@NeonPizza yes!!! I have 2 handhelds and their my main consoles. I'd really like to see a new console use AR in a ''good'' way. That could be very cool!
and yea the 3DS was mindblowing (I got a "new" 2DS XL, 2 years ago it's awesome)
I'm also supporting Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope day one. The fact they also brought on the Ori soundtrack composer alongside Grant Kirkhoppe is insane. Game looks gorgeous, too.
Yet another Switch exclusive masterpiece.
@NeonPizza
I loved the 3D effect of 3DS, and was a diehard fan of it to the very last.
However. Most were not. Nintendo has the data on it. There's a reason the later 3DS releases started doing 2D only. And the 2DS and 2DS XL reflected that. So unfortunately it's just not going to happen. The demand isn't there, and 3D gaming has been relegated to the gimmick bucket.

@JaxonH not just the Ori composer but the legendary Yoko Shimomura, Mario+Rabbids Sparks of Hope soundtrack is gonna be phenomenal, if Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle music was amazing with just Grant Kirkhope, imagine what they can do with the composer of Ori and Yoko Shimomura composing the music now, god level music in this game.

This was actually being tested for VR, along with sensations of hot and cold.
Cool party trick, but nothing of value to the gaming experience imo.

So, in October, Switch is getting ports of two PS4 games with famously amazing soundtracks, AND an exclusive that a bunch of frankly stellar composers are working on. Be sure to enjoy these games with headphones or proper sound systems.

At least 3D lives on in VR where it's 100x more effective, since you're like...there, instead of looking through a window if Current TV's were in fact 3D. A great white shark in VR(Think PS VR2) coming straight towards you will be one zillion times more frightening than seeing that happen on a 65" 3D TV. But still, i want QD-OLED to adopt a new 3D technology that uses similar tech that the 3DS does without the need for glasses while giving you an ultra wide sweet spot with zero comprises being made to the picture quality. But alas, wont be happening for a while. Because people are crazy.
Hurrr, bring on that 8K resolution so we can see every single stupid little pore on some actors face, HDR(which has zero quality standards) and lets ruin that cinematic motion with the sope opera effect which makes it feel like you're there on set watching actors do things in front of the camera. lol Not only that, but all of these weirdo's keep obsessing over more TV brightness/nits. OLED's can already get bright enough for SDR to the point where it will make your eye balls sizzle. This is the mind set that a lot of younger millenials and Gen Z's have adopted.
I 100% agree with you! I'm so glad I'm nothing like my generation (I watched VHS tapes before they were hip! In the early 2000's)
So Star Ocean The Divine Force got an October release date, so this is the updated Square Enix list for 2nd half of 2022:
Live a Live - July 22nd
Front Mission 1st remake - Summer 2022
Nier Automata (Switch version) - October 6th
Forspoken (not Switch) - October 11th
Star Ocean The Divine Force (not Switch) - October 27th
Harvestella - November 4th
Dragon Quest Treasures - December 9th
Crisis Core - Winter 2022
The DioField Chronicle - 2022
Valkyrie Elysium (not Switch) - 2022
Square Enix's decisions recently makes me think The DioField Chronicle will release very close to Sparks of Hope. According to this article there's more info on the game coming on Saturday:
Yeah, it's hard to say how much the Nintendo fan base "hated" the 3D effect. It is true that the 2DS & New 2DS cut it, but one was the budget kiddie model (with the 3D was advertised for "seven & up" due to potential safety reasons), and the other was an end of life budget model. On the other side of the coin you had the New 3DS which actually improved the effect (this was the "pro" model designed to appeal to their core base).
It's true that some of the later releases cut the 3D effect as well, but I'm not sure if that's because the player base didn't want it, or if it was a case of the games largely being developed with the New 3DS' in mind, and that they might not run on og models with 3D enabled (and thus completely cut the feature to retain some parity in terms of experience).
Obviously the Switch doesn't have the feature, but I'd imagine they'd have wanted some sort of parity between the handheld & docked experiences, and with 3D TVs flopping (due to lack of interest from the general audience) it's a feature they couldn't count on being available in both modes (they still experimented in a manner of speaking with LABO VR).
Then again I'm a big 3D apologist who'se kinda on a 3D high with all the trips to the cinema I've taken this summer (I've seen Multiverse of Madness, Jurassic World Dominion, & Lightyear in 3D, and will hopefully be able to see Thor: Love & Thunder in 3D as well).

The New 3DS is the one I use. I had all the versions- OG, OG XL, New XL, New... and New is the best imo. Larger screen than OG, but still small enough for games to look good. Much smaller than XL and easier to carry around. Just gotta be sure to use tempered glass on the top screen to avoid scratches from the raised bezel of the bottom screen.
It was released in the US. I got a spare in a Black Friday sale for $99.

BTW the New 3DS eye tracking worked wonderfully for me. It literally solved the issue with the 3D flickering

Combat in Live A Live is different for each of the 8 time era routes.
Feudal Japan is turn based with an action time battle bar. Whereas the China path is more real time combat, from what I've heard at least. It changes for each path.

An analysis of Portal 2 on Switch, with a 10/10 review, only the 3rd game of their 450 reviews to receive a perfect score.

Maybe they were referring to unique gameplay such as the Shinobi turning invisible

@NeonPizza@JaxonH I had to turn the eye-tracking on my New 3DS off as well, because glasses play havoc with it. This sounds stupid, but years back, when I got a new pair of glasses, I even had them apply an anti-glare coating to see if that'd help, and it really didn't.
Stereoscopic 3D is still a wonderfully-implemented gimmick, but I can only use it like I was back in 2011.

You simply must do so. Never in my life have I met a single person who played the games who doesn't think they're amazing. Most cite them as some of the greatest video games ever made. And they're games anyone can enjoy. If you like Zelda or Metroid puzzles, you'll adore them.
And the humor and story... absolutely top notch
