@Giancarlothomaz
I was wondering which region in real world Pokemon developer will pick.
5 = New York
6 = France
7 = Hawaii
8 = UK
9 = ???
I hope they will choose Indonesia as Gen 9 inspiration since Japanese peoples loves to visit Bali.

@Anti-Matter

Supposedly it will be California

@Kirby_EU
Interesting.
Even just a rumour, what interesting or iconic things from California ?
Disneyland ?
California beach ?

@Anti-Matter
California is a massive state: it covers all sorts of biomes as you go north to south. You can ski and then visit Death Valley.

It's the center of our entertainment industry (Hollywood/LA) and tech industry (Silicon Valley). It has some of the most unique cities in the country (San Fran) and best surf beaches. Yosemite, San Diego Zoo, Disneyland, Alcatraz... just tons and tons of world-famous landmarks.

It's incredibly varied and an excellent place to base a Pokemon game. And I'm an East Coast guy admitting these things lol

Canada.

Make a Pokemon game set in Alberta or Toronto you cowards

@TheFrenchiestFry Set one in Quebec so every single sign, item description, menu etc. has to have both English and French, doubling the textfile size of the game and making everything unbearably slow for authenticity.

Playing WarioWare with my brother was a blast. It’s amazing how well the game is suited to 2p. So glad that demo dropped. I’m ready for the full game. Might have to play some WarioWare Gold in the meantime.

Looks like No More Heroes 3 and Baldo is this Friday. Sonic Colors the Friday after, Bloodrayne and WarioWare the Thursday and Friday after that, with Cruis’n Blast, Eastward and Ni No Kuni 2 the following Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Then we have Diablo II and DBZ Kakarot the Thursday and Friday after that, and Darksiders 3 and Monkey Ball the following Thursday and Friday. And Metroid Dread the Friday after that.

That’s a pretty steady diet of quality games on the way. Once Metroid Dread is out, it’s like 3 weeks to Fatal Frame and Mario Party, then a week to Shin Megami Tensei V, then 2 weeks to the Pokémon remakes, then 2 weeks to Advance Wars Re-Boot Camp and Danganronpa Decadence. And, then it’s the Christmas and New Years lull until Pokémon Arceus drops.

Skyward Sword sounds really good with 5.1 surround btw. Turns out, a fair number of Switch games output PCM 5.1 surround. More than I thought. May not be as good as Dolby Atmos, but currently only Xbox offers that for games, if you pay an extra $15 for Dolby access, and it’s incredibly buggy with sound cut outs.

So I hopped on the eshop today to see if there were any interesting sales (Grabbed My Time at Portia for 75% off!)

But what is weird is that I had the eshop crash on me, twice, in less than 10 minutes. Anyone else having any issues lately?

Working fine for me. Just checked again in case. No issues.

I’d reboot the system. Could also be a Wifi connection issue, or if a game is suspended, perhaps that particular game causes connection issues outside of the game. Who knows.

Apparently, the next Super Monkey Ball guest star will be revealed at Gamescom opening night. Now I have to watch it. (Hope it's Amigo.)

Going back to my original strategy of digital deluxe Xbox + physical Switch for Sonic Colours Ultimate because digital deluxe is 4 days early but I also want physical.

@GrailUK the character is just gonna be the taxi from crazy taxi, no ball, just a taxi.

@Slinkoy1 I'm ok with that,. An outrun car or tomcat jet would be ace too.

how likely is the possibilty of Nintendo making a Super Mario Odyssey 2? and check out a gameplay of No More Heroes 3

Just finished the original Shin Megami Tensei.

Now I just need to go back and beat Nocturne HD, and by the time I'm fully done with that, the main attraction, SMT V, will be out.

That'll be on top of Persona 5 Royal and, eventually, Strikers.

Also playing Persona 4 with my nephew on the PS2.

I'm just wallowing in Atlus stuff this year. It's great.

@Ralizah Nothing like playing the quirky rural town murder mystery game where people get hung on telephone wires with the whole family lol

I... apparently can't get enough of Kairosoft games. Last month I'd bought Shiny Ski Resort, and loved managing a ski resort so much I used the second file to give the second map a spin (which the Switch really doesn't like running when you get to late game, I'll say that). Now, I've gone and bought Dream House Days DX, and am doing just fine in managing a housing complex. They're just so easy to pick up and play when you want a bit of business management gameplay.

I'll also say that you should not discount Rush Rally Origins. Such a great top-down racer. I'm enjoying it greatly, along with plays of Rush Rally 3.

Oh my… I can’t believe it.

No More Heroes 3 is actually looking really good! I had all but written it off. I didn’t even preorder the digital version, and I preorder the digital version of practically everything.

Just watched two full gameplay previews, and I’m still in shock. Framerate is no longer broken, resolution is no longer from the Wii-era. It may not win any tech awards, but I dare say this game is in a playable state. And it looks waaaaay more fun than the first two. I’m gonna have to go preorder now.

@Ralizah
The original? Like, the original original?

Gosh dang. You’re more hardcore than I thought.

I found some upcoming Japanese Nintendo Switch games from playasia.

BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! for Nintendo Switch

Fight of Animals: Arena (English)

Megaton Musashi

Model Debut2 #Nicola (My favorite choice 😍)

Power-Pro-Kun Pocket R

Tokimeki Memorial: Girl's Side 4th Heart
Tokimeki game on Nintendo Switch but still NO Dance Dance Revolution for Nintendo Switch ? 😒
Really, Konami ??

@JaxonH Not quite the original version of the original, although I've also played that one. A fan-translation for the SNES version has been floating around the internet for years, but somebody recently back-ported the official English translation from the (now defunct) iOS version of the game (which is the only version to ever officially release in English, as far as I'm aware) into the Japanese GBA release of the game, and it's great. The GBA version updates the dungeon tile sets, overworld visuals, and UI just enough that it doesn't feel positively ancient. The SNES version is a classic, but the presentation is terrible, frankly.

Despite running into a rather annoying bug that locked me out of the best endgame equipment, I somehow managed to stick to my neutral alignment run of the game. Which, I believe, is the ending that leads into Shin Megami Tensei II.

@TheFrenchiestFry lol

I also got him into Apocalypse. He lost interest quickly in Nocturne and IV, but the colorful cast and multiple difficulty options of IV:A probably felt like a more natural transition point from Persona 5 Royal.

While Persona 4 does a better job of balancing the gameplay and talky bits than Persona 5 does overall, that opening stretch of the game is brutal, though.
