Oh really, then how do you explain World War 2, because its awfully funny how a second world war started just decades before tons of WW2 shooters were made. Coincidence, I THINK NOT!!!!!
@rjejr Funny thing is the person who leaked the Animal Crossing Direct ahead of time say another Indie Direct is on the horizon, I believe it was for March. But that person also said a Nintendo Direct was going to happen in the next few days, so we'll see what happens
@Kalmaro Oh no yea this happened WAY too fast. If it was just a port of the game then this would be reasonable. But this isn't just a port, it's a remaster which has to find a gameplay work around due to the WiiU gamepad, then they have to work on ALL of the new systems they're porting too (Which is not a simple task btw), then they have to upgrade the visuals and assets (Which even though its mostly reused assets its still a time-consuming process), and then after all of that they now have new features and modes to implement thanks to the Kickstarter goals. And if you think thats a walk in the park then keep in mind the new modes are 2D platformers, a complete contrast to rest of the game. Meaning those new modes will have to be designed differently from the rest of the game, needing entirely new code to implement, and possibly even a ton of new assets. And keep in mind a game needs roughly a month in advance for approval and the other technical setups. So by this logic, they would only have 2 months to do ALL OF THAT!!! (Also keep in mind that Platinum games isn't a very big studio, but they have several games in production right now stretching across their few dev teams.) So this game has to have been in production for a while, atleast a couple more months. Its highly unlikely they just started working on the game after the stretch goals were reached, they wouldn't be able to make a solid release date in so very little time.
@SeantheDon29 Nope, remember that DLC characters get their own unique spirit boards. So any character being added as DLC wouldn't have a spirit board beforehand, they would save those spirits for the DLC spirit board.
@Heavyarms55 Oh yea they used the switch to Adult Swim to its full advantage. I wouldn't say they went too far with it, many of the episodes are set up like the earlier seasons episodes. But there are a few episodes that definitely push that more adult rating. One of the big plot points of the 5th season is Jack contemplating Seppuku because, believing he failed everyone by losing his sword and just wanting it all to end.
@Heavyarms55 If you watch the game trailer you'll see some of the events from the 5th season. Jacks suited up in Armor, has a beard, now also wields guns due to the fact that he lost his sword. The 5th season is real hectic, it even has Jack take the first human life he had to take in his quest to stop Aku.
@Capt_N Um......this IS a workaround. Preventing cheating is not at all an easy task, considering that you didn't provide a solution and only demanded results proves how difficult it is to come up with one. Not to mention, sadly, cheating prevention methods affect everyone, not just the cheaters. Consider it the cheaters spoiling the fun for everyone. And any solution that gives the players the benefit of the doubt, obviously ignores the fact that the solution is a cheating prevention method to begin with.
@gloom Actually the Starters have been more humanoid since Gen 3 and onward. But as far as that goes they're still really good designs. I'd put them above Gen 5 and Gen 6.
I'm hyped for Ultra Instinct Goku, it makes sense that such a broken form would look so broken in the game. I really want a Mastered UI Goku vs Mastered UI Goku match.
@AlexSora89 Spoilers, but the cameos don't end there. He has his own little hide out in the main screen of the game, and he has a few Deadpool themed challenges for you to complete in order to unlock him.
The fact that Deadpool was added to the season pass, and not as a stand alone skin, has definitley made me certain to buy this season pass. I hope future season passes add in crossover characters as well.
Maybe that's why they erased all info about the Witcher 3 update. Maybe this deal spoiled the plans on that, or perhaps the update is on hiatus till they can get everything situated. I'm hoping it doesn't get canned all together.
This game is another generic FPS, but honestly, it might be what the Switch needs right now. The Switch doesn't have many CoD like games, and what few we do have run terrible or have terrible online functionality. So an ok playing, decent working online, CoD like game is definitely something the Switch could use now. If the devs play their cards right this could be a big hit for Switch users to fill in that void that CoD has left open. Though they better capitalize on it quick, because once the game gets some good success you know Activision will be greasing their sleazy, hairy neanderthal caveman-like, greedy palms and get right onto making a switch port of whatever CoD project they got goin.
This is actually the very first game I received a review code for. It's actually a really great game. Solid controls, massive levels, designed with a lot of great parkour in mind. There's only 2 issues with the game. 1. It's designed more like an MMO than a single-player game. Which makes sense as the game was more so intended to be an online focused game. Infact you can choose to play the game entirely online, which will let you roam around the levels with other players and even play missions with them. But the thing is, as a single-player experience the mission system is a bit of a let down due to this. The second issue is in the game's own unique sports game, which looks neat at first but the controls are incredibly wonky. The sport game missions are by far the most difficult and tedious in the game. Each time it's a barrier that keeps you from making any progress due to how hard it is to actually control. But with both of those in mind, it's still a fun game. And I cannot praise the controls enough, it feels amazing too play. So even if the missions disappoint you, you will have hours of fun alone skating around those massive open levels getting into all kinds of shenanigans.
