Nintendolife, you shouldnt cross-post from "X". You see, it's run by a nazi. Probably best to abandon it.

the original gungeon is one of my favorite games of all time. there are very few games that would make me drop everything I'm doing and play it on day one, I'm not that kind of gamer, but this sequel will be one of them.

I have such a huge backlog of games to play but this is almost enough for me to buy MM2.....i put a ton of time into MM1 on WiiU but i think i just want to play well designed levels, rather than making them...

@Sega69X i guess you're right.

@SpookyCat I love that you dropped this comment in here like No Big Deal, i just made the game itself. You rule.

playing now. my first time ever. the load times to join a match is wildly slow. LIke 3+ minutes or longer---maybe even 5 minutes. maybe its midday EST so not a ton of people home and downloading but if this is crossplay i'd expect it to be MUCH faster matchmaking.

I was outside this building in 2017. It was closed and dingy and sad. At least they've preserved it in a unique way, since Nintendo wasnt doing anything with it!

Its pretty fun, but beforewarned, the multiplayer online is BROKEN and will crash. We were unable to save progress playing as a team. but otherwise, the game makes me laugh. its fun.

Mavis Beacon Types Her Way into the fight

I visited there in 2017 and this is a true loss. JPN arcades arent exactly what im looking for (i.e. retro classics) but i still adore the bladerunner vibe of a 6+floor arcade neon paradise.

I play it every day while exercising. I'm about to crack the top 5000 worldwide leaderboard! (currently at #5089!)

I was using WiiU for Netflix until this month when i heard it was closing. Loved the tablet interface and the range was JUST enough that i could use it in the kitchen as a second screen. Sucks its over. But i cant believe we dont have it on switch yet. BRING NETFLIX TO SWITCH, why are we still waiting?

Sonic ends up finally settling on an apartment he finds on Zillow.com and celebrates with takeout from The Olive Garden.

That first movie was so awful, i wouldnt be surprised if the new film was strictly advertisements the whole time.

Buyer beware

@MatoFilipovic it was awful, confirmed---and i had low expectations going into it. It's worse than i even expected.

this movie was so bad that even my friends who have bad taste in movies said "wow, that was awful".

do not waste your time on this....it's really ridiculously terrible.

this thread is amazing. uplifting hilariousness

That box art is awesome. I've just recently been playing a LOT of F-Zero GX and its an amazing Nintendo (+Sega dev) game. The amount of goofy anime style characters (and especially the cut scene interviews when you win) are just....so Nintendo. One of the most challenging first party titles i've ever played from N, and really hoping Switch gets a new F-Zero now.

Loving these 2020 lists---great work Nintendolife.

Might i suggest, a quarterly (or at least bi-annual) list of the "hidden gems" we miss? These are an invaluable service to readers and the devs.

Just wanted to add a warning, December 2020: friend and i got this for Switch to play together. We've been having MANY software crashes, and its starting to seem like the game might not be playable in multiplayer.

It crashes whenever we complete a mission and the game tries to save the file. It crashes to switch homescreen.

It seems like it might run better in singleplayer offline mode, but, we were hoping to play it two-player together. Be warned, it may not work. We've had to redo several missions to get the save to work, and some side-quests seem to be impossible to complete, because we can never escape the mission and save without a crash.

otherwise, the game seems really fun, honestly.

that is truly awesome. what a great deep cut. thanks for finding this.

they may well be compelled to keep delaying this as long as possible in order to "refresh" the title---i.e. prime the market of people who already bought it on other consoles, give them enough time between releases (of the same game) and then get that whole new second wave of first time players, PLUS the people who just need it on switch. I.E. give em time off, and ensure a second sale.

Yo, where Jackie Chan at right now?

Reject cloud gaming. Im not paying $40 to rent a game. If it was cheap ($10?), ok. But for the cost of a full game, you should own it.

If we dont reject this trend, you're going to end up spending $$$$ for the privilege of renting games.

Physical---or download ownership---for life.

Oh man....i always love to joke that LSL is my pick for Smash, just behind Purple Tentacle.

I played the original game as a kid, hiding the discs from my parents (who would never have known what LSL was anyway). Outside of the rapey aspect, still have fondness for the old slimey dude.

No thanks, i want to own the games i buy.

Also, this game looks really boring.

no thanks to cloud gaming. I want to own my games. not pay to rent.

Based on some articles, it seems to imply online vs. friends is possible.

But the deal breaker is motion controls (i.e. can you use joycon like a cue)?

If it doesnt have motion controls, im not interested (rare to say that, right?)

Enter The Gungeon is perhaps my favorite game of the past 10 years. Or at least in contention. The very idea that this masterpiece costs less than $10 is a travesty.

I recommend buying it at least 3 times to show your love, future (past?) gungeoneers

got my Mario Cement Factory mini-cab sitting right next to me. Always wanted to collect the others (Snoopy, Popeye, etc) but the $$ outweighs the real life value for me. Ah if i was rich....

@WickedUnicarnBoi hating on fortnite is a popular pastime for many gamers, and i agree, ignore the pop-hate. Its silly to hate on games just because they dont appeal to you. I'm an adult gamer who's played about 200 hrs of FN and think it's amazing. I've also beaten Dark Souls without a guide, and finished Enter The Gungeon. But i guess im a casual scumbag for liking FN. ;']

@AlbertXi they are repairing it for free. it took less than 2 weeks for mine (just got it done). It isnt worth a lawyer--or even the emotional stress. Its a joystick. They mail it and repair it for free. Case closed.

The key will be if they can nail the Monster Movie B- humor/vibe, and if the game "feels" like the original. I sometimes dont love when a 16 bit game is translated into modern graphics (ducktales 8bit remaster for example)---it somehow fundamentally changes the experience, sometimes (not always) for the worse.

