Heres the thing.... 1) you dont need a dock to play the deck on a tv
2) there are more capable and cheaper docks from viable electronic makers 3) the decks go on sale especially during steam sales 4) I can get one now and not worry about the switch 2 until the OLED version comes out and when there's more established 1st party games 5) the deck can capably run these games already (even though the switch may do it a bit better) 6) there are more playable games on the deck than the switch 2 will have probably ever
And this is the reason why I'm skipping the switch 2 for now and getting a steam deck
As someone whom never really was a fan of Pokemon games of the past (I tried several times but it never resonated with me) I am really looking forward to playing this one. I pre-ordered it a couple of days ago and it really looks fun and new for this franchise. Fingers crossed.
This comment may be unpopular, but do you think they're doing too much? I ordered a game back in the first weeks of September and I'm still waiting on it. I don't feel like it ever took this long before. I know with covid and supply chains and all but can they keep up?
ZAMN is one of those classics I put up there with Super Mario Bros, I absolutely love it! So much so I bought the limited run edition. When I sold my original Genesis and the copy of this game (as well as many others) I really didn't think i would miss it but I am so glad its coming back.
Dex is an absolute steal at 1.70! Don't dismiss Qubic games they have a good amount of arcade gems in this deal. Sure, ever title wont be for you but my 3 year old loves the coloring book LOL Space pioneers and Rimelands Hammer of thor for 17 cents is superb.
I enjoyed this much more than the 1st Oceanhorn. Tried it out on Apple Arcade and loved it and thought i would wait until it ends up on the switch to complete it. The graphics are gorgeous and I give it a solid 8 its a really enjoyable game. Do not compare it to BOTW and you will be fine its more like a Windwaker in some regards there is subtle zelda references like the upside down triforce symbol on clothing and things like that but it is an enjoyable game.
Thats about what I expected, as a Joe fan from the 80's I will buy this when there is a sale. My question though is, is there a fan base at all in England (or other countries) for G.I. Joe? I just wonder if the review would be a tad different if you were a fan.
Definitely!!! Yeah the controls kind of sucked but it had sooooo much potential and was a really decent game i would like to see it remastered and this is the one video game (other than tetris) I got my wife sucked into.
Is it bad that I am 90 hours into this game (at the time of typing this) and I still haven't seen the Turnip "dealer". I had no issues with finding him/her in New Leaf but not once with Horizon. Whats the deal?!
If I can ever log into my Nintendo account again (stupid hackers!), i will buy Streets of Rage 4. The problem is I tried to request a new password and after 24 hours I haven't received an email, anyone else have any issues?
i've been playing through Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast for the first time and its dated but its still a great game. i dont know how many times i fell off the side of the cliffs but I hope they find great success porting these old classics over to the switch.
They discounted the Konami collections 2x since they released in the UK but not the US... WHY Konami WHY?!!! Still waiting for a sale until I purchase these games... again... for like the 3rd time
I played for about 40 min my first time and then thought oh yeah there's a check list i need to go through. I had this stupid grin the whole time I played it though (and a few laugh out loud moments). This is a great stress relief after a busy weekend.
Oh man, if you haven't bought it yet, PICK IT UP! The game is well worth it, you don't even need the toys, I gave them to my 6 year old and he enjoyed them more than I ever would. I love this game and hope to see a sequel (without the stupid toys lol)
I've been excited for this, but $24.99?! Its regular price is $19.99 on Steam and includes all 5 dlc packs. It looks great and its been praised on the boop show podcast but I may wait til its a lil lower to test this one out.
This is that one game I thought would be a throw away when it was released, I waited until it was on sale on android and I found myself totally addicted to it (kicking myself for not playing it sooner). I'm totally buying this again for the Switch, it is a must buy and only $3!
I have been playing this game since it's early access on Steam (when you could ride as Shovel Knight early on) and it is a greatly entertaining game, it takes the road rash style to the next level. It's not exactly how I feel Road Rash was back in the day and it is pretty violent and not for the littles but I recommend and will probably buy this again soon .
This is pretty cool and nostalgic and I would buy but PLEASE SEGA release the Star Wars Trilogy Arcade, I still to this day throw a few bucks into that machine everytime I come across one.
I wondered about this game, I may wait for a sale unfortunately and ironically there's just too much to play, and my list just gets bigger and my memory card space smaller. But I love the artwork and the style.
This is probably the perfect stealth game ever made. The only game (in the last 10 - 15 years) I have played through twice. I will probably start playing through it a third time on my switch, it is definitely a must buy.
