@fafonio I think that Fire Emblem are better games but that they need to take slightly longer between games (Three Houses story didn't fit for me). Agreed that these games are excellent however and hope they become successful enough that WayForward get to make their own game
@the_beaver You know all reviews are opinions, right? Impartiality doesn't really exist. it's not about trusting a site it's about making a decision using your own nouse about the information you read on the internet.
It makes me worry for every one of the 23 million people that follow this clown. I still remember his so-called apology video years back and it clearly hasn't clown him down.
Maybe take the Iphone approach and just call it a Switch 2. It won't happen but it's nice to dream. If it doesn't happen, Switch & Knuckles is the dream
Bought it last year on the Japanese e-shop. It is good but not great. The London 2012 game was far deeper and this is much more arcadey. Online mode is pretty dead but it's alright fun.
Generations on Switch would be pretty great. It is probably the greatest game and I always wondered why they left that format to go on to Lost World, Boom and Forces
The game is on mobile phones. Smells iffy to me. And, by the by, reporting on rumours is part of being a journalist. You can't just wear blinkers and pretend to ignore leaks and rumours. If you don't like it, maybe don't click on it when it clearly says 'RUMOUR'
I like the Stadia idea but I think Google have half-arsed it. They only just put in a search bar and they don't have a library that is big enough to warrant the subscription model. I will say the idea of video game streaming is sound and will grow over time, but they need to understand what consumers want in a way that Google haven't. (I.e. Charging full price for games when the model works best with the subscription idea).
11 and 9 are both amazing. 9 is probably my favourite, followed by 11, 8, 5, 6 and 4. The rest are sort of together as a pretty good lump. My favourite RPG's without any doubt and I wish it got as much press as Final Fantasy in the West.
Worldwide MMO would be cool. Other than that, DQ12 feels inevitable but would kill for a remake of DQ9 to the Switch, probably the best game in the series.
@Lukandon The Atelier Series is a much more laid back series of RPG's; usually focusing on wonder and mystery instead of world-ending threats. I get why the reviewer called this a con but to some, simplistic storytelling is a good thing.
I just like the concept of giving these games DLC. I find it genuinely hilarious that you can get extra maps for cluedo and extra 'content' for the Game of Life. What a world we live in
I mean, I would love to buy it but... That price... It's why I haven't bought the first one on Switch. It's RRP is $14.99 on Steam and is constantly on sale. I don't really think up-rezzing a gamecube game is going to add much so why is it $29.99. It's just too much, man.
Got to say, despite never playing the first game, very excited to play this. I have always enjoyed Pokemon spinoffs and this looks like it will be as good as I want it to be.
Recently bought V-Rally 4 for Switch and think that is pretty great. Of course, these games would be better with analogue triggers but I'll probably pick this up eventually
I like the idea but... Darn. Great potential just wasted by making the game too simple. If the movement feels bad in a platformer, the developers have made a mistake.
Not a Nintendo property but I would consider Ghost of Tsuhisma one of my favourite games of all time without actually finishing it. I think forcing yourself to finish a game can actually ruin the experience. I forced myself to finally finish Skyrim before Christmas and it just became a dull grind. People game in different ways and that should be okay.
Have it on Ps4. Played an hour. It's great but I couldn't deal with my Ps4 sounding like a 747 so decided to wait for the Switch version. Happy it's coming so soon.
I like the demo. By that I mean, I can see a lot of potential. I hope they can fix the obvious issues like the running speed and the overly simplified costumes. Even if they delay it. Please delay it.

Re: Bullseye (Yes, The '80s British Gameshow) Brings Darts And Trivia To Switch Soon
If this makes the Nintendo Direct I will burst out laughing. I enjoy darts and enjoy bullseye but we all know what sort of game this is.

Really happy I can understand Japanese so I could just switch stream. I get that the English presenters are trying but... wow

I like the visuals.

Another bad game to join the collection. Nice.
Re: Switch Is Getting A Brand New Peppa Pig Game This Autumn
It's really sad that I want to buy this just to tell people I own the Peppa Pig Switch game.
Re: Talking Point: When Was The Last Time A Game Cracked Your Top Five?
1. Fire Emblem Awakening
2. Stella Glow
3. Zelda BOTW
4. Ghost of Tsushima
5. Monster Hunter Rise or The Witcher 3
Hard to pick a top 5 and this changes constantly but The top 2 always seem to stay the same
Re: Poll: What's The Best Dragon Quest Game?

Re: Poll: The Famicom Detective Club Games Are Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting Them?
I want a physical version and I'm going to hold off for a while just hoping they will release one. Happy they're releasing such a niche title though.
Re: Dragon Quest 35th Anniversary Stream Will Reveal New Game Information
@BlackenedHalo Strongly disagree but games are subjective, innit.

Re: Review: Atelier Mysterious Trilogy Deluxe Pack - A Nicely Crafted RPG Marathon
@Rutkowski87 You could just go to a different site and let the people who enjoy this one, you know, enjoy it.
Re: Review: Atelier Mysterious Trilogy Deluxe Pack - A Nicely Crafted RPG Marathon
@Lukandon Exactly like it.

Re: Review: Poison Control - Entertaining To A Point, But Lacking Where It Counts
I mean. I'm buying it but that's because I have a problem, not because this looks excellent. Style might bring it through for some.
Re: Review: Moorhuhn Kart 2 - A Poultry Offering
Seems apt it released on April 1st

Re: Review: Harvest Moon: One World - A Poor Imitation Of A Once-Great Series
A little surprising as I was reading better things about this. Shame really

Re: Wonder Boy - Asha In Monster World Director Explains Why He Chose That Divisive 2.5D Art Style

Re: Poll: Do You Like The Chibi Art Style In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl?
I like the artstyle. I get why others don't but at least those who don't have the Arceus Legends games to get hyped about.
Re: Sinnoh Confirmed: Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl Officially Announced For Switch
I like the artstyle... Might not be popular but I don't mind it. It's a nice callback to the ds days. I prefer it to sword and shield.
Re: Kill It With Fire Lets You Murder Spiders With Excessive Force On Switch Next Month
Uninterested in the game. Subheading however, hilarious.

Re: Soapbox: It’s Time For A Pokémon Trading Card Game Reboot On Switch

You may be right. But that has taken over 20 years. Don't expect anything is the mindset I have these days
