Yes! Finally. Been waiting do long for this one!!! Now my Shantar collection will be complete!!!

@GrailUK I've been wanting to play that game! Glad to read that it's good!

@Aneira I do get where you are coming from. FF VI and VII have such great plotlines, so many characters, extra characters that are optional and not everything is spelled out, so much is left to the imagination to fill the blanks. But with the newer games everything is spelled out, sometimes to the extend of over explaining. Fewer characters, bigger visuals, lots of booms and bams, little depth. That's why I was glad I played the Pocket Version first. It's got all the story, but a not so OOOOOH artstyle, I had to use my imagination again and some plotpoints are incorporated that are not fully fleshed out, giving it that old school "not everything is explained" feel.
I sometimes miss the days of really great RPG's. Lufia, older Tales of.. Games, the older Final Fantasy's. So I really do get what you are saying. I hope the upcoming Mana remake will scratch my itch. And I saw a trailer today of the Shin Megami Tensei III Remaster that looks very promising.
So, in conclusion, perhaps give the FF XV Pocket Edition a shot, you might like that one and fingers crossed that ff XVI will be better, though I wasn't that fond of the trailer to be honest... They should have a new writer now though, so we shall see.

@Aneira FF VIII, VII, VI, IX, X, I, IV, III, II just a little, didn't play, XII, XIII, XI, XIV, V. So no, not all of them but most of them. I guess the biggest problem was the hype, since you named the disappointment. People were expecting so much, the biggest, baddest most spectacular, but got something quite precious. And I played it as that precious little thing, which made it very special to me, cause I played it quite a while after the release.

@Aneira Are you sure you played the game? Especially with episode Ardyn DLC everything falls into place. It's an allegory for the story of Christ, and it's quite beautifully written. Especially in the pocket version, where the story takes central stage, it has quite the pace. I thought it was brilliant!

FFXV is not getting enough love! Played both the Pocket Edition (get that one, you're gonna love it) and the main title and it's story and grand build up is amazing. Very theological as well!! So I guess my list is as follows:

FF XV
FF I
FF VIII
FF VII
FF IV
FF VI
FF X

Yeah, I think that's about it.
FF VI

Come on. It's an adventure game. Fallout is not in a "fantasy world" as such, but it's a first person RPG. Borderlands has RPG elements. Paper Mario for some reason stopped being an rpg. Of I don't get experience points, it's not an rpg.

I think this is what all of us wanted it to be. And now I can never unsee it. What could have been... WHYYYYYYY 😭😭😭

I cant wait to try the button scheme on my switch lite!

Woohooooo. This is so cool 😎

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!! IT'S HAPPENING!!! IT'S HAPPENING!!! ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN!!!!

I love grinding, but AAAAAAAAH THE MOON OF FFIV!!! I didn't finish that game because of that fr*#+in Moon! I love grinding, but not in the end game. IT'S THE ENDGAME. Now I want to play FFIV again...

@Friendly I honestly could never handle the ancient cave hahaha. The story is what grabbed me, shook me to my core and what kept me playing. And that #"&%#' Tarantula-spider-boss thingy hahaha. Opoh, now I want to defeat the Sinistrals all over again!!!

And so the adventure continues... Forever. I soooooooo know that feeling!!!

@dewokkel I would sooooo love that, although nowadays any new SNES addition to the online service would be something. Although.... Noooo, any game would be welcome!

@Friendly I loooooove that game! First RPG I ever played and since then I cannot stop playong them, always hoping some game will ever be as great as that one. Some get there (Tales of the Abyss, Ys VIII, Final Fantasy games), most of them don't however. I still go back to the game sometimes, reliving the memories.

Said it before and I'll say it again: LUFIA!!! 😭😭😭😭 I would love a Lufia game on the switch!

Still waiting for pokemon Let's go Gold and Silver (or Marill and Schnubbel). Didn't really care for diamond and pearl back in the day. Don't know what it was, but it just couldn't grab me like the other games did. Perhaps my expectations were to high back then of what a DS could do.

Classic mode is soooooo cool. All the castlevania nostalgia! So much fun. Almost finished my second playthrough of the main game. Still one of my favorites!

@johnvboy omg that reply is EPIC!!! You played the reverse card 😄😄😄

@WiltonRoots Yes, I responded to the GIF, but once I posted, your GIF was gone. It was a funny GIF! 😊😊😊

@WiltonRoots We have to do something while in lockdown right??? 🤣🤣🤣 It's a total hoot(hoot). 😄

@antdickens in that case I stand corrected 😊

@johnvboy right? If there was news on Prime 4 this article wouldn't exist. Maybe perhaps next week we can remember when the price details of the Super Nintendo were released.

@COVIDberry I think you're saying: "You think news is slow now, I know when new was slow, back then, that is when news was slow". Because I said, news is slow now. So I'm saying, I know, I was there, I lived the Star Wars (Wii U era). Hell I lived the Gameboy Era... I'm old... Anyway, my post was not it being slow news perse, it was more a, wow, what a weird thing to remember as "news" now, must mean there's no Breath of the Wild 2 to cover. Cause I think this article wouldn't exist if there was Breath of the Wild 2 news.

@antdickens I thought it said launch titled instead of launch details when I first read it. Could be I'm wrong though.

@johnvboy right? But I guess with Covid and Animal Crossing selling as it does, Nintendo could just sit back and relax and see their stocks go up. But I hope they don't. But I get that development is really difficult in this period. We're all struggling.

