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.
@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.
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.
You should report on the article that explained how they are leaving and have sold their offices. It appears all of this is more lies after 2 years of it.

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

Surprised this got past the NL editing team.
Re: Yurukill Is A Squid Game-Like Visual Novel Coming To Switch Next Year
Isn't this a shmup?

Re: Review: Ruined King: A League of Legends Story - A Brilliant Experience Beyond Its Franchise
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.
Re: Pac-Man Museum+ Brings 14 Games In The Series To Switch
But like... Why this and not Namco Museum Vol. 2?
This is cool but c'mon...
Re: Review: Shin Megami Tensei V - The Best Entry Yet In This Dark, Engrossing RPG Series
Genuine question: what impact does performance have in a turn-based RPG?
Re: Review: Aeon Must Die! - An Aggressively Repetitive Beat 'Em Up That Tries Way Too Hard
That's a shame. It looked like it held some promise.
Re: Metroid Dread Studio Hit With Allegations Of Poor Organisation And Management
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.
Re: Talking Point: The Metroid Dread Credits Debate Is Sadly Common
@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.

Re: Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Release Date And Pricing Revealed
LMAO 50 bucks + DLC for a game I don't even own?
No thanks.
Re: Review: Metroid Dread - Quite Possibly The Best Metroid Game Ever Made
@Damo Same time Samus Returns gets a fair review that addresses its major issues. Sorry, it ain't a 10 either. It's a 6, maybe a 7.
So I gotta take any Nintendo review on this site with a huge grain of salt.
Re: Review: Metroid Dread - Quite Possibly The Best Metroid Game Ever Made
I feel like Nintendo life has gotten harder on Indies and 3rd party games and way, way more lenient on Nintendo games in the past few years.
This and SS HD don't deserve the praise they've gotten.
Re: Review: Espgaluda II - Localisation Issues Can't Spoil This Superb Shmup
Shame about the translation, hope it gets patched!
Still gonna pick it up.
Re: Review: Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions - Comes Out Swinging On Switch
Anyone else find it weird the reviewer calls it a "beat em up" when it's a fighting game?
Is that not a standard term?
Re: Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania 'SEGA Legends' Pack Brings Back Classic Consoles
why are they announcing DLC before the game launches? This should just be included...
Re: Crisis Wing Blasts Onto Switch This September
This looks great. I'll definitely keep an eye on this as I heard great things about it.
Re: Review: Sonic Colors Ultimate - The Best 3D Sonic Game Gets A Respectable Remaster
I wouldn't call this "the best 3D sonic game" by a longshot
Re: 10 Best Wii U-To-Nintendo Switch Ports
Isn't New Super Mario Bros U deluxe broken because you can't hold jump and do the spin like the Wii U ver?
And Bayonetta Switch is extra laggy?
Re: Valfaris: Mecha Therion Is A Genre-Switching Sequel Headed To Switch
A shmup?? Hell yes now I'm interested
Re: Review: Love Esquire - A Fantastic Voice Cast Elevates This Seductive Romp
I think the cons were just posted as "Something to note" and didn't affect the score.
Re: Among Us Devs Speak Out About Fortnite's Suspiciously Familiar 'Impostors' Mode
As if Among Us was that original to begin with.
Who cares, the devs are millionaires, go wipe your tears with the dumb money you have.
Re: Aeon Must Die! Is Bringing Stylish Futuristic Beat 'em Up Action To Switch
Didn't the publisher con the developers of this game?

G-Darius HD with Mushihimesama a close second
Re: Video: The Addams Family: Mansion Mayhem Gets A Spooky New Gameplay Trailer
It's so weird that PHL Collective made this

Gunning for Bayonetta 3's record

I thought people hated this game
Re: Microids To Reveal Panzer Dragoon And The House Of The Dead Switch Physical Editions
If house of the dead doesn't come with a light gun its literally a useless remake.
Re: Dispatch Games To Send Digital Codes As Customers Await Delayed Physical Orders
@TheAwesomeBowser they're already closing their doors. This is all BS.
Re: Dispatch Games To Send Digital Codes As Customers Await Delayed Physical Orders
You should report on the article that explained how they are leaving and have sold their offices. It appears all of this is more lies after 2 years of it.
Re: Talking Point: Our Favourites From E3 2021
Mushihimesama hands down
Re: Taito Milestones Is A Collection Of Arcade Archives Titles Heading To Switch
Huh... This is cool but the title selection is lacking. I'd rather they release
RayStorm
Gun Frontier
Metal Black
etc...
The Egret II Mini looks more promising.
Re: Review: Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection - Ryu Hayabusa Deserves Better Than This
A 5 because it has performance issues?
Did you play the originals??? Lmao
Re: Review: Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Storm Ground - Ruined By Roguelike Repetition
Those screenshots don't look "captured on Switch" to me...
Re: Reminder: DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power Is Out Now On Nintendo Switch
Who developed this? Is it Nintendo?
Re: Want More Cool Mini Game Systems? Say Hello To The Taito EGRET II Mini

Re: Video: 14 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In June
Darius Cozmic Collection and Cotton Reboot for me
Re: Review: Wonder Boy: Asha In Monster World - A Fine Revival, Faithful To A Fault
The graphics are a bit too off-putting for me to consider picking it up. The original is so beautiful.
Re: Rumour: Genshin Impact For Switch Reportedly Delayed Due To "Weaker Hardware"
@Snatcher Yeah, and BotW was built by the people who MADE the hardware and it still ran like crap at launch. Even now it's pretty rough at parts.
Re: Poll: What's The Best Dragon Quest Game?
V is the best I've played. And I surprisingly enjoyed VII much more than VIII.
III is great, but I played the GBC version. IV is great but I played the DS version.
Stay away from the NES versions.
Re: Nintendo Switch AniMAY Sale Discounts Lots Of Anime Games, Up To 84% Off (North America)
Does the DB Fighterz DLC ever go on sale? I don't need the full game but I want the DLC...
Re: Talking Point: Surely It's Time For Game Boy On Nintendo Switch Online?
If you want to play gameboy game, just emulate. Hack a Wii, hack a 3DS, etc.
I don't want Nintendo wasting time and resources doing sloppy emulation work that is available everywhere for free.
Re: House Of The Dead: Remake Shoots To Switch Later This Year
No lightgun peripheral, no buy.
Playing HotD with a cursor is a travesty.
Re: Talking Point: Which Old Game Series Would You Like To See Revived?
MY HERO
