Coming from someone who found Double Dragon Neo & Wulverblade to both be very boring and regretful purchases.....I absolutely LOVE Mother Russia Bleeds. Love the boss fights.
I only play single player I'll mention (none of my friends like beat em ups!)
I found the combat to be very satisfying and really appreciate the arena levels (I find many beat em ups don't offer other modes beyond the main game so its a nice addition)
If you dig jumping into violent video games just for sake of grotesque and absurd HotLine Miami esque gore, this will certainly scratch an itch as well.
It can be fun to hate things, but i don't get why folks get so aggressive. I was among those disappointed that the new pokemon game this year was a thing I'm not interested in but...that's it. Disappointed subsided. Besides Nintendo already said they're making a traditional pokemon installment anyway. Making Pokemon Ranger and Pokemon Dash didn't ruin the franchise....
I mean...whats the difference between a 4.5 and 6?
Is one really better? Maybe if I like the genre more the 4.5 will be better...
Scored reviews in most readers minds seems to break down like this:
0-6.0 Not reccommend
7.0 Bad game
8.0 Dissappointing but Fine
9.0 Really good Game
10.0 Greatest game of all time or another damn GTA
@Pablo17 I checked out the summary info in the Youtube Video.
"Who's going to #e3 ? Hands up! 😱 #CrazyJustice Cross- Play feature will be playable on #E32018 at #TheMIX on June 13😍" The game isn't releasing on June 13th. It is playable at this "The Mix" thing at E3, which are the logos at the end of the video. NintendoLife didn't really check the validity of this article.
In my recent time on the internet engagin with other Nintendo fans I really can't believe how all over the place ya'lls are with your unreasonable demands.
Also a lot of the oomph of this direct was ruined by a plethora of leaks.
Pretty damn good presentation. I'm gonna be busy on the switch the rest of the year.
Every time I've played a game with voice chat all I hear are barrages of Racist stuff, sometimes at me if I say something in Spanish.
No to voice chat and Nintendolife's soapboxes.
This game seems like its in the same club as Happy Birthdays. Niche as all hell and therefore bound to get middling reviews to mediocre reviews with the occasional glowing one.
Been very excited for this game. Evolution themed games will always grab my attention and I was digging the demo. I do get the feeling that this is one of those niche games that will likely drop in price swiftly over the next month or two so I'll probably wait for that to happen.
I hope E3 still got some surprises for this year! I'm loving all the eshop games on switch but ain't yet excited bout Nintendo's offerings....hopefully e3 gets me excited for Smash bros but I may be done with that franchise if it's more of the same.
I'm very excited for Monolith to move on from Xeno titles and offer us a new kinda of action rpg. This sounds like the "Western Style RPG" they were hiring for a year ago.
Skyrim Switch. Wanna finally get them last two Aetherium Shards. 150 hours in on my Switch version, and that's after playing a total of 120 hours on xbox360 version. This is the first time i'm doing this particular quest. This game is so huge and has so much value it's no wonder they keep releasing it.
Stixming point is starting off with 20 nes for 20 bucks is pretty groovy. I want them. Dont need em but thatll be gran all the same.
Dont get the conplaints. Dont know why people expect Nintendo to ever do anything comparatively to Sony and Microsoft.
A constant slew of nes games is cool.
As far as voice chat goes im really glad Nintendo makes this so hard tp use. I cant stand playing any online game that encourages chat. Nothing but racists playing online and always make that clear. That made me stop plugging in my headphones when playing COD on xbox360.
In a bitter sweet way im glad VC is dead. That whole shebang would stand in the way of all the recent indie success on the Switch. Why spend $15 on the indie dev take on a retro game style when you can pay $8 for the real deal?
Besides. Nintendos language still keeps the door open for stand alone retro releases/updates. Lookin at you gamecube.
@redd214 yeah my ladt year with a PS3 as my main console was made great thanks to PS Plus and its string of quality Plus games. Got to play Hotline Miami, Saints Row 3, Sleeping Dogs amongst many others.
@JHDK i agree America needs to mind its own business on a lot of global policies. I certainly fail to see how the Paris Agreement penalizes America so harshly or why we should do the least possible in adressing climate issues
As far as reffering to ilegal immigrents as criminals i think folks like me get away from calli f them illegals cause it dehumanizes them. I get there are some bad folks out there that you legit have problems comin in but thats isnt the majority. I mean ive been called an illegal and forbidden from applying to an apartment cause i have a spanish name. Normalizing trump style "tough talk" is complacency in that kinda racism.
I agree folks shouldnt exactly kick speakers out of town but if a community dont want you coming to them they have just as much freedom of speech to say I dont want you here.
Thanks for the exchange. Good luck in the elections to come.
@antdickens i dig that and thanks for the response. I understand that maintaining both the free exchange of positive ideas and the sanctity of a platforms prime purpose are rough roads to navigate. Good luck with that sir!
@antdickens Its important for people to see others shutting down racists. Sweeping it under the rug is what we do in America. Makes folks believe it doesnt exist over time. Then you get trumps.
cool trailer. But that's how I felt bout Mulaka when that was first announced for switch, which did not meet my expectations. This leaves me feeling similar.
Also from my perspective, If this article didn't tell me this was a Zelda style game I wouldn't have immediately thought that. Especially when there seemed to be no Puzzle displayed in that trailer...unless I missed it.
@SCAssassin yeah but if you print out your own cover and slap it on your shelf....itll be....1 of a kind. Collect that business to!
But seriously yeah i getcha. If i had that kinda extra dough to throw around id consider some of these limited releases. Id just expect the package to appear a little more premium at that price...like a manual!
Whats the reasoning for Game Maker not being supported? Is that a decision resulting from needing some sorta contract on its use? What does the Switch need to actually do to support that engine?
Cause every Nintendo Gamer would clearly want all of the Game Maker games listed here...its kind of a no-brainer unless Nintendo wants the Vita to be the only place to play those games on the go...
Granted all views will be subjective and multiple writers do these reviews BUUT!
I always find it funny when a site reviews a game lauding it for something like "Cloning a Classic Game style" (Tiny Metal) then reviews another game and uses the same argument to suggest the game ain't doing enough to move the genre forward (this game now!)

