A next-generation robot strategy RPG set in a sci-fi alternate reality, in which Starchildren~humans who have been granted special abilities~take on an extraterrestrial threat. Relayer~s battle system focuses on combat robot types and jobs, which represent a unit~s unique characteristics, and aggro, a stat which visualizes how easily enemies target them. Relayer also features exciting special attacks such as Backstab, a pincer move, and Big Bang, a move with a vast area of effect. The story takes place on Earth in the year 2051, in a future where humanity~s expansion into outer space is in full swing. Earth is in the midst of an invasion by mysterious extraterrestrial beings called Relayers. Humans with special abilities, called Starchildren, have also appeared, along with the legacy of an ancient alien civilization that is said to have died out centuries ago. Players command a squadron of Stellar Gear, humanoid weapons developed from the technology of that extinct alien civilization, and the Asterism, a ship capable of interstellar travel, to defend Earth from the invading Relayer aliens.

A Visual Novel/SRPG Hybrid that delivers.
on June 3, 2022
Posted by: Gaming101
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was an enjoyable surprise. One part Visual Novel, one part Strategy Role Playing Game. Add in some impressive battle scenes and anime graphics and you have a Science Fiction tale that delivers.
Earth is under attack by Relayers - a humanoid race from the stars that seeks to extinguish all life and expedite the destruction of the universe. You play as the Star Children, gifted earthlings with the power to combat this threat with mechanical robtots called Stellar Gears.
The main character, Terra, an amnesiac Star Child who lost her sister Luna in one of these attacks a couple of years before is thrown into the conflict again when the moon gets attacked. What happened to her sister and why are these aliens really attacking. Who can be trusted and what are the ulterior motives of both sides of the conflict?
Be Prepared for great battles and some pretty long story scenes. The character designs are beautifully drawn and the voice acting (especially the Japanese) is well done from what you would expect in an anime. The music is also very heroic and something expected of a SciFi RPG. The battles I have played so far are also pretty balanced and require a good strategy of offense and defense during turns.
Even though it is 59.99, this is a special limited release of the game (it was digitally released a few months ago), so I would pick this up if you are fan of these Japanese types of games.

A Beautiful figure and true to the Arms fighting character. The colors pop and the pose is very cool looking. She worked great in Smash Brothers and training with her has been a blast!
If you are fan of Smash or just a collector of Amiibo, this is a no brainer to get.

Great workout on the Switch.
on October 23, 2021

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you want a great workout, pick this one up. Similar to Fitness Boxing when it comes to the punching and being in rhythm, you get knee lifts, blocking, kickboxing and other martial arts motions. The music isn't licensed but it is upbeat and gets you going and the trainers give good direction. If you don't know how to do an exercise, you can click on to see a visual example. The better you do in a workout ears you "crowns" and by earning them you unlock other trainers and exercise workouts.
You can do a daily work out which are about 10 minutes or do separate 3 minute (a few minutes longer) workouts which can focus on a particular martial arts, punching or just a fast workout.
The only issues I found is that sometimes, (but rarely) a joy con would not register but for 99% of the time, a punch, block, elbow or even moving the arm with a kick (that is how it is registered) worked. Also, unlike Fitness Boxing, you cannot customize the trainers and do not get an incentive of new clothes or accessories. The incentive is either unlocking new trainers or new workouts.
Overall, I think for the price it is a great pick up with a great workout.

Great game, decent port.
on October 8, 2021
Posted by: Gaming101
Verified Purchase:Yes
Platinum Games is popular for properties like Bayonetta and their work on games such as Transformers Devastation. This is a weird game to say to least but worth playing.....definitely for fans of Super Hero or Japanese Sentai (Power Rangers) type shows.
Here you control dozens of heroes and have to use a combat by commitee to take down enemies and large creatures as well as advance the story in the game. You can create giant fists, weapons and paths using all of your heroes to combine. Sometimes the controls can be weird which is why I knock it down a star. Sometimes, it felt better on the Wii U but whether for Switch or WiiU, it can feel weird to pull off certain moves as you fight some of the controls in the heat of battle. Still, it is worth a pick up for the price and with practice, you do get better.
Recommended for fans of Super Hero shows and looking for something different to play.

If you are a fan, pick it up!

Verified Purchase:Yes
This was a pleasant surprise and a great game. This was a limited run physical game but it is still being offered here on Best Buy. The game is tight with great graphics and smooth combat. You can get additional weapons or fight with your fists and continue to upgrade jack and get better moves. The story takes place right at the end of the anime so if you are a fan who has seen the finale, pick it up to see some epic an extension of what we experienced. Voice work is excellent and there are even some hidden areas to explore and gain items. So far, it seems that if you miss something, you have to keep going in the game but not a deal breaker.
Highly recommended for anyone who is a fan of the show or loves samurai/martial arts games (but I highly recommend seeing the show before buying as it takes place right before the end).

A sequel and homage done right

Hands down the best brawler out there at the moment. Excellent music, beautiful graphics and the combat is just too sweet. Whether you are new to the genre or a veteran, you will be able to jump right in by yourself or with a friend and start pummeling the trash on the streets. Returning characters from previous games as well as a few new faces keep this fresh as well as a risk/reward special move system that lets you do massive damage while giving you the opportunity to win back your health if you can continually hit enemies without getting hit.
Multiple playthroughs allow you to unlock new character sprites and other extras. Balanced difficulty and a fun ride.
If you love brawlers or if you are interested in what the hype is about this genre, this is the game to pick up.

