I'd gladly take a Mario Maker Wii U+3DS mashup. That would top this game easily, but it's definitely a high bar now.it convinced me there probably wont be a better Nintendo-esque game this year. This is the peak, and its only January
unless Bayonetta 3 comes out, then all bets are off
Great game so far, about to start chapter 4! A joy to play (I also had problems gripping walls at first, but learnt to hold it down at all times, just letting go when needed), nice music, charming graphics. Story is okay, and I expect it to become great later on.
Saving B sides to the end, based on the impressions in this thread...
I don't understand why this game is supposedly meant to be played with analog stick! You can still only go in 8 directions, right? Anyway, a couple of times I've felt like I've died because of the Switch buttons not being a D-pad, but 99.95% of the times, I've gone where I've wanted.
I find it more intuitive to switch between diagonals within split seconds with the analog. Comes into play more in the B-side levels, especially 4-B and 7-B.
It does.I'm about to buy this. Does the game support video recording on Switch? Seeing a lot of post with Twitter videos.
I'm guessing there's no reason behind the PICO-8 computer game other than feeling like a champ.
If anyone's interested, the latest episode of Nintendo Voice Chat had the IGN reviewer on to discuss why he gave the game a 10:
just skip to around 26 minutes
Oh boy I just got to this part. This is a fine game for sure.*beats stage 6* If as if this game wasnt good enough already, how about having the best platformer boss fights...period? Through a combination of narrative context, audio/visual cues, great soundtrack, tight play control, and actually forcing you to use the elements of the stage instead of just locking you in a room and jumping on some random boss?
I was already at the end, why would you turn this thread into a house of lies?!
So far I think it's done extremely well and has me actively engaged in 'what's going on' I hope it continues like that and stays away from heavy handedness.
Any news yet on how well this has performed? I'm intrigued to know the platform breakdown.
Unfortunately I'm not on Twitter which is mainly where these things seem to get announced.

I really love the Pico-8 version, it's even more stripped down and so pure! I already played it through twice, and I'm more eager to play it through again instead of continuing the main stories, just to improve my time and get all the strawberries.
What are your pico-8 records so far, resetera people!?
Holy shit chapter six Madeline vs madeleine bad was the best level
In any game this sequence am superb and impossivle with no assistance beat game of year
That's my assumption, as well. I know I chose to get it on Switch for the portability, but man, those B-sides are extra tough without a real dpad.My guess is that it sold best on Switch and worst on Xbox. PC and PS4 probably somewhere in the middle. Who knows. Maybe we'll get some numbers in a few weeks/months.
You should try playing with the stick. I switched the stick on PS4 and I was actually surprised at how well it plays with it. Probably better than the PS4 d-pad, honestly. And apparently some of the later levels with the d-pad are next to impossible, as per some earlier posts on the last page.That's my assumption, as well.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot. I actually ended up doing just that for Cuphead, and it helped a lot.You should try playing with the stick.
