My 2 cent Nintendo, EA and Activision

For this my 2 cent video for the week of Oct 15 though 20 I give my thoughts on Nintendo new update for the Switch & a change in there review policy, EA shutting down Visceral Games & the chance that Star Wars Battlefront 2 coming to the Switch (which I doubt) and Activision file a patent for micro transaction.



Part 1 Nintendo - 0:18 to 13:58

Knack 2 review

My review of Knack 2 for the PS4. For gameplay footage click here - https://youtu.be/DWZB66cNBdE



Part 1 Pro - 0:18 to 5:23

Improve gameplay

Better story…

Option to have the game run at 30fps (I choose not to)





Part 2 Cons - 5:29 to 11:55

Fix camera can be an issue sometimes

Visuals are good but not mind blowing

…But not the greatest story

Part 1 Pro - 0:18 to 5:49

An actual story

Solid gunplay/gameplay (feels a bit open world)

Better loot system



Part 2 Cons - 5:55 to 11:22

Most enemies are rehash from the first game

Micro transactions  (there for cosmetic now but worried it will turn into a pay to win situation)
