Preordered it digitally a long time ago. Was super looking forward to it. But it turned out to be a letdown for me personally. Looks and feels more like a $30 game. Not a premium AAA price game.
@VoidofLight You can just make an EU account for it. No need for payment options on a demo. And delete the account again after playing of it bothers you.
Just played for two hours or so. It really has a shareware feel to it. Unfinished and kinda half baked. And it actually doesn't look that great either. Which is crazy considering it is the newest flagship AAA title from Nintendo. I mean, it looks okay. But compared to MK8 it feels like a waaaay older game.
I just with they would include the original as well on all these remake releases. Like they did back then with the Monkey Island SE. With one button you could change between the original and the new graphics and sounds.
Cool for Nintendo and everybody else. Except me. Because the only game I really crave (SO MUCH) is Tony Hawk. But the gameplay in the direct did not look too good sadly. And to top it all, eve the homescreen icon uploaded by Activision is blurry: http://www.switchiconshowdown.com/detail.php?id=5959
Someone please tell me that everything will be ok anyway.
@BoilerBroJoe Yeah sounds rather grey area. But maybe they can try to pitch it to the copyright holder after they are finished.
I know that the world does not work like this.
But would be cool if a company like LRG just buys the license for the US and "takes care" about the translation officially. Meaning they work together with the people already translating it and handle all the license stuff.
I had them all but could not understand them. Just walking around in the amazing(!) locations was still satisfying.
Needless to say that I am more than excited about this news.
Exactly my cup of tea.
Yeah the loading times made me delete it again after two rounds or so. A games like this has to boot quick and you need to be in a game fast. Like Mario 35.
@Silly_G I think the character customization is pretty amazing and fits great to the overall graphic style. (Which I agree looks not so good on still pictures)
I am happy that games are beginning to feel way more timeless than before with all the remasters and ports. Soon it hopefully will be the same as with movies and books.
Same value no matter the age.
@stckfigure Warcraft 2 oh boy ... the feels. I actually played it as a browser version a few month ago again. Was unplayable like this though. But ... the feels ...

Re: Overwatch 2 Is Still Coming To Switch, But Blizzard Will Have To Make "Some Compromises"
Taking into account how good Overwatch 1 looks and plays on Switch I don't see a problem here. Sounds like the natural thing to do in that situation.

Re: Review: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 - A Rock Solid Switch Port For A Pair Of Pros
@Manjushri Hey. I feel the same. Have you tried to use the original control options that are included? Helped my muscle memory a lot.
Re: Review: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 - A Rock Solid Switch Port For A Pair Of Pros
Ok so I bought the JP version which was playable 7 hours earlier. I am approx 5 hours in. The old flame is still burning 🔥
Re: Review: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 - A Rock Solid Switch Port For A Pair Of Pros
They did upload a blurry homescreen icon though.

The real question is, does the intro still use Comic Sans?
Re: What's Next On Switch? Here's An Infographic Of The Games For 2021 And Beyond
Honestly the only stuff I am interested in is Tony Hawk (and that direct trailer had me worried tbh) and maybe Diablo II.
I think I have to sell my Switch at some point …

Re: Video: Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp Switch Vs. GBA Comparison

Re: Doug Bowser Responds To Reports About "Upgraded Switch Replacement" (Again)

Re: Doug Bowser Responds To Reports About "Upgraded Switch Replacement" (Again)
I probably would enjoy my Switch way more without reading on Reddit and news websites all the time.

Re: Dragon Quest XII: The Flames Of Fate Is Running On Unreal Engine 5
I guess I am the only one who dislikes most Unreal Engine ports on Switch.
But I guess if they do this one, the do it properly.

Re: Talking Point: When Was The Last Time A Game Cracked Your Top Five?
1) Grim Fandango
2) REZ
3) Secret of Monkey Island
4) Jet Set Radio Future
5) Kuru Kuru Kururin
And Street Fighter 2 would get a special spot for being the game that I always make sure to have around and easy to access since the 90s.
