I'd love a SoA remake with a sped up battle system.

No review of the Switch version anywhere, including this site. But hey, at least I can read 42 different Zelda articles.

Indie RPGs are rarely as good as the classics that inspired them. I don't feel like anyone can balance RPGs anymore. You either steamroll everything or hit massive difficulty spikes. Nevermind half the newer RPGs are constantly capping your level and still can't balance the gameplay.

@CharlieGirl Agreed. They need to announce something while the Switch is still relevant. If they wait too long, some may be motivated to buy the suddenly available next gen consoles.

I am thinking this is just rental. Why would they let you buy digital 6 months before the supposed blu ray release.

@Bic44 outside of paper Mario and Mario rpg, none of the Mario games have much of a plot either. I think the movie provided fans pretty much exactly what we wanted.

Is that Val Kilmer or Michael Keaton? If Val, I'll go with Japan, if Michael, still gonna go with Japan.

Looks cool, will add to wish list and check for sales.

The 2013 era re-imaginings of TR were great, but I never tried these spinoffs. I've always thought they looked interesting so maybe at the right price I'll bite. I do agree with the commenter saying a remake of the original would be great. Even though the TR game from 2013 was excellent in its own right, nothing matches the atmosphere of the original TR. Clunky controls aside, the game has great puzzles and was genuinely creepy the further you got into it.

Great game. Played it on PC back when it released. Best Alien game ever, and a top 5 horror game as well.

@Korgon if it has traditional OoT style dungeons, I will be in. Otherwise I will probably hold off awhile. I enjoyed BotW but really missed the classic dungeons.

I've played Elden Ring and BotW. I have no problem going between the two because even if one runs smoother, you stop noticing once you play the other for more than 10 minutes. If you're that obsessed with the difference between 30 and 60 fps, be happy you didn't live through the PSOne and N64 era. I used to play games like Turok 2 at sub 20 fps and still had fun, because I appreciated their gameplay and ideas. 60 fps is great for Elden Ring, but that game has tons of other flaws that aren't technical (namely the entire second half and sharp decline in quality after the first big dungeon). Elden Ring is basically just a giant killing field. An open world with enemies placed in specific spots, but that is otherwise void of life. There are some killer dungeons in the game, but I'd take Dark Souls and BB over Elden Ring every day of the week.

A Zelda movie would be a money printer if they can pull it off. The whole silent protagonist thing presents a real challenge though. Metroid could be an interesting live action movie. Earthboard could be like a goonies style live action film too. Lots of different things they could do with Mario. I look forward to what's to come.

@Finntendo VIII is actually one of my favorites. A lot probably had to do with me being a teenager at the time, so the introverted Squall was someone I could really relate to, but beyond that, I think it has the best graphics and music of the PSOne era. I also think it was a game that tried something new with the battle system but without changing the feel altogether like 12. Not everything landed perfectly, I don't fondly remember drawing 50x from enemies per fight to boost my stats, but it was interesting and strategic nonetheless. XI returned to a more traditional "learn x by equipping y" and it just felt very "been there, done that" to me. I'd also add that while the summons in VIII should have been "skippable," they are in my opinion still the best ever representations of the classic Shiva, Ifrit, Odin, etc. in any game in the series.

VI, and it's been mostly downhill since then. The pixel remasters would be interesting if I hadn't played all those games 3 and 4 times. The PSOne era games were good but the remasters, not including whatever the 7 remake is, were pretty weak with what was on offer. It'd be nice if someone would give them the Resident Evil GameCube style remake they deserve, but that would require effort from Square, which they're incapable of these days. The series is a shell of it's former self, and even if the newer games aren't "bad," they're definitely not great either, but hey, 20 years from now maybe I'll be able to play the entire FF7 remake in it's totality.

Is the game actually Blasphemous? Asking for a friend. <.< >.>

This is a pretty good game and runs great on Switch. I just don't think any live service game has held me for more than the initial season or 2 when I started. Solid, but can't devote all my playtime to one game.

No physical like they did with the xeno 2 dlc? That's disappointing.

