Well deserved, been loving this so far. Between Grand Bazaar, Guardians of Azuma, and Fields of Mistria, we're in a real golden age of farming sims right now
Would've been fun if the game supported the Terry amiibo too, since he's playable. Gonna pick up the Kim amiibo. I'm probably not getting the game again on Switch, since playing a six button fighter on a four face button controller sounds like a horrible time, but I'm happy more people will be playing this stellar game!
EDIT: First sentence isn't true, it's mentioned. Whoops!
I take it the game runs well on switch, then, since nothing about performance was mentioned?
I always loved the roleplaying aspect of the Dynasty Warriors Empires subseries, so if this is anything like that I'll probably pick it up.
@Daniel36 Had to go out of my way to grab an APK just to play this. I know it's really for our own good that gambling gets treated exactly like what it is, but it still does make me feel like Squidward looking out the window at Spongebob and Patrick playing outside lol
While I agree with everyone else here that stuff like the lower base price and discounts likely play a huge factor in this, I can't imagine most general consumers (AKA not Zelda fans, who have all already bought both of these games) would even be aware that one is the sequel to the other. Most people who aren't chronically online just simply don't think about that kind of stuff.
Sometimes a crossover happens that combines two of your favourite things ever (Layton vs Phoenix Wright and Hyrule Warriors are some earlier examples for me) and this is another one of those. Can't wait to try it out!
The whole thing where your maximum amount of people per household increases with resources you provide, and then eventually upgrade households to higher levels where they have different requirements sounds exactly like how things work in the Anno series. If you have a PC and want more like this game after finishing it, I wholeheartedly recommend Anno 1800.
I bought the first game a couple weeks ago, and I've been enjoying it a lot. Yeah it's easy and simple, but it's just nice. I dunno, I guess don't need every game I play to be a 11/10 masterpiece that makes you rethink everything you've ever known and transcends you to the next plane of existence. Sometimes I just want a cute "saturday morning cartoon" vibe of game, and it sounds like this sequel will be pretty much exactly that again.
I got Disgaea 5 at release because I always liked the look of this series and there wasn't a ton available on Switch at the time, but I very quickly ran into the issue where I couldn't really figure out how to get better at the game because of just how much stats there were to keep track of. Like if I lost a battle I couldn't even figure out what I should do to improve except "raise character levels".
It's nice to hear that the campaign is relatively easy but I'm worried that in the postgame I will once again look at each character's eight tabs of stats/skills/abilities and wonder what would be the the smart thing to improve next.
Gotta say that with this, Rune Factory 5 and the A Wonderful Life remake, I'm happy that we're getting full 3D farming sims again. I know that top-down games like Friends of Mineral Town and Stardew Valley are the big favourites, but I've always preferred this style.
Looking at this video, you'd better believe that I'm going to spend like 20% of my playtime doing the objectives and the rest just going on virtual tourism
Would you say that easy mode is low difficulty enough to get through if you can get through a Three Houses campaign on Normal? I'd rather not buy a game if I can't make it to the end hah!
"The "include people searching for Legendary and Mythical Pokémon" option has been updated to "Include people searching for Legendary, Mythical and other special Pokémon."" If this means they filter out people asking for Kubfu and its evolution that will significantly clean up trade results. Probably not though.
Man I'm so excited to see a true mainline Pokémon adventure on a home console. Something I've wanted to see ever since I fell in love with Pokémon Silver back in the day. I have so many great memories with Pokémon over the years, especially back then during Pokémania haha. Now I have to finish Luigi's Mansion 3 first before SwSh releases!
OPPW3 is the best musou game, and Fire Emblem Warriors is also much improved over Hyrule Warriors. Anyone who says HW is the best musou game either really likes the roster or has only played HW haha.
But yeah you can bet I'm looking forward to this! (Also please a new Gundam Musou!)
The day Nintendo gets taken over by, I dunno, Tencent or whatever and turns into yet another AAA "shove microtransactions into €70 games and screw quality because we got all the money to make" company I'm quitting gaming
@HailKaiba I'm hoping they're waiting until episode 9 so that they can bundle both movies in one game. Episode 7 having one game for itself was pretty neat, but you could also tell they were really scraping the bottom of the barrel for levels.
I always thought it was bad form to put a bunch of new information in the conclusion of an article. Well, I guess I'm not the journalist here. This looks great, hopefully the difficulty isn't too high.
I'll get MHGU at some point, and I'll get de Blob 2 when I've finished the first one. I'm surprised that Battle Chef Brigade didn't get a discount just like it got on Steam alongside the new big update.
I feel like this franchise, with its substories and side activities like running a business and playing arcade games or bowling and whatnot, would be a good fit for handheld gaming.

Absolutely not to be confused with Crow Country

Currently playing this on PC and yeah, the screenshots really don't do the animations and the voice acting justice!

I'm sure that people who hate Origami King will be very normal about this

Re: Stars Wars: Hunters Brings Free-To-Play PVP Action To Switch This June, Preload Now Live
Not sure if launching a live service game at this point is a good idea, but I wish all the best to the devs
Re: LEGO Fortnite Is Under Fire For Brand New 'Kits'
I'm not sure what people were expecting? Teams of people who need to get paid a salary working on a free game without any advertisements forever?
The high prices and lack of updates to keep the game fresh, okay I'll give you that, but this was always going to happen.

Well I'm definitely interested in purchasing the soundtrack now at least!

Re: Theatrhythm Final Bar Line Scores Octopath Traveler DLC Update
Possibly my favourite soundtrack of the decade. The only complaint I have is that five tracks is nowhere near enough!
Re: New Harvest Moon: The Winds Of Anthos Trailer Gives First Look At Gameplay Footage

Re: Video: Captain Tsubasa: Rise Of New Champions Online Modes Revealed In New Trailer
Poor Level-5 took so long with developing Inazuma Eleven for Switch than Bandai Namco swoops in with their own rad-looking anime football game
Re: Review: Coffee Talk - A Refreshing Brew Indeed
@twadebarcelona It looks like something wasn't accurate in the PEGI rating, requiring the game to be taken off the eShop while they adjust it.
Re: Poll: How Do You Pronounce These Pokémon-Related Words?
I always figured Arceus was a combination of Arcane and Deus (like the god) so it was easy enough to figure out how to pronounce it.
Looking at the results, it was only easy enough for me haha

spits out drink That's detective Grimoire! I was wondering if that game was ever going to get a sequel!
Welp, guess I'm getting this day one, haha
Re: One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 Sails Onto Nintendo Switch Next Year

Alright captain, tone it down with the profanity. We get tired of censoring it all with high-pitched screeching!
Re: Video: Assassin's Creed Odyssey Contains An Adorable Nintendo Easter Egg
Reminds me of the Mario joke in AC2. Guess there are some big Nintendo fans in Ubisoft's AC development studio(s)!
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th September (Europe)

A new Jake Hunter game? That's... out of nowhere. Will there be a review for this?

Physical Warriors Orochi 4 for me!

Re: Nintendo Download: 30th August (Europe)
I'll get MHGU at some point, and I'll get de Blob 2 when I've finished the first one.
I'm surprised that Battle Chef Brigade didn't get a discount just like it got on Steam alongside the new big update.
Re: Nintendo Enforces Takedown Of Fan-Made Game Creator Pokémon Essentials
I always liked the term 'takedown notice'. Like as if one of these fans one day suddenly gets suplexed by Reggie.
