Man that was so so so so underwhelming. Since we haven't had a Nintendo direct in forever and the switch 2 coming up, I figured they would have a pretty big event but it was 90% just dumb things announced for mobile games. IDK why but I absolutely hated the Champions commercial. The new Legends was imo the only announcement with literally any substance. But also it didn't look AT ALL ready for primetime, but neither did the last one at release or probably still now.
Yeah i agree, something about the tutorial was just weird. The text size needs to be fixed. It's embarrassing you can't resize it. Even on steam there are complaints.
I feel like anyone with half a braincell could have guessed there was a good chance that this hugely popular game would sell well on a hugely popular system. Why they assumed for years it would be a bad idea is kinda nuts.
That summary doesn't really look like a 6/10. I would say part of it is that you can change the difficulty, though i agree yakuza can at times do spikes in difficulty. The other one i guess is just preference, but yeah I think every yakuza game has tons of sidetracking, or weird super slow parts. I get not liking that though i suppose.
i love metroidvanias but something about prince of Persia bores me. Like make something new guys, everything they make is the 8 billionth installment in a francise
I feel like the most criticism I see is people just want more boards. Like why don't they like money and just release DLC boards for the games after they release them. They Keep making new ones, but at the same time they just ditch the current ones the second they come out. Not like the people buying the DLC would skip the next game either.
Normal publisher I might give 1 off from the framerate issues, but being that this definitely had Nintendo's hand in it, I think it deserves more criticism. Same with the last pokemon games.
Ugh Links Awakening really took me out of it with those and I never finished. Why didn't they do something different? This is a Zelda game, it's embarrassing.
@Poodlestargenerica I feel like power wash simulator is a fair comparison to anything close to this. I saw other reviewers doing the same and it does make sense.
This looks nice but something about the visuals I'm not a huge fan of. I feel like that cell shaded design nowadays gives it sort of a cheap look. I kind of wish they went with the Mario wonder designs. Maybe it will grow on me.
at best this looks like a rom hack if not like just an outright copy. Like jeesh atleast change some things up. Visually you could have fooled me this was just another advance wars
@ocarin I don't know why people think it's so cool to say all English dubs suck. Plenty of good ones, and I'm sure they could just make it optional as well.
I've got a few funkos and I love what they do, but the style just doesn't work with everything. This guy looks like he's from some weird teen fan drawing or something.
It's weird to me I hear people saying this game will have to wait for the switch 2 but visually it looks exactly the same as the first to me (not a bad thing) so I have no idea why it would need to wait.

Re: Talking Point: Why An LCD Screen Isn't The End Of The World For Switch 2
I'll take non oled, I really don't notice much after 10 minutes, and the battery life is better.
Re: An NES LucasArts Adventure Classic May Be Getting A Spiritual Successor
Looks decent. The trailer kinda sucks, that music is breaking my eardrums.
Re: Xbox Is "Really Looking Forward" To Supporting Switch 2
As much as I don't want them to stop making xbox's (more competition is always better) I do love the idea of them releasing more things on the switch.
Re: Team17 Group Is Rebranding, But The Iconic Name Isn't Disappearing
@larryisaman as much as I dislike them, that was a good decision for them if they didn't want to be only known for one thing forever.
Re: Rare Konami GBA Gem 'Ninja Five-O' Gets February Release Date
Good lord not even a remaster, it's just straight like emulating the rom file it looks like. I honestly thought it was going to be like $4.99 max.
Re: Night Slashers: Remake Is Getting A Physical Switch Release In 2025
If only it wasn't one of the worst art style decisions I've ever seen.
Re: Opinion: It's Not My GOTY, But This Nintendo Game Was A Standout 2024 Memory
I really really enjoyed it but also one of those times that it has so much missed potential as well. Hopefully they do more

