Friendly reminder that Overwatch changed the lootboxes for a season pass, and it was so awful that people missed lootboxes. A Season pass means that they most likely will put the best skins in the in-game shop for 15-20 bucks.
"the Switch is comfortably beat by the PC, Mac, iPhone, and Android" I think you include PC by mistake, PC has way more games than the switch according that table.
Switch- 39 games VS PS4 - 33 games
This is kinda an unfair comparison, PS4 is still getting games, but critics are only reviewing the PS5 versions now. So it probably has more games that are worthy of the +90.(Thou I said kinda unfair because the ps4 has been out for 11 years)
PS5 - 25 games
This is kinda impressive actually, they have that amount of prestigious games in only 4 years, while the switch has been out for almost 8 years. The PS5 could end up beating the switch by the end of its lifecycle.
I think those are some pretty mid box-arts overall. I guess the north american one is the most decent one, but the european one represent the setting of the game better.
@Serpenterror Nintendo apologists are pretty lame and misinformed, Craftopia cannot be considered as a rip-off of zelda botw because that game has every videogame mechanic and concept in existence to the point that it barely play like Zelda. It's more like a sh@tposting game.
A similar case applies to Never Grave, as a matter of fact, that one looks even more original than Crowsworn which had the blessing from the hollow knight team.
Honestly I don't see the point of owning the IP considering that the remaster seem to have performed even worse than the original. I don't see them trying to fund a sequel by themselves unless it's a very small project.
Honestly, this makes wonder what will be the place the AI in this world, certainly it's endangering jobs, but it's also undoubtedly progress, so and I'm not sure if it's right to stop progress.
It looks like we will finally have the definitive version of this game. I hope they add a mod that make Musical Notes not reset when you leave a level.
It kinda sucks that they aren't releasing the games in the best order, Yakuza 0 should have been released Yakuza 0 first. It looks more like they are getting ready to capitalize on the possible success of the tv show.
@Lightsiyd I mean, you don't really need to grind for those things to beat the bosses. I did grind them in my playthrough and ended up being overleveled in the hard difficulty.
"In any case, bosses and even mini-bosses are interspersed between lengthy areas of exploration, which is most definitely not my cup of tea."
I don't thing you will like any of the party members era ys games(Ys seven, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana, Ys IX: Monstrum Nox), these games are way more lengthy and they introduced materials.Ys Monstrum Nox is basically Lacrimosa of Dana 2: Electric Boogaloo.
You should try the Napishtim engine era games instead, they have a more frantic pacing and you only play as the MC. From that era, Ys Origin is currently available on Switch and Ys The Oath in Felghana is getting a switch port early next year.
@silver-crescent Fall guys being surpassed by Stumble guys isn't really that unfair. I think the ip was missmanaged, they never ported the game to mobiles and they didn't add local multiplayer. Plus, Epic games also laid off a big chunk of the studio.
Honestly, I think the indie gaming landscape has just changed. People is no longer that interested in early indie games, the indie platformers market is oversaturated and the competition is really tough.
I think games such as Limbo and Cave Story would never perform as well as they did if they were released this year. And most of the early indie studios weren't able to reach mainstream success in the current market.
Those games definitely overstayed their welcome, so it's cool that they are letting the franchise rest instead of releasing another crash game. Thou who knows, maybe the license was just too expensive.

@westman98 kinda hard not to do that when he has been in the Smash bros mines for more than a decade.
Re: Mario & Luigi: Brothership Is Seemingly Another 'Unreal Engine' Effort
It's great that this game was made with Unreal Engine, it helps to prove that Unreal Engine games doesn't end up looking and feeling samey.
Re: Xbox Studio Rare Excited About The Return Of Banjo-Tooie Next Week
Now only we PC gamers are waiting to officially have these on PC.
Re: Talking Point: Just How Damaging Is This Big Pokémon Leak?
I kinda want to see that source code leaked, considering how bad the previous game was, I'm expecting yanderedev-like coding skills.
Re: Rumour: Switch 2's Codename Believed To Be In Latest Pokémon Data Leak
It's kinda obvious that the next mainline pokemon game will be on the Switch 2.
Re: Pokémon Developer Game Freak Reportedly Hacked, Massive Amounts Of Data Allegedly Leaked
Honestly it's funny how the leaker refuses to share info about future games while leaking employees personal info.
Re: Feature: "We Tested 60fps In Pre-Production, But The Smoothness Felt Unnatural"
Pc will get 60fps eventually, so not a big problem.
Anyways, are these slice-of-life Shin-chan games any good? I think there was another that release some time ago.
Re: Sonic Rumble Mobile Game Won't Use Gacha As "Such Mechanics Tend To Be Shunned Overseas"

Re: Video: Here's A Look At The Latest LEGO Horizon Adventures Switch Trailer
@DollyrotsFan1 I doubt the switch could run the other Horizon games XD
Re: Ubisoft's Disastrous 2024 May Lead To The Company Going Private
@Samalik I doubt going private would be the solution considering all their problems are due to miss management.
Re: The Math Adds Up, The Nintendo Switch Really Does Have The Best Games
@TotalHenshin You should consider it's based on metacritic scores, PS4 games no longer are reviewed by critics.

Re: Dragon Quest's Creator Criticises 'Mistranslation' Of DQ3 Remake Costume Comments
The message is still the same thou. But it looks like Square Enix is starting to pressure them into cover up what they said.
Re: Japanese Charts: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Trounces The Competition
@johnedwin Traditional Zelda games have never been massive hits in japan.These are some pretty solid numbers.
Re: Mario Movie Actor Says Second Film Is "Very Exciting So Far"
Let's hope the writting isn't trash in the sequel.
Re: The First Confirmed 'Switch 2' Game Has Smashed Its Kickstarter Goal
Come to think of it, what happened to the first confirmed Switch game? I think it was about an autistic kid.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai's Excellent YouTube Series Is Coming To An End This Month
It looks like Sakurai is going back to the Smash Bros mines soon.

