Anyway interesting news, maybe I'll check it out, looks like a fun retro RPG (even if story-wise seems based on the first anime which destroyed the original work of Arakawa with no shame ;w; ).
The feather system is definitely the wrongest part of the game, even if I understand their need to push the summons as main method for get 5 stars heroes. Anyway glad that they are covering by using these events too, they get extra spotlight and we get some much needed items XD
Really enjoying the game so far, it's not the typical Fire Emblem, but as a sort of lite spin-off for quick plays is pretty much perfect.
I just find some choices with the number of items required odd for say the least, but considering how worse most mobile games do I don't think I should complain too much XD
Liked the first Yokai Watch and admittely even watched the full first season of the anime, it's definitely an entertaning franchise.
However this year is already shaping up quite intense with the Switch and all the new games, not sure I'll find any space for the Yokai-hype ^_^;
I sincerely agree with this tactic and never found the launch line-up really that weak. It's clear that nintendo is not aiming to sell as many console as possible at launch, but before the end of 2017 and I see nothing wrong with that.
Zelda at launch with Mario Kart close is perfect for sell the Switch to those that skipped the Wii U and Wii U owners like me will be pushed before the end of the year to upgrade with the new games coming out.
Sure, having all those games ready at launch would have sounded awesome, but it would have been also an overkill honestly XD
So glad Baseball is included, it's a pretty fun sport for videogames and by the trailer it seems on par with other good arcadish baseball games.
@memoryman3 Sadly it's unlikely that the amiibo can replace the card, afterall Daisy, as all the other characters, will have 5 cards, one for each sport.
Well, I love this game and love amiibo, never expected however that the two would meet up in such a way to ruin each other >_>;;;
Luckily it still sound like an amazing fun game, but with such a release date I'll have to switch between this and Zelda Wii U instead than actually get a Switch XD
Ah..ah...ah... The biggest Zelda ever made and I'll also have to play it at least twice to see everything... Let me say my goodbye to 2017, I doubt I'll have time for experience much of it >_>;;;
Not a problem for me, I will happily play the game fully in Italian, but overall it's annoying how more and more modern games bind their settings with the ones of the console (and it's not just a Zelda's matter, many games love to have their default untouchable settings).
I don't think anyone ever complained of the existence of the options' menu in games, develloppers should abuse it more, not try to make it die DX
Well, yes, third parties job is not making sure the Switch sell, but I thought that was a given.
It's Nintendo job to do that and I honestly think we are on the right track, while I managed to buy the 3DS and Wii U at a huge price drop thanks to the lack of even first party releases, the Switch first year line-up made pretty clear I won't be able to do that again, not unless I'm willing to skip some games I really can't wait to play.
Regarding third parties I'm just glad they are taking the Switch release more seriously, just a promess to be there for test the water without huge claims of exclusives and unprecedent support. Those will have to come anyway if the Switch sell, afterall Nintendo is still releasing a console weaker than the competition and two consoles ago the Wii's sales forced the poor third parties to mostly release exclusive titles as they had no way to port their multiplatform ones XD
I'm okay with Mii's losing their "being needed" on a system perspective, but I do hope nintendo won't stop messing around with them.
Games like Tomodachi Life were hilarious to play and their addition to Smash and Mario Kart, althought limited, allowed us to race and fight personally against some of the greatest characters of all time XD
Disgaea games are amazing, fantastic characters, great TRPG battle system, but they are also the only games I ever met that made me think that there is a thing as too much contenent XD
I'll probably skip this one, I have enough hard time finishing much shorter TRPGs like FE, this is way out of my schedule >.>;;;
Hyped about FE Warriors, but they could have made a batter trailer. All it confirmed is the ability to fight hundreads of soldiers and using special moves... not really the details I would call new infos. Althought... I could be wrong... the number of enemies on screen was pretty high, higher than in Hyrule Warriors on Wii U even; a showcase of the Switch's potential?
Anyway the 3DS port is a wonderful news, it really raises my hopes; all 3DS warriors games (Samurai Chonicles, Hyrule Legends) have the mechanic of controlling and guiding more characters on the battlefield; FE Warriors will be on 3DS, the mechanic is literally a FE one, at this point it's pretty much confirmed for this game too, right? Right?! ;w;
They are dubbing it in every language?!?!?! O___O;;;;
...sorry for the reaction, but the idea of playing a game dubbed in Italian it's always a fantastic unbelievable news to me, it happened really rarely in my gaming life, and obviously never even dared to dream that one day it would have happened with a Zelda title O_O
Most technical concerns should be easy to deal with thanks to the trail period, it's clear that they are confident in their service, else noone will start paying for it once the trial is over.
