@Nedtendo No, just do quick play for a while. Some characters are easier to pick up than others. Lucio, Soldier 76, Pharah are good starts.

@Scollurio is right, the community on PC is intense. Everybody wants to be the next esport recruit on competitive mode. Quick play mode is some better.

I'm getting it with the mindset that it's going to be a casual account for when I'm not at the PC. Not trying to invest in skins or any of that.

What frustrates me is all of the people that bought physical copies of this game, including myself. A patch is a patch I guess, but it sounds like it might as well be a remaster.

Getting the physical for Daemon X Machina, but that's it.

This game is really reminding me of the Monster Hunter play cycle, only it's mechs instead of armor...I liked the first demo but can understand why this would be love it or hate it.

I've played Overwatch on PC since the beginning, and I'm going to throw a few things out here for people that may be confused. The article could have been more thorough...

The only things I can think of that could have carried over on a cross save are 1) cosmetic skins and other cosmetic items that you get through loot boxes; 2) replay data; 3) your experience level and competitive ranking data. Acquired cosmetics are a sticking point I guess, but it's not like the default skins are terrible. I'm not a lootbox fan, but this is one of less offensive versions of it to me. I just wouldn't buy them.

I can understand the crossplay to a point. The PC community has always been separate from consoles because of mouse v. right stick aiming. Gyro aiming raises an interesting question, though. Personally I think what is fair would be to have Switch community to itself until it's sorted out how well the gyro aim works, then put it with PC or console.

I've heard a lot about the lack of a physical, too, and felt the need to say this. Overwatch is regularly being added to with characters, maps, game modes, seasonal events, I could go on. I am generally first in line for a physical game, but Overwatch really is more like Warframe where it makes more sense as a download. The game card just isn't that useful for this one.

Smells fishy...

I stayed ticked for a long time about the whole nonsense with the first game. But I have to say this one is looking pretty good. I may pick it up.

My guesses...

Overwatch is real with a release date. That would make an amazing Direct for me already.

Last sales pitches for Luigi's Mansion 3, Link's Awakening, and Pokemon. Nintendo is counting on those for the holidays and as evergreen titles, too. This will probably take more time than people want it to.

Fire Emblem DLC get's a preview.

It baffles me that they are still focusing on 2019. There still might be a Wii U port in the wings for this year, but it's hard for me to imagine another major 1st party game butting up against Pokemon. I could see some other 3rd parties like Doom Eternal getting a mention, though. Overwatch should dominate any 3rd party conversations, really.

If they are really releasing SNES games on NSO, the time is now.

I don't know about immediately, but a release date for Banjo, followed by a trailer for Terry Bogard. I think that's a sure bet.

The "one more thing" will either be a meatier trailer for BOTW 2 or Bayonetta 3. I've given up on seeing anything from Retro for now, Metroid or otherwise.

Shovel Knight, King of Cards would be great.

@Dodger you might consider the 8bitdo controllers for that. I have an SN30 Pro and it pretty well covers what you're talking about.

@flojomojo No magic, but it still works after eshop servers go down. And it's a legal means of getting the ROM.

Gotta say, this will probably be a niche system, but the sheer number of games coming on these cartridges make me smile.

Nintendo could be selling a lot of these with their own games for Switch right now. They could have had an NES Classic Pack 1 with the plug and play's games, or one for the SNES version with Star Fox 2 on the Switch. Or helping Interplay, etc. publish some of these with their games. I just have to shake my head.

I don't think this eliminates loot boxes, but it will help the consumer. Some companies will feel like they have to improve the odds somewhat. Worst case scenario would be someone like EA be caught lying on their disclosures by empirical evidence. Then governments may step in more.

Too busy with Fire Emblem, to be honest.

I wonder if this is getting a physical release like the 2nd did?

I'm leaning towards the Blue Lions. They seem to be the best foundation for a blue knight calvary so...yeah. 😛

Holding out for my FE preorder, but MUA3 is tempting. Battleship, too. I didn't realize that was coming.

@NEStalgia I get what your saying about the school setting, but I'm still excited to see what Intelligent Systems does with it. The whole point of the school to me storywise is the leaders of the three houses went to school together and had more friendly rivalries, but for some reason they're now at war. It also seems to be a vehicle for influencing the main campaign to an extent I don't think has been done before.

But then again, the reviews may end up with a common thread of "once you get through the tedious school section, the games gets really good." At least we don't have long to wait.

