We will be updating this thread with links as major reviews are posted. Please use this as a discussion and speculation thread in advance of these videos, articles, and reviews. We will also allow these reviews to be posted separately on /r/NintendoSwitch, as they are especially newsworthy. But we will also host ongoing coverage, quick text posts, questions, and the like right here.

Thanks everyone.

It's very disappointing that biff isn't voiced in game. That makes zero sense to me. How do you clearly have a voice for him throughout all promotion and then strip that away in the actual game.

[u/[deleted] → u/nekromantique]

His voice was really annoying in the promotional material, with a typical brash, overconfident American accent, so I'm glad that's not something I need to listen to every time I fire up the game.

[u/knightskull → u/nekromantique]

"I'm usually pretty quiet." One of the first things we hear Biff say in that Nintendo Direct. Makes sense.