My main problem, as I mentioned too many times, is how these paid services kinda cut the userbase in half, those always playing online can pretty much pay and accept such fee, afterall they're gonna get back more value than they paid for, but for the users like me that just like some occassionally online sessions this is a terrible choice between giving up a small, but appreciated, part of our gaming life or pay for a service we won't use enough for justify the price.
I really hope Nintendo will address somehow this "issue" instead then ignore it entirely as the competition does (unless Nintendo's service will be so cheap to make all my complains pointless, but I hardly imagine them going much cheaper than the other consoles at this point ^_^;;; ).
By the way...At a closer look, that's not even hidden code XD
The write "Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation for nintendo Switch" would appear to anyone entering into the Warriors' page and failing to load the logo of "Revelation" that links to the 3DS game (which is at the bottom of the page).
It's very hard to imagine they would reveal they're upcoming port to anyone failing to load a pic, most likely the programmer had to write "for nintendo Switch" so much that day that they went overboard and accidentally turned Revelation too in a Switch game >w>;;;
Still have to complete Fates on 3DS, so can't say I'm interested in a Switch port. Anyway the code could mean all or nothing, they wouldn't be the first ones to write down not real stuffs in the code for tests and tries (or just for silly fun, that's the way of the programmer afterall XD).
Oh my... Suda51 is as crazy as his own games and I mean it as a compliment!
(I got the hint that he was like that even before, but the full translation pretty much confirm it XD).
It was a very interesting speech, maybe a bit messy, but the man sound really like the legendary devellopper he is, really interested to see what he will make with his idea.
Nintendo is amazing as always with the file size of its games, only 13 GB for an open world game is impressive and I can't even imagine how huge the new game must be considering they rarely go beyond the 3GB mark despite their games always having rich contenent.
Sounds pretty fair, afterall the Join-Con grip with the charger sound like an extra, not a needed piece of hardware. All I want is the option to hold the Joy-Con like a regular controller when the Switch is docked and the default Joy-Con grip does just that.
I have Wii Play, not a great game, but it was a worthy purchase since it was bundled with a wiimote and yet cost like a standalone wiimote, so the game was literally free.
If that's the title I have to compare 1,2 Switch with then 1,2 Switch really must be a bad game not worthy of a purchase as a standalone thing... how to say... Reggie didn't really pick a good example this time around ^_^;;;
"We thought that the consumer that already had a Wii or a Wii U and had purchased those games once or twice already, we didn't think that they'd buy the NES Classic. And they did."
In other words you don't know your own fanbase and how crazy it can be, despite keep claiming so ^_^;;;
@Sinton Yes and no. For put it in another way, all contenent exclusive to Plus members can only be used by a Plus member. If you interrupt your Subscription, you're not a Plus member anymore and therefore you can't access all the games, themes and DLC you got for free as part of the Plus Subscription, but if you renown the Subscription you gain back your access to them.
So, it's not accurate to say you "lose" all the games by unsubscribing from the Plus service, but that's pretty much the case for those planning to stop using the Plus service and never renown it again.
I'm not sure if "renting" the games is a bad thing, if anything the Nintendo service will be easier to interrupt.
On PsPlus and XboxGold you keep the games, but the more you build up your free library the more interrupting the service can sound fearsome as all the titles you got in this way will be unusable after the unsubscription.
Still my main problem remain with the basic multiplayer online being part of the paid service, for people like me that play 90-95% offline it's hard to consider acceptable this pay2play service, but I also loved that 5-10% of time I used to spend online >.<
Expecting the service to be priced similar to the competition I kinda hope that nintendo will offer a much cheaper option that only include the online multiplayer without all the other trinkets.
I would definitely consider to pay few euros each year for play online, but an high price for a service and bonuses I would barely use? No thanks >_>;;;
@PlywoodStick I wouldn't say there is such a huge oxymoron here, FE and the Warriors serie actually have a key gameplay element in common, the need to be aware everytime of what's happening on the whole map and plan according to it.
It can appear less obvious in a Warrior game (and I don't deny the strategy is not at level with any strategy-focused game), but just button-smashing enemies while aiming to the objective can easily bring to quick defeats in the more challanging maps.
