Lately I only pre order to get a new game as soon as I can since they ship at launch. The local Game Stop is at an out-of-the-way spot & doesn't stay well-stocked.
@RubyCarbuncle Imagine playing both a turn-based & RTS at the same time while your cursor is attacked like in a top-down space shooter. It gets nuts & frustrating.
Yet, I recommend trying it if you can. If anything, just so gamers can see how the heck they pulled this off.
@Shade_Koopa I've heard this was the case. Think the lack of friends willing to try stuff like this is why I walked away from the game.
Well, that & once you start losing, it seems harder & harder to get yourself back in the groove as the game starts pairing you with more & more bad randoms.
Liked the original on Steam. But yeah, not much of an online community. I think the one time I did stumble into a lobby, I got kicked after winning one too many rounds of battle mode.
Haven't played in a while since after getting all the online tournament unlocks. Glad to see more offline content. Might be time to dust off my Voltas.
Also, as someone who uses some of the faster moving pilots, that ice launcher sounds potentially devastating.
If the WiiU eshop still occasionally had sales I'd say the WiiU would be worth it for sure. I've thought about finishing my VC collection of Mega Man games & getting Super Castlevania IV but with both Switch collections often going on sale for like $10...
@Clyde_Radcliffe Didn't even think of an online Kirby Air Rider til just now. Imagine City Ride online working like a MMO with a bunch of players flying around a huge city for a while.
@SM3DASislit Tried it earlier today. Not bad. I know it gets compared to Splatoon 2, but I see free for all as a nice break from the random teams I've had to deal with there. Plus being a lousy shot isn't as big a handicap in this.
As annoying as the weapon clash thing can be I'll take rock/paper/scissors over the button mashing method you see in fighting & wrestling games.
Funny enough the Game Boy versions of Samurai Shodown & Battle Arena Toshinden actualy had bigger character rosters via unlockables than their originals.

Re: Triangle Strategy Producers Talk HD-2D And Why Other Devs Haven't Used it
@MrGawain I like it. But I used to play Warhammer 40k so having it in Triangle Strategy gives me tabletop war gaming vibes.

+1 Gotcha Force

@cammers1995 I don't watch WWE these days & I'm tired of him.
Re: Review: Formula Retro Racing - A Sega-Style Arcade Racer With Engine Troubles
Is online in Hotshot Racing alive? This review has reminded me that I had that game collecting dust after finishing grand prix once or twice.
Re: Nintendo Releases Two Utterly Charming Switch Commercials In Japan
@sleepinglion The Who Are You ad is still my fav.
Re: Talking Point: Should We Still Be Pre-Ordering Games?
Lately I only pre order to get a new game as soon as I can since they ship at launch. The local Game Stop is at an out-of-the-way spot & doesn't stay well-stocked.
Re: Windjammers But With Guns? Introducing Cyberpunk Sports Title 'Hyper Gunsport'
Kinda makes me think of Pong, but played with Contra characters.
Re: These Genki: Waveform Earphones Let You Stream And Mix Two Audio Sources
Wish Nintendo kept letting us play music off our memory cards in games like they did with Excite Truck

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 19th)
More Triangle Strategy here. While I plan on getting the MK8 dlc eventually, the itch to play it again isn't there right now.
Re: 10 Of The Best Nintendo Switch Soundtracks
Hmm liked the Volta-X & Penguin Wars soundtracks myself.
Tetris Effect is in part 2 though, right?
Re: Side-Scrolling Beat 'Em Up 'Wonder Momo' Is The Next Arcade Archives Game
Can't say I want to play it, but her theme music after she does her henshin is pretty catchy.
Re: Here's A First Look At The House Of The Dead: Remake Physical Switch Release
Eh, it won't be the same without my Nyko Perfect Shot.
Re: 'Morphcat Collection' Brings Homebrew NES Goodness To The Evercade Family
If I had locals to play it with, I'd consider getting this just for Micro Mages.
Re: Retro: How A Remarkable Street Fighter Port Soured The Relationship Between Capcom And Nintendo
Wow. And I thought their port of Alpha 3 on the GBA was impressive.
Re: Bandai Namco To Spend $130 Million On Building An 'IP Metaverse'
Could have won me over if we had 3D avatars sitting at tables & playing Duelyst had they not ended that game.
Re: Random: Wii Shop Channel Music Browser Extension (Version 2.0) Is Now Available For Mozilla Firefox
Wish there was a random track option, but pretty neat all the same.
Re: 2D Anime Fighter 'Phantom Breaker: Omnia' Locks In A March 2022 Release
So... is it a sequel to Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds or a re-telling of the first game as a fighter?
Re: Review: Clockwork Aquario — A Short And Oh-So-Sweet Arcade Platformer Rescued From Oblivion
Hmm will wishlist & hope to catch it on sale.
Re: Feature: 10 Overlooked GameCube Gems You Must Play
@BakaKnight +1 for Gotcha Force.
If we can't get a sequel, I'd be happy with an enhanced port with online play/trading.
Re: The Toy-Themed Shooter Hypercharge: Unboxed Just Got Its "Biggest" Switch Update Ever
.....Was that a Beyblade flying at you towards the end of that trailer?
Re: Horizon Chase Turbo Honours F1's Ayrton Senna In New 'Senna Forever' Expansion
Whoa. Had just finished the main career & was debating Summer Vibes. May jump on this one.
Re: Splatoon 2 Is Getting Another Game Update Next Week

