The button location are solid enough for me to be satisfied the only issue I have with this mouse is that the scroll wheel now spins freely and is one hell of a headache playing most fps games as the wheel usually switches weapons in most games.\n\nSo for example you run out of ammo in game and want to switch to your secondary.. well you'll switch to it but switch right back about 3 times. Kind of a deal breaker for clutch moment gaming.\n\n***edit***\n\nTurns out i'm an idiot. There's a button that locks and unlocks the scroll wheel..LMAO sooo yeah no this mouse is great i'm just not smart enough to properly utilize it."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "This would be a wonderful mouse other than the constant click/double click issue. The first one I had for a very short time. During that time I was doing a lot of gaming/designing and the click issue showed up very quickly. Amazon was great and provided an exchange. During the time I had the new one, I was not doing as much gaming/designing so the click issue took longer to show up. I am convinced this is a design flaw in the mouse itself. I will not purchase another one of these. The price is not worth it at all with the click issue. To be clear, the click issue is that when you click or try to click and drag, the mouse either doesn't hold the click or double clicks. I have tested this extensively. If it wasn't for that issue, this mouse would be wonderful. However, this creates a lot of issues with gaming, graphic design and so much more when trying to work and renders the mouse almost useless because of productivity."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'It seems logitech has either a quality control problem or a supply problem because the switches in these mice are absolute garbage. The mouse is honestly one of the best mice I have ever used while it worked - until it didn\'t. Less than a year old and $75 gets you a mouse that feels great in the hand until the scroll wheel starts jumping around and the left click starts randomly double clicking, and then not clicking at all - all intermittently. There are numerous reviews out there one can find by simply googling "g502 double click" in which people either return them and hope their next one doesn\'t do the same, refund them, or the more technical self swap of a mechanical switch for the left click.\n\nI will not be going any of these routes and I\'m sad to say it because Logitech used to be a staple in PC peripherals. Now it\'s not the plastic it\'s made of.\n\nedit: As I write this update, I have actually taken another star off for the true, 1 star review. I typically don\'t believe in one star reviews because it\'s generally an overreaction and everything is either 5 stars great or 1 star horrible, but Logitech has sunken to the 1 star territory. After literally 15 emails back and forth with Logitech support, I had to use their website to prove I was having a double click issue, which was easily done, but had to film both myself, the mouse, and the serial number from the mouse in the video while doing it. I could easily reproduce the double click fault in both the left AND right click function and sent proof. I sent my mouse back to Logitech on approx the 10th of January 2020. They received my mouse the 15th of January 2020. I don\'t hear anything for 8 days until I first contact them again asking for an update. Still nothing. Finally I receive an email stating that my product is not faulty, and therefore doesn\'t qualify for the warranty. Nevermind the evidence I had to first email them. Nevermind the 100% reproduce able error in both left and right clicking.\n\nI will never buy a logitech product again.\n\nDo yourself a favor and google \'logitech double click\' and question whether you want to buy this mouse, likely have the issue, and then not have the warranty honored. I bought a cheap mouse replacement to tide me over and it works much better anyway.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Let me start by saying that I\'ve used a lot of gaming mice, like, over 50 of them. The Logitech g502 was always a quality mouse and tons of people love the thing just based on the design and overall quality of the mouse; That being said, there are a few things to consider if you\'re thinking about getting this one in particular.\n\nThe Pros of this mouse are fairly straightforward, and are as follows:\n- Comfortable shape for most right handed people, but should be more comfortable for people with medium to large size hands.\n- Good build quality which easily places it in the same category as other \'premium\' around this price point or even a bit higher.\n- Scroll wheel: this is one of my personal favorite features of the mouse. Allows infinite scroll to get through annoying EULA pages quicker and also quickly raise or lower volume on YouTube or other video streaming sites, but without sacrificing the much needed precision of the standard mouse wheel steps. Feels satisfying to use, but it is made of metal, which leads to a negative I\'ll be mentioning later on.\n- Sensor: The Logitech Hero sensor has been tested numerous times and found to be roughly on par with the PMW3360 series sensors (including the 3366 on the original g502) while being advantageous for usage in wireless mice due to the lessened draw of power which allows for a longer battery life.\n\nThe Cons of this mouse make it hard to recommend to everyone, and are why I don\'t usually recommend it as a first choice.\n\n-Weight: My god. This thing is one of the heaviest mice I\'ve used for an extended period of time. I don\'t know exactly how much this weighs, but it feels pretty similar to the original, which I believe weighed in a little over 130 grams. Most gaming mice target a weight of 100g or LIGHTER, since lowering the weight of the mouse will make extended use easier and will allow for a greater degree of control.\n- Not a truly "safe" shape, this may or may not matter to you, but I felt that it\'s worth mentioning. Obviously this is a mouse for right handed people, and it may not necessarily be a great fit for you if your hands are very small (I have very small hands and cannot reach the sniper button at all, but the mouse is still comfortable).\n\nI would say it\'s a top tier mouse, but only if you can look past the weight. I would recommend that, as always, if you have the ability to do so, you should go to a local store and try some of the mice out to see which feels best to you, and make your decision after you have an idea what type of mouse shape you want.\n\nI won\'t recommend that you do or don\'t buy a product, so I\'ll leave it at that.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'i play alot of many types of games which makes me need as many buttons as possible on my mouse. i had the g502 and then when i i saw an upgrade, as any serious gamer, i had to have" the best". the laser and accuracy is the best ive touched ever.BUT!!!!! they need to add this laser to the g600 mmo mouse and /or arrange the button layout a little bit better for short finger . i frequently hit extra buttons on the mouse and the thumb button makes me hold the entire mouse in a uncomfortable way.\n\nin summation if you are hard core about fps\'s this is the mouse you need, want and have to have. if you are all about warcraft or whatever other mmo is out right now, not so much.....'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This review is for the Hero version of G502. I have stopped using Logitech mice since they discontinued G9. I have been using Roccat Kone XTD since then that died after serving me for over 5 years. After reading reviews about G502 I decided to give it a try as I really liked the overall design and feel , it reminded me of G9.\n\nSo when I learned they are refreshing the 502 with a new sensor I was skeptical to pay $30 more for the new one. Now that I used it I am glad I did. The refreshed model has a really thick and flexible cord that was apparently a major weakness in the original 502. Couple that with a really awesome sensor that is super accurate and sensitive to slightest movements and tracks on any surface (seriously I tried everything from a white paper to the palm of my hand) and you have a potential winner. However, the best part of this mouse is not that or the the materials that they used which also feels really nice and durable.\n\nWhile subjective and relevant to how big or small your hands are for me the way the mouse sits in my hand and how easy it is to access the buttons are the best indicators . The buttons themselves feel very satisfying to press thanks to the spring loaded mechanism. Last but not least is the scroll wheel. This... this scrollwheel I can probably write a whole paragraph on how good it is... Not only does it have the infinite mode that rolls beautifully but also its made from METAL. Its a nice chunk of metal that is just better than a plastic one in every way. I dont think I can go back to plastic mouse-wheels after using my G502. You might never use the 16000DPI sensor but if you used G502 and similar mice in the past and are due for an upgrade the refresh 502 is totally worth the money Logitech is asking for.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Scroll wheel broke within the first week and now it freewheels like fidget spinner.

