Splatoon is the only "live service" game I've ever gotten behind, because every update felt like an addition of love and care rather than necessity and corporate deadlines.
It proved it all the way back during the 2.0 update of Splatoon 2 and they've continued proving themselves right all the way to now. Splatoon 3 will wrap up soon, but the next game is just over the horizon.
Jeez there's a lot of vitriol in this comment section huh? Idk about the package itself as an experience as I haven't played it myself, but in response to delay?
Ngl though, if you comb E3 coverage like I do, this was pretty obvious from the getgo. On the other consoles they definitively said September, with Switch they tentatively said releasing alongside the third installment. Very easy to spot the difference in standing imo
Another one locked into the books. Everybody was worried July would be just Zelda, but of course it wasn't going to be. Just were quite a few games that didn't finalize their dates.
Sad that my preorder from a month or so ago won't be directly helping, but hopefully a part of that 25k can be attributed to me.
And I loved Ori, the dev team, the fact that the dev team picked up Dr.M64, the beautiful visuals, breaking console boundaries, and now this? I genuinely hope they win many awards tomorrow.
Honestly, they aren't wrong. It's like if you are so dedicated to the craft why are you not crafting? That's the main reason I worry when involving myself with anything close to kickstarter.
And then Watsham basically breathes down the neck of anything involving him in news, making it feel awkward to even say anything. It doesn't say anything about his character or the type of person but like... just go work and let your games speak for themselves you know? Or at least let others speak without you in the audience.
@RupeeClock You're right this wouldn't be his field. But the reason I said maybe is because we aren't sure what definitive edition means. Having a new bonus level in made by Dr.M would be legendary.
Even if not, I just want to see him in the credits. AM2R was too great for him to never have his name on a Nintendo platform
I'm sad that there isn't a Luigi Green bundle, considering how well it would go with the Mario Red joy cons. These colors just ain't as good looking either.
Although, I do want to have a Neon Purple + Neon Yellow Switch. Simply cause its probably the ugliest I can go ;3
Its just Red Green and Blue, I don't get it? The buttons are a nice touch, but the rest of the design is just too understated to incite any inkling of nostalgia for the 64. Hell, it's closer looking to the Super Famicom logo!
juvenoia (uncountable) (neologism) The fear or hostility directed by an older generation toward a younger one, or toward youth culture in general.
Just gonna leave this here... though I 100% agree the artstyle is not great. I doubt the feeling of Battletoads could be accurately portrayed like this.
I'll wait for reviews. That's fair enough to the development team, they aren't lazy or anything from what I can see. I want some more mech popularity in the west and I hope we see more.
Same with Dragon Quest 11 S, except that game looks better. September is going to murder me.
I want to make a disgusted face through an emoticon, but I can't make any that expressive. Not only does Nintendo have a year and a half to go before needing to worry about those next gen consoles, online cloud based systems? In a portable console? Ruining the whole appeal of the portability in the first place? For a company being run in a country filled with handheld lovers?
If it is solely Animal Crossing, investors are so damn short sighted they must be blind. Holiday season = Pokemon, Luigi's Mansion. YOU DON'T NEED A THIRD GAME.
Nah. I don't want to rag on the guy, but if you were to rewatch, he didn't do much in terms of speaking or comedy. He only had one joke and it was the obvious one.
Plus, though it wasn't the worst, he had a slight stutter in the pre-recorded video. Of course it wasn't bad (they would just do another take) and it wasn't super serious, but its something to mention. Especially so since the immediate follow up to the direct (the pass over to the treehouse initial stage) had a pretty bad stutter at the end.
I won't judge character, but I think he needs some more PR training. More infliction in his voice and preventing said stutters. He'll improve with time, so I'm looking forward to it.
One of the greatest games of the generation. It deserves to be played by every single person it can. Although, I am seriously interested if the DLC will come out same day on Xbox and Switch or will it take just a bit more. Either way, buy the game, or at least try it. Well worth your time and money.
Honestly, that's understandable. I would always love for more games, but Bethesda hasn't been petering out on us unlike some other developers. With Young Blood's surprise announcement, you could expect more, just that Rage 2 isn't one of them.
Although, I do want a port of DOOM BFG edition. Doom 3 isn't the best game, but why not have it along with Doom and Doom 2 to have every single Doom on the Switch? (Doom 64 anyone?)
Yep, people shouldn't sleep on Unravel 2. It isn't DKTF levels of platforming, but it is a better co-op platformer than it imo and has fun gimmicks and stages. It's surrounded by giants (Donkey Kong, Shovel Knight, Rayman Legends, and hell even Yoshi) but I recommend people to pick it up.
Oh no way! That cancellation was absolutely brutal, I was incredibly sad to even the degree where I never bought a xbox one. If it were to come to Switch instead... I would say that Platinum is my favorite developer outside of Nintendo.
Though this is great, I still kinda hope that last rumor about a cancelled game is still true but for another project. Mainly because Metroid Dread I needs it.
@Ogbert I didn't even consoder that. If it started in July, that would basically be a school calendar.
Not sure why I'm complaining about usability though. Out of the three special editions Ive bought for the Switch (Zelda, Xenoblade2, & Fire Emblem Warriors), the only thing Ive used is the shiekah slate case.
What I really need is a Fire Emblem stress ball. These games make me so anxious 😓
I don't particularly like special editions. Its a bunch of plastic tat that takes up space. However... the marketing always makes me compelled to buy them. And yet, I can never get the ones I want (damn you Samus Returns European edition!)
Although, why would anyone actually use this calendar? It looks small and dark.
