People in here wishing for Beamdog to handle this are forgetting how awful the Switch port of Neverwinter Nights was. Just check the NintendoLife review.

@a_brave_new_geek And all of those games are based on Wizardry (1981).

Can't wait for the next articles:

"Switch 2 Doesn't Really Need Analog Sticks That Don't Drift"
"Switch 2 Doesn't Really Need the Digital Voucher Program"

Imagine arguing in favor of having fewer features.

This is straight up DMCA abuse from Nintendo.

SEGA develops nothing that is worth $60, let alone $70. They exist largely off the backs of the better developers they have bought over the years, like Atlus and Creative Assembly.

30 hours for Etrian Odyssey? Not sure how anyone could beat the game that quickly. It took me over 100 hours.

Shame on any company that doesn't have a discount running on their eShop titles right now.

That includes you, Nintendo.

If the extra $10 were going to pay for a bigger card, then there's no justification for making the digital version $70. Just pure greed at that point.

I guess they took the $70 Zelda price pretty hard.

I miss Iwata.

Yes, that's all I have to say, NL.

Kind of pathetic to see Twitter replies encouraging the developers to jack the price up even higher.

Looks like a toxic community. I had considered purchasing this title in the past, but now I will definitely be staying away.

Tell me you only play games on PlayStation without telling me you only play games on PlayStation.

Nintendo ninja lawyers probably told them to stop taking submissions.

The drift-free Hall Effect joysticks are the future, and are seeing increased adoption (Steam Deck, 8bitdo).

But Nintendo will probably cheap out and not use them on the next console.

Typical Nintendo leaving money on the table by abandoning title support too early.

Oh boy....

Thanks for reminding me, gotta pre-order my copy.

The 3DS has been getting more updates lately than the Switch.

The framerate is better than Age of Calamity. Not sure how anyone would get the impression otherwise.

That said, I am surprised they ditched the "performance mode" feature from the last Fire Emblem Warriors. The graphical tradeoff was worth the better framerate.

Ah yes, the annual tradition of filling out an Atlus survey for more Switch games only to recieve practically none.

Considering the slowdown in sales is due to component shortage rather than slowing interest.....I'm going to say Nintendo is in no hurry nor need of a successor at this time.

My wild guess is 2024 at earliest.

Fire Emblem has some serious whales.

Kirby can't believe what he's seeing.

The Ignore feature here is great, but we also need a "hide any posts that are replying to a person you have ignored" feature.

So NIS America is the Etrian Odyssey publisher in Europe, but Atlus is the publisher for Etrian Odyssey in America?

@KBuckley27 Level-5 shut down their North American operations. That's pretty much a cancellation.

"Nintendo of America was the biggest part of global Nintendo, half of the sales and profits"

Interesting, if not entirely surprising.

Some days, I really miss the Iwata era of Nintendo.

Once again, Capcom forgot they released Monster Hunter Stories on 3DS.

Xenosaga seems more likely than Xenogears, considering Nintendo's working relationship with Bandai Namco, but still seems unlikely overall.

Online leaderboards in games are a waste of time. The top person always has a suspiciously impossible score/time.

I suspect any additional consoles from this point on will require the Expansion Pack.

Depends on the series, as some have fairly standalone entries that don't require knowledge of previous entries - like Dragon Quest.

But imagine starting a game like Kingdom Hearts III without playing the previous entries 😬

I personally enjoy Dynasty/Samurai Warriors, Hyrule Warriors, Fire Emblem Warriors and Persona 5 Strikers, but this game has no appeal to me.

Musou games really do require you to care about the source material to maintain interest.

Hunting down the amiibo will be more difficult than any of the monsters in the game.

No discount on Monster Hunter Stories is a huge disappointment 😒

TMNT for NES is pretty much the original Dark Souls.

To be fair, calling Odyssey open world is a stretch. It is also segmented into levels, albeit larger ones than a traditional Mario game.

A true open world game generally has one contiguous world, like Breath of the Wild.

@TheFrenchiestFry

"This is fake as all hell lmao

Chrono Cross remaster: Before Trigger? Seriously?"

Oof.

Nintendo once again missing the forest for the trees.

The Streisand Effect is strong here.

Atlus: "This is the Persona game you guys wanted, right?"

"Reduces the number of gimmicks for successive jumps after the leyline in Demon King’s Castle: 3rd Stratum"

I just did that part a couple of hours ago and those jump mechanics were really annoying 😂

What's Arika doing these days? Endless Ocean 3, please.

"Wear is unavoidable" and yet my WaveBird controller from 2004 has zero drift, whereas my launch joycons began drifting after 2 years. 🤷‍♂️

The problem isn't really wear, it's poor design.

If your work is used in the final product - regardless of how long you actually worked on the project - you should be credited.

The design is based on the "Lion's Gate" in the ancient Greek city of Mycenae:

No Labo VR support is a shame. I realize that not many people have Labo, but still.

I'm starting to think NintendoLife writes articles about mods specifically to alert Nintendo to their existence 😏
