@Tank207 Exactly. I haven’t gotten far in the demo but it looks like you have to recruit everyone before moving onto anyone’s second chapter. So hopefully after that’s done, they’ll interact. Otherwise the only reason to have them on your team is for combat.
@thesilverbrick I mean it’s not been a bad year for Switch owners who haven’t owned a Wii U but for those who have, it’s not been great. February we had Bayonetta (a port) March we had Kirby April we had Labo (which is hardly a game) May we had DKTF and HRWDE (ports) June we have Sushi Strikers (a 3ds port) and Mario tennis. July we have Captain today (port) and octopacth traveler. An exclusive not made by Nintendo. August we have Monster Hunter, a 3ds port not made by Nintendo. Finally Mario party for October, an enhanced Pokémon Go for November and smash for December. Thankfully 3rd party support is better than Wii U’s
@thesilverbrick Wow that’s actually really sad. So really Nintendo only has about four published titles this year. Not including DLC and ports of course
Wow I’m so happy for this game! It deserves so much more attention! I’ll pick it up with my Best Buy gamers club, and after I sell the Wii U version because the $60 is a little steep for people who got it at $20
Relatively small debut for HWLD. Probably because both versions have already sold well over 1 million, and there’s already plenty of warrior games on the Switch.
This seems to be better than legend of legacy but I’m still debating over this or Bravely Default. Bravely Defaults last chapters look so boring though.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE As much as I’d love that, I have a feeling this is probably true so this game doesn’t get dominated by big holiday realeses. (Because October is a holiday month now thanks to Odyssey)
@Mart1ndo I honestly can’t tell if you’re joking... while I agree with you that it shouldn’t have been included as a nominee because it was released three years ago, it’s still very much a racing game, not a “Cartoon racer” whatever that is.
Unfortunate debut for Bayonetta. At least the UK had a decent one. I’m curios as to how well it performed in the U.S. Both games have currently been in the top 3-10 eshop charts all week
I don’t want to be one of those people who always wants a new direct, but besides Kirby, there isn’t too many heavy hitters who could continue this evergreen success like SMO MK8D & BOTW. Even then i don’t know if Kirby will be THAT successful
That’s great for the 3ds but I hope it doesn’t encourage Nintendo to continue making games for it. Don’t get me wrong I love it but it’s hard to go back to it when you have a Switch.

Re: Octopath Traveler Smashes Its Way To Number One In Japan By A Huge Margin
It deserves to be #1. Honestly it’ll probably do Bravely default numbers which is amazing for its genre.

I really hope the main casts interacts with one another through each of their chapters
Re: Nintendo Announces The Second Nintendo Labo Creators Contest
They should make more games compatible with labo.
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st June (North America)
@Mrtoad I suppose we should change the name published to developed.

@Krull Oh I see! My apologies 😂
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st June (North America)
@Krull Whoa someone got offended 😂 it’s not like 5 is THAT much greater than 4. Whatever makes you sleep at night I suppose.

Re: Nintendo Says Switch Success Is Due To Clear Marketing, As Opposed To Wii U's Failure
@Grumblevolcano Monster Hunter is releasing in August. I know it’s not a first party title but it’s still a big one. (Kinda)

Re: Nintendo Download: 29th March (Europe)
Alliance alive should hold me over for a little while before Octopath Traveler. If I can find the time to play it.
Re: Detective Pikachu Has A Much Better Launch In Japan While Kirby Remains On Top
Relatively small debut for HWLD. Probably because both versions have already sold well over 1 million, and there’s already plenty of warrior games on the Switch.

Re: White House Meeting With Industry Execs Focuses On Violence In Video Games
Shouldn’t they do the same for movies? Or books? Heck what about music? If it’s too violent for you don’t play it.

I’m avoiding this sight until the direct is over. See you guys later when everyone is arguing whether it was a good direct or not.

Hopefully half of direct tomorrow won’t be Labo info.

Re: Nintendo Switch Tops US Sales In December, 3DS Sales Highest Since 2014
That’s great for the 3ds but I hope it doesn’t encourage Nintendo to continue making games for it. Don’t get me wrong I love it but it’s hard to go back to it when you have a Switch.
