@E_Gadds_Garage I was honestly thinking the exact same thing! Like I understand possibly not using his likeness, but at the very least give us the option to wear the West suit
@CainTheConfused they are pretty dope honestly! Though the real fun comes from the hijinks that comes with playing with friends. But even without other players the games are still fun in single player
Groovy! Yet I'm surprised there was no mention of the bug at the end of the Ghost tutorial... Did anyone else experience once you got back to the firehouse the game would lock up and just leave you stuck in Ray's shop? I found a workaround for it (basically you got to restart your Switch and you're golden after), but still it's odd that they haven't addressed the bug at the beginning of the game...
@KnightofNi_ Thanks for taking the time out to kinda do an update about the current state of the game! I love NintendoLife and their reviews, but I'd love it if they would re-evaluate games from time to time with regards to the updates they receive! There's been a few games I've caught that they reviewed where the present state of the game isn't reflected in the original review.
Did folks actually think this was gonna be good though? Every single trailer and promotional material they released it showcased exactly what this game was... a cash grab
I'm still excited to check it out once my Limited Run copy shows up! I have faith that the fine folks at Beamdog will tidy up this release before I get a chance to dive in
You got my interest with "Takashi Miike", but I'm not exactly loving the animation style...
I'll totally check out the first few episodes when it drops though! Netflix has surprisingly been doing quite well on the "video game adaptation anime" front!
@The-Chosen-one I believe they've added a few new monsters across the various updates they've released... it's been a while since I booted it up so I'm not 100% positive. But the team behind the game is still frequently updating the game, so it's not like it's dead in the water or anything like that
@The-Chosen-one I bought this physically on sale for like $15 and it was well worth every penny imo. Though I don't know if I'd have spent more than that. Like it's a good game and a great pokemon wannabe, but it does (at times) feel like it's lacking
If you are just looking for a Pokemon-like MMO that you can play on your Switch you'll probably find some enjoyment out of it!
Next to Super Mario RPG, this was my biggest "WOW HOLY ***** I NEED TO GET THAT" game out of the Direct! I absolutely cannot wait to sink my teeth into this one
Are folks actually surprised by this though? Since they first started dropping footage it looked like a hot mess... from the poor muddy graphics and textures, to the poorly designed titular character...
@PersianZSR We got Hot Wheels Unleashed actually, but the slow progression for unlocking new cars, poor matchmaking, and the like kinda killed it for us! At least with 2K Drive being cross platform we'll be able to play together! (that was another downside we had with Hot Wheels Unleashed. Cross Platform, except Switch is excluded haha)
I didn't find Brutal Legend 2: Minecraft Edition to be all that bad! But I've only sunk about four hours into it so far...
Hoping a patch helps with the stutters and whatnot. Countless times I'll be running in one direction when all of a sudden my character jumps back like 20 feet from where I was lol
I only got to put roughly 4 hours into the weekend (most of that being spent playing around with the map creator...) so it's hard to nail down an exact number, but I'm gonna go with 7. From what I have played has been pretty solid! I never really had the chance to play through the originals, so its nice to be able to finally dive into them

Re: Skater XL Finally Sticks A Switch Release Date
Gosh it was listed as a December 5th physical release on my regional Gamestop website for the last like 6 months.
I'm still wary about getting this one though. It looks like a PS2 version of Skate. Is it worth the price tag?
