Can we get a SECOND Mario RPG? With Paper Mario completely abandoning what made it great, M&L growing stale (unless that remake of the first game holds up, I guess...), and Square Enix and Nintendo being on good terms with each other..... the timing couldn't be better.
Yes, please. Or better yet, bring back the old Paper Mario. The Thousand Year Door remains one of my favorite games of all time, and it really sucks how much they've changed the series. I still think very few Nintendo games can compare with TTYD in terms of the world, the story, and the characters. The gameplay was also fantastic.
In this day and age, it's maddening that an iteration from 4.13 to 4.15 leaves problems like that. They gotta be making that **** fully backwards compatible so that nothing gets left behind... at least until they jump to UE5.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
@DarthNocturnal Now, I don't really agree that longer, more complex enemy attack patterns are a bad thing. They add a significant degree of challenge to boss battles in particular; Paper Jam probably has the most difficult bosses in the whole series because of this (and high attack power), with Dream Team close behind. By comparison Superstar Saga's are stupidly simple; I'm not exaggerating when I say Cackletta's Soul is the only remotely challenging fight in the original for any veteran, not just due to starting at 1 HP or stats, but having moves that require more than a simple jump or pound to counter.
What made battling a drag in the 3DS entries was the BROS's moves taking forever to perform, not even including the possibility of failing them and dealing next to no damage after a long animation. They couldn't even do a basic jump attack without stopping to celebrate afterwards.
@gcunit Honestly with a change and update to the main programming toolset (Blueprints) like that...id expect that in UE5. But no, 4.15.
Whats sad is at Univeristy we had to learn UE 4.05. I believe. It was well below 4.10 I had at the time. Wont bode well for the future of students.
Still You can use any version of UE4 you want, its just that PS4 doesnt support the newer builds while Switch does, and Square obviously started work in earnest on an older build rather than waiting for Epic to finish on Switch integration and push out 4.15.
The issue just comes down to bad timing for a few games. In future I expect UE4.15 to be compatible with other systems otherwise the upgrade path for PC and Switch will leave them behind.
Switch having access to the ever evolving newest iterations of tech and software seems to be a big boon especially with PC developers like Bethesda and indies and thats really a win by being right up there with the latest stuff.
Which is hilarious to think about because...ya know...Nintendo

I thought this site would have put out an article by now on the UK games sales charts. Here they are.
Individual Formats
All Formats
MK8D continues to chart well. What its numbers are, who knows. The sales for FIFA 18 are down 69% on last week and still holds onto top spot in both charts so that might give some indication of how everything else is faring. The Switch version seen the biggest drop in the charts and given that last week it was 1% of overall sales, then its sales this week must be in the hundreds.
Forza Horizon 3 is next to Motorsport 7 on the charts. Are some people buying both?
Both BotW and MK8D still selling well, which sort of says that those two will probably still be selling well into the future as well.
Sonic Forces and to a lesser extent DOOM, are showing what could become a trend.
What you get in portable mode is what you get in docked mode, regardless of the extra horsepower. Devs may not be willing to bother with the extra power when docked and we just get the portable experience on a TV.

@Spoony_Tech Well DOOM uses a dynamic resolution. So I can assume docked mode is utilised to maintain closer to 720p constantly. In other words they use the extra power.
But Sonic Forces? That seems off. Plus if anyone uses 720p 30fps is bad as a point against the game or the system, ask how they enjoyed Generations.

@DarkRula A Forza Horizon 3 Hot Wheels hardware bundle was released not that long ago. Xbox One S 500GB + Forza Horizon 3 + Hot Wheels Expansion, a very good entry point into the world of XB1.
@Grumblevolcano That'd explain it. It was either that or a similar bundle I saw a while back, but obviously forgot since I already have everything in it.

Exactly my point. Apparently, sales are what we discuss. What we think of games we can play, however, doesn't matter.
Fun site, but where are the gamers? Are they all sales consultants now?