I definitely have my hopes high in this regard, Warriors games based on other franchises usually borrow some elements from them, and the only thing I can imagine they can take from FE is an even deeper approch on the strategy aspect.
.....or maybe they'll just play safe and make a copy of Hyrule Warriors with the addition of perma death >_>;;;
I was already hyped with that little tease in the Switch presentation, never even dared to dream we could get some extra infos about FE Warriors so soon.
Loved the presentation, the only thing I missed for join the Switch hype was a nice software reveal and with things like Mario, Fire Emblem Warriors and more I'm convinced I'll have to buy the Switch at some point without any "maybe".
My only problem is the paid-service, with how casually I play online it's an hard sell for me, but not having it will cut me out of Splatoon, the only online shooter I ever enjoyed ;w; (And I know Splatoon 2 will have free online with the trial period, but buy a game knowing it will be unplayable in a matter of few months is...not the sweetest deal for say the least >.<).
@Rukiafan7 It does? O.O Wow, if they say so then they really want to sell those PS+ if they even lie for sell them XD But I really have no idea why the cards say that, I just know that I never paid for the PLUS service and yet I can purchase and download games just fine.
@Rukiafan7 That's quite the hyperbole, no online store is based on Subscription, indeed on PS4 the PlaystationStore is the only online service I have access to since it's free XD
You know the Switch presentation was good when they had to cut out the trailer of a remastered/"deluxed" port of one of the biggest selling titles on Wii U.
Obviously it's gonna cost more in pounds then dollars...
But I'm lucky cause I'm in Italy and pay with Euro! (sarcasm)
Gamestop already setted the price at 330€ which is even higher then a straight pounds2euro conversion -.-;;;
Really hope they are pushing it a bit higher and that the final price will be set at least a little bit lower in the next days.
It was so unexpected and such a low move from Nintendo and Koei, as if there weren't already enough awesome softwares announced for make the Switch a must-buy ;w;
Literally the only bad news in the whole presentation for me, I love to play online, but not consistently enough for a paid service (assuming it will cost like the competition).
Althought they mentioned a ton of stuffs, like chat and more, by smartdevices, so I'm holding to the thin hope that the basic multiplayer experience will still be avaiable for free.
EDIT: Well, at least Nintendo was kind enough to crush my thin hope soon by better defining the service on their page >.>;
Surely gonna check some runs, Games Done Quick is a very enternaining event for say the least.
@Mega_Yarn_Poochy Really? No Mario Maker? That's a shame, last year race was amazing! Then again it was made in summer, maybe they are saving those classics runs for the next Summer AGDQ.
Not sure if it's mean or ingenius, they left us starving for new infos for months (let's even say years) and now they're gonna give us everything we wanted to know and more in a single focused overwhelming day XD
@Solid_Stannis I disagree, maybe because I grew up forced to learn English in order to play some games, or maybe it's because when a game is translated it feels like a proof that gaming got a bigger relevance around here, but I can't avoid to see every game properly translated in italian as a victory.
Althought I do agree more people should study english, it's just a too useful knowledge for fully ignore it.
Played the game not even a week ago, but didn't even try the multiplayer since I knew the servers were closing so soon.
Still not feel like the game have lost its "saving grace" or something like that, I really liked the campaign a lot, I found it to be a very fun game with crazy action and I needed a frenetic gameplay like that after too many hours spent with RPGs XD
Such a shame, always thought that an open world game with a super fast character as protagonist would have been awesome, can't believe we got so close to have it and failed T.T (Althought personally I always imagined it with Sonic, but even Flash is a perfect option XD).
Focusing the debate about the Switch on power alone is unavoidable; sadly nowaday it seems that the standard gamer is the one that can't even look at a game, let alone play it, if it doesn't have a 16k resolution and runs at 999 frames per seconds, therefore a console is not even worthy to be taken in consideration if it's not powerful enough for run a game on the higher than the highest settings.
Just for be clear, I don't agree with that, I can personally enjoy a game at low resolution and 20fps if it's good, but that just make me and many MANY others not-standard gamers for the industry >_>;
It's surely a pain to lose eight years of work, but if you do a project like this then you know that this can happen.
Doesn't help either that they even used the official Pokemon logo for the thing, by doing that as soon as their project raised in popularity they placed Nintendo in the position to lose their trademark if they said nothing; no wonders they intervened and shutted the thing down.