Re: Upcoming Pirate Metroidvania Mixes Hades-Style Visuals & Soulslike Combat On Switch Next Year
Something about this just reads "worse version of hades" The graphics, animations, voices all have that that look of being unpolished
Re: The Results Of Our 2024 Switch Summer Survey Are In
You people are using the bathroom wrong, it's obviously just to play games.
Re: Review: Metal Slug Tactics (Switch) - A Good Shot At Trying Something New
Yeah i agree, something about the tutorial was just weird. The text size needs to be fixed. It's embarrassing you can't resize it. Even on steam there are complaints.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Latest Financials Make One Thing Abundantly Clear
@Anti-Matter Honestly would be awesome. I'm down for it
Re: Review: Hatch Tales: A Heroic Hookshot Adventure (Switch) - It's Here, Finally, And It's Very Good, Surprisingly

Where does this one lie chronologically?
Re: Yakuza Kiwami Is Supposedly "Selling Like Crazy" On Switch
I feel like anyone with half a braincell could have guessed there was a good chance that this hugely popular game would sell well on a hugely popular system. Why they assumed for years it would be a bad idea is kinda nuts.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Kid Icarus (NES)
I feel like people always want the Japanese version to be better, but that weird cartoon version looks awful in my opinion.
Re: Review: Yakuza Kiwami (Switch) - A Decent Port Of An Ambitious, Frustrating Game
That summary doesn't really look like a 6/10. I would say part of it is that you can change the difficulty, though i agree yakuza can at times do spikes in difficulty. The other one i guess is just preference, but yeah I think every yakuza game has tons of sidetracking, or weird super slow parts. I get not liking that though i suppose.

Re: First Impressions: Nintendo's Taken Feedback To Heart With 'Super Mario Party Jamboree'
I feel like the most criticism I see is people just want more boards. Like why don't they like money and just release DLC boards for the games after they release them.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom?
Normal publisher I might give 1 off from the framerate issues, but being that this definitely had Nintendo's hand in it, I think it deserves more criticism. Same with the last pokemon games.
Re: Advance Wars-Style Game 'Warside' Blasts Onto Switch Early Next Year
I feel like saying "style" is a bit too generous. Most of it looks like a straight clone lol
Re: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom's Frame Rate Is "Even Worse" Than Link's Awakening
Ugh Links Awakening really took me out of it with those and I never finished. Why didn't they do something different? This is a Zelda game, it's embarrassing.

@Poodlestargenerica I feel like power wash simulator is a fair comparison to anything close to this. I saw other reviewers doing the same and it does make sense.
Re: Donkey Kong Country-Inspired Platformer 'Nikoderiko' Hits Switch Next Month
looks better than I expected. Something about the weird realistic anime looking faces on the lion weirds me out though.
Re: Review: Loddlenaut (Switch) - A Stress-Free, Subaquatic Escape For PowerWash Lovers
I feel like the conclusion and the score are a bit off. The conclusion sounds like a 6/10 or something
Re: Video: Mario & Luigi: Brothership New Trailer Highlights Battle Mechanics
This looks nice but something about the visuals I'm not a huge fan of. I feel like that cell shaded design nowadays gives it sort of a cheap look. I kind of wish they went with the Mario wonder designs. Maybe it will grow on me.
Re: Yooka-Replaylee Art Team Highlight Laylee's New Fluffiness In Remaster
@Bunkerneath yeah I really enjoyed it. I'm extremely confused by this remaster though. Just give me a new game.
Re: Night Slashers: Remake Brings Horror Arcade Beat 'Em Up To Switch This Month
The animation on this is embarrassing. The original looks miles better over this like weird 2000s flash looking game.
Re: Upcoming Tactics Game 'Warside' Sure Looks Familiar
at best this looks like a rom hack if not like just an outright copy. Like jeesh atleast change some things up. Visually you could have fooled me this was just another advance wars
Re: Review: Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club (Switch) - A Stylish Mystery With One Foot In The Past
@ocarin I don't know why people think it's so cool to say all English dubs suck. Plenty of good ones, and I'm sure they could just make it optional as well.

Re: Random: Another Banjo-Kazooie Funko Pop Is On The Horizon, But It's Still Pretty Horrifying
I've got a few funkos and I love what they do, but the style just doesn't work with everything. This guy looks like he's from some weird teen fan drawing or something.
