Calm down people, it just has become more annoying, but you can still buy by using funds from your Nintendo Network ID, just not directly from the Eshop for Wii u and 3DS, and in the West it is fine for now.
1 - Xenoblade Chronicles (Definitive specially) 2 - Zelda Majora's Mask (OG 64, 3DS version is a different game) 3 - Final Fantasy VIII 4 - Smash Ultimate 5 - Pokémon Colosseum/XD
Nevertheless, many games were groundbreaking for me in recent years, RE2 Remake, Bloodborne, Deus Ex Human Revolution, every Xenoblade game, Breath of the Wild, I don't like them more than my top 5, but for pure emotional reasons, as I play those more than my actual top 5.
That Viridian City looks like Pokémon Stadium buildings, some of it even has aspects of old official artwork, impressed by that, the rest is nice but isn't as inspired.
Waiting to see how fast he leads this studio to bankruptcy by spending all the game budgets on CG trailers and shady practices. (For those who don't remember the fiasco of Street Fighter X Tekken or the original Street Fighter V by Polygon Studios.)
Nintendo probably have a finished translation ready for quite some time and haven't released for some reason, same thing with Fire Emblem 1, that was made during the Wii U days, they could be holding it to align with future releases, or some other baffling reason.
@jump E3 never helped sales, again, is just a week of big announcements, it hurts no one and is always something to look forward, technically E3 is not needed, but I'm very glad that it happens. Also I couldn't care less for what most publishers announce, just hyped at Nintendo, curious at Sony(Now Square I guess), and laughing at Xbox.
@jump We saw how that turned out last year, horribly, way too many publishers, companies and such made individual streams without any focus, it led to a lot of nothing and disparity, E3 isn't, (And hasn't been for a long time) an event made for media outlets anymore, it is just a week where major publishers put their biggest announcements in video format, and where the world tune to see them most.
@nessisonett Future of Old School RPGs, people probably started realizing those aren't very interesting anymore, modern RPGs like Xenoblade and Dragon Quest are doing fine.
Remember the award show two years ago where he was bullied by being in the wrong section of awards, movies instead of TV shows, and replied that he would be in the Sonic movie, and everyone made fun of him saying "surely you will get an award there", how the world goes round.
@Razer Don't tell me Mr. Driller Drill Land is more of a Remake than Xenoblade, also the Game Awards elected Persona 5 Royal in some areas, which is just a upgraded version. Also, it is a different engine, it uses the Xenoblade X/2/Torna engine, which is not the same as the original.
I swear every award show just have a vendetta against Xenoblade, they literally have a Remake category, with Mr. Driller and not Definitive Edition c'mon...
I love how 80% of Geno fans don't even realize what the picture is referencing exactly and are just bothered they showed the costume, goes to show how many actually played Mario RPG.
@Grot People think the world is made of cotton candy and everything should be fine and rainbows, everything Nintendo do isn't fine but it is how a company in their position should act, they can't legally allow someone else use their copyright without authorization, or have official tournament use unauthorized software, and before someone mentions Sega and their fan games... Sega is a dying company that forgot how to make games, they either allow those fan projects or they sink.
The reason this happens is Frame Rate, Switch version can't keep 60FPS, thus if it was Kross Play Switch users would both be in a disadvantage and probably would also mess with game sync.
Wouldn't get hopes up, Bandai have been doing "anniversary" broadcasts for Tales of with actors and such for years and they almost always have nothing.
@Doktor-Mandrake Not talking about online, talking about emulating something that is available to buy right now, but doing it for free, people are giving moral excuses for playing something like Mario Odyssey in a emulator.
I love when people say it's about preservation, when it's just an excuse for them to not pay anything, playing path of radiance on dolphin is one thing, playing Odyssey on an emulator is another.
I mean, did people thought the footage was from Switch Pro? That would be worrying in case it was, the game looks fantastic for the Switch, but there is clearly drawbacks in textures and frame rate at some points, if the Pro does exists it should at least looks way better.
@fafonio The wiki says they are actually canon, Claire in Revelations 2 working for Save Earth, something established in the first CG movie Degeneration, proves their canonicity. I also like these movies, they are dumb fun, also sometimes they have cute moments between characters that usually don't meet or talk in the games.
@Clyde_Radcliffe The connection of some games are bad, the reason why it should be free is because, well, it was free until the Wii U and even in the beginning of the Switch life, they only charge for it because people will pay, for the lack of choice.
While the online is ***** and should be free, there is no way someone can complain about the value you get out of the free NES/SNES games, almost 100 at this point, even if you only like some, it is still cheaper than buying them on Virtual Console, though, not "owning" them is always a bummer.
I will not buy over the principle that... I already own these 3 games and will not buy them again... a Zelda collection on the other hand I will buy at a high price.
@smashboy2000 This, people really need to stop thinking he ever did anything remarkable to the franchise, or that he even created it, Ono has been nothing but Keiji Inafune 2.0
You guys should look up his history and work before saying anything, Ono started producing at Capcom with Fighting Jam, before that he was just sound manager, then later he did good work with IV, but from there it was downhill, everything wrong with Capcom fighting department came from him, bad decisions, cancelling games, making SFV the way it was, he did not contribute positively to the series since IV, do you know why there isn't a new darkstalkers game? Or a Capcom all star? It is all on him, finally, some sources claim he was making SFVI and it was in direction of being a disaster just like V, that looks like it was the final nail in the coffin for him.
@Heavyarms55 ESRB definition of partial nudity never implied actual nudity, it always just meant that the game exposes the whole body except something that could considered nudity. Also more importantly, this means that Dickson still smokes, so that one scene will still be a masterpiece.
@Iacobus Exactly, I don't know why someone would want to cancel a pre-order, if you are on the fence just wait for the game to release, it is not that hard.
Xenoblade Chronicles, not only game of the decade, but my favorite game of all time, it inspired and changed my life in ways that no other media, or even people did, here waiting for the remake!
So now we know that we can blame all the bad animations in poor decisions and directions, the director and producer should really change for the next game.
The surprising part is people expecting physical release of a Remastered PS1 Game, why would that happen? Also, I'm just happy the Remaster exists in the first place, one of my favorite games of all times.
Really thought it would be more at this point, considering how many people ask for this guy to be everywhere, especially Smash, over other franchises that sold way more, really goes to show that just because people are vocal, it doesn't mean they are the majority.
The last Direct was not even 2 months ago, if there is a Direct it will be either a Smash or Animal Crossing one, you guys have to realize Nintendo doesn't unlimited things to show and that 2 months of development is not that much.
@johnvboy Look at a 3DS Kirby game, then look at Star Allies, then look at Sun/Moon, and then at Sword/Shield, they both didn't change much, but one at least evolved Graphically enough.
As a fan since Yellow, I'm very dissapointed, it looks like another 3DS game, but in HD, they had the chance to redo battle animations, models, do something more akin to Xenoblade with the overworld and change the formula, but instead they went safe and did everything samie again, I'm sad to say that the Colosseum/XD/Battle Revolution games still looks better than the main games on a HD console...
Jokes aside, it is pretty common to anime/cartoon characters in non 18+ media to appear naked without stuff in that region, it is not that it isn't there, it is just that is not supposed to be shown/drawn.
