This sounds a bit like the degenerate "music" we've been subjected to in Yoshi games for the last decade

No more Metroidvanias please

That trailer doesn't do much for me (kind of hard to make a thoughtful walking simulator look exciting), but the developers seem to have talent. Could be good! October didn't really need another surprise release though :/

@MysticX OK, I guess you're right. The character names and descriptions are definitely new info exclusive to this trailer

Judging by all trailers to this point (including the original E3 reveal), this apparently features two monsters the entire game, and you will be allowed to attack them with only a single spinning jump flame punch.

Seriously, I was interested in this game at first, but
now it's really glaring and odd that they have recycled the same handful of gameplay snippets for every single trailer

This review perfectly sums up why the 10 point review scale for video games is such a joke. Transposed to a 4 star scale, this review would be the equivalent of a 3 or 3 and 1/2 star game - in other words, a game that is almost the very best you can get. Are you really saying Mario Kart World Tour is one of the best uses of our time compared to the hundreds of other games that have released this year?

@Galenmereth you must not be a busy gamer, then!

I was really confused about how the game will play before this new trailer, but now I know you will use your eureka to battle foes

@Kobeskillz Or! Let's say they reduced that deep discount sale price to $1.00 and they only sold 30% of the sales they did when priced at 9 cents. That's a massive increase in profit.

My point here is just that I feel kind of bad for the developer having sold 100K copies and not making much money.

@Silly_G good point, I didn't think about that. All the more reason to not drop the price so much. I mean, let's say it was 25 cents... People would still have bought it up like mad and the developer would have made a lot more $$.

Btw I'm totally in the same boat as you when it comes to these bargain games. Even if a game is practically free, it's usually not worth the time that would be needed to play through it.

So, wait, the Membrane developer only made $9,000 from his 100,000+ sales? Is it REALLY worth it to reduce your game so drastically for such paltry profits?

I don't want to let myself get too excited, but can you even imagine how good a new Legends game could be on modern HD consoles???

This was already on my radar, but I'm way more interested in the game now after reading this interview. Thanks for bringing attention to these developers and the work they've been doing!

I'm not sure I see where the story is in these reports. Employees who say their boss is difficult to work with and says inappropriate things in private outside of the office? Um welcome to life on Earth. Developers who changed contracts offered by Nicalis and then don't get a response back or parking lot "deals" not being honored? Welcome to doing business.

I'm all for the world of gaming journalism to take strides beyond "xxxx game releasing on xxxx date!" but this isn't the way to do it. How about Kotaku (or other sites) start putting effort into publishing stories about the hard working people at Nicalis who are NOT making racial jokes? Show us what it is like to work at a game publishing company. Put a spotlight on those "passionate" workers mentioned in the piece who play a part in bringing our favorite games to the world. Not this crap that is trying its hardest to imitate those tabloids you find next to the register at your local supermarket.

@Steel76 I think the camera man is a member too. Those violent pans and zooms were crazy fast

This sadly looks like a crappy budget game reaching beyond its means... but hopefully it's good! A sprawling 3D Zelda-like would be a welcome addition to the Switch library

I was into this until a saw some raw gameplay footage that hadn't edited and cut into a slick looking trailer. The raw footage looked really unpolished. I hope it reviews well, though! I'd love to have some more DKCR inspired platforming in my life

Edit: Oops. I just watched the raw gameplay embedded in this article and it looks great hahah. I'm looking forward to it again!

The GOG.com update is interesting... Sounds very similar to another Disney game that was recently delisted! Could more collections be incoming?

"The resolution was too low" must be this generation's version of blaming your deaths on the controller

@Ralizah Playtonic said in an interview recently that Switch was basically their target platform for this game, I'm sure it will run fine!

Also: YAAAAAA!! Oct is a lot sooner than I was expecting

@tzahn oh awesome, that looks pretty good too. Thanks for pointing it out!

