Awesome reviews. Can't wait to play my copy tomorrow.....if I can be pulled away from windjammers

 

[Golden_Pigeon]

So the NZ eshop already selling it ?
So it's midnight ?

 

[wild wild rice]

I never cared for xcoms base building or resource management stuff so I'm happy that's been jettisoned.

 

[titiklabingapat]

Wow, so this game is actually good! Cannot wait.

 

[King_Moc]

This game looks absolutely gorgeous.

I'm getting a 2 second stutter every 4 minutes or so, kind of annoying. Bought via eShop, already restarted my Switch. Haven't seem reviews complaining about this so I wonder why.

I get this, but it's about every hour for me. Weird.

 

[doemaaan]

Wow! Glad this game is getting positive reviews. Happy for the devs.

 

[Neiteio]

I feel an excitement for this game I haven't felt for any game on any console in quite some time. There's just something so refreshing about this title. Even ARMS felt a tad familiar by the time it came out due to the Testfire. But with Rabbids we're going into uncharted territory, baby.

(Speaking of "uncharted," my copy of The Lost Legacy also just arrived, later than planned because Hurricane Harvey delayed my Amazon shipment... but I think I'll be tossing it in the backlog and diving into Rabbids first)

 

[mauaus]

Nice! So it's basically 60 usd right?

Yep.

Also, deleting and redownloading the game had no effect on my stuttering issue. Even archived 2 games hoping that the new download would be copied somewhere else inside the SD card to really eliminate a card issue, but no dice. Never had any problem with any other game before.

Oh well. It's annoying but at least not so frequent. Hopefully a patch should solve it.

Aghh its more like $71... Guess I'll play the waiting game... Weird the first time i asked Google now it answered 59.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Solid scores all around. That said holy shit TIME what the fuck with that 10/10.

 

[jariw]

FWIW, it's 5/5.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

FWIW, it's 5/5.

Preorder cancelled.

 

[Zemm]

Really happy for the director and his team more than anything. He was one of the highlights at E3.

Comicbook / WWG review.

I gave it a 5 out of 5.

Gushing a bit about Kirkhope's score:

This music turns you into a child, and I mean that in the best possible way. It reaches down and cradles those deep, nostalgic cores in your being where your senses of play and imagination reside. This music introduces creeping tension that rings of Danny Elfman; it reaches heroic heights frequented by Koichi Sugiyama; it whimsically drifts and delights the heart like Koji Kondo's compositions in Super Mario Galaxy. There's a pretty generous heaping of Grant Kirkhope in there as well! This soundtrack will go down as one of the greats; eclectic, consistent, and beautiful.

Still on the fence about my purchase of this game. I beat Zelda BOTW then sold my Switch, Mario Kart 8 came out and I bought another switch to end up giving it away to a friends kid that really wanted it. Here I am again with a 3rd switch sitting sealed on a table at home in appreciation of this game. I'm sick

That's a very unhealthy habit man. :/

It's not like there won't be other games coming, stop selling your console ffs!

holy hell dude! At least keep this one long enough for Odyssey to come out.

 

[SUPGUYZ]

I have no words for this.

I had a friend who would do this will Xbox, PS4, and PC. He lost out on a ton of money if he would have just kept the damn things and bought one at a time

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

FWIW, it's 5/5.

Well, that's significant. Should amend it in the OP.

What lol

 

[AzaK]

but what about giant bomb

That's what I came in for. If they give a Nintendo game a 1/2 decent score/review, it must be good

Anyway, time to watch some videos, read some thoughts and make a decision - it always felt to me that this game might not hit really high.

 

[jufonuk]

When I heard the name announcement . first of all I thought cheap cash in. Saw the e3 footage was surprise and now the reviews .. this is good more of these style odd games please ubi yeah chuck in and AAA port but honestly go nuts on a Nintendo system flex your create muscles and go for it.

Why the hell would you do this for about three times?
Can't you at least hold on to it for at least 6 months or a year before selling it off?

Stop selling and re-buying the same stuff. That's incredibly unhealthy.

I don't understand why some feel the need to get rid of something if it goes unused for, like, a week.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Me too. It was enough to make me stop playing the first one.

My friend PROMISED he would find a Switch for his daughter for graduation and ended up not finding one. Mine was only used in handheld mode and all of the accessories were still wrapped in the box so I wanted to help him out and make him look good. I think my latest switch will stick around for a while.

You should probably decide whether you're going to keep it or sell it definitively. If you're going to sell this one again, don't buy another one for at least a year. See if you still want one then. Those games aren't going anywhere.

Constantly buying and selling the same luxury product is a dangerous habit to get into. It seems you're really buying into early hype for new games, given that you bought a Switch for every big title's release. It's better if you make a choice: do you want to keep this one around you're done with this game and there might not immediately be a new game for you coming out? If not, and you choose to sell it, remember that feeling and don't buy into the internet hype again whenever the next big thing comes up.

So does anyone know when this will be up on the EU shop?

Where is the 4th Switch?

 

[BodiesWithoutOrgans]

Rabbid Peach is awesome

She's the hero we don't need but deserve

 

[Mory Dunz]

only 10 pages?

I'm assuming there's no controversy this time around

Comicbook / WWG review.

I gave it a 5 out of 5.

Gushing a bit about Kirkhope's score:

Missed Kirkhope's tunes. Think it's been awhile since he's composed for a Nintendo game and the little I've heard from this one sounds really good.
Also surprised that he's worked on the two biggest IPs out there with Mickey and Mario

With all the money and time you've wasted on buying and reselling you could've played some Splatoon or something

Not sure why everyone is hating on you, you are helping kids out! I say give this one away to another needy kid when your done with Rabbids, then do the same when odyssey comes out!

Hm..

 

[Intru]

Hoping it sells decently.
Ubisoft exclusives on Nintendo consoles have always been interesting... but they never seem to sell. I don't think we've had one as good as this game though, maybe barring Red Steel 2.

Damn... Just imagine how much money you would have right now if you didn't sell the first one and gave away the second. You would've also had the start to a decent game library for it if you would've just kept one of your previous ones.

 

[Mark1]

I'm tempted to buy this, but will wait until I have more money next month, Sonic and Splatoon 2 can hold me until then.

But Metroid is out at the same time as well...

Fuck.

 

[esmith08734]

Definitely grabbing this after I finish Lost Legacy and Sonic Mania. Glad it is doing awesome.

 

[UserDoesNotExist]

Anyone know the replayability of this? Doesn't affect whether I'll buy it, but does change whether I go digital or physical.

That's a good point.

 

[QuixoticNeutral]

Won't get to this for another week, and as usual for turn-based strategy I don't trust a single reviewer to give me an accurate picture of systems depth and difficulty, but I can't wait to dive into this game. It's reassuring to know that it hits the surface fundamentals strongly enough to please the casual player without any unexpected disasters.