Re: Talking Point: Do We Still Need Review Scores?
Scores end up being too confusing and mostly just become ammo for the worst of comment ready review complainers.
I dig when sites do a simple "Reccommended", "Avoid", " Buy it now!"
Then read the article to see why they came to that conclusion.
Too often i see reviewers give drastically different review scores for games that they spoke on almost exactly the same way

And that new Fire Emblem looks sick.
Re: Soapbox: Fortnite Is Coming So Nintendo Really Needs To Sort Out Its Voice Chat Problem

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Make Of The Three Big Pokémon Games Coming To Nintendo Switch?
Even 12 year old me would roll his eyes at these "Lets Go Con People Out Of Their Money" games
Re: You Can Pre-Order Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu! and Let's Go Eevee! for Switch Already
I'll file this one under "Not For Me"
I hope E3 still got some surprises for this year! I'm loving all the eshop games on switch but ain't yet excited bout Nintendo's offerings....hopefully e3 gets me excited for Smash bros but I may be done with that franchise if it's more of the same.
Re: Hands On: Prepare For the Fight of Your Life in Octopath Traveler
Definitely disappointed bout that 30 FPS.
After Mario Odyssey I don't understand how any game engine built to looks like older games doesn't run at 60fps for the switch
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th May (North America)
Got Runner3 physical. Nicalis is the best at this retail business.
Really looking forward to next week when West of Loathing comes out
Whats up with Megaman collection 2 being more expensive?

