@Ralizah My friend loves that game. So it's probably good, but Idk the specifics.

@mariokartboi11 Sorry, I meant the post above yours, haha. I dunno much about that game, though. Did you check out some vids?

@JackEatsSparrows Oh lol, yeah i did, there are mixed reviews about it

Dude... Dragon's Dogma coming to Switch?!!!

This was my NUMBER ONE wanted Capcom game barring MH World/new MH entry. It basically is Monster Hunter but as a fantastical, story driven RPG. I never thought I'd see the day. I swear this is one of my absolute favorites! It was the very first game I put on my Win 2, and the one I showed off to everyone at work.

I mean... good night. We're getting an HD hybrid portable version of Dragon's Dogma. This is unbelievable!!!

It's in my PS3 library (unplayed, like 95% of my PS3 games) so they'll have to go some to get me early, but it's a well reputed game, so I welcome it.

Fairy Fencer F is going to the switch too.

@Ralizah I personally consider Dragon's Dogma to be a Dark Souls Lite kinda game (well Lite if you ignore the Berserk nod they make with the armor sets) but the story was fairly interesting and did a good job taking a single player game and giving it pseudo MMO aspects. Your pawns could be hired from friends (I essentially got to cheat because a coworker got the game day one and had an OP pawn and since we were friends I got free access to it with no level restriction. Helped a lot in the beginning when you are still afraid of night fall in that game) and there was also a pseudo world state mechanic for hunting down the ur dragon which netted higher rewards if you were online when you killed it.

What kept me engaged was the story. They don't lay all of it out and it may take a playthrough or two to get all the hints but it was a very interesting idea behind how the world works and is sustained.

@mariokartboi11 It's really. Really. Bad. If that helps. I've played it and it was a really hard game to enjoy at all.

@Ryu_Niiyama Well Dark Souls has some Berserk influences too, from what I hear. Artorias is commonly described as referencing Guts at times. And in general Dark Souls can have quite a small bit of anime-inspired attack patterns with its bosses, despite its Western inspiration.

I heard very good things about Dragon's Dogma myself though. Not sure if I'd get it on Switch or PC though. Depends on what's in the Switch version I guess.

Yes, Dragons Dogma is like a Monster Hunter Dark Souls hybrid...

And it is challenging, but I didnt find it quite as hard as DS, at least not from what I've played.

But it's got alot of similarity with MH. Monster tails can be severed, weak spots targeted, etc.

@Ryu_Niiyama Sounds interesting. Thanks for the overview!

Hopefully it's a bit more user-friendly than Souls games. I feel like I'm constantly getting lost in those games with no map to reference.

@JaxonH I think the first few hours can be a challenge but it definitely eases up once you have a handle on the basic mechanics. Also one of the better stories I played on the 360. This might just be me but the character creator in this game was really good. I know a strange thing to pick up on but at the time I remember being very impressed.

Yoshi's Crafted World comes out March 29, 2019 on Nintendo Switch.

We're getting enough info that there may not a Direct in January. Kirby 3DS release date, Yoshi release date, January NES games so far.

Apparently, there’s a Japan exclusive game, so there’s only two games coming to NES Online. Not sure why they didn’t use this as an opportunity to release a Western only game I.e StarTropics.

Ok so it seems like Nintendo basically just had a Direct without a Direct. Dragon's Dogma, NES games, Yoshi release date + trailer, Kirby's extra epic yarn, etc.

Unless they're getting all this information out of the way before a groundbreaking Direct with bombshell news, we might not be getting any sort of direct this month to begin with. A bit disappointing, to say the least.

Joy Mech Fight is the Japanese exclusive game. It’s the game that stars Sukapon (who was an assist trophy in Ultimate)

Well since we may not get a direct. Looks like im grabbing metroid prime trilogy, ww hd , twilight princess hd and some snes games on Wii u. I was holding out but it may not be worth it.
