i'm surprised the amount of yesses vs no people. I was just about to give up, target kept glitching out in checkout and people said their orders were cancelled so i stopped that. Walmart had just left me sitting in line, then same with bestbuy eventually. I randomly refreshed the walmart page and it let me in. I'm hopeful it doesn't get cancelled like peoples target orders though.
@The_Spanner it’s not a worry about money it’s just like a slap, like it’s partially a manual. I wouldn’t have care too much about it had it been included, would have been a really neat idea for a manual. But the fact that they are doing it like this just is a huge bad pr move in my book and I hope they can see that. Just kinda of an insultingly dumb decision.
The worst if you read the interview is his reason. " “As this game was being developed, what’s been packed into it is a depth of minigame experiences,” Bowser says. “They’re very deep, they’re very repeatable. And so, as we looked at that depth of play experience and opportunity, we felt that $9.99 was a fair price to ask for that.”"
Doug, we've seen the treehouse with the first few mini-games and they're the super super basic. Nothing at the level of Wii Sports, let alone wii sports wasn't half a user manual.
Gave it an 8, would better if they bundled something. I miss things like wii sports, where everyone played the game, and a good tech demo. The one they have doesn't even look that great and you have to buy it.
Also, the games announced mostly just look like switch games, though donkey kong looks pretty good.
This was so disappointing. Like "new zelda game!" "warriors" ugh. These all feel like they're taking the same game, adding new levels and replacing character models. Like it feels like the lowest effort version of a Zelda game.
I mean a large part of the west loves this and other anime style stuff, like I don't see what the problem was. It got great reviews in the west didn't it?
really underwhelming. Didn't hate it, but the best I can say is a few things I was like "oh neat". Dragon Quest, Patapon is pretty cool, Tomadachi was real interesting to see. Not a Metroid fan so that didn't grab me.
Everybodies golf, finally that came to the system. Doesn't look like it's running great though.
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

Re: PSA: Switch Update Adds Handy Feature Allowing System Transfer To "Dedicated Server"
@N00BiSH shouldn't be much different unless you have really slow internet. From the looks of it the only option is to transfer wirelessly
Re: Limited Run's Atlus Switch 2 Collector's Edition Is A 'Game-Key Card' Release
@KidSparta Man giving it 25 years is probably really really overestimating. I would be interesting if they do in the next 10, probably sketchy.

Re: Switch 2 'Welcome Tour' Estimated File Size Revealed By Nintendo
@Yoshi3 Yeah this is how I feel. If the game never existed it would have been far better for Nintendo's image than them charging for it.
Re: Uh Oh, It Looks Like Select Switch 2 Games Won't Support Cloud Saves
@Cathalm Yeah the other things are okay, but if it weren't for cloud saves I'd probably be okay canceling my subscription.

@Truegamer79 I mean I don't like them either lol but the idea of condemning them to special scalper hell for preselling Nintendo switch 2 idk
Re: Here's Why Switch 2 Joy-Con And Pro Controllers Don't Have Analogue Triggers
I mean i would think either they were in the joycons or there is not a ton of point as you're just fragmenting things then

Re: Talking Point: Does Switch 2 Have Nintendo's Best Launch Line-Up Ever?
Wii and GBA I read over the launch lineup over and over and over changing my mind. Great lineups, but I have to give it to the GBA

Re: Switch 2 Game Cart Max Capacity Is 64GB, Says CD Projekt Red
didn't the switch 1 max out at 64gb? So isn't this technically bad news since it didn't go up at all? Maybe Nintendo never actually launched that one
Re: Video: Street Fighter 6 Side-By-Side Comparison (Switch 2 & PlayStation 5)
Looks like textures are a little more compressed but that's it.

Re: Hang On, Are People More Excited For Tomodachi Life Than Switch 2?
i'm extremely interested after seeing some more about it. That trailer they gave at the direct was wild
Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Direct For March 2025?
really underwhelming. Didn't hate it, but the best I can say is a few things I was like "oh neat". Dragon Quest, Patapon is pretty cool, Tomadachi was real interesting to see. Not a Metroid fan so that didn't grab me.

man i wish chibirobo made a comeback. Excited about this though!

@Joeynator3000 Yeah but I like the idea of making it more difficult

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

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

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

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.
