Can we just stop with the whole "This UNANNOUNCED game is cancelled"?
It's the third one in the span of a month.
First Banjo-Kazooie, then FFIX and now this.
It's just so dumb. You could say that about anything and it could be the truth.
I'm pretty sure they won't do that, but it would be cool to have the first one on NSO before this one comes out. I have no idea what to expect and never played it on GameCube.
I was worried this was gonna ends up being extremely bad.
But apparently it's actually good? I'll pick this up later down the line.
Almost sad that Bananza comes out next week, as that will certanly have precedence.
@DangoTown As an obvious ignorant on the matter, as I didn't spend too much time on New Leaf, can't the same thing be said about New Leaf not having stuff from New Horizon tough?
The best part to me was exactly that it wasn't just the same AC for GameCube but with even more stuff in it, like every single AC has been.
@DangoTown I don't know what you're talking about. As someone who loved AC on GameCube and DS, I found the Wii and 3DS games to be boring and too much samey to the others, to the point that I didn't play them at all after a dozen of hours.
@Tayrailbridge and that was what killed the franchise to me.
Every time they tried to do something cool (I actually really love Adventures, Assault and Command) the fans would always complain that it wasn't as good as SF64.
@Jamie64326 that's not the point. If you make a "regular" game and someone says that it should have been better as a Visual Novel it means that's the gameplay it's garbage.
We really need a collection of all Guilty Gear to get on all of the Story. And also because it's cool to have all the version of the games, even if half of them are mostly the same game but with less characters.
Used to always play GGX at the Arcade. And played a bit of GG Isuka, GG DS (this one is always forgot by everyone) and Accent Core Plus.
@JR150 That's how I felt with Smash Brothers. If I'm playing this it's because I want Sonic characters. Happy you said Tikal too, because I always thought she had an amazing design, wished they used her more.
Just want to share with everyone how much I'm terrified at the idea of unlocking the AF Cup in F-Zero GX.
The CPU destroys me completely already on Expert and I can't reach 1st place in a single race. And you're telling me that beating the cups on Expert unlock MASTER that is even more difficult?
I wanted to settle the score with this game, as I could never beat it as a kid. But that is never happening isn'it?
I feel like the game is asking me to become as good as a top 1% competitive player. It's insane. Story Mode already became extremely hard on chapter 4 and I'm not even halfway through.
Not complaining btw, just saying how absolutely crazy hard this game is.
@solarwolf07 you can personalize what you can see and not see. There's even a spoiler mark in case you don't want to see certain things on the map. Personally I have activated only the miniboss on the Maps and the Koroks seed for example.
Used for the first time yesterday and it's honestly an amazing added value.
I can already see myself spending a good 100 more hours into the game just going around collecting all the stuff that I missed in my first 250hours.
Too bad some achievements are not retroactive and I have to get them all again. Don't know if I'm doing stuff like "Collecting 3000 materials" again, or stuff similar to that.
The best Mario Kart and it's not even debatable to me.
Being able to connect every tracks make it so that you can make so many custom Grand Prix that I never get bored. There's still so many road that I have yet to try.
4- great Gameplay improvement but boring characters.
5- Dropped After 10 hours out of boredom, too slow and boring characters.
Frontier- Dropped
Tides of Destiny - haven't played it.
@missingno_fgc I feel exactly the same about 3 and 4.
4 have better dungeons, gameplay and music, but the entire cast is sooooo much less appealing than 3.
@TheSaneInsanity not down, in fact the opposite.
With Ryza they realized that making the main characters more grown up and with bigger assets (both up and down) actually sell a boatload more of copies, so they the go that route.
I mean Atelier Yumia has obviously a bunch of extremely sexualize characters too, especially compared to the series before Ryza.
Why are people even buying the original release of Disgaea at this point. There's always a compelte edition about 2 years later.
@JohnnyMind if you plan on playing the series, don't worry about the people saying that they're 200 to 400 hours of content. As someone who played most of them only with the main Story (except for Disgaea 1 and 2), they're amazing games even without the optional stuff.
I would almost say that the post-game is extremely overrated, as it's just you grinding for 190 hours to get insane stats on everything and 10 hours of actual maps with optional Bosses.
Honestly happy to be able to play the original and not be forced with the remaster as I thought they would.
I actually prefer much more the original Triforce Hunt. Is where the game completely open ups and it really feels like you're a treasure hunter finding out clues everywhere as to where the pieces are. Never liked how it was made shorter and simplier on Wii U.
I can see why some people would see the lack of the faster sailing as a negative tough, despite personally loving sailing around the sea at a slower pace. It just has a great mood.
Btw I haven't played this since the Wii U release, so it's gonna be fun. 🙏
@Mgalens yeah a translated collection of the 4 Goemon for the SNES would be amazing. I already played them with the fantranslation, but I would buy it instantly.
@Mgalens I don't even know anymore about a Goemon Revival. At this point just port the old ones on NSO or something. I don't want to see it remake with a cheap graphical style.
Would you reccomend this to someone who loved 3 and 4, but dropped 5 after 10 hours? There's just something off about that game that I can't pinpoint that made me really bored while playing. Maybe being in 3D made everything slower to do, with more animations and bigger locations, I just felt like I was wasting to much time doing stuff that wasn't fun.
@RupeeClock it's disappointing, but honestly who asked for a remake of YL?
That seemed such a random announcement, and they're even putting far more time and resource in it than necessary. That should have been a quick project to re-release the original with nicer graphics and some improvements while they focus more on the sequel, but it's treated as their next big game.
While I love YL and have bought it on day one on both PC and Switch, it's no wonder that it's not doing well.
@FlyingDunsparce you forgot that most people probably have sold it, have it somehwere in the basement (and maybe it doesn't even work anymore), and also the sensor bar most likely lost or something. Oh and also they would have to buy the game from someone on ebay.
Like, compared to just boot the console you already have and having it in already.
Yeah While I love both Yooka-Laylee, they haven't released a new game in 4/5 years? I'm sure some people there don't need to work on a remake for that long.
To be honest. At this point I hope more for a Hunters remake than Prime 2-3.
I mean the latter are coming sooner or later anyway via the NSO. But a full remake of Hunters, with it's awesome multiplayer, would be the best thing ever. Maybe even make the multyplayer part of the game free to play, just to make people check it out and maybe make them want to buy the main games.

