Unfortunately the game will still be pretty bad because the level design and camera were AWFUL, but some of these changes are improvements.

However, most of these should've been there day one.

Making nifflheim easier is bunk, though.

The ACA release of Metal Black is superior, cheaper, and out now. Previous s-tribute releases had pretty beefy input lag.

An actually new Darius game would be incredible

please no ai stuff

Is that a threat?

@Jey887
It has tons of frames of animation, enemies, and VFX. I could see it easily taxing the Switch.

This doesn't seem useful for a Nintendo website...?

I didn't expected NintendoLife to have one of the lowest review scores for the game I've seen.

Oh well, I already pre ordered on ps4 and I'm still excited to try the game. It's always hard to take reviews as a whole when they tend to contradict each other. Different strokes for different folks, I guess?

@SteamEngenius these games aren't worth 10 cents. They've got more value than your modern AAA game IMO.

Honestly the open ended levels were the weakest parts of the game. I play Bayonetta to enjoy the high octane action and fighting, not to wander aimlessly and search for secrets.

I don't know why Platinum thought this was a good idea... Trend chasing I guess?

I've heard really good things about this one.

Very disappointing and no good reason is given. It was not Helena's choice, she said as much on twitter.

Isn't it a bit odd to not mention the 5 frames of input lag this version has over the original release? That's pretty important info to share in a review!

Surprised there's no Monster Rancher!

That's such a BS response about Sonic 3's music lmao

Tatsunoko vs Capcom is my #1

Followed by Progear and Tech Romancer

Dynasty warriors 8 Xtreme Legends is supposed to be really good. Why isn't it on the list?

I'd much prefer remasters to subscription-based ROM dumps. They need expanded views a la the Sonic genesis remasters (widescreen).

"It's still a very short game"

This is a complaint I see from people who don't understand that arcade games are played for 1ccs and high score runs. If you just credit feed every time you die then yeah, sure, it's "short" but you're not really playing the intended way and you're getting low scores...

I pick up anything with kaiju, so I'll add this to the list!

Not sure I quite understand how it plays, but I like big monsters!

I thought the trend of "show a trailer without gameplay" was only a AAA thing.

Kinda disappointing to see it in the "indie" sphere too. Though I guess this isn't indie anyways?

I came here expecting a shmup.

Do people use the word "bullet hell" to describe games that aren't Shmups now?

Was hoping for at least one game that wasn't a shoe in hyper popular million seller. :/

EXCELLENT use of the word 'Brobdingnagian'!

Dawn has been out since tuesday, will NintendoLife review it? So far its been getting really positive buzz.

@Bkirchhoff There is but like previous WayForward LRG CEs the code comes on the day the game releases via email. You dont get it right now before launch.

@Lord lmao the European rating symbols are way, way worse!

That's funny. Over here you can trade and sell any version of any game anywhere- no problem!

@Lord the LRG release is region-free and ships worldwide!

If there was a physical sale id be down

There's also a collector's edition from Limited Run Games!: https://limitedrungames.com/collections/dawn-of-the-monsters?view=boost-pfs-original

Love the KoF-style to this!

Given how negative the review sounded, I'm surprised it got so high a score!

$50 physical? $40 digital??

What the heck is going on here?

The SEGA Genesis version has a WAY better soundtrack.

NFTs take something that can be free and open, and make it limited and scarce.

They are fundamentally useless and an artificial way to make digital spaces worse.

I highly doubt the Switch GPU can handle this...

If only it were wireless...

I'll order the physical from Japan if it's fixed

While a decent review, it's pretty unprofessional to use the terms "loli" and "trap" unironically in 2021. Loli is a term specifically evocative of pedophilic media and trap is a pretty nasty transphobic term. I get that some of that history or nuance may be lost on some people (even the author), but it's kinda cringe to read.

Surprised this got past the NL editing team.

Isn't this a shmup?

stop buying mario kart 8 ffs

@Omario It's really hard to determine that. They seem fairly happy with how they are selling (enough to tease more ports), but it's all tough to figure out. Sales data for this stuff doesn't appear to be available publicly.

I remember seeing that Darius Cozmic Revelation sold alright, but it looked like Cotton Reboot didn't sell that well. But that's only physical sales in Japan first week.

I wish I cared. Even if its good, I can't bring myself to play something for a game I dislike, from a company I dislike, for a community I dislike.

But like... Why this and not Namco Museum Vol. 2?

This is cool but c'mon...

Genuine question: what impact does performance have in a turn-based RPG?

That's a shame. It looked like it held some promise.

Disgusting how insensitive a lot of these comments are.

Mercury Steam has a terrible reputation among the developer community in Spain. None of this is surprising, all of it is awful.

@Spiders you genuinely have NO idea what you're talking about. I'm a game industry veteran. On every project I work on, I get credits.

The only reason Mercury Steam does this is because they're run by awful people and have a terrible reputation in Spain.

The biggest problem is that there is no actual reason to exclude someone from the credits. Doesn't matter if they worked a day or a year. Give them credit.
