Re: Nintendo Switch Nindies Showcase Summer 2018 Announced For 28th August

Wishlist for this Direct:
Graveyard Keeper announcement
Wargroove (and anything else Chucklefish)
Dragon Marked for Death (and anything else Inti Creates)
Shovel Knight: King of Cards
Stardew Valley multiplayer update
Rivals of Aether
Roof Rage
My Time at Portia
Towerfall Ascension
A Hat in Time

And I'm sure there are some I'm forgetting. Also, some completely unrealistic additions: Braid, The Witness, and Cuphead.

Re: Motion Twin Apologises For Frame Rate Drops In Switch Version Of Dead Cells

I’ve noticed the occasional skips/jumps/framedrops that others have mentioned here, but they’ve been few and far between, and they haven't really hindered my gameplay at all.

And of course, it’s great that the devs have acknowledged this and will work to patch it, but for me, this is not a big enough issue to be all over the devs and reviewers about it.

Re: Site News: We Want Your Help To Become Even Better

One thing that is probably pretty insignificant, but I liked the old style of the Nintendo Download news articles. Each game had a little personal blurb and they always said something like “We’ll dive in for a review and see how it holds up” or something like that. It’s pretty inconsequential, but that little personal touch made it really feel like each new game was getting proper attention from the staff. These days the blurbs for each game just seem to be the press writeup made by the game’s producer.

Another thing that would be cool is more game reviews. I know there are a ton of games coming out and it’s probably impossible to keep up with all of them, but my OCD is really craving a complete Nintendo review database, haha. Realistically, it would be nice to try to capture at least a few more games per week, and/or go back and try to fill in the gaps with some older gems that were never reviewed. For example, some first-party games from the Wii era like Mario Party 8 and Big Brain Academy never got reviews, and while some might find it weird to see reviews for them popping up much later out of the blue, the completionist in me would love it! Maybe as part of some occasional retro review series or something.

Anyway, I wouldn’t say my critiques are anything major. I’m sure there are more pressing issues to be dealt with, but I just wanted to share my two cents. Overall this site is great, and I’ll continue reading and supporting no matter what! Looking forward to whatever comes next!

Re: Indie Crossover Fighter Blade Strangers Secures An August Release Date On Switch

klingki

This is not a day-1 buy for me yet, but I’m keeping a close eye on it. Back in the day, I used to have all the Mortal Kombat moves and stuff memorized (and I still wasn’t very good, haha), but these days there’s not enough space left in the ol’ noggin for useless information, so I’m liking their control scheme for this game. Games like this, Smash, and Roof Rage (when it comes out) sound great - easy to pick up and play, but with enough depth that you can really master your chosen fighters. I look forward to the reviews on this to see what the general consensus is.

Re: Soapbox: What Happened To All The Great Baseball Games On Nintendo Consoles?

klingki

@BulbasaurusRex They did, but plummeted all the way to a 70-92 record last season due to a ridiculous rash of injuries, horrible management of said injuries, and a general unwillingness to spend money to improve the team despite residing in the New York market.

I hate to say it, but your Cardinals are a pretty good example of how to run a baseball team well.

Re: Zelda: Breath of the Wild's 'Champions' amiibo Get a Release Date

klingki

I've had way better luck getting amiibo off of Amazon Japan than anywhere else. In fact, I think the 4 champion amiibo are still available for preorder there, and I preordered them a few weeks ago. If you are able to set up an account there and get the international shipping option to work, no scalpers in your future! Unfortunately for me, I did not know about this sooner and just had to buy the original 5 BOTW amiibo and the 5 Zelda Smash amiibo for crazy prices. Get them early while they are still at MSRP!
