Not sure if this is a critique, or just an observation, but the characters look so large compared to the real estate of the screens. Are those images cropped or is that how it is in the game?

I lived through this era, even before it (pre Atari 2600), and that still looks rough

@PlatinumTour The fact people are still buying Xboxes, even in double digit numbers, is more amazing. That is definitely a sinking ship. Maybe they pull a comeback like Nintendo did with Switch after Wii U but their leadership in the gaming division needs a complete overhaul, first.

I couldn't really get into it, in single player mode. It came with my system but I barely played it. I'm sure it would be a hit at a gathering but I miss the days of Diddy Kong Racing and story adventure mode. The exploration mode in MKW is a miss to me and could have been much more. :/

The only game I've heard of on that list, and played none of them. Mark me safe.

Nintendo immediately filed a cease and desist

Started out as the best patch notes Nintendo had ever produced then ended in "other improvements"

@Deege Makes it more stable

FULL patch notes from Nintendo, that'll be the day. I knew this was just going to be some mumbo jumbo crap before I read the "article"
"General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience"....indeed
Imagine taking your vehicle in for maintenance and asking them after what they did:
We made it more stable

This screams I got a lot of disposable income

@beltmenot Jim, Kirbaphboia is real. Millions of people suffer from it every year!

Switch 2 titles aren't really a large swath, right now. Two racing games in that catalog, is probably too much. I would be curious if it eventually gets a Christmas (boxing day?) bump?

@shiningpikablu252 That seems like an obvious observation

@cedarhyped No foresight but previews, so far, sure do make me pause, a bit. I love being wrong, in the right way, about a game. Maybe it's the "second coming" of Metroid, but I'm convinced, yet.

I'm going to wait on reviews for this game. I hope I'm wrong but the previews aren't exactly screaming day one buy, for me, and I love the traditional Metroid series.

@rvcolem1 Not much of anything

@TripleJump Mario Kart World needed a single player story-driven type campaign. (A la Diddy Kong Racing)
It seemed completely setup for it and nope, they didn't even try. Free roam isn't really any fun, at least to me. It's pointless wandering.

@Bizzyb That's not even a decision. Xillia is the obvious choice.

Too much cringe ASMR

I feel like already played an upgraded version of this game. Maybe I'm imagining it or it wasn't that dated to begin with?

The sewer areas made me wish the main game had more different environment locations. Not sure I want to pay an extra $30 to see that, though.

Mouse controls were a solution looking for a problem

@the_beaver Make a game in your language?

@TheExile285 Until he gets to the Eldin Temple

Guy spying missed a perfect "Hey! Listen" moment

@SirLink You give them too much credit

My biggest takeaway, is the dock can be used with other handhelds. Not implementing an industry standard feature, is very Nintendo, not blocking other uses, is very un-Nintendo.
Not that I suspected that it wasn't anything but a fancy USB-C dock, just surprised it works with anything else.

I literally thought Bowser said I'll burn the sh1t off ur balls. Geez...

@FrenchVaniIIuxe Not even sure what that means, they speak and understand multiple languages better?

Seems spoilery, so I didn't read the list Maybe it's obvious from the beginning of the game, but seems like the plot of most Pokemon games is discovery. Maybe this spinoff is different

@sketchturner I think that word seems to have taken a different game-related meaning but it's still going to be a trailer direct from Nintendo. Guess that's the point. As opposed to being released through 3rd party marketing.

@ShadLink I got 50+ hours in and found one, on accident. REminds me of my fishing skills, I love fishing but fish don't like me. My dad, on the other hand, he made fishing look easy

@nothankyou Right. Thought it just say fixed a few nunyas

I got way to much ADHD to play one of these Warriors games. I tried before. Sensory overload.

I'm almost rank A and I got nothing near that 163 level Pokemon he was fighting. >-< Time to put some work in. Gotta train 'em all

Well TBF, it's the consumers that keep driving these sales.
Problem is there is so much crapware, and even AAA flops coupled with games become much more expensive, people are weary of testing waters outside of their comfort zone.
Though, I do think games like Black Myth Wukong, Clair Obscur and Stellar Blade helped proved a good game, even without a household name, will sell.

@Gamer_Griff An hour of gameplay from Metroid 4 would garner complaints of spoilers but to directly answer your question, November 14th is the expected date of more of an inside look from most gaming website

I just don't get why they didn't modernize the interface and battle system. I couldn't get past that in the III remake. Really no reason to remake it, at that point. I know I'll catch crap for that, but it's a very tedious ancient system, IMO, and better left in the past. (It's funny the main trailer for III remake, never shows the battle interface, not once.)

What's the list without upgraded games from last gen?

Remakes, upgrades. This past decade probably has had more of that then new IP. I don't remember a generation of gaming where it was this bad, or good, however you see it.

@Lord People love anything that has been built up to just be knocked down. I haven't played it yet, and maybe these criticisms are warranted but I doubt anyone picked up a Pokemon game and thought I can't wait for the witty banter with NPCs.

@IronMan30 You've never played P5R or do you mean a second time? I envy anyone who is playing P5R for the first time

@N00BiSH A Nintendo lawyer walks into a bar....

Leave it to Nintendo to mind fsck you

@Indielink Nothing even close to being physical(ish). More Steam code(ish)

I think fans put way more thought into these things than the developers ever will. It's a Donkey Kong world, and they are also just living in it.

@Nailz It will probably perform just fine, with about 5x less graphical settings baked into the Switch 2 version

@Multi Yeah, I guess it's game related, but contracts come and go all of the time. A contract, by its very nature, has a beginning and an end. My heart goes out to people displaced, but this happens all of the time.

@CupidStunt That's pretty much standard service, these days. If you have to talk to a person, 9 out of 10 times, you are screwed.

I'm really hoping that was just lost in translation. If not, it might be the dumbest comment from the gaming industry in the last decade.
