I was initially unimpressed but a closer look at these screenshots leave me much more optimistic. Sure, I know the framerate won't be amazing but it looks like a step up from Sword and Shield.
@Fairburne prior entries are fine but much better on other systems.
Splitscreen isn't coming to he switch version, according to their website anyway. Great series but just isn't viable on switch without adaptive triggers for throttle and braking
I'm not a massive fan of huge corporations (because of course) but I understand why buying a game studio can be both good and bad. Honestly, just for the potential positives that come with it, I would like to see a closer relationship between Sega and Nintendo but people willing a company to buy out another one is bizarre. Maybe instead of buying a company, an exclusivity contract could be struck or something. I dunno. It's a weird world now, man.
My problem with these reimaginings of Nintendo games in Unreal Engine is that they sort of become bland and soulless. I mean it looks pretty but I'd take a low resolution BOTW style game over the bland Skyrim-like Unreal engine any day.
My headline on this game would be it's fun but boy is it ugly. The gameplay is decent and sort of reminds me of a 3d version of Pokémon ranger. But man, this game is painful to look at, to the extent that I doubt I'll finish it. Massive shame really
I actually started replaying this game the other day and it holds up remarkably well. I remember setting a time on the Wuhu track in time trials and my brother was amazed that I was going so fast. Good memories.
It's a decent game... on PS4. But yeah, I just cant get behind racing games on the switch because of the controller. Arcade racers or bust on the switch, methinks
I feel mixed about these games. They are all good rpg's. But the Switch one in particular felt too old school for me. Like really boring by the end. Turned based combat is good but the amount of time and effort to reach the true ending is draining, man. Still, I'd probably buy more Bravely games so my criticism doesn't really matter.
I wanted to like it but they destroyed the controls. No amount of characters of courses could fix this for me. A shame, because there is a lot of good in the game.
@SwitchForce Okay. Just giving my opinion. I'm not selling my switch and I still like it for what it is. Just ready to move onto something else. Don't see how that makes me a troll.
Well, after being one of the biggest supporters of the Switch to this point, after about 4 years, I have finally sort of got sick of the console and moved to the PS5; with only the odd exclusive resulting me in picking up the switch. I'm just a bit bored of it all now. But, I'm glad others are still finding joy from this console. it certainly has its perks
@Znake Don't be daft. This guys opinion was that this game was worth a 6/10 so respect that. There is no such things as an objective review. This guy writes well and just because his opinions differ to yours, doesn't mean you should call for his head. Grow up man.
I started playing again as soon as the direct airs and this game still has legs. Bonkers how much is in the game already before this mega patch and DLC. Happy to jump back in for the next few months
I am happy to find other people who have finally ascended and understand that this game is the best of the best. Granted, I haven't played a bad AA game but Apollo felt like it added so much compared to the first 3, it just felt fresh and Trucy remains my favourite character.
I was surprised that they dispatched my copy for this price. I only ordered because a Team Knowhow member (Curry's customer service team) commented on some tweets. Pretty stoked to get it so cheap.
It's a bad game with potential. It makes me want Platinum to have another crack at the series. Hopefully in a way which isn't another remake/reimagining of the same Star Fox story they've recycled for 25 years
@RobbySuave The game to be better. That's the problem when you like a series that fails to live up to your past favourites. It's a fine game that just feels barren and rushed. If this gets the Kirby treatment, it will end up great. If this gets the Mario Tennis treatment then it doesn't really change barring some new characters and maybe a course or two. I'm not trying to hate on the game for no reason, this just isn't enough for me to pick it up again

Re: Mario Strikers: Battle League Kicks Off On Switch This Summer
I liked the old games but this trailer made the game look bland. Still hopeful but looks like the same game as was on the wii. Hoping fore more.

