@MisterPi
Thanks for that link. Another little reason that's pushing me closer and closer to getting rid of my Amazon Prime (another big reason is the huge price increase coming this year). At least here in the U.S., Amazon is taking over everything and it's getting a little uncomfortable. One person won't make a difference, but I don't really want to be a part of it anymore.

(Other U.S. people - interesting articles out there about Amazon's rise and their tax exemptions and such that allowed them to become so massive.)

Oh hey, more JRPG coming to Switch!

Looks interesting, I think I might want to grab this...

@MisterPi Annd I'm canceling before the price hike. Thank you for the link.

RPG Maker MV and The Princess Guide were also announced.

@darkfenrir Nice! I've been eyeing that game. Guess I'll be adding it to the list.

@Spoony_Tech Weren't you waiting for Yooka-Laylee to go on sale?

It's down to $30 on the eshop.

Ys VIII is really fun but..."Let's finished the rest of our tasks?"

Also, visually.....er….the game randomly stutters and speeds up or looks like a blown up Vita game.

Which...well it is.

Okami HD preload is live. Only about 9GB. Much smaller than I was expecting honestly. Was expecting like 20GB.

Already prepurchased and preloaded Okami HD. <3

Also very tempted to nab Yooka-Laylee now that it's on sale.

Definitely spending more than I was planning to, but whatever.

I always wanted to give Okami a shot. It seems that the time is now.

Caligula Effect Overdose!

This is basically Persona, people. This game got extremely good reviews in Japan- it really, truly is basically Persona. NIS takin care of business. This is actually not a sequel to Caligula Effect, but a remake which I believe added some content and fixed some complaints, etc.

@Knuckles-Fajita
YS VIII looks way better on Switch than the Vita version did. I suggest you go buy a Vita and see what these games actually look like that you compare them to.

And it's not the Vita version, it's the PS4 version, which... you would realize if you saw the game on Vita. Also, Okami HD for what, £16 on the eShop? Celebrate for once, since this is one of the things you said would probably be like $40 digitally.

Skullgirls second encore has been announced for switch.

I really do think you need to go back and look at the vita version again.

@JaxonH Wait, is that coming to the Switch in the west? Cause if so, you've already got me very interested.

Yeah confirmed for western release. No doubt it will sell most on switch by a landslide

@link3710
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.
