Can you take two people online from same console?
The official term for that is called “Combo co-op,” and very few games support it but I think so with this one! At least with the Xbox version.
@ thank you for your reply.
Thanks for the unbiased review! I paid $29.99 in December 2024 for Switch version of it from a major retailer (already had ps4). No sales for it this season unfortunately.
Whether you paid $20 or $30, I still think this is an underrated good game!
@@obscuristgaming indeed!
This is basically a clone of Kuru Kuru Kururin
That’s right! Which is also playable with Switch Online if anyone wanted to try it.
What about astro party? 😭
That’s only 4 players.
@obscuristgaming i can confirm that it is not. Definitely one of our favorite 6 player party games and i believe it does 8 as well
@obscuristgaming my apologies. Astro duel. Not party
why is this game so fucking difficult, even serving is fucking hard. Ive never been so frustrated playing a game. Seems its not even consistent with the timing.
This looks absolutely fantastic especially for $5 like it is now on sale
"BONITO DAYS" is less than $2 on eShop right now.
dude............... the sound design in Monkey Ball 2 is CHARMING AS HELL.
Did the Switch version get this update?
Yes!!
Can anyone help me on making stairs?
You want to use the concourse props, and stack them like stairs using the snap tool to line it up. I usually pick a different material for the stairs themselves to make them “pop” more.
@@obscuristgamingAlso do you know how to fix the issue of not being able to place props near the walls It happens very often and prevents me from using a lot of wall shapes Happens often to me, especially with walls that have some curves in them
If you’re referring to Outfield Walls, some have a “hidden” area where you can’t place any props, stairs or otherwise.
@@obscuristgaming oh damn, that means that I can't do a lot of things I'd like to do with those spaces then
top spin 4 has better and faster gameplsy in my opinion
Exactly the video I needed !!!!
I’ll get around to them eventually.
Gylt looks really nice!
Agreed…especially for a game that technically came out 5 years ago.
What about "Boomerang FU"
Awesome game, but not really co-op. More of a pvp multiplayer game!
Its weird cause this was the first baseball game I ever played. Had I played any other baseball game first the flipped camera would have completely thrown me off but I guess I got used to it. Definitely took a lot of adjustment and memorization for sure.
That’s like playing with inverted aiming on a Nintendo game growing up, and all of a sudden being forced to switch to “normal.”
39.99 for the complete edition. On ps5. I’ll give it a shot
What are your initial thoughts on it?
@ 40 bucks. Im happy with it better than what else is out there
I already have Thomas The Tank Engine for the SNES, thanks 😎
I want to play plate up! with a friend but it doesnt works (We both play on PS5) do you have any tips
Not sure! We played 3 player on Xbox a few times with no issues- check with the PlateUp Reddit page and ask there
hello is there different levels in this game like level 1 /level 2 ?
I believe there are 2 cities in the OG Crazy Taxi. And just 1 in Taxi Chaos- I think, it’s been so long since playing.
tidbyt or glance for sports ticker?
I use Tidbyt mostly as a sports ticker- I’ve only seen adds for glance, so I don’t know much about those
@@obscuristgaming i would lean more to tydbyt but their all sold out, any idea when more will be in stock?
Never unfortunately- company decided to call it quits shortly after I made this. eBay is your only option
How could "it takes two" not make the list?
It didn’t come out until November 2022 for Switch, about a year after this video
Mario Strikers?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Only 4 players.
@@obscuristgaming Mario Strikers is 8 players offline. I purchased it yesterday and played it. It might be worth to update this video by the way, great work!
Pumpkin Jack is an absolutely trash game. On videos it looks amazing, but when you run it on switch it's in mid-low resolution. Running, jumping and overall movement feels weird. Combat is also mediocre at best.
I don’t think it’s a trash game- made by one person, which is kind of cool. Definitely a throwback game that has the same faults as like an old GameCube game (iffy controls, invisible walls, etc.)
@obscuristgaming Didn't know it was made by one person, it changes a little how I look at this game. But still i wouldn't call it a good game nowadays. It could be an interesting title if published on mobile devices, but not on a console.
I only ever play local 8 player games on my Switch. Best consol for parties 🎉
I think Clusterpuk had some contoller problems not allowing 8x Pro controllers
Noted! Never tried that one myself at 8 players
This game is an example of how to pull the plug on a small market of people who wanted a tennis game that were on life support. They tried it. Half assed the creation of it. And then marketed it for $70-$120 when it should have been $20 or less.
I wonder if they’ll go the WWE route and make it yearly with minor updates, or not invest anything more into it and call it an L.
That was pretty good! I did have to speed up the playback to 1.25X, but other than that not a bad video 😊 thx for the games!
