It captured the spirit of No Mercy, but took the engine and made the gameplay too fast in some ways, when it was always meant to be more technical/methodical and not as arcadey. It also had an extremely crippling mechanic taken from the Crapdown series in which ANYTIME two wrestlers are locked in an animation are hit by a third, they immediately drop to the ground as if gravity intensified by 100 degrees: pins, submissions, grapples, you name it. It made triple threat cage matches impossible, and doing any extended animation where you have more than one opponent extremely risky if not flat out foolish/impossible.

@FourBs I hadn't heard, but man that would have been heavenly. A No Mercy revival sits atop my list of gaming comeback dreams with a new (and good) Virtual On, Shining Force, Advance Wars and Dokapon Kingdom.
The Fire Pro Wrestling version of games have always been superior to that piss pressed to a disc known as Smackdown. How THQ and now 2K have been dumb enough to let it die and stay dead is just beyond my brain's comprehension.
@rushiosan Because I already have a DS copy that works perfectly fine, and like I said, people on this site familiar with both, and professional and user reviews on Metacritic indicate that the Switch version is just the mobile phone version with controls inferior to the DS version.
Why pay $25 for a worse-controlling version of a game already own, to the point that the controls significantly change gameplay, just for prettier graphics? Especially if the superior form of control requires me to play in handheld mode, further rendering any advantages the Switch version has more moot?
Came in here to ask if the Switch version is superior enough to the DS version to justify acquiring, but going by the comments of people well familiar with both, it's not.
Thank you all for chiming in and saving me from wasting my hard-earned money.
@FargusPelagius I remember those days as a Wii U owner. We got some outstanding deals that you'd never see now because Nintendo was in desperation mode. I got Wind Waker HD for free just for buying Mario Kart 8.
I had this WAY back in the day for the NES. Definitely not at the top of anyone's best lists, as there are essentially just two types of stages, and they are relatively short and simple. It's also a "hurry up and die so I can play" kind of two-player mode. I could see myself getting it for nostalgic reasons in a sale though.
"In a world where Switch owners already have access to both a serviceable version of Monopoly and Pokémon Sword and Shield, do we really need a game that combines the two? For most people, the answer is "probably not"."
YES WE DO, and the name of that game is DOKAPON KINGDOM
@Dodger How do the Switch controls compare to the Wii version? I thought the pointer controls on Wii were so good that they could have considered having paint mode in real time, and the combat with the Wiimote added a sense of timing and rhythm not present in the PS2 (and Okamiden on the DS).
I've been waiting on the Switch version to drop down to at least half price like it is now, but now I want to know how combat and painting feels before closing the deal.
@Chandelure-BW Thank you for mentioning that there are other 2FA options. Would be even better if I could link my phone for 2FA through SMS, but oh well.
@SwitchForce I've worked in IT for several years, and I can confirm that this is the best advice you can give to someone. Everyone wants the magic password/software/anti-virus/security suite that lets them set and forget so they never have to be careful again, but we have to constantly remind people that real life doesn't work that way: the biggest security flaw IS THE USER. If you get an unsolicited email to login to your account or reset your PW, then don't use it. Type the URL or use your bookmark and go to the site yourself.
@nessisonett Game Freak didn't develop this app and had nothing to do with it, but I still hope this somehow becomes a lesson for The Pokemon Company and it stops treating Pokemon like Activision does its IPs. Give the devs and the games a chance to breath and get off this crazy rollercoaster to hell before the franchise gets driven into the ground.
Did you guys forget that this was technically possible prior to Gen 7? The only difference is that sore losers would just turn off their DS/3DS before the last turn was over, but the result was the same.
A big reason why I stopped matching up with randoms online. When I do battle against someone, it's usually someone that I met on Discord or GameFAQs, or someone I know in real life.
Every single popular console from every single gaming generation since the beginning has been "the shovelware console."
That being said, it is harder to spot crappy licensed games like this on consoles because they generally moved to smartphones, and they are welcome from me to stay there.
@khululy I actually agree with you, and I reread my comment from earlier and realize that what I meant sounds totally different from what I typed.
You're right, that part did feel forced, and it was clearly a means to shoo out some throwaway characters before the end of the season. What I meant was that having such a scene appear in a series like Netflix's Castlevania, where the very first episode features an extended dialogue about getting very "friendly" with goats, and dead fetuses hanging out of demons' mouths, is far from being out of place.
It would be like complaining about fornication in a show like The Tudors or Game of Thrones. You know what you signed up for from the get-go, so don't start drawing lines now (not saying you, @khululy, but in general).
@moltakfire Thank you! The series has been rated R this entire time, so what does any expect? Curse words, extreme violence and gore, blood and guts by the gallons, and blasphemous content against Judeo-Christian faith is perfectly acceptable, but now the content in Season 3 is where people draw the line? Pfffftttt
And I say this as a lifelong follower of Christ, and someone who normally does NOT want content like that in my fiction, usually because it feels contrived and made only to titillate horny fans' fantasies. Felt right at home in Castlevania.
