I will never succumb to Fortnite’s capitalistic temptations!

@Kyloctopus great point. Most would undervalue it and not even give it a whirl I bet. I have friends who’ve already said so if it was packed in.

For me, it seems worth $10 from what I’ve seen and heard. We gotta remember too that switch sports was the only pack in game on any Nintendo console and that was only in the US bc Reggie Smash.

@Solid_Python true that sucks,,

@Solid_Python they’re also giving us Suikoden at least ))

Agree it should be a pack in. But also, at $10 I’m willing to give it a whirl. If it was $20+ I’d feel differently. It seems like a fun way to get familiar with the system. Nintendo has been and always will be about milking the consumer. It sucks but there’s not much to do about it except boycott. $60 for Luigi’s Mansion 2 and DK lackluster ports anyone….

I didn’t watch it yet, but the camera requirement makes sense,, it’s showing how all the features of the system work. If it didn’t have the camera, it’d be missing something that a lot of people will use and are excited for. I don’t have surround sound of 4k tv so I won’t be able to experience those bits but maybe one day I’ll upgrade my set up.

Taking the day off— going right to GameStop! No midnight release for me since it’s a mall location which I actually prefer so I can be wide awake for the first boot up, and just play all day! I’m also actually stoked for the camera so I can feel connected with my buds across the country (which I noticed was omitted from the accessories list!) can’t wait to play Mario kart and either cyberpunk or Suikoden…

As a middle aged man, I’m admittedly bummed to see so many aren’t interested in the feature. I guess I mainly just see the appeal in playing with my friends since I live so far away now,,, talking to strangers not as alluring. Hmph I hope enough people jump on board that I can put my camera to use !

Wow amazing review and seconded by first commenter here;) will need to check it out (if it’s not too long). Glad you brought this back to the light!

I already get hand pain from working on my computer all day,,, think I’ll be skipping this and any other mouse intensive games sadly:/

Probably not much difference between versions! But kinda glad I waited I guess!? Price not bad— feels like this is cheaper than the 1 version tho that can’t be right…

I’m feeling more and more compelled to join the dark side (digital) as much as it pains me! Tho I know it’s not all bad,, I’m sad to admit physical game collecting is coming to an end.

Streets of Rage 4 is one of my favorite games of this/last generation. Big fan of the originals but this one blew my expectations out of the water! So stoked Lizardcube is taking this one on as well. Best news.

If it was $40 maybe a 8 or 9 but the effort is just sad at $60

No more info or games until April!?!? No release date either!? Come onnnnn. At least it’s confirmed and looks beautiful:))

They should’ve at the least recognized the whole dev team if not listing out all the individual people. This is not cool.

Awesome ! I missed the frozen tour last year. Good excuse to get back into it. Love that they keep supporting this game.

Our long lost brother Jon just did a great video on this a couple weeks ago. It’s honestly insane that this sorts of crap is allowed to flood the eshop. They HAVE to fix this for Switch 2.

Ah that’s good to know! Yea there are just a lot of QOL adjustment they could/should make.

This is one of those series that should just have update dlc… they don’t seem to ever fix the issues that carry over game to game and just add slight variations and new bad musac. That all said it’s a pretty fun way to work out!

Would love to, but just like the rest of the series— too long for me ://

I wish I never put it down after it first came out! I just started really giving it a go this month and have been loving it so much.

This all got me to jump back in, after not really giving my much of a chance. It’s such a great, complete game now! Having a blast with it though wish there were more players….

@Not_Soos I agree completely! Might be bc I also exclusively game on switch on a 24” monitor or handheld as well…. Not an issue for me!

@the_beaver oh interesting so transferring to internal really made a difference??

I’m playing physical version and it really hasn’t been an issue for me…(tho frame rate in Links Awakening didn’t bother me at all either- I did notice it) so I wonder if physical version is even smoother?

Performance issues didn’t bother me in the slightest in Links Awakening so I don’t think I’ll be bothered here! 24hrs to go! Curious what they’re gonna be doing at the Nintendo store!

Nice idea. I’ve been using Duolingo and definitely need more inputs to further my learnings. Though taking a class would probably be best this looks like a fun way to pick up some more words at least!

I love British humor tho still imagine I won’t get the majority of the jokes— still buying!

Just checked it out last night and got hooked! Really compelling and unique. Not sure if I want to devote the 50 or so hours to conquer it tho, when I have Octopath 2, Advance Wars, Hallow Knight, Pikmin 4, Eiyuden Chronicles, Persona 5 that I still want to play before switch 2. And I still need to beat Paper Mario and Sea of Stars 😅

@Kang81 true maybe they don’t need the remake treatment heh. It’s awesome we’ll be able to play the full series on Switch now!

Also, at first I was bummed about the Jan date, then realized it makes total sense to drop early next year. Will be nice to help hold us over until Switch 2 drops likely in March??

Best expansion drop yet??

Koopathlon mode looks fantastically chaotic!

The animation was awesome! Like a cartoon. Definitely looking forward to checking it out. Will have to see if I can beat Zelda in time for launch day tho. Pretty great holiday sequence between Zelda in Sept, Mario Party in Oct and this in Nov!

Woulda loved a new entry or if a remake, a remake of Country 1 but will be cool to revisit this. Its been years and I do remember loving it

This looks so fun. Let Zelda cook!

Yes. WOW. Great direct considering the life of the switch and where we’re at. Thinking this will have to be a dual system release!!!

Awesome sounds great!! And glad to hear 1 and 2 are also coming! Never played any of them except XI so time to dive in!

@nessisonett this.

And yes representation matters. To all those who are questioning

First time playing, I freaking love it. Only in chapter 2 but if it keeps up like this it’s a definite 10/10 for me

Epic devotion! Really great work. I love this game so much

@rjejr nope I think you’re totally right. It’s totally weird.

I will never be ok with Fortnight. It’s the epitome of capitalism, uninspired conquest and unchecked corporate greed in video game form. And it sucks that so many people devote so much time to it , limiting their gaming experience instead of trying out any of the hundreds of other better options. And somehow Epic still lays off staff despite the millions it makes each month. How about spread that money to their other studios to keep them going instead….

@-wc- ah thanks for clarifying! I actually didn’t mean to say you were being anything other than that but when I went back and read the previous comments I noticed others were already discussing so get I should admit my lack of diligence haha

@-wc- ok I’m totally busted! I wrote my original comment before reading the comments :// thanks for still indulging! Haha

@-wc- right on! Glad you concur ha. But yea you make a good point for games like BOTW. Death can be very random and sudden in some games…..

@Bratwurst35 ah yea I hear that! It’s moreso that only being able to manually save adds a level of intensity to games that I like. And makes reaching a save point crucial. Especially for games like metroidvanias or survival horrors. Even prefer it in rpgs.

Am I the only one who still prefers manual saves?

@JohnnyWarbux growing up in that era myself. I truly appreciate this perspective! Of course it’s not great when publishers rush unfinished games, but in the bright side— they most always fix them.

Please no, don’t ever do it

Would not subscribe

At first I was thinking I’d definitely be changing them to Japanese or another language, but switched back to English and absolutely love them. A bit cheesy sure, but overall feel they add so much to the experience!
