Didn’t even know the sale of Activision had gone through.

3 months ago if you told me Level-5 were coming back with a new Prof Layton & Fantasy Life game for the west I would’ve been over the moon. On top of this we’re getting a new IP and maybe a new Inazuma 11 game (I had Inazuma 11 Go Shadow for the 3DS and it rocked) Level-5 were the highlight of the direct for me. With all this I’m still a little salty as I want Yo-Kai Watch 4 more than any other game. I’ve logged over 800 hours in Yo-Kai Watch 3.

@MontyCircus Yeh I’m getting it. Looks good enough for me especially as I haven’t got the first instalment

IGN only gave it a 7. It’s currently sitting at a metacritic score of 84 for the Switch version

Pokemon fans will lap this up. No-brainer at this price.

Hope it has a physical release without a day one patch rendering the cart worthless. This looks great though.

The $70 price tag is therefore easier to digest if it’s all on the cart as it would not fit on a 16GB cart. If however there’s a day one download of 2GB or more and they’re using a 16GB cart then imo it’s a cash grab

I don’t get why each game is double the price of Persona 4 Golden

It’s a good game with plenty of content but the glitches, pop-in and crashes is a disgrace from a full priced game selling over 10 million copies. The revenue for Scarlet/Violet will exceed half a billion dollars (do the math) and they release it in a shocking state. Just plain greedy. Budget indie games run better

Do we need a sequel? No. Does Marvel need another movie/franchise? No. Let’s face it all the Marvel movies are the same film but different costume. However if it’s entertaining I’m happy to watch Detective Pikachu 2

Feb & March look decent but at this stage April is as empty and barren as the Sahara Desert. Hopefully that February Direct is real and rectifies this

I think Nintendolife should make mention of the very large download size of over 26GB for this game as this will have an impact on people like myself buying it as it’s digital only.

This is crazy. I seriously would’ve purchased nearly half the list

@DrkBndr Ok didn’t know that

@holnugget My sealed box had a download code but NO cart. It literally is a code in a box

My “physical” copy of Ark for the Switch is a BS code-in-a-box.

I put off buying Stardew Valley for so long because the pixel art graphics suck however after buying it I sunk over 100 hours into that game even though I still hate the graphics.

I hate breakable weapons. And electrical storms constantly destroying your weapons was over the top, stupid, annoying, unrealistic, unfair and just NOT FUN

I just want to know when this is going to be free.

Looking forward to this. Would really like the steelbook edition but looks like my chances of getting that in Australia are slim

You didn’t list 2 of the main pros for each. Pro for digital is that you can load game instantly without swapping disks or cartridges. Pro for physical is that you can sell it later

They say they are taking on new challenges. How about the challenge of bringing Yokai Watch 4 to the west considering they promised they would be doing just that at the Anime Expo in 2019.

Not buying P3P. I’ll buy P4G if it’s the same price as P4U but if it’s full price like P5R then I’ll pass.

What is the point of code in a box? We have an e-shop. It’s as useful as a solar powered torch or an appendix transplant. It’s just a complete waste of plastic. Am I missing something here?

Thanks for posting this article as I had no idea. I own this game so it’s nice to be informed on what’s going on with these companies good or bad.

@Rosona Your calculations are wrong It’s 23399 not 23999 so with the OG and lite Switch sales total 38634. PS5 sold 34287 + 4579 for PS5 digital = 38866. So you have incorrected the article. It was close but PS5 outsold the Switch

Would’ve loved this 25 years ago

The art style looks low budget to me. Certainly not AAA. Still ages until release so I haven’t given up on this just yet as I liked it on the Gamecube

Why bother? Stadia failed and that was designed for this type of gaming. Switch is not designed for streaming games so cloud games will fail on Switch. When will they learn?

I’m trying to work out apart from the graphical upgrade is there any new FREE content for existing Switch Ark owners in this update?

A fool and his money are soon parted. Tag Hauer will cash in big time on those 250 fools

Overpriced. Get the free ios/android version it’s all you need

They’ve decided to push it back to after Yokai Watch 4 is localised and released in the west

I’ve been crossing my fingers for a new logo and Capcom delivered. BOOM. Thank you Capcom you’ve been listening to your fans. I can’t believe we finally got a brand new logo after all these years our wishes for this franchise have finally come true and then some. WOW

I’ve played it for a few hours. The frame rate is good and so are the visuals. There is a bit too much pop-in but overall I’m happy.

@Schizor88 Because the steam deck weighs a tonne and battery life is an epic fail

I got it for free on my iPhone and can play 4 different tribes which is all I need. Decent enough but way overpriced on Switch. Try it for free on your mobile before parting with your cash is my recommendation

I got FIFA19 physical for AUD$9 (approx US$6) and for that price it’s great. I’m not paying to update when it’s just a legacy edition of my FIFA19 game. With over 110 million Switch owners this practice does not make much business sense along with not releasing a Madden game on Switch. EA have missed out on a tonne of cash imo.

What a mess. Aspyr is not what you should aspire to be.

GTA trilogy on Switch currently has a metacritic score of 46. Sure it’s not perfect but I think it is a great time. It got a lot of hate because a few songs are missing (around 10%) but not only do I like it I would actually recommend it.

I bought this way back in the day on my 3DS on a sale and never really put much time into it so it’s kind of in my backlog where it might stay for eternity. Sounds like a good game and a great update

@SwitchedOn_Games Yeah but as they are currently charging money for it I agree with Ooyah that it’s not a good thing to be proud of. They’re fixing a broken game that they charged you money for. That is the bare minimum IMO. Shouldn’t be selling u a defective product in the first place

Dysmantle please

I think the HD-2D is nice but it’s good not to overdo it. If too many games were in this style it might oversaturate the market and people might get fed up with it. That said I can’t wait for Octopath Traveller II

Although the graphics aren’t cutting edge the art style is still nice. More importantly it looks fun with plenty to do. Looking forward to it along with Octopath Traveller II

Remember the SNES days when everything came with Nintendo Seal of Approval guaranteeing quality & satisfaction. I wish Nintendo would set standards and requirements as the eshop has a ridiculous amount of shovelware.

At some stage they need to release Soul Hackers 2 on Switch if they want to give it any chance of success.

I’m definitely tempted because the price of the game is very reasonable in Australia unlike P5R.

@Anti-Matter Must pick up the PS4 version then. Can I play it on the bus to work?

How can u review this game and neglect to mention that it’s a 52 GB download or about 38 GB if you get the physical?. This factor will be a dealbreaker for some as it’s probably the heftiest game there is on switch and is actually the reason I will not purchase. I therefore rate this review (not the game) a 2/10. C’mon this is important and needs to be mentioned.
