@JayJ except it's not. I know you're probably a kid so you don't get it, but when this game came out it was played 99% for online multi and that's what it's legacy is. People still play this game online on PC original release. It's a multiplayer game that happens to have a campaign mode for most people.

@WallyWest you can't play with someone you know. You can only play online with randoms. That's a huge missing features and it's available on PS4!

And it's missing custom matches which is terrible.

Did they make it so you can play online with friends? Party play? Join/invite?

This game is a scam. NintendoLife should report on the broken and missing features.

It's a shame a huge chunk of these releases are already readily available elsewhere... Who needs another port of Sonic 2? And is it even as good as the iOS ver?

SEGA and M2 need to step it up and release Saturn and 3D arcade games as well as more sought-after arcade releases like Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adder.

AGES has been an extreme disappointment on the Switch.

@SuperWeird I talked to Aspyr and Nintendo and got a refund on the game.

It's a really baffling feature omission. Apparently you can do it on PS4, just not Switch.

Aaaaand the review completely fails to mention that online play lacks friend/party options. So if you want to play online, its with RANDOMS only.

It's a huge letdown. Shocked its not mentioned here.

Nintendolife, you cannot play this game online with friends. That's worth reporting on. It's useless and busted.

I even got my copy refunded...

Also worth mentioning- no custom games and you can't play with Nintendo Switch friends at all! You cant even make party!

c'mon NintendoLife... report on the huge missing features from this botched port!

This isn't from Nintendo its from an indie studio Nintendo refused to name drop: I believe Paladin studios.

Glad I waited. I was really cautious when I heard SEGA was not involved and when it got shadow-dropped before reviews. Always a bad sign!

im not sold on this yet. really shady game. unknown developer, futatsugi has no involvement, sega has no involvement, shadow dropped without reviews...

I'm gonna wait. worried this will be trash... hope its not...

Pizza Titan Ultra!

@nessisonett they always had and used their own in-house engine.

glad nicalis isn't involved in la mulana. . .

Is this a momotetsu ripoff?

The answer: No.

You aren't paying for anything. It used to be free, and Nintendo isn't hosting servers for anyone except, sometimes, themselves.

There isn't even party chat.

NSO sucks.

Goose Game is a meme... There were incredible achievements in game design this year and the meme takes the top award.

I'm at a loss.

There's an error in the article. Nintendo does not own "half the IP" of Bayonetta.

It is owned wholly by SEGA. Nintendo simply licensed it and published the sequel game.

Not sure where that rumor started, but it's completely unsourced.

none. no more. make new games please nintendo.

@somebread he was not the guy who said 'anime fan on prom night'

Aren't these guys millionaires after Sonic Mania? Why do they need kickstarter? Did SEGA not pay them?

Ugh... This AGES line has been super disappointing... This continues the trend... Switch will be on its way out and we won't have any Saturn games.

I'm into games being short. I'll give this a look.

"We’ve now reached the tenth game in the Sega Ages series, and it’s safe to say the project has been a resounding success"

Releases coming out months late, a mixed bag of readily available titles in other, cheaper collections and games that aren't deserving of re-releases alongside the fact that M2 refuses to release Saturn, Naomi, Dreamcast, Model 2 or 3 games?

I don't think I'd call it a success...

Given the overwhelmingly negative review, I'm surprised this still got a 5.

Tbh the SEGA AGES collection on switch is kinda bumming me out. It feels like most of the titles are either re dos of Sega 3D classics or or just games that aren't all that exciting. The only real "wow" release was Thunder Force IV and maybe Virtua Racing and there just doesn't seem to be much else to get excited about on top of the drip feed of titles...

Gotta be honest, outside of WB and HZ this is kinda disappointing. . . Arcade shinobi isn't great and the rest are a bit underwhelming too. It's hard to get excited when the line seems to be intentionally avoiding model 2, 3, Naomi, Saturn, and DC games and is so behind schedule...

@Abeedo more like Runbow with less maps, less modes, no real SP options, less players, less characters, etc.

In reality the games are quite different.

As far as I have heard this is due to Nicalis and their VERY shady business practises. Essentially stole the game from Pelikan13.

I actually quite enjoyed this game. The combo system is way more complex than anything in the Beat Em Up Bundle (barring maybe Battle Circuit) and the combat feels really chunky and heavy.

The graphics make it hard to look at for extended periods, though.

@marnelljm
amen

Why would I pay for something that was free and hasn't gotten any better?

This has to be the worst sound design/music I've ever experienced in a video game.

The visuals are ok but the sound effects are awful and terribly mixed.

I'm still on the fence. I wanted something more like Sonic Mania- gorgeous pixel art with smooth animations, a true sequel to the original. This looks like it doesn't capture the mood and tone of the original at all.

Wow. So they basically pulled the rights out from under FarSight. . .

I'm down though. I was not interested in Pinball FX since it's not "real" pinball but now I'm interested.

Those screenshots look kinda janky. The sprite-scaling seems off.

I bought this back on 3DS, and I wasn't super impressed with it. The combat is surprisingly sluggish.

$2 is not a bad price for a table, so if it has TATE and its good enough I'll pick it up, especially since TPA lost all the bally and williams tables.

But... I can't find any information on this pinball table? Is it REALLY a recreation table?

The virtual console (and the ACA series) were barebones rom dumps.

These releases and the special collections (SNK, Street fighter, Megaman & X Legacy, Namco Museum) are way better.

RIP VC, but what we have now is better...

Will it have training mode? Nope.

Will it have online mode? Nope.

Will it have a crappy switch icon? Yup.

I'd much prefer Tatsunoko vs Capcom, tbh...

I was so excited for this game, hoping for a new Metal Slug style shooter. I was so let down right from the start. The first mission is a collect-a-thon!

Ugh.

This looks like a bad freeware title... I think Team17 might be backing the wrong horse here... :/

No gunstar super heroes?

No Astro Boy Omega Factor?

Ha.

I'm surprised at the high score. Looks like a fun but fairly basic platformer.

North America? Is it EU only?

I hope we don't get shafted again. . .

dig dug

I'm liking Odyssey, but it's far from my favourite or what I think is 'the best' - it's just shiny and new.

It's fantastic, don't get me wrong, but I don't think it's best.

I heard really bad things about the animation and dialogue, but have yet to check them out. Hopefully they improve.

Isn't Runbow Pocket out, too? :/

As one of the biggest fans of SNK and this game in particular I have to strongly disagree with this review.

Shipping a fantastic fighting game without a TRAINING mode or even ONLINE PLAY should knock serious points off of this version of the game. Espec. when other platforms have smiliarly priced editions with online and training (and achievements!).

@faint Yes I have. You can't assign buttons to triggers or assign macros. It's laughable.

No online. No training mode. No button configuration.

Ugh. No effort!
