Poor visuals, lackluster gameplay, and no single player content. Really the only saving grace is the price, but there are much better ways to spend that money.
I bought this last year. Honestly the fighting mechanics are pretty great, but the single player is boring. Multiplayer can be great, but in COVID times its hard to get a friend to come over...
I've had two instances where games were broken and I got a digital refund from Nintendo but in one case I had to contact the better business bureau to get them to do it.
@LeonBelmontX What about Bayonetta? Ninja Gaiden? Devil May Cry?
Those are also beat em ups that aren't open world.
It sounds like you just don't like beat em ups- they can be modernized and made great, its just most indies dont bother to stray far from the tried and true.
Like, I agree with you but I don't think its a genre issue, it's just developers need to modernize 2D ones the same way 3D ones have been modernized.

And then Xbox ate their lunch that generation... Damn.
Re: Top Hat Studios Issues Statement Regarding Demands To Censor Sense - A Cyberpunk Ghost Story
This seems fake. There's no evidence of them being threatened. It's an attention-grab.
Re: Hideki Kamiya Says Bayonetta 3's Development Is "Going Very Well"
The more they say "development is going well" the more it is clear that it is NOT going well.
Re: Review: Among Us - The Lockdown Hit Finally Comes To Switch
I found this game to be miserable.
Poor visuals, lackluster gameplay, and no single player content. Really the only saving grace is the price, but there are much better ways to spend that money.
Re: Another Taito Game Joins Hamster's Arcade Archives Collection This Week
I'd rather see these in a Taito arcade collection...

What the heck are these games
Re: Nicalis Is Trying To Erase Free Versions Of Cave Story From The Internet
I boycotted these jerks ages ago.
I suggest you all do the same.
Re: Capcom's Releasing A Mini-Arcade System Packed With Mega Man And Street Fighter Games
"packed with Mega Man and Street Fighter games"
It has 10 games. 4 of them are variants of the same game.
Re: Doom Eternal For Switch Will No Longer Receive A Physical Release
we still haven't seen as much as a screenshot.
Get it on PS4/XBO/ or PC everyone.
Re: Review: Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered - A Racer From A More Innocent Time
"Might be too linear for some players looking for more depth"
open world does NOT equal depth. This is silly.
Re: Huge Capcom Leak Suggests New Final Fight, Power Stone, Mega Man And Dragon's Dogma Games Are Coming
Lmao this has to be a joke
Re: Nintendo Calls Switch Piracy "A Worsening International Problem" As It Sues Another Hack Seller
I hope they don't win anything. Modifying a console is perfectly legal and helps preserve these games and machines.
Re: Belt-Scrolling Brawler Zero Team Joins The Arcade Archives Range Tomorrow
This game has 4 different versions:
Zero Team
Zero Team USA
New Zero Team
Zero Team 2000
the last two work in MAME, the other two do not afaik.
Re: Review: Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity - Not The Zelda Game You Want, But Perhaps The One You Need
Those handheld screenshots are looking rough...
Also bummed that this is the major holiday release from Nintendo this year.
Re: Physicality Games Cancels Its Exclusive Pre-Orders For Switch, Will Refund All Customers
It's frustrating because they could've just focused on selling games instead of pre orders but they insisted on hitting a moq for really niche games
Re: Hands On: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Makes You Wish You Didn't Know How It Ends
@TheFrenchiestFry the assets are ripped from BotW.
It makes it seem like they put less effort in lol
Re: Dragon Quest Creator Promises "All Sorts Of Announcements" For 35th Anniversary
DQ III needs a remake
Re: Gal*Gun Returns To Bare All In Super-Limited "Birthday Suit Collector's Edition"
@BeautyandtheBeer
Yeah and this game is made for people who like to sexually harass underage girls, I guess.
Enjoy!
Re: Gal*Gun Returns To Bare All In Super-Limited "Birthday Suit Collector's Edition"
This ***** is so damn creepy. I really don't get why Inti makes this series.
Re: Nintendo Download: 29th October (North America)
I'm only here for Crimson Clover: World EXplosion! Mad hype for that game! One of the greats.
Re: Review: Pumpkin Jack - The Perfect Platforming Treat For The Spooky Season
An entire review but no mention of performance/framerate? damn.
Re: Video: 3D Platformer Pumpkin Jack Gets A Frightfully Action-Packed Launch Trailer
I'm staying cautious. The developer hasn't shown any Switch footage so I expect it to run at 10fps.
Re: Review: Zoids Wild: Blast Unleashed - Flashy Fighting Ruined By Basic Gameplay And A Lack Of Content
I bought this last year. Honestly the fighting mechanics are pretty great, but the single player is boring. Multiplayer can be great, but in COVID times its hard to get a friend to come over...
Re: Spooky 3D Platformer Pumpkin Jack Will Haunt Nintendo Switch This Halloween
We still haven't seen any footage from the Switch version... so maybe I'll get PS4 instead...
