quite excessive, but it was also quite excessive in 1992, and the world was a vastly different place then, to the one that we live in now. That's that whole evolution thing. We live in a terrible, and violent world, those are simple facts. If this game isn't for you, don't buy it. The bulk of the people who will make up the sales, do love it, and expect it. It's there not only as the hallmark of the franchise, but to boost and guarantee sales. There are far worse things in the world to be concerned with than fantasy violence in video games, which are optional to view and play. Your daily news shows you far worse every day, do you think young persons should not be allowed to watch that as well? I would personally like to see a reboot of Mortal Kombat from the Xbox 360. That game was the perfect homage to the classic days of the series and didn't feature this hi-def gore, but still retained enough to be faithful. The drive for sales, and the need to shock, means that the MK games will continue on the path seemingly forever. But, you must remember, the violence hasn't really changed, only the ability to present it and the world around it has.

@Dark_Isatari I think that's pretty much the point. It's a video game. Fantasy.

Cannot wait, best looking Warhammer game since...well...ever really.

@DuckHunter 17.99

@Kilroy The main producer of the game is actually Terarin, This article has completely missed that point. He creates very good quality shooters, but this price is silly.

Impressive pedigree, and a good looking game, but £30 for a digital shooter is a big ask, and I'm the target audience. I'm also surprised that there's no mention here of Terarin as he is the main producer of the game.

1000000% agree, but it shouldn't be in the claymation Links Awakening style. It ought to be like Dragon Ball fighters, bright anime, with really fluid animation. That would be epic.

My insomnia led me to discover this on pop a few years ago in its regular 2 a.m slot, and I'm glad it did. Kinda like Scooby Doo.

I love the aesthetic, I love cassette tapes, I love monsters. This could be epic.

@GameOtaku 'IT'S A PORT' So literally not the same, it is not the arcade version, it is a version of the arcade. Two entirely different things. That's like saying Final Fight on the SNES also was released on the Capcom beat-em-up collection.

@Zulzar if I lacked comprehension, I would have accepted your nonsensical explanation regarding classic games, as good.

@Dekowolke Amazon.De surely?

@Zulzar Yep, this one guy and his 1000 copies of the worst game in the series has single-handedly affected the classic game market.
