My first Fire Emblem game and loving it. It made me curious how the other games are like. I hope to seek them out in the future.

Dunsparce better be in!

@KingMike Yes, I'll take nothing over mediocrity. But if someone else enjoys the games, I'm happy for them!

They shouldn’t have bothered to release anything.

@Trajan But it would lessen, I think, the rate of such atrocities. If people were more educated, they wouldn't so readily believe a fascist's racist ideologies. By having the knowledge, for instance, that this approach had been utilized in the past that led to disastrous consequences, people would be more equipped to recognize and fight against bigotry and discrimination.

But you are correct in pointing to the fact that corruption is a problem, if not the biggest. We need to get money out politics. Maybe then our representatives would actually represent us, the people, rather than those who line their pockets.

@ALinkttPresent I'm with you. We can do so much more to provide better access to education here in America. Based on the number of atrocities happening in the country right now, it is desperately needed for the sake of future generations. I don't get why you're getting thumbs down.

Proud UCI Alumni. Zot Zot!

Gotta farm those Gold Bottle Caps!

I enjoyed the quirky battle mechanics, but I never finished the game. I’m happy to double dip.

I wish the commercial conveyed the spirit of Pokémon a bit better. Where’s the sense of wonder?

@Chozo That would’ve made the whole video! 😂

Less intention, more action.

It would have been nice to have a hot pink option. Not even kidding! Or dark green.

Can we dye them using berries at the Festival Plaza?

@Berzerker Exactly. They sacrificed the most important feature of the Switch: the ability to connect to the TV.

But having said that, I understand that for many people, $100 makes all the difference.

I’m not in love with it. I’m not even sure if I like it. It’s just 🤷🏻‍♂️.

@RupeeClock I got that impression, too. I wish they would look into dark fairy tales. Not necessarily make them look monstrous (although that would be great)... just more inspired.

Somehow the more they reveal, the more underwhelmed I become. At least it seems that Farfetch'd will have an evolution based on the now increasingly convincing 4Chan leak.

Question: Can we cut off corpses’ faces and wear them as masks? 🥴

@Xelha He was good in "Mission: Impossible - Fallout."

uses Frustration
it's not very effective...

@Kidfunkadelic83 I'm excited for it. I wasn't interested at first, but the more they showed it, the more fun it looked. I'm in it to play other people's levels mostly, but I'm willing to learn how to design levels myself.

This will be my first Mario Maker game. 🤩

No, thank you. resumes with life

We need one in the San Francisco Bay Area.

@Anti-Matter But the thing is, not everyone will like the same Pokémon as you. You may like the cute or pretty ones, but I prefer the ugly and weird-looking ones. And that’s okay.

But you know what’s great? That we are given the option to play with any and all Pokémon, however cute or ugly or strange, should we have PokeTransfer and/or PokeBank.

The point is, we have less options in the pool now. Less diversity. And that’s a negative from the consumer point of view.

Ever since that Treehouse, there hasn’t been one day when I didn’t think about, however brief, being unable to transfer any Pokémon I wanted into Sword and Shield, Pokemon’s first proper console game. As an OG Blue and Red player, that news was (and still is) extremely disappointing. My hype level went from an 11 to about a 2.

I hope that Game Freak not only notices but actually considers this massive backlash. I, too, hope they learn from it and make the necessary changes to make it right.

The fans, from casual to veteran players, got them to where they are. So, to me, GF’s decisions from here onwards are going to be telling of how much they respect the community that made them into a multi-billion-dollar brand.

Conundrum: I want some of these games, but my backlog is already so long.

I don’t mean to be a contrarian, but I didn’t mind the leveling system. I actually like it when, despite your level, random enemies could still kill you—especially that underground place where you fight the Ultimate Weapon. You are forced to be on your toes.

Are they being serious? I'd rather buy a 2nd Switch.

I did mind it. During the Direct, although I must admit that the story sounded more interesting, a part of me felt that I would’ve preferred to have discovered it for myself.

@Ludovsky Thanks for the reply. Yes, if this is, in fact, true then I do hope that somewhere down the line, all of the 'mons from past generation would be transferable. I'm sure everybody would love to see their favorite Pokemon on the big screen.

I heard there was an issue with the translation?

Can anyone confirm?

If this is truly the case, what a disappointment. Especially since it is the first time a mainline Pokemon game is appearing on a console.

I keep restarting 5. I play for about 5 hours then get distracted by other games. By the time I get back to it, I forget all the mechanics!

...I'll play it... one day...

@Vee_Flames Medical school can wait! =p

Yoshi on a skateboard!

1. A proper voice chat.
2. Non-NES games for Nintendo Switch Online.
3. A better look/shopping experience for the e-shop.

Unrealistic, I know. 🤞🤞

@Bunkerneath Sorry, what you posted is factually incorrect. Players can use Rinoa during the final battle.

3 characters will be chosen at random. But it doesn’t mean Rinoa cannot be used.

It’s all the more important then that each character is prepared.

@Dragonilm Actually, there is an ability that one of the GFs, Diablo, could learn that halves the encounter rate or eliminate it altogether.

As for the magic-stat situation, yes, if that magic is junctioned and you use it, that particular stat where the magic is junctioned decreases. You just draw that particular magic again from specific enemies. So I would say, from that standpoint, the stat change is not permanent.

Late game, though, assuming that one has a solid understanding of the junction system and one has done the necessary weapon upgrades, one must learn not to rely on using magic and summoning GFs to cripple or defeat enemies. (Although Doomtrain is excellent for causing status effects like Meltdown which turns enemy vitality to 0.) Limit breaks are preferred.

It sounds like you didn’t get accustomed to the finer mechanics of the game. Which is cool. Your points could be important to players about to play the game for the first time.

However, my point is that FFVIII is not as much of a mess as some people claim for it to be. In fact, an argument can be made that the game mechanic is actually well thought out.

I just 100% FFVIII on the Vita....

And I can’t wait to do it all over again on the Switch! 😍😍😍

Next: Switch ports of FFIV, FFV, and FFVI please. 🙏

Although BotW-inspired, I'm just not excited. Maybe it's the generic look of it. But I'm hoping it gets better later on.

Crossing my fingers for Final Fantasy IV, V, and VI to be ported onto the Switch.

Oh no! I'm going to be in Honolulu. -_____-

This game is not for me. But I love that this exists on the Switch. lol

Can we get fat Inklings and Octolings?

There’s other RPGs to play on the Switch. And some great ones, already confirmed, have yet to be released.

The Switch is so successful now, Switch users shouldn’t have to beg for anything. If the game comes, then it does. If it doesn’t, then that’s that. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Seeing Leon’s design made me feel uncomfortable. I like Hop’s design, though.

Is there voice acting? Where were the text boxes?

I liked the Direct; it’s good appetizer for what’s about to come. Hoping we get even more information during E3.

Beautiful! I'd pay to see actual skeletal figures in a museum.

I've been waiting for Enter the Gungeon to get back to 50% off.

I'll buy it after work and gym.

@Anti-Matter By all means., play it. Just wanted to express that, for me, it was too repetitive and dull for a JRPG, especially for a group of characters designed with quite a bit of charm. Would like to know your thoughts after you play it.
