@NEStalgia - Good to know you’re still kicking, us blue haired old folk can’t take that for granted. I’m still reading what interests me here, but don’t usually have much to say in the comments or the forums. Been trying to work Time Extension into my reading, schedule, but it’s not quite what I had hoped. Wish the best for you, keep yelling at clouds and whacking these kids in the shins with your cane.
@WiltonRoots - Ah, now I see. I enjoy a good troll, so I’ll go with the second option there. I think it also depends on what timeline you’re in at any given moment. Hopefully we enter a timeline with no game breaking dropped frames in Kakkarikkiko village, AMIRITE?!?
@WiltonRoots - I knew you’d remember. We were standing in an eight hour line at that Pokémon pop up store in May waiting to buy plushies, and I looked right at you and said, “Mark my words, Direct within three months.” Here we are in September and here it is. 100% correct. Thanks for remembering.
@NintendoByNature - Word on the streets of Hyrule Twitter is that PooPiePants has predicted MANY shadow drops. Probably BOTW2. I did see what you said to Wilton about me. I mean, you’re not wrong, but I totally disagree. Your comment will age like milk. Puddled on the sidewalk. In the sun. In Heatstroke Gulch. In July. On a suuuper hot day. Never mess with my gospel. Put some respect on my name.
@NintendoByNature - I predicted this back in May when NOBODY was talking about an unprecedented Septembré Direct. I’m sure you remember, but I’ll dig around and see if I can humbly quote myself just to prove my superiority. Basically, I nailed it, but that’s just what I do. NBD.
@NintendoByNature - Skeletor predicted this. She must work for Ningpatendo or know someone who does. She’s gospel in my book now. Should I buy this or BOTW???
I was nervous the games would come in a bare bones wrapper, and I’m thrilled to read it’s top notch. What a year for the Turtles! My inner child is shrieking with delight.
@Gs69 - Solo and local multi play super smooth, but online has a bit of lag. Not a big deal though, just hit the buttons sooner. It’s not game breaking by any means. This one should be super smooth with rollback.
It’s 100% scientifically accurate! This looks incredible, glad it’ll finally be available, seems like NL first reported on this one years ago now. Looks accessible for a shmup, can’t wait.
@BlackMayge - Happy Saturday, cheers. You really nailed it. The beautiful thing about the modern spin on the genre is how well it mixes with elements of other genres so that all the top tier beat em ups available on Switch feel unique. This one offers a pure arcade experience, for better and worse, focused on speed, animations galore, and things happening on screen. I guess mileage will vary, but it does what it set out to do as well as any other great bmup available right now. Have fun!
Who cares which beat em up is best, they’re all fun. River City Girls is probably better and more nuanced than both SR and SoR4, who cares, play them all. Physics or digital. That also doesn’t matter.
@NintendoByNature - Ah, I see, it’s a cannibalism thing where one thing’s attention eats another thing’s attention. Whelp, you’ve changed my mind, hype responsibly!
@NintendoByNature - I mean, you’re not wrong, but I don’t have ANY data to support this; so I disagree with the “responsibly” part, and I think we should hype “with caution”.
@Brumblescope - You’ll be given the option to keep or reset your previous stats when you start a new story mode run. I wasn’t sure myself until I just went ahead with it. You can build all the playable characters up to level 10 this way. Have fun.
Worth every excruciating minute of the long, long wait. Cannot wait to step on the Foot and then they’re gonna lose traction. Game of the century. Very nice review.
Wow, I absolutely love the 1960’s Decca children’s album aesthetic. It’s beautiful. I’m not a huge fan of this series, yet I still want to buy simply for its beauty.
@twztid13 - Yeah, I guess we’ve been conditioned to the $19.99 price tag for quality indies. Anything less makes me wonder why at this point. This one looks high quality in motion, but I am a bit concerned about the combat.
Yeah, this looks excellent. The characters fight like Hagar, Axel and Blaze. So much brawling to look forward to this year, if only they’d just release.
@tseliot - I’m actually not sure, wormhole maybe? One moment I was sitting in the room where women come and go, talking of Michelangelo, and then I was here. Whatever happened, it was against my will.
Wonderful read. Of all the weird things someone can do in this game, heaving a billion bells into the trash is certainly one of them. What anarchy! Good stuff.
We’re LIVE from the sold out Coliseum Ruins under a blood red moon in downtown Hyrule and folks, we got a slobber knocker of a main event here tonight. Stone Cold is finally gonna get his chance to step into the squared circle against the SADISTIC Purple Lyyynel and... (glass shatters) Bah gawd he’s HERE! Stone Cold! Stone Cold! The Texas Rattlesnake is here. I guess the shop is open and business is about to pick up folks. He ain’t waitin for the main event. Don’t touch your diiials.
@AndyC_MK111 - Haha, awesome! I was reminded of it as well when I watched the trailer, even though they appear to be very different games. Maybe just general aesthetic & the irreverent nature. Sludge Life would have been a good 90s band name. Cheers.
Looks fun. I would have no issue stealing from a child. I steal from mine all the time. I’m eating some of their Easter candy right now.
@AndyC_MK111 - Total guess, Sludge Life? Slightly similar visuals, tho that one is first person. There’s a cat that has two anuses. It’s hard to forget. Haven’t played it yet, but it’s on my WL.
Been eyeballing it for a while in the coming soon section, but I’m at least slightly concerned when a game doesn’t include a video in the screen shots, like this one. A real shame as the art is beautiful and the game sounds fun if properly constructed.
Weird, I like food AND video games, seems I’m the target audience for this one. Color me intrigued. I’m gonna freak out if I read they’re making a game about puppies and scotch next.
@NintendoByNature - I’ll have my revenge on this Gjhofffrey if it’s the last thing I DO... unless he gives us Turtles now, then he can cancel whatever he wants. If not though, I will do sit ups to this man’s picture and dream of the day I get my mitts on him.
@Zuljaras - Yes, definitely excited for the collection, I didn’t think I’d ever play the old arcade games on a modern console. I probably have an even higher level of anticipation for Shredder’s Revenge. I saw that Turtle you made in the artist’s thread, it’s incredible.
