Men of culture from every corner 🤪😜

That's awesome, I thought of bitting the bullet and getting it on PS5 but now I'm glad I waited so i'll just get it on Switch 2 instead.

Yo! Been waiting for this, happy it’s right around the corner. Can’t wait!

@bransby That fight was incredibly confusing to me as well. I'm certain there's enough guides to help old geezers like me.

@Don Most likely not, at least in any official or direct manner

Would be interesting to see them try other Russian-speaking areas now tho

Looking forward to this update!

Nothing to do with article, just the first I clicked on.
@Anti-Matter I was just wrapping up some presents to help someone out and one of them was a Bluey colouring book and I thought to myself as I was wrapping it up, "Yep, Anti-Matter will love this. Merry Christmas Anti-Matter". You'll have to imagine the gift, but enjoy it anyway! Wrapped in blue Frozen paper btw

@Suketoudara We will have an update on Mouse Work soon. Things are progressing well

Feels like there's a lot of rushed switch 2 edition patches at the moment, probably a symptom of the delayed development kits but wanting something out pre xmas. This one just wasn't "shadow dropped".

Hope things get better in the new year as FF7, Yakuza and Star Wars has shown the system is very capable

I thought 30fps would be an issue but this is really smooth and detailed. The lighting is incredible. Will definitely be buying it (digitally) on release day.

@Pillowpants I also played the demo last night, and it's my first time playing the game on any platform. I could play it on PC, but this isn't the type of game I like to play on PC.

Anyway, yeah, I'm sure I'll get used to the combat eventually, but I found the boss fight very confusing and I had to use like 15 potions between Cloud and Barrett, lol. Might check out a strategy guide before I play the main game.

Looks bout right, unfortunately.

@Oppyz666 yes. So it's this automated AI YouTube crab. It should be forbidden, to activate it by default.

I once heard the AVGN introduction song in German. Sung by AI. Still gives me the shivers....

@YANDMAN

I don't think it's overpriced actually, although I'm hearing that a lot. The problem is, people's disciplines and sensibilities vary greatly. We might repeat the game because of the retro enjoyment factor, multiple paths and licensing magic, and play for one life clears in arcade mode for the personal reward that comes with that kind of achievement.

For others they're going to blow through story mode on defaults very easily and feel like it's an underwhelming 45 minutes for the price.

That's one reason that it's not possible for me to score the game 9/10 (although I'm genuinely happy you're enjoying it that much) because I need to consider the wider purchasing audience. It's not a 9/10 for me personally, anyway, even taking into account that I enjoy this type of game more than any other (it's not got the depth needed for such a hallowed score IMO) but I have certainly had fun with it.

@Nitrome_Ltd Do you have a Switch 2 Dev kit yet? Been looking forward to Mouse Works 😃

@OorWullie They are mini collections of games within each franchise. The problem with a bigger collection of all our past games is there are over 150 of them. It’s just too much work to do them all. Most of them are in flash so require porting from the ground up so it’s not quick.

They lost me at Game Key Card.

@Oppyz666 what? This must be some new YouTube thing. I think I recall reading about it but had no idea it was there. Maybe we have to opt out or something…strange??

Well i am waiting for the first patch for the game. Giants Software really has to fix their game, its just not running well

A few people on here over the last few weeks have said kirby Air Riders is so superior to MKW that they won't play it again. I bought KAR last week and have been so taken aback about how bad it is, it's a terrible game imo. I advise anyone who is planning to get it to buy the physical game as you can sell it and get your money back. I stupidly bought the download version and have since deleted it from my console.

@Anti-Matter DLC is usually region-locked so probably not

Very talented people, I enjoyed Bomb Chicken a lot and can recommend to everyone

Reject Zelda

Return to Jesus allegory and Welsh Cat girls

OTT?! Can't we simply spell out "over the top" any more? Man, sometimes reading articles, I have to look up abbreviations because I must be getting old!

I'm still considering getting this game, even though football isn't my thing. But it just seems so much fun!

