bad game for weirdos

seriously though, it’s a great concept and there’s clearly a lot of love in there but it’s just a busy mess to me, doesn’t control well and the UI is terrible. Dragging that slow counter over the character I want to play and picking the stage from a list of 50 in a jaunty angle

Fuck off back to picross!!!

would be awesome if they had a robust single player mode, like challenge towers motal kombat style or something themed around different franchises with a couple of unlocks to keep you trying. Nice clean progression would do that game wonders.

I guess it’s basically just made for N64/Gamecube owners though so “onboarding” new players doesn’t seem to be their aim

Erm…

I can’t see anything positive about fire emblem in this thread…so I’m going to assume it’s a port not worth getting excited for.

Not played smash since melee, so I will love it in any case

Fire emblems brand new m9. Looked decent

The Wii Smash had a nice single player mode. The Wii U one didn’t and I thought had a poor art style too

II’m not annoyed solely from this under par showing, I’ve been generally underwhelmed by the entire years showing so far. I’m just not excited about a lot. Yes there will be lots of good indie titles but you need the big stuff in between. I’m so so about tennis, so so about smash, never been into Mario party or pokemon

Am I invested in the wrong platform? Not really, previous generations suited me fine, switches first year was good, this year doesn’t interest me much unfortunately.

Yes there are good games on other platforms and after Microsoft conference I might finally go for an Xbox, but I was hoping I could satisfy myself II’m not annoyed solely from this under par showing, I’ve been generally underwhelmed by the entire years showing so far.

Ah good, thought there’d be more buzz tbh.

Fire Emblem is a key franchise for me, tbh. One of the most rewarding/challenging Nintendo IPs.

Looked pretty solid. It’ll maybe get its own direct or at least featured more in Tree House.

Is it actually any good as a series? A 3DS demo really put me off a few years back; pages and pages of characters taking rubbish and very little gameplay until I got bored of it.

If your into srpgs it’s up there. Gone a bit a anime melodrama lately though.

Apart from Zelda and MGSV I’d say nearly all of the best and most memorable games I’ve played in the last decade have been smaller/indie titles.

You could still get a tonne of fun and interesting gaming time and value from the switch I reckon

Sucks to be all you guys looking for new stuff. Here I am still switch-less until September, so by the time I’m done with Zelda, Mario, DK Tropical Freeze, Splatoon, Mario Kart, Octopath, Mario Tennis etc…then it’ll be time for Metroid, the proper new Pokémon and probably other stuff.

Suckers

Strategic.

Also personally much prefer nice crisp 2d visuals on that switch screen than playing stuff like odyssey or DK where it gets a bit blurry

I’m not quite in that boat unfortunately.

Apologies for the messed up post above, my phones touch screen went mental

That’s my beef too. Since Christmas, it’s been a string of Wii U ports I own. I had the weekend weirdness of Labo to enjoy but that aside, and due to Dark Souls delay, all I’ve played are indies I largely bought on sale last year. With no PS4 or Xbox to fill the gap, it just feels like I need something chunky to get lost in.
