Riders Republic doesn't seem to be focusing on the winter sports much, so I doubt Ubi would want the Winter Olympics licence for it. Unless they plan on putting a deep focus onto each area with DLC once it's released, but even then they shouldn't need the licence for that.
Maybe I just really hope for a new Mario and Sonic Winter Olympics that's as good as Sochi was to the point I don't want Ubi to get the licence.
Always on the search to wishlist more games within those genres I enjoy most. Action/rpg, music/rhythm, and shmups. Going off Opencritic recommendations it seems as though Dreamscaper, Tadpole Treble Encore, and Jamestown+ might be worthwhile. Worse than Death looks pretty good as well.

A new Marvel tactics RPG from Firaxis, the developer of Civilization and XCOM? And it's coming to Switch?
I keep saying it- Switch is the greatest strategy platform of all time. Next year alone we get Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope, Project Triangle Strategy and this new Marvel Tactics. And a new Fire Emblem is likely around the corner. And that's after Advance Wars Re-Boot Camp this December, and we already have Vallyria Chronicles 1, Valkyria Chronicles 4, Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle, Civilization VI, XCOM 2 and Fire Emblem Three Houses.
The only seriously legit strategy game not on Switch is Gears Tactics. But it has so many exclusive SRPGs just as good if not better, it more than makes up for it.
I probably won't get it on Switch. All my strategy stuff excludiing the exclusives like Fire Emblem are played on PC, but I'm psyched to see the XCOM guys are doing a Marvel game, let alone one of the most underrated Marvel teams of all time

I'm the opposite, I'm far more a Marvel fan than a strategy fan. But I haven't even played the not Xcom Mario + Rabbids I have owned for a year and a half though, so I'm not sure I'd play this one from the actual Xcom guys soon.
also Marvel has been underwhelming in games for years now, even with great devs, so I'm more cautious than I would be.

I'm as much of a Marvel fan as I am anything else like Spiderman, Batman, etc, which is to say, not a diehard super fan, but... I still like it. I grew up loving X-Men (particularly Wolvernine).
But we've had Batman games, we've had Spiderman games. It's nice getting something different, and it's nice getting it in a different genre as well.

You gotta play Mario Rabbids. The game is a masterpiece. Split joycon for best HD rumble effect.
Fire Emblem Awakening made me a strategy fan. But I'm very picky. It's gotta be quality for me to enjoy the genre. Thankfully there's a ton of quality games in the genre, and they're all so different.
Start with Mario Rabbids. Once you play that you'll be ready for a game like X-COM 2 or Midnight Suns. I don't think it'll be an XCOM clone though. Firaxis are the masters of the genre and Civilization is quite different than XCOM. I do expect it to be more similar to XCOM than Civ, but at the same time bring its own flavor.

Fire Emblem Awakening will forever be one of my favorite games I've ever played.
Idk what it was, specifically, that made me love the game so much. I mean, it has a lot of amazing qualities, but something about that game makes it far more than the sum of its parts. It also feels perfectly suited to the hardware it runs on (barring the missing feet, although that's kinda become part of its charm).
2013 for 3DS was quite the year! But I think I like this year even more. 2021 for Switch has been outstanding.

The current roster for Midnight Suns kind of concerns me as is because there's not a lot of characters actually associated with said team at present. Iron Man, Captain America and Captain Marvel literally have nothing to do with said team at all and are likely just there to move units and sell copies
Surprised as hell they haven't shown characters like Punisher, Morbius or Elsa Bloodstone (all three of which were in Ultimate Alliance 3)
And while they're at it with the "marketable characters", where's Spider-Man? He at least has association with both Blade and Morbius in his solo comics so he has more of a reason to be there than Captain Marvel or Captain America. Surprised he wasn't in the reveal trailer unless they're saving him for later for a larger amount of fanfare, or Sony's control over his game appearances is really that serious now that they own Insomniac given he's PlayStation-exclusive for Marvel's Avengers
EDIT: Also Moon Knight? He's clearly about to become a pretty big name because of the Disney+ series and is a major character associated with the team in the comics.
This is what being a comics nerd does to me. Imagine the aneurysm I went through looking at Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite's roster
Just give me some cool characters and a few I know and I'm good. Don't need a dream team of cherry picked characters. Unless the entire game is full of ppl I've never heard of, I'm happy.

There are too many Marvel characters to add in one game. So I'm taking what I can get it. If the dev team adds Juggernaut, Venom, and Punisher by chance, I will be one happy person.
I can't go on this site's article comment sections anymore. My goodness... I keep saying that but then I drop in occasionally and every single time I do it's the same thing.
What is it about video games that makes people feel so much envy and spite toward other platforms that they feel the compulsion to troll.
"SMTV looks like a PS2 game"
"Monster Hunter Rise looks like smeared vaseline, has an unplayable framerate and anyone with standards can see how lazy Capcom was"
"Maybe you only have a Switch, but I have a PC where games are 4k so that's my standard... [yet in same breath] How can you compare to Vita? Games looked good on Vita for the hardware and for its time"
What is it? Are yarn knitting forums like this too? Or auto forums? Or movies? What is it about video games that makes people say such things... is it ego?
My theory is, people get emotionally attached to a particular brand (something I think we can all relate to- we're all fans of certain platforms or developers to some extent), but they let it get to an unhealthy level, to the point they start feeling genuine resentment toward others having fun on rival platforms with games on rival systems. And perhaps there's an element of envy. Like in Count of Monte Cristo, "You were so mad Edmond was happier with his whistle than you were with your pony."
Its sucking the fun out of video games for me. I see it more and more, everywhere I turn nowadays (except this forum, the last safe haven).
