Silksong is the better game, Hollow Knight has a better atmosphere. That's it for me.

My only reason to get this game is gone (campaign). Hopefully everyone will enjoy its multiplayer matches.

PS5 is the way to go. The game looks pretty bad on handheld mode, much worse than the XBox Series S.

There is no way those games aren't going to be game-key cards. Physical is dead on XBox already.

I'm a big fan of his work but not fond of his persona. I'd buy if it was about Platinum Games, but his ego might be big enough to not credit anyone who worked hard in those projects. That's not a book I'd like to have in my shelf.

Putting Megas in this game was a big mistake.

Just remaster the original and call it a day.

Good riddance, anyway.

Hopefully no more questionable design choices in the next entries. Sticker Star annoyed me the most back then. Federation Force, Color Splash, Prime 3, so many games with lots of potential being dragged down by his corporate persona trying to sanitize and trivialize as much as possible.

That said, I wish him the best.

@batmanbud2 I'm glad she's there. The game is now perfect gameplay-wise.

Back when the series had good writing, gameplay and some "soul" in it. GBA games were the peak.

Sol Valley is the worst offender here, the game woul'dve been much better without that empty area.

Just replace Kensuke Tanabe for once.

So glad this is a japanese game. I'll probably get it day one.

@rvcolem1 That's what I love about the series, it's very challeging if you're trying to get the best times, items etc. So much replayability layers in that. The first two games are quite hard but gets more accessible after 3 (the Wii U original was much harder than Deluxe, though).

Please add more save slots. The best Pikmin game ever made! I'd be so happy if this ends up being true.

I've said it many times: Tanabe is the problem.

@EriXz I don't want to be disrespectful or anything, but human resources aren't machines. A lot of people are seeking professional help (and that ratio greatly increased over the years) because our current model is unsustainable, exhausting, stressful, . They're being replaced by cheaper AI alternatives to maximize profits for CEOs, not because "some people brought that to themselves".

Skipping work for no reason is likely the first sign of precarized conditions.

Best Switch 2 game (and one of 2025 best games), but ended up this way. F* this industry.

Fifth Charizard EX, here we go.

@Zeeba Air Riders was a nice surprise.

SEGA's take on upgrades is a nasty move to say the least, just like Square Enix's.

This game truly feels like a 2008 release.

Turning down all the chat and subtitles here as soon as my copy arrives.

Just release an AI-powered game and see what happens. Wasn't Front Mission 3 a complete disaster already?

It's very expensive for what it is and I think I'm done with System 22 games up to this point.

Remember that Death Stranding also got tons of bad reviews for being just that, not for everyone. I'm happy they're still making such games.

That will surely hurt the sales.

A shame they won't change the voice actors.

Butthurt MS can't put a good exclusive software since who knows when.

@JumpingJackson That's already the title for Crisis Core remake, which is canonically part of FFVII:Remake universe. I don't think they would repeat it.

There we go, another game put on hold until patches sort out bugs and performance.

At least that should come out before the Katana Zero DLC that was supposed to complete the game, so...

The isometric movement kinda killed it for me back when a d-pad was the only option, but hopefully we should be able to use the analog sticks.

Ninja Five O, Felix the Cat and Rocket Knight Adventures remain broken IIRC. Limited Run trash, yes, but still not compatible.

It should get worse from here.

Be ready to pay $80 for a copy overseas.

It's barely a month old and they're already adding DLCs.

This game is a masterclass under several aspects, sound design included. It's sad when you think about all the missed opportunities in games with a much larger budget.

Direction and cast were pretty mediocre besides Jack Black as Bowser, what are you expecting to improve? Illumination was producing it the last time I checked.

Just got the Deku Tree a week ago, fantastic set and goes well with my Rivendell diorama.

You can heal 3 HP mid-air, equip rechargeable tools that can deal a lot of damage, have extremely high mobility, double jumps, parries, dash, backstep, multiple crest types that changes your moveset, HP extension items etc etc... but people just refuse to experiment with the tools you're given.

The game is a lot harder than the first entry (except its DLCs, for now), but you character is also much better balanced for the enemies and platforming around you.

I couldn't force myself to finish it. Poor graphics, bad performance, gimmicky gameplay filled with intrusive minigames, you barely spend enough time with a character you like actually fighting enemies, racking up combos etc. It's a perfect example of a bloated game just for the sake of it.

The first two were perfection.

So, tell me, how many digital Wii, DS, Wii U and 3DS games you still have access to purchase and play?

That's the point.

I have like 3 exclusive games and there's not much to look for.

Indie games used to be about independent development. Pricing was never the first thing to worry about. Of course indie "companies" are going to complain.

Nothing special about it, and the fact LRG hurt the release window, there is no excuse to give them any money right now. A 50% off sale is what I'm going to wait for.

Who would have guessed?

Hopefully they won't apply so many restrictions to map/navigation/fast travel this time. The first one was fantastic but not many people were able to complete it due to having an extremely obtuse level design.

Why is it so hard to properly optimize games? There should be a performance mode.

I still prefer the B for jumping but that makes a lot of sense.

The kind of game that should either have been free to play or bundled with another game/system. It won't sell.
