Better late than never? I’ve really been enjoying the game on my Switch 2 and honestly haven’t really been bothered by any of the bugs. I’m not the most discerning gamer though.
Fun article. Have been enjoying watching speedrun commentary videos the last couple years, especially Mario, Metroid, and Zelda ones. Definitely high-level nerdery at its finest.
I’m old and grew up with them and love them dearly. Play them on Switch 2 through NSO. Have the nes NSO controllers but rarely use them due to laziness.
Been playing Double Dragon games since the 80s and have been very appreciative of Arc Systems handling of the property, have bought almost all their DD/River City games, but visually, this does not excite me at all. I don’t really like the look. Reserving final judgment and will definitely give it every chance to be good!
I hate hearing this. Nintendo can basically print money at will these days and the terrible greedy standard corporate culture it of course inhabits still insists on cutting and outsourcing American jobs. Boo!
Ghosts and Goblins has been one of my favorite series since childhood. I’ve always bought all the games and they have always kicked my ass and left me feeling humble. I will definitely be resurrecting this one during Halloween season. Thanks for the article.
Does anyone know if the new Ninja Gaiden will be available to play on switch 2? I’m a little confused by how many games just had listed being playable on switch 1?
I love it. It’s amazing. I think some thoughtful dedicated updates, based on player feedback, will make it even better. Just like MK8 was for Switch 1, will likely be my favorite game for the new Switch.
Looks great. Love the art style. Someone above commented on burning out on these kind of games, which I totally get, but they are very hard to resist for an old 80s 90s gamer like myself.
