Re: Nintendo Reports Rapid Growth For Metroid, Xenoblade Chronicles, And More

Is it just me or is this chart really confusing? The size of the bars don't correlate to the numbers they're supposed to represent. I guess we're not meant to compare across franchises, but still. (I also got no sleep last night, so I could just be a dummy today.)

Anyway, they're all great franchises! Can't vouch for Pikmin bc I've never played one, the but the others are stellar. Glad to see they're doing well.

Normally I wait for reviews, but got bored and bought it on launch (only $20, so figured why not). I'd been waiting for this game, as it looked like a perfect cross-section of what I usually like. I wasn't wrong!

I don't know if it's just me but the game feels pretty sluggish when there's a lot on the screen in docked mode, but it hasn't really affected my enjoyment or made the game more difficult. Difficulty-wise, some platforming sections and boss battles remind me of Hollow Knight; they can be a challenge, but they're manageable with some practice. I don't consider myself a super-skilled gamer and I'm coming along just fine.

Overall, 8/10 feels really solid to me. It's a great game!