The mouse feels more precise than it's predecessor and honestly the main reason for the upgrade was for the white accent color to match my current setup. Over all, for the price it's a great mouse. I paid more for the original one when that came out. 10/10 would recommend."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': ' ORDERED = 05/11/2019 || SELLER = Amazon.com LLC || PAID = $59.35\n((FAILED ON 09/18/2020))\n\n:: PROS ::\n1.) Improved braided cable over previous G502 model.\n2.) The weight options are exact same as previous model. (Feels identical in all ways, easy to get used to.)\n3.) I\'m about 6\'-6" and little over 200 lbs - fits my hand fairly well. (They don\'t make many BIG HAND mice :)\n4.) DPI shift button is epic for sniping btw!!! (Great for nudging objects in Adobe too.)\n5.) LIGHTSYNC added to this model is cool for custom rigs & lighting. (Single click, easy to enable.)\n6.) Fully customizable RGB LED, you can set color, cycle speed & mode indicators.\n7.) VERY VERY accurate mouse, 4,000 DPI higher than previous 12,000 DPI 502 model. 16,000 DPI is insane resolution tbh.\n8.) Rubberized areas can handle greasy, salty gamer hands lol (see pics.)....they are the most durable grips I have ever seen in my 30 years of using mice.\n\n:: CONS ::\n((FAILED)) LEFT MOUSE BUTTON FAILURE - The older version I have is more reliable after 3 years. Logitech products across the board are having durability issues. Their OLDER 2015 - 2018 Products were far superior. Not sure what is going on with their design and quality control, but after MANY years and thousands of dollars of products there is a noticeable DROP in QUALITY & more specifically DURABILITY. ((Possibly they are too trick for their own good)\n\n1.) The cord is much better, but this mouse still has one. (It\'s hard to find CONS with the G502 HERO.)\n2.) Really miss the cordless days, but this mouse catches every signal & the slightest movements.\n3.) The RGB is usually not prominent as it\'s under your hand or in sleep mode.\n4.) Free wheel mouse mode can be sensitive to twitch gaming. Some rolling can occur, but you gotta be really shaking it.\n\n:: OVERALL :: I HATE CORDS, but I love this mouse so I am always torn between both worlds. I need to be highly accurate in my video, photography & gaming life, all the G502 series mice have enhanced my computer work & play!\n\nI have purchased 3 of them now, 2 of which have HEAVY use & abuse....they still work perfectly and remain accurate. Seriously this mouse brought my K/D up to new highs, it\'s so much better than the $100 cordless laser I\'m still kind of in shock. It\'s a gaming AND business must have. Using this for websites, photo editing & detail alignments in Adobe is a dream come true.\n\nDON\'T FORGET IT\'s EVEN GOT MACROS!?!? I don\'t use them to their full potential, but the few macros I have are awesome!\n\nFINAL NOTE: My first G502 is still rock solid even after years of abuse, nothing has failed. Mouse wheel is 100% & so is the weight latch.\n\nI hated Logitech until I used the 502\'s, their mousewheels fail, wireless signal loss is constant (with exception to the $100 wireless lasers.) AND the rubberized grips always turned to \'sticky goo\' after 3-4 years. I was pissed off at Logitech when I bought the 502 & was ready to rip apart this mouse in a review if it SUCKED.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I bought a logitech hero around 8 months ago, and 6 months from the first use the mouse started to ghost clicking like crazy. bought this second one to see if it was some sort of factory error, if the same problem happens again ill downgrade to 1 star and i will confirm this mouse is a piece of junk. Like I said the mouse worked great, this time for around 5 months then the same issue happend again on a new mouse. Not even worth buying this junk.'}]

[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "This is my review of the 'V2' (2019) version of the Nintendo Switch (model #HAC-001(-01)).\n\nSo a little background, I was a enthusiastic PC gamer in college who built my own PCs for the purpose and am now - due to the demands of adulthood - someone who only plays the occasional game. My last handheld Nintendo console was the black and white Game Boy Pocket in the early 90's, so I've been away from the platform ---- a while.\n\nI bought the Switch purely because I learned they had ported Skyrim to it, and as a huge fan of the Elder Scrolls genre I was hoping to devote some of my train commute to questing around Tamriel. In this sense, the Switch does not disappoint. I am not a graphics connoisseur, but - compared to the PC version - Skryim plays really well on the Switch. No perceptible lag, colors are crisp. Yes, it's missing the expansions and yes, the text can be a little small, but that's a fair trade-off for the portability this platform brings.\n\nSo far, I only own 2 games - Skyrim and MarioKart 8 (another throwback to my college dorm days on the N64), and I love playing both on the Switch, MaroKart is obviously the newer game and so the graphics and gameplay are much better but I'm a still a sucker for Skyrim (at least until the next ES is released, hopefully in my lifetime).\n\nAnyway, all this to say the Nintendo Switch is a great console for busy adults who want to reminisce about the fun they had 10, 20, or even 30 years ago. The Switch doesn't take itself too seriously (which I love) but that means it might not be the right choice for people concerned with the perfect graphic or gameplay experience - there are dedicated consoles that do this much better. What the Switch does is make gaming on the go effortless, fun for the average busy person and something you can really enjoy with your whole family - which I think was Nintendo's real goal here all along."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Good Seller, Console came with everything as specified on description. I'll upload some pictures so you can see the box and hardware quality."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "This revised model of the Switch comes with a number of features that I honestly can't fully appreciate as someone who didn't own the previous model. The big thing that drew me in was the extended battery life, even though so far I haven't played much in handheld mode and not at all in tabletop, but they use the same amount of battery either way I would imagine. The reason I'm giving this system five stars probably say more about how good it is than anything else. But I pretty much expected as much. I'm sure by now you can go online and find more detailed reviews for the gaming system, but in case you're wondering here, this one comes with the system, two gray joycons, two attachments to turn each joycon into its own controller, a base to connect both joycons into the formation of a singular controller, the required cables, and the Switch dock. So you'll probably want to buy a few things alongside this such as an SD card for reasonable storage space, a pro controller for a more standard controller experience, maybe a dock sleeve to prevent the possibility of scratching the screen from insertion and ejection of the system, an online pass if you plan to play any games with online features... just basically a lot of things that would be nice if they came with the system itself. This will inflate the price further, but the thing here is that this is going to replace the old models of the Switch and simply make this the main one manufactured now. So... basically, if you want a cheaper Switch you'll want to get a Switch Lite and this one will still cost about 300 bucks like the 2.5+ year-old original variant still costs. That is, unless you want to go used. I'm only bringing up these points because while this is a great system, I do think you should be aware of what is likely to happen with prices and availability going forward and plan accordingly. Once I realize a Switch was still going to cost the same if I wanted the ability to do on and off TV play I decided I might as well just hop on board with this newer variant. I'd recommend you do the same as it has had tweaks to make it just a slightly better version all around than the previous model. Otherwise, if price is a concern, wait for the Switch Lite and see how it tickles your fancy. Also, here's tip. If you want to turn the system off as opposed to leaving it in sleep mode, simply hold down the power button on the system for a few seconds and then a menu will appear with the option to restart or shut down. Also note that you cannot play on the TV off of the Switch's battery power. The dock needs to be plugged in for the dock to function. I hope something in here was helpful."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Everything about the physical device, i feel like is pretty well made.

The games that Nintendo has no need to keep out of the store. The old pokemon, Zelda games, or any games really. Like, great you are putting witcher 3 on there...But not Orignal Zelda and Ocherina of time?\n\nPhysical? Great! Nintendo online and games? Bad. 1 or 2 games does not make the switch worth buying.

