Let's just have it in our minds that Capcom will most likely not announce anything for the Switch, even if our hearts wish otherwise. That way when they eventually don't announce a Switch title we won't be burnt.
This has tons of what looks like Adventure Time influence splattered all over... I like it Gameplay looks alright too from the brief snippets I can see.
Surprised that the video showing the Switch reveal wasn't added in the article. It's the 2nd character introduction video. Here: https://youtu.be/KGY-JDYidlY
Killer 7... yuuuuuuuuussssssss! Clunky as it is, I still fire it up every year or so (through the Wii) because it's just so damn great.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE: might want to pester either Platinum (Hideki Kamiya) or Capcom for that spinoff/sequel to Viewtiful Joe. On that segue, why not pester him about porting Okami over to the Switch too? The brush mechanics would fit well with the touchscreen.
Am looking forward to this... love music/rhythm games, though a demo would be more than welcome too just so we can have a taste of what to expect.
Also the comic style of storytelling for me hearkens back to the Osu Takaden Ouendan games, so here's hoping for some fun storytelling with exaggerated expressions.
@Ralek85 If you have one yourself, sounds like the perfect opportunity to go around with friends and to play with them on the go, as the article puts it somewhat: portable home console gaming with co-op on the go. Don't need online if you meet up with people outside with the Switch.
Of course if you 1) don't have a Switch then yeah, it would be difficult to play the game on one or 2) (and I'm just putting a possibility here) prefer to not meet with people IRL, then yeah, I can see the lack of an online component could be off putting.
@MyLegGuy thanks for the sarcasm... but fair point. I dropped that comment after a cursory view of the video and feeling that it just didn't sit right with me. Had I taken the time to properly sit down and write out my thoughts on the video (after several rewatches), perhaps I would've been able to come up with reasons for my disquiet. I did want to put my concern out in some form, but at the time I was occupied with something else that took away my attentions and I didn't have a whole lot of time to revisit this topic until now.
That said, other commenters have pinpointed issues that match with my concerns so to drop a correction or clarification to my comment would be to repeat what has already been said.
Don't hold up too much hope for Beyond Good and Evil 2 on Switch. Just assume it won't come; so if it does get a port then that'll be a nice surprise. Otherwise, business as usual.
Truly dislike statements like this... feels more like threats from a yakuza or gangster rather than a statement from the head of a video game comapny... but I suppose quite a few of them feel that way anyway, so in a way it's sort of fitting.
It's a pity about the Switch stretch goal. They outline their reasons clearly in the FAQ and yet... I just feel like they don't see it as a viable medium for their game I suppose. A pity, for I feel the portability of the Switch would have been an excellent feature for the game (see: Osu Takaden Ouendan, Elite Beat Agents, Voez). There are some great rhythm games too that aren't portable (Sentris, Rhythm Doctor, Guitar Hero series, Audiosurf), however I find myself sinking more hours into those that are. Of course this is me personally and I am an advocate for portability, as you can probably tell (huhuhu)...
While I would agree that it's a fun little title, I miss the hidden lore nuggets and puzzle elements Skipmore's previous titles had (i.e. Fairune 1 & 2). Guess I'm a sucker for more point-and-click adventure tropes (I know they aren't your traditional examples of the genre, but you can see huge influences in both). However can't fault the battle mechanics this game has though; making for solid and fun, albeit short gameplay. There is however a third option in the menu that I'm at the moment unable to access, but at the moment I am unable to fathom as to how to unlock (seeing as I beat the game with all three characters already...).