Works great but broken in a little over a month

Posted by: Gaming101
Verified Purchase:Yes
This Ultra Fit was very small but worked great. Files and music were simple to transfer and play back had no issues.
The big issue is that it broke in a little over a month of use. The plastic loop that is attached at the end cracked and within a day fell off and now the actual Drive is cracked at the seam at the top. Very flimsy and would not purchase again.
Unfortunately, the return date has passed. I have had to tape it together in order to be able to safely remove it from my computer/stereo - and this was with normal usage and never dropping it or stepping on it.
I would not recommend this product. Get something sturdier until they figure out how to make these compact flash drives more sturdier.

A Whale of a Wash, Oh My Gosh!
on November 11, 2019
Posted by: Gaming101
Verified Purchase:Yes
I loved this movie ever since I witnessed it in theaters. Now, it is finally on Blu ray! (with a digital to boot).
All the actors do an excellent job of playing their parts in this rags to high-end reef tale. If you have never seen it, do it.
Oscar (Will Smith) wants to get out of his dead end Whale-wash job and be a somebody. However, when he gets into severe financial trouble with his boss and is actually left for dead to sleep with the fishies, a crazy coincidence happens that has everyone thinking he is a Superhero Shark Slayer.
Believing that he actually killed a shark (of course he didn't, a boat anchor accidentally did), he is propelled to stardom! However, when Don Lino (De Niro) and the Sharks (think Godfather type mafia) want to track down Oscar, all things start to get crazy. Throw in the fact Don Lino's Vegetarian son, Lenny (Jack Black) knows witnesses what happens and seeks asylum with Oscar because he doesn't want to take over the family business, then all hell breaks lose. A beautiful tale of telling the truth and knowing you are a somebody by who you are and the friends/family you keep are not wasted.
This looks beautiful in 4K and the digital was easy to download. This has a dynamite soundtrack as well.
I highly recommend this movie if you are ever feeling down at the bottom of the reef!

A funny and excellent family film that comes with digital to boot! (no pun intended).
The origins of this Zorro-esque feline is revealed as we witness how he rose from a lowly orphan to the hero of his village. However, after falsely being cast out as a villain, Puss in Boots returns to find the mythical Goose who lays the golden eggs. Add in an electrifying performance by Salma Hayek as Kitty Softpaws and the quick-witted Zach Galifianakis as Humpty Dumpty and you have motley crew ready to collect their booty. - that is if the nefarious Jack and Jill don't get their hands on them first.
Movie looked excellent for this budget priced Blu-ray and the Digital also redeemed with no issue. The special features and bonus cartoon were an excellent touch as well.
You don't need to see the Shrek films to appreciate this one. Highly recommended!

Fun movie but a bit different than the first
on September 14, 2019
Posted by: Gaming101
Verified Purchase:Yes
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is a direct sequel to Jurassic World. The park of course has been closed but now the island is unstable due to volcanic activity. Claire is now a part of a Dino Activist group who wants to save them and she recruits Owen (for some reason they decided to have them separated in this movie) to help her in tracking Blue (Velociraptor from the first film).
However, not is all as it seems as her sponsor has more in mind then just rescuing the dinosaurs. This is where the movie takes a sinister turn complete with international entities vying for these creatures and the taboo of cloning being brought to the fore front. Of course, there has to be a more dangerous dinosaur presented as well. I won't spoil any more as you will have to watch it to gain the full picture.
The movie is gorgeous in 4K and the sound is clear. The movie did come with a 4K digital copy as well.
If you can stop taking the movie seriously and do not mind the shift in tone for the second half, you should enjoy it. Just understand, that gone is the wonder of the park scenes and horrors of saving civilians running rampant with dinos in the first movie. Now, you have messages of activism, corporate greed, taboo cloning and more international players - with some closed spaces involved in the second half. In some ways it is similar to Lost World Jurassic Park with some interesting plot devices.
Hope you enjoy!

Definitive Collection of Spider Man movies
By Gaming101
What can I say. These are some of the best Spider-man movies ever made. You get the original Raimi trilogy and the Webb reboots. All 4K and look beautiful!
In addition, you get digital versions of all. The trilogy was 4K versions but the Amazing versions came as 1080P digital only - at least that is the way the one digital app did it. Sound came through beautifully as well.
The steelbooks included are beautiful. One for each universe of movies and are well worth it for collectors.
I am sure most know all about these movies but the Raimi films chronicle Toby Maguire as Peter Parker from High School through becoming a staff photographer at the Daily Bugle, the death of his Uncle Ben and his up and down relationships with Mary Jane and Harry Osborne. Excellent villains between Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus and eventually Sandman and Venom.
The Webb series chronicle Garfield's Peter Parker as he deals with the disappearance of his parents and trying to find out the mystery of their research. A strong relationship with Gwen Stacy develops and Spidey has to match wits against The Lizard and eventually a slew of villains in the sequel. Where Toby's focused on his relationship with his friends and living up to his Uncle's mantra of "Great power comes great responsibility," Garfield's focuses on building confidence in himself and then later dealing with the self-imposed responsibility of protecting Gwen. I will give kudos to Jamie Foxx's Electro as well as Giamati's Rhino and DeHann as Harry Osborne. I personally would have loved to see where the series could have gone.
Anyone who may need a little break from Tony Stark's apprentice or may want to reminiscence about Spider-man before the Marvel deal, check these 4K HDR versions out! Stay Frosty!

Can this be played on a switch lite, or is it only able to be played with the joy cons?

You need to use the Joy Cons in order to play this game. Unless you can put the Switch Lite in table top mode and play off the little Switch screen with separate Joy Cons, then I don't see any other way.

What accessories do you need for this game? Leg and arm bands? Boxing controls?

You just need your Joy Cons and space in your room. The Joy Cons pick up your movements. When you do the kicks, you also move the Joy Cons. That's it!