This is the new direction Pokemon has taken and it was the correct one. I'm hopeful that the future titles will do the same type of gameplay and evolve from this to be even better, BUT on the Amazon aspect, I never received the Garchomp Kimono Set code."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This game is ‘Monster Hunter Stories’, but more toned down with pokemon theme: Start at hub world. Get missions to collect/observe certain pokemon, go back with findings. Don’t know why people are calling it ‘Zelda Breath of the Wild’ of pokemon games\n\nOnly one version of the game this time. Don’t need to purchase two versions to collect all pokemon.\n\nSingle player focused game. No trade evolutions (pokemon with trade evolutions before use items to evolve now), able to obtain all starter pokemon in wild post game. 242 total pokemon at launch.\n\nTechnically 240 since two are gifts for having save data on Switch from other games (more on this later). May have more due to mystery gifts in the future\n\nYou can trade pokemon if you want, but no online battling. Unless Nintendo decide to patch in online battles later; not a competitive game except for speedruns.\n\nGameplay is more involved than mainline pokemon games; having to sneak and hide behind grass in real time instead of touching pokemon and pressing A and use D-pad buttons to win. More focused on the trainer than pokemon battles (more on this later)\n\nStory. Origin of pokemon, or at least first in the timeline. Try to complete the first ever pokedex. You explore the Hisui region. Characters/NPC have family lineage to recent games due to their appearance. You can choose which clan (diamond and pearl) to join.\n\nMore story: text heavy than previous mainline pokemon games. Disappointed there’s no voice acting\n\nGraphics is the one of the best from the pokemon series thus far, but not the best graphics on Switch overall especially the environmental graphics. There are framerate dips at times depending on how many things are happening on screen\n\nIf you have save data from past pokemon games on switch, you get additional bonuses\n\nFor Pokemon Let’s Go games you get Pikachu and Evvee masks by talking to the clothier after joining the Galaxy Expedition Team\n\nFor Sword and Shield save data you get Shaymin, by doing a side quest post game. Also Shaymin Kimono Set by speaking to clothier\n\nFor Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl save data you get Darkrai post game, and Modern Galactic Set clothes\n\n--Gameplay:\n\nMix of Pokemon safari, and pokemon battles. Follow same gameplay flow as monster hunter games.\n\nThis game is more about exploring and catching pokemon. Battles can be totally speed luck based (more on this later)\n\nInstead of focusing on beating elite 4 (No gyms in this game); you’re working with the survey corps to collect data on wild pokemon via missions NPCs give you.\n\nFor example: NPC will ask you what pokemon to catch, and you go out on mission to capture one\n\nSince you’re collecting data, there are sub missions/quests you must do to complete the pokedex like catch a pokemon a certain way (not being spotted, catching a lighter/heavier version), see them use certain moves a specified amount to times, or simply defeating them.\n\nBasically you’re just doing a series of check list quests.\n\nStory progression is gated by how many quests you complete. Can be frustrating for those who just want to see the main story and not quest grind\n\nYou can catch pokemon without battling like giving them food first then throwing pokeball to catch. Or just sneak up and throw a pokeball at them\n\nMost of the time you don’t engage in pokemon battles (unless you do a quest that require you to do certain moves or boss battles). It’s easier just to throw a pokeball as a trainer (Like Ash trying to catch a pidgy in first episode of the anime) than battling a pokemon till they reach near 1hp, maybe do a status effect, and throw pokeball.\n\nNo static movements from wild pokemon in overworld or random encounters. Different pokemon have different temperaments/personality: some just let you catch them for free (can catch multiple pokemon in succession if group together, or when they’re sleeping), run away from you, or attack you (sees you as a threat and put on angry face as you get closer). Higher level pokemon (alpha pokemon) will appear bigger with red eyes.\n\nThere are shiny pokemon you can spot in the overworld. The game does give you a notification sound if there’s one nearby. When hear this sound, save your game! (you can save at anytime). If you mess up catching the shiny, you can reload the save and try again.\n\nThere are random in-game events called ‘Mass outbreaks’ where there’s a large concentration of a particular pokemon in an area marked on your map. Going there will have higher shiny spawns especially if you keep catching the same pokemon in a herd/group\n\nIf a pokemon attacks you; you can throw out a pokeball and have a traditional turned based pokemon battle. Pokemon battles are seamless with no screen transition with no different graphics/art like past games. Battle animations are less static where pokemon shake to attack like previous games, actually have unique animations\n\nIf you don’t throw out pokeball to battle, wild pokemon can attack your trainer character and have them black out if you don’t get away in time. If you black out this way or in battle; you lose some items you’re carrying. If you go back to where you blacked out, you can’t get items back…but if you’re connected to Nintendo Online you can find other people’s item they dropped. Instead of getting exact items, you are told what items they held and get only currency for it (which is a bit weird)\n\nDuring pokemon battles, you still have 4 moves to select from. Can use Strong, agile style for each move. Latter has chance to attack first but weaker. If you have high speed stats you can attack multiple times, and vice versa with your opponent. Also can do regular move without strong or agile if you want to do something in between.\n\nYou can’t view your or other pokemon stats during battle, so you can get frustrated when they attack multiple times and you just have to assume they’re way faster than your pokemon\n\nNoble pokemon count as boss battles. Must throw bombs (from trainer) at them, while simultaneously dodge roll from their attacks. Once they get tired, you can throw out pokemon and start pokemon battle\nSince the RPG turn-based is toned down, best to play with pro controller especially when going against nobel pokemon. One of the noble pokemon is so OP (more so than Cynthia in Pokemon BDSP)\n\nTrainer you control move in full 360 degree motion in open world instead of 8 directions. Camera is more 3rd person over the shoulder than top-down.\n\nThere is a day/night cycle. One in-game day is around 20-25mins\n\nOpen world. Use pokemon like wyrdeer, basculegion, and Braviary to help traverse world. Able to control them in real time while traversing. There’s fall damage which is annoying.\n\nCollect materials and craft. Break rocks, collect flowers, shake trees, stuff laying on the ground. You can craft at anytime with items on your person, or at crafting table (use items in storage)\n\nA lot of clothing options in game. More options unlock as you progress through the game. Able to customize individual clothing parts like hat, shirt, pants, kimono/outer wear, shoes and glasses.\nAt hairdresser you can change hairstyle, and eyebrow/hair color\n\nNo pokemon breeding or held items. No Ditto due to timeline\n\nPokemon don’t evolve automatically. Must go into menu and press to evolve. Game will give you notification if they can evolve or not\n\n-9 types of pokeballs: Pokeball, great ball, ultra ball, heavy ball, leaden ball, gigaton ball, feather ball, wing ball, jet ball\n\nPokeball, greatball, ultra ball function as you expect\n\nHeavy, leaden and gigaton is for stealth/sneak up catching pokemon, low range\n\nFeather Wing and Jet ball for catching nible pokemon and pokemon in flying in air. Long range\nNo master ball seeing the timeline of the story\n\nNo EVs, IVs. Instead of EL (effort levels). Each stat can upgrade to 10. Use particular items to upgrade stats by any amount. No need to breed, battle same pokemon 100s of times, and use protein/vitamins to increase particular stat. No need to mix-max. Pokemon of same nature have exact same stat.\n\nOverall fun game if you want to be an apprentice pokemon researcher, and not the best there ever was (Pokemon).'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Although it may not be perfect in every little aspect, overall it's the game I have been waiting for. I have been playing Pokémon since Red and Blue were released, so over the years I have been craving something a little more than the typical format. We got close a couple of times with the GameCube installments, and Let's Go may be the most original thing done to a remake.. but Arceus is something completely new and I am LOVING it. The game plays as a real life scenario with Pokémon, you run around and catch them and can even be attacked by them.