Re: Mini Review: Super Blood Hockey - Violent Sports Action That Gets Tired Too Quickly
I've been playing this game for over a year it's great. And an absolute blast in multiplayer.
Re: Feature: Best Nintendo Switch Collections And Compilation Games
Darius Cozmic Collection is my favourite- incredible care and impeccable quality.
Mario 3D All-Stars is my least favourite. It's an emulated ROM-dump with no special features and mucked up controls + weak performance.
Re: Talking Point: Does Nintendo Have A Refund Problem?
I've had two instances where games were broken and I got a digital refund from Nintendo but in one case I had to contact the better business bureau to get them to do it.
Re: Review: Super Mario 3D All-Stars - Three Of Mario's Greatest Adventures Come To Switch
a shame about the emulation quality
Re: Cuphead Gets His Own Fast Food Toy Line At Arby's Restaurants
This isn't indie anymore
Re: Sega Reveals Sonic's 30th Anniversary Logo, Will Share Additional Plans "In The Coming Months"
Mania 2.
Please.
Re: Review: Bounty Battle - A Reprehensible Indie-Infused Take On Super Smash Bros.
Too bad. Stick to Runbow.
Re: Retro-Style Arcade Shmup Rangok Skies Is Blasting Onto Switch
I'm interested! Hope it plays as slick as it looks.
Re: Review: Bounty Battle - A Reprehensible Indie-Infused Take On Super Smash Bros.
Well at least we have Runbow...
Re: Review: Hotshot Racing - A Fantastic Ode To The Days Of Virtua Racing, Ridge Racer And Daytona USA
Wait... I can't play a 2-player online race with a friend??
Re: Review: Super Mario All-Stars - All That Glitters Isn't Necessarily Gold
I fully prefer the All-stars version to the originals. I find the NES versions ugly.
Re: Random: This 3D-Printed Pinball Controller For Your Switch Is Totally Wizard
Very cool and impressive!
But... how do you nudge? I'm guessing you can still access the joystick?
Re: 8BitDo Reveals Its New Customisable Arcade Stick For Nintendo Switch, Pre-Orders Now Live
Is it just me or does it look too thin? How am I supposed to fit my buttons in this?
Re: Review: Takeshi & Hiroshi - A Short And Shallow Adventure Which Looks Better Than It Plays
NintendoLife reviews are getting brutal recently. All other reviews of this game are at least a 7.
Re: Guide: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For September And October 2020
Yuck. NBA 2K games are awful and predatory. Disappointed they would be shipped here.
Otherwise looks like a barren period for switch. Fine by me! I've got no shortage of games.
Re: Video: Here's Your First Look At Wonder Boy - Asha In Monster World
Yikes... This looks incredibly rough
Why 3D??
Re: Herzog Zwei Joins Japan's Sega Ages Line On 27th August
An odd title for the ages line to go out on.
Makes sense since Sega seems more focused on mini consoles nowadays.
Re: 13 More Games Have Just Been Confirmed For Sega's Astro City Mini Console
@shonenjump86 prepare to import. The Astro City arcade cabinet never got released anywhere but Japan.
I would not expect this to get released overseas.
Re: 13 More Games Have Just Been Confirmed For Sega's Astro City Mini Console
@EmmatheBest Where did you see that?
Re: 13 More Games Have Just Been Confirmed For Sega's Astro City Mini Console
@StuartGipp True! I always forget to consider that.
Re: 13 More Games Have Just Been Confirmed For Sega's Astro City Mini Console
Only one Shmup so far... Hope we get more!
Re: Fallen City Brawl Is A New Pixel-Art Beat 'Em Up Hoping To Launch On Switch
@LeonBelmontX What about Bayonetta? Ninja Gaiden? Devil May Cry?
Those are also beat em ups that aren't open world.
It sounds like you just don't like beat em ups- they can be modernized and made great, its just most indies dont bother to stray far from the tried and true.
Like, I agree with you but I don't think its a genre issue, it's just developers need to modernize 2D ones the same way 3D ones have been modernized.
Re: Fallen City Brawl Is A New Pixel-Art Beat 'Em Up Hoping To Launch On Switch
@LeonBelmontX
No offense man but that sounds terrible.
Not every game needs to be open world. High quality beat em ups have their place. If you don't like them, don't play them.
Re: Ikaruga's Physical Release Will Launch This Year In The West, Next Month In Japan
Not interested in supporting Nicalis whatsoever.
I'll stick to the superior GCN version.
Re: Kaiju-Battling Strategy Title Volta-X Hits Switch On August 12th
Wow this looks awesome!
Re: Talking Point: Is Nintendo Making As Many Games As It Used To?
@Nemesis666 nah bra.
Nintendo's output this gen is laughable. Brain Age, Xenoblade Chronicles remaster, Donkey Kong- all ports.
We didn't even get a new Mario Kart for the Switch.
It sucks.
