Its slowed down big time then. In the UK you can pick these two up for cheap so that makes sense, a lot of people must have sold or traded in their copies of the game. I still haven't picked it up since there's so much Pokémon content to play on Switch already, but if I do it'll likely be a cheaper second hand copy so won't contribute to sales
It would never happen, but I'd love to see an Eldorado race track with playable Miguel and Tulio, maybe they could share a kart that's based on their house Altivo
@RareFan the article mentions a Madagascar stage, so I'd be surprised if Alex and Marty weren't included
I'd only been using the subscription for Smash Ultimate and Dead By Daylight so decided not to renew. Ive had my fill of playing those now and I own most the GB/NES/SNES/N64 games that I'd want to play anyway physically or through the mini consoles so the subscription offering doesn't do much for me. Nice to see a cheaper deal though, rarely seems to happen with this one
Interesting, I wondered where the name came from. Still not tired of seeing the same thumbnail for every new Baten Kaitos article, the cover art is gorgeous. Still disappointed at the English dub removal though, but I suppose there's always the Gamecube versions
Was planning on picking this up whenever the patches improved the experience, but looks like I never will at this point, such a shame. I've still got more Legends Arceus to play and never did the Crown Tundra DLC for Sword/Shield so not gagging for more Pokémon, they release this stuff frequently so maybe by the time the next game comes out I'll be done with the pre-Scarlet/Violet games
I'm still disappointed that this is Japanese only. I want to be excited for these games getting remastered since I always wanted to try them, I love the Gamecube and Motoi Sakuraba's music, but I'm finding it hard to be excited when I know they've removed all the original English voice acting. I wish they would at least give a reason or better yet add it as DLC, I'd even pay for it although it should really be a free update
@Daniel36 the floating islands in TotK are a very small part of the game, from what I've played anyway. You spend more time on the surface or underground
Was so excited to hear about this earlier today. Star Ocean is one my favourites. This is the only one in the series that isn't available in HD outside of Japan as well. I hope Katsumi Enami who redid the artwork for First Departure R will do the same for this 'R' release as well
Will wait for the physical blu-ray. Spending so much to rent it digitally doesn't appeal to me, especially when a couple of cinema tickets are cheaper and you get more of an experience
Would love to see the Star Fox games get some love. Fire Emblem Path of Radiance as well, always wanted to play it, but not willing to part with £200+ for one game
@jbreez00 If you actually do want to try this game the physical copies are still out there. The big loss is the Revelation story path as that is DLC locked, but that's supposed to be the worst of the 3 story lines. The other two paths had physical releases
@Yosher its not like all the physical copies of this game are going to suddenly disappear tomorrow. The only thing to be concerned about with this game is the DLC
Sounds great! Just wondering how does co op work? Do both players play all the same notes or is each song split with each player playing half the track?
I'll probably pick it up at some point. Its really not where I hoped the series would go though. I enjoyed Three Houses a lot, but I think Radiant Dawn and its lore and story telling will always be my favourite
Like others have said here, I'm really not a fan of how everyone seems to look the same. Characters like Lucina and Edelgard have lost so much in the transition to Engage's art style. I love Fire Emblem, but this game still needs to win some of us over
@mr_somewhere Maiden of Black Water is the only one I've played and I really liked that so definitely looking forward to playing this remaster. Hope it gets a Western physical Switch release
Yunaka just looks like if Celica accidentally glued stars to her hair then got so embarrassed that she changed her name and outfit to make a fresh start
I don't really get all the Ed Sheeran hate honestly. I only know 2 or 3 of his songs (including this one) and even I know he's been a pokemon fan for years so it just kinda makes sense. To each their own though
Already got the remasters on Wii U. Simple for me really, if they're better on Switch then I'll pick them up, but if they're the same remasters just without the helpful gamepad features then no way
I mean we got the Switch OLED less than a year ago, whats the hurry? I say that as someone with only the original Switch as well. Not expecting 'Switch Pro/Switch 2' until late next year at the earliest
Nice, was disappointed when Switch didn't get the anniversary content since I haven't tried any of the mods. Oblivion would be awesome on Switch though
That was a really interesting read. Thanks for taking part in this investigation. What a relief the artwork was saved, shame the same can't be said for whatever else was in the box like X
I'm surprised we don't see more of these articles on new characters coming to the game to be honest. Seems quite random that the first time it happens in ages is for characters who are from a Japan exclusive game and in wedding outfits as well
Extras are always nice. Will definitely be picking this up since I'm based in the UK. Hope the game does get a physical release in North America though
I wish these games would be discounted for PAL systems as well. There's a few Atlus games I'd love to try, but they either don't have a physical release or the physical is really expensive
I'm one of the 70mill, but I never made it past all the terms and conditions you have to sign just to play it. Just left a bad taste in my mouth so had it deleted. I wonder how many others did the same
@westman98 The game was likely being made in Unity, that would explain it being planned as a New 3DS game and not a regular 3DS game. Unity only supports New 3DS if I remember right
No GTAV in the top 10, but GTA still manages to be in there through the trilogy 'remaster', funny. Great to see Legends Arceus still up there, would be nice to see it outsell the other Switch Pokémon games so the Pokémon company can see quality does matter
Hoping for another Pokken or Mystery Dungeon remake, the ones we had on Switch were great. Really hoping we don't get a Gen 9 announcement and that the two mainline games they just released get some breathing space
Great feature, Star Fox is just great. Lylat Wars was my first, but Assault is my favourite. All good games though in their own ways. Hopefully we'll see a new game on Switch seeing as it's apparently still midway through its life
Navi was fine, Ocarina would be a lesser game without her. Tatl was arguably better and so was Midna and the King of Red Lions. Fi however was too much, although I'm glad the HD remaster of Skyward Sword looks to have improved her
I wanted to support this near launch, but been on a tight budget this year and finally got round to picking it up around Black Friday. Looking forward to seeing if it lives up to the brilliant original
@mariopartyfan68 Not a bad price at all, if you play Animal Crossing that is. For people who don't the Expansion upgrade is too expensive. A collection with the three Cruisn' games sounds better to me, maybe the arcade and N64 versions together?