In order to fully unlock a pokedex entry for bidoof, I have to catch 25 of them, 20 catches must be without being seen, evolve three bidoofs, defeat 15 of them... and report all of it first to the "professor" and then to my commanding officer so I can go up in rank and be allowed to go to a different area so I can grind catching and fighting a different type of pokemon? I thought this was a game of exploration and discovery and being the first pokemon professor (basically). Its not breath of the wild meets pokemon, its pokemon go meets cheap, botw rip-off. Its mechanics would be fun for someone who only plays pokemon to build "the most optimal team" by having a ton of every kind of pokemon, choosing when it is allowed to evolve and toggle between all learned moves... but I play for fun, not math and statistics. And this... isn\'t fun.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "This game is amazing! I've played it for about 17 hours so far, since release day yesterday. Here's what I've seen so far.\n\nPros-\n1. Mostly open world which is really nice.\n2. You can interact with lots of NPCs and they don't all look the same.\n3. You can battle wild pokemon or just throw a ball at them.\n4. You can do all kinds of side quests outside of your main quest.\n5. Character clothing and hair is changeable.\n6. Rideable pokemon.\n7. The option to either craft or purchase pokeballs, revives, potions, etc.\n8. Alphas are amazing and HUGE.\n9. Graphics are nice and everything has been smooth running so far.\n\nCons-\n1. Limited inventory space. You do have storage at your dwelling and camps though. You can expand your bag for a price.\n2. No ability to jump with character despite areas that it would be very beneficial.\n3. No option to let a pokemon walk with you outside of the ball.\n\nNotable things that I'm neutral on-\n1. No gyms\n2. There doesn't seem to be the option to customize your dwelling.\n3. You can't swim. You get a mount that does later in the game.\n\nI'll update as I play more. I'm sure I missed a few things here. Overall really worth it and made really well."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I preordered this game, just got it and am playing it right now. Pokémon are the best and to interact with them in an open world is awesome. Reminds me of Zelda BOTW and that took several months of my life to complete. If you’re a kid, get your homework done early, because time will fly by quickly. If you fail your classes because if this, your parents will be pissed.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "This game is phenomenal. Don't get me wrong, if you're someone who doesn't care about storylines, nitpicks graphics and has a hard-on for EV/IV or constantly battling, this Pokemon game might not be for you. And that's totally cool. But for the rest of us who simply enjoyed the stories, characters and all of the Pokemon this is a HUGE step forward for the franchise.\n\nYes, the game can be a little dialogue heavy here and there, but the dialogue doesn't just take away the rest of the game. If you wanted to spend 5+ hours just exploring and catching Pokemon, there's nothing stopping you. You don't have to power through the storyline. (I did, and it took me approximately 33 hours). There are plenty of fun side quests. Most of which are easy and fun. Catch such and such, show me their Pokedex page, craft this... It's nice. Honestly doing a few side quests in between the storyline missions was a good way to break up any potential feeling of monotony.\n\nAnd even though I've beaten the storyline, there's end game content and missions. I still have dozens of Pokedex pages to finish and countless research tasks. Exploring the region becomes easier andore rewarding the further along you get in the game... And there is NOTHING more satisfying than exploring the open world areas and having a shiny spawn.\n\nSome other near steps taken with this game that I enjoyed was the crafting. If you don't want to spend all of your money on PokeBalls or potions... Just make them! Pokemon don't instantly evolve when conditions are met - you get a notification telling you they can, and it's up to your discretion when you let them. Moves!!! It always kinda nerve-wracking when a Pokemon would learn a new move... Because unless you're dead set on a particular move set, it was hard to know if you were getting rid of something that could late game, potentially get you through some tricky scenarios. This game is much more natural in that when a Pokemon learns a new move, it's in a list of moves accessible to them. You can also change and alter the 4 moves they can use at any time via the menu. So there's no end to how easy it is to change up any given scenario if you're in a pinch.\n\nYes, while the game is a little rough in some areas graphics wise there is so much more to be celebrated with this game. Honestly, if you try this game with expectations, you might be disappointed because of how different it is. But if you take care to play this game with an open mind I'm willing to bet you'll enjoy it.\n\nI've spent 20 years playing Pokemon and I can definitely say that I hope they continue in this direction. It lived up to and completely exceeded the hype."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': " I love this game immensely! From crafting to finding new ways to complete the Pokedex entries. Yes, in this story, you are completing the first ever Pokedex (does that make Oak like Edison?). But it's more than that. Side missions of various intentions. Some are about catching a Pokemon to show them or their completed Pokedex entry.\n\nSome revolve around the unique traits of a certain Pokemon (Request 36 is my favorite), such as Request 73. Leif, Duna, and Tarush are having a serious debate on which is the real Burmy, but only because they've only seen one version each of its three cloaks of grass, sand, or trash. So, you gotta find all three and show them they're all correct.\n\nThe Ride Pokemon is seamless, and pressing Left or Right on the D-Pad switches instantly between rides. You can glide through maps with ease once you get all of them, but each one makes the journey easier.\n\nAll in all...WHY DONT YOU HAVE IT YET??"}]

I sent it back to Nintendo under warranty thinking it was a fluke and bought another one while it was being repaired. The first one came back and worked fine but then after a few more months both failed, out of warranty. The problem seems to be the ball cover of the joystick top rubs against the round opening of the case and creates all sorts of plastic dust that gets into the joystick electronic switches and causes them to fail. I opened up the case, blew out the electronics and it worked for a little bit but then the problem came back, even though I kept the joystick top clean. I tried isopropyl alcohol to flush it, vacuumed it out and it worked afterwards for a week of heavy use but then failed again. I was quoted $25 or $29 to repair. But instead I bought a third party one and it has worked longer than the other two and continues to work. Until they fix this design flaw don't throw your money away.

I was so used to playing with joycons after a year of only using them. They were very comfortable as a controller in their own right, with or without the shell. I still want to get the joycons repaired or replaced someday when I get more multiplayer games/\n\nIt took me a day to acclimate to the new controller, but it already feels just as, if not more comfortable than the joycons in the joycon shell. It's heavier but not uncomfortably so, it's comfortable to grip for a few hours of gameplay. Most of the buttons have decent feedback. The battery seems to be almost as good as the joycons were, I got mine last week and still haven't had to charge it since the first day.\n\nIf I had any complaints, it's that the home menu and snapshot buttons are in an awkward location and don't have any good feedback, as they don't protrude out at all. I used to be able to take a video recording in the middle of a Splatoon game without getting pulled out of the action, but now it feels like I have to stop the action to reach the button.\n\nEDIT: Just so you know... it turns out Pro Controllers are not immune to drift. I've got some pretty irritating drift that comes and goes.\nI still say buying one of these is better than buying any more of those stupid defective joycons. You only require joycons for what, one game? A bad remake of an old pokemon game nobody asked for? The only good thing about Joycons is that you can make them into two tiny controllers but i'd honestly rather splurge to have two normal controllers."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "This is fantastic.

It worked, but the controllers either suffered from large analog stick deadzones, and/or incorrect neutral point settings on the analog sticks.

I\'ve been binge playing Payday 2 with said friend plus another friend and even during long weekend gaming sessions, my hands aren\'t sore or cramped thanks to this controller\'s ergonomics.\n\nSo is the price of this controller justifiable?

Enter this beauty! The Pro Controller instantly has a great feel right out of the box, with a nice sure weight that comes from its rumble pack and internal battery. It works great if you have problems using the smaller Joy Con controller in its handle accessory. The controller charges relatively quick, and pairing is easy with the console once you've plugged the charge cable into the Switch base at least once.\n\nMy only beef with it is unless you have a special case that has room for a pro controller, its a pain in the butt to transport/travel with.

I didn\'t realize the Pro Controller had come out until recently but I didn\'t really want to spend the money at the time.\nHowever, I just saw that it was on sale after I bought "Let\'s go Eevee" so I hit the buy it now button and I am really glad I did!!!!\nThe controller is set just like a pair of Joy Cons so no trying to remember a new pattern. It fits very comfortable in my hands and my husband\'s hands. Similar in design as the Xbox and PlayStation controls (see photos for comparison) It has a more rounded feel opposed to the Joy Cons. It feels durable and the battery lasts...I played for two days, all day, while my foot was in a cast and it didn\'t die on me.\nSo far I have played with it on BOTW, Mario Cart 8 and Fortnite.

