@JaxonH LA's art style appealed to me from the beginning too (as does DP Switch's). The only that kinda bothered me was the 8 direction movement, which made the world feel a bit limited somehow. Of course after some getting used to, it didn't really bother me too much.

@JaxonH Combined with the Rabbids twitter "error" maybe hinting at a Mario + Rabbids 2 and Monolith Soft having worked on a medieval ARPG since 2018 there's a fairly good chance that 2022's Switch lineup is the much anticipated 2017 Switch lineup sequel that people have been waiting for.

2021 being all about 3rd party support and 1st party ports/remasters/remakes and then 2022 goes in very strong with new 1st party games.

Ya the directional movement was an adjustment. But what threw me off was the sudden frame drops from 60 to 30. I'm pretty tolerant of framerate (though, admittedly less so than I used to be) but it stuttered hard when it would dip from 60 to 30 and back to 60. They imitated the Gameboy release a little too well lol.

I think we're seeing such a robust 2022 lineup because of a lot of stuff that got pushed back. Not a doubt in my mind the Pokemon remake would've been released Spring or Summer.

@rallydefault Yeah, Pokemon Legends Arceus feels more like a holiday title than the remakes and it's now coming early 2022.

@Grumblevolcano
Yea, and that rumor that Splatoon 3 was really meant for a Summer/Fall 2021 title. It just all fits a picture where everything had to be pushed back by about 6 months.

@JaxonH Game Boy screens actually do run at 60fps, so they stayed pretty faithful to the original in that respect.

I don't doubt everything was pushed back. But under that same line of reasoning, a potential revision was likely pushed back with them.

At least according to the insiders, the revision was planned for late 2021 (and according to them may still release this year). But judging by the lineup, I'd wager they're waiting for 2022 for round 2.

I think the changes were probably something like (original release -> delayed release):

  • Pikmin 3 Deluxe - April/May 2020 -> October 2020
  • 3D World + Bowser's Fury - October/November 2020 -> February 2021
  • Skyward Sword HD - March 2021 -> July 2021
  • Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl - August 2021 -> November 2021
  • Wind Waker HD/Twilight Princess HD (if it exists) - July 2021 -> November 2021
  • BotW 2, Pokemon Legends Arceus and new Switch revision - November 2021 -> March 2022
  • Splatoon 3 - September/October 2021 (if the rumours are true) -> April/May 2022

That sounds about right, but I bet other factors come into play too, especially for games coming out this year and beyond. It's probably easier for certain games to get delayed if other major games are coming out around the same time, so there's no need to rush them out anyway. In particular I could easily imagine Splatoon 3, with the series' reliance on post-release updates, staying to that release date if Nintendo didn't have much else coming out around that time.

I mean, this year Nintendo I believe is publishing one game per month through August so far (except for 0 in Jan, 2 in Feb), and that's obviously not a coincidence.

Guys, i got this news from siliconera about Re:Legend !

Re:Legend will Finally Launch in 2021
Re:Legend, an RPG and life-sim that was once a Square Enix Collective member and found funding on Kickstarter, finally has a release window. It will show up on consoles and computers in Spring 2021. This means it will appear about two years after its Early Access debut on Steam.

Re:Legend offers an experience people might see as similar to Rune Factory. You live a life on a farm, tending crops. You’ll get to know people around you and form relationships with them. You’re an amnesiac, with part of the plot involving trying to figure out what happened. But, this is also a Pokemon-like. As you play, you’ll see Magnus monsters around and use them to get around the island, fight other enemies, and manage your farm.

Here’s a very quick peek at the Re:Legend Switch version, to help provide a better idea of what to expect from the RPG.

Re:Legend will come to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in Spring 2021. The Early Access Steam release is available now.

@Ryu_Niiyama
@Anti-Matter knows the score 😉 Ya, it’s the English Asian physical version. PlayAsia has it. And it actually gave me gold coins for once! A whopping 70 of them. Usually games only offer 60, at the most.

Anti-Matter, that game actually looks really good. Re-Legend. I’ll keep an eye out for that.

@Blooper987 I got Limbo on heavy discount yesterday. I've beaten it on PC before but it's such a terrifying, difficult platformer that can really keep you guessing. Playing it in a dark room at night, on a large screen, is the worst way to play it. Or the best

@JaxonH Darn, pass then. Romance has two sets of season passes so I don’t want to deal with making an HK account, just to play the all of dlc (which is usually region locked). Sigh, I better cull the backlog...

Thank you!

@Ryu_Niiyama
So, it comes with one season pass on the cart. But ya, there is a 2nd.

Thankfully if you buy it on the NA store you don't have to deal with any other account. When I hit the downloadable content link in the main menu it takes me to the NA eShop where I've purchased the season pass. I can tell it's NA because of my Metroid Icon in top right.

@JaxonH Hmm, something to think about. I’ve mostly bought HK games for JPN games that have more text/small font than I want to deal with as I still translate/read slowly. So I don’t have many of them (just the robot taisen games actually).

With those I have been locked on DLC so far. So good to know games that released in NA don’t have this issue. I may also play around with my JPN DLC as well to see if that applies.

I thought I was the only one that couldn’t sleep tonight. Getting more replies from folks now than during the day.
