As a platformer, the gameplay and level design are some of the best around 9/10. But I was really hoping for more QOL improvements. Seeing as this game has a lot of collectible items, something like a âRetry Levelâ or âRestart from Checkpointâ option could have gone a long way. Having to exit back out to the map, wait for a loading screen, re-enter the stage, then wait again for a loading screen can get a little frustrating for players who like to find everything. I guess losing a life intentionally is the closest thing, but at the cost of losing Diddy. Great game otherwise.
I can walk into a library and find books written over 100 years ago. I can download an ebook app and have access to old books and movies 40+ years old. No one is asking for old games to be a focus. People are just asking for a means of accessibility.
Donât get me wrong I think New Horizons is great. But hereâs why I choose New Leaf;
-More upgradable shops
-Kappân Multiplayer Island
-Fortune Cookies for Rare Nintendo Items
-Club âlolâ
-No waiting for town visits for shops
-Items didnât break
-Brewster out the box
-Complete Game from launch
Yes New Horizons has the QOL improvements, but New Leaf has the content and personality imo.
I want so bad to be wrong about this game. It seems really rushed, and the open world aspect doesnât seem to be handled well. I worry the game will feel empty, objects randomly placed, story forced etc. But weâll see.
I was a little late honestly. I actually didnât know about Samus until Smash 64. Same for Ness. Though I had a SNES early on, my library was limited & I actually played Sega Genesis mainly until N64.
I really hope this is an implication of a revised service for future hardware. Itâll be a shame if this turns out to be just a âweâre moving onâ from Nintendo.
The rewind feature on NSO made the difficult parts less of a headache. It allowed me do things like; Try different decisions, scan enemies without costing a turn, and get free hints. I didnât over use it, but it came in handy if you didnât want to start all the way over after wiping out.
I agree 100%. Thereâs no reason they canât provide a consistent release schedule, especially when people are paying. Weâre talking about retro systems with libraries of 1000+ games
I hear this, but my issue (specifically with Nintendo) is they have already shown on Numerous occasions what theyâre capable of doing. You could feel the ambition put into their games, you could see the bold attempts for innovation. It seems like when they got to the switch, the perfect system to handle everything theyâve wanted to do years prior, they backed off. Yes they have some cool features, but you can see theyâve clearly chosen the âsafeâ route this time around.
As much as I appreciate 3D Pokemon games. I've come to realize there's still beauty in the 2D style, and 3D doesn't always mean "Upgrade." I'd love to play another 2D Pokemon game.

Re: Review: EarthBound - A Quirky, Cosmic Adventure Bound To Warm Your Heart
