I agree with the majority of commenters here. Barring those who haven’t released a game before except in specific circumstances seems wise to me. It may be a blanket way of dealing with it, but it sounds like a good general rule. Plus, it’s been reported before that this is one of Nintendo’s guidelines.
I am really liking it. I think we switch gamers are pretty tolerant of these shortcomings. I’ve only noticed a few glitches / rough patches that stood out or affected my enjoyment.
A lot of people I think are confusing the design choices in the sonic movie for laziness. They’re intentional, and they’re not great. It’s like when the directors of the Mario movie decided to make the Mushroom Kingdom into a dark gritty dystopia. At least the rest of it looks like a banal kids movie, destined to be forgotten.
I remember when I first started writing for Nintendo Life back in 2009 or 2010. I had mostly stopped paying attention to video games and I needed to do a lot of research to catch up. Two of the first series about which I saw news stories on here, and which I hadn’t even heard of before, were Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton. So they’ve always occupied a weird space in my brain. I never got around to playing any of the entries on DS or 3DS, but now that Phoenix and potentially this are coming to Switch, I feel excited and almost obligated to play them. I’m glad to finally be giving these series a try!
@JaxonH he’s done some freelance work for Nintendo Life. Most memorably, maybe, was one that was recently part of a certain scandal involving another writer plagiarizing him...
Corbie, I didn’t know you designed levels for this game! I just beat it and saw your name in the credits. Conflict of interests much? Haha, but it’s a super fun game! I played it on Switch of course. EDIT: Haha maybe you just helped with the Ghost levels in the Wii U release? My bad! I think i unlocked you as a secret character!
