Ni No Kuni launching the same day as Link's Awakening and a week before Dragon Quest XI S is insane lol

@NintendoByNature

Septembers my birthday month as well. Will be demanding eshop cards this year, no exceptions. LOL
Soooo many games in that one month alone.

@GeeEmm I hear you. I think I might have to do both eshop and best buy gc or something. Most of the games coming i want physically.

My only super tiny complaint is Link is $60. But ya know what. I like the style, the music was bangin, and it’s worth it to me. May have to grab one of those vouchers before that ends, save some bones that way.

Oh my goodness. They really did address feedback in Daemon X Machina!

My complaints were gunfire feedback and lack of motion. The boundary issue was a common complaint though not one I personally encountered.

Motion controls? Sold. The fact they listened to all the feedback which really, I think is going to make this an exceptionally good game, makes me feel compelled to support them, especially considering it’s going up against so many big-name games. That’s not the only reason. Obviously I think the game looks amazing and I want to play it. But I also want to support them and I want the game to do well

Oh my goodness, I just watched some of the treehouse footage for Astral Chain. I avoided cutscenes and other spoilery-looking bits, but I wanted to get a sense for what the game played like, as I'm not a huge fan of super-linear, setpiecey action games like Bayonetta or Uncharted. Thankfully, this one seems to have a decent amount of gameplay variety to it, and it's not just funneling you from one battle to the next. The action does look fun, though. I absolutely love the graphic style of the game... it looks like a comic book in motion. You apparently get some freedom to explore your environments and find stuff. It's not quite an RPG like NieR: Automata, but it's also much more satisfying looking than the typical Platinum experience.

I was convinced already, but this sells me even more. This will be a must-have game on the Switch.

Ok, one more chance to get a slime controller for dragonquest (pleasdontselloutpleasedontsellout)!

So I know you guys love Dragon Quest, how many of you are going to get this Slime Controller? IT JUST LOOKS SO CUTE AND I DON'T EVEN PLAY DQ!

@darkfenrir If I had a ton of expendable income, I'd probably get it just for the novelty of having it. Unfortunately, the thing looks horrendously uncomfortable to actually use, so I'll probably pass on it and just nab the game instead.

@ReaderRagfish yep every time I wanted to get one I was either a broke college student or they sold out. As soon the Pre-order is live I am jumping in. I had to have 3 friends talk me out of the metal slime ps4. (I still want it)

Preorders are up for some of the new amiibo. Including Link.

@ReaderRagfish it might get worse for me. Limited edition switch as well. Sigh. Yep I’m going to finish applying for part time work now.

See I am afraid since this is coming out then there will also be a Zelda Edition for the new game. I am so torn!!!!

He also said we would get a game that would be "like Mario on PS4". And that we would get the metroid prime triology. Wasn't he the one that also said "we will get a revived franchise long thought dead"? Take anything with a grain of salt.

Fully expect the mini version to be announced soon. They said it wouldn’t be at e3 but nothing’s stopping them from announcing a few weeks after e3. It’ll definitely be out before Pokémon however

@-Green- 3DS XL was announced in a direct a couple weeks after E3 2012.

@Therad
He did say something "like Mario on PS" which I take to mean Banjo in Smash. We assumed it was a game, but that's probably what he was referring to. Although it could mean more than that and they just haven't revealed it yet. After all, Cuphead and Luckys Tale both announced for Switch, with more rumored to come. But for now, I'd write that one off as fulfilled.

And yes he said Metroid Prime Trilogy is coming, as did Emily Rogers, the GameInformer editor in chief and practically every other credible leaker in the industry. Which tells me its coming. When? Who knows. Probably got pushed back with Prime 4. Could be years before we see it now. But best believe if Zell says its coming, it's coming.

And Zell had nothing to do with the revived franchise leak. That was Imran, the GameInformer editor in chief.

@JaxonH Vague statement that could be interpreted in a way to never be incorrect? Best believe Zell! 😜

Mario on PlayStation equals Banjo in Smash... what?

I can make predictions like that as well.

People pretzel themselves over what is essentially gossip. Just wait for a business announcement rather than a broken clock or a person willing to break NDA and tell a broken clock. Just my opinion of course.
