Hmm never heard of them but sound cool. Would be nice to get overpriced and rarely discounted games like Pikimin 3 Deluxe and Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze. The games are worth it if you haven’t played them before but not if you have
Will eventually pick this up. It looks great and even though some of the scores are mid, even the great SpongeBob games in the past were the same way and they classic ones were usually great.
Funny enough I also saw the VA for Céline had this same exact issue. I received my order just fine thankfully but sorry they had issues getting it when it should of been handed to them.
It’s an awesome game really, story is solid so far but it’s definitely not amazing or anything. Other than that this game does well on so many aspects. It’s also very comedic at times more surprisingly.
Really impressed with the game so far. It has its strengths that make it better than Three Houses like combat and graphics and it’s weakness like what has so far been a weaker story. I like the story so far it just seems to pull a lot narratives out of thin air and is complex. Three Houses had a library that gave a lot of backstory that this game doesn’t have.
Also this game is much harder than Three Houses was to me. The Tiki paralogue was so hard I couldn’t even finish it. The sit up mini game was way harder than the other two with its button mashing and I won’t be doing that one often.
David Mataranga plays some awesome roles, especially one as the main character in the anime Clannad. I always find it cool seeing the VA’s and if they are in some of your favorite past shows and games.
While I was familiar with a few, I was unfamiliar with most of this cast but they all seem excellent so far!
I saw a little bit of it because unfortunately I am just so darn curious but after seeing a pretty big spoiler I have removed all sense of curiosity to look further. Hope I don’t hear much else and am looking forward to the reviews tomorrow!
I hope they fix the connection issues cuz it sucks. Makes trying to find a match irritating when you get a guaranteed connection error followed by a likely combo of having two or three more
Don’t see any reason for them to launch the next console till at least 2025. Probably will be the same base console instead of a new gimmick and name like they usually do.
Console power and backwards capability would be the biggest need for the upgrade.
Didn’t get to read all that but are they having a live crowd by any chance? They haven’t had that in years and I started to realize how unwatchable it is without it, even if they can be cringey.
Also missing some key games like SM64 and OOT. Those two games never get old to see a speedrun of
Physical is truly great for less data to install on the system and you get the neat box and cartridge, other than that digital is better in almost every other way with how instant you can get it and you don’t have to switch out cartridges
I didn’t like it when I first heard it which was just the second half of the the song but after hearing it all it’s growing on me and I think I like it. Just hope that’s the only song like that in the game lol
Loving everything about this game. If there is any negatives perhaps the story won’t be quite as good as Three Houses but it remains to be seen. Music might not be quite as good as Three Houses either but I thought that game had an all time great soundtrack, so definitely much to live up to.
Think this game will be fantastic when all said and done. Really interesting to see how the later half of the game will play out with evil Alear and whatever else happens.
Love the first one and Splatoon 3! Didn’t get into the 2nd one at all and that may of been just a me thing rather than the game.
I absolutely hate trying to connect to a game in 3 however. Don’t get to attached to being in a fun/competitive lobby because this game will disconnect your lobby the moment you feel that!
@Finntendo @dew12333
Well just how are they able to purchase the dlc and whatnot? I get that they are able to save card information on whatever platform that they are on but again that is their own fault and ultimately the parents fault for letting that happen.
I should add that this is a good thing to protect consumers mainly minors but seems there is not much responsibility on the consumers themselves.
At the end of the day people ultimately make their own decisions whether they purchase something like this or not. Not trying to defend this company and it’s greedy tactics but at the same time I do not see what they are doing wrong.
Hopefully the courts throw away this case out like last weeks trash. Absolutely ridiculous if they’re suing with this as their claim. Developers goal is always to make a game profitable and alluring to gamers, whether it’s overly addictive is the fault of the parent or the person themself.
I’ll get it but can’t say that I want to pay 30$ for it either. In no where near as annoyed as half of this comment section and am glad that we’ll get this at all.
Didn’t realize we’d get an additional story in wave 4 until reading this article so that’ll make it feel more worth the value.

Re: Nintendo "Currently Investigating" Fire Emblem Engage Relay Trials Bug
I have barely played this mode so far just because there is so much to do in the main story. So no rush for it to be fixed for me.
Re: A New Fire Emblem Datamine Has Possibly Uncovered A Gap In The Main Timeline
Could be a lot of things. Three Houses sequel or Engage prequel? Would be cool but doubtful

I think a 9/10 is about right

Re: Nintendo Provides A Look At Switch's Games Line-Up For 2023
Fire Emblem Engage will dominant the year for me!
Of course I’ll get TOTK but also interested in Octo 2, MDA Rain Code, and SpongeBob.
Pikmin 4 will be great as well but I have a feeling it won’t be out this year.

Can’t wait for them to release this in English at some random time that is more than a week from now - or not at all.

Re: Zelda amiibo Listings Surface Online Ahead Of Tears Of The Kingdom Release
Not an amiibo guy at all myself. They seem cool for a character or game that you absolutely adore but to get more than a few seems so pointless.

Re: Mini Review: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 3 - The Best Set Of Tracks Yet
They did a great job on the 3DS Rainbow Road. I love the rainbow design they did for the road itself - really puts the other rainbow roads to shame.
Berlin Byways is Great, London Loop is dull like mentioned, and Peach Gardens is solid and liked what they did for the last lap.
The rest I haven’t played yet but am looking forward to them.
