The controls need massive tweaking. The drift is by far the best way to win races, however not necessarily true when doing challenges. Also I noticed sometimes i'm trying to simply hop or move slightly to one side it'll shoot my items. It is fun, and I like it. I'm plowing through the tours to unlock additional features but clearly needs some fine tuning.
I'm about as excited as the second boss in this trailer chewing gum on the verge of yawning lol. Other than looking HD, it looks like a phone game. I think I played the first one and that's it.
This was an ok game. Felt kinda like tic tac toe, when you had the upper hand you had it. I stopped trusting Star Wars mobile games because of how often they get killed off. The same thing happened to Mabinogi Duels and that was awesome.
We had a metric ton of RPG dumped into our laps. I especially like the Collection of Mana (Nintendos site has the physical copy link, hint maybe?) however I do share this massive excitement for the Bear and Bird duo...THEY'RE BACK! Even if it is just a fighter i'm glad to have them back on Nintendo, balanced...like it should be.
OH...EM...GEE! WOOOOOT! I can't wait, I missed K.I.T.T. but I did manage to get the DeLorean around the same time Ready Player One came out. Ecto1 is a day one buy for me, might even grind this event.
I thought it was a little silly for a Legendary to have to hold an item to be the Pokemon it is. I mean the shield one is built on but this guy could lose the sword and stop being a Pokemon. Then again, Alakazam or whatevs has spoons, Cubone has a skull and that scop of Vanilla ice cream has a cone so clearly it follows the Pokemon line of Logic.
I think if a game is going to be long online co op is a must so I can play and progress with friends. Like Diablo 3. Yo talking about these games Gauntlet would be great on the switch the old and the new one.
Ain't gonna lie, I have a special place in my heart for Icewind Dale. I remember loading that into my trash PC and hearing the music, the sounds and I could swear I was there fighting the elements and dangers of the regions. I'M GOING BACK!
I for one am super stoked about it. I'm back on my 3DS breeding them with my OT name from the 3DS and ready to put'em up in my new..."Home". Feeling good about that pun
This is gonna be great. It was super fun, I don't think it was double dip fun. The new film notoriety is probably what is driving fans back to it. Only way I would get it is if it had multiplayer online for like some sort of mode against waves of ghosts or something different than the original other than the aesthetics.
I'm skipping all of those. I'll be getting Wolfenstein Youngblood deluxe to be able to play with my other switches at home. Animal Crossing and Pokemon for the end of the year.
@GamePerson19 I mean from that flow chart it does show Nintendo 3DS and Pokemon Bank, so i'm thinking you'll have a way to sent your Pokemon directly from the digital game or cartridge to Home without having to buy or renew your Pokemon Bank. Who knows, pokemon bank may simply become Home. gotta wait and see.
Nintendo 3DS is on that list which makes me think that if you took your Pokemon out of the bank and and kept it on cartridge you can go straight to Home with them rather than paying both subscriptions.
@KIRO Let's Go Pikachu or Let's Go Eevee. It is a really good introduction. The game is a revamp of the first game while also kind of a re imagining since it is much easier than the original. So definitely a good gateway title to the world of Pokemon.
@Realness I stopped buying TinyBig games when they told Switch owners to buy Mr. Shifty on a platform that has better framerates if the lag issues are a problem, I can only imagine if all my progress went down the toilet. Make sure you don't cloud save the corrupted save, maybe even restore your cloud save.
Although a flat fee for a complete game is also ideal for myself, the reality is that the majority have spoken. Super Mario Run did not do well however, the counterparts like FEH, Dragalia and AC Pocket Camp have done very well due to having a F2P and micro transactions business model.
I won't lie despite me not liking the design, the trailer was interesting and I was looking super forward to November to see it. I'm happy they listened to criticism and that the artist have more time but I wanted to see it in November. Either way i'll watch it. I will say this though all things aside, they really did need test groups who have grown up playing games...SPECIFICALLY Sonic games old and new.
If I had to pick an MMO to some to Switch, i'd pick Mabinogi. Granted I would mighty upset if it wasn't cross progress, I want my character on Switch. Too many hours and money to start again.
