My favorite Nintendo systems have always been the portable ones, and both Nintendo and indie developers are slowly but surely releasing mostly 60fps gameplay - which I prioritize over resolution. So, for me - someone on the go who loves Nintendo's portable systems and high framerates - this is super nice.
But I can see why someone would be disappointed if they kept the thing in the dock near their TV.
Three Minutes Clapping forever!
This is a ridiculous headline. There are QoL things that need to happen to the multiplayer (changing weapons before the next match! Backing out of trying to join a game!), none of which are listed in the article, but that doesn't make it terrible. It runs very well and has quite a few different modes to it. It's also a well-designed game.
The article itself only lists two problems: the online app and playing with friends (which goes back to the online app). The app ...
Famitsu readers continuously lack a long-term memory. I've seen these types of lists before out of them, and it's always the best game of the last six or so months. In 2010, their Greatest Game list was topped by Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.
Aw man, Tekken 7 really does need a Big Bear!
He was at least informed. I liked that he mentioned M2, because M2 does the best emulation, has plenty of experience with Sega hardware, and should have been at the helm of this project from the beginning.
Whatever keeps it locked in at 60fps. Framerate is far more important when it comes to fighting games, and 900p isn't much of a sacrifice here. This isn't a game that absolutely needs to reduce any jagged edges, it's a game that absolutely needs to be responsive without a hitch. Otherwise, it's pretty freaking useless as far as competitive play is concerned.
GOOD. Matsuura needs a collaborator to reel him in so we don't get another gimmicky drum major game, and hopefully iNis will be able to help with that. Gitaroo Man and Osu are some of my favorite games, I hope this lives up to the hype.
The headline's clickbait-tastic, but from a writing and world-building standpoint, what's being said in the article does work. It would be more realistic if not everyone was attracted to one freaking character every single time - different people float different boats in the real world. I remember there was a character in Dragon Age III that rejected me, and it was actually impossible to date that character, and that made sense in the story.
Like, imagine if in Mass...
There's a lot of comparing later titles to the N64 version in this article, and I'm not sure that needs to be a thing. Mario Kart is one of the most successfully iterative franchises Nintendo has - not much changes fundamentally from sequel to sequel, but everything gets polished and improved over time. Contrast that with something like Mario Party, which jumps on every gimmick available on the system and often trips over itself and delivers a worse sequel in doing so.
From the article: "I feel like it's also important to put the price of Street Fighter 2 on Switch into context. Bomberman R is £44 on Amazon. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is £42. Zelda is £48. So perhaps we should consider Street Fighter 2 on Switch a bargain at £35."
Dude. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a steal on dollars per content as opposed to this weird SF side project. And the new art is ugly. I don't get it - these guys have Frank Cifaldi over ...
You guys know that this article is about Zelda and the *site* is called What to Play Next, right? They're recommending BotW.
But, if you must, Puyo Puyo Tetris on a portable system is godlike given the JP demo. That comes out at the end of the month, and I'm way more excited about it than MK8.
Yeah, I can see this point of view. It depends on what you want and what you're planning. Some people - myself included - love being the early adopters. It helps that one of my favorite games of the decade, Binding of Isaac, has a very solid release on the platform - that's way better to play on the go, and not on a 3DS.
Yeah, you've gotta figure they released it early as a Zelda system and didn't give companies like Netflix or Hulu the time they'd need to get a version of their app ready on day one. I'm okay with this - they're probably doing it because it's near the end of the fiscal year, plus tax season in the States - but I also really do want some streaming video on this thing when I'm out.
True - in a way, that's a market niche they can monopolize on. And despite the whole TV dock advertising strategy and how they're saying "no really, it's a home console," it's better as a portable. PS4/Switch is a good combo.
I have no friggin' idea what the Scorpio will cost, and neither does Bolt, so that's all up in the air.
TotalBiscuit? Far left? I know Jim's proudly a lefty, but come on with putting The Cynical Brit on the US political spectrum. XD
That makes sense business-wise. Those guys have a lot of YouTube followers *because* of their commentary and light-shedding about how Steam works. It's kinda like the lowest-cost focus test you could possibly do.
M2! Oh snap, they're the best! Oh, now I really want a North American release.
Oh man. Valkyria, don't let me down! I loved Chronicles so much, and I was sad to see it turn into a portable high-school-visual-novel thing in 2. I hope this is one of those games where everyone suddenly has to wave their arms around and be like "Guys, wait! This is actually good! It's okay! You should play this!"
I got about halfway. I couldn't get past the super low chugging framerate. It was neat to have so many playable characters, though!
