Well, I hope at least joy cons will be still drifting

@StuartGipp thanks for your answer, we played together with my girlfriend and we found it's pretty challenging to even get silver badges at some stages. And we beat Cuphead and Overcooked 2 together, so it's probably not about us being bad at that kind of games. So that's why I was really surprised to see you found it quite easy.

I didn't mean to go offensive either and I'm sorry if I did. Take care!

@Damo what kind of evidence do you expect me to possibly have? Am I sure he didn't play enough to write a review? No, I'm not. But the conclusions he made make me think he might've missed something I didn't miss and one the reasons for that is not enough of time spent with a game.

Another thing is screenshots - he just posted one screenshot with a world map and two screenshots of the same stage (one of the first btw) which is also kinda weird, because even during the first hour there were more interesting and visually appealing stages. Why post two screenshots of the same one? Well, the answer is the same - because maybe he just didn't bother to play the game for more than an hour.

Here's another thing: "Requires very little real co-operation". That's just not true and it's nothing to do with opinions. It requires a lot of cooperation, especially if you want to get at least a silver badge for the stage (another thing that he didn't even mention).

Honestly, going through all of this stuff right now, I'm starting to feel that it's it's more like a teaser or something, but not a review by any means.

@Damo he obviously has, but that's not my concern here. I was talking about the feeling, that he didn't invest enough time to write a solid review and therefore I personally feel that it turned out to be unfair and shallow as the result.

"There's no panic, no sense of frenetic madness, and games like this really need that to be memorable."
Did we play the same game? What about Farm level when you need to not only catch different animals but also preserve them in the track. You didn't feel any panic there or you just didn't bother reaching this stage at all (it's like 1.2 hours deep in the game).

It really feels like you played for an hour at max and maybe tried two-three stages. Very disappointing approach.

@mesome713 I would say that Boardwalk Empire is the Game of Thrones of crime series genre, but Peaky Blinders is good too.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons and In Other Waters

I'm just really curious if there are games that doesn't look "zelda inspired" or "zelda styled" to nintendolife staff members...

It's a really neat game. I've finished it on PC when it was released, but might give it another go on Switch.

"Interesting music choice there" - the guy who decided to use Gangsta's Paradise in Sonic trailer.

@Jayenkai I bet it's half Sonic and half Knuckles. And my boy definitely contributed with his rear part on this one.

@thesilverbrick @Kal_ @duffmmann okay guys, I should admit it - that does make sense to me.

@duffmmann Is that even a rule or it's just so happened that all characters at this moment originated from the video games?

@thesilverbrick well, this game doesn't make sense in general - that what's so special about it.

@thesilverbrick I see that, but do you really consider that to be enough? Does that mean that adding ToeJam & Earl would be okay with you? Just because they're entirely original video game characters?

@thesilverbrick I clearly don't see the pattern and logic in character selection you are referring to, but that's probably my problem. Though, the main reason we don't see Cookie Monster and Captain Crunch on the roster is a lack of legal rights, if you ask me.

@thesilverbrick ahem, isn't that exactly what Super Smash is about - combining different unfitting characters together? I mean, Kirby and Snake in the same game is ok, but having Spider-Man fighting against Yoshi is waaay too much for you?
