I really appreciate the amount of finishing they've done on this game after release. I played the previous version and it seemed like most complaints had already been addressed, although there were some areas where adjustments were still needed. Overall, it was a very strong first attempt in the genre, and I'm hoping to see a sequel with the lessons they learn.
Blast from the past. I forgot all about the envelope art, but as soon as I saw the first picture it came rushing back. That's awesome. A real lost art.
@Friendly The best practice is to have customer service located in the region they are supporting. This ensures the best communication and results in average higher satisfaction. However, it is not the cheapest option. Making a change like this hurts people who are already employed and creates ill-will toward a company. But it means the company makes more money.
Good review. It's pretty much how I feel about the game, playing it now. They made some tweaks to address common complaints like checkpoints. I'm having fun, so what more can you ask?
I've got my copy on Switch 1. I'm into it. The game is fun. It's not free from criticism, but it looks like a lot of original complaints like lack of checkpoints have been fixed. It runs perfectly on handheld. Docked, there is infrequently minor stuttering at some loading points, but not at all game breaking. I wish I could take advantage of the S2 resolution upgrade.
@HingryHuppo Of course, but they're in a league of their own. I don't expect other small times studios to come close to that level of quality or more importantly hype and success.
@RupeeClock The Glover re-release is said to be an absolute travesty made by one man who claimed he could do it when he could not. Bad textures, sounds, everything.
@LastFootnote Dozens of games are released each month, at least. It's not Team Cherry's responsibility to plan everyone's release dates. Nobody complains when a game shadow drops. The real lesson apparently is they should have been even less communicative.
@MrRom92 Chad Moldenhauer: "And of course, to have a chance to come full circle from our childhood inspiration of vintage cartoons and see Cuphead made into a rubber hose cartoon of its own is beyond words!"
@ShieldHero The image is very obviously traced. I think the only visible difference is how far up the green patch is on the neck, but the wings (and everything else) are exactly the same dimension at all lines. People who value creativity, especially artists, take pride in creating something. Not in copying. If you want to be an author you can take inspiration from as many things as you want, but I doubt you would copy and paste whole pages out of another book. Right?

Re: Preview: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Is Great, But I Want To Kill One Of Its Characters
I can't believe I almost responded to that bait comment.
Anyway, I will not buy this game if Jar Jar is there for more than a tutorial level.

Re: Pokémon TCG Pocket Announces "New And Updated" Features For First Anniversary
The meta gaming killed the experience for me. Can I beat the same two deck builds over and over? I guess. Is it fun? No.

@3VET You know what's crazy? This is actually something Nintendo would do.

Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Prices Are Live, And It's Sticker Shock Time
@Gamecuber Respectfully, if you already own both on Wii, why do you feel obligated to buy it again on a new system?

@RemyMartin lol
Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Prices Are Live, And It's Sticker Shock Time

Re: "I Can't Afford To Give It Away For Free" - Silksong's Low Price Is Causing Devs To Re-Evaluate Their Own Games
Don't people compare indie prices to AAA prices? I think these small developers are psyching themselves out by comparing themselves to Hollow Knight.
Re: Shadow Labyrinth Patch Version 1.0.4 Now Available, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
This game actually looks sick. There's a lot of big money behind these classic IPs and they turn out some sleeper hits.

Re: Opinion: Silksong's Big 'Anticlimactic' Premiere Was Absolutely Perfect
To me this is what a perfect release looks like. "We're working on it. See you when it's ready." You got it, boss.

It actually is wild to see people defending plagiarism when even the pokemon company didn't want it.

One day all your beloved characters will be voiced by pre-recorded lines stitched together with AI like James Earl Jones.
Anyway, shame Charles Martinet is no longer voicing Peach but I guess all things come to an end.
