It's a shame that my favorite Nintendo Website has such a different taste then me of what's good and what's bad. Nonetheless a nice compilation of games!
Folders and the option to switch the default view to "all games". No themes, no chat, no music, nothing. Just the two things above. (A shop rework couldn't hurt - but that's two different things.)
If the price is ok and it works well (let's see a review or two, three... before buying it) it'a a must have for me.
But wait... wasn't there a FPGA based thingy around the corner? I forgot the name...
Edit: Ups - there is a link to it in the article.
I don't get the hype about this game. All I did the first 10 hours or so was walking around, talking to people, doing class schedules and other boring stuff.
If you want strategy: Better play Tiny Metal or similar.
If you want JRPG: Better play Xenoblade.
As I said: Completely over-hyped in my opinion.
Was in when reading "turn based combat" was out when seeing nearly no gameplay in the trailer, was in when seeing the screenshots, was out at the price tag,... And now...?!?
@aaronsullivan That's what I wanted to hear. I'm OK with expansions but I have already a CCG (Gems of War) which drains my money.
That said I'm looking forward, too. Looks very promising!
Why the hype for a game that needs (nobody knows how much) patches to run satisfying? This game was rushed out on Switch and does not deserve this hype until it's programming is finished. Just my 2 cents.
A bit of an offtopic question, but I'll try: If there's a 2nd Nintendo console and I'd buy it: Would I be able to play my games on both of them since the console is account-bound? If I would have to decide between Switch Mini OR (normal) Switch I would have exactly NO reason to buy a Mini...
@Blizzia "You see, in my country it's mandatory to have everything regarding Germany's 20th century (and a few outliers from the 19th) drilled into your head from your first history lesson until and including your journey through University" If you're so well educated in history and our education system you know exactly that this just isn't true. Nazi time is on our education plan, yes. For reasons. But "drilled in our head" isn't near at the truth.
I loved the asynchronous Multiplayer mode the game has on PC when I played it back then. Sad that they cut it, but I think I'll buy it anyway because I really had a lot of fun with it on PC.
Seems a good fit for switch with touch controls.
I played it on PC some time ago.
It's much more taktical battles and less strategic. See it more as a modern Battle Isle.
I had much fun with it. Especially with the asynchronous Multiplayer mode while I don't know if this one will make it's way to the Switch.
I'm very curious about it!
No save to SD, no folders, no "update all software"-option, no sorting the games in the order I want - just by categories... For a feature update (not only a "more stability" one) it's pretty disappointing...
As a fan of Puzzle Quest (arguably the best match3-game in my eyes) I tried out Gems of War yesterday evening for 4 to 5 hours.
As far as I can tell (playing it only this short time) there's a good and a bad:
The Good: In nearly every point it feels as an even more polished and well-defined game as it's predecessor. Addictive gameplay!
The Bad: It's free to play but if you want to have any good options for the fights ingame then you have to make a step into the microtransactions-hell.
It's like [put in any CCG of your choice here]. I was willing to buy the two "starter packs" for 25€ in total (because of Puzzle Quest) but it was easy to see that this is just the very beginning if you really want to get in the game.
In opposite of some others here I highly appreciate the card system and don't need a story. I was always one of the game mechanics over story side of a gamer. This is a no-brainer for me. I suggested it coming out much later this year. Now I can't wait!
If they give us a "Switch Low" capable of playing 3DS games and a "Switch Pro" with better resolution, better battery and Bluetooth Headset support I'll most probably buy both of them...
Edit: Well - account linking will be a problem I think...

Re: Hands On: Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore Could Give The Game The Second Chance It Deserves
Is the focus more on strategy or more on RPG (like Fire Emblem)?
I think FE miserably failed on the strategy part - that's why I ask.
