@NambanRonin I can't speak about this one as I've never played it (obviously), but I think the defining trait of great Nintendo games is that they're super fun whether you're a toddler scratching the surface, or a grown man wanting to engage in the more in-depth mechanics 😃
Games like those, very approachable and accessible, but at the same time as deep as you want them to, are probably the best and the most difficult to pull off, I think!

@Scollurio 😂😂😂

Lol, everyone expected Castlevania and we got this 😂 it couldn't have gone worse, could it?

So they're not bugs, they're features? Bethesda would be proud lol 😂

@LUIGITORNADO while I don't like nor hate these games (I simply have no interest in playing them as I'm not into shmups or hentai), I was wondering the same thing.
It's pretty jarring to see NL advertise these games and then, when it's reviewing time, they get all sanctimonious and score them 3's across the board cause they are "for pervs". They literally degraded fans of these games in several reviews, mind you.

@NEStalgia very well played 😂😂😂😂

@Heavyarms55 agreed, and while I still am none the wiser about what actually happened with this Cuellar guy, I still can read an article about Captain America playing Fortnite!

Sooooo is it playable on Switch right now or are they adding new content without fixing the old issues?
I'm genuinely curious because I'd like to play this game but I'd rather have it on Switch than PC, if the former version isn't broken anymore.

Fantastic art style? To be honest it reminds me of those awful Wii shovelware, what with the plasticky, bland character design, and the borderline amateurish fonts.

@Heavyarms55 I partially agree with you, but let's not pretend they didn't bring this on theirselves.
If the games had had less controversies and lies, and more effort and polish, then certainly people wouldn't be waiting for GF's corpse to float down the river like a bunch of vultures every single time.

@TG16_IS_BAE exactly, glad there's someone who gets it!
Have a good day/night mate!

P.S.: your handle makes me chuckle every single time 😂

@TG16_IS_BAE you know what?
I don't have the slightest idea because I don't know much about RAMs, GPUs and such, and that's exactly why I don't go telling people what the Switch should be or what the devs should do.
I recognize my ignorance, that's why I trust devs to know their stuff infinitely better than any of us players. Because, you know, it's their job 😉

@nicols agreed 😆

@TG16_IS_BAE ahahahahah I can already see poor MS interns forced to read these comments lol
No but seriously, what you're saying is something I can definitely get on board, and many commenters certainly mean that without being too pretentious.
I just wanted to call out the more pretentious ones ahahahah

I love these comment sections where everyone and their dogs have the technical expertise to be able to tell if a game can or cannot run well on Switch! I didn't know there were this many armchair developers in our community 😂

@BulbasaurusRex totally agree! I love football but I absolutely understand why it might not be someone else's liking, just as I can see why many people love basketball even though I don't find it interesting personally.
Btw hockey is a super cool sport!
I know little about it, but I would've liked trying joining a team when I was younger, as it's cool to warch and super fun to play.
Unfortunately my country's not that big on it lol

@FrowningCoach Ahahahah could you be any more pretentious and edgy? 😂 I hope you're not older than 12 lol
Look, there's a pretty legible "different strokes for different folks" at the end of my comment, which makes it clear it's my personal opinion and everyone rightly likes different sports for different reasons; if you didn't even reach that point and replied to me as if I heralded myself as the keeper of the absolute truth, well, the joke's on you for acting all grandiose while intentionally missing information. That's a pretty dumb move, if you ask me, since you rusk being ridiculed for replying to stuff you don't have the full context of.
So maybe read what you're gonna reply to beforehand, and get off your high-and-mighty perch.
Peace ✌🏻

@Shinobi1Kenoby because it's deeper than most other sports from a tactical standpoint, by virtue of having low scores as opposed to basketball or American football.
I for one find these two incredible boring and uninteresting: just because they score more points more often doesn't make it more entertaining to me; on the contrary, it kinda dulls it. Goals are awesome moments of celebration precisely because of their relative scarcity.
Different strokes for different folks.

Heh, this game has always looked awful to me in every way.
It's clear that it's a cash-in based on Splatoon's success, and while squids + ink makes sense both from a mechanical gameplay standpoint, and from an "aesthetic" one.
This looks like these guys wanted a Splatoon clone and threw darts to decide what to put in the game.
I mean, ninjas and bubblegum? Why?

Tencent, mobile, MOBA-style gameplay, F2P...wow, it's almost as if they actually went out of their way to incorporate everything I loathe about games nowadays in one package 😂
Not gonna touch this with a barge pole, not a chance!

@Ricube hey, another fellow compatriot! 😄

Well, honestly I don't think it's as "ambiguous" in other languages, I don't know where these guys are from but certainly they'll try to avoid this kind of wordplay? 😅
I can speak English and Spanish (other than Italian, of course), and while I'm sure the former doesn't have this problem, I think Spanish too does not, but I may be wrong.
My English is definitely way better than my Spanish 😅

The only question is...what is that thing over Mewtwo's head? Lol

I certainly didn't expect this game but I'll make sure to try it out, I've heard great things about it!

@EmmatheBest you ninja'd me 😄😂

Heh, sounds like a 6 at best...but it's Pokémon, so let's give them +2 for meeting the absolute minimum requirements.

