I love Mario galaxy when I’m playing, but I don’t not miss its globe mechanic when I’m not. It’s the main reason I’m not dying to play galaxy 2. Odyssey 2 now that I’d pre order.
@progx I’m a 40 something with 1 kid and pre school and one kid in diapers, and the switch is the only way I get to game, I have to share my tv now, so i rarely get to play my series x or ps5. I got the switch 2 mostly because I have a very aging and beat up switch and instead of replacing sideways I decided to go up.
I used to only play Nintendo for first party games, I played a crap ton more PlayStation then anything. Got a switch, then I got the ps5 and then I had kids and my ps5 is dusty as heck and my switch joycons joysticks are wearing out. If your a gamer with small children the switch is a god send.
I personally think it’s stupid that they have them. The only reason is to try and placate that I only buy physical. I will never reply digital people. Nintendo has to be thinking that people hate digital because they don’t get a case to display, when it’s really a fantasy that they own the game when they buy it physical, Every other form of entertainment made the jump to digital media with no problem. I wonder why gamers are having the hardest time moving on with it.
I have been gaming since 1990 and this is the first console I’ll have ever had never mind at launch but in its first year. I decided to get a switch in 2019, and It took forever. Plenty of missed restocks because scalpers. I almost fainted when I got my confirmation email lol.
@rjejr that’s weird both me and my wife got one at target. I got mine at 12:01am est and she got hers at 12:20 am est. then we got confirmation emails. Almost immediately. We didn’t cancel the second one until 11am today after we were sure we got one.
Holy crap I got a switch 2. I never in a million years figured I’d press ok in time after the ps5 debacle. But holy crap I got Mario kart world bundle. YES! YES! YES!
I would have to say, Rise was too successful to want to port a dumbed down version of wild. Switch will an original new MH game in similar style to wild like we did with World, Rise.
@SpaceboyScreams for one I don’t play pokemon but I also don’t crap on games with months of development left. No wonder the gaming industry is in the shape it’s in. No matter what game or genre it sucks. Every major release, Avowed is not Skyrim it sucks. Dragon age is “woke” it sucks, AC shadows, it’s Ubisoft and the world has a bandwagon hate boner for them so it sucks. Monster hunter wilds has more streamlined mechanics then hunter 2 so it sucks. The Internet wrestling community is more positive than the gaming one and that says a lot. Because that’s one of the most negative cesspools on earth you can go.
You have only seen a trailer or two., To make an entire opinion piece, about how it lacks what one has is a bit premature and disingenuous. Ya let’s crap all over the game a year before it’s released.
I double dipped, I got it on ps4 upon release then again on the day I bought my switch. It’s amazing game. They did what sonic superstars was looking to do. Make an nes Megaman game with modern graphics. 10/10 for me fantastic piece of art.
I bought epic Mickey 2 on Xbox in the build up to this and it legit looks better then rebrushed does on switch. The only thing epic Mickey on switch does better is camera. Everything else looks better in epic Mickey 2 on series s to boot.
I want an insane amount new course we’ve never see. Before. Let’s drive on one of the Metroid planets. The bionis and mechonis would be perfect for land air and sea travel. I would also like to see them include some Splatoon. I want them to have drivers like they have the amount of fighters into smash Brothers should be accounted for, but at least one driver
@Pillowpants it’s not as greedy as it looks because video games have cost 60 since the 90s and now they cost infinitely more to make yet cost the same as they did 30 years ago. The move to digital is the only chance a lot of Indy and AA developers have to make any money and keep people employed and making games.
I don’t mind the blow mechanic, stuff like this happens when a game series is around long enough. This is the DK with the blow mechanic like, Mario sunshine is the one with the backpack or world is the one with the cape. Both things I hate about the games they are in. I like this game better then tropical freeze, which I guess makes it my favorite DK game because it was tropical freeze until yesterday.
@Bored_Cosmic_Horror I have been buying digital since the PlayStation 4 and I have yet to run into an issue so I am curious as to what these problems are. What issues is buying digital causing you? To much shelf space?
Suda 51 is not my cup of tea, no more heroes was one of my biggest regret buys on the switch. This may play drastically different but it looks very in the same vein. I hate that it was released in such awful shape though, it’s bs they sell us stuff and we have no recourse but to suck it up.
Pillars of eternity is unplayable on the switch, unless you love sitting through loading. The game technically works, and you can play it, but for the love of God, please don’t buy it. It is awful, awful awful and would probably run just as well on a calculator.
I love how in the movies and the first one he’s rather handsome and has hair, then by the third one he is Eggman as we know him. It’s very cool to see his descent into madness.
Not gonna lie when he made the comment about being first non square employee to finish ff6 in America. My first thought was someone in the comments is gonna claim to have done it before him.
The one mock up that say 2 Nintendo switch2 Time to switch it up, made me laugh out loud. I find it ridiculous to think Nintendo would be so bush league.
@rvcolem1 not gonna lie Infernax gets really stinking hard at about the halfway point. And I’m not ashamed to say I had to use the cheats and even then it’s still brutal lol.
I’m very happy about this news, I have for a few months now been stressing about having this entire library and a launch switch that’s about to bite the dust. You name it my switch does it. Right joycon constantly disconnects? Check. Not reading game cards I put in? Check. The screen going black or awful static noise while I have it docked? Check. So now instead of leveraging my current switch into an oled and then also buying a switch 2 now I only have to tough it out until the switch 2 so ya yay!
I have the original on my series s and sonic x shadow on my switch, and Sonic controls better on the switch, I’m getting super ranks and red coins I couldn’t get for years on the original version.
If it was 2002, I could see you giving this a nine out of 10, but I tried playing this on Xbox six months ago. There is no way is still a nine out of 10 game, five tops. Yooka laylee plays significantly better than this. I absolutely loved both of these games. The first time around, even though Conker was my favorite because of my age. It’s sad. I’ve been coming to this website for years and I can no longer trust the reviews.
This is the most off base review I have read in a long time. Even the commentators that toe the line and praise everything put out by this site think this review score is a joke. that should tell you something.
