@GameOtaku Couldn't agree more. So long as games come from Japan, we'll get games with fanservice. No one changes their culture because a video game reviewer doesn't agree with it.

That said, there are so many of these templated arena fighters this gen that I don't see a need to buy yet another, particularly not with FE:Three Houses out today as well.

Glad to see this reviewed so highly. Honestly, it's one of those games I scroll right over when I see it in the eShop, figuring it probably isn't my thing. This review makes it sound like it's 100% my thing - so thanks, going to check it out.

Just when I think nintendo doesn’t listen to fan feedback, nintendo listens to fan feedback. What world is this?

Ok so now Mother 3 is coming west right? No?

Not too shocked. Japan has a ridiculous love of baseball and Konami’s baseball titles get lines of people buying them each year there. That said, I’m so underwhelmed by MUA3 that I regret buying it at all.

While I see a definite market for the Lite, I've had enough issues with either breaking Joy-Cons, having issues with them, or just overall feeling that the Switch is 5x more fragile than say a 3DS where I'm passing on it for now. I'd love to have a proper Only-On-The-Go Switch as I'm scared to death of traveling with mine very much, but the Lite isn't it. If Nintendo can bring out a Switch Lite+ sometime down the road, I might change my mind. I would love a 2DS-XL-like Switch with a built-in cover. It's never even occurred to me that my 2DS XL or 3DS XL might eventually have faulty controllers. All these years later my original launch DS still works flawlessly. The Joy-Cons just aren't built to last.

Have this on my PS4 but rarely play it, despite really enjoying the game. File this as 'yet another title I would play a LOT more if I could play it portable,' and count me in for the Switch version.

Now if only I could actually find my PS4 Pro underneath all of this dust...

One of my top 10 favorite franchises; it can't possibly end here. Gimme 3.

Makes sense, this stands as my most regretted purchase so far this year. Didn’t even bother playing it online.

Buy them all a 3rd or 4th time? Nah. I'll pass, thanks.

I'll double-dip this day one because Yo-Kai obsessed. My favorite weird Japan franchise, hands down.

I already have this on PS4 – I'm pretty sure it was a PS Plus title in the states at one point, plus I already have it via Xbox Game Pass. It's an incredible game to be sure, but it's far too short to warrant $20. Given that its well over a year old now, it seems a bit scummy to charge this much for it. Switch Tax lives I suppose.

I'd give it an 8/10. I guess I was a bit more impressed with it. I'm not really a hardcore fan of the show or anything, just thought they did a really good job with the license. Sort of a rarity, even with LEGO games.

I’d settle for a Switch that could do WiFi with mild latency at this point.

Pffft. I have 3 VR headsets- Rift, PSVR, and one of those nonsense Samsung gizmos. Nintendo doesn’t need VR. VR needs Nintendo. Bad.

This list reminds me that I need to hurry up and import Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball like RIGHT. NOW. Love those games.

Got this and Virtua Racing the second they were made available and am absolutely shocked that I’ve been playing this one 10:1 over VR. I remember strongly disliking this game back in the day; for some reason it’s really clicked with me this time around.

And again I’m reminded how much I’d love to have Wind Waker HD on Switch.

This is a strange one. I bought it before reading this review but didn’t play it until after. It’s good, but whereas some titles feature what I think of as “premium” pixel-art, this game has a sort of Kemco-like cheapness to it that I can’t quite put a finger on. Still, it’s mostly fun to play but I’d give it a 6/10 on its best day; there are far too many better shooters on the eShop.

I’m in for both SolSeraph and Stranger Things 3, even though I didn’t play prior Stranger Things games. The Wii U release is sort of sad for me though, I just packed up my Wii U and 75 games yesterday as I couldn’t stand to see how much dust it had been collecting. End of an era. I really, really loved that system.

I'd happily buy a Switch Pro with an OLED display. I hate that my day one PS Vita's screen puts my Switch's screen to shame. Night and day difference. Otherwise, couldn't care less about a minor CPU bump or any of that sort of thing.

I buy these even though I am possibly the worst player in the world at them. This one will be no exception. In.

Weird. Maybe it's my old man reflexes or just the fact that I've not been more than 20% or so through the Switch version but I'm not seeing all of the issues other people are when I compared to PS4, which I completed the day after it came out. Granted, I've been playing undocked and have yet to put it on the big screen but hiccups to date, of which I've counted only two, have been so brief that I don't think I'd have noticed them had I not been looking for them.

I love all these companies that aren't called "Limited Run" - have collected some real gems over the past year or so. Wish July wasn't such a poor month for me, I already preordered everything coming out in September on Amazon and I've got all of $15 left to spend on games until the holiday season. Boo.

I'm really curious about Truberbrook for no good reason. It isn't a genre that even appeals to me but I've been chomping at the bit to see that one come down to half-price since it launched.

The game has been out for less than 24 hours and people have already hit the 32 level upload cap? I think that pretty much summarizes WHY there needs to be a 32 level upload cap to begin with, doesn't it? Why not offer local storage of unlimited levels, with 32 or so "live" levels? The point here is clearly to boost the quality, reduce spam, make the game a better place to play. No complaints here at all. I've already played a dozen or so fantastic levels and 3 awful ones - like TRULY awful. Balance is ok but I'm all for whatever measures Nintendo wants to take to make it even better.

Meh. Watch it on YouTube. Done.

I fully expected this to show up in the mail today and argue with NintendoLife that they gave Sonic the shaft again. Nope. 7/10 nails it.

I've completed Child of Light on Xbox One and Switch both. It's amazing, to say the least, but I'd just as soon the devs went on to create something entirely different. I'm more than a bit burned out on sequels. Just because you can doesn't mean you should, even if in this case they can't.

