Metro is a great game. And both of the ones on Switch look good, run well and offer gyro aiming.

Excellent games for the OLED too, with the heavy use of blacks and dark areas.

@JaxonH Yeah Im digging it for sure. I don't have the Oled but it looks pretty snazzy on the big screen 🤣. That said MHR is looking and playing far better than I expected. Gonna sink a bunch of hours into that.

@Giancarlothomaz This is great. That "site" should not exist

For those interested in Rain Code here is a good little interview on Noisy Pixel

@old-dad
I still have plenty of endgame content waiting for me in Sunbreak. They just added Amatsu and Risen Shagaru Magala and have a Malzeno variant as a bonus update in June. The free content just refuses to end.

Definitely interested in Rain Code. Will check that out now

@old-dad

KK: Development started after Danganronpa V3 was released. But for that game, we were creating the game as if it was a novel, but we approached the development of Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE as if it were an anime or movie.

That's an interesting comment. I suppose the takeaway is that Rain Code is going to be more cinematic and less reliant on dialogue to sell the story.

@JaxonH Yes it was all the free content and the look of it drew me in and now have another game that will eat another 100+ hours of my life lol.

@Ralizah I'm very much intrigued but that art style, detective detective type story looks so cool.

Never played Danganronpa but it has a massive following.

@old-dad
Considering I put 50 hours into just the demo for the base game of Monster Hunter Rise, I think you're looking at more at the + end.

@JaxonH that is great news as I am enjoying the world so far. Have plenty to keep me busy till TOTK launches and plan on staying on that for a hot minute.

MHR is one of those games I will have to keep coming back to just to keep the mind fresh. Can't imagine taking a month off from it and coming back.

Just watched the Falcom livestream and I don't think Nintendo has to release another game this year. So many great games coming this summer and fall it's crazy. Well unless they can sneak some more Metroid in

@old-dad
I'm more than set.

I find myself spending less and less time playing games nowadays, what with work and just relaxing when home. And now with movies taken up as a new hobby.

I can't keep up with the Switch games I wanna play. It's too much. Maybe I'm turning into a more casual gamer as I get older, Idk. That may not be the best word for it. Cause when I do binge, I binge hard. But the games that cause me to binge are becoming fewer by the year. Series that I used to always play day one until completion, I'm starting to slack on (still haven't finished all of Sunbreak endgame, still never finished the remaining chapters of Fire Emblem Engage or played much of the Fell Xenologue, still haven't played much of Xenoblade 3 Future Redeemed, still haven't finished Triangle Strategy or Persona 5 Royal or Crisis Core, etc).

What's coming from Falcom, btw? I know we have Trails From Reverie on the way this year, and Ys X at some point.

@JaxonH I understand, pretty much took the whole wii/wiiu generation off while raising family. Played a few games with kids but it just didn't feel the same as it did before. Then I retired and went crazy few years ago then took another break while we finished building our house. But kid's are gone now and its just me,wife and dogs lol.

They showed more of Ys X and another game I believe called Tokyo Xanadu that releases in June. It was in Japanese so other than trailers it was difficult for me to follow along.

This might sound weird from someone who still buys new releases day one and just invested in a new GPU for my rig, but I'm rapidly reaching the point where I just sort of lay off of gaming purchases as well. My library is so huge at this point, and if I don't lay off new releases, I'll never have the opportunity to play them all.

I'll keep buying series new entries in series like Ace Attorney, SMT, Persona, Xenoblade, Zelda, etc. that I truly love, but otherwise, I think slowing down is a good idea.

@old-dad Tokyo Xanadu is coming to Switch?!

googles

Only announced for Japan so far, but it's hard to believe it won't enjoy a localization. It's been out on PS4 and Vita for years in the West, so unless they're adding major story elements, most of the work should already be done on that front.

It's nice to see Falcom porting their back-catalogue to Switch, even some of it remains trapped in Japan (ToCS 1 & 2 come to mind).

@Ralizah I hear ya...hope we see a bunch more as there is a ton of great games still on PSP I would like to see ported. Can't think of a time in gaming when a console saw so many great games.

Well barring what Nintendo shows for the fall think I may be done with new purchase for a bit. Got Totk coming and the other games I have earmarked for purchase
Killer Frequency
Rain Code
Blasphemous 2
Dekapolice
Megaton Musashi
Professor Layton: if it comes out.

Can't really think of anything else I will feel the need to buy so hopefully can work on this back catalog. I am almost thankful Xenoblade never clicked with me because that game is gorgeous !

As a reminder, we're almost at the end of the pre-order period for the Limited Edition XC soundtracks. One is specifically for XC3 and features stuff like replica flutes. The other contains all of the music from all of the mainline games and expansions.

@Ralizah
Forgot I ordered the Xenoblade Trilogy OST. Yet another incoming expense, along with the Zelda TotK Switch OLED that arrived today, with 3 more Fire Emblem 1/7 scale statues preordered (tried to cancel but it was past cutoff date) and the Malzeno MH statue preordered. I can't wait for all this stuff to release and phase out of my budget so I can start saving again. I'm out of room, and have outspent myself. Come September I'll have a $812/mo bill paid off, and with no more big expenses on the way, it's gonna be straight saving mode there on out.

If you want soundtracks use YouTube. if Nintendo copyright strikes a channel 3 more pop up.

@NeonPizza are some of those games even confirmed to come to switch? I know pizza tower isn’t because the dev said in a message it will be a long time before that game shows up on switch. There is no way that prime 2 and 3 show up on switch this year or anytime soon. Remasters of all things! Prime 1 remastered took years to make with lots of other smaller studios helping Retro out. Remasters for both those games, even one of them won’t come for a long time, if ever. If Nintendo wishes to bring one or two of the other prime games to switch sooner than later, it would be in an easier, HD port form. Don’t know about the rest though. Surely all of them aren’t confirmed. This is all just speculation at this point, except the titles that have release dates already like Pikmin and Zelda.

@JaxonH Your game room must be enviable at this point. Maybe you should still tickets.

@WaffleBoat Yeah, I thought about getting these, but I can't even remember the last time I listened to a CD! I guess I could always rip them, though.

@NeonPizza Well fudge I forgot about Sea of Stars ! That is going to be great if the demo is correct.

More Saturn games are always welcome and Dragon Force 1&2 would be epic