The battery life is good, the layout makes sense, and it has built in motion-sensors for gyro-scope aiming, which comes in handy for games like "Splatoon 2" and "Zelda: Breath of the Wild." The only major downside to this controller is that the button layout for the "pause" and "home" buttons took a while to get used to, partially since the color scheme can make the buttons look similar. Other than that, I have no real issues with this controller; the battery life is good, and the controller itself is very comfortable, maybe matching the Gamecube controller as my favorite Nintendo controller. I would recommend picking this controller up for your switch. I spent months playing hours of Zelda: Breath of the Wild but worried about the stability of the controller I was using to some extent. Now I can comfortably sit back and play Breath of the Wild for even more hours on end with a controller that feels great! The controller is a little pricey, but more than worth it. So pick it up, and enjoy many hours of fun and comfortable gaming!\n\nPeace,\n\nDana'}]

It totally lives up to expectations. It's in no way perfect, but there's just so much good that I don't see how anybody can be sad. It's a game I'm going to be playing for years, and I'm going to enjoy it for years. If you're a parent, your kids will love playing with all their friends. If you're a returning player, all the nostalgia and great Smash gameplay is here. If you're new to Smash, this is a great game to play with other people.\n\nWhen you first boot up, you'll have access to eight characters: Mario, DK, Link, Samus, Yoshi, Kirby, Starfox, and Pikachu. Unlocks happen pretty quick, but we'll see how long it takes to unlock all 74 characters. I love some of the new costumes like the Mario Wedding costume. I read an online unlock guide that said if you quit the game after unlocking a character and play another quick round that you'll unlock lots of characters quickly. When I say quit the game I mean to exit the game on the Switch home menu. That's worked well so I did that for a while on my Switch to unlock quickly so I could play with lots of characters. I didn't tell my kids about this because I want unlocking on their Switch to be more organic and slower.\n\nLots of characters have pretty big differences in how they play and lots of characters have small differences and lots is the same. I don't even know what to tell you. Switching out pokemon with pokemon trainer is really fast. You can detonate Link's bombs remotely. The basic gameplay is the same so Smash fans will pick up on things really fast. I still think that Smash is the best game for fighting game beginners because the controls are very simple.\n\nGameplay is faster than the past few games. This can make battles more crazy. The only complaint about faster gameplay is that it's harder to keep up with both your character and everything else that's happening on the board. I've lost my character a number of times. I almost wish we could get an option for colored outlines for all the characters. I might just be out of practice, so we'll see if this is still an issue after a while.\n\nIs it balanced? There are 74 characters--who knows! And since Smash for Wii U had balancing updates, this will be different in a year from now. I will say that the kids and I have fought with all sorts of characters and nobody's thought that any seemed overpowered. We're just barely starting to see the changes to characters and how new characters work and we're still unlocking characters. The Smash community will be finding things out for months and opinions are going to change over and over.\n\nI love that you can save rulesets. You can customize the game heavily with more or less stuff. You can have lots of items or no items or specific items or more lives or change the Final Smash options. It's really cool to have all your quick pick favorites but at the same time making rulesets is a little slow. I feel that as I get rulesets made that I'll really like it. Today being new, I've really wanted to make a tweak between games and it's been kinda slow because of all the options available. We are a two switch family and it's going to be a pain to make all our rulesets twice. I really wish there was some way to bring rulesets with you.\n\nI don't know how it could be done better, but the stage select is just one big picture of little tiny squares. It's almost too much. I wish there were an option to show you like 12 random stages rather than all of them. We've mostly played on random so far because it's overwhelming!\n\nThe graphics and animation takes a step up from the Wii U more than I thought it would. The stage graphics are awesome and there are so many new touches that are really cool. The N64 stages feel updated but classic. It runs very smoothly in tv mode and we've not played in handheld mode.\n\nThe music is awesome. There's just so much variety. It all sounds like it's made on a computer, but it's all really good music. I hear there are over 800 tracks...\n\nControls feel great. The joycons aren't the perfect smash controller. The thumbsticks can't keep up with a good player. The pro controller is better, but the gamecube controller just feels right. Maybe I'm nostalgic, but I'm really enjoying playing with the gamecube adapter. My daughters prefer the joycon because that's really the controller they know. My 11 year old son also likes the gamecube controllers (but I guess he could be feeding of my choice). If you're really serious about the game, I really suggest your getting the gamecube adapter. Mine that came with Super Smash Bros Wii U works great, but I see they're selling it separate now. It sold out quite a few times in the Wii U era, so you might want to pick one up now!\n\nLocal multiplayer is awesome. I think you can play with 8 players on every stage. We've had five people playing lots of battles and it's been a whole lot of fun. This is Smash Bros to us!\n\nWe don't play online, so I'm just ignoring that. I'm sure lots of people will be talking about how crappy it is or laggy or great or amazing or horrible. We play with family, with friends, with church youth, and with anyone around a TV.\n\nWorld of light is the single player story mode. My first impression is that it's not as good as Sub-Space Emissary from Smash Brawl, but it looks like a decent way to play alone and unlock more stuff. Kinda like I don't play online, I don't play the story mode that much. My son is excited about it, so I'm glad it's here. I'll just let others who want story mode more review it better. Collecting spirits to affect your character and the stage seems really cool, but I hear that it just means that the uniqueness of the stages go away so all the stages seem the same. You will run into stages with fog. If you have a spirit badge that takes away fog, it just makes it another normal Smash battle. We'll see how fast it gets old for my son.\n\nThey've said there will paid and free DLC. Piranha Plant will be free DLC for early adopters and will be available early next year. There will be 5 paid DLC packs that each has 1 new fighter, one new stage, and music tracks. The first one will be a Persona 5 character! They haven't announced any others yet. These packs will be six dollars each or 25 for the set. They haven't set a date for the DLC but they've said all 5 packs will be available by 2020. I assume one will come every few months.\n\nOverall, it's an awesome game. With the free Piranha Plant, you get 75 fighters to pick from. There are over 100 stages. There's just so much Smash. It plays great and it's a lot of fun. I totally suggest this!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': "Great game. A lot of fun. However, I do have some complaints. I am a noob and it took a lot of work, looking online, youtube videos, and going through the menus to try to figure out what the game was even about, how to win, etc. It also does a pretty poor job of tutorials and the menus aren't very intuitive. There are a lot of confusing mechanics and options in the menu and the translation to english in the tutorials seems like there is something lost in translation.\nAdditionally, I got it for a party tonight, excited that there would be 74 fighters as advertised, but only 8 are available. Fighters are randomly unlocked by playing the game for hours. You might unlock 2 in 1 hour or play for 4 and unlock none. Plus you have no control of who gets unlocked. Excited to play as Snake or Bayonetta? Good luck. Literally. Unlocking them is just random luck. Kind of a shame for people that just want this as a party game and don't want to put in all the effort and time to unlock all the characters that were alluded to being available. Still fun, once you put in the time, unlock the characters, and figure out how to play, I think it will be fantastic."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "This is one of those games where the creators really try to do their best to pack-in EVERYTHING in one tiny little cartridge for a standard price. The game has you start out with just EIGHT characters! If you've been caught up with the game and seen how it works, you already know that the character roster is INSANE. Hours upon hours will be spent unlocking everybody!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "Choosing for glory or for fun was crucial as it didnt force you to play with people who simply wanted to play the game casually online.\n\nNow we must set online preferences and hope we get an opponent with a similar set-up. Not only will you be in matches you didnt agree to be in, but they'll likely be free for all or 1v1 matches with ridiculous and different preferences each match.\n\n.....How does that make the online experience better for anyone?"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Update: Some improvement has been made since launch. Online still needs some fixes, but still much better than before. upgrading from 1 star to 4.\n\nGame feels unfinished. Tons of bugs, and the online is embarrassingly bad. I bought a switch just for smash bros, as I’ve been a smash fan since N64.\n\nProblems with online:\n\nExtremely bad lag. I’m even using the eithernet port 3.0 adapter. It’s just how their servers are set up. One person lags, everyone lags. It’s a problem Noted in lots of discussion forms. Also note this was a problem on previous platforms like the Wii U and was never fixed, so don’t count on Nintendo to fix it anytime soon. I’ll update this review if that changes.\n\nYou can’t really select any of your preferences for a game. You will get put in a 1v1 or 4v4 depending on what the game wants. Forget about choice on items, that hasn’t happened yet. For me at least.\n\nIf you’re here for strictly the single player you might be happy with it. That wasn’t what ultimate was advertised as though. People need to hold Nintendo accountable on this one.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': "Visually it's great and tons of characters/stages but the overall concept of the game is shallow. Just a silly fighting game with zero depth. You do the same thing over and over and over.\n\nBiggest problem is that I cant play online with My FRIENDS against random other players. So sick of getting Nintendoed!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'My freind told me pokemon lets go pikachu/eevee will outsell super smash ultimate....

