@Anti-Matter I'm rather surprised that you wrote about "revenge" and "kicking PS4 butt". Sorry, I'm just fed up with these "console wars" posts on the internet.
I'm glad that, even if everyone above are not Polish, corrected mistake about Chopin country of birth. Many people in Poland would be furious after reading something like that. Kind of... national craze I think.
Syberia games are one of my favourites, but, oh boy, these prices on Switch... Got both games from magazine years ago and spent like 15 PLN (around 3 pounds).
@yeayeanaynay I can't say if story is shallow because I haven't finished the game yet, but it looks promising and keeps me engaded. Fights are indeed long (even with common enemies) and English voice acting is worse than Japanese. As for sexist design - yeah, I prefer less skimpy clothes, but I don't think it's sexist.
@yeayeanaynay We are not talking about having a mainstream point of view or not. You just dissmissed the game because you don't have time for it. I get it, wife, children, etc. Many people don't have time. But this is not a factor which can be used to determine whether the game is bad. You can play it for 2-3 months or play something else.
@yeayeanaynay So you just don't have time and, instead of mentioning this first, you decided to dismiss the game. How mature. Much more than "horny teenager".
I know that's not a popular opinion, but I think that lack of Virtual Console on Switch is good for now. Why? Cause indie developers can port their games to Switch and sell them. We heard about fantastic results of SteamWorld Dig 2 (10 times better sales than on Steam), Wonder Boy (sales on Switch better than other platforms combined) and other games. VC titles would interfere with these games. I think it's intentional decision from Nintendo. Of course I hope that at one point we get awesome VC with GameCube titles, but not now.
Good option for English dubbing. It's kinda good in cutscenes, but when I'm hearing something about battling with the power of friendship 50th time in an hour, I wanna kill myself.
Played some time in handheld mode, it often looked like in 480p or so. I'm not "4k 60 FPS" person but X on Wii U's Gamepad looked better than this, so it's a bummer.
Docked is completely different story - the game looks beautiful on the TV screen.
@Spoony_Tech Good point. Beginning of the year looks kinda poor when it comes to Switch and now people are buying Mario bundles, Mario Kart or Breath of the Wild for Christmas rather than "100 hours anime jRPG".
@WhistleFish These analysis are very good, DF goes into technical details, etc. Problem is that there are some stupid people in the internet which MUST tell you that their console of choice is better. And they're very loud. Sadly, we really can't do anything about it.
Yeah, yeah. But they had little to do with Harvest Moon (now Story of Seasons) series, they were just publishing it in the USA. And now they're making these abominations like The Lost Valley or Light of Hope (the last one isn't live yet, I know, but trailers suggest something horrible).
Marvelous is one to talk about history of the series.
Yeah, I'm really triggered when I'm hearing about Natsume talking about Harvest Moon.
Played it on PC some years ago. One on the hardest (harder than DKC: Tropical Freeze's K levels I think) but also satisfying platformers I encountered.
Kinda like it, especially in Etrian Odyssey games, which look gorgeous in 3D. I also played with slider ON in A Link Between Worlds or Kid Icarus: Uprising. It was never such a feature as two screens in DS, sadly.
Played a quarter or so at the game convention. I was surprised how fun this game is but, as I don't have a Switch or New 3DS, I'll probably never play full version.
@StuTwo You're right, I just wanted my comment short. Rivalisation is good and exciting for people working in each company and Sony without Nintendo (and the other way around) would be probably much different.
@FragRed I know, I know, but that minority is loud on the internet. Nintendo fanboys are irritating too.
That's because this 'console war' is more internet 'fans' battle than corporate one. Kaz Hirai and Tatsumi Kimishima are drinking sake together while rabid Nintendo and Sony followers are battling in the net

Re: Review: Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology (3DS)
Another nice review Morgan, I like your looong texts.
Got this preordered and waiting for 16th. In the meanwhile, I'm checking the demo - 6 hours in and it haven't ended yet!