Love that Cuphead is so popular on Switch. It'd be interesting to see if some of Microsoft's other recent titles would succeed on the platform as well. Bring on lower-res Sea of Thieves and State of Decay 2. It'll never happen, but I can dream.

I'm not sure why every "gamer" feels the need to be catered to these days but last I checked, we're everywhere. Everyone is a gamer. I'm not special, you're not special, old school Sonic fans (of which I am one) are not special. Movies are a business and they're meant to make money. If we're only making a Sonic movie for the people that enjoyed the original 2 or 3 games and are in the market to go see a film based on a nearly 30 year old video game character, they won't make a dime - and hey, maybe they won't. Thing is though, if they make a film using that character as inspiration, and they make it for modern family viewers, it actually might work. Me and my kid will be there for the first showing, not because I expect it to be great, but because anyway you look at it, it's going to take me back to the early 90s - as will Jim Carey. The last thing on my mind is whether or not its going to be loved by a bunch of "fans" on the internet. Who cares? I'm a fan. I'm on the internet. I just want to be entertained for two hours, with zero expectation that Paramount has to live up to my nostalgia.

Give me this over an MK11 any day.

Thank you for eliminating the need to watch yet another pointless Digital Foundry video. Don't get me wrong, I like those guys and even support them via Patreon, but they could reduce their output by half and I'd be fine. I don't need another 8x magnified analysis of an effing digital mud puddle, let alone a close examination of the pixelation in Mugman's left leg.

Is it pretty much the same? Yes? Ok great. Moving on...

I own in on XB1X and PC anyway and probably won't buy the Switch version, but I can't help but smile knowing that Nintendo fans get to enjoying breaking their controllers over such an amazing game.

I don't want to live in a world that would rather buy The Lego Movie Game 2 than FFX/X-2. That's a world with seriously backward priorities.

Fortnite and Avengers. Two words I don't care if I never read again.

Not at all shocked that Switch has surpassed both the N64 and GameCube. While I had a certain amount of love for both, or at least a handful of games on both, neither one were exactly Nintendo's finest. The Switch is a completely different story. While I'd love to see Nintendo double their first-party output on the Switch, at least it's been getting an even mix of the "best of Wii U" and some great new titles. All the poor N64 ever got was Mario 64, GoldenEye, and a marginal F-Zero game. Oh right, and that amazing Superman cart. I actually bought that. So stupid.

I've played the original but can't quite remember what platform I had it on - Atari ST maybe? All I remember about it was that I paid too much for it and played it for maybe a total of 30 minutes. Not my bag whatsoever. Still, I want worse games remastered so to each their own.

Day one preorder of the special edition here. My nostalgia knows no lows. Loved the last Bubsy.

Sigh. I hate April Fool's Day.

Alex Kidd never got the love he (sometimes) deserved back in the day. If Mario wasn't trouncing all over him on the Nintendo side, the abysmally-named, yet mostly amazing Wonder Boy series was stealing his thunder on the Sega side. This was an immediate purchase for me. Sega did a lot of things wrong in the Master System years but Alex Kidd was definitely not one of them.

Had this been a Switch launch title I would've been on it day one. Now that I own it (and the original) at least 3x over I'm going to skip it this time around. Great game though. Highly recommend it to anyone that missed it on every other console made in the past 10 years.

I've tried so very hard to like this game, let alone love it, and it just isn't happening. At first I thought maybe it was because it never felt quite right on Xbox One. Got the Switch version - physical no less - still didn't win me over. Somehow I doubt the addition of some scanlines is going to be the thing that does the trick. Oh well, live and learn.

Gimme a physical 2-pack of both this and BattleBlock Theater and I’ll give you a paycheck. Maybe not a whole paycheck, but a decent chunk of a paycheck. Must buy.

Oh wow. I forgot all about the 3DO release. I still have that. Thanks for the reminder @retro_player_22. Those were the days.

I've played through this on SNES, Sega CD, and Xbox One. I'm burned out on it at this point. It was all I could do to get force myself to get through the Xbox version, and even then it was only because it was a pretty easy 1,000 achievement points. Flashback aged ok, Out of This World not quite as much. No buy.

Meanwhile, across the street from Nintendo HQ in Redmond, Washington, Xbox is ecstatic that maybe, just maybe, this news will finally be the thing that makes everyone forget Scalebound was cancelled.

@the8thark No, instead I'll dismiss you outright for acting like you're 12 and spare the rest of the commenters an 8 page list of my Steam library.

@the8thark ummmm, nearly every game I've got from Humble Bundle over the years.

I can think of at least 620 5-year old indie games I'd rather have than this without even looking at the over-inflated price. All I need to do is look over at my dusty Steam library.

MK8 will likely never top MK Wii sales but given how inept I am at using a Wii Remote to drive a kart, I've more or less forgotten (or tried really hard to forget) that game exists. But given how amazing MK8 is, I still scratch my head whenever another Hello Kitty Kart Racers or All Star Fruit Racing is released. What's the point? If it's a cash-in, cool, but at least release that trash at $20 instead of $40.

Guys, guys, don't feed the trolls, especially the ones that can't spell properly. As a hardcore Xbox One fanboy myself, I'm ridiculously used to the Sony hate. Let them claim all the "Nintendo only caters to 5 year old" garbage all they want, then turn right around and play a few rounds of Spider-Man. They're hypocrites with nothing better to do than try to win an argument they alone are having. In the meantime, Switch pwns Japan, SMBDU finally finds the audience it deserves, Splatoon 2 continues to be one of the best games on the planet (despite shaky Nintendo online), and all is right in the world.