@dimi Still waiting for the Persona event in March. Ngl, if they announced Persona 5 here, though it's such a good game, it would be eaten up by the sheer number of RPG's haha
A perfect world would be Dragon Quest XII in September, Persona 5 in November, and Shin Megami Tensei V in January or February. That way, they don't steal the limelight from each other (and also gives me time to actually finish them)
Also, Persona 4 Golden would be the best surprise announcement for May. I NEED IT
My socks did not need to be blown off, I already thought this year was great before the direct. BUT holy crap did they really fill out the first half! Summer 2019 with Mario Maker 2 AND Fire Emblem is incredible, and we are also getting Bloodstained and senuas Sacrifice.
I can't even lie, if you are dissappointed, you are hard to please. The only games they could've filled the first half of the year with is more ports. Kingdom Hearts and Prime Trilogy made zero sense to release so soon.
Although, I definitely wouldve liked to see SNES games online, but Tetris 99 is at least a little better of an incentive.
If they don't do SMP DLC at this point, they'd be crazy. Great game, but I've done it all too many times already, I need more to come back after a month absence. Doesn't even need to be free tbh
When the question comes up if this game is better than Mario Kart, I will forever always say, "who cares?" Because it isn't the comparative quality that matters, but the minuscule differences and quirks that make it the unique game it is.
@Marios-love-child Same. DLC didnt feel worth it on Wii U, and lo and behold, my waiting paid off. A whole new third of the game and portability to my friends house cemented its worth. Battle mode was definitely not a valuable addition on its own so Im happy I waited.
@Paraka I still disagree. A game like ARMS was not particularly funded by Mario Kart 8, but the team (and most definitely Nintendo) decided that porting Mario Kart 8 would be the first priority. It allowed them to get used to the hardware.
Now, compare that to Metroid. Other M was an outsourced team. Federation Force was Next Level. Samus Returns was an outsourced team. There is no growth of developers there and each game should not influence the next, especially when two of those weren't very good and would only hurt interest, not garner it.
Back to Mario U Deluxe. Nintendo EPD (though they never completely specified) was likely the brunt of the development force, which already made a brand new game for the platform, Super Mario Odyssey. And they developed Sushi Striker and Arms and Labo along with BOTW. There's too many factors to see if the capital actually helps out greenlight new projects. In the most likely scenario, it just helps give more capital to the company as a whole, so I guess it could factor in if you went through about ninety hoops.
If I am being fair, I do like your argument if it was a branch like Nintendo Software Technology. They ported Captain Toad to the Switch, which helps them get used to the technology, and gives them more credence to develop other titles. Maybe they'll finally make something that isn't Mario VS Donkey Kong lol
In the end, yes, I as a consumer am not forced to do anything. But I still want my purchasing decision to be solely the quality of the game. Everything besides that I'd rather not even be addressed as it should only be company knowledge, not PR.
@Paraka Except there's two clauses to that arguement. One: Game developers often don't tell you if you are funding for another game, with zero clarity you will never know. Pikmin 4 could easily be funded by this game, but what if they weren't funding it off this port and instead using Hey Pikmin as their actual gauge?
The second. Even if you do know what the money is going to, it often feels like a strong arm. Like how Travis Strikes Back is supposedly going to fund NMH future projects. Whether they enjoy the game or not plays no mind into it.
Even worse, with the second option, the promises are empty. If Samus Returns sells well, we will be funding more Metroid games! An eagle-eyed consumer will realize that "well" can mean literally anything. Sure, the two examples I use are brand new games, but it applies to ports just as well. "If Xenoverse 2 sells, we will consider FighterZ for Switch" even though the two have no connection except in brand.
That's probably the closest comparison to Kickstarters. A whole lot of empty promises with a few true to form examples.
@electrolite77 Fair enough. Sometimes I feel as if game developers are sticking to the past a bit much, so it makes me happy when rereleases lead to new content (see Mega Man 11).
Collections are definitely my prefered rereleases. Legacy content is nice, but if am only allowed to play one of the games (see Dark Souls Remastered), it illustrates a lack of extra effort. It doesnt allow new gamers much of anything except an easy way to gift money to the company.
This is where my dislike of NSMBUD stems from anyways. It' technically two games, but I'd rather waste my money on something with more effort and content.
@electrolite77 No offense, but isn't that second point a good thing? It means the industry is developing and evolving instead of stagnating. New games trump old games in my book, even if I do enjoy a remaster/remake here and there.
Splatoon 2's about to be dethroned. Smash is king baby.
I know it kindof sounds expected at this point, but I am amazed Smash is actually beating the Mario juggernauts. What was the last Smash game to outsell Mario Kart? Melee to Double Dash right?
Not particularly special to my tastes, but I am sure to show off this bad boy to my more casual of friends. Its just the game feels so much like Injustice and Killer Instinct now, both games I prefer over MKX
I honestly kinda like this, though I can see why people are going against it. Just a bit of spice of the unknown. I mean, it will give me an excuse to actually play these games, because recently for indies, I've only been buying the best of the best not giving a shot to the lesser known quantities. I guess it's just the demon of oversaturation.
What I do dislike though is that night trap is there. It just shouldn't honestly, the idea of it was fun, but it's definitively not a great game.
Probably the quietest week of 2018, nothing for me for sure. Honestly, even January I just will clear out the backlog. Travis doesnt look to break that (Looking at Kingdom Hearts with hearts in my eyes, but backlog includes the previous games, so there ya go).
They also had a Super Mario Kart reference two weeks ago. Wasn't as deep as this one, but did involve finally beating that one super good player after he had brain damage. Pretty accurate.