If I was already in the market for one of these and the price was the same as the rest I would totally. Shoot I'm not in the market and that star is looking mighty fine, but again it would have to be the same price as the regular. I'm not gonna pay extra.
I would like true multiplayer, I mean Dragalia Lost is real multiplayer. I don't see why this couldn't be accurately made multiplayer. That may be a deal breaker for me. I mean Super Mario Run was fine, whatever, but this is a game that thrived on being multiplayer and now it's not. Let's make a zelda game where there's no fighting or quest just cooking while we're at it. Alright i'm done venting.
@Mr_Pepperami Don't think i've ever run into someone who has seen Rubber, which is pretty cool. I imagine you've seen Beyond The Black Rainbow? Comparing it to 2001 by Stanley Kubrick is setting it up for failure, however it is its own thing and definitely an interesting watch.
@Mr_Pepperami You're probably right but to be honest with you I tend to be open minded with movies. For example I did like the all female cast Ghostbuster movie, it was funny, modern and the story was original and not a re-wrap of prior films. I also once saw a movie about a sentient spare tire (Rubber is the name if you interested). Pretty weird but entertaining.
I appreciate the Pokemon Go articles here. This is my go to all day every day so it's nice to have topics i'm interested in. I think there's a good fan base here for Pokemon Go in general. I made a post about Friend Codes for the game and it's still blowing up. I just needed some Aussie friends for distance trades lol.
I'm not desperate for voice chat in Fortnite while playing on the TV. Because let's face it, it is the only game we can voice chat. Nintendo games have almost zero appeal since it all goes through specific modes in each game. Just make it automatically chat available through app Nintendo.
Not a fan, I would much rather prefer the Original Gameboy and also that shape just doesn't look right on a watch. I mean I get it the other way would limit mobility but this way looks bad.
@WhiteTrashGuy The character alone is 2000 v-bucks. Now there's a pickaxe that'll set you back 500, 2 emotes for 200 each and a wrap for 300. 3200 V-bucks for all the purchased items. There are freebies in the challenge but it ain't no skin brah.
2D Animation will never die. Don't get me wrong I love me these 3D renderings and I actually don't want a Detective Pikachu sequel. I would rather have a Mewtwo Origin. Where our evil protagonist is made, then he manipulates people into coming up with Gyms, the Elite 4 and when he has enough info on the strongest trainers and Pokemon he invites them to his a secret competition to steal there powers. Basically mashing up Gen 1 and the first pokemon movie with an end credit scene showing Detective Goodman finding him and asking for help to uncover Ryme city mystery.
I liked PUBG because at the time I had no access to Fortnite. When I played Fortnite I realized how broken PUBG is. Only thing they had was more grass and the prone position but Fortnite was cross progress, cross play and just had more content. Rough at first since you suck but just play 1 season and you'll be fine.
@jbreez00 I think we had Golden Sun 1 and 2 then like a version in the future, a 3.5 if you will. But not actual 3. It would be awesome to get a collection.
At first I thought it was a gimmick to make this sprite game for nostalgia sake only. I played the first demo and realized yo this is great. I almost wish we got Golden Sun in this style or an MMO like this on the Switch. Anyway I picked it up but can't play until after I get my Switch back from Nintendo.
So I called Nintendo here from the US and I initially just asked to purchase some back plates. Obviously they don't sell it because they don't want people opening these devices, she asked some questions and said to send it in. I have a trip to go on so not this week but I will be sending it in next week 07/12.
Actually now that I'm really looking at the plastic, yes it has a crack but it's not a chip just a slight crack. Not sure if the other one has that. It is upsetting, I guess I'll call Nintendo and see what the big N has to say. I have to admit though, it looks like the backplate is 4 screws and 1 piece of plastic. I may just try to buy the parts. I'll keep you posted.
@HobbitGamer True, so the eShop should be censored about as much as a PG-13 movies trailers. Because rated R film trailers can be crazy. Anyone catch Deadpool 2 and that Happytown murders redband trailer? It was more explicit than the film I went to watch lol.
I have two Switches and the only issue we've had has been the left joy con stops locking on both consoles and a battery issue on 1 of them. Other than that, nothing else. Not all final products seem to have been cut from the same cloth it would seem.
