In Japan, the demand for console gaming has diminished over the years. While not completely dead -- with games and systems still being produced and sold in the East -- sales can pale in comparison to that of the handheld and mobile gaming market.
Super Mario Odyssey was the Nintendo Switch’s debut for the franchise, and we saw our red-hatted friend don a new piece of gear that doubled as his new sidekick, Cappy. With so many characters getting some prominent screen time, Luigi felt completely uninvited to this party. That’s why we can’t help but think that Nintendo has something special cooked up for him in Super Mario Odyssey 2.
Games Asylum: "Well, this is uncanny. This school management sim bears a startling resemblance to Two Point Campus, especially when it comes to planning and decorating rooms. Be sure to add a window and a radiator, along with a plant or rubbish bin. Indeed, certain aspects are almost identical – it’s just like revisiting Two Point Campus, only something is…off. It’s the visual style that leads to the uncanny valley feeling, using a low-poly PlayStation/Saturn aesthetic. An odd choice, considering the 32-bit consoles didn’t have a great amount of management sims. The PS1 did have Theme Hospital though – with Two Point Hospital being Campus’ predecessor, so we guess we can give it a pass on its artistic intent."
I almost bought this yesterday lol. Then I remembered I have 1000 games I need to play and I would probably touch this once.
Tokyo Xanadu eX+ has launched on Switch and includes a large helping of new content, including new characters and bosses.
This one is always for sale on PS4 and I never got around to get it, is it any good?
My question is, why are pre-orders sold out, if they are that, pre-orders? The whole point of pre-orders is to measure demand, and have units ready for launch. If Nintendo is, again, trying to lie about supply to create artificial demand, they are making a huge mistake, specially coming from a failed Wii U. If they really only have 2 million units, that is also a big mistake, because they should have announced details of the Switch earlier, so that they had time to manufacture enough units to satisfy demand!
