This game looked like absolute garbage on the S2 and it wasn't exactly fun to play, either. It also doesn't help that I don't know any of the characters besides Sonic, Tails and Knuckles so it's a lot of trying to care, but that I understand is on me. It still was a terrible experience and each time Sonic "WOO!"-d or whatever I ground my teeth xD
@Oxy Just sayin', I'm leaned back on a couch using a ProController2 and it's easy-breezy playing. I expected some kind of difficulty but, um, it's honestly great.
How THIS game of all games made zero allowance for accessibility features and controller modes that actual wheelchair-bound players would find helpful is wild.
@Axecon and yet, having only bought digital games on Steam and Switch and Switch 2, I've no question purchased way, WAY more through downloads than if everything was a physical box and cart or whatever. It wouldn't even be close.
@konkalonk I really do wish you would choose your character, and then that character's costume, not see EVERY option with like 6 per screen. Also, I wish it defaulted to "Sort" (I think it's the X button) where the characters and their costume variants stay together instead of order unlocked and all over the place.
That the VB games are behind not just the standard NSO price tier, but behind the Expansion version, well, that was a good way to minimize exposure to them, I guess??
@AngryLuigi My spouse and I have been using VS mode to do a heat/cup of races a la MK8D where you can choose any track for each new 'leg' (since you can set how many you want ahead of time) and you can do your standard multi-lap race for each one, no intermissions to be seen (if so desired) (since you can also choose those from each track).
The Battle Modes stages are really too big and not filled with nearly enough coins for Coin Battle and you can go so long without hitting another player during Balloon Battle. They need way more stages, too.
Also, during local 2-player Knockout Tour, for the love, if one gets knocked out, let the remaining player have the full screen!
Why is there a pop-up showing you how many Plates you've run over/completed for each zone on the map, but not for P-switches or Medallions? Also, let me tag P-switches on the map so I can come back to them later easily! It's so half-baked!!
Completely Random Kamek Character Unlocking was the dumbest idea.
Saving a custom sequence under VS would be SO APPRECIATED.
@WiltonRoots Counterpoint, the creators can make the environment exactly how, and how engaging, they want and aren't limited to say, how the Sahara actually is.

Re: Opinion: Metroid Prime 4 Reminds Me Of Gears 5, And It's Making Me Nervous
@ShadLink Watch footage from the Mad Max Fury Road game to see how absolutely beautiful and interesting and stylish a desert can be.
Re: Opinion: Metroid Prime 4 Reminds Me Of Gears 5, And It's Making Me Nervous
Lookin' forward to 2085 when the first natively Switch2-developed Metroid game comes out.

They do seem to be throwing a LOT at this game! Psychic powers! Living motor bikes! Featureless environments! xD
Re: Opinion: Metroid Prime 4 Reminds Me Of Gears 5, And It's Making Me Nervous
Just hoping that the incredibly barrenness of that desert scene was like, early days, because woof is it boring to look at.
Re: Turbo Overkill: Ultimate Edition Gets A Surprise Release On Switch
@Sylamp Good to know, it seemed like it was this new version to get any in-game updates, or nothing.
Re: Turbo Overkill: Ultimate Edition Gets A Surprise Release On Switch
Practically, is this just control updates? Sucks that they're wrapping that up with an 'art book' to get you to pay for it.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Switch Comparison Video Makes Nintendo's Upgrades Clearer
As someone else said above, I am really curious how the controls have been reworked for pro/regular controllers for both games.