I'm pretty sure this has been around since 2015, I downloaded the extension on my school laptop and would listen to it during some of my classes. I hope they'll end up updating it with music from New Horizons after the game releases.
@Golin32 The future of the DBS anime is very uncertain right now. Its assumed the reason the anime is taking so long to return is to give the manga time to stay ahead, since previously the DBS manga was actually far behind the anime. The Tournament of Power in the anime was wrapping up during the time the manga was wrapping up the Goku Black Arc. This was done by Toriyama giving Toei a rough script of the events in each arc, which the anime would take liberties filling in the gaps. As of right now though Toriyama is working on a script for the next DBS movie, so while he's busy on that it doesn't seem like the Moro arc is going to be animated for a bit.
@YagaMaki I really wish they would add Moro, he is beocoming one of my favorite villians period. But sadly FighterZ mostly follows the anime rather than the manga, so it's unlikley they'll add Moro without him being part of the anime.
MUI Goku looks amazing, and i'm hyped for that new dramatic finish against Jiren. One of the greatest moments of Super, Goku and Frieza teaming up for one of the best fights in the series.
Each and every day I tell myself these subscription services would be an amazing beniefiet for Switch Online Members. Just give anyone with an Online membership free access to these subscription services, thus not only increasing the mobile playerbase but also giving Switch Online Members more benefiets for the service.
@gloom What if they added an entirely new Mansion, a brand new story mode with unqiue bosses, puzzles, enemies, costumes, and other benifiets? That would be worth the $20, just like Splatoon 2's Octo-expansion.
Shame. I was really hoping they were planning to add a Single player DLC expansion in the future. But who knows, maybe they will end up adding some down the line. Afterall the game is selling like hot cakes, and no doubt the DLC is going to sell great. Maybe Nintendo will push them to add some Story DLC next year.
If you'll notice there's space for 1 final stretch goal. I wonder if they really have 1 more "Hypothetical" stretch goal in mind if the game surpasses 1.5 million.
I know its bad to say that I don't want this game ported, but after what happened at launch those review bombers shouldn't be rewarded. Their logic was to have the game critically bomb on Switch, so it would be forced to be ported. I know a good chunk of people who would want the game ported didn't do such things, but an awful lot of people did. People need to learn that maybe anger and hate isn't the way to get change, but kindness and support
@PikaPhantom you can not seriously think Cuphead, a 2D model translated to 3D, would work better than Steve, an already existing 3D model which can be scaled appropriately fit the fighter. Yes it is entirely possible, in fact its even more so after Cuphead and Sans got their costumes considering they have worst proportions for Mii Fighter than Steve, yet they managed to make them work. Steve would fit perfectly, make him a Sword fighter and either give him his Diamond Picaxe or a Diamond Sword, a Picaxe would work perfectly fine giving the much stranger variety of weapons other Mii costumes use, like the Yiga clan outfit. So yea, Steve would fit perfectly as a mii fighter costume.
@Octane the Krawl enemies are fine because there was a ton of variety with them, plus they were very challenging enemies. Not to mention the boss fights were amazing themselves. I think the only time you got to fight other spectrobes was against the Final boss of Origins, but I think his Spectrobe was a Krawl hybrid. But yea Origins wasnt perfect, but it was far better than it had any reason to be. Had they fixed its minor issues and improved some aspects of it, it could have been an amazing series. Thats why im desperate for a modern game.
All these Pokemon-like games are making me wish Disney would produce another Spectrobes game. Spectobes Origin on the Wii was FAAAAAR better than it had any right to be. So a modern day Spectrobes in the same vain as that game would be amazing.
Ah yes, back in the good old days where there were just 4 Fire Emblem reps. Not counting Roy as DLC, Corrin as future DLC, and a recent DLC character I don't think many people heard about.
@Zeldafan79 Also by far the biggest mistake of the WiiU.....Wii Sports Club was not a packaged game. The president of Nintendo fought so hard to get Wii Sports to be packaged with every wii, and it was a massive success. So I have no idea why they didn't do the same with Wii Sports club, or why they turned it into a subscription service. Especially now that you can no longer play it since they shut down the service.
@Zeldafan79 Actually a big reason for the Wiiu's failure is in its marketing. At the time of launch Nintendo was not clear as for what the WiiU was. Most people assumed it was an add-on for the Wii given its name. Also a incredibly poor move is the severe lack of games for the system. When it launched it supported almost no big 1st party games, with them dribbling out big games once every while. We didn't start getting a ton of games till 2014, 2 years too late. Thankfully Nintendo learned a valuable lesson and sunk a ton of time and money into marketing the Switch. And Nintendo focused on putting out a ton of big named games for it at launch, and ever strongly afterwards.
Nintendo was right in that in the future the WiiU will be remembered fondly like the Gamecube (Also a failure like the WiiU) Still its great to see many of the WiiU classics get ported to the Switch for those who never got to experience them. Heck Mario kart 8 Deluxe is still selling like hotcakes. Glad to hear 2 more WiiU ports are coming this year, my bets are on Pikmin 3 and Starfox Zero
