Yeah, Fire Emblem looks awesome. Kind of shame that it got delayed, but it'll be worth it and at least we get VC4 in the meantime.

Yeah it's a shame. But at least it's only til spring, and we do have the excellent Valkyria Chronicles 4 in the meantime.

Btw, anyone enjoying Hollow Knight? I funded it back on Kickstarter. Never knew it would end up being a switch exclusive that can rival Ori and the Blind Forest. Well, Ori might be a little bit better, but still. Ori is one of the best games I've ever played, so...

Hey all - was away for the weekend. Assume we're all complaining about the E3 showing? (being serious)

Watched the E3 video as soon as I got home (didn't spoil with any articles beforehand), and yea...first half AWESOME, second half... Smash Brothers lol Got a little long for my taste. Knew that is one of their biggest games coming up, but dang... that was way too long.

The list of games coming out is spectacular and I'm not going to be able to buy everything, but geez... would've enjoyed a few more minutes on Fire Emblem or even Mario Party to take away a few from Smash.

@JaxonH Hollow Knight is fantaaaaaaaaaaastic. I 100%ed the original game on Steam, and I immediately went back to double-dip for Switch. It's so good, $15 is a STEAL for what you get.

Absolute 100% recommendation if you even slightly like Metroidvanias.

Ya, that Daemon X Machina game looks rad. I thought it was a new Xenoblade spinoff mech game at first. Whatever it is though it's definitely got my attention. Love games like that. Crazy and different. Stuff you just don't see in the industry anymore.

Had some good stuff, but I think the leak diminished the impact. Fortnite out of nowhere would have been huge. As would Dragonball Fighter Z. Hollow Knight surprise dropping was awesome though. And Smash looks insane. Just... so much content.

Idk. It is what it is. At first I wasn't really that impressed. But after letting everything sink in I started feeling really good about the direct today. Just cause I got to digest how great Daemon X Machina looked, and Fire Emblem, and Smash, and the Hollow Knight/Fortnite surprise launch, DB Fighter Z, Pokémon looks legit...

There is a lot of great games coming. After Mario Tennis Aces and Captain Toad though, it'll be an onslaught of third party games up until Pokémon, I guess. Which is good we have so many games coming because Nintendo is leaving a little bit of a gap in between there.

I still think Pikmin 4 should have been announced though. What a bummer. And Retro's Star Fox racer... i'm thinking it's going to be a 2019 game- it leaked but it was never mentioned that it would be releasing this year. Starlink Starfox crossover is likely priming the audience. I keep saying "Well, Pikmin 4 will probably be next year" but this is the last time I'm saying it. If it doesn't come next year I'm going to need to have a little talk with Miamoto.

@EvilLucario
Playing it now. It really is excellent. Reminds me of Ori in so many ways.

Fire Emblem looks absolutely gorgeous, but then, I love stylized video game art, whereas I find something objectively super-impressive like TLOU Part II to be not particularly pleasant to look at, so I feel like I'm just not going to see eye-to-eye with the people who aren't thrilled with the upgrade in Fire Emblem's presentation. It's slick as heck.

Oh, I downloaded Hollow Knight but have yet to try it. I spent my bit of gaming time tonight playing the Shining Resonance Refrain demo. The game looks great in both modes, and I'm enjoying the combat, although I do hope it gets a bit more difficult later on. I tore through all of the enemies in this demo on standard difficulty like they were nothing.

@KirbyTheVampire So, for me, personally, I'm into gaming because I have fun with it. What I don't have fun with is people complaining and crying about what ISN'T coming to a particular system. There's absolutely nothing wrong with putting someone whose constant negativity bums you out on ignore. You're not silencing or censoring them, and they're free to continue doing what they do.

Thankfully, almost nobody on this forum is like that. I put two or three people who only commented on NL articles on ignore, and it improved my experience with this website 100%.

@Knuckles-Fajita
Thankfully, leaks can only kill the knee-jerk reaction excitement, which subsides in a matter of hours anyways.

@Ralizah
I've heard the game is actually really difficult. I was tempted to play the demo on casual but I decided not to because I figured this was a good chance to try the game on it's normal difficulty, and if it was too hard it could always be changed in the main game. I can't say for sure because, obviously I haven't play the full game, but I would recommend watching a review of the Japanese version that released because, at least from the one I watched, they were saying the game got pretty insane.

Would hate for you to waltz into that normal difficulty thinking you had everything under control, only to meet your untimely demise three chapters in 😂

Hollow Knight looks SOO BEAUTIFUL on the screen. It's such a fantastic game, I can sing its praises for days on end!

Man, say what you will about not showing much 2018, but I walked away extremely satisfied from this E3. Smash Ultimate looks absolutely amazing.

@JaxonH Bahaha, I'm an Atlus fanatic, I eat difficult JRPG's for breakfast!

But thanks for that reassurance. That was my one real lingering concern about the game.

Too many games, too little time.

@TheLobster
Btw, i just curious about Smash Bros.
Can i just play with certain characters Only ?
I mean, playing with NON Rated 18+ characters game, because Smash Bros Ultimate has two characters from that forbidden games and i don't want to use or facing with them Completely.

@TheLobster I hate when games I'm 100% going to download have fantastic cover art. I just... can't justify getting this as a cartridge. If I get it, I'll be dipping in and out of it, here and there, for years to come.

@Ralizah You can download it, and then buy an empty box off of eBay later? That way you'll have the best of both worlds!

@Anti-Matter Sorry, there is no way to turn off M-rated characters.

@Ralizah That's fair. Some people do tend to be on the side of complaining rather than constructive criticism. Not that some complaining is a big deal, but too much of it does get irritating.

@shadow-wolf You can always download fire emblem heroes on mobile as an stepping stone before plunging into a full entry.

@rallydefault I was a bit underwhelmed afterwards. The smash segment dragged on far to much, the first half got drowned. Rewatched the first segment and it is alright, not amazing. Definitely a slump year. A bit worrisome that we didn't get bigger titles from other devs.