I have had the tidbits since day one I have four of them I have two of the GEN twos and I absolutely like the GEN ones better.
What do you like better about GEN1?
you open to selling one of your gen1’s?
If you look at what they did with the pricing of this game, it comes off as pretty scummy. Seems like it was overpriced at launch, but they raised the price very shortly after release anyways (presumably after reviews were up). They then raised the price another $10 in 2023 and have hardly ever put it on sale, and hardly discounted it when it was on sale - I don't know what all they added to the game within those periods, but it's pretty clear it is not worth $30. The biggest frustration with that is that Marble Blast Ultra was one of the best multiplayer games available for the 360. But the way they let their greed drive the pricing of this, I'm sure it only had a multiplayer playerbase at the very beginning and now it's completely abandoned because nobody is willing to pay the ridiculous price of entry. What a huge shame and waste of effort making a game like this only to sabotage it so badly (Titanfall 2 comes to mind as a similar failure due to incompetence and an inability to read the room). Oh well - In an alternate universe where they weren't so greedy, this could've been a fantastic game...
Gracias hombre
At least someone added time stamps
Actually it doesn't look that bad in your video. Adequately sharp.
Xenocrisis is my favorite switch twinstick shooter although I haven't tried these. Most people won't make it past the last level on the easiest setting after several attempts.
Thx for the review<3 I've always wanted to try this game..
1st. I loved this game on PS2
I’m 20 years late but I’m happy I did finally play through it
where can i buy one? anyone has a link, they are sold out in the website
This second generation is sold out, but some people have it on EBay. Gen 1 is available on the Shopify website
can you play with a paddle to interact.
It does have a joycon motion control mode, so you could use accessories on that, but I didn’t really test it much.
Awesome list
I had this game on my eShop wishlist for quite some time now waiting for a sale (because I don’t by anything digitally at full price anymore) and is on sale right now for $4.99! That’s a steal! I’ll be picking this one up to play it with my daughters right now! Thanks for the review too. It helped on my decision to get it or not. I like your style so keep going! 😁👍🏻
Thanks! This is a game that came and went with like zero fanfare, so I’m happy you’re giving it a try!
I totally agree with your point regarding on field bullpens. I disagree however with using cages to create bullpens. They’re cages, they’re always gonna look like cages. They should at least give us 3-4 preset options, like behind the fence in left and right, stacked in left, stacked in right , stacked beside the batter’s eye. This seems pretty simple to add in to an update.
Thanks for the feedback on the screen I thought there is a screensaver on it... A bit sad, more crisp pictures would be better 😅
I just got mine. Quick question it looks like there is a film or protective sheet over the screen used for shipping. However, I am hesitant to try and remove in case it just looks lke there is one. Did you have to remove a film from the screen when you set yours up?
Nope! No film or anything to remove. It just kind of looks like it because of the blur up close.
It’s not a protective film. It’s just the way the screen looks on Gen 2, unfortunately.
@@obscuristgaming Gotcha, ya i figured. I bought my dad the first gen and the picture looks a lot clearer. Interesting design choice on their part.
Seriously disappointed in the screen. Bought the Glance and will be giving the Tidbyt away.
@@charlesscripps6573 you prefer the glance from amazon than the tidbyt?
it looks cool
Amazing list! Was surprised at how many i've never heard of.
Yeah it’s a cool underrated feature on the console I think
I think you’re mistaken, World of Goo 1 wasn’t a WiiWare only game, it came out first on PC
Good point- in terms of consoles I mean, WiiWare only
And also technically World of Goo 1 came out in Febuary 2008, but that was just a preview (game was finished at that time though but a LOT OF STUFF got removed before release, too much to list here, but mostly levels and ball types were canned) Same happened for World of Goo 2, they had a preview of some of the chapter 1 and 2 levels shown at GDC this year
Can this do local multiplayer?
Yes! We play local multiplayer all the time, although you can see each other's cards.
Is it cross platform?
Just local multiplayer, so not cross platform.
Why the bullpens have to be on the field and why you can't modify foul territory? Also, why can't you modify the batter's eye? On another note. I think the makers of the game should add all classic stadiums from all 30 teams. I'm a Brewers fan and would love to see Milwaukee County Stadium in the game as it's darn near impossible to make in stadium creator as foul territory was small, didn't have the bullpens on the field, and the batters eye was just empty bleachers. Also, can't really make Bernie's Chalet. I have tried to replicate County stadium and I do have it in the vault but it's a little wonky.
Just got this game it has to be bugged the third boss never drops items and the lag is ridiculous.
Are you playing on Switch?
Yes
Good helpful review
