@NinjaAceTrainer Oh, thought that was damage. Some explanation to what 'adjustment' means would be nice in the future, Nintendo. Not too big of a nerf, though. Especially for the Forge as I never ever use these Bubbles.
Having loved this on Steam, I gave this a go. The gathering section controls rather poorly, can‘t remember that from Steam. Yeah, it‘s not the longest game or one you‘ll play for hours on end but reading through the descriptions of events you‘re going through is quite charming and funny at times. But also that loses its charm after a few times.
Played Ys 7 on my Vita but it got boring pretty quickly. Might give this a shot. The new camera angle makes things already look more interesting, that‘s for sure.
Always had this on my to-play-list but I couldn‘t find a copy of the DS original for the right price so this announcement is very welcome. Very welcome, indeed.
Dangit, I was away for just one hour! For a Direct Mini, it‘s good. Loads of content and while not much in the wake of first party announcements, I still liked most of them.
I particularly enjoyed Hyrule Warriors, DKCTF and Mario Tennis. This already looks way better than Ultra Smash. Fe looks amazing btw.
This is the thing I've been waiting for from the entire December update. Having this dino skeleton hanging above the stage is just awesome. Too bad tomorrow will be the only day of the week I'm away so I can't play until late evening.
@daveh30 Rough outlines of the poses and such. These only serve as reference points and are deleted once the tracing is done. Would be a pain, well more of a pain than it already was, to draw them in full detail without reference points.
All in all, I‘m very impressed there‘s somebody out there willing to spend their free time drawing all these. Great Job, dude!
To me, they should just do away with the extra hocus pocus of Mega Evolutions and Z-Moves, which they completely ignore by the next generation. They should also do a BotW and grant the player the option to tackle gyms in whatever order they wish. Like XC2, Pokémon of varying levels roam around the grassy hills, frozen tundra and dusty dunes. I‘d also like it if other trainers had a fixed day schedule like in Stardew Valley and wouldn‘t just be standing on one spot. Plus, they could emphasize the exploration aspect by having the player actively seek out mons without the need for random encounters.
But they‘ll never do that. GF takes one step forward and two steps back.
PS: I really enjoyed SM‘s story but then again, this one was the first I didn‘t hate so this might very well have been luck on their part.
Tried it on PC, not my type. I just don‘t like games where the only objective is to go and kill the other players. I‘d much rather try to work with others and complete an objective, like in Splatoon or Overwatch.
They may very well try their hand at a Switch version, I wish them all the best, but I really need a mouse for FPSs so thanks but no thanks.
All I will guess is that they show off Bayonetta 1+2. Releases in mid-February and ain‘t exactly a self-selling series outside of her fanbase. I do expect there to be release months announced for Yoshi and Kirby.
I‘d throw up in excitement if VC (especially N64 and GC) was announced but I am a firm believer in the fact that we‘ll see a subscription-based thing with the paid online service, which is rumored to have been delayed until Fall 2018 so I won‘t get my hopes up.
@stevenw45 At least being able to pin games to the front and not have them fall back as more and more games are added and/or played would be. Other than that, I do love the fact that newer additions are shown at the front and not added to the back as they receive less visibility and thus, less attention by the player. A lot of people would love for there to be some sort of manual sorting option or folders, but I personally wouldn‘t use either.
It sure was a surprise booting up the game in the morning and getting a new version of one of my favorite weapons. I‘d rather have had a tad more offensive sub but the special is good.
Me, my new PS4 Pro and the MHWorld demo - tomorrow! Though while World appears to be quite a departure from the series‘s 3DS installments, I‘d really like to see a Monster Hunter for Switch someday.
Just got a 50€ card from GameStop (I hate holiday shopping, the queue was so long it almost reached out of the store. But it went surprisingly quick aside from one guy who bought a PS4 and a buncha games and a mom who had no idea what these things on Lil Billy's wishlist are and what they look like.) Gonna spend it on Yooka-Laylee and 60 Seconds! (Love that game on PC!)
One of my, if not the, favorite indie game. Stopped playing for Xenoblade 2. Can‘t wait to play it with some peeps on here when the multiplayer update hits.
@Sihy Lots of others have already discussed the idea of a S4 port as opposed to a sequel in the forums but personally, I think, Smash 5 would be impossibly big and its development long and even more tiresome than past entries. Or it'd cut unique characters and other features. With a port, you already have the massive roster of Fighters and Stages of S4 and can pretty much only grow from there with further DLC or an ARMS-kind of update system.
Don‘t know what to think of it but I‘m among the crowd who like Smash more for the crossover factor rather than the actual fighting. Thus, doesn‘t really interest me.
Got the Mutant Mudds Collection because of the preorder discount. Yooka-Laylee and The End is Nigh (alongside a bunch of other eShop titles, LA Noire and Battlefront 2) will follow next week on Christmas.
Never've been a fan of it. Too many bad memories of Chargers camping at that little tower in the middle and dominating the entire game. But then again, there haven't been as many safe spots for Chargers in S2 so I'll def check it out.

