Hmm don’t really like this personally. Doesn’t feel very Metroid having a team of people who look like they are out of a Pixar film. Will wait for reviews hopefully I’m wrong and they really do add something.
Must admit I haven’t got this game because Hollow Knight while great the bits I played, one boss was just too tough and frustrating. I don’t see why this can’t have difficulty modes, I would love to play this game.
I don't really get the fuss about this one, I'm happy for the fans but it looks like a fairly mediocre racer to me, not much meat on the bone or content that will keep people playing it for long, from what I can see. Would have made more sense to revive F-Zero imo.
How this isn't a 10 I will never know, it looks incredible! A great evolution of the Odyssey formula (and this is from someone who wanted something more akin to DK64).
I really hope there is a lot more to this game than we have seen. A little disappointed this is so different to DK64. Punching rocks and destroying terrain is cool but looks very repetitive after a while. Would love to see some real platforming.
underwhelmed with the games released so far or those coming out soon and the focus on games being enhanced from last generation, will happily bide my time until a few Nintendo big hitters are out.
This game was probably the best experience for me in gaming since Ocarina of Time when it first came out, put hundreds of hours into it. Shame that Tears of the Kingdom just didn’t have that same feeling for me.
My favourite game since Elden Ring, absolutely loving it. Can’t believe how much depth there is to the game! Much better than the original which was great in itself.
I don’t follow him on Twitter and I would buy it, so his logic doesn’t really make much sense. If Twitter is the barometer for anything, then God help us!
Nintendo should never have let Rare go. They could have made some classic games for Nintendo for years instead of the rubbish they made for Xbox, after Microsoft ruined them.
Brilliant stuff as ever, so many great N64 mods available on the real hardware now. Snooplax is another one worth following for that, does some good lists.
@N00BiSH it's not all been bad and I think Rare would have changed a lot anyway but I think we have missed out on a lot of gold because of the Microsoft takeover. I still lament the loss of Donkey Kong Racing!
Not as good a game as BOTW or OOT for me. Played 120 hours but didn’t really gel with it that much. A lot of building and YouTube guides were needed to figure stuff out, not a fan of either of those things. Let’s have some proper dungeon next time

Re: UK Charts: Donkey Kong Bananza Is A Hit, But Sells Less Than Half Of Super Mario Odyssey
Also, don't more people buy digital now than in 2017? Plus Mario is a much more popular character to the average Joe out there.

Re: Video: New Yooka-Replaylee Gameplay Revealed In Deep Dive "Explainer" Trailer
If it has enough changes from the original I will probably get it. Just wish it was a sequel instead.
Re: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Physical Release Confirmed (Japan)
@LXP8 you think Nintendo doesn’t use AI at all in their business?
Re: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Physical Release Confirmed (Japan)
@VoidofLight virtually every company in the world will be using AI to some extent. So good luck with that!
Can’t believe they aren’t releasing this physically in the West!

Re: Shovel Knight Returns In New 'Yooka-Replaylee' Trailer

Re: Level-5's Long-Awaited Fantasy Life Sequel Seems To No Longer Be A Switch Exclusive

If Rare had only stayed with Nintendo I wonder how many great games we could have got over the past 20 years. Shame really
