Please Monolithsoft, just pitch to Nintendo a REAL open-world Pokemon game. They gotta have to consider, right?

Knowing Square-Enix, it's going to be something really stupid.

Balan Wonderworld 2

Look, everyone loves some David Hayter. But nobody plays this series with English voices, especially with 'him' voicing Kiryu.

@BigBluePanda
Alot of mistakes on the chart this week. Probably got preoccupied with counting dust particles while writing.

Without Kamiya, I'm curious what direction the series will take.

Given the multiverse and multitimeline Bayonetta 3 introduced. It can pretty much go anywhere, even open to a complete total reboot.

That's... not good numbers for Hundred Line. I remember Rain Code selling fifty five thousand on it's release week. With the studio still on shaky ground with their finances and revealing that they are always at risk of closure, I'm hoping it'll do better in the west.

Fantastic for Clair Obscur. A great example of success from just word-of-mouth, because people are genuinely enjoying a good gaming experience.

If you accidentaly step on it barefoot, not only will it hurt like heck, but it'll explode too.

Fun for the whole family.

I was expecting more like: someone throwing their Switch 1 away, but it boomerangs back to their hands and is now a Switch 2.

Then bikini girls and emus run in and start dancing.

Wow, I can't believe the world's governments allows Nintendo permission to throw bricks at any who violate their user agreement.

It's like the middle-ages.

As expected from Microsoft, it looks bulky.

If you play it while swimming, it'll probably drag you straight to the bottom.

Nintendo did alot of things right during the Switch 1 era.

Used old and cheaper tech to power Switch 1.
Made a successful entry into mainstream cinema.
Made friends with many 3rd party and even rival companies, both big and small.
Being more open to mobile and online businesses.
More open to lending their IP's to partner companies.
And ofcourse, the continued hype and excitement with Switch 2.

It's not surprising that investors and partner companies are flocking to get in on the action.

This is so my thing, but if the textures are blurry and the framerate is uneven, then I'll have to pass. I'll keep an eye on this though.

Seeing this list reminds me that despite the coming Switch 2, Switch 1 still has plenty of support from other developers with future titles that are highly anticipated.

Kinda goes without saying...

I was thinking on getting my Switch 2 some rectangular, silver-colored glasses to give it some sophistication, and maybe even a striped tie.

These days, it's more common than you think.

When making major titles, they usually have a small group to write screenplays for a movie or tv series, or sell the movie/tv rights to another company.

Then when the game comes out and fails or is nowhere near the success they were hoping for, they throw everything out.

I hope Dwayne Johnson is cast as the other girl. 🤞

What's even more surprising about this otome game is that it's based on The Wizard of Oz. Girl gets isekai'd via a twister even.

Nice. It's like a third person Mirror's Edge, except EA didn't horribly mishandle it.

Perfect.

The car needs to explode in a jaw-dropping, fiery inferno when it crashes. Then the girl that gets thrown out, make her explode too.

I'd be so okay if they get Skies of Arcadia and Prince of Persia The Sands of Time on the service.

Or even Lost Kingdoms 1 and 2. They're such under-rated and pretty much forgotten pair of rpg's for the Gamecube.

Super Mario Iliad: The Trojan Wars.

The only logical follow-up.

@danzoEX
Spawn looked the look, but both he and Heihachi play like butt.

Oh, man. That will definitely effect purchasing decisions.

I used to buy amiibo cause they were somewhat cheap and looked nice with the benefit of a few game functions. Now, it's like you have to be fully commited.

It depends on the game whether they're aiming for realism or not. There's a very good reason story-wise why Xenoblade X has no fall damage, and it's thrilling to escape a battle by hurling yourself off a steep edge, knowing that you'll live.

But having fall damage does have a better sense of danger and risk, making everything you do crucial to your survivability. Imagine the riots occurring if From Software decides to remove fall damage from their games.

@TimelessJubilee Renewed licensing costs for The Witcher, Nier Automata and Samurai Shodown.

Link always was the best of the three guest characters. Too bad the roster will never be complete. Link's projectiles are so good, I always try to end the match with an arrow to the opponent.

@Anti-Matter Try reading the information that's already in front of you first.

Nothing new for this week. But I did get Power Rangers Battle for the Grid with a big discount with nearly all the dlc, after getting hyped and inspired when I watched a tournament of it.

Game has really changed from it's initial release, and totally nolonger deserves the initial scores.

@Vyacheslav333 I said we don't mention it here! >:U

@Vyacheslav333 There's a reason why I only mentioned seven when there are eight games on the collection.

SFZ3 Upper has it's drawbacks but deserves it's place. There's one game that both pros and casuals hate, and we do not mention THAT game here.

So hype and excited to get my hands on Capcom vs SNK 2 and play some good solid arcade fun with both Power Stone games.

The seven games in this collection deserve so much more love.

Quirky, niche indie titles have become very synonymous with Nintendo, ever since the Wii U years. So, it's not that surprising that many indie studios make an effort to put their games on Switch even with the looming Switch 2 release.

One Yunobo. One Riju. One Tulin.

For Sidon... I'LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK!!!

Since it's about the Japanese public, I say use their giant robots, their teenage magical girls and their talking pet mystical beasts.

@JohnnyMind
I'm just assuming. I could be wrong. Hogwarts Legacy on Switch 1 seems like an entirely different build, and they may be using the PS5/PC build for Switch 2.

Plus, with WB Games, nothing makes them more happy than people purchasing the same game for a different console at full price.

Given those prices, Switch 2 looks mighty attractive now. Those hikes certainly won't entice people who are still on-the-fence with a PS5 purchase.

Woah. What's the sudden surge in Hogwarts Legacy?

I'm assuming the Switch 1 version is heavily discounted because it can't be upgraded into the Switch 2 version.

@Spider-Kev
For context, not only is the game a bland-looking remake of game no one played. To many (including myself), the Nintendo Switch 2 direct suffered a severe lag that left people stuck on a screenshot of the game. It was long enough that many missed the live view of Enter The Gungeon 2 and Starseeker, two games that look far more interesting.

Of course, it's not the game's fault at all, but the negative emotion has attached itself to it.

Look up the comments on the game's trailer and you'll see the dozens of people talk about their experience with this.

I do so wish that the developers follow through with their desire to make a Xenoblade X sequel.

The possibilities are endless because it is known that there are more Earth ships traveling throughout space. Xenoblade X only follows the story of the Los Angeles ship and the fate of the other city ships are never said. The stories and scenarios you can make with those are so open for creativity.

A hard pass.

What's confusing is that Nintendo could've easily just made a wheelchair basketball game and made it bright and colorful with expressive Mii-like characters playing in a park or beach or city court.

Whoever gave the idea to use Tron as the theme, deserves to sit in a corner and think about what they did.

Seriously, Welcome Tour is like reading an instruction manual for your child's bedtime story.

And we ALL know why we hate Survival Kids.

I'd be disappointed should Link become playable. Best to give Zelda and others bigger roles in the tale.

And make a male counterpart for Zelda like what they did with Linkle.

Kinda obvious, I'm more interested if they found a way to use the GBA content on the original Gamecube, and if they do release Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD then they'll need to remove or rework the Miiverse content.
