I think you’re sortmof missing the point. People arr missinf miverse and those channels since it made the console fell like a warm, personal experience. Ans that is what the switch is missing.
And when i new use my wiiU. With pretendo. I often go to miiverse as well. Just for the cosy feeling
I almost forgot I hd the 360 version, and the DC version too, so will probably buy this, price is ok, though it was more expensive in Japan (40s) but that might be wrong
@Ewaldus although for us dutchies three hours seems a lot, we're awfully lucky to have one in our country, aren't we... (and looking at the reactions, and knowing nintendo netherlands genaral useless and getting the word out, ours was the most easy to get in to as well;))
@ViewtifulCool oh I agree, just saying that for a certain type of person (like me) the fact that the switch 2 is lauching soon did make me delay (maybe forever) buying a steamdeck...
@ViewtifulCool sure but there is also a big overlap in the audience, since lots of games appear on both...and the price of the switch 2 will also be quite close... (i actually probably will buy some type of steamdeck-like device sometimes, but decided to reserve my money for the switch 2 this year..
Only bring my switch outside for big trips. For small o just use eny pocket or miyoo. Which you can just leave in your bag. When bringing switch it is in a case so won’t change that much. And with the hori xl pads. That just feels nice. And i have a case witch works with that
@EarthboundBenjy although i don’t really agree woth tour point. (I think everybody who bought this fame gas acess to to nes games anyway) you dod inspire me to boot uo animal crossing gc on my hacked wiiu which i have all nes fames unlocked;)
Thanx for the review. It seems like every holiday we get something from cave. My switch collextion nears completion )and have ketsui on ps4 and the ds boss rush). Futari next year (btw futari is just japanese for 2 as in the for of ‘the second’.
On the game. Played it it a bit but first inpressions is that it is more fukatsu than daioiou. And the chatter make it feel like raiden 5. Still got the week off of maybe tomorrow time for a proper Tate play.
Just got the jap verision. Interesting in non tste version either rhe babbling on the side. Tomorrow time for a proper go in Tate mode with my utnaroind monitor
Got this for the dreamcast and the xbox 360 i think, nice but not utterly brilliant game in the genre. saw it in the jap ESHOP.. might get it at a sale
@jim @damo.. bigger news: livewire is going to publishing Dodonpacji Sai-DOJ next week on the 19th... now that is a classic.. one of the last cave games...
I might, quite recently played through the Wii version on my wiiu and it was ok, but a but redundant after tropical freeze... since I probably will have to buy a switch 2 in 2025 I'm not going to spend 50 pounds on a remake...
Look they had nicer things than now. But for me, even though i buy quite a few games, the best ones were unattainable. Amd the best rewards were often limited to Japan. And I was saving up stars to convert to wii pointa, and then came they blie of the exchange rate 4;1. And old points/stars beve threatend. The end of CN wasn't nice at all.
Mynintendo has less great rewards. But it least you can easily get some fun things.
Charging my nso controller right now... finally got the snes one last week so the collection is complete
(and people lets not have the same arguments on nso again and again.. if it's for you, it's for you... if you prefer the base pack and the genesis collection that's fine... everybody has a slightly different use case, for me the family package makes all the difference)
@milonorth GC GX and AX still looks so amazing on WiiU (jailbreaked/ usb loader, even supports arcqade version)...
the basic f-zero rhytm is so i coninc, i think lots of people are going to play this while driving... (lots of freeways turning into racetracks this week)
@spadgy Thanks for the reply, and good that we're having the discussion about what makes those game ticks.. In having 'more complex games' , which often in reality means some more stats and a bad storyline, we seem to overlook core mechanics..
I'm an avid Go-player, a board game which has simple, but perfect rules... And so have the truly good shmups....
@spadgy quite nice review, bought it on your words, quite like the game but do wonder something..
on the default 'very hard' mode i arrived at the final boss (which subsequently ruthlessly killed me), but did you find you really improved on further plays.. because the killing system isn't 'fatal' you don't get that immediate feedback..