I am no means a "pro" when it comes to playing Smash Bros. but this game is the best I have played since it\'s first iteration.\n\nLet this be a disclaimer for all the people who have never played a Smash Bros game before, this game is overwhelming and taking it all in is a task within itself. Look at it this way, you bought a Tesla on the sheer fact that it\'s an electric car, only to find it has so many features you have to read a manual, but when you finally grasp the aspects of the car the reward is tremendous! So my advise to you is to take in each feature, one by one, and indulge in each of it\'s aspects. What you will find is a deep and enriching gaming experience that captures what Nintendo is all about, and at the same time you will learn how to truly Smash... your opponent into oblivion.\n\nLike most Smash Bros. enthusiast I loved melee, and deemed it the best of the the series as Brawl ruined my favorite character (fox) and other aspects of what Smash Bros is, but when the Wii U version came out, I loved that game because it was released on the 3DS and I can play Smash Bros. where ever I want when I want and it has an interesting mix of melee and brawl. Now we have Smash Bros. Ultimate and it\'s on the switch, it\'s portable like the 3DS version, it looks amazing graphically, and it leans more towards Melee in terms of its gameplay and speed but not so much that it\'s hard to pick up and play. In other words, it\'s has the best aspects of the series in a amazing package and did I mention that the switch makes it portable :).\n\nIn short, this game is a must have. There is 100\'s of hours of game play in a small cartridge and is worth your time to invest. Again, if you don\'t have time, it\'s portable so you can indulge when ever and where ever you want in what could possibly be, the best switch game yet!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'The Smash Bros franchise games have always been high quality and they just keep getting better. Amazon delivered mine at 9:30am release day with me waiting around the door like a giddy teen girl for her date. I have been awaiting this game more than any other ever since buying a switch. I was hooked right from the opening cinematic which showcases what makes this series so magical to its fans. So many familiar faces from the past 4 decades of gaming as either playable fighters or cameo appearances. All the nostalgia from seeing so many old "friends" gives me the feels... As soon as my wife gets from from her appointment, she joins in. This is her first Smash game and she is seeing what all the hype is about. At 3pm when the 13yo son and 6yo daughter, they both join in. Hours go by with us unlocking new characters and taking turns trying everyone out. We are all jumping out of our chairs/sofa and screaming when someone defeats a challenger and unlocks them for play, clamoring to be the first one to try them out. This game is so much fun, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who had a hand in its creation. The stages are more amazing than ever. The amount of content is staggering,so many items and temporary allies/Pokemon! Whether you have friends or family to play this with, or you are playing solo you owe it to yourself to try this if you have a Switch or are considering getting one. 10/10'}]

No more fighting the adapters!\n\nAs you can see, the dock follows the same style as the console. It almost looks like a mini-PS5 when viewed from above.

It worked OK but getting controllers in and out of the dock required quite a bit of force and the dock itself looked ostentatious. I upgraded and got the official charging station and it is so much better. Controllers can be docked and undocked very easily and "snap" into place to begin the charging process. Additionally, since this sits in my living room and not a dedicated gaming/theater room, the dock itself looks much more unassuming.\n\nGreat purchase, it\'s not for everyone (do you need to spend $30 for a controller holder that will charge as well) but I am very happy with it.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This is the charging station to get for your PS5 DualSense Controllers. Made by Sony for their product, it does everything as it should. It charges two controllers at the same time or one at a time, does it pretty quickly and matches the PS5 console in style. Placing the controller on the charging notch is mostly intuitive and there is a minimally-audible click when it’s been placed correctly. It does require a little practice though, but that’s a minor quibble. The only thing that the charging station lacks is a visual indication on the station itself that the controllers are charging and finished charging. However, the controllers themselves glow by design when charging, so that’s really not needed. As of June 1, 2021, this item continues to be in very high demand and it can still be difficult to actually buy for MSRP. Still, don’t hesitate to buy this if you see that it’s available for regular price or less. Tip: If you’re still having trouble getting it for MSRP, then buy one of the lowest priced 3rd party charging stations instead. Then get this when it comes available for regular price. This way you will probably spend less in the long run than paying an exorbitant marked up price for the Sony charging station.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Decided to buy this charger on a whim when it came back in stock. I’m so glad that I did. The DualSense is an amazing controller but its battery life is quite disappointing. I often found myself having to plug in and charge my controller mid gaming session. Though this was my fault for not charging between sessions. Now I leave my controller on this charging station whenever I’m not gaming. This guarantees that my controller is always fully charged when I’m ready to play. It also provides a cool looking and convenient stand for my DualSense (rather than on the coffee table with a 10 foot cable tethered to the console). I’m really happy with the charging station and feel the $30 is well worth the added convenience and the assurance of a full charge.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Its not important but the item comes pack the same as a PS5 & I personally like this packing system. A thin outer box with the item packed in a heavy cardboard inner box. Meaning the charger is well protected during transport & arrives in A+ condition. The charger is powered with a standard “infinity” cord that plugs into a small transformer the size of a PSP or PS Vita charger with a lead that ends with a small barrel connector. The connector fits into the chargers bottom through a small gap in the rear. The charger sets flat & can be set flush against a back wall if necessary. The charger is heavy. At least heavy for its size & intent. I had anticipated it would turn over easily but it doesn’t & connecting a controller is a breeze. Just set the controller on top & with a little movement it will click into position. MUCH better than the Official PS4 charger. So 5 stars all around & im usually a cynic with console accessories because most are junk & unnecessary.

For $29.99 (retail price) it's really great value! Comes with its own power supply so it is standalone from the PS5 console. Charges controllers quickly and maintains the charge on one or both controllers so they're always ready to go when you're ready to play. The charging dock also charges via the charge contacts on the bottom of the controller instead of the USB C port, which makes it easy to just pop on there when you're done gaming and just as easy to take off again when you're ready to go. The design is quite nice and in tune with the PS5 and Dual Sense Controller design. They all mesh together seamlessly. Don't wait! Get one when they're available as they seem to sell out almost instantly."}]

