I am having a blast playing this game.... a bit late to the party and I avoided it due to the bad reputation. It is a great Pokemon game that you kind of decide how you'd like to play as you go!
Tech issues do not take away from that, this is a VIDEO GAME, not reality folks... and very fun!
@Lizuka @Lizuka ok thank you.... I will miss all of them by the time these are wrapped up. I did find some codes for previous obtainable pokemon but they were al expired. I am a bit late to the party and really take my time through pokemon main games.
A collection would be perfect for Switch - catch us all up to VF5 (I have a couple versions on Series X). Then blow our minds with VF6 on next gen Switch!
.
So many games to play as is.... very high quality and exciting games and I will enjoy Switch and what I have (still!) on 3DS.... I may just skip the next gen and maybe even the one after just to enjoy what I have already.
I like Super Monkey Ball since it launched with GC.
HOWEVER.... a major upgrade with these games is the bananas'.. Instead of extra lives for 100 every time you grab a 'nanner, it should boost 3 or 5 seconds to the time. I hate the rushy feel. It is frustrating and adding time would help you keep going but stay focused. It is hard enough as it is and would be WAY more enjoyable, this way.
I never beat the 2 GC games, but still put them in from time to time and rage quit after a couple game sessions.
it is more like BOTW/TOTK should and COULD have been a new IP.?
yes LoZ did need an overhaul, but not to the point of losing its' spirit. Which actually started with the experimental DS games.
Time for Aunoma to move on, imo... new fresh take and blood on ALL eras of Zelda to work from. He has way too many hangups and it quite disconnected and arrogant (again, my opinion) is 'his' direction for these games.
Way too much control for someone carrying resentments and baggage that causes an over-correction on Aunona's part, over and over again.
For the poll, I voted Star Tropics. I think there is some gold in them hills. Maybe Golden Sun IP would work for this too?
I could THANK Nintendo and Retro FOREVER for sticking to their promise and putting this on SWITCH!!
They have the entire history of SWITCH backing this game, it is to be the most optimized version of any SWITCH game, ever possible. Not a half baked "new switch" game where they barely know the hardware.
SWITCH's long life cycle is THE standard for consoles moving forward.
Ibought me Series X last year (impulse uy over FOMO) and the thing just has the same indie retro styled games as SWITCH but without Nintendo.
Nintendo -by extending the SWITCH life is the GOAT. That is proper customer care and proper value out of a console that we can actually have some time to play this massive library of incredible games. Golden era of Nintendo most definitely returned with this generation. I will love it forever. Going out on top, and as the top selling console of all-time (by then it will be!) it is incredibly well-deserved. And thank goodness they did NOT do a stupid Switch Pro half way through and stuck to their long cycle plan. What a valueble generation it is.
I have 100 hours in Rise as well. I love how fast the movement is. I think I'll dip into both MHGU and World on sale. Sunbreak looks too hard for me to enjoy.
Edit: just grabbed both, physical for $20 total!
Cheers and thanks!
That's awesome. I will certainly wishlist MHG and I really liked that game. I came around (single player) with MH4U and Generations was my favorite until Rise. Thanks for your words.
I do like this game, but it was only a few days worth of focused play for me.
I think it is fairly ugly on the big screen (even with graphic adjustments), and text for the cards too small for handheld, which is awful to have to use the poor zoom function.
I like deck games and I like rogues ... it'll be occasional play for me, but that is at best.
Was hoping for more. I think as the year goes on it'll go from GOTY to largely overhyped. Glad folks are enjoying it, but 10/10 and all this and that wreaks of 'shiny new toy'.
This version is much more balanced... tons less luck, lots better explanations, snappier, brighter, more character overall. The 3D upgrade looks awesome on OLED and imo almost like a sequel over the 3DS version.

Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Almost Had A Different Name
Or Tears of Boredom and choretime..... if you ask me!
Echoes of Wisdom looks like a nice course correction to me.
I wish Aunoma would move on and bring in some talent in charge of LoZ going forward (and back some too)!!!
Anyone else with me on this?

Re: Video: Marvel vs. Capcom: Fighting Collection Spotlights Two More Games
Still a long wait for physical :/ for no proper reason. I will hold out though, I can't afford to buy it twice on the same console!!