@Rei Well, it's great to hear they at least read the mails, even the timing is not weird considering Sun and Moon just came out. Guess their support team works afterall, too bad it's likely overwhelemed and too slow for be useful right now because whoever is in charge of the support site is not updating it since 2009 or something >_>;
Tempted to cross my fingers that at least Europe will get some... one full download as a reward... but I'm really losing any hope that we can get a single decent reward at this point...
@Rei I ask right back at you, I thought it was only the italian Pokemon site to have a not-updated support section, now I gotta guess it's a European thing if not a global one, I sincerely can't believe it...
A shame we didn't reach the goal, but indeed they made it too complicated to participate... I had to make a new account as the old one was unusable, no matter what I tried, and it helps even less that the support section of the site (the Italian one at least) is still based on the Pokemon dreamworld of black and white which closed ages ago >.>;
No surprise they discarded the idea, I bet that in the N64 days it wasn't that easy to fully implement, those blocky graphics were pulling hardwares limits back then (gosh, if things changed fast XD) and by the time the CPUs were strong enough the big names in the industry like Nintendo were pretty much forced to push those CPUs to the limit.
@Moms-Meowth Actually you're quote is not wrong, only the context. Iwata said that regarding the port of classic games like Super mario Bros for NES on smartphone, simple lazy ports on touch screens of iconic games requiring phisical button would have been a quick easy cash and everyone in that period was expecting Nintendo to do that, but Iwata refused for the sake of gameplay's quality and Nintendo's name.
That's why he pushed Nintendo in the DeNA deal and the making of Super Mario Run. Nintendo is still following his wishes, even the price of Super mario Run proves it as they are aiming at a fair deal for all their gamers instead then try to cash as much as they can with the "keep paying" style all smartphone games use nowaday.
@Late To be fair mine was mostly a joke, given how hard it is to partecipate and how NOT in-game advertised the thing is I'm even surprised we reached 10 millions XD
But The Pokemon Company really need to fix their site, I couldn't log on in anyway to my old account, I typed all the datas asked and all I got was a "The access to the site from this computer have been temporary disabled" for the many tries they forced me to do; eventually I had to give up and make a new account using an old e-mail for sign in -.-;

Re: Review: Fire Emblem Heroes (Mobile)

But I'm lucky cause I'm in Italy and pay with Euro! (sarcasm)
Gamestop already setted the price at 330€ which is even higher then a straight pounds2euro conversion -.-;;;
Really hope they are pushing it a bit higher and that the final price will be set at least a little bit lower in the next days.
Re: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Confirmed For Nintendo Switch Launch Day
What to say, the trailer does its job, after watching it you can only wish to play BttW NOW, 3rd March will never come soon enough!
Re: Fire Emblem Warriors Has Been Announced For the Nintendo Switch
It was so unexpected and such a low move from Nintendo and Koei, as if there weren't already enough awesome softwares announced for make the Switch a must-buy ;w;
Re: Nintendo Switch to Introduce Paid Online Service in Autumn / Fall
Literally the only bad news in the whole presentation for me, I love to play online, but not consistently enough for a paid service (assuming it will cost like the competition).
Althought they mentioned a ton of stuffs, like chat and more, by smartdevices, so I'm holding to the thin hope that the basic multiplayer experience will still be avaiable for free.
EDIT: Well, at least Nintendo was kind enough to crush my thin hope soon by better defining the service on their page >.>;
Re: Awesome Games Done Quick is Underway, With Ocarina of Time 3D and Shovel Knight Included on Day One
Surely gonna check some runs, Games Done Quick is a very enternaining event for say the least.
@Mega_Yarn_Poochy Really? No Mario Maker? That's a shame, last year race was amazing! Then again it was made in summer, maybe they are saving those classics runs for the next Summer AGDQ.
Re: Nintendo Treehouse to Provide 'In-Depth Look' at Nintendo Switch Games on 13th January
Not sure if it's mean or ingenius, they left us starving for new infos for months (let's even say years) and now they're gonna give us everything we wanted to know and more in a single focused overwhelming day XD
Re: Confusion Reigns Over Zelda: Breath Of The Wild's Release Date In Europe
@Solid_Stannis I disagree, maybe because I grew up forced to learn English in order to play some games, or maybe it's because when a game is translated it feels like a proof that gaming got a bigger relevance around here, but I can't avoid to see every game properly translated in italian as a victory.