Re: Nintendo Software Dominates The Week's Japanese Charts
@Matthew010 Yeah, I know, it isn't my first language too. His comment was just incredibly stupid.
Re: Nintendo Software Dominates The Week's Japanese Charts
@Anti-Matter Are you 10 or what?
Re: The Creator Of Smartphone Hit Downwell Has Joined Nintendo
@Robotron2084 It will be a nice, long toilet break, believe me.
Re: SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy Will Not Censor Risqué Costumes For Western Switch Release
Yeah, cenzorship. Like anyone plays games like this with 7 years old sister or something.
Re: Burnout Paradise HD Remaster Confirmed For PS4, But Where Does That Leave Switch?
Too much counting on something, not enough hard facts.
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th January (North America)
So many games. So that's why this took you so much time.
Joking aside, January will be bland, both in USA and Europe. Let's just wait for better times and dig into the backlog.
Re: Miyamoto Gives a Surprising Insight Into What He Looks For In New Game Designers
@amrole Cause they're making the same game over and over again.
Re: Switch Has Beaten The PlayStation 2's Year-One Sales In Japan
@Anti-Matter Yeah, console wars, that's what we need here. I like my Switch and 3DS, I like my Vita and PS4.
Re: PlatinumGames Is Looking To Create A Brand New IP
Great studio. Even if they publish a game not exactly in my taste, it is generally a very good title.

Merry Christmas everyone! I will miss your editorials Tom, you humble scribe, but I hope Dom will follow in your footsteps.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Update to Bring Bug Fixes and Map Improvements
@yeayeanaynay Thanks! Maybe I didn't read one of your posts and hence the misunderstanding. Hope you'll play it one day.

Re: Splatoon 2 Is Getting a New Map Tomorrow
Just bought the game and aw yiss, loved this map in the first game.

Re: Review: 80's Overdrive (3DS eShop)
@SimplyCinnamon53 Now let's stop for a while and think about how this game would look like on 720p Switch screen.
Re: Review: River City: Rival Showdown (3DS)
If it wasn't so pricey... or if it had at least a physical edition.
Re: Soapbox: No, HD Wii Games Coming to Nvidia Shield Doesn't Foretell a Switch Virtual Console
@CTMike Actually they are native. There was some sort of commotion about this, but Nvidia said that they're not streamed.

Re: Floor Kids Dances Onto Switch Very Soon
Looks great, but I'll wait for a price slash. 10 euros and I'm in.
Re: WayForward Reveals a New Trailer for its Next Shantae Expansion
Previous DLC was kinda pricey. I wonder how much second will cost.

Re: It's Going To Be Hard To Resist These Super Mario 3 Pin Badges
It's not that hard if you're poor.
Re: Music: Sample the Delights of the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Soundtrack With 'Shadow of the Lowlands'
Surprising collaboration. Sounds Skyrimish.

@WhistleFish These analysis are very good, DF goes into technical details, etc. Problem is that there are some stupid people in the internet which MUST tell you that their console of choice is better. And they're very loud. Sadly, we really can't do anything about it.
Re: The Latest Zelda: Breath of the Wild Gift Has a Little Extra Punch
Other memorable small moments? Staring at Zelda's butt of course.

Re: Shinobi Refle: Senran Kagura Arrives on the Switch This Week in Japan
@okeribok Yeah, but this is a spin-off about doing things with girls or something like that.
Re: Shinobi Refle: Senran Kagura Arrives on the Switch This Week in Japan
We all know that dialogues don't matter in these games.
Re: Review: Street Hoop (Switch eShop / Neo Geo)
@Agramonte Just do it.

Re: Reggie on Backing Up Your Saves with the Switch
Reggie is somewhat active in recent days, but his statements are lacking information as always. Funny guy, this Reggie.
Re: Camelot Software Boss Is Keen To Make Shining Force IV A Reality
Camelot needs to stop making Mario sports games and return to RPGs. Nintendo is wasting their potential.
Re: Review: Volgarr The Viking (Switch eShop)

Re: Reggie on GameCube Controller Support on the Switch
Maybe they'll unwittingly add some GameCube games next week? Like 100 or so. You know, just by accident.
Re: Talking Point: An Era Ends As Nintendo Continues to Ignore 3D on the 3DS

Re: Video: So, Just How Red are the Super Mario Odyssey Joy-Con Controllers?
It's a cranberry color for an autumn release.
Re: Review: Fire Emblem Warriors (Switch)
@yeayeanaynay Yeah, played Hyrule Warriors demo on 'old' 3DS and it was a terrible experience. I'll pick up a Switch version if any.

Re: Poll: The Switch eShop is Hot, But Is It Time for an Overhaul of Its User Interface?
@TeslaChippie Maybe. Maybe I'm just accustomed to good 3DS and Wii U eshops. Hope it'll get better though.
