I didn’t see any speculation along those lines at all. It would also only be a 1-1 remaster if it used Gameboy graphics.
That’s like folks saying StarFox 64 should have been cheaper because it’s a 1-1 remaster of StarFox 😂

Nintendolife "With very few details about the game available at this point in time, other than the year of release and game trailer (see below), most returning fans are likely expecting it to be a relatively straightforward port, with a new lick of paint and some quality of life changes here and there. The game listing on the official Nintendo website though has led to speculation there could be a multiplayer option in the game, as the page says the number of players has not been determined. See for yourself below:

Links Awakening Listing
We know it's still early days, but given the fact the original title was a solo experience, it raises questions as to why the listing doesn't already say this. If we were to wildly speculate ourselves, perhaps there is a chance Nintendo will add in a bonus mode or game similar to Tri Force Heroes or the Four Swords, as this next outing appears to be another classic take on the series." https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/02/number_of_players_f...

I must’ve missed that article, or not remembered it from five months ago. Oh well.

The new Japanese trailer for the new Mario and Sonic revealed that it has a story mode.

Honestly looks like this game is a cut above the previous entries.

@IceClimbers
Yoo...!
The guys being shirtless during swimming.
I do really hope for being shirtless during Boxing.

It's looking the best yet, but I want them to put this much effort into a winter Olympics. My bias dictates that winter sports are better than the regular ones. The dream events look cool, though. And I hope skateboarding has better controls than Go Vacation. If it's meant to be a buttons-only affair, then why have tricks still need to be activated with a flick of a controller?

Hmm, Astal Chain gets a score of 37/40 from Famitsu.

Time to place a preorder I suppose.

With how packed Switch is from August 30th and us getting release date announcements for stuff like Witcher 3 and FFVIII Remastered by other means, if it wasn't for NSO 12 month memberships expiring September 18th I'd be doubting the existence of a September Direct.

@Magician I could have done without that news. Was planning to skip Astral Chain for now, due to money spent already this year and prioritising Witcher 3 and Dragon Quest XIS for the rest of the year, but if it's legit good...

@IceClimbers Was all ready to Day 1 the Tokyo Olympics based on that trailer... until I saw Wario topless - Urrrghhhhuh.

There are way too many games to choose. I have Witcher 3 on PC and feel like double dipping on Switch just because ya know portability. The only issue is that Dragon Quest XIS comes out next month, Pokemon Sword and Shield come out, Link's Awakening is coming out, and I still have to beat BOTW and the semester's starting. I think I might lose it.

Does anyone know if Link's Awakening Dreamer Edition in the US is actually a thing, or is sold out, or what? BB has listed it as "coming soon" for months....

@gcunit
At least we already knew shirtless Mario was look better than shirtless Wario. 😉

Topless Wario was Eww... 🤮
He needs to get some exercise at gym to get rid those fat on his belly.
Or i will draw six pack on him. 🤣

You get an exclusive Smash Ultimate spirit (Tockle) if you play the DQXI S demo and/or the full game.

@Anti-Matter I'm officially commissioning you to draw Wario as one of your 6-pack chibi boxers - don't let me down

Well... I think i will consider that.

@NEStalgia
Sold out. I secured my BestBuy preorder quite a while back. Though it may come back in stock one last time before launch.

@gcunit
Let me know how you like Trials. My coworker just bought it (he bought the cheap knockoff when it was on sale for a buck or whatever, told him to just go for the real thing).

The new 2nd expansion is dropping for Trials in September too... Oh. Ya, pencil that in for September also 😁

@NEStalgia I preordered mine on amazon but im not sure what's up with best buy. @Tsurii might actually try the demo out. Never played a dragon quest game so im intrigued to see what it's all about. Although...i probably shouldn't considering what I'm already buying next month 😂

I believe Gamestop is still accepting online preorders for it.

However, in-store preorders for it at Gamestop closed quite some time ago.

Edit: P.S. - Scratch that, just checked, they also have it listed as out of stock.

I got 2 a preorders for the Dreamer edition , one at Best Buy and one at Amazon just in case.Really cant wait to play this game again with a new coat of paint!

Apparently there's a demo for Dragon Quest XI S. I chose a bad day to leave my Switch at home!