Althought I do agree more people should study english, it's just a too useful knowledge for fully ignore it.
Re: Devil's Third Loses Its Saving Grace as Online Servers Are Closed
Played the game not even a week ago, but didn't even try the multiplayer since I knew the servers were closing so soon.
Still not feel like the game have lost its "saving grace" or something like that, I really liked the campaign a lot, I found it to be a very fun game with crazy action and I needed a frenetic gameplay like that after too many hours spent with RPGs XD
Re: Video: Check Out the Open World Flash Game That Never Was
Such a shame, always thought that an open world game with a super fast character as protagonist would have been awesome, can't believe we got so close to have it and failed T.T (Althought personally I always imagined it with Sonic, but even Flash is a perfect option XD).
Re: Editorial: The Nintendo Switch 'Power' Debate is Likely Missing the Point
Focusing the debate about the Switch on power alone is unavoidable; sadly nowaday it seems that the standard gamer is the one that can't even look at a game, let alone play it, if it doesn't have a 16k resolution and runs at 999 frames per seconds, therefore a console is not even worthy to be taken in consideration if it's not powerful enough for run a game on the higher than the highest settings.
Just for be clear, I don't agree with that, I can personally enjoy a game at low resolution and 20fps if it's good, but that just make me and many MANY others not-standard gamers for the industry >_>;
Re: Nintendo Shuts Down Another Pokémon Fan Project
It's surely a pain to lose eight years of work, but if you do a project like this then you know that this can happen.
Doesn't help either that they even used the official Pokemon logo for the thing, by doing that as soon as their project raised in popularity they placed Nintendo in the position to lose their trademark if they said nothing; no wonders they intervened and shutted the thing down.
Re: The First Pokémon Sun and Moon 'Global Mission' Was a Bit of a Flop
@Rei Well, it's great to hear they at least read the mails, even the timing is not weird considering Sun and Moon just came out. Guess their support team works afterall, too bad it's likely overwhelemed and too slow for be useful right now because whoever is in charge of the support site is not updating it since 2009 or something >_>;
Re: Fresh Download Discounts Come To My Nintendo In North America
Tempted to cross my fingers that at least Europe will get some... one full download as a reward... but I'm really losing any hope that we can get a single decent reward at this point...
Re: The First Pokémon Sun and Moon 'Global Mission' Was a Bit of a Flop
@Rei I ask right back at you, I thought it was only the italian Pokemon site to have a not-updated support section, now I gotta guess it's a European thing if not a global one, I sincerely can't believe it...
Re: The First Pokémon Sun and Moon 'Global Mission' Was a Bit of a Flop
A shame we didn't reach the goal, but indeed they made it too complicated to participate...
I had to make a new account as the old one was unusable, no matter what I tried, and it helps even less that the support section of the site (the Italian one at least) is still based on the Pokemon dreamworld of black and white which closed ages ago >.>;
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Thinks Nintendo Should Have Made Minecraft
No surprise they discarded the idea, I bet that in the N64 days it wasn't that easy to fully implement, those blocky graphics were pulling hardwares limits back then (gosh, if things changed fast XD) and by the time the CPUs were strong enough the big names in the industry like Nintendo were pretty much forced to push those CPUs to the limit.
Re: Miyamoto on the Reasoning Behind Super Mario Run's Pricing
@Moms-Meowth Actually you're quote is not wrong, only the context. Iwata said that regarding the port of classic games like Super mario Bros for NES on smartphone, simple lazy ports on touch screens of iconic games requiring phisical button would have been a quick easy cash and everyone in that period was expecting Nintendo to do that, but Iwata refused for the sake of gameplay's quality and Nintendo's name.
That's why he pushed Nintendo in the DeNA deal and the making of Super Mario Run. Nintendo is still following his wishes, even the price of Super mario Run proves it as they are aiming at a fair deal for all their gamers instead then try to cash as much as they can with the "keep paying" style all smartphone games use nowaday.
Re: Pokémon Sun & Moon Sales Pass 2 Million in Europe
@Late To be fair mine was mostly a joke, given how hard it is to partecipate and how NOT in-game advertised the thing is I'm even surprised we reached 10 millions XD
But The Pokemon Company really need to fix their site, I couldn't log on in anyway to my old account, I typed all the datas asked and all I got was a "The access to the site from this computer have been temporary disabled" for the many tries they forced me to do; eventually I had to give up and make a new account using an old e-mail for sign in -.-;