Re: Review: Skydrift Infinity - Arcade-Style Sky Racing That's Short But Sweet
Liked the original on Steam. But yeah, not much of an online community. I think the one time I did stumble into a lobby, I got kicked after winning one too many rounds of battle mode.
Re: Yep, The Wii U Gets A New Game In July
@COVIDberry Ok, so I wasn't the only one that saw that.
Re: RTS Mech-Battler Volta-X Gets New Mode, Weapons And More In 'Metaverse' Update
Haven't played in a while since after getting all the online tournament unlocks. Glad to see more offline content. Might be time to dust off my Voltas.

Re: Talking Point: Is It Worth Buying A Nintendo Wii U In 2021?
If the WiiU eshop still occasionally had sales I'd say the WiiU would be worth it for sure. I've thought about finishing my VC collection of Mega Man games & getting Super Castlevania IV but with both Switch collections often going on sale for like $10...
Re: Mario Kart 8 Becomes The "Best-Selling" Racing Game In US History
Deluxe may not have any new tracks but with the DLC included & fire-hopping removed, I was sold.
Re: Nintendo's Giving Away Pairs Of Animal Crossing Build-A-Bears (North America)
Don't really want, but these points are rotting away so...
Re: Forget The Past, Nintendo's Future Is Focused On New IP And "Staple Series"
@Clyde_Radcliffe Didn't even think of an online Kirby Air Rider til just now. Imagine City Ride online working like a MMO with a bunch of players flying around a huge city for a while.
Re: Review: PAC-MAN 99 - The BR Formula Freshens Up Another Timeless Classic
There doesn't seem to be a Ms. Pac-Man theme yet so not too tempted on DLC save for maybe single player.
Re: Review: RetroMania Wrestling - A Faithful But Limited NostalgiaFest
As happy as I am to see Zack Sabre Jr. in there I think I'll pass. I'm still holding out hope for a Saturday Night Slammasters spiritual sequel.
Re: Feature: Best NES Games
I can't even find the TMNT Arcade game on the search. No wonder it's not on this list. Couldn't find Strider or Code Name: Viper either.
Re: Tales Of Symphonia Is The Best-Selling Entry In The Series' 25-Year History
Destiny is my fav of the lot. Would love to try an HD remake of that as well as Destiny 2. Symphonia ain't bad either of course.
Re: Talking Point: Which Old Game Series Would You Like To See Revived?
Gotcha Force
Saturday Night Slammasters
Re: '80s-Inspired "Skateboating Game" Wave Break Splashes Onto Switch This Spring
@Rambler My mind to Skate or Die.
Re: Feature: A Brief History Of Nintendo’s Home Hardware Add-Ons
Loved both the Super Game Boy & later the Game Boy Player.
No love for Xband? Or was this first party add-ons only?

Re: It Looks Like A New Hot Wheels Game Is About To Be Unleashed On Switch

Re: Try Not To Be Jealous, But Japan Is Getting An Exclusive Physical Edition Of Legend Of Mana
@Razer PSX game but yeah.
Re: Square Enix Is Releasing A Legend Of Mana Remaster On Switch This June

Re: Wacky Shmup Parody Project Starship X Launches On Switch Today
Well...has a tentacle monster doing the dab & a girl flipping the double bird for some reason, so I can't totally ignore this one.
Re: Ninjala Has Now Been Downloaded Six Million Times On The Switch eShop
@SM3DASislit Combination of backlog & mostly single-player games.
When I uninstall games it's more about not planning on ever playing it again than saving space.
Re: Ninjala Has Now Been Downloaded Six Million Times On The Switch eShop
@SM3DASislit For now, yeah. Don't know how active I'll be. Been on a solo gaming kick lately. But for now, it's staying installed.
Re: Ninjala Has Now Been Downloaded Six Million Times On The Switch eShop
@SM3DASislit Tried it earlier today. Not bad. I know it gets compared to Splatoon 2, but I see free for all as a nice break from the random teams I've had to deal with there. Plus being a lousy shot isn't as big a handicap in this.

Re: Ninjala Has Now Been Downloaded Six Million Times On The Switch eShop
I keep forgetting to try this game...
Re: All Walls Must Fall Brings "Tech-Noir" Tactical Time-Travel To Switch Today
Reminds me of the SNES Shadowrun.
Re: Feature: How Takara Brought SNK's Arcade Fighters To The Humble Game Boy

Re: Gal*Gun Returns Introduces 10% Discount For Switch Pre-Orders
@Lord Think it's an updated remake of the first game.