Well that’s the Kid’s Christmas ruined. “Where’s dad? We haven’t seen him since the 22nd!”

Game looks awful but seems to play better on switch 2

@sportvater what? I hear them in spanish. It seems they used audio depending on your location. You are german, right?

@Jeff2sayshi a legit complaint about one of these games? What portal did I fall through?

@Pillowpants thats what I did on my playthrough to make it somewhat familiar. Its a halfway house.

@KayFiOS Dismissing others with immature remarks like “you clearly haven’t played it” just because you disagree isn’t a meaningful way to engage in a discussion. It just comes across as trolling or overly defensive fan behavior. When you participate in a comment section, it’s worth accepting that not everyone will share your perspective. Resorting to insults adds nothing to the conversation. Just some constructive advice to you.

Does it play like it did on real proper consoles ten years ago?

@ChessboardMan we will be updating the blog soon to cover this. The website as a whole has became very outdated and hard to update. We no longer have a full time web developer on staff either so that’s largely why the blog posts are so infrequent. We will update the whole website at some point.

@Duncanballs Yeah, Xenoblade is awesome. Maybe I should have opted for the option where you auto-attack and choose commands. Maybe I'll do that when I play the full game.

I'm going to confess something: because I couldn't afford a console for years, I skipped over several Switch game reviews that I didn't bother reading. Last Christmas, I bought a Switch and enjoyed it like never before. I caught up on several new releases, and just a couple of months ago, I bought a brand-new Switch 2. I bought another batch of games to see how they worked, and one of them was Arkham Knight (although I already had it on Steam, I'd never played it on that platform). I had no idea about the bad reviews and enjoyed it immensely. Yesterday, the game unexpectedly updated, and I started looking for information about what was included. Only now am I finding out that it had stability and performance issues.

All I can say is that it's by far the best Batman game they've made to date. It far surpassed what I saw in Arkham City (which, for me, was already the definitive Batman game). Now that they've added the Batmobile, I realize there's still so much to say about Batman games. I hope they include the Batjet and the Batboat in future sequels.

By the way, why haven't they included Arkham Origins or Blackgate yet? I played them on PS3 and 3DS, and they're excellent games.

@BaldB3lper78 SwitchUp on Youtube do all patched up videos every so often which I find useful, they do mention Knight often so hopefully they cover it soon - might be worth keeping an eye out there for their feedback, I'm so keen for this game to be 'fixed' on Switch 2

Get cool update and awesome to see the switch 2 portable mode get some love. Many switch 1 games I played are looking just fine in docked on a switch 2, but on handheld they’re pretty rough looking due to the resolution cuts of the switch 1.

The best cel shaders in the industry

@Marioparty yes, this is much better than previous Sonic racing games. While I prefer Mariokart world, it’s still a very good game and you should try and have both games in your library.

IMO the HD version made some changes I don't like to the art style, if they did ever release it... I suppose they don't need to what with NSO but a "classic" and "enhanced" graphics option would be nice!

@themightyant I hear this! For the record we did try to get a balance! We built up devised etiquettes around turning screens off for spoiler-y stuff and knowing sometimes people would want to be ploughing on solo off chat etc etc

@Pillowpants Ive only really enjoyed the Xenoblades and this outside of turn based.

Turn based is like a game of Chess thinking 2 or 3 moves ahead constantly. My reactions are too slow these days for real time and Im quilting of panic button mashing 😃

Fingers crossed that DQ12 sticks with tradition.

Why are there German sound effects in Skywire? Sounds super weird...

Does anybody else feel the naming scheme for these parts is weird? “Intergrade” sounds like it would be the middle game, “Rebirth” more like the start of a remake series.

Played through the demo yesterday and hmmmm… I don’t know. Didn’t memorize the control scheme so my run-through turned into button mashing. And the game is another case against voice acting, I found the banter cringy.

Glad they made a demo available though! Coming to the same conclusion again: FF is not for me.

@TheExile285 Same. I'm still yet to activate it since nearly none of my friends have a Switch 2 yet