@tzahn haha Redwall! What a shame they never made any games based on that series

That handdrawn animation is nice, but overall the game looks a little too early in development to be showing off footage to the world

Oh lame, what? The"new" monkey ball game is a port of a 10+ year old Wii game? How disappointing.

Dear Pokemon fans: If you're not happy with sword and shield's preview trailers (since that is the only thing the game can be judged on since nobody has played it), then when your teacher has the class write letters to Santa Claus for Xmas this year, make sure to be CLEAR that you want to take a stand against Gamefreak and would NOT like Pokemon as a gift. Also, I don't want to spoil anything for you prematurely, but you should make sure to tell your parents what you wrote in this letter as well. Just make sure to be strong when the game is released and your best friend brings his Switch to school to show you how awesome it is. Kindly let him know that you have principles and explain to him the meaning of the word lazy and how it applies to adults in Japan that you have never met, and then take your leave to the swing sets.

Pokemon fans suck.

If I found out several enemies or main characters in BotW 2 were reusing animations from the original, I'm not sure I would care in the slightest. Why is this anyone's concern?

How is this even possible??!

I like this. It reminds me of the Nintendo from my youth that would delay all their games a frustrating number of times, but in the end consistently release products that were head and shoulders above the competition. Hopefully this delay is truly because they want to make LM3 a stellar product

@chardir True. The billion dollar headline makes it seem like a bigger deal than it is. The stock went from $45.50 yesterday to $43.50 today. Not a huge drop. And it will probably go back up again soon

I can't see this being related to Animal Crossing.
Nintendo still has plenty of games coming out. It's not like delaying Animal Crossing will leave them without anything to sell. And Pokemon would beat AC in sales as a holiday exclusive 10 times out of 10. This seems to me more like a group of investors that were hoping for a large increase in revenue from a new console to sell

Looks good. For a game based on classic RPGs, it seems like they're trying to do a lot more with the concept than just pixel art & turn based battles and calling it a day. I'll be keeping an eye on how this one turns out

It all looks so so bad 😂😂😂

Also, I'm just now realizing that there are giant mushrooms behind Dr. Robotnik in that last picture. Huh??

@Kiz3000 I'm wondering the same thing. Anyone know if the Star Fox character pack is what unlocks the new missions?

I got the Deluxe Edition on sale for about $30 bucks. I think the game is worth more, though, and will gladly support the hard work of the developers with a paltry additional $12 for some brand new quality content. Seems like the game underperformed in Ubi's eyes too, so I view buying paid DLC as a personal vote for them to allow this cool new IP to continue on into the future

"Non-existent Switch Pro Will Not Make Previously Unannounced Release Date!"

Nice review. I picked this up on your recommendation and have been enjoying it a lot

@ChromaticDracula Have you gotten Fast RMX yet? If not, it sounds like exactly what you are looking for

Haha that's pretty convincing actually. Might have to go try it out soon

Make sure to give them a review guys! Most people will just skip it otherwise

@pbb76 that pop-in is horrendous on Switch, sheesh

@OorWullie me too! So I'll probably be heading over to Nintendo World Report tomorrow since they actually post e-shop reviews

@Dromosus I noticed that too. My thought was that perhaps we are finally seeing games that were designed specifically with the Switch's capabilities in mind start to come to completion

@R1spam haha, unfortunate that this is a legitimate question these days

You know, so many companies are releasing these "Classics Collections" these days. It makes me wonder if Virtual Console was nixed by these other company's plans to get into the nostalgia business

This could be huge

Are they sure those characters aren't already in Hollow Knight...?

You forgot "Chucking your Joycon across the room in a fit of drift-induced rage"! This method has worked for me several times already.

Seriously, though, thanks for this guide. The step by step instructions and clear pictures are especially appreciated.

@60frames-please it's got a great launch sale going on right now. 30% off until Thursday. Now might be one of the best times to pick it up if you're interested

Let's not forget that Nintendo resurrecting a canceled game series is still just a rumor as well. Everyone is acting like that's a certifiable fact now and the only thing left to confirm is which game is being revived