N‘Zap and Forge Splattershot Pro getting a buff? God yes, finally something good comes from these updates and not just nerfs to my favorite weapons!

Re: That Freedom Planet Tease Really Was A Joke, But Dev Is Now Exploring Options
Just do it! Stop whatever you‘re doing, put the sequel on ice, this NEEDS to be on Switch (alongside its sequel, of course!).
Re: Super Chariot Arrives On The Switch Later This Year
Played it on Steam, definitely gonna get this on Switch.
Re: South Park: Fractured But Whole Coming to Switch on 13th March, says Aussie retail listing
Double dipping so hard on this if true!
Re: Video: Get Ready To Crack The Case With Detective Pikachu In The Latest Trailer
Interested but considering my 3DS's collecting dust since March, I doubt I'd play it much. Gimme that amiibo, though! Give it now!
Re: SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy Brings Two-On-Two Fighting Action To Switch
@nilcam Oh, didn‘t know that. Hopefully KOF15 makes the jump, whenever that‘s coming.
Re: Praise The Sun! Dark Souls: Remastered Is Coming To Switch This May
The only Souls games I‘ve played and finished are Bloodborne and DS3. Definitely giving this a shot!
Re: Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana Brings An Epic Quest To Switch This Summer
Played Ys 7 on my Vita but it got boring pretty quickly. Might give this a shot. The new camera angle makes things already look more interesting, that‘s for sure.
Re: Mario Tennis Aces Brings A GBA-Style Story Mode To Switch
Already looks way better than Ultra Smash. Definitely looking forward to it!

Re: SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy Brings Two-On-Two Fighting Action To Switch
But .. why, though? Why only girls? Can‘t we get KOFXIV on Switch!? It can‘t be that hard.

Re: Rumour: Dark Souls Remastered Will Be Announced Today In A Nintendo Direct Mini
@gcunit Chibi‘s on fire, fiery imagery is shown and lore often deals with fire in Dark Souls. Just sayin, though.
Re: Rumour: Dark Souls Remastered Will Be Announced Today In A Nintendo Direct Mini
These rumors are starting to get even more on my nerves than those NX rumors. Just give‘em their Direct already, Nintendo, we know you have it!
Aside from that. Oh YES, please give it to me, Nintendo!
Also, the Chibi Robot on fire makes sense now.
Re: Nintendo Direct Hype Is Slowly Turning The Internet Insane
At this point, this Direct better announce Half-Life 3 on Switch or all this hype was for none.
Re: The Gorgeous Old Man's Journey Is Striding Gamely Towards Switch
Never heard of it but you can call me interested at the very least.
Re: Shellendorf Institute Comes to Splatoon 2 Tomorrow
This is the thing I've been waiting for from the entire December update. Having this dino skeleton hanging above the stage is just awesome. Too bad tomorrow will be the only day of the week I'm away so I can't play until late evening.
Re: Soapbox: Why You Should Consider Catching Big Air With Wii's Excite Truck
Always was interested in this game but if I remember correctly it never came to Europe.
Re: Video: Check Out This Awesome 340-Hour Time-Lapse Drawing Of All 800+ Pokémon
@daveh30 Software like these typically have several pens, pencils, brushes and such. All of this is done digitally, I presume.

Re: Blatant Splatoon Mobile Rip-Off Has Resurfaced in China
Dem thigg legs on those rip-off inklings, though, boi!
Seriously, though, the only thing more hideous than those off-brand Inklings is the music.

Re: Brawlout Has Passed 50k Sales on the Switch
Good for them. I do hope Smash Bros. 4 DX is revealed (and released!) soon as the appealing aspect of Smash for me is the crossover aspect.

Looking forward to it!
Re: ARMS Version 5.0 Is The Last Content Update The Game Will Recieve
Well, this is surprising and even makes me as someone who hasn‘t played since its launch weekend sad. Was expecting at least a year worth of content.

THIS IS PS4!
Re: Rumour: Burnout Paradise Gets Rated For Switch Release In Brazil
Got it for free on Xbox Live last year. Might check it out there to look if it's worth double-dipping for on Switch.

No Switch release, no buy. Haven't seen my 3DS for more than a few hours since March.
Re: Splatoon 2 Is Getting a New Map Tomorrow
Never've been a fan of it. Too many bad memories of Chargers camping at that little tower in the middle and dominating the entire game. But then again, there haven't been as many safe spots for Chargers in S2 so I'll def check it out.