Re: Ys X: Proud Nordics Reportedly Includes 120fps Performance Mode On Switch 2

Each entry of this series has become more and more wordy and longer, with slower intro and less non-stop action...

Re: 'Azure Striker Gunvolt Trilogy Enhanced' Announced For Switch
@RextheSheep nah.
People just sell them at huge prices, but they don't actually sell them to anyone usually.
I'm trying to get my hands on the Switch release of Dust:And Elysian Tail, and the same people are trying to sell that overpriced for 5/6 years.

Re: Look, Maybe We Should Stop Asking For A Sonic Adventure Remaster
This is one of those silly moments where SH always wants to go big and spend a lot of money for something nobody asked for.
Just make a cool remaster with updated QoL features, better texture and some extra content and you're good to go.
But no, they must remake the entire game from the ground up, maybe even make it open world with all the levels interconnected etc...
And then you wonder why they all complain about spending too much and not making back the money.

Re: Poll: So, Have You Used Zelda Notes Yet?
@solarwolf07 you can personalize what you can see and not see. There's even a spoiler mark in case you don't want to see certain things on the map.
Personally I have activated only the miniboss on the Maps and the Koroks seed for example.
Re: Poll: So, Have You Used Zelda Notes Yet?
@gwyntendo check the achievements descriptions. Some carry over from ver.1.0. Other achievements are activated from the last update onward.
Re: Poll: So, Have You Used Zelda Notes Yet?
Used for the first time yesterday and it's honestly an amazing added value.
I can already see myself spending a good 100 more hours into the game just going around collecting all the stuff that I missed in my first 250hours.

Re: Another Atelier Game Is Coming To Switch This September, Here's A "First Look"
@Samalik i'm sorry, but if you can't clearly see the change in characters design from Ryza onward I don't know what to say.
Before people say that I don't know the series well. I've been playing it since Atelier Iris 3 on PS2 and Mana Khemia 1/2.
Of course not every single entry, but I did play like 7 of them (and have bought all the Trilogy for PS3 so I know at the very least the characters).
Re: Another Atelier Game Is Coming To Switch This September, Here's A "First Look"
@TheSaneInsanity not down, in fact the opposite.

Nobody is going to buy this. It looks likes a generic e-shop garbage game made with AI.
This stylistic decision is so absurd, especially because the anime style the originals had get more and more popular every year.
Just slap a bunch of cute anime girls and you already made 1000% more sales than this ever will on that alone.