Kirby The Forgotten Land’s structure is like Super Mario 3D World. Linear selected levels with large open space to explore. Excellent level design, love the creativity of how everything is laid out.\n\nRecent Kirby game series has always targeted younger audiences (can be toddlers first platforming game minus maybe the boss encounters, Treasure Road Challenge levels), but teens/adults can find charm in playing it. The core game is more focused on exploration, environmental (using Kirby’s abilities) problem solving than difficulty. Overall game is not challenging but has a lot of hidden areas/collectables. You can rush through but not as enjoyable unless you’re speed running, if this is your mindset then this game is probably not for you.\n\nTwo difficulty modes: Breezy and Wild\n\nBreezy mode is ridiculously easy if you played any game before; gives you very generous health while limiting coins you can obtain.\n\nWild mode slightly more difficult, but not by much (think very easy mode in most other games).\n\nGraphics are good especially the cutscenes and visual gags. Best looking Kirby game to date.\n\n--Story/plot:\n\nKirby is riding around his warp star and sees a dark storm vortex cloud sucking in Waddle Dees. Ends up being sucked in also and lands in a post-apocalyptic looking world. Kirby finds out that Waddle Dees are being captured in cages and help save them. During his adventure he finds out the dimension/forgotten land he’s sucked into was destroyed by ID-F86 or part of it, and the villains of this world are trying to control/revive it and needs Waddle Dees to do forced labor (running in threadmills).\n\n--Gameplay:\n\nMain gimmick or feature in the game is Mouthful mode transformation where Kirby is nerfed and can’t swallow large objects all the way anymore and instead becomes it (example: car, vending machine, large traffic cone) with abilities. Kirby even has a journal entries reminisce about his past adventures. Anyway, like transformations in past games; only usable for a segment of the level before you hit a stop-gap where you have to give it up. Kirby also not able to float as much as his other games and gets out of breath easily\n\nKirby’s Copy abilities (12 total) are still present when you suck up enemies and steal their power like sword, boomerang, fire breath, throw bombs, etc.\n\nGame does a excellent job integrating mouthful mode and copy abilities in its creative level design\n\nThere’s also an upgrade system for Kirby’s Copy abilities giving them more AOE range, higher overall damage, bounce off walls, more fast consecutive damage, and/or more defensive options. Similar to Ratchet & Clank power up upgrades. You can upgrade Kirby abilities through an-in game Waddle Dee shop via blueprints and stones you’ve collected\n\nAs you save Waddle Dees they form a town in a hub area where you can interact with them and upgrade abilities, play mini-games (like fishing, working fast food via QTE, moving ball Kirby through motion control maze, etc), and boss rush mode\n\nThere are several challenges per level giving you more re-playability by finding more collectables, defeat enemies a certain way/taking no dmg, solving a hidden puzzle, find hidden area, and/or saving all waddle dees in the level.\n\nThere’s also Treasure Road challenge levels where you must beat a stage with a set ability in a certain time frame\n\nThere’s a coin capsule machine which you spend coins to get random capsules with mini statues inside . No microtransactions in the game\n\nThere is drop-in/drop-out co-op where the second player plays Bandana Waddle Dee with a spear (cannot use any of Kirby’s special abilities/mouthful mode). Seeing the wide spaces in levels, movement is limited and centered around whoever is playing Kirby. If you drift too far apart then Bandana Waddle Dee will auto teleport to Kirby. Great for friends and family members to help in the adventure if they don’t want to play the main role themselves\n\nVery fun Kirby game. Huge leap in enhancements for the series like how Elden Ring did to the Souls series, Zelda Breath of The Wild did for the Zelda series, Super Mario 64 did for Mario series'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I haven't played this game yet but will soon, I only played the demo.

After having trouble figuring out how Minecraft was going to work under the Nintendo Online system I went ahead and bought two versions and started fiddling with it. That's when I noticed how poor the system works with 2 big problems.\n\n1. The game in theory, will let people (each with their own Nintendo Online account) to play together without using Microsoft Realms. I thought this would be a godsend, but it seems Nintendo hasn't done a great job aligning the features and my son soon realized that you can create a new world and both of us can play on it, but when we log out he can no longer join that server. Doesn't matter if I make the server/world, or if he does, you seem to only get 1 play out of it. I looked at NAT types, I've tried port forwarding, and slew of other things. Nintendo/Mojang support is not helpful either with this problem apparently plaguing other users.\n\n2. The game itself is very buggy considering how it seems Nintendo Online handle latency and other issues. I found myself disconnected on a few occasions, or situations where I could no longer see my son's avatar even though he was right in front of me (I witnessed this over facetime). Other issues like landscape (FOV) not appearing seem pretty common in multiplayer.\n\nThe singleplayer is fine and the controls once you get used to them work great, but the primary reason I got 2 copies of this was so I could play online and that feature is doesn't work. If the problem can be resolved I'll change my review.\n\nUpdate: 6+ months later and the Nintendo Online feature still does the same thing and I've had to continue paying for a microsoft realm for us to both play on."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Great game, have it all on systems and pc and it's just a great game to have.

Well for one you can just not break Am I right? This coming from someone who has been through 3 of them. The top strap is a nice addition. But what else can you do for quality of life changes.

I\'m glad I did.\n\nThis product is a game-changer for people who prefer stability on their heads. I tried a halo strap, the strap was very nice and comfortable, I couldn\'t stand the way it didn\'t actually lock onto my head. This headset not only locks in place, it provides ample room for me to do so, it is extremely comfortable, and it is strong. It does everything that the Amazon Suggested Orzero Headset does AND corrects on all the negatives that I read in those comments. The detailed review will be below.\n\nThe Pros\n\nThe design is fantastic. It feels strong, the plastic does not feel cheap or makes noises when tightening the straps with the knob on the back. Sturdy, spacious, I can wear it for hours and not feel any pain.\n\nIt actually cuffs the back of your head. One of the biggest complaints I\'ve seen about a lot of these "Pro" headstrap alternatives is that they don\'t actually cuff the back of your head. This one does, and it does so in a way that I think the majority of people\'s form factor will actually just not be a factor.\n\nThe memory foam on the back makes it feel like you\'re being caressed instead of squeezed. You can remove the memory foam for easier storage if necessary and easily snap it back into place.\n\nThe straps are long for those unfortunate enough to have been born with an otherwise elongated, saggy cranium.\n\nThe turning lock is easy to use, does not harm me when laying down on my bed watching VR Theaters, and feels sturdy.\n\nThe headstrap is flexible, although the image and the video shown makes it look a bit more sturdy. The memory foam on top of it also helps with the weight displacement quite a bit. I highly recommend using it.\n\nI can\'t find any cons with this headstrap.

While browsing, I saw this one from KIWI, and had to try it. I’m glad I did.

Was received ontime and in-package contents as described. Installed with no issues. When it stays attached to the oculas headset - the padding provides a better stabilized headset and is more comfortable than the standard out of the box Oculus strapping. The BIG issue, however, is that the padded strapping does not stay connected to the Oculus headset as intended. It attaches via two "snap in" platic tabs on the Oculus base. However, they do not stay connected. They can become disengaged if you attempt to adjust the headset while wearing and will especially come undone when removing the headset. This is not as intended and is a real pain that ruins the experience everytime I remove the headset (as I think to myself, I should have spent the money on the Oculus accessory instead). I thought it was me, and tried several times to get the tabs to "lock in" to the Oculus, but it just doesnt work. My advice. Skip this - spend the extra $20-30 and get the real deal.\n\nUPDATE: After reviewing my comments, the seller contacted me to let me know that I might have the headset installed incorrectly. There is a "L" and "R" indicator on the KIWI that matches to the indicators on the actual Oculus headset. I had it wrong!

This strap already has a sturdy round connection in place that also pivots upwards, making removing the headset a breeze.\n\nThis head strap also has decent padding and the knob mechanism is smooth and works well, only time will tell how reliable it is.

Got a free replacement from the support team, the replacement straps cracked within days. I've been relying on duct tape to keep the thing together, which is NEVER something you should be saying about a $100+ product.\n\nNow flash forward to this month - got my girlfriend the Kiwi strap as an early Christmas gift and I hate myself for ever ordering the official Oculus one. It weighs practically nothing, has soft padding all over, has a hinge joint for easy removal that doesn't stress the strap arms - AND IT GIVES YOU WAY MORE SPACE NEAR YOUR EARS!\n\nI can't stress the ear part enough. After an hour or so of using the Elite strap, my ears are sore and marked from the Elite's straps digging into me. They're far too close to the head, and need to be directly on top of my ears for the headset to sit correctly on my face. Meanwhile, the Kiwi strap gives a solid gap due to the hinge joint, and seems like it would give plenty of room no matter who's wearing it.

