Nicalis are already working on the port judging from their Twitter post earlier. The blurred out games are 1001 Spikes, Code of Princess, Knight Terrors, VVVVVV and the 5th one no-one's figured out yet.

Which one haven't they figured out yet? If it's the upper middle one, it looks like Megaman Zero/ZX

no idea how the first could be Megaman Zero ZX (why would Nicalis be doing that) but the second one is absolutely Code of Princess

I swear it has been released on a bunch of platforms now. originally 3ds in 2012 and then PC like 4 years later. it's probably a bit dated but best comparison is Guardian Heroes. It's okay, I'd maybe get it if it was like 10 bux because there's no loving way I'd pay like 30 for a 2012 hack and slash

The physical releases are pretty nice. I got BOI and Cave Story and they both came with really nice manuals.

historically they're really bad about supporting their releases but they seem to be getting better

the real test is going to be if they actually push out the BoI "card pack" updates that they promised

I asked Edmund about this one on Twitter and they apparently just started working on it. I think they're waiting to release them all at once.

Yeah it's mostly this but also MLB the show is the only other game with real teams/stadiums, which sucks because I don't think games with that level of detail in the controls are very fun, and I don't have a PS4 anyway.

RBIs presentation is lacking in comparison, but I'll take what I can get. I really wish there was a home run derby mode so I could practice getting the timing right.

Also the simple controls really lend themselves to tabletop play with joycons. It's perfect for the Switch.

I'm just going by the overall shape of the blur, which shares similarities to Zero.
Whatever it is, it's probably anime, given the lack of brown and grey.

Yeah, there was a Quick look of the Bone version, I can't imagine the frame rate will be even equal to that.

I'm not sure framerate is really a priority for me in a lego/creator game.

In spite of how he's dressed, he ain't nobody's fool.
Pretty good quicklook of the game here, It's kind of a precedurally generated exploration game with building based quests.
You unlock more stuff the more quests you do.

Seems like it ran okay on the PS4 but... the Switch is somewhat underpowered so who knows?

What's the point of building cool stuff if you can only view it at slideshow speed?

well, I meant that more like I can take an imperfect frame rate and don't need stuff like 60 fps and stuff.

If it's that bad I can understand the issue.

Lego Worlds at a constant 60 FPS is still shite. The building is too limited and finicky and other than that there's really not much of a game there. It's novel for a couple of hours to visit the various worlds, but not much more. Kids might get something out of it tho.
Wish they would port Dragon Quest Builders 1 while we wait for the sequel.

I'd go with just Minecraft instead. It runs very well even with splitscreen.

This is more or less my experience. The copy tool is incredibly janky and difficult to use properly, which killed it for me. Building something really cool and being able to save it and plop it down again wherever is huge for a game like this and necessary for more impressive, elaborate builds. There is also nothing kinetic about the things the player can build. In Minecraft you can get crazy with redstone, water, minecarts, and pistons. There aren't any elements like that in Lego Worlds. You can't build custom cars or mechanisms, only copy and paste existing cars, boats, helicopters, and the like. The most dynamic thing you can do is spawn a bunch of critters and people in your hell fortress.

I really wanted to like Lego Worlds, and it does some cool things, but I don't think it's gonna hold any grown-rear end person's attention for long. Might have made for a nice sandbox when I was younger, though. There is something cool about shooting lions and spiders out of your gun.
