Fortnite should be up there but....there are long spans of the game where you're just running thru the environment, not fighting...maybe screwing off a little.

lol now I'm being told "it's not in session" is giving me a timeframe and it is my current time - what a joke

@Sunsy Might be a beta but this is supposed to come out in June.

@Nalverus can't even get that far

error error, no error but restarts, error error - waits on static screen, connecting error, restarts but no error - connecting, error error error - connecting, error error error ....

I've pretty much given up on Japanese developers to create anything competent that runs online. Why even do it if you're going to be that stubborn and refuse to look into other devs modern netcode?

A big problem with this game was when it was released. In 2018 the Switch releases were kinda...tepid, except every month was game packed with amazing 2d platformers and 2d action games. Celeste, Flinthook, Dead Cells, The Messenger, etc. Most everyone gourged themselves on fun and more importantly INNOVATIVE new 2d games. 2019 rolls around and the first 3 big releases from Nintendo are 2D style platformers. Mario U in Jan, Yoshi in March and then Mario Maker 2. Couple that with all the great collections, Mega Man, Genesis, NSO games...and by the time Mario Maker 2 came out...I just wasn't hungry for it. I could have been if it had brought something new to table, World Maker at launch, all the amiibo costumes, an additional game mode, etc. I think a lot of us, back during the WiiU, squeezed a A LOT out of the original release and this just didn't do much.

@Wargoose yeah I stopped playing Smash because of it. I'm not in college with a dorm full of people.

@BarryDunneIGS He's been awful about how he handled Kickstarter. He's a professional game maker. Quit making excuses for him.

@Wargoose there's literally rollback that's open source now too - but most Japanese developers refuse to use it because it wasn't "made by them." There's an actual Japanese term for what I said in quotes.

@Coalescence "Outside of multiplayer it doesn't bring anything hugely different." Uhhh...multiplayer is a HUGE DEAL for a Tetris game. That alone makes this version superior, nevermind it having a better algorithm too. It's like comparing an imaginary version of Mario Kart that has only a single player mode to multiplayer. Almost doesn't even matter if one version looks a little better.

Glad I got a refund for this...IT STILL ISN'T OUT? Juuls is a real piece of work, I'll tell ya.

Why does it depend on the sales of the Sonic Ages titles? I've owned those so many times AND on the Genesis Collection on Switch...I know Ages has new futures but....eh. Now a never before available classic era Sonic game? Buy it in a second. Sega sucks.

Don't need it unless they have a very very very good idea for it, outside of "money." I'd take a remaster of the remaster though.

@JaxonH I actually loved the demo, though I thought some of the story scenes were a bit long and too clustered. If you're gonna give us that much story, that early on, you really need to actually animate a bunch of it. That said, the combat system in it, how much your physical positioning matters, felt a little like a tactics games crossed with a modern RPG...really loved the potential there and it tickled my brain perfectly. Also as with YS8, sure maybe none of the character designs standout, but they all look nice and the personalities and dialog are solid and a bit above average in the charm department. This will fit the YS8 hole nicely. Really loved that game despite how headache inducing the shimmering in that one could get. The Trials of Mana demo on the other hand....I was pretty disappointed by it. Was kind of...boring. Felt a bit budgety too. I still have it preordered because I like the art direction, but I dunno. Personally can't do Bravely because I have no patience for constant random encounters. I tried with Octopath Traveller, but after 30-ish hours dropped it. Xenoblade looks great, and is preordered, but...as long as the systems aren't so numerous and dense (dense doesn't actually mean something is "deep" either) as XBC2, I think I'll dig that.

@feder Really? I thought it ran smooth, just has that Falcom standard awful edges in spots and slight shimmering. Actually liked how the combat system feels slightly like a tactics game in how the physical position of your characters effects the fight.

@Zimon The demo made it feel like there was history but it was a new era in the life of the main character, kind of like a YS game does. You were a student for the past games and are now a teacher. Didn't feel too off putting.

Do not understand how this ratings board cannot remotely do this. Not being spoiled either, as if it was a "shipping isn't feasible", I wouldn't make a peep. What am I missing here? They don't even review physical copies anymore. Is it that publishers are worried about game leaks, if people are reviewing from home?

None of my amiibo work. Keeps saying theu won't talk to me. I'm not talking about NPCs that are already in the game. Lottie Kapp'n, and a couple others. Feel ripped off.

@nkarafo If BotW is that easy to successfully copy then Nintendo needs to try harder. If this game is great, then we have another great game. All that matters.

@Paraka I understood exactly what you meant by here I am...but I think maybe I got your tone wrong. "And here I am"...at least in midwest US, can be like...there's a bit of sarcasm to it. To the tone. Not so much that you are being sarcastic in the facts you're giving, but sort of patronizing in a manner of "pffff everything has probs with delivery service these days, quit whining about this issue." Like, "OH AND HERE I AM having issues with this other thing, like ya'll don't have issues with said thing as well." Apologies...I THINK, lol. Yeah, you unpacked what you meant well. Sorry! But I think that other person took it that as well?

@Paraka Just saying, in that initial post of yours for an example, provide context. Otherwise it comes across as you just being contrarian. I have had an issue or two with them myself, one example with late late late shipping for Bayonetta 1 and 2 in 2018, before I had Prime. "do to this a hotly requested item, there is a delay in our ability to send it to you" even though I had preordered it months prior.

Not news. Just like those Gamestop preorder holdings. Create some actual content to post and not this crap that lets people down in the long run.