Very shady, after being proved a cheat many times before in the past.

Tell me I can name my Volta "Mars" and I'm in 😉

@GrandScribe nope, Slowpoke is life 😍

I won't lie, "I played the absolute nonsense out of the original" made me chuckle quite a lot lol

@Kienda personally I've been playing it more now than ever, and can also confirm that I'm having no problems finding people to play with.
Oh and I'm in Europe, by the way!

They're pretty hideous to be honest 😅

I've heard great things about this game, I'll definitely get it someday when I'm itching for some stealth!

@ACNHislit they've used "mamma mia" as a subheader for Mario-related articles many many times before, but a lot of the times they would write "mama mia" and I would always correct them.

Glad you finally got the memo about the spelling of "mamma mia" 🥳

@Damo it is crazy indeed! I remember being a little kid when my big brother got me hooked to Helicopter, Banquet, Pioneers, Luno, etc.!
Still their best record, probably, even though I really like A Weekend In The City.
Intimacy is good and I like that they experimented with their sound, but Four was kinda "meh" to me.
To be honest I stopped following them after that, as I also heard that they're basically Kele and the guitarist whose name I cannot remember right now, and that's a shame. I've always loved their drum work in particular, so I was sad to hear the drummer left.

Looking forward for a sale, then I'll get all 3 of them.
I've already played them all on PS3 and I'm not one to double dip, but these 3 games really deserve it!

Edit: also I hope that they add gyro aiming by the time it goes on sale, that's pretty much mandatory for portable shooting.

@AndreaF96 in that case it was correct to say "in the USA", my fellow compatriot 😃

@Damo I appreciate this reply, I really do.
I get very heated in the moment and I apologize for that, as I can see how that paints me as a jerk.
All that I meant, though, is that, at least from my perspective, the bulk of moderation that I see is basically damage control when someone "attacks" the site, more than actually trying to restrain derailing comment sections. But then again, it might just be me.

@GannonBanned and what does your comment have to do with anything at all? Who's talking about shooters?

I was talking about other past comment sections (like the Catherine: Full Body one, for example), where an article about a videogame becomes a cesspool of people perched on their barricades flinging faeces at each other for reasons that exude the game itself.
If you're gonna reply, at least try to say something relevant.

@Damo I certainly agree with that, don't get me wrong. I just think moderation might be a happy middle, that's all.

@Damo I wasn't talking about one comment section in particular, as I've seen that happen time and time again. If one was closed, good, but that's only one and certainly was closed well after hitting a whole lot of comments, as I'm learning that just now.

@Damo there's absolutely no need to appeal to a righteous cause that has nothing to do with what's going on in a fansite's comment section just to make yourself look good.

Also, it's really nice to finally understand NL's priorities in moderating the comments:

-not doing anything when an article about a game devolves into a dumpster fire because people drag politics in them (authors included, in writing some unnecessarily divisive articles), because higher numbers and clicks;

-defending a first-class troll who only ever spouts nonsense left and right and has the pretense of being right without being informed at all.
I've tried being polite the first few times, it's not that I attack people randomly; but seeing as nothing changed, they're getting on my nerves (and not only mine, apparently).

Delete my comment, ban me, do whatever you like.

@Kalmaro that's true and I hope it doesn't happen, but Lando-T is coming back, so I wouldn't hold my breath...

Wow, I didn't know this even existed and got excited for a moment...but no SIE2 😔
I've never been a diehard SI fan, but I played Extreme 2 to death on my DSi, and I've been wishing for it to come to Switch for the longest time.
It's still one of the best arcade-style games of all time, if you ask me.
Why don't they make a third one?!

@Cool_Squirtle you know a site's reviews are useless when you have to commend them for being harsh once in a blue moon 😂

@graysoncharles @skulltulips I was not disappointed 😉

"3 out of 5, 3 out of 5 (it's not enough)
6 out of 10, better luck next time"

Hope someone gets it 😉

11/15, not bad!

(No, NL, I don't have anything else to say)

Well, it sure sounds like an ingenious way to reuse already existing resources! Props to Sega 👍🏻

@mesome713 calling @Dang69 a troll: kettle, pot, black, something like that.
You can't just call everyone you disagree with a troll, especially because you're wrong 99% of the time and people bring actual arguments to the table, and when they do that, you keep banging your empty head against the wall until you stop replying altogether. Many times before you've been told this much and you never even bothered replying.

@everyone else: yes, NL reviews are a waste of time and have been for a very long time. No expertise whatsoever, no in-depth look at the mechanics, no effort.

-Nintendo game: 9-10/10, masterpiece;

-Indie game: 8/10, hidden gem;

-Third party port: 7-8/10, it exists.

I've been playing a game for quite some time now, which is guessing the score a game will get based on its pedigree. Needless to say I get it right 95% of the time, I can't remember the last time I got it wrong. And that's not to boast, it's to underline NL's predictability.

@Bliquid yep it is! 😂
The funny thing is that a few days ago a preview of TLOU2 popped up on PS mentioning the enemy faction "WLF" 😂😂😂😂😂

Crassness galore in a few days for us Italians lol
