Game can softlock at 90% completion and the only way out is to restart the entire game. Still not patched almost a year after release, absolutely awful.

Even a 4 sounds like a generous rating here.

I put way too many hours into Vampire Survivors so I'm glad I played the trial, this didn't do anything for me. I feel like VS did the sensorary overload stuff much better because I found the sound effects and music in this to be really muted and not enjoyable enough.

Worse, it hasn't been on sale since September 2023. It's one of those games that used to always be on sale for 75% off and I kept saying "maybe next time, I've got other games to play". And now there is no next time and I'm going to pass on getting it.

@Citrus_Architect

If they wanted to make a Peanuts game that sounded like Peanuts they could... pay up for the rights to do that. They decided to cheap out, copy it and hope that nobody noticed, and sure enough somebody noticed and they predictably are getting sued for it.

@AlleyCat

Yeah, but it claims that they were "fully aware" of the hitbox issues and released the game anyways, it's not their first priority for bug fixes, plus they don't say that they're actually going to fix it, just that they "will evaluate how to mitigate those issues as soon as as possible"

This went from "somewhat interesting" to "I'll set an alert for a 70% off or more sale and check back in a year", there's no real excuse for releasing a game like this with such a big problem.

Should be "it's" not "its" in the headline, sloppy editing.

6 sounds too high given those cons. Sounds like it would be very frustrating to play.

It is cruel to post that Animal Crossing screenshot without also posting the codes for the patterns.

This was on my wishlist but looking at it every other version got a 50/75% off sale and the Switch version never got any discount. That explains why I still haven’t bought it and probably won’t even with the delisting.

@HalBailman

There's some challenges where you have to face Waluigi who has a ghost racket and they were the most frustrating part of the game for me. It's probably good that they made it less effective.

@Res462

I was surprised that wasn't a talking point in the NL review of the game. I didn't mind it in the Adventure mode but having to play tournament matches without being able to turn off its non-stop running commentary was brutal. I won each tournament once and then abandoned the mode and just played freeplay matches. I just couldn't stand having to listen to it and don't understand why I can't turn it off in that mode.

This went from "maybe I'll take a look" to "I will buy it ASAP" for me. Great to hear.

@TheBoilerman

It was used for a 1976 Clue-style comedic mystery movie that starred Truman Capote, Alec Guinness, Peter Sellers, David Niven, Peter Falk, and Elsa Lanchester.

@KayFiOS

I was going to say that this stuff is firmly priced in the "wait for a sale" range, except looking at dekudeals Hamster's games rarely actually go on sale. I might wishlist a few but it's unlikely that I'll ever actually buy any.

The gameplay seemed great but I found the voice acting to be unbearable and I can't imagine wanting to listen to their chatter for hours.

@Samalik

Cyberpunk released a censored version where they needed to, Adhoc decided to release a censored version everywhere, then went into damage control when they got heat for this decision / not mentioning this until after the preorders were paid for. They're absolutely not suing over problems created by their own decisions.

@cedarhyped

AdHoc absolutely had more than ample time to warn gamers that the Switch version would be different before they preordered the game, and Nintendo can't be happy about the number of people who've been going into support chats asking for a refund because they (reasonably) didn't expect any changes to be made.

The code in a box version of 2K25 was on sale this week at a deep discount and I couldn't be bothered to buy it because after you added up all the DLC it still worked out to be more expensive than any other game on the Switch 2, and it's going to be out of date in less than two months. It's just a terrible value even when the base game is marked down to practically nothing.

Darkwing Duck on the Switch? He is the terror that flaps in the night! He is the unpatched bug that corrupts the save file in a game you've 95% completed! Let's get dangerous!

@Athropos

Version 3.0 is free

There's also a free Switch 2 upgrade that only improves resolution in handheld mode.

The full Switch 2 upgrade is $5 and adds better graphics in docked mode, mouse controls, a megaphone, bigger online multiplayer, and camera/gamechat features.

@SynapticFlow

you earn 60 points per week for backing up save data to any switch game and playing a game that goes online (not a NES/SNES/etc game, but anything else)

You can also earn points for missions (for example right now you'll get 50 points for playing Metroid II and 50 for Metroid Zero Mission, 100 each for New Horizons or Pokemon Legends Z-A) and other things like that.

@canaryfarmer

Their website's graphic showed the discount as 42%, not 75%, and the sale got taken down within a few hours of it being up. I was lucky enough to get it in time.

@notreallyhere

I thought it was okay but kept waiting for a sale / price that never came. People complain about first-party Nintendo games never going on sale but Mario Wonder has had better and more frequent sales than Ultimate Alliance.

I have a Tomtoc slim case and it's the only Switch 2 purchase that I regret. It's too big so the Switch 2 is loose in the case, there's no strap to keep it in place when it's unzipped, and my games tend to slide out of their spots.

I bought it because it got a lot of hype and I liked the color, but it stained easily, it's not waterproof, and I really probably should've gotten a cheaper basic case and used the extra money on a cheap indie game.