Re: Rumour: Retro Studios Is Working On A Secret Star Fox: Grand Prix Title For Switch
If this is true.....oh geeze.
by the way Star Fox Zero remains my favorite Star Fox. I swear they made that game for me and me alone.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend?
Skyrim Switch. Wanna finally get them last two Aetherium Shards. 150 hours in on my Switch version, and that's after playing a total of 120 hours on xbox360 version. This is the first time i'm doing this particular quest.

Re: Review: Raging Justice (Switch eShop)
hows it compare to Wulverblade? which looks way more interesting

Re: Guide: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For May And June
Pre ordered Runner3. So psyched for that.
Also very likely going to get Happy Birthdays. Looks like the kind of soothing time sink I can dig.
Re: Review: Jotun: Valhalla Edition (Switch eShop)
I bought this game for the Wii U when that was new.
It's mediocre at best.
The graphics, look better in stills than in motion, it just as often looks like a cheap unity game the way some things animate.
And I found the combat and exploration to be beyond tedium.
Re: Details Regarding Nintendo Switch Online Services Will Be Shared In May
@redd214 yeah my ladt year with a PS3 as my main console was made great thanks to PS Plus and its string of quality Plus games. Got to play Hotline Miami, Saints Row 3, Sleeping Dogs amongst many others.
Re: Rumour: Pokémon Switch's Release Date Could Be As Early As November This Year
@19Robb92 Yeah I would find it hard to believe that they'd be able to crank out a totally brand spanking new Pokemon Game that quickly.
When they revealed that a new Pokemon was coming to Switch at E3 2017 wasn't it presented as the company is JUST BEGINNING to make it?
Re: Wolfenstein II On Switch Receives June Release Date And First Official Trailer
Cant wait for this!
I noticed the eshop says it's only a 13gb download.
Curious how that compares to the retail version...how small is that cartridge that they have to force a download?
Re: Death Road To Canada Delayed Following The Recent Attack In Toronto
@Octane
The conversation naturally found its way where it went. All that business is connected.
And as you can see we amicably ended the conversation a while ago.
Re: Death Road To Canada Delayed Following The Recent Attack In Toronto
@Octane felt pretty on topic to me. And we werent getting nasty.

Re: Review: Devious Dungeon (Switch eShop)
I loved this game on mobile.
I would actually enjoy having this on Switch, but I'd wait for a sale. Wouldn't wanna pay more than 2.99 for it.
This game was made by the same folks who made League of Evil which is a stellar Mobile Platformer...also now a switch title.
and to weirdos saying it is not a roguelike.....uhh Yeah it's pretty much a roguelike.
If you mean it in the same since like " New Found Glory isn't a Punk Rock Band" maybe I get you...but uh....come on now.
Re: Pocket Rumble Reminds You That It Still Exists By Being Playable At EGX Rezzed 2018
Pocket Rumble and Morphies Law
I don't think any of us should expect to hear anything concrete from these games until Nintendo reveals its Online subscription plan.
These games and their focus on online play probably need what Nintendo is cooking to operate properly.
Re: West Of Loathing Is A Wild West-Themed RPG Full Of Stickman Cowboys

Re: Nindies Showcase For Nintendo Switch Airing Next Week

Re: Feature: Retro-Inspired FPS Hellscreen Aims For Nintendo Switch
I was waiting awhile for the video to finish loading. I assumed my slow internet connection was why the game looked so fugly.
Yikes.
Looks like a rejected virtual boy game.
Re: The Flame In The Flood Is Getting A Physical Release On Switch
@SCAssassin yeah but if you print out your own cover and slap it on your shelf....itll be....1 of a kind.
Collect that business to!
But seriously yeah i getcha. If i had that kinda extra dough to throw around id consider some of these limited releases.
Id just expect the package to appear a little more premium at that price...like a manual!
Re: The Flame In The Flood Is Getting A Physical Release On Switch
$35 to own this game with a box and cards.
I got this on the eshop for $7.50
Great game but geeeez. Bad pricing. Too bad they all cant be like Binding of Isaac and its pricing and bonuses.
Re: Smash-Style Brawler Rivals of Aether Is Headed To Switch
