If a remake is also in development planned for next year, I suspect they'll drop the new Fire Emblem later this year. Since it would be weird to have two core FE games in the same year. Much more likely to pair it with the Warriors spin off.

Otherwise, it's so jam packed I wouldn't be surprised if they put it off until next year.

Finally started The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles after putting it off since October. I've played the first 2 chapters of Adventures and here are my current thoughts:

* The graphics and animation are simply superb. You can definitely tell it's a 3DS game at heart but it's still gorgeous despite that, especially Ryunosuke and Herlock's animations in the trial and deduction segments respectively (the way Ryunosuke nervously raises his hand after objecting in the first trial is amazing).

* The characters are so good so far. Susato not being afraid to use force when necessary along with being sweet and inquisitive, Hosonaga being a more sophisticated and serious Gumshoe is great, Herlock being an absolute crackpot and even Ryunosuke having a clear apprehensiveness to the situations he's placed in but carrying on for the sake of his friends is all so damn good so far.

* The puns are still here in full force thankfully, with Iyesa Nosa and Bif Strogenov being just the dumbest things ever and, with AA, I wouldn't have it any other way.

* Lastly, THE MUSIC IS AMAZING WTF AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. Herlock's Theme and Cornered are 2 of my current favourites.

In short, I'm so excited to keep going.

@CactusMan

It's not nearly as scandalous as Nintendo stealing the 3D technology for the 3DS. They had to pay the patent owner a lump sum plus a percentage for every 3DS sold. Which is why Nintendo slowly phased out the 3DS in favor of the 2DS. It's a fine reminder that Nintendo is a corporation like any other, in the end it's all about the money.

I'm looking forward to locking in an order for the Fighting Legends Pack after work today. I refuse to miss out on this one as I did with the Rockman 5-in-1. I must confirm myself if all updates for Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection are on the cartridge or not.

Fired up my copy of Ministry of Broadcast for the first time. A 2D platformer/puzzle game; less stressful than Super Meatboy, less of an emphasis on puzzles than Braid. I dig the pixel art. The writing makes me chuckle in spots. I've only played an hour but I think I'll see this one through to the end. Pretty cool.

Kinda curious to see what happens with the Pokemon Presents. The western Pokemon accounts never said anything about it (though current world events almost assuredly played a part here), so are they just gonna drop the announcements on Twitter with no western version of the presentation?

@IceClimbers God I hope not. I don't want to have to learn Japanese within the next day just to understand what to be excited for.

At least learn Hiragana and Katakana words. Katakana is the easiest to learn as the words is mimicking the foreign pronounce especially English language so you can quickly figure it out from Katakana words if you can read it.

Rhythm gonna hit your head.

@DarthNocturnal Kind of like what they do for the UK Directs, isn't it?

A moment to appreciate this marvelous Portal 2 Companion Collection (Switch) trailer released by Valve.

With Steam Deck having just released, and this being (imo) their two best 1st party game they’ve ever made, I think Valve deserves a salute

And let’s not forget the original teaser trailers for these masterpieces

Portal is a fantastic game, but Portal 2 is really a masterpiece. Makes me sad thinking how amazing HL3 or Episode 3 could've been.. oh well, maybe some day.

Valve is making software again.

With Half Life Alyx, and now this demo software, “Aperture Desk Job” launching for SteamDeck, I think it’s they’re getting back into games. At least, I hope.

It came to mind that 2022 being 2017 part 2 in gaming applies to more than just Switch. For PS so far you have:

  • Horizon Zero Dawn -> Horizon Forbidden West
  • Gran Turismo Sport -> Gran Turismo 7
  • MLB The Show 17 -> MLB The Show 22
  • Uncharted The Lost Legacy -> Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection

Xbox 2022 being Xbox 2017 part 2 also seems to fit currently because there were big droughts while relying on Forza and Halo.
