@Dimjimmer that's not looking likely based on everything available about the Baten Kaitos remasters.

I ADORED the demo, and I honestly feel like I'm not done with it in order to justify this at launch at this point. If I pick up a game in the very near future, it's this or Tales of Symphonia.

@Dizzymario I had a dream that happened, and it was glorious.

@BlueCoolYoshi have you seen it listed anywhere? I can't seem to find it.

Has there been a physical version announced?

@Leostacks the bit of gameplay I watched did give me some massive Earthbound vibes. I can completely see it being a massive nostalgia hit, even if it isn't the best.

@CazSonOfCaz I'd still like to know what draws other people to it so that maybe I can begin to appreciate it for what it does.

Can someone help me understand the appeal of the game beyond the art style?

Some of yall are weirdly eager to pay more for video games...

I would hope they have a reason for why it's $70. If it's on a new cart that can hold it, then sure. If not, then I'm concerned for the future.

I'm really glad this is solid. I'm insanely excited for this game!

I'm spreading these out since they're surprisingly heavy, but I do plan to pick up Theatrhythm, Tales of Symphonia Remastered, and Kirby at some point. I still need to buy Bayo 3 before even considering Origins.

Is this getting a physical release?

@RaphaBoss it leaked when Engage did. Of course it's old. Nintendo wouldn't have a reason to announce it any time soon.

Unless the main DLC expansion is the remake?

Are people going to ignore that there are a bunch of underage characters who probably shouldn't be in anything but a platonic thing with Alear? How is that a localization complaint?

@DDFawfulGuy I also think the gender-less pronouns are probably to make things easier for the localization team. That'd be a lot to do to basically have two transcripts where the difference is he/she. Same with voice acting, even if I think the NOA team needs better voice acting directors.

@Shiro28 basically whenever people say something's "woke," it's because they've taken something that is traditionally full of white men and made it more diverse to reflect what society actually is. In this case, having characters who are black. Having queer-coded characters. Using gender-neutral pronouns. Having same-sex couples. Trans characters. People who say things are "woke" are only saying it for that reason. Apparently, this makes FE:E "woke," even if there are a handful of minority characters.

@Ryu_Niiyama don't feed the troll. He's dog-whistling his racism.

@Shiro28 there's nothing woke about it. It's all performative BS.

Or it's because there are non-white people in it, and OP is dog-whistling.

@Spookles the same source that accurately leaked Engage last year mentioned it was coming. I don't know where the leak originated from outside of someone in China.

@Munchlax you joke, but the rumor is that Geanology of the Holy War is getting remade.

@KayFiOS that makes this game a lot quicker of a buy than I was planning.

I want this SOOOO BADLY. It's beautiful.

@imgrowinglegs I wish there was a general idea of what the content would be. I know that some of it was datamined, but I just can swallow $30 easier once I know what the big expansion is going to be.

I NEED THIS! It looks so good!

Reading this made me realize how much Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories mentally scarred me when it came to deck builders. This looks a lot better, and I'd gladly give it a try if it came back.

Please do this in America. I want more than Marth and Corrin P2.

I'm curious how the non-localized ones would fit into this list. It's just Mysteries of the Emblem, Geneology, Thracia, and Binding Blade, correct?

This looks fun. I wish there'd be a little bit more recent characters (Please give me Elsa!), but still fun.

@smithyo both movies are going to make over $2 billion globally.

@dsparil more like a Cloud Version...

@topher6490 XV was fun from the demo I played. It's kind of the whole reason I bought Type-0 HD tbh.

I lost some respect for Simon Pegg.

@nhSnork is Type-0 worth revisiting? I couldn't really get into it back when it came out.

I'd prefer Chrono Trigger in some capacity on Switch over anything FF related. The XIII games are dirt cheap on PS3, so I'd honestly just settle on those since I have my gf's PS3.

@Bizzyb Literally the only difference is that they withheld a title for some reason. The same thing happened with Skyward Sword and even Skyward Sword HD for some reason. Plus literally everything big is stuck with the Mystery Box reveals since 2014.

@Bizzyb You're completely forgetting that part of those 5 years included COVID, and we have no idea what the Zelda team was doing with that time. Nintendo seemed to only really focus on ports and externally-developed games in that window. There's also no way that they keep it as tight-lipped as it's been. Literally every other system had something leak. Shoot, Fire Emblem: Engage had a significant info leak months before it came out. Nintendo is ALWAYS secretive about Zelda development, especially new titles, so this is nothing new. There is no Switch 2 in 2023 at all, and definitely not in May. If anything happens this year, it's the first leaks of the successor.

For my money, it's late 2024-2025 at the earliest. The Wii U was a completely different beast when it came to the Switch's reveal.

@Greatluigi they're surprisingly not terrible. The GameCube version is around $35-40, while the PS3 one is under $30. Granted, that's from a quick eBay search. I can imagine local stores might price gouge.

@ZebZed DK is coming to the Osaka park, but I don't know if they have the spacing issues Hollywood has. I'm hoping since the Nintendo stuff is supposed to be part of the third park they have more there than just Mario at opening.

But then again, anything is better than throwing more money at Queen TERF.

@nhSnork you mean you haven't licked your Switch cards?

@CazSonOfCaz updated hardware isn't happening in 2023. It would have absolutely leaked by now. It's all just speculation, especially with that leaked TOTK Switch.

@invictus4000 I agree about Awakening. That game is perfect. There are things that I like a lot better about the more recent games (the Monastery and talking with your squadmates regularly immediately come to mind.), but there's something about Awakening that's too good.

I love, love, LOVE the Wiimote. My original was damaged in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, and I think I cried after. Thankfully, I got a replacement, even if I had to pay through the nose to get it. It's just so simple and just enough Zelda to not be tacky.

Plus it's a Wiimote Plus. That helps.

@Cheez My girlfriend would 1000% agree with you.

Like others, I fully expect this to end with Sports Story or The Outer Wilds. They're totally building to a big shadow drop.

Does this mean the old amiibo are getting reprinted? Can I finally afford Alm, Celica, and Corrin Player 2? And then later get Lucina, Chrom, Tiki, Robin, and Ike? I want more than just Byleth.

@Lizuka I second Mario Party Superstars DLC. More boards feel like it should be essential.

I really liked the demo, and while I haven't picked this up, I feel like part of the reason Nintendo does this is so more people can be like "Oh yeah, I wanted to pick that game up." I know I'm one of them. However, I do agree that full price is insane for some of these. All three sports games should have been $40 AT MOST. It made Mario Tennis a lot easier of a sell, and I really enjoyed my time with it.

FINALLY!!! I've put off Cuphead for the physical edition, and I'm so glad it's with a decent publisher. iam8bit is solid.

@EvilRegal I hope the plan is to put them on one cart for the Switch releases, and that's why they haven't come out yet.

@andyg1412 if it's anything like the one for Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light and Metroid Dread, it's going to be massive. I hope I can get a copy.

@Ryu_Niiyama I'm about to do that as well. It always happened to me. Or I missed the restock completely. Or both.

@Ryu_Niiyama I need one so badly. I feel like I've put off playing any of the games without owning one.