Get the humor right, and especially that soundtrack, maybe we'll be in business.

Can anyone confirm---will the game be playable ONLINE for co-op missions and campaign? I played a TON of this on WiiU, and am reluctant to rebuy it. But if we could have ONLINE support for the challenge mode (the co-op challenges are really tough, and you basically need a second player) i might consider it......with COVID, i dont see much Couch Co Op in my future.....

The original movie was so intolerably awful, i recommend avoiding any possible viewing of this sequel.

I know its a movie for kids, but, kids movies dont need to be this lazy and mind-numbing. See pixar for more information.

@mattesdude look into getting a Flashboy. I have one. Its a ROM card. There are a lot of interesting homebrews available at Planet Virtualboy (quality varies) but also will save you $$$ on buying Jack Bros or Waterworld (i own both, but the Flashboy is far cheaper).

I own a working VB and many of the games above. I can say,

1. the rumors about headaches and eye strain are very overrated (I've never had a headache after 1+ hour of playtime) and eyes sometimes feel funny for like, maybe 2 minutes, after a long session. Like i was staring at something too close to me. Notthing major.

Teleroboboxer is hard as heck but similar to Punch Out---and should be higher on the list. Its far more ambitious and interesting than, say, Bowling.

i am grinning ear to ear. I've been fortunate enough to go to Japan, and can definitely say, if i saw this while i was there, it would have been amazing, but only "one more thing" among all the wild amazing stuff you see every day.

**Note, just realized this is in Taiwan, but my original comment's underlying truth still stands.

Fair. But the UK has had their own BLM protests and involvement too, so its not like we're debating something that the whole world isnt watching. There has been worldwide support of the issue I brought up...only in USA would it be controversial to suggest cops shouldnt beat innocent people....but hey, sure, agreed to cease fire. Thumbs up

@SkullDragr I adore me some videogame violence NO DOUBT. But thats sort of the point. Keep it in the games! I think? we all agree--cops, nor looters--should be using it in real life, neither on innocent store owners, or innocent people, protesters, or POC. Can we agree on that?

@SkullDragr @PoorGeno Seems like one of skulldragr's comments was either modded or deleted. You were asking about my age. I'm definitely older than you--saw Empire Strikes Back in the theater, for example (original run, yes). I also live in a major USA city where the violence of looters was within blocks of my house (i dont support this) and also less than 4 miles from where multiple videos show cops beating innocent protesters, including a white college student who was standing and shouting when they were hit with a police baton (all on camera--cop has now been removed from duty pending investigation) and also where we've had 2 major incidents where media has documented cops befriending armed white militia-types who are confronting/attacking BLM protesters.

It's real. You can pretend it isnt, but it is. FWIW, I'm white, and I support police reform AND the need for police. And i also support BLM, and I also support free speech for everyone.

I'd settle it in smash. But it would seem a bit ironic, since violence isnt actually the answer.

@SkullDragr LOL "videos or it didnt happen". If you are actually ignorant to the level of videos and documentation circulating re: police beating innocent protesters, im not wasting my time on you. Try googling "police beating non violent protesters". Solved.

Or stay ignorant. Its a free country.

@SkullDragr keep drinking the faux news dude

i live in a city where protests turned violent, and at the same time, videos of cops beating completely peaceful protesters were rampant. Also cops high fiving and shaking hands with armed white mobs. Didnt believe it myself until i saw it. Police reform is a real need. Its more complicated than parroting faux news "antifa antifa squalk" or blaming stuff you dont understand. Its not as simple as "defund police" OR blame Antifa. And even bringing up BLM shows ignorance. BLM isnt the violence or the problem.

Police reform is a real issue and requires action. Just blaming the 1% of violent idiots and dismissing the issue is ignorant.

Bad timing if it happens to be the Cop and Dog, just saying

(actually loved playing as them, but in fairness, they didnt beat up peaceful protesters)

Ive gotten back into it during the corona. Game is fun, regardless of the hate it gets. Playing quads or duos with my buddies has provided a lot of LOLs and funny moments.

I would definitely buy Dark Souls 2 and 3 on switch. Bring it on. Finished part 1 a couple months back---the game is one of the most interesting games in the last decade.

Make sure you update your RL game ahead of time, if you havent logged in for a while, the updates can be hefty and time consuming.

@Ragdoll72 Apologies if offended, sincerely. You did reply to me saying, "Not sure why so many people hate it, then why did they watch it?"

I guess i assumed that replying to my comment, and asked why i watched it, made me think that you were actually asking for a reply.

Sincere apologies.

@Ragdoll72 I watched it, personally, because the reviews were mixed (hard to determine if it was good or bad) and i am part of a videogame podcast and wanted to report on it.

Keep in mind, Kids arent a good gauge of whether a film is good. They dont have critical distance/experience to know whether Pixar vs. awful film like Sonic are good/bad. They digest everything they are exposed to. Meanwhile, adults can recongize (say, Pixar) as great--and we need not pretend things like Sanic are anything other than a cash grab....

Each one of us has a billion skeletons in the closet from childhood--media we liked, and now (hopefully) have the intelligence to reevaluate.

I respect that you thought it was fun--but in objective, critical terms, it was absolutely awful. So many moments that could have been funny, undermined by lazy/nonexistent jokes and writing/ script that was obviously glued together from multiple drafts. Even Carrey couldnt carry it.

I am a fan of many awful films, fwiw--the key is knowing when it is bad. Just because one enjoys something doesnt make it critically good.

This movie was so awful....beyond embarrassing. Olive Garden paid promotion (2x)...script felt like it was a mishmash of ideas and no cohesive tone, lack of humor/jokes...

please just close the book on this painful piece of "cinema"

I dont play AC or care much about Sim games, but watching this was genuinely fun.