Damn, it shows that they truly understand what the nintendo brand is about, they are Super-Mario-3D-All-Starsing those sets.

Re: Get A Closer Look At Yakuza Kiwami On Switch In New 'Play It Together' Trailer
They should have ported Yakuza 0 first, Yakuza kiwami 1 is basically a Yakuza 0 DLC.
Re: Palworld Developer Responds To Nintendo Lawsuit
I just love that no matter if Nintendo ends up being legally right, it's still morally correct to hate them because patenting mechanics is scummy af.
It's also hard to keep track of which very specific mechanics are patented, specially for an indie company.
Re: Penny's Big Breakaway Dev Downsizes Due To "Volatile Market Conditions"
Yeah, they really made a bad call when they chose Private Division as the publisher, the publisher tax made the game too pricey.
I personally won't buy the game until it's 60% of, but because the publisher is trash and didn't add regional price for my country.
Re: First Minecraft Movie Trailer Features Creepers, Piglins And Jack Black's Steve
I miss that time when a movie featuring Jack Black was a reason to be hyped. Now he only appears in mediocre movies -_-

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club?
I haven't played the game but...Was the ending as controversial as the creator said it was going to be? I haven't seen anyone talking about it.
Re: Mario + Rabbids Producer Leaves Ubisoft Milan After "16 Incredible Years"
It's a shame that Sparks of Hope seemingly underperformed, I hope we see another colaboration between Nintendo and Ubisoft in the future.
Re: Gallery: Mario & Luigi: Brothership New Screenshots And Video Released
I don't like the artstyle, it looks low-budget for some reason, I think it's because of the lighting. It looks pretty 3DS-like.
Re: Random: The Plucky Squire Will Be Narrated By Shrek In Brazil (Kind Of)
Oh, cool, I hope it's the same in LATAM. Thou I think Shrek's voice actor is still facing sexual harassment allegations.
Re: Banjo-Kazooie Is The Latest N64 Game To Be Fully Decompiled
@RupeeClock I hope they are able to port the game, Paper Mario was decompiled last year but there is no projects using that decompilation yet.
Re: Banjo-Kazooie Is The Latest N64 Game To Be Fully Decompiled
It looks like we will finally have the definitive version of this game. I hope they add a mod that make Musical Notes not reset when you leave a level.
Re: LEGO Horizon Adventures Release Date Might Have Been Revealed By PlayStation
@rjejr I think it wasn't intentional, the release date hasn't been officially announced.
Re: 'STALKER: Legends Of The Zone Trilogy' Shoots Onto Switch This November
@anoyonmus It's literally just a simple port, even if they somehow charge a switch tax, it'd be like 30 bucks.
Re: 'STALKER: Legends Of The Zone Trilogy' Shoots Onto Switch This November
@anoyonmus I think Yakuza kiwami will be 20 bucks just like the steam port.
Re: Yakuza Kiwami Brings The Dragon Of Dojima To Switch For The First Time
It kinda sucks that they aren't releasing the games in the best order, Yakuza 0 should have been released Yakuza 0 first. It looks more like they are getting ready to capitalize on the possible success of the tv show.
Re: 'Castlevania Dominus Collection' Brings Three DS Classics To Switch Today
@Ashina SOTN is not a DS game .-.
Re: Yakuza Kiwami Brings The Dragon Of Dojima To Switch For The First Time
@Yosher Nowadays it's more tied to Xbox, they have had the marketing rights for the most recent games.

Re: Hands On: Epic Mickey: Rebrushed - A Fresh Coat Of Paint For A Once-Flawed Platformer
I just don't like the redesigns, the original ones looked spookier.
Re: 'Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club' ESRB Rating Summary Reveals Horrific Themes
It also got PEGI 18, so that M rating seem to be the real deal and not just an american exaggeration.
Re: Lollipop Chainsaw's Remake Scores A Sweet Release On Switch This September
@Darthmoogle This is not a remake, the production was downgraded to remaster a while ago.
Re: Preview: In Ys X: Nordics, Adol And Boats Prove To Be A Match Made In Heaven

Re: Sega Profits Boosted By Angry Birds Creator Acquisition
@Lightsiyd Didn't they suck at that?
Re: Preview: In Ys X: Nordics, Adol And Boats Prove To Be A Match Made In Heaven
@Lightsiyd Regular encounters are always like that in Ys games, bosses and exploration are usually the focus of those games.
Anyways, you don't need to grind in Ys games, so you don't need to kill every one of them.
Re: Stumble Guys, The Hugely Popular Free-To-Play Battle Royal, Finally Lands Switch Date
@silver-crescent Fall guys being surpassed by Stumble guys isn't really that unfair. I think the ip was missmanaged, they never ported the game to mobiles and they didn't add local multiplayer. Plus, Epic games also laid off a big chunk of the studio.
Re: Braid: Anniversary Edition Sales Have Been "Utterly Terrible", Says Creator
Honestly, I think the indie gaming landscape has just changed. People is no longer that interested in early indie games, the indie platformers market is oversaturated and the competition is really tough.
I think games such as Limbo and Cave Story would never perform as well as they did if they were released this year. And most of the early indie studios weren't able to reach mainstream success in the current market.
Re: Rumour: Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games "Finished"
Those games definitely overstayed their welcome, so it's cool that they are letting the franchise rest instead of releasing another crash game. Thou who knows, maybe the license was just too expensive.