Re: Incineroar Stars In The Latest Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Tera Raid Event
I am new to this game.... (well 30 hours in) and this is the first one of the raid events... How do I find where this is in the game?
Re: Nintendo Indie World & Partner Direct Announced For Tomorrow, August 27th 2024
40 minutes long too.... wow, so much in the pipeline still for Switch!!
Turned out to be a total 180 turnaround from horrid Wii U days that is for sure!!
I was quite skeptical for the first couple years but Switch has more than won me over.
Re: Review: Immortals Fenyx Rising (Switch) - An Off-Brand Breath Of The Wild That's Still Worth A Look

Re: Review: Metroid: Other M (Wii)
This game is vastly underrated!
Re: Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Switch Series On Sale For A "Limited Time"
@Ace-Lucario
GBA copies of these are preferred because of things like text size are made for the small screen, not a large hdtv's.
Thee remasters are still too expensive.
Re: Poll: Are You Ready To Move On From The Switch?
Nowhere near ready!!
So many games to play as is.... very high quality and exciting games and I will enjoy Switch and what I have (still!) on 3DS.... I may just skip the next gen and maybe even the one after just to enjoy what I have already.
Re: Reminder: SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos Is Now Available For Switch
@Ryu_Niiyama
Thank you, I would suspect since it essentially a re-releases (not HD remaster, etc) that it probably won't have physical version.
SNK has sales, I will hold off on the download, I agree that price is too high for a download.
Re: Reminder: SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos Is Now Available For Switch
Was this game released on any home consoles before? That would have been PS2, Dreamcast, GC, Xbox era right?
I am waiting on reviews for Switch, and possibly sale if doing just a download.
Looks awesome though!
Re: SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos Announced For Nintendo Switch
What are the buttons?
MvC style or street fighter (3 button type)?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (20th July)
Once again this weekend, still playing the gem of SWITCH
And that is GRID!!! Freaking great racing on Switch.
Quake! (anyone can tell which DOOM -or DOOM/Quake style game I should grab next! What is best of the best on Switch?)
Mario Galaxy (Switch with pro Controller)
Virtua Fighter 5 with fightstick
Street Fighter (various;30th collection, SF4, SF6 across Switch and Series X and 360 also with fightstick)
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (13th July)
GRID Autosport : Such an underrated gem on Switch!
Virtua Fighter 5 : (with new fightstick) on Series X.
Super Smash Bros 3DS : Smash Run is the underdog of this entire franchise!
Re: Talking Point: The Switch eShop Could Be Great With These Few Tweaks
USER RATINGS ON GAMES!!
Re: TMNT: Mutants Unleashed Comes Out Of Its Shell This October
The turtles must be a very tricky brand it seems. We all have our own wants and interpretation of what is cool.
I do not like how weak and uncool these character look. Enough for a pass most likely.
Re: Marvel Really Excited About Capcom's New MvC Fighting Game Collection
Such a beautiful thing.... I can not wait for this!!!
Highest game anticipation the entire generation, at least.
Re: Video: 10 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In July 2024

Must be August, right?
Re: Talking Point: Is Shovel Knight Now A Retro Gaming Icon?
nah.... boring collage type character.
More like Shovel Hype.
Re: Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Switch Physical Won't Require A Download
I can't wait for this!! I have a feeling it will be coming soon, like maybe July? I'll pre-order physical asap!!

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
I chose Japan - more accurate to the actual game with those add-on characters.
I didn't finish or really enjoy this game much.

Any chance they will patch in some actual music?
I cant believe they would squander the sound like that.
Wish I didn't buy it now!
Re: Talking Point: Will Nintendo Wring One More Holiday From Switch Before Revealing New Hardware?
@Lofoten
True! I am open-minded on all things Nintendo. Should be a fun ride even if just watching from the sidelines for a bit.
Re: Talking Point: Will Nintendo Wring One More Holiday From Switch Before Revealing New Hardware?
Holiday 2024 will first and final price drop and bundle deals.
A celebration of ALL games of the generation and pushing the huge library of games from all eras.
Maybe 1 or 2 token new releases, likely remasters or DX versions. No metroid, pokemon ....but just maybe the HD Zeldas, and FZero GX.
Hmm...
I just need time to play some before the next Switch drops.
In fact, I'll wait a year or or or for the first revision before buying one anyway.
Re: Best Pikmin Games
The first Pikmin on GC (not switch remaster) is vastly underrated!
All-time true gem of a game, concept and unique vibe!

Re: Best Monster Hunter Games, Ranked - Switch And Nintendo Systems
@Dm9982
Sounds fun, you're inspiring me and I'm going to jump back in.
I also have XB Series X, should I go back to last gen and go for World instead of MHGU on Switch?
Re: Best Monster Hunter Games, Ranked - Switch And Nintendo Systems

That would be a game changer for me.

I've been dual blades since day 1. Bow sounds fun though to hang back a little and snipe!
Re: Best Monster Hunter Games, Ranked - Switch And Nintendo Systems

That's awesome. I will certainly wishlist MHG and I really liked that game. I came around (single player) with MH4U and Generations was my favorite until Rise.

Did/do you play generations on 3DS or Switch? Or if both, which preferred?
Have 100 hours on 3DS myself, but not sure if I should Switch it.