I actually liked Ganon from A Link to the Past. I have no idea what happened to him when the series went 3D.

This game just keeps getting worse. Next up, broken online play during launch, terrible frame rate and performance, or game breaking bugs, or all of the above?

Can't wait to get my hands on one of those Scalpers Editions.

@Gamergirl94 Kranky was really the only voice that didn't click with me. As perhaps the most comedic character in this universe, he also wasn't very funny. Thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the movie though.

I think Europe is the most pleasant to look at. None are great. I wish Capcom would port these lightgun Wii shooters to the Switch.

I'd play a MP CoD on Switch if it performed well.

Watched the movie tonight. Kids loved it and enough fun for adults that grew up with Mario as well. Great voice performances.

Just be happy you were alive when this piece of art came out. Perhaps Jack remembered the greatest song in the world and this is it. A triple threat at the pinnacle of his craft. Truly inspiring.

@Jireland92 First reactions to Antman 3 made it sound like "Marvel is back!" yet it ended up being their worst reviewed movie yet. Still, guessing this movie will be great fun for it's target audience.

The comments about the movie lacking plot are cringe. What Mario games have anything resembling a plot? The movie, as it should be, is aimed at kids, who love the games. If parents that grew up with Mario can sit through it and kids enjoy it, them mission accomplished.

@Tott Fractions are hard. Then again, I've never paid 4 bucks for a coffee so maybe I'm a square that doesn't know common core.

I'll pass on the paid subscription, just don't double the amount of ads for us cheapos. We can get content anywhere these days.

They should do a Poochy Nintendo Direct, highlighting every frame of animation for this compelling character. I'd love to see him in Smash as well.

@Dm9982 almost forgot about booth babes. The early 2000s, what a time to be alive.

Sad. Used to really look forward to E3 each year. There were always some really great surprises and reveals. I like Directs and things like that, but nothing compares to E3 in it's heyday.

As an old grumpy man that grew up in the 80s and 90s, it saddens me to see the decline of malls and movie theaters. I'm sure young people do things far more productive than I did when I was young, but outside of sports — movies, malls, and arcades were our social lives.

Just went from wanting this game to no longer wanting this game.

@Baler I've only played Bayonetta 1 but have the same sentiment. Enjoyed the character and story but the gameplay wasn't for me.

The people okay paying 70 dollars also tip pickup orders. They're going to be the downfall of western civilization.

Should we pay $120 for Metroid Prime 4 since they basically had to start it over? Surely the experience on offer will be twice that of a lesser game?

I did not like that video.

@Koxen the movie style characters actually wouldn't shock me at all...

Diddy Kong all but confirmed along with remastered tracks from Diddy Kong Racing.

Just recently played the first Bayonetta for the first time. I enjoyed it but sucked at the combat. I had to change it to easy to ease my frustration. I might pick up the sequels at a discount some day, and actually look forward to the story of this game.

Spent many hours in the half pipe. Snowboarding games in general have seemingly disappeared.

I might double dip digital and collectors edition. Poor performance, bad level design, and terrible controls sounds right up my alley.

I'll look for it this weekend but I'm not optimistic I'll find it.

Is there even a question about what Star Fox is best? This might not be a popular opinion, but I'd take a reboot of Star Fox or F Zero over another Splatoon or Pikmin any day. Dont let these series die.

@frabbit it would be nice if Nintendo could get back to the days of having relatively competitive hardware. In fairness, their strategy has worked for the most part, and their consoles can always do something unique the others can't.

Stories being disconnected are going to make it a pass for me. Bought OT1 day 1, didn't read much on it, but graphics were like what FF6 would look like in HD and I love the genre. Was very disappointed with the way the story was told. Later game bosses became endless battles against piles and piles of HP, only to be abruptly ended when a boss would go into a new phase 30 minutes in. Honestly one of the most disappointing RPGs to me in a long time.

Between this and the Bill and Ted shadow drop, weekend off to a good start.

I guess aimed at drunk eShop shoppers with credit to burn.
