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
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.

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?

man i wish chibirobo made a comeback. Excited about this though!
Re: ICYMI, Yes, A Blood-Soaked 'Terrifier' Game Is Coming To Switch
Note to trailer makers, youtube is a visual medium, you don't need to add into the video that it has "retro art and animation"
Re: Pokémon Center Singapore Sticks Its Middle Finger Up To TCG Scalpers
@Joeynator3000 Yeah but I like the idea of making it more difficult
Re: Nintendo Awarded $7 Million In Win Against Counterfeit amiibo Sellers

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: Lemmings-Like Space Adventure 'Moons of Darsalon' Leaps Onto Switch February 2025
Great art style.
Re: Pokémon Announces Collaboration With Wallace & Gromit Studio
Great collab. Excited for this

Re: Michel Ancel Says Beyond Good & Evil 2 Development Issues Due To "Problems Between Managers"
Man looked really promising. Hope it gets going.
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
Man those visuals are very unappealing. Like the worst form of flash game art.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Confirmed For Switch
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: Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown Dev Team Reportedly Disbanded By Ubisoft
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: Aspyr Is Remastering Yet Another Star Wars Game For Switch
@EVIL-C 100% agreed. Really most any of them
Re: Forget 'Switch 2', Nintendo Has Just Revealed An Official Alarm Clock
i don't need it.... I don't need it....
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. 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.
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.
Re: Review: The Plucky Squire (Switch) - Enormously Charming, But Not So Plucky On Switch
So far I haven't found it to be that badly performing on the switch. Not amazing but nothing crazy
Re: Review: Loddlenaut (Switch) - A Stress-Free, Subaquatic Escape For PowerWash Lovers
@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: Blasphemous Dev Reveals New Tactical Stealth Adventure For Switch
Man the art style and production quality is really really good looking in this. Hope it does well.
