I'm digging up my old Game Boy Advance SP and copy of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance to get ready for The Ivalice Chronicles releasing later this month. I'm so excited to play FFTactics on the Switch 2!
Just spent almost an hour roaming through Hyrule in Tears of the Kingdom. Speaking to a traveler tipped me off to another cherry blossom tree at the top of the mountain; I climbed my way up and offered a golden apple to the blessed Satori (or should I say Satoru), who then directed me to about 4 more caves. However, I think I need to pull out the guidebook again to help direct me, since I could spend hundreds of hours in such a massive world without accomplishing very much!
I'm trying to complete TOTK before moving on fully to other games on Switch 2, but it's very tempting to dip my toes into Hogwarts Legacy every now and then. I just made it to Hogsmeade, and I'm utterly enchanted. For years I listened to all of the Hogwarts Legacy ambience playlists on Youtube since I'm such a fan of HP music. Finally experiencing the game on my platform of choice is a treat.
Definitely more of a Megaman + Monster Hunter + Okami Capcom fan. But this is a great sign of things to come for Capcom's future big titles! Very excited to see Okami 2, Monster Hunter, and hopefully a brand new Megaman on Switch 2. Would love to see a brand new Megaman Legends with a similar art style to MHStories 3.
Sucks that Guardians of Azuma has the world and art style within which that I want to play Fantasy Life's gameplay and multiplayer. But this is a great reminder to buy RF:GoA soon! Another great one is their Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin collaboration.
@Narrator1 Chi-Yu is the last one, and all four Treasure Raid shiny's will only be available until September 30th. So make sure to boot up your game and download them before you forget!
@SpaceboyScreams Hard disagree. Legends ZA has not seemed "blatantly incomplete"; the latest footage appears remarkably polished, both with the graphics and performance. Seems irrational to continue hating on Pokemon when the vitriol is unwarranted.
This will be my first Warriors game! I have a feeling I might be tempted to try out the original Hyrule Warriors after playing this. Also that Dynasty Warriors Origins trailer looked pretty good... Might become a problem...
Please do a third-party collaborative release with Square Enix next, Nintendo!! Putting Final Fantasy on NSO would be a great way to let Nintendo fans dip their toes into the franchise, almost like a demo, with the intent of garnering interest for their current releases, like FF7R.
YESS GBA updates!! My favorite platform and graphics style. The colors, the unique pixel art, it's so special. Great additions! I'm already mourning their eventual expiration on NSO, but how nice to see great third-party games added! And goodness if that Mr Driller 2 song featured in the trailer isn't a total ear worm! Moments like this is when I really wish they would add third-party albums to Nintendo Music.
@MeloMan Perhaps the construct Link is imbued with the soul of the Ancient Hero, which is the OG Link from even farther into the past than the Imprisoning War IIRC. Link himself is a perpetual reincarnation of the Ancient Hero, so it's not a big deal to me whichever kind of "Link" they go with in the end. But I do think it would be more interesting if they took this opportunity to give us a proper depiction of the Ancient Hero.
New trailer just uploaded to YouTube! Shows a bit of the Ancient Hero's gameplay and it looks amazing!
Crazy how this latest trailer showing the Ancient Hero soaring through the sky and weaving around the Gleeok instantly makes me go from "probably will get it" to "Take my money!!"
Love seeing stellar soundtracks added to Nintendo Music! Fingers crossed we get some more Animal Crossing soundtracks uploaded once they rev up marketing for the next AC game.
Definitely: FF7R, MHStories 3, Fire Emblem, Age of Imprisonment, Yoshi's Mysterious Book, Metroid Prime 4, Pokemon Legends ZA
Probably: Pokemon Pokopia, Mario Galaxy 2
Open-minded: Mario Tennis Fever, Kirby Air Riders, Dragon Quest VIIR, Dragon Quest I+II, Disgea 7
All things considered it was a pretty great lineup of games! Still a lot of great games to sink my teeth into while we wait for the next big 3D Mario/Zelda, Animal Crossing, Splatoon, 3D Kirby, the next big Monster Hunter release, etc.
Thankfully I have 3D All-Stars so I don't feel tempted by the bundle. I'll probably still buy Galaxy 2, but I might wait for a sale down to $29.99. Hopefully they coincide the movie promotion with a Mario Day sale, like they did during the first movie.
However, I can't be alone in feeling like watching the Super Mario Galaxy Movie hype followed by the Galaxy 1+2 reveal really made me hope for an amazing Galaxy 3 reveal trailer! That would have been so fun, and I felt pretty disappointed that the 40th anniversary coverage and the Galaxy theme did not coincide with a grand Galaxy 3 reveal.
Agree that I would have much preferred a ship flying segment over any sort of bike-riding open areas. Would much rather stitch each of the on-foot entranceways together and snip out all the open spaces. However, I also have been looking forward to MP4 all these years like many Metroid fans; I'm still willing to buy it on day 1 and give it a solid go.
I've been searching online for the Atelier game with the coziest villages to visit (out of the latest games released: Ryza 1-3, Sophie 2, Yumia, etc) but it seems to be a difficult question for elementary google searches to answer. Would anyone be able to enlighten me? I'm looking for the cutest buildings and the nicest music.
Woww that clip really sent me. Laughed out loud from sheer cringe! I agree with @PinderSchloss that the character was framed as humoring him in spite of one of the most unappealing requests imaginable.

Re: Nintendo Museum Introduces "Limited-Time" Mario Bros. 40th Anniversary Ticket
Sounds like a great time to make the trek! The 40th ticket would be a nice memento to keep on your shelf after coming back home.

Re: Nintendo Music "Special Release" Adds Tracks From Donkey Kong Bananza Today
Upping the ante with the drip feed I see! I wonder how long it will take for Nintendo to add Switch 2 as an official section on the app.
Re: Why Remake 'Dragon Quest VII' Before The Zenithian Trilogy? Yuji Horii Comments
I must be in the tiny minority, but I genuinely want DQX ported to the West as the original MMO, not the single player remake.

My relative will be super into the latest Trails game, but I'm more of a Final Fantasy guy. Only game in September for me is FFTactics!
