Re: Best Nintendo Switch Metroidvania Games

@bimmy-lee Definitely spring for it! I had it years ago, but didn't get a chance to play much then, so I also just picked it up on the sale, and have been having an incredible time.

If you've played any of the Shantae games, it's along those lines for backtracking requirement, which is to say not too much. Mostly for side quests and collectibles. It gives me the same sense of enjoyment I got when I played through Steamworld Dig 2!

Definitely don't want to join the bashing train, as I, and as I can assume most of you good people, are all fans of the franchise!

I just remember how awesome the 3DS SoS games were for their time, and with the fresh direction that the Doraemon spinoff took, it seemed that this new one would be a slam dunk. I think that there is a collective feeling of letdown, even though I am sure the game provides a good amount of fun and is not inherently trash like many opinions swilling about seem to suggest.

I will definitely pick up down the line to support, but I just hope that the developers take all the criticism floating around constructively and not to heart and end up nixing the franchise!

All of the usual requests would of course be cherished (Brewster, better multiplayer experience), but what I really wish is that they would add some new unique villager dialogues when they update the game. As it stands now, most villagers of a certain type will all share the same dialogue points....I seem to remember that in NL every villager really felt like their own special character.

All fantastic choices. I was actually hoping to nab Alliance Alive for 3DS recently, but was bummed to see it had been removed from the eShop . Plenty others to get though!