Re: Japanese Magazine Nintendo Dream Might Be Teasing A New Game
Yeah, the Japanese writing actually says 'sorry if this doesn't happen' after the statement so this is far from a certainty.
Re: Soapbox: Nintendo Pocket Football Club Really Needs A Sequel On Switch
You speak the truth. The game was a fun time waster. It would probably go down better on mobile but I'd love a return to this game.

My boy Polly in the centre where he belongs. They know he is the real star.

Re: Playtonic's Original Yooka-Laylee Game Is Getting A Follow-Up Title
Both Yooka games have their own pros and cons. And with some more money and experience, there is no reason a new 3D game cant be great

Re: Review: Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl - A Middling Pair Of Remakes
A middling pair of games in a review written by Jordan Middler. I... I love coincidences like this.
(Despite the problems, it's still Pokemon and people will still eat it up).

Monster Hunter Rise is my game of the year.

Re: Shin Megami Tensei V Gets Day One Paid DLC And Digital Deluxe Edition
Such is the state of the modern day video game industry, Disappointing yet expected
Re: Nascar Heat Ultimate Edition+ Speeds Onto Switch Next Month
Decent game. Wouldn't play it on switch though. not arcadey enough to play without the triggers
Re: Talking Point: Do You Have A 'Way' You Play Certain Switch Games?
I play on the rooftop because that's what the cool kids do
Re: Soapbox: Why Apollo Justice Might Be The Best Ace Attorney Game
I am happy to find other people who have finally ascended and understand that this game is the best of the best. Granted, I haven't played a bad AA game but Apollo felt like it added so much compared to the first 3, it just felt fresh and Trucy remains my favourite character.
Re: Capcom Launches Ace Attorney 20th Anniversary Website
I'd like AA7 but something completely new would be cool too; maybe in the vein of the Layton X AA spinoff
Re: Poll: What's The Best Ace Attorney Game?
Apollo Justice is number 1. No contest for me.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Arceus Won't Actually Be An Open-World Game
I knew it! Step by step I suppose. Could still be a good spinoff though.
Re: Metroid Dread: All Energy Tanks Locations
@Zanzox It gives players who want help an option. Choice is a good thing

Re: Cricket 22 Will Aim To Bowl Us Over On Switch Next Year
I mean, this is good news but Cricket 19 ran pretty badly on Switch. Got to hope they optimise it better or I might just buy it on Ps5
Re: EA Is Considering Dropping The 'FIFA' Name In Favour Of Something New
I already call it EA Football game. Sounds like a plan.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise Has Now Shipped Over 7.5 Million Units
Probably the most impressive game on Switch. The first Monster Hunter game that clicked for me and I think the PC version will be popular too.
Re: Konami Competition Tasks Indie Devs With Reviving Its Classic IP
Good. This is good news. Goemon's return is imminent.
Re: A New Kirby Game Just Leaked On Nintendo Japan's Website

Re: Metroid Dread: Here's A Closer Look At The Deadly Areas You'll Explore On Planet ZDR
This will be the first Metroid game I have bought. They have done a stand-out job of marketing this game to appeal to more than just the core fans
Re: Platinum Would "Definitely" Port Star Fox Zero To Switch, If Given The Opportunity

Wasnt going to buy it but now I'm sold.
Re: Review: Sonic Colors Ultimate - The Best 3D Sonic Game Gets A Respectable Remaster
It's probably controversial to call this the best 3d Sonic game but glad the port/ remaster is passable.
Re: Talking Point: How Much Would You Pay For A Mint Copy Of Super Mario Bros.?
I'd pay rrp. Games are for playing.
Re: Feature: Our Verdict On Mario Golf: Super Rush's 2.0 Update, Including Ranked Matches And New Donk City

Still doesn't really fix my lack of content problem but I'm sure some people will be happy with this.
Re: In Just Five Days, Mario Golf: Super Rush Became The Second Best-Selling Game In The Series
A shame because it is by far the worst one... I bought it and regret adding to these figures.
Re: New Pokémon Snap Is Getting More Areas And Pokémon In Free Update