The Switch Lite really isn't for most of the people commenting on it. It's meant to convince parents to buy their younger children a Nintendo handheld because it's $100 cheaper. Or to buy it as a second Switch to stop the siblings (or significant other) from fighting over time with the first one.

The good news is it will expand the install base on an already healthy Switch games library. More third party support should follow. That benefits everybody.

@elpardo1984 @Grumblevolcano thanks for reminding me, makes more sense now.

So, guessing the physical version won't have the DLC now...

I'm thinking there were also quite a few people too busy typing four-letter words to type the hashtag.

Ok then...I take it the story is more than what can be packed into a trailer, but they tried anyway.

My understanding is that the pilots of these mechs are an evolved version of mankind that have no freedom. They're basically following orders. I could kind of see that through the trailer. But they did a bad job editing this.

Star Fox is still one of my all time favorites to this day. I'll look forward to watching it.

I do think the new game looks like a lot of fun. Some DKC like moments, but different, too. I'll look forward to it.

The man sounds determined. I'm glad.

The biggest issue I've had with Playtonic was the delay to Switch. More transparency would have been helpful.

Hopefully this game helps them further rebuild the glory days. Rare's best-remembered IP's have a certain whimsical charm about them that I do think Yooka-Laylee carries on.

While I do appreciate Square wanting to make the library always available digitally (to me that is the good side of the virtual console, steam, eshop, etc.) I really wish they would drop this streaming talk. The bottom will fall out on all of the subscriptions and the industry will crash eventually.

There is a place for free to play online games, Warframe showed me that. But as someone who had to recently move to a rural place with no internet going down the road, streaming is the worst thing that could happen to me.

Should be some good shooters on this one.

Just glad to see this coming to Switch.

Grant Kirkhope raises a good question. Yooka-Laylee's critical reception doesn't help matters much, either.

Rare is in an odd state. Totally different personnel that in my mind used Sea of Thieves as a way of trying to learn to make a real game again after Kinect software. But they are making a Battletoads game now. Time will tell.

I do think that if Microsoft seriously supported a Banjo-Kazooie game, people would get excited and buy it, Xbox or not.

Preordered the physical. It's on the Square Enix Store.

Hard to know...there definitely wasn't any Nintendo news at the Microsoft conference.

The 2019 part bothers me the most...surely we'll get some kinda glimpse into 2020.

Give them a chance. I'm sure they learned a bit on the last go round.

Weird. I don't think it's NMH, but what...

@Ziondood welcome and best of luck.

It's a good sign...E3 announcement?

Really wish Nintendo would pursue some of these....I don't think Battle Cars has been available since the SNES days. Claymates, either.

I'm more interested in the Interplay collections so far. This Evercade is starting to really shape up for me.

@RushDawg This probably won't be the last cart they make. That or budget constraints. Namco is probably charging more than others.

The game keeps looking better.

They have actually been pretty good about supporting the Switch.

I never played the original Disgaea. I'm going to get it.

I think Sega has to acknowledge Mania was a success and that was why he said that.

I've always thought 3D Sonic's problem was the level design...the hard part really is making a race track of a level but still allowing for exploration.

Could they really be announcing more 2019 games?! This year is pretty loaded already.

One of my all-time favorites. I agree that Gamecube had the definitive version, I just wish they would port that version to Switch.

Not surprised but glad to see. The N64 was a good console, but it also marked a time for me when Nintendo's 3rd party went downhill. The library it had was good, but it was also the time for me when Mega Man left for PlayStation, along with a ton of RPG's.

The one thing I like most about the Switch is how it seems to be get so many of the games Nintendo gamers may have missed out on over the years, from the Mega Man X Collection to all of the Final Fantasy games. The Switch is almost my favorite console now, under the SNES. Give me a few of those and I may change my mind.

Missed this back in the day, but looking forward to it.

It would be a good one to port, but also Titanfall or Titanfall 2...that game never got enough attention.

@MaxlRoseGNR yeah, that's the reality...Switch is actually getting major 3rd party releases now. But Switch owners are experiencing the business practices that publishers have learned to get away with since the PS3 and XB360 era.

Akkording to people who previewed the game in handheld, the frame rate looked good and the sakrifices were in lighting, etc. Plays good but not as good looking as the trailers. I'm guessing WB doesn't want Switch komparisons on YouTube. I'd say this is a safe buy but I'd wait for a sale or an XL edition or something for me...just not that hardkore for this one...
