I would have bought switch 1 physical version and upgraded or purchased the switch 2 version if it wasn’t a game key card. It feels like I am reading the same sentiment online. I don’t want to make a purchase with the current offerings.

@molkom +1 for Nier Automata

I would have happily paid for an upgrade path but I will not double dip. As an early supporter, this just feels bad. Shin Megami Tensei 5 (from base game to Vengeance) and Suikoden (from switch 1 to switch 2) are games that also didn’t offer upgrade paths.

@KayFiOS thanks! I was able to secure a pre-order just now.

Dang, sold out!

I picked up a limited edition of The Hundred Line to show the devs support. I hope it continues to do well and gets the sales numbers it needs to keep them afloat.

I've heard so much good stuff about it. Being able to play any game on the go is a huge plus, I would love for this to happen.

I had not heard of this game prior to reading the article but I was intrigued by what I read and checked out a bunch of reviews. I bought a limited edition physical copy from GameStop to show the devs support.

I am interested but I already have a different versions of callie and marie and pearl and marina so this feels a little lazy.

I thought Kamiya's involvement with Bayo 3 was minimal? He sure is getting a lot of hate from what I'm reading. I thought all of the series he's associated with had him heavily involved in the 1st entries and less so for the sequels.

I highly recommend reading platinum’s tw101 blog tips and tricks 25 and 26. https://www.platinumgames.com/official-blog/games/the-wonderful-101/

Every enemy has an audio or visual tell - once the game clicks you’ll find that you can avoid every attack, even from off screen.

It isn’t intuitive that they lock dodge and block in the beginning; you have to unlock these crucial moves from the in-game store...at least from what I recall from the Wii U version but that changes everything.

This was originally released on the Wii U against metal gear solid 5 at the time and left to die but this game is a real gem if you give it a chance.

There are always two sides to every story and Dangen’s actions seemed reasonable after the update to this article. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Bastion was the only game I ever bothered to 100% on Steam and Transistor is fun but I haven’t played it that much yet. I’m glad supergiant games is bringing some of their stuff over to switch.

If Nintendo stays in the game long enough they'll catch up in power with diminishing returns. It's already starting to happen...I think.

I'm not sure if it has been said but I doubt he meant it literally killed Iwata. I'm assuming he meant it bothered Iwata. Poor choice of words but I feel that people are overreacting; take a step back, you all probably know what he intended to say.

Everybody has already said it but I hope they don't leave out a 2nd analog stick.

Miifoto is glorious and could stand on its own two feet but I can't imagine how to monetize it which is probably why it's part of Miitomo. It's fun and miifoto is where I'll spending most of my time, there isn't much to Miitomo itself.

If Nintendo could secure a version of Fifa that was either the definitive version or on par with the other consoles that would be all I need.

Aren't horror titles niche? I recall Jools mentioning that the series as a whole under performed sales wise. As a creator he seems to be pushing pretty hard for the genre/series but I am not too optimistic about Dementium's prospect. He probably wants to make something other than platformers and I can appreciate that.

For those of you that couldn't get into TW101 I recommend looking up Saur's YouTube tutorials (3-part video) and reading Platinum's Blog, Entries 25 & 26 (Tips & Tricks).

You may be thinking to yourself that having to do so much work in order to "get" the game may be a bit much but you get what you put into the game. Think of the inputs as you would a fighting game and learn to draw with the right analog stick while holding the L button and you'll be mastering the mechanics in no time. Edit* It's also not immediately obvious but the first 2 abilities you should purchase are block and dodge - you don't start with either of those abilities.

I considered the first play through of the game as a warm up - also don't be afraid to play through the game on easy the first time around!

The guys over at 8-4 have a podcast and they sometimes discuss localization and barely scratch the surface of what goes into it as it's mostly a discussion about Japanese games. These are the guys that localized Fire Emblem Awakening and just listening to some of their experiences is eye-opening to what goes on behind the scenes and how much work is truly involved.

