Too expensive for a DLC, but might grab it on a discount.

@OmnitronVariant Well, for starters, your comment wasn't about people thinking he was a great dev but a great guy, which is a big difference. Also, sure, you don't have to like everything about someone to respect him, but the thing is that no one is asking for a saint, just not a bad person. Considering what the dude has advocated for he falls on that category.

If you want to separate his games from his views that's fine, but again that's not what you originally mentioned.

@OmnitronVariant That doesn't even make sense as they are talking about how he recognized sales were terrible, not if it's gonna sell more on Switch 2... However, this leap of logic might explain how someone would think that Blow is a great guy, so carry on I guess.

Oh boy Braid is now running at 120 fps! Anyway...

I love these games and I enjoyed the demo but they are a bit too short for my taste so I'd probably grab it with a small discount.

@NolandC Just because the reception on a Nintendo site is positive and is different from your personal score doesn't mean there's bias. People prioritize different aspects to judge a game and reviews, as objective as they try to be, end up always being a matter of the reviewer's perspective. The game looks gorgeous, runs flawlessly, it seems to have really good gameplay and while it seems to lack single player content compared to other games, it seems to offer a great multiplayer experience. Mario Kart 8 was the same and people still consider it one of the best games on Switch and was praised in reviews.

@NolandC The comments are based in what the reviewer is saying about the single player as almost no one has it on their hands yet.

As for bias... I guess that you mean that a site focused on Nintendo games enjoys Nintendo games?

@The_Nintendo_Expat Not taking any side, but from my understanding the problem isn't how much would the reviewer rate it without counting the controversy, but why would he rate it a 7 in that case when the review sounds more positive than that and only has one negative aspect mentioned according to the user you are addressing. It seems that more than one point was removed because of it if that's the case. Again, according to the person from what I'm understanding.

Personally I don't have an opinion on the game as I haven't played it, but if combat is improved and it's "downside" is too much content, I'd say that it does sound like it should score higher and that the controversy and likeability of a character seems to be impacting the review's score too much when compared to the reception of previous entries.

Knew it was coming, glad that I waited.

This is a really cool surprise. Definitely interested.

@Theghostofkeithmoon That's the source of his power

@TrueBlueYoshi In our hearts, cherished forever.

@Bass_X0 That depends on the content that is removed/changed. From what I've seen people do complain about the pacing of this game so removing or improving the pacing on certain parts might be beneficial for it.

@Tempestryke I can't say, I didn't try it...

Ok, ok, I did lol. It just on the customization screen, but you can even customize that part.

@NintonicGamer Pretty much. Meanwhile, my character's ding dong is right there while I'm playing Cyberpunk.

I'm interested in the gameplay but the roster looks kinda boring.

Another beat'em up from Dotemu that is a guaranteed hit. I'll try to get it on day one.

I've been interested in trying this game for a long time but never got it. Next discount might be a good moment to finally buy it.

@darkswabber Yeah... no

FF 3 on #1 and 8 so far behind...

Yeah this is certainly not a list I can agree with.

The game looks nice and I really like platformers but for some reason I really dislike Bubsy as a character. His design doesn't appeal to me at all.

@Anti-Matter I'd take 60 fps whenever I can but I really don't think that it's that important in most games and Animal Crossing is definitely one of those. Usually when it matters it's for competitive gameplay and to be honest most people don't even play at an advanced level on their games to the point of 30 vs 60 fps making such a difference, they just like to think they do.

60 fps is nice, yes. And if someone wants to only play games that run like that they are free to do so, but personally I'd say it's such a waste because there really isn't that many games that do on Switch/Switch 2. A stable framerate, even at 30 gives quite a smooth experience that should be enough for most individuals without any specific condition.

I'd say that if people really care that much about frame rate, maybe you shouldn't be choosing a portable device as their console. Not that there won't be games that do run great, but it's likely that there be more that suffer compromises.

I've been missing to play this game for a while now but I was done with my island. I'm really happy that this update happened.

@MathByThePixel That's Mass Effect for me. Everyday I pray for a Switch port....

Watch them add and sell War of the Lions after the excuse that they said to not include it.