Not a big deal.\n- when tightening the headset with the knob, you get nice, mechanically sound clicks. If you loosen the knob while still wearing it... it sounds like you\'re breaking the mechanism with loud cracks, pops, and uneven loosening rate. I STRONGLY suggest removing the headset when loosening the mechanism.\n- you may find yourself needing to wear the back part "higher" on your head to clear the cans on some headphones.\n\nOverall, this seems like a "must" for Oculus owners, especially at this price point. Hugely improves VR experience.'}]

You’re on an island, and it’s your job to build and populate it how you see fit. The level of detail and the amount of things that you can do is pretty staggering. And it’s all done with a level or adorable that is infectious, which given the times we find ourselves, is a much needed distraction.\n\nAll of the content is rated E for Everyone, and you won’t find anything offensive or objectionable in the game.\n\nThe controls are mostly very easy to use and quick to learn, even for kids.\n\nThe short version is that you combine resource gathering and management, with crafting new items, building homes, and customizing every detail of your community. From building waterfalls, to going fishing, and decorating the interior of your house. There’s a lot of detail in all of these things, and you’re free to create at will.\n\nOne of our favorite details is the day/night cycle which in sync’d the to Switch’s internal clock. So it’s morning in-game, when it’s morning in your timezone. It’s dark when it’s dark outside for you... you get the idea. It’s just a nice touch in-game.\n\nYou can also play online with friends, allowing others to enter your town and send them messages in-game. Likewise you can visit a friend’s island remotely, or in-person through local multiplayer.\n\nHighly recommended!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'You can\'t create a different island per user/account.\nOnce you have created an island on your console, all users have to share it.\nGood luck if you have two or more kids...\n\nNintendo got away with forcing us to buy one game per user for years and years with Pokemon and Animal Crossing, and now they want us to buy one CONSOLE per user.

Use the workbench to craft furniture from materials/resources gathered on the island. There is tool durability which you have to keep track of and re-craft\n\n20. Able to place furniture items both indoors and outdoors\n\nOverall very fun and addicting game where you can express yourself through gameplay. A lot of quality of life improvement compared to past games in the franchise. BEST game in the franchise in my opinion (Wished it had NES games though).

As a lady that enjoys playing video games with my husband I honestly expected to be able to play full multiplayer in this game. This game does not allow full 2 player capabilities as the 2nd play is very neutered in what they can do. There is far too much controller shaking involved in trying to be able to do anything in order to give the other person a chance at playing with all items and access to the bag and shop. We both wanted to have a full two player co-op experience and you just don't get that with this game at all. It's the biggest let down game moment for us since Splatoon 2 was online co-op or multi-switch co-op only. While I'll still play my game and enjoy it I would absolutely love the game if it had a full multiplayer setup. I just feel such disappointment.\n\nThis game could've been perfect but it missed it's chance."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'LOCKED to 1 player per console!

If you were fooled before then you shouldn't be worried while buying this 👍"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I guess the best way to describe Xbox Game Pass is to call it the Netflix of Video Games. The Game Pass Ultimate subscription is a combination of Game Pass for Xbox, Game Pass for PC, and Xbox Gold. “Games as a service” seems to the way things are moving now, with Microsoft committing to make their first-party games available on Game Pass on launch day, but there are some drawbacks to this approach as well.\n\nOn the surface level, Game Pass Ultimate seems like an unbeatable value, giving you access to 100+ games on both Xbox and PC, but there are some annoyances and negatives too. Firstly, there isn’t a unified way to navigate through all of your Game Pass content. Xbox games are generally handled through the Game Pass store on your Xbox. PC games are handed in the Microsoft store app and they’re often slightly buggy or lacking in terms of control customization, graphics settings, etc. Xbox Gold gives you some free games, but you need to go through a separate process to add them to your account. Games obtained through Games with Gold work a bit differently than Game Pass in the sense that they will always be available to play (they won’t ever leave the service), with the Xbox 360 titles being yours to keep no matter what and the Xbox One titles requiring an active subscription.\n\n*** Update 10/15/2020 ***\nMicrosoft has been refining the Game Pass experience since I first wrote this review. It is now easier to navigate and browse Game Pass content on both Xbox and PC. Claiming Games with Gold on Xbox no longer requires you to go through the motions of buying the game at $0.00 ~ you can just add it to your account directly. For PC, the Xbox app has been updated so that you can directly browse Game Pass content separately from the Store app. I\'ve tried a few of the "newer" offerings such as MechWarrior 5 and Outer Worlds, and they have a respectable amount of customization for graphics settings, etc. Overall, Game Pass is becoming better and better.\n\nThe second negative is that games are constantly being added and removed, though they will give you a 30 day notice before doing so. If you’re more of a casual gamer, it might not be enough time to finish the titles and if you don’t pay attention to the Xbox news channels, you might not even know a game has been removed until it fails to start. Game Pass usually doesn’t contain the add-on content, so if you bought DLC for a Game Pass title that got removed, you won’t be able to play unless you get the main game again, either in digital or physical form.\n\nWith respect to this digital code purchase on Amazon, I think it’s pretty easy. The code shows up in your email box (associated with your Amazon account) after you finish checking out. If you have any promo codes such as buy-one-get-one-free, they will also show up in your mailbox. You can redeem multiple 3-month (or whatever) pre-paid memberships and they will stack up. Personally, I go to the Microsoft Accounts site and enter these codes from the subscription management area. In the case that you’ve set up a credit card for reoccurring billing, these pre-paid membership codes will basically push your billing date back.\n\nI\'ve only bought codes like Xbox Live or Microsoft Office directly from Amazon, and I haven\'t had any issues so far.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Love this option for subscription. I got at least 10 new games that I enjoyed playing and played through. That’s just for the month alone. And it comes with Live? What a deal. ONLY DOWNFALL.. And it’s kind of a biggie.. Is that if you have regular live (like I do. I buy a yearly subscription) it is used simultaneously and will not add to the time you have live but instead still take up that month of regular live you have.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'If you have an Xbox one (or future people, if you have the next gen Xbox) you need the gamepass ultimate. Crazy value if you care about playing games more than owning them for an amazing price relative to the amount you pay. 3 months were on sale for $24 for 3 month codes during Black Friday. That a no brainer. Even at the normal price it’s a definite buy. As long as they keep adding in recent (and sometimes brand new releases) to the pass, I’ll be a subscriber.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "This is like Netflix for gaming, except the game is downloaded in full to your Xbox.

A great deal."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Finally I found a way to pay early.

During this time around Black Friday it was offered for half price. Plus there are a lot of benefits with the ultimate membership so I believe there is good value in subscribing it. For example you can actually download games for the PC as well as for Xbox. There a good list of games that you can select from. I ended up buying around six months worth for this membership.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I usually buy this when there are deals on these cards, cheaper than $15. Even the $15 is a pretty good price for what you get, access to a hundred games, plus discounts to game purchases. I buy the digital cards/codes directly from Amazon, and every single code has worked for me in the past year. After getting the code, go to your Xbox > Store >Redeem Code, and enter the code. There are always at least 15 big name titles, even some brand new releases included in the game pass, and I usually only spend my time trying to finish 2 or 3 games within the month. But that's still cheaper than buying the game in my opinion. Definitely worth it."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'It works, I got two 3 month digital code subscription from Amazon, then I went to xbox.com to my account and I Turned off recurring billing and proceed to use my two 3 month codes from amazon and the xbox.com page offered me 1 additional xbox game pass ultimate for free if I turn on the recurring billing when my subscription ends in november, I did that and now I have 7 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $45, thank you Amazon!'}]
