I like that the Review clearly appreciates it for what it is and what it want's to be. Style over substance is not a bad thing when style IS the substance and motivation behind a work. Same for movies and writing.
@Splodge I was hardcore into DMG collecting and the modding and homebrew scene a few years ago. It really is freaking great. Could not work with a less iconic system like the GBA.
OG GB games is what I crave the most on the Switch. HOWEVER the few I could play so far (Saga Collection, Mystic Quest) really lost a lot of charm without the original hardware.
But that app would have sooooo much playtime on my account anyway if they add QIX, SHANGHAI and BATTLE CITY.
That is cute. I wish we would get more options like this for our Switch user icons. Even though the Mii option is kinda trying that. But my friend list still feels like it is repeating always the sane icons.
Wow imagine dreaming your whole life to become a comic writer and hope to work on Batman someday. And then it actually happens but you have to add Fortnite to it.
Yeah I am like 20 hours in and I love and hate it at the same time. And both for the same reasons. It is super frustrating but also very fascinating because of that. Does that makes sense?
@Doombario Oh wow I was not aware that this is a thing. If anything I think Overwatch is almost trying a bit too hard to be progressive and inclusive. To the point that it feels unnatural and forced.
I still love the game though, and I respect them for doing that.
From a graphic design standpoint I really like the jp version. Way more than the others. Looks like a book. Which fits to this game.
The others look to much like a quiz show to me.
@SeantheDon29 I already have all three Robot Wars (from the Hk shop though because the newest one didn't habe english in the digital version on the jp store). And also some japan only games that I can manage with screen translation on the phone.
I just think in this case I would struggle too much.
@SeantheDon29 Thank you! Well then I habe to wait a bit more. It is really tough on me because I really want to play the upcoming eBaseball as well. Gotta learn Japanese soon I guess.
@AuroraBoreale I am german and the whole thing is full of the stuff you mentioned.
BUT it is clearly a over the top ironic thing without a political meaning in that direction.
If I had to guess, I think they do it like Starship Troopers or Warhammer 40K though. Where the human military are actually the bad guys if you think about it for a second. (And both are based on germany in WW2 as well)
@ViewtifulJotun I feel the same regarding the name. Sounds like something you cut off of food before you cook it or something. "Don't forget to get rid of that smelter first".

Fun fact: Evangelion and Shin Godzilla are by the same director.

So did Overwatch steal the Flashback logo or die Flashback 2 steal the Overwatch logo?

Like Vincent Gallos "The Brown Bunny"
Edit: Also I think this review is 100% spot on.
Re: Overwatch Director Jeff Kaplan Leaves Blizzard After Almost 20 Years

Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 12.0.1 Is Now Live

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #83 - Brain Age / Brain Training
From a graphic design standpoint I really like the jp version. Way more than the others. Looks like a book. Which fits to this game.
The others look to much like a quiz show to me.
Re: Rumour: Is Something Going On Between Microsoft And Nintendo?
The rumors around the Switch are getting super annoying for me. MLB The Show, Game Pass, Switch Pro ... and nothing really happens except Tony Hawk.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #82 - Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble
Also went with japan, but also really like them both.
Re: Talking Point: Which Indie Game Should Be "99"ed Next?
@CammyUnofficial Or just that the last one get kicked each round. Last man standing. But 99 on the track would be a bit crazy.
Re: Talking Point: Which Indie Game Should Be "99"ed Next?
Not indie, but SNES F-Zero would be cool

@GrailUK Hahaha omg. I am german so I did not noticed it at first.
Our „the“ is mostly done with „die“. That should also be some possibility for unintentional brutality.

Anybody know if it is twin stick?
Does not look like it in the video. But I can't tell for sure.
Re: SturmFront - The Mutant War: Übel Edition Will Shred Up the Switch Soon
@AuroraBoreale I am german and the whole thing is full of the stuff you mentioned.
BUT it is clearly a over the top ironic thing without a political meaning in that direction.
If I had to guess, I think they do it like Starship Troopers or Warhammer 40K though. Where the human military are actually the bad guys if you think about it for a second. (And both are based on germany in WW2 as well)
Re: Review: Neo Geo Pocket Color Selection Vol.1 - SNK's Handheld Classics Come To Switch

Re: Smelter Blends Side-Scrolling Action With Top-Down Strategy, And It's Coming To Switch

Game looks pretty great though.
