@NEStalgia I know it's too early but so far I'd say 2013-2014 was the better time period on the Nintendo front. 2017 Switch is rather weak compared to 2013 3DS and 2014 Wii U from what's been announced so far.
Two reviews for Persona 5 so far. One from Playstation Official Magazine UK. The other from Push Square. Both perfect scores! The word "masterpiece" seems to be cropping up a lot.
@Grumblevolcano Hmm, 13-14 was ok for Nintendo definitely. I'm not sure 16-17 is too bad though, I mean that includes Color Splash, Tokyo Mirage, Fates, Echoes, Z:TP:HD, SF:0, M&L Paper Jam, Bravely Default 2, a new Ace Attorney (the best in years) and I know I'm forgetting things on the Nintendo side + BotW, Odyssey, maybe-maybe-not Xenoblade, Splatoon 2. Nintendo overall has done a lot in that 2 year time frame. Plus for Sony, Horiozon, Persona, Uncharted 4, Gravity Rush 2, Last Guardian (10 years late is better than never!)Ratchet (darnit still haven't ordered that!). Tons of stuff going on in general this year.
Switch is kind of weak in terms of quantity (so far), but the franchises coming out are the big ones everyone waited for on WiiU, so it's kind of a draw.
@Ralizah I mean... maybe I'll try it out some day... I think the visuals are very pleasing to look at, I'm afraid I can't get into the story and gameplay.
@Ralizah Kotaku's probably saving up for a 3 part essay. Good behavior without inciting controversy everywhere possible is too much to ask of the Gawker network.
How to write a game review: Is there a gender issue to cover? Is there a race issue to cover? Is there a sexual orientation issue to cover? If the answer to all three is no, INVENT ONE ANYWAY! (Kotaku/Polygon Employee Handbook).
All that aside, glad to hear it's as awesome as it sounds. sigh and it reminds me how sad I am that it's not on Switch. I'd be playing day 1 and for the next 3 months if it were Instead it's relegated to the "when I'm in all winter and never leaving the couch" pile.
@NEStalgia The game would be WONDERFUL on the Switch. I am disappointed it's not, but... if there's one game I'll hide in a dark room to play, it's this.
I'd even buy an Xbox One to play this game, if I had to.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: while I love playing a variety of games, I could still be very happy and satisfied only ever playing Nintendo and ATLUS releases.
@Ralizah Nope, not at all unfortunately. I remember when Cyber Sleuth came out last year, it looked pretty good (well, not bad at least), but then I remembered that I wasn't looking forward to random overworld encounters and long turn-based battles... so I never bought the game. Pokemon is pretty much the only turn-based RPG I could get into, and it's probably due to the fact that there was little story in the games, cause I'm not a big fan of the more recent games at all.
@Octane Wasn't a bad call on Cyber Sleuth. It was really mediocre, in my opinion. Maybe you just need to be a Digimon fan to really enjoy it?
I'm kind of that way with most Western AAA shooters/RPGs. I just can't motivate myself to play them, even if everyone swears up and down how some of them are the greatest things since sliced bread. The Witcher 3 with all the DLC is only $25 on Steam right now. I have a PC that can run it at 60 fps at probably max settings. Nevertheless, it just doesn't seem appealing.
@NEStalgia I did say in comparison though. If you don't compare anything then 2016-2017 is ok on the Nintendo front so far but I also know that we can't fully judge the situation until at least after E3. E3 2014 was of course one of the many things that made Nintendo 2013-2014 so fantastic.
@Grumblevolcano All true, but we can't ignore that half of the things that were announced at E3 2014 that made it awesome are the things we ended up getting in 16-17 (ZeldaU, Tokyo Mirage, SF0, ok Xenoblade was 2015) That's the great tragedy fo the WiiU. E3 2014 was the entire remainder of the console's lifespan more or less. I'll be happy with dates for NA on SMTV, DQXI, and XC2. Anything else is a bonus

Your definition of 'awesome' is quite broad if Star Fox Zero is part of that...
@Ralizah Haha yeah. I'm still holding out false hope that it will be announced for Switch at E3 or something. I'll keep my Take Your Heart Edition in shrink wrap forever and play the heck out of the switch one. If there's one game I'd LOVE to play on the hybrid machine it's this one I know it isn't and can't be and for whatever reason has always been Sony-only (probably paid rights), I still will hold out hope. P5 will come to Switch, Elvis will return, Glenn Miller will be located, and the Dreamcast will be a success! You'll see! I Know it will be true! I know it!
@Octane Different strokes. I liked SF Zero as well.
Looking forward to Persona but I won't be getting it at launch. Switching to book purchases for the next few months.
