I'VE WAITED 7 YEARS FOR THEM TO BRING THIS TO SWITCH. First Fantasy Life i, then a new 2D Zelda, now Tales Of Graces, I don't even need a new Switch now.
@Yoshi3 It's better than Breath Of The Wild at least. I don't love Tears(I played it, don't own it) but at least it feels finished. Breath Of The Wild is a massive snooze fest. I'll probably buy the new 2D Zelda though since I just like 2D Zelda way more than 3D Zelda.
Absolutely loved Three Houses, it was the only one I actually finished since Path Of Radiance. Didn't like how generic the character designs looked in Engage's trailers, so I didn't get it. Plus the premise and gimmick didn't seem very engaging.
@Ooyah I can't believe anyone likes Hearts, it's tied with Zestiria for last imo. Xillia is most similar to Vesperia and Symphonia. It is one of the best.
@asmi8803 It's basically older 3D Zelda but in space, and in first person. Have you played any other metroidvania games like Castlevania, Ori, Ender Lilies, Hollow Knight, or Bloodstained. It's like all those but 3D.
Prime 4, 2D Zelda new or port(whatever Grezzo was cooking), Windwaker/Twilight Princess ports, Kirby spinoff(like every year), something stupid that nobody wants, Mario Party(maybe).
@Keyblade-Dan The true weirdos are those who like the games. I played the No More Heroes Switch port for 2 hours, and thought it was one of the worst games I ever played along with the likes of Paper Mario Sticker Star and Metroid Prime Federation Force.
Weird song choices, I don't think I know any, but know some of the artists. First time I ever seen a Clean Tears song in a game, which is amazing. Best vocaloid and trance producer by far. Also one of my Top 5 music artists period. Might have to get it.
But the skinny side of the dock is supposed to be facing forward... because that's where the USB ports and the power LED are. And thus the cords come out the back of it. USB or controller ports and power indicator are at the FRONT. Cords come out the BACK. Like every other console ever made. I get what they're trying to do, I just don't know why.
@GooseLoose1 As one of the only people in the world to own the PSVITA and to have played hundreds of hours on it, it is a product line that should not be brought back. The Switch is better in literally every way and has so many features they didn't even think to put in the PSVITA. The only brilliant thing the PSVITA did was having a cellular option, but 3G wasn't good for much, so it was kinda useless anyway. The battery life on that thing was trash, just like the PSP, and every Sony controller. Nintendo handhelds are underpowered, but at least they turn on when you want to play them.
@iLikeUrAttitude It's because it's Pokemon but with really good graphics. If Scarlet/Violet looked anywhere close to that, it would have sold 40+ million copies.
This is actually a pretty good list. I think Pokemon Unite could have been a bit higher. Although it has a lot of issues, it's one of my top 5 most played Switch games.
@Overzeal I really think it is going to be "Nintendo (insert verb based off whatever gimmick is involved, but probably make it also start with S for continuity)." Nintendo Slide - the screens slide past each other. Nintendo Scribble - it has a surface tablet pen. Or maybe if it's AR, VR, or uses a screen type we haven't thought of the Nintendo View.
@JohnnyMind The Japanese dub is.... oof. Not recommended. It takes you from fun Neptune, to cringe Neptune, instantly. I like Japanese audio on 90% of things, but not this series, nope.
@imadeanaccount Neptune is an incredibly fun character, I could listen to her babble all day. A lot of the humor relies on references to video games. Also the music is incredible. That's about it. They should probably just be visual novels. I really like them, but objectively they're a solid 6/10. If you don't like anime weebiness, they should probably be skipped in favor of RPGs with more to offer.
My cousin has been insisting that I experience Earthbound, so I've been playing it on and off for months. I'm getting ready to fight Giygas this weekend. After that, I will continue Pokemon: Legends Arceus, which I only put 10 hours on so far.
@Dazman It's not really a rumor, it's an inevitability. They cannot sell the Switch forever, and once Switch sales fall they will fall like a brick. They also need to get a hardware followup out at least a year or two before the next Playstation or XBOX to get some Christmas seasons to themselves.
@Ultimapunch Japan doesn't do cents, so you take off 2 zeros. This gets you around 500,000 USD as a shorthand. Then it's another 30.8% lower, so 346,000 USD.
This was the first video game I ever played. My mind was blown by the prospect of growing virtual vegetables. I played it constantly. It's very jank but I still like it.
Basically Nintendo used to have 4 flavors of the Metroidvania genre. Sidescroller(2D Metroid), Top-Down(2D Zelda), Third Person(3D Zelda), First Person(Metroid Prime). Now we have possibly two left(Prime 4 may or may not exist), because Zelda has become Assassin's Creedcraft. At least Pikmin is somewhat attempting to fill that gap.
Now all we need is Metroid Prime 4, Mario Kart 9, Persona 6, the next Elder Scrolls, a new Metal Gear Solid made by Kojima, and this decade of gaming gridlock will end.
@Not_Soos The movie from like 10+ years ago. I didn't know they were making something new, still I don't trust it to be good. Live action fantasy needs a high budget, or else it gets cringey looking CGI.
It's going to suck like Avatar The Last Airbender live-action did. It would be far more appropriate if animated to look like the Link's Awakening concept art as shown above. They're going to try to make it dark and edgy while the tone of most games are pretty whimsical.
@Frogspree I don't get achievements, unless it's like Kirby Air Ride, where the achievements actually give you stuff in game. Gamerscore and Trophies are for narcissists that want to talk up their "game cred". It's like Reddit karma, completely useless and doesn't serve a real purpose. Nintendo doesn't need to do it because everyone else does.
Why aren't they showing that the game has like 20 different Kirby colors? That's one of the best features, and something sorely lacking in every Kirby since. Luckily, they had it in Dream Buffet though.
Now I'm going to have to go back and read you guys review of every other Kirby game, because this score is garbage. Kirby's Dreamland better be a 2 using whatever scale this is.

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Xenoblade Chronicles X For Switch?
Absolutely not! I just overpaid for it on Wii U because it was clear that the odds of this happening were in the negatives. I'm so mad.
Re: Sonic 3 Star Keanu Reeves Has "Done His Homework" For Role As Shadow
Jim Carrey did his homework too and created a character completely opposite of the original. These Sonic movies are really overrated.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Confirmed For Switch
I just bought it on Wii U. Now I'm upset.

@Tyranexx People are divided over the story and characters, but the battle and progression system for Graces is the best in the series.

Re: Rumour: 'Tales Of Xillia Remastered' Switch Release Spotted Online
@RR529 If you like Abyss and Vesperia, there is no reason you wouldn't like Xillia. Symphonia is pretty great too. I hated Zestiria and Berseria.

Re: Miyamoto And Avi Arad Have Been Discussing The Zelda Movie For A Decade
@Not_Soos The movie from like 10+ years ago. I didn't know they were making something new, still I don't trust it to be good. Live action fantasy needs a high budget, or else it gets cringey looking CGI.
Re: Miyamoto And Avi Arad Have Been Discussing The Zelda Movie For A Decade
It's going to suck like Avatar The Last Airbender live-action did. It would be far more appropriate if animated to look like the Link's Awakening concept art as shown above. They're going to try to make it dark and edgy while the tone of most games are pretty whimsical.