@Paraka you gave no context and posted one of those all too typical "weeeell myyyyy contrarian point of view has a vaguely referenced issue to back it up." People are sick of those kinds of posts in general. Literally saying nothing. Next time take 2 seconds to write, "and yet I'm having more issues with Amazon! Recently they lost my [...] and are being no great help." Literally all you have to say.

@quinnyboy58 I think it's new enough tgat we are now getting another "game" essentially from Platinum. I would direct your comment to the Boulder Dash review as pointless posting filler.

@zool Monastery doesn't detract at all from the core tactics gameplay. IN FACT, if you skip all the monastery stuff (which you can) you could actually increase the challenge of the game for yourself. You obviously based that opinion off what you heard from other like minded people online who wanted a PURE old FE game and never played it. Do yourself a favor, buy it and have an absolute blast with it.

@zool Looking back they'll see Three Houses as the game that laid the new framework of what was to come next, taking thoughful steps toward evolving the series in a way that Pokemon shrugs aside. Warts and all Three Houses is an imperfect game that strives for so much, and hits so many highs, that it is easily my fav Switch game even tho something like BotW or Odessesy has way more polish and fine tuning.

@Dezzy how is "good sales" rigging the poll? Even speaking in terms of availability most voting here are FE fans and are not the general game fan public. Anyway if "sales" rigged the polls then surely FE Heroes would be number right? FE Warriors also sold more than Valencia and that's not reflected. "Hardcore" FE fans are so toxic toward people liking the latter day releases that actually made the series permanently popular. What a ridiculous comment.

Won't shut up? It's not auto-motion activated...it's done by pressing in parts of him. Another deceptive Nintendo Life headline to get you to click (implies a funny video of an annoying Mario toy just going off and rambling as people pass by, like those you see in a drugstore).

Also, what's up Mario overalls going up to his chin? WHO APPROVES THIS STUFF?!

Nintendo was behind as it was (Animal Crossing was supposed to be out last year) and with the coronavirus...I don't think we get a Direct until e3. We'll get single game "Directs" if that before then. Xenoblade will have to be late June, then they announce a port for Sept (Metroid Prime), Bayonetta 3 for Oct then something else for November. I doubted Travis or BotW 2 comes out this year, but I bet they are now throwing whatever extra support they can to launch BotW in Nov and seeing if they could assist Suda so the game comes out this year for sure. Also will guess the Ps5 gets delayed to spring 2021.

@boxyguy given how mucj time on the road someone like her spends it makes sense

Appreciated. Some of ypur preview images have looked substantially worse than the games, even factoring compression and data loss that happens when uploading to web. Now if only Switch could improve it's video capture feature. Looks awful, should be able to handle DMC1 but can't.

@Kawaiipikachu That or "we are 1 step ahead of (by being 1 letter before) IBM." H < I, A < B, L < M

@RennanNT I literally read the article twice and somehow did not see it. GONNA delete that post.

@ShadJV They can be held responsible, cuz technically that's all youtube is, user generated content that Youtube is responible for because it is hosting it. Sure a lot of parody or commentary stuff can stay up (but there are rules to it), but other vids that seem to pull from IP source material too liberally can get pulled or striked.

@roboshort It just came out. The reason there are even games there in the first place of any decent substance is because of the beta.

@Kitchener Just get it or don't. It's the best thing on Switch anyway.

@KoopaTheGamer the combat is good but the actual movement outside of it is kind of "fights you for no good reason." Like Geralt feels as if I'm telekinetically puppeting a big beefy man rather than like I'm playing AS him.

@sixrings Yeah it looks really bad from the eshop screenshots. Sometimes they aren't totally accurate. I mean it literally looks like a garbage effort was made here IF and only IF those screenshots are accurate.

The screenshots here (pulled from the eshop) make this port look like garbage visually. I HOPE that isn't the case. Interested in this, but not full price for what I'm seeing there.

@KingBowser86 No it's the actual pad. It's not the worst, but it happens. You can force it to do it to prove it isn't some kind of input lag.

This game, for what it is, as a visual novel style game DESERVES a score this high. It's really good.

@Yorumi My 8bitdo Pro + sometimes misreads the up and down. I do not understand why so many dpads this generation have that problem or similar.

Also not sure why this article was reposted, you're saying zero new in the update part of it. Clickbait? Must be, literally are saying nothing new.

God...I hope we all make it to the release of this game. Feelin' like I'm going to need to escape into it...from the way the world is heading right now.

Looks awful. Choppy, bland and that special brand of annoying slow to traverse.

@Knives099 oooohhh that's smart bud. Donkey Kong has tires all over the place.

Looks dope. Down for this.

@BarefootBowser Please try to make that voice heard. Lol call them or post on their youtube videos. Tweet them. Anything. I'm personally so tired of the caveats that I KNOW there will be one big THING for ever new game now that's weird, or "thrifty" feeling. Even their hardware. Their dang controllers and stuff keep just wearing out on me.

Hey Nintendo Life...thank you. Absolutely great article. "'ah, Nintendo gonna Nintendo' into something that's consumer-unfriendly and, ultimately, damaging to the company's business" We're seeing that all across the board too. This isn't even a competitive game by the way...and the data management is even more strict than Splatoon 2?

@LittleZ *clap *clap - well said man

@hadrian Because it's the THRIFTIEST place to get animation done, and these days Nintendo is all about that.
