I had the original on DS and it just didn't click with me. Will likely pass here unless it gets some amazing reviews upon release.

This looks amazing, adding to my wish list. 15 hours is a little on the short end but I couldn't trek through the 60 hours of Hollow Knight so actually kind of excited for a shorter experience in the genre.

@AvianBlue you're talking perceived value. The public perceive the value of one chicken sandwich as higher than another. The actual quality is probably much closer than one might think. Same situation with Metroid. Is it twice as good as Hollow Knight? Probably not, but you're going to pay for it as if it is.

The issue is every new game in that genre is in the 20 dollar to 40 dollar range. I will still get the game, but it does seem a bit high compared to similar titles. On the other hand, I have no idea of the length and content. Maybe it warrants it, but if it clocks in at 20 to 30 hours, I think 40 or 50 bones is a better price point.

Now this looks fantastic.

The e3 trailer was nice. The trailer from this games original reveal left much to be desired but now I'm actually looking forward to it.

I was underwhelmed across the board, outside a couple new Bethesda IPs, both of which are far off, sequels and remakes across the board. How Forza can excite anyone at this point is beyond me.

I've never heard of this game. Reviews seem pretty average.

Is prime 4 still a game or is Metroid dread what Retro has been working on? Zelda and Metroid look good. SMT5 and Fatal Frame look good. Otherwise wasn't blown away.

I'd rather drink a glass of dirt water, would be healthier.

@AtlanteanMan I think that Switch has been particularly great for those of us, and there are many, that skipped the Wii U. I am still, however, disappointed with the lack of new software so I'm really hoping for some big announcements this week.

I want to see a lot from Nintendo this year. If they're not announcing a revision to the Switch anytime soon, they better have one hell of a line up they've been working on for awhile. Metroid Prime 4 and Zelda BotW2 are the only big games we are aware of (I suppose Splatoon 3 as well if that's your thing).

Streetlight Manifesto is about the only ska band I like. Buck O Nine was okay back in the day, but Less Than Jake isn't listened to by this old dude.

@Kieroni this is exactly what my initial thought was. The people using her work may not of known where it had come from, perhaps thinking it was old unused Capcom assets. Perhaps someone uploads the CD, leaves the company, and others don't realize it was copyrighted material. Either way, Capcom will pay, though probably just a fraction of the 12 million when it's all settled.

Sure looks like the same texture in the example. Pretty lame if they did this illegally... Ditto on ripping off monster designs if that's true as well.

Switch Pro will support Zelda BotW 1080p 60fps but will have to buy a remastered copy of the game for 60 dollars. Nothing to announce for BotW2 or Metroid. 45 minute trailer for the new Mario Golf. Jared Goff, new Detroit Lions quarterback, announced for Smash.

Only some of the classics... Played the original DQ trilogy multiple times. Played FF 1 though 9 multiple times, as well as CT. In recent memory, double dipped on Xenoblade and Dark Souls when they rereleased on Switch. Disappointed Dark Souls 2 was never ported... It's not a classic but I would have given it another whirl on Switch. In most cases, there are too many good games to warrant replaying old ones, but classics are classics and nostalgia sometimes wins the day, particularly for old school JRPGs, where new releases are few and far between, and of suspect quality.

@Crono1973 final fantasy 15 had no female playable characters, at least at launch. Haven't followed the games post launch development so I could be wrong.

@Darknyht I also love the original trilogy. Don't get me wrong, XI was fine, but something about the older titles just takes me back to a simpler time and all is good.

I've played 1,2,3,8,9, and 11. I'd love to play the rest but don't really feel like digging out a DS and overpaying for them online. A rerelease would be day 1 for me.

Add to the list of franchises Nintendo is ignoring. F-Zero, 1080, Wave Race, Star Fox, Donkey Kong, Pilot Wings, and the list goes on, but hey, they'll add more obscure characters to Smash so weeeee!

Too bad, first is one of the better horror games in recent history. It's hard to devote time and money to something that is just okay.

I played this 20 years ago on PS2 and didn't care for it. I tried Persona 3 on PS Vita last year and didn't like it. This universe/series/whatever it is is not for me.

Champions of Norrath was another great arpg from that era. Think I will pass on a rerelease though.

Never got around to Origins so this is great news. Baten Kaitos us among the best RPGs of that generation. Now if someone would do something with the xenosaga /xenogears trademark...

IGN is the worst.

I've played extensively on Switch. It's playable but not optimal. I've had good games in cross play. It's a far cry for the Series S version I also play, but not really that far off from the PS4 version as I recall. The biggest issue I have with it is the crashing and bugs and the fact that cross play voice chat doesn't work at all with seemingly no fix in sight.

It might be controversial to say, but I for one would welcome more RPG elements into the Zelda games. I will be interesting seeing what kind of mark, if any, Monolith leaves on the series.

How old would a kid need to be to understand and play this game? Looks interesting...

I really need to finish this game. Dropped 80 hours into it a couple years ago but haven't returned.

People collect because owning a tangible asset is cool. Digital assets suck. I'm old.

Monster Hunter Rise, Apex Legends, and maybe some Immortals Fenix Rising and Cross Code.

Undertale was not my cup of tea. This is a hard pass.

I'm always confused, should I hate corporations for stuff like this or "like" them for their incessant virtue signaling? Question, why do the shareholders allow for stuff like this?

If all they have so far is the logo and that awesome music track, I'm worried they might not meet the 20XX release window...

All that talent involved but I don't like the look of this game... I will keep an open mind upon release.

I have game pass. I barely use it. A lot of games I opt for on Switch for portability. I do prefer the F2P games on Xbox like Apex Legends but those do not require game pass. The idea of Game Pass is cool but I also like owning things.

The N64 had few games by comparison to many other Nintendo consoles but the Nintendo first party stuff was some of their best, Star Fox 64 included.

Was just playing the arcade last weekend. I assume this uses giro controls similar to the resident evel chronicles game on wii...

Xbox Series S/X remote play app for Switch. Make it happen. Button layout is nearly identical.

This game is very good. The writing is not especially funny.. I would just call it more lighthearted. If you're looking for a serious story about gods and monsters this is not it. I will have to boot it up and see what "performance improvements" we're really made. I find that it performed pretty solidly in handheld but chugged a bit when docked.

Preserve your own physical purchases because as gaming moves to a more subscription-based model, you will never really own anything and what is or isn't available to you will be the decisions of MS, Sony, Nintendo, or I suppose Google. I like Game Pass from Microsoft but I'm fully aware that what's there today might not be there tomorrow.

@Wilforce you mean there is another one about app designers that is not Mingle All The Way?

@Wilforce I think they actually made one about game designers. It was, as you would expect, terrible.

@Anti-Matter this confused me just as much as FF13s storyline. Slow clap

Beaten Kaitos was better for me but a solid Tales game nonetheless.

Lost Odyssey was one of the last great JRPGs in the tradition of a classic Final Fantasy title. It is my favorite RPG from that generation of games. Too bad the company seemingly disappeared from console game development not long after.

I have a handful of N64 classics cart only, but sold everything from NES and SNES except for my Ogre Battle cartridge. I also had some PSX classics but remakes and remasters have kind of ruined their market value over the years.

Sounds like this is completely unrelated to the main game? I'm 30 hours in and enjoy this game a lot. Not sure I need more though, main game is quite long.

I played this back on PS2. This is a series that just isn't for me. I really wanted to like it but just couldn't get into it.