I wish him the best of luck. Never played FF lX but I heard good things about it.

@Vyacheslav333 Yup, I think it's called Happy Souls.

@TheWokesterGamer Hey, for your information it's FOUR of us! There used to be 5, but Larry was hit by a blimp yesterday...

I didn't find problems with the "kinda" open world for it like others, at least not in the same way. My actual problem with it is that the biomes should be the areas with more exploration. My other gripe is that the bike's perspective is on third person instead of first, which feels kinda weird as Prime games are more immersive thanks to it. Aside from that, I'm really enjoying it. I think I have completed 2/3 from the game but we'll see. It's still great despite of my gripes and it was hard that any game could live to the expectation after such a long time.

Good, but I never play on docked mode.

Hopefully it runs better. I do want the game but the demo's performance and what was shown on reviews was disappointing.

I've never been a fan of these designs but I'm glad for the people that like them.

I still can't believe that I'm playing as Nova on a Beat'em up about the Annihilation event. It makes me so happy.

Oh wow I can finally play Skyrim on Switch 2 almost as well as I did on Switch 1!

Nah but seriously, this shouldn't have been a thing. At least it looks better so that's a good thing. Hopefully more games get Switch 2 upgrades.

I'm usually positive about new games arriving but I checked many videos about this one and it looks boring. I'm more interested in Fallout 4.

I hope that they eventually include a new character or more.

I heard about this game some time ago and got interested, so I'm definitely getting it as long as it's a decent port.

@Apogee90 They didn't mention it because it didn't happen to them. Check the other comments, many others haven't had any issues or just had minor ones. Not invalidating your complaint, but it's understandable that it's most likely that the reviewers didn't experience that.

This is the best turned based shooter trailer I've ever seen.

Nah but seriously I really hope that the fps are better in the actual game. I like Starship Troopers so I'd be interested if it runs well.

Yatch Club has been doing a great job with their games so they definitely have my support.

Just by looking at some of the comments, it seems that the Metroid tradition of people talking themselves out getting the game to then complain about not having more Metroid games will still be going on. Anyway, I pre-ordered it and will form my own opinion. Great review Ollie.

I've been playing it and it's causing a great impression. Difficulty is accessible but I wouldn't call it boring despite of also enjoying harder games. I actually had some problems against a certain boss once I progressed a few levels. I'm loving the dialogues and the backgrounds and levels in general are more dynamic than in Shredder's Revenge. Nova's voice actor did a great job. Him and Cosmic Ghost Rider have been quite fun to use and I love that they interact a bit with each other.

@Shiryu Megaton is a fantastic game. It's painful to see that it went under the radar despite of being what I'd consider the best mecha game on Switch.

I just expect a stable port that isn't too compromised. It's a pretty demanding game even for current consoles and PC.

I'm going to get this game on day 1. Having Nova and Cosmic Ghost Rider in a beat'em up is something that I didn't think I'd live to see.

It's a shame seeing the negativity surrounding this game. Everyone's entitled to their opinion and if a lot of gamers don't like PvP that's fine, but personally I think the reason why I'm not of the "games used to be better on my days" crowd as well as being constantly negative is because I managed to diversify the types of games I play. If it does badly I really doubt that we'll see more projects like this trying something unique for Switch 2 that isn't Nintendo, but I have faith that there's enough people interested despite of not being popular on this site. Seeing what they did with Nightreign , I think that this game will manage to achieve a good balance between exploration, combat and co-operative gameplay.

@Rainz Funny.

Anyway, can't wait to play the game next week.

Finally! I really enjoy this game, it's just a shame that it's so overlooked on Switch despite of being a fantastic port.

Not on release, but probably later.

@Luigia Ah, sorry for the late reply. Absolum is more story driven and there's also a lot more replayability. Every round will unlock new stuff, as in new bosses, npcs, interactions, places to see, etc. It really has a lot to discover and do, specially by beat'em up standards. As for combat, punches feel as good as in SOR4, but this game is more focused on learning how to defend from attacks by dashing on time to counter them. Learning to do builds is also important and quite fun as you are constantly learning the synergy between different abilities.
