Yup! It was announced today along with RPG Maker MV and The Princess Guide (known as Four Princess Knights Training Story in Japan)

Keep in mind the original release of Caligula was mixed but harshly panned. So the team decided to remake the game instead of doing a sequel and they're adding twice as much content and re-writing the story and adding more side quests, revamping the user interface, etc, which a lot of that stuff or things people had complained about in the original.

This new version got a pretty decent score from Famitsu, so I'm hoping they have taking care of a lot of the issues people originally had with the game because it seems like a really awesome Persona type game.

Skullgirls was announced for Switch

Nintendo Life still hasn’t posted an article about any of the game announcements that were announced today.

To be fair it was late. The Staff are allowed to time off.

Asterix & Obelix XXL2 is coming to Switch. I've never played these, and they look a bit repetitive, but bashing Centurions never gets boring, surely. Should I hype?

Huh ?!

@JaxonH The hell did I mention Okami?

Anyway the reason I asked which version of Ys it was is because it had the kind of specular artifacting ckmmon on 3D PSP titles

Also where do you expect me to buy a Vita?

The next Dream Friends update for Kirby Star Allies launches 27th July.

TWEWY is going to look embarrassing, with its $60 price tag, next to Okami HD, an HD remaster of an iconic title with touched up controls that is only going for a third of that price.

@JaxonH Given how mixed the reception to the original was, I'm definitely going to need some convincing on Caligula Effect. Hope it turns out well, though! I'd love to have a good Persona-esque game on Switch.

@Ralizah That DS game is $60?!

Like seriously, anyone wanna tell me where I mentioned Okami?

Still feels TWEWY might be $40 or 50 since the Japanese price isn't full price, but who knows?

@Octane That's what retailers are listing the HD remaster of TWEWY on Switch at. I really hope it's just a placeholder price...

$29.99 would be the sweet point, I think, but I'd be willing to pay $39.99.

Okami is a long game, and the Switch port has had some decent work put into it, based on the differing control schemes for physical and handheld. $20 feels almost overly generous.

I'm still tripping over skullgirls. If i can get a vs game and some kind of soul calibur game (II HD please) I'm moth balling my ps4 for fighting games (the outliers I have on pc as well).

@Ralizah Personally understand why you don't want it to be $60, but why is $30 the sweet point though?

It has all new graphics, and seems to have extra scenario (Which I still have no idea how long, BUT if it's a whole new week...), controls are various ways with normal touch, and motion at minimum? Then there's musics that they are revamping as well.

It gives a lot, and not merely just a HD upgrade.

@Ralizah You can always wonder how much work that truly is. Probably a few guys adjusting some settings for a couple of days. You'd be surprised what a single programmer can achieve in a single day. A quick port, a game that was running on half a dozen systems already. I can see why it's still very profitable at $20.

I think most of us are sometimes conditioned into thinking that everything related to gaming has to be expensive because some companies charge way more than they need!

@darkfenrir The graphics aren't all new, they appear to be straight from Solo Remix. That said, the rest of your points are definitely true. If it does hit the $60 price point, the new scenario better be at least a full week. Which, everything is pointing to anyways (the teaser did say NEW 7 DAYS at the end of Solo Remix after all), but that's another third to the game. If that's the case, I'd definitely be okay with $50, and grumpily accept $60. It was totally worth $60 in it's original release in my opinion anyways. I think the japanese price is around $43 though, for what that's worth.

Man, the Switch being a JRPG behemoth is all that I really need. RPGs and platformers are my two most favorite genres out there.

@link3710 Yeah, Japanese release is around JPY 5184 on Amazon, but there's another from Amazon as well that has it on JPY 4467

(can see it here: https://www.amazon.co.jp/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?__mk_ja_JP=カタ�... first 2 entries)

Might be $50, but I would think it's likelier to be $40... but we'll see.

@Octane I personally thought gaming is one of the cheapest entertainment! In general you get around at least $2/hour, with some going up to $1/hour or even less.

@darkfenrir A deck of cards is only a few bucks and it gives you countless hours of entertainment. Maybe you should switch hobbies

@Octane Eh, proper deck of cards can go for thousands of dollars, depending on what you aim