@gojiguy I'm in the same boat as you. Definitely waiting on reviews, but how said is it that I have more confidence in an unknown developer than I do Sega's own internal teams these days?
@carlos82 Whoa, thanks for that bit of news about the update that adds the original soundtrack. I mean, I want spruced up versions of the original soundtrack, but like the other guy said, the music is what makes this game for me, and if I don't like the new compositions, going back to the originals helps ensure this game gets a purchase for me.
M$ making some of the most idiotic decisions possible with the X1 had a lot more to do with the PS4's success than power. The power difference between the two consoles is pretty much negligible; there is nothing on PS4 that can't be ported right over to the X1 with too much effort and vice versa.
MS gave the generation away when it decided to:
1) ship a console with mandatory motion controls and a spycam that added an extra $100 to the bill at launch
2) Go all in with anti-consumer DRM, a no used games policy, and a mandatory online connection at all times
3) a completely callous attitude it took toward concerned customers ("We have a device for people who don't have internet connections; it's called the Xbox 360!")
4) Go years with no first party exclusives
Gamers on the Internet who get tickled over power are in the minority. Games and console features are what decide successful consoles, not power. Never has been.
As the world's slowest gamer, I just started BotW, and it is the first time in years that I just absolutely have to force myself to put a game down after realizing ___ hours have passed, and I fiend for it when I'm not at home!
I was just in that same area fighting that same guardian the other day, and I had no idea how that guardian flip trick; now I have to try it!
@Shiryu Do you think the game will eventually drop in price on PlayAsia, or will it more likely go up?
No one has a bigger backlog than I do, so I've started only buying games on sale or marked down. But if the price starts going up due to scarcity, then I'll go ahead and bite soon.
It's OBVIOUSLY not a three or a W, it's a trident! Poseidon from Disney's The Little Mermaid is confirmed! Sakurai knows we're tired of sword fighters, so he's giving us our first trident fighter!
Thank you so much for mentioning Deku Deals here. It is the site of my hopes and dreams! I've signed up for it, and it is how I will be browsing for Nintendo deals going forward. Seriously, everything I wish Nintendo would do with the eShop, and so much more.
How the heck is a third party game that launched a year and a half a ago on Switch, and more than two years ago on other consoles only getting discounted to $40? The price of Wolf II, Doom and Skyrim on Switch continue to baffle me.
@Spudtendo How does leaving out options for more mon, teambuilding and diversity equal "change and new experiences"?
Way to perpetuate the strawman argument that those wanting more content don't want new content as well, as if including all of the old mon doesn't mean that it will make for a more complete game instead of one like a patchwork quilt riddled with holes all over it.
@GrailUK I'm sorry if I gave you the impression that I thought you were being dumb! I was just saying that it just now occurred to me that those random objects in the box are are actually Kraid's lower half!
@GrailUK I just realized after so many years that those random claws next to what I thought for 25 years was the moon is actually Kraid's feet and belly!
Which is another point in the favor of the Japanese box art. Why have less than 50 percent of Kraid, and the least important parts of him at that? Might as well have taken him out completely.
@TheDragonDAFan That's how they plan to market Ultra Sword and Ultra Shield, but the kicker is that the code for the cut Pokemon still won't be in plain Sw/Sh, so you won't be able to trade t hem to or use them in battle against people who still have those games.
@Heavyarms55 Hi, welcome to the Internet, where every major multi-million dollar franchise has loud fanatics in the fanbase that are more overt and in-your-face than the quiet majority. Make sure you're sitting down before you read this next statement........ Pokemon is far from the only entertainment property that this applies to. In fact, if your entertainment property doesn't have a significant segment of loud, whiny complainers that get most of the attention on the Internet, then it must not be all that relevant in pop culture.
"Surprise! After 20 years, we've finally accepted that we have no idea how to make a good Sonic game. Therefore, instead of out the franchise to no-name studios that have no history of solid workmanship like you're used to, we've asked our friends over at EAD to make the next Sonic game while we shadow them and take notes!"
@DarthFoxMcCloud Are you talking about USD? I just checked Amazon for Vesperia, where it’s currently on sale for $30, down from $40. It’s normally $50 in the eShop, but the sale in USD is for $35. Are you talking Canadian cash, or am I missing something here?
Asking because I want to make sure I’m not missing out on a collector’s edition or anything for almost the same price. 😜
Same here! The light was a little too strong, to where it caused a flashlight spot on the screen unless you held it at a weird angle, but give me a better option for playing handheld Pokemon in the dark!

It captured the spirit of No Mercy, but took the engine and made the gameplay too fast in some ways, when it was always meant to be more technical/methodical and not as arcadey. It also had an extremely crippling mechanic taken from the Crapdown series in which ANYTIME two wrestlers are locked in an animation are hit by a third, they immediately drop to the ground as if gravity intensified by 100 degrees: pins, submissions, grapples, you name it. It made triple threat cage matches impossible, and doing any extended animation where you have more than one opponent extremely risky if not flat out foolish/impossible.