@COVIDberry did you just call me Red? Really? 4 years ago called, they want their slurs back (get it, 4 yeara ago, because of the articl... Aah never mind). And I now all about the wii u era, trust me, i have MEMberries (get it, south park, and your name is COVIDbe... Aaah, never mind). Point is, remembering the day we learned the price of the switch launch is... Well, I don't think its worth MEMbering (get, it, with the berries agai... Aaah, never mind)

@Damo the switch wasn't shown of 4 years ago though. The details of pricing, release date and launchtitles were revealed, the switch itself was revealed before that. They also changed the headline, the original headline was "4 years ago the switch launch titles were revealed" or something in that notion. The switch reveal "after so many years" I get, "We learned price details 4 years ago"... Noooo, that's not news worthy (in my opinion)

When there is so little nintendo news, you have to report that there was nintendo news 4 years ago... We need a new Direct..

Something is more then nothong right? And I think the fighters should be well known gaming figures, not from an obscure "japan only"game for the longest time. I played the rom as a kid like 20 years ago and loved it, but not everyone has that history woth that character. I think many more have that with Sephiroth (can't wait to play him btw).

The pop-in on my switch lite especially got me out of the game. It's not as bad in docked mode, but on Lite there's a clear borderline which keeps oon loading. Gameplay wise it's awesome and it's got me hooked, but the graphics are not too good...

@PickledKong64 no it doesn't. It's a buggy mess! The texts disappears every now and then and the framerate is choppy (at least when I played it). So I then decided, if It's not gonna run well, it's gonna run bad on the switch, cause then it's in handheld. And with the previous patch that kind of worked. Until they patched it again a few months back and messed everything up again framerate wise! These developers cannot develop. Which is like the saddest thing ever, cause Casltevania is one of my favorite franchises.

"Yay, let's bring this game to another platform it doesn't run on. "If it doesn't run on a Xbox One X, it's not gonna run on your android.

Analysts since the switch was announced: "I don't get it.".
Millions of people buying it: "We do!".
People been being sceptic of the switch since the reveal and it's proven time and time again Nintendo is doing good by listening to it's own ideas instead of the analysts.

Ys Origin, Pokemon DLC Tundra and Pikmin 3. And gonna buy and play them all 3, backlog be damned 😝

On my second playthrough of pokemon shield, gonna go to the Isle of Armor soon, and also playing Professor Layton. Both next to Super Mario Sunshine. Still as fun as it was when I first played it on the cube, but now the controls are controllable 😄

I'd like to know, does anyone know how the camera is handles in Sunshine. Booted it up on my cube a few weeks ago and the camera controls are reversed (sp not inverted I guess) and it's unplayable! So I hope they have a "normal" camera or at least an option to change it.

I waitrd for the past and loved every minute of it. I think I'll take it for a spin again soon!

Best: X and Y
Second: Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon
Third: Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee

@Cool_Squirtle thnx for the trailer.

So the trailer looks... Well for a game that's about a gamestreamer, there's a lot of girl (why the boob scene?) and not so much game. It's just another story of, girl "is coy and shows skin" so "people go psycho and stalk the girl" and that is not a narative that tells the truth. Psycho's just be psycho you know. It's always putting girls in the victim corner, never am a fan of that. Don't think they should just pull the game though. Although it might be tough filming all new scenes to tell a sligjtly different story.

I just hope they give a release date for Ys Origin. Other than that, I don't think they will give anything new. Hopefully that comes thursday, when they bring out the big guns direct. A girl can dream right?

@gaga64 congratulations!! And to all the YS VIII players I read, it's so great right? Finished it last year and still miss that game. It's in my top 3 list of best games ever. Now waiting for Ys IX. Playing some Pokemon in the meantime this weekend

@TimboSlice a lot of people are upset because tencent is involved. It's a google like company which has a chatting app that is huge in china. Data from that app is given to the chinese government and police to spy on people, leading to actual arrests. It's a company that helps oppression of people and it's now making a pokemon game. If you spend money on this game, you are funding this company, and therewith the oppression of people. That's the problem people have with this game.

WOOHOOOOO! RET-2-GO!!! Just finished Seven Sirens and these are the only 2 I haven't played completely yet, so gimme gimme gimme!!!!

WOEHOEEEEE! I'M SOOOOOO HAPPY! SO MUCH YS!!!!! YES YES YES!!!

Do you want to get bad publicity? 'Cause this is how you get bad publicity.

@TG16_IS_BAE aaah the gaming Gods giveth and the Gaming Gods taketh away.. They already gave me Ys IX to look forward to, I'm sooooooo happy about that!!! And I'm still hoping for that 35th anniversay Mario collection with Super Mario Sunshine (oooh, the memories of Sunshine)! And Horizon Forbidden West was FINALLY announced (now that's how you announce a game btw). So maybe, just maybe, the Pokemon Game Gods will listen and give us remakes (in my head there is giant Pikachu dressed like Zeus with a thunderbolt staring down on us).

@TG16_IS_BAE wasn't my cup of thea eather, but my husband put 80 hours into it. And for as far as I could tell it's still the same three making silkson, which is an even bigger game. Extraordinary! But I would also love to see some remakes! Pokemon Lets Go Eevee to me was a remake of Pokemon Fire Red, and I was hoping there would be a remake of Pokemon Gold and Silver, cause I never really got into the vibe of those games (even though I have Silver, Crystal and HeartGold and SoulSilver). I hoped the Let's Go mechanic wpuld bring me just the thing to enjoy the games at long last. I would also love another remake of ru y and sapphire, but that would be to soon I guess. Or my favourite, Pokemon X and Y. Aaaah, a girl can dream...

@TG16_IS_BAE I know, and I'm quite sure that's the case, I was just saying working on different games as a developer isn't impossible, because the other guy was saying that I should have known that it was impossible (which it's not). So I didn't agree and in that light made my statement. And then there is the fact that apperently there are 27 new job openings since last week, that certainly sparked my hope for another development project. But you are absolutely right. That makes it all the more amazing that a game like hollow knight was developed by just 3 people.