The demo is available on the NA eShop and so far it's the classic Etrian Odyssey experience. EO4 is still my favorite but if you like this style of game then Untold 1 & 2 will be right up your alley. If you never liked the series on the DS to begin with I'm not sure if the updated experience starting with 4 will win you over...

I've played Splatoon almost every day since launch and reached level 20 and A+99 in ranked in a reasonable amount of time. I've completed the single player, found every sunken scroll, and completed all the amiibo challenges. From what I'm reading in some of the responses some people would say that there's little reason for me to come back to the game since I have achieved "everything" but I don't find that to be true. I have made every item I own 3 sockets and I'm currently working on perfect rolls for the gear that has an affinity for specific sub abilities. I also play regularly with a forum of highly skilled players and the best thing about PvP is that no game plays out the same.

Before the patch this game was just ok but post patch it's great and that's not necessarily reflected in the review scores floating out there. I would like to try the game with the FE Amiibo but they're insanely hard to find.

The patch did wonders for the game, I wish some of the reviews out there would revisit Code Name S.T.E.A.M. post patch. I would like to try all the FE Amiibo characters but they're extremely hard to find in my area.

After reading the comments section of the article written about how the developers of Monochroma dropped support for many platforms it's clear that not many people understand how Kickstarter works. As Kingrat says, pledges can be dropped towards the end of a campaign and Kickstarter projects actually take that scenario into consideration.

Broken Age, Pillars of Eternity, Wasteland 2, Shovel Knight, FTL: Faster Than Light, Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, The Banner Saga, and Divinity: Original Sin are games that were successful due to Kickstarter off the top of my head. Mighty No. 9, Torment: Tides of Numenera, & Yooka-Laylee are on the way. Yes I am skeptical of many Kickstarted projects but there are always risks associated with such projects so I'm surprised when people get caught by surprise when something goes awry. The Yogscast fiasco comes to mind.

Intelligent Systems has yet to let me down and this demo has confirmed that they're not about to start now with STEAM.

I will play it on the 3DS but I feel longer play sessions (comfort of controller, big screen), typing, and using the mic are better suited for consoles. MH4U having online changes none of these things for me. You keep hearing how the West is big on console gaming and Capcom is trying to expand MH's popularity here so...

@StarDust4Ever I received an Amiibo survey even though I haven't registered my copy of Super Smash Bros for Wii U (I don't own it for the 3DS).

During the Mega Man sale I was out of town with enough eShop credit for both Mega Man 6 & 7. However, I wasn't going to make it back home in time before the sale ended. I browsed the website to find a limited selection of VC titles available for purchase through Nintendo's website so I called them to see what options were available to me. In the end they told me to have somebody access my Wii U to purchase it for me - not exactly the best or even a reasonable solution. Glad to see they're making progress.

If you're a mega fan and not lucky enough to receive an e-mail than those that are listing the new 3DS are allowing you to get a product that you had no chance of getting before. These people were selected and they gave their money to Nintendo to purchase the system. What they do with it afterwards is up to them and there's clearly a demand for these systems. I am in NA so this situation doesn't apply to me but screaming out for these people to be crucified is ridiculous.

I've known about this game since release but seeing continuing developer support has finally pushed me to download this game and check it out.

So...I pre-ordered Hyrule Warriors from Amazon for the Twilight Princess outfits. Does this mean I should just go with Best Buy or GameStop and get this DLC instead when it's released?

Normally I would wait on something that scores in the 7 range but I tried the demo and fell in love so I'm definitely keeping my pre-order.

I use the data transfer tool all the time to play my character on both systems. I would definitely get this on the Wii U if it were true; I actually would prefer a Wii U version over the 3DS.

EO would transition to the Wii U really well!

The M2 interviews are always fun to read and their ports of SEGA's classics put Nintendo's to shame. The amount of effort involved in recreating these is crazy.

Definitely interested in picking this up now.

It was a tough call affecting a small but vocal minority. I'm glad they're offering the Steam version for free.

This game is amazing. I love that Image & Form takes the time to make an account and interact with the communities of whatever website providing coverage for SteamWorld Dig.
