I know this is a nintendo-focused website, but I'm hoping the PS5 release doesn't have performance issues. I suppose controls will be the same however.
extremely disappointing considering their previous showcase featured Seven Pirates H (great) and Wife Quest (good). This new batch looks like absolute garbage.
@Ellie-Moo I'm sure you're done with the game by now, but if anyone else is wondering, no, not at all. it just saves you some grind to get the later upgrades. I don't think it makes the game any easier.
Man Bloodstained was so good. I never really cared for all the extra goals they reached, so I'm hoping the sequel is in active development alongside all that extra content.
This is an amazing compilation. Here's hoping for Atlus USA, but they don't seem to care about smaller games anymore. Hopefully some other niche publisher picks it up for a western release.
hmm I already have the mario kart and celebration monopoly. honestly looking at this board, it's just simplified rules that you can apply for the regular boards too?
I think this game was made in Quebec (Canada), I too would have liked a different physical publisher because 1PG basically takes 1.5 - 2 years. But congrats to the team regardless! Indie games getting physical releases is always a joy to witness.
Didn't read the review but did it mention anything about base building? One of the Wii games had you build, furnish and rent out entire apartment buildings!
I remember thinking DAY ONE when it was announced. Then I heard about a season pass... and all this grinding... no thanks! I'll wait for the "complete" release in a few years.
Great roundup! I have a few of the "toys", here's my opinion on them:
Piranha Plant: It's a nice conversation piece. Not so fun as a game.
Air Hockey: Great! Pretty small, which is both a pro and con. We ended up removing the middle strips and the "goals" because they just got in the way.
Monopoly celebration: Overall great, bit more fun than the Mario Kart one, but it's monopoly in the end!
Jakks Peach castle: It's nice but pricey. The flag is dumb and barely stands.
Uno: I have both the standard and mario kart editions. Beautiful artwork. We mostly use them for memory game!
Game of Life: A real winner!!! Beautiful game board.
Labyrinth: This one's a real gem. I'd never played Labyrinth before so this was my introduction. Thankful for the "kids mode"!
Checkers & Tic Tac toe: Exactly as it says! It's kind of a really big box for what it is.
Walkie Talkies: Garbage! Avoid!!! Horrible sound quality and range.
Hot Wheels Mario Kart: Bought at Costco and I wish I'd return it when I still could. It's huge, which is a con for me, but worse is that the karts barely stay on the track, they barely make it past the first bend. We tend to start the carts at the motorized boost and then we can get a few laps out of them. LAME!
Shaky Tower (and the other Epoch balance games): Kind of lame overall. Not much fun to be had.
Top Trumps: Amazing! Lots of fun! But the setup phase can be a bit lengthy as you have to ensure unique rows, etc.
Jenga: Playing it is a real thrill but again, the setup is a total drag.
@Nameless_Shame oh wow I didn't even know they rebranded. I have a few of them in my game room, was wondering why I wasn't getting too many hits on facebook marketplace.
This 7/10 reads like a 5/10 at best! Surprising score. I'm a sucker for shmups so I'm grabbing this physically but I hope all, if any, patches will be on disc because this sure sounds rushed (despite delays)
I remember playing the first one a long-ass time ago, on PS3. Bayo 2 I barely touched. Do both of them come with an easy mode just to go through the storyline? Don't say youtube.
Thank god motion controls are optional. I know most people associate NMH with that sword charge motion, but I'm here for the batshit insane plot. Hell I'd take an auto-combat mode like Nier 1.5!

Re: After Endless Delays and Empty Words, Dispatch Games Is Seemingly Dead
I am still waiting on two DLC codes from them. Nothing major compared to those who bought collector editions of course.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Special Edition Will Be Made Available Again At A Later Date (US)
Imagine being a xenoblade fan since operation rainfall, and being dickslapped all day by clueless Nintendo. Somethings never change.

@NinChocolate yeah, right there with Cave and Treasure. All dead and buried
Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online SNES And NES Service With Three More Titles
I played a ***** ton of rushing beat / Rival Turf as a kid. It's quite decent as far as Final Fight clones go.
but yeah, Scrunt when?
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Collector's Edition Goodies To Ship At A "Later Date" (Europe)
sort of reminds me of DQ11 which had a collector's edition which didn't include the game

Re: Random: The Weird And Wonderful Super Mario Bros. Anime Is Now Available In 4K
@sikthvash just the filesizes on the internet archive download folder
@RupeeClock really 640p? I was happily downloading the "2160p" file thinking I could replace my old ass youtube rip.
Re: Random: The Weird And Wonderful Super Mario Bros. Anime Is Now Available In 4K
There's 1080p H264 for 357MB and 2160P HEVC for 355MB
Wow. I'm completely outdated when it comes to modern video compression algorithms.
I suppose HEVC is still somewhat bleeding edge and few players support it outside of VLC?

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Chocobo GP
>the eventual possible elimination of the season pass system
Wait, for real? I only buy games physically and it's one of the things keeping me from importing the PAL release.

Re: Reggie Calls Wii U A "Failure Forward" Because It Led To Switch
I would play the Wii U so much more if it had bettet wireless range, and if all games supported remote mode.
Is there homebrew hack for this? I'm sure not, it must be a hardware limitation.
