If the Pro is real and launches with Dread, Nintendo will definitely will be good through the holiday. They'll probably have a tough time keeping everything stocked, to be honest.

Yea, it seems they are going to rely on Pokemon to do the heavy lifting. Mario Party will do huge numbers, too, and that's right at the end of October so pretty close to the official start of the holiday season (these days it feels like it starts after Halloween lol).

I guess I'm just used to seeing a huge blockbuster in that November slot; that blockbuster being a remake must be what's throwing me off. It'll still sell like crazy.

I wonder which will be next to get a port or a remaster?

They could bring the other 2 3D remakes to Switch for a start, @Magician .... Then, there's Dawn of Mana & the spin-offs, I suppose?

Among all the crazy stuff happening for Switch over the next 6 months, don't forget that MH Rise has an update on Thursday and the MH Stories 2 demo goes live on Friday,

Cant forget about Monster Hunter Stories 2!

I’ve just put in 450 hours into MH Rise already, and there’s so much else going on that looks exciting.

I’m FOR SURE diving into Monster Hunter Stories 2 demo and transferring to the full game though. But MH Rise, aside from checking in on the weekly content drop updates, I’ve done all there is to do until the inevitable Ultimate Edition expansion drops. My focus is now on Stories 2.

And I hope everyone checks out the Monster Hunter Stories 2 demo. No reason not to. It’s an incredibly high-quality game with a free demo at zero risk to you, the gamer, and if you like it you can transfer to the full game. Win win.

@JaxonH The only risk is making you want to buy it.

Haven't played Rise since the 2.0 update, lol. I'll get to it either way, but is the end of story stuff sufficiently exciting that I should prioritize it?

@JaxonH That in-store preorder news will make a certain friend of mine happy, I think.

@Ralizah
I’d say ya.

The 2.0 update gave us Bazelgeuse, Chameleos, Kushala Daora and Teostra, tons of additional quests above and beyond those related to those monsters, and then 3.0 gave us Valstrax (HR100 required to unlock), All-Mother Narwa which is a killer fight, Apex Zinogre (and for normal quests right away also), and Apex Diablos and Apex Rathalos in normal quests, plus tons of extra quests.

They also added layered weapons for Rampage weapons which means you can make sets with any weapon look you want, since all the rampage weapon final upgrades are good enough to use as endgame using Sharpness III rampage skill, which gives a ton of blue sharpness. The white isn’t worth it as the segment is too small and handicraft can’t add anything since it’s maxed out.

And if you do all the HR7 quests including the Advanced Quests you unlock as you progress, you eventually unlock Proof of Power, which pits you against a Diablos, Rathalos and Magnamalo in a new arena style map area, and if you beat that you unlock the final quest, also fought in the new area against 3 Apex Monsters.

All combined it’s a massive chunk of content. Probably 50 hours worth if going up to HR100 to unlock everything (though I got more like 125 hrs from the 2.0 and 3.0 updates).

@rallydefault Almost certainly. Don't forget, the 2020 December game was Fitness Boxing 2, (and the original was 2018 December in Japan). The only times we've had major December titles were XC2 and Smash, both of which were in the first week of the month, and rumored to have been delayed slightly from their intended release dates. (XC2 due to BotW and Smash just being Smash). Oh, and Brain Training was also a December title in Japan as well. Since it's after most of the holiday buying rush, it's not a time they typically aim to release major titles in.

Man. I’m sure this has been covered in articles, but this is too good to risk anyone not knowing about it.

1 TB micro SD $132

Pikmin 3 Deluxe $29.99

That’s highway robbery.

@JaxonH ugh. I had to jump on that sd card. I’m tired of all the little x marks on my downloads. If pikmin is still that cheap tomorrow I will price match at best buy. Thank you! My poor budget.

Edit: missed out on pikmin but that is ok.

@JaxonH Gah, I had no idea... but really shouldn't be spending right now. Still, if it's this low now, it should hit this or lower around Cyber Monday, which should be better timing. Not like I really need this between now and then.

@Ryu_Niiyama
The struggle is real. Even at 1 TB half my games are archived. I've implemented a rather strict "one game per franchise" rule (aside from 1st party, Monster Hunter and RPGs, such as both Xenoblades, Final Fantasy X/X-2 and XII, and both Ni No Kuni titles). Only one Sniper Elite, archive the rest. Only one Assassins Creed. Only one Saint's Row. Only one Borderlands. One Bioshock, one South Park, one Metro, one Resident Evil, one Doom, etc.

Even then, it's a full house. It's very frustrating that they still haven't announced 2 TB micro SD cards yet. We need it. Especially if Switch Pro releases? Ya, we NEED that 2 TB.

@JaxonH telling me. I’d deleted all my Japanese games off to make room and all demos as well(I tend to buy games quick so that isn’t as bad but still, for instance I have already deleted the samurai musou 5 demo now that I know I will buy the game. ) And I am still around 50 percent physical.

2TB can’t get here fast enough.

Edit: I am not built to type on a phone.
