@ArcticEcho The one time of note I can think of is the Switch/PS4 version of Alien Isolation, where the Switch had a better image quality.

@AnnoyingFrenzy It wouldn't surprise me if we get a dedicated wired mouse accessory (to plug into the new USB-C port on the top) which would be a more comfortable experience, but having it built into the standard controllers as a baseline functionality means that third parties can develop games without having to worry about smaller market sizes.

@Boogaloo_Jenkins It absolutely had been leaked a thousand times over. Digital Foundry had a full teardown of the system months before reveal.

@johnedwin Not a single person with a realistic outlook on the next Nintendo hardware thought this would be the case.

@solarwolf07 It's not that they're overpriced so much as there's a price floor for manufacturing new physical games. The licensing costs aren't cheap.

That being said, Nine Sols is 30USD on the EShop and I imagine, going from past Fangamer releases, this will likely be 40. So the gap this time won't be too bad.

@PessitheMystic He's bringing it up now because he was invited to speak on a podcast about his experience working with Retro/Nintendo.

@RubyCarbuncle Sure, nothing he says right now is going to change anything but as someone who used to run one of these companies he's going to know a heck of a lot more than we do and have some interesting insights.

@Elbow He might still have a contract in place for a number of future projects. I think this moreso means don't expect any Kickstarter projects to appear going forward that are like, "Grant Kirkhope decided to hang out with us!!"

Won't turn down discounted EShop codes. Literally free money. Appreciate y'all have been able to turn this into a semi-regular thing.

I'd love to see second opinions pop up more frequently in reviews.

@PessitheMystic On the other hand, after years of seeing short games being punished for being short, I'm pretty excited to see it considered a pro for once.

Fairy Tail and Edens Zero? Come now, properly credit this man for his good work and give Rave Master the pedestal it deserves.

I'm also in the party that Tooie is the better game and I'll happily die on that hill. One of the most interesting examples of interconnectivity between levels I've seen in a platformer and still hasn't been beaten.

@Serpenterror Platform owners can absolutely remove digital content from your console. Sony did it with a bunch of films/shows from Discovery when their license expired last year.

Nintendo also has the capability to do so. My younger brother once snagged my dad's credit card to grab a Pokemon game off the 3DS EShop. Dad found out and managed to call customer service for a refund and they pulled the license for the game.

@Serpenterror Good God what a painful video to watch.

@Serpenterror This is quite literally a brand new track made this year.

@GMMXX Sir this is a Wendy's.

@Yoshi3 The problem with upgrades replacing previous versions is that they tend to cost more energy to summon. Losing access to low energy summons limits experimentation and also disincentivizes exploration. Can you imagine how lame it would feel to discover a mini dungeon , fight your way through, and then defeat the boss, only to discover that the echo you get supersedes an old standby and now you can't summon it because of the higher energy cost?

Little Nightmares 2 is a very solid port. Ni No Kuni runs fine but is very disappointing in its lack of any sort of improvement over the original release. It doesn't even boost resolution in docked mode versus handheld.

@Zach777 With Aspyr doing the remaster it is all but guaranteed that LRG will be picking up publishing duties.

@DripDropCop146 Bahaha no worries dude. I have seen people say that unironically about delays of other releases and the Internet is full of insane people so at this point I take most comments at face value.

@DripDropCop146 They probably found a bug at the last second and weren't able to squash it in time. No point delaying other platforms and having everyone feel bad.

@sunny63 I think it's more baffling he's here.

@ImGrenadeMan The king was in the last trailer. Unless he's another Daphnes rather than Rhoam.

@Apebitmusic Eurogamer's preview mentions the stuttering is still there.

If my copy of Cassette Beasts from SRG hadn't been delivered today then I'd be hopping on this. Was waiting for reviews to see if it delivered on the vibes.

@Zealv2 Same, I'm sure Super Rare Games will get their hands on this and Build.

@B238ben I think the point is to make you shake up your team and not just use the same two or three party members every mission.

@Bunkerneath If you don't mind importing, Play-Asia seems to have a physical version of the game with English as an option. It was only like 20 bucks when I saw it the other day.

Developer Bloober Team (Layers Of Fear, Blair Witch Project, The Medium, Observer) also just dropped that they're working on a game for Nintendo Switch. So this is p connected with that. They mention that it's a collaboration, "with the world’s best game creators for Nintendo platforms."

@Joshie0234 One of the guys over at Digital Foundry did a write up earlier this year based on the Japanese release and said that the Switch version is a pretty huge improvement over previous games.

@Fangleman32 Wind Waker and BoTW both being cell shaded is a long way from being the same art style.

Nor is TP the same as OOT and MM.

"Is it what fans want?"

Uhh yeah. Yeah it is.

It'll release when it does. No point filling yourself with rage over it not having released yet. Plenty of other things to do in the meantime.

@Kimyonaakuma Japan weekly sales came out today and the Switch version was the highest selling game this week. If that pattern holds true in other markets it looks like it's about 50% Switch, 40-45% PS4+5, and some leftover for Xbox.

@LadyCharlie This was the only thing I was thinking about through the entire presentation.

@russell-marlow I mean, they've made one single open world samurai game that came out four years ago. Hard to say that that's all they want to do. Let's give them a minute to see what they do next.

Very interested in Caravan Sand Witch but I've got little confidence it will actually run well on Switch. I really hope I'm wrong.

@Bonggon5 For real, I love the idea of everything they've done for the commentary here, but I cannot imagine anyone I'd less like to listen to Jonathon Blow.

@shgamer We don't want Embracer anywhere near Mikami. Or anyone else to be honest.

There are a lot of opinions to have, but not liking Keanu Reeves is an objectively terrible one. Literally one of the best and kindest people out there.

@Freek The main character of Treasure has some of the most awkward running and climbing animations I've ever seen for a game about parkour.

I will agree that the art in that game can sometimes be very pretty though.

I suppose that backtracking for info could also be heavily cut down with ample use of the screenshot button.

@Manguy888A At some point the game has to be called "done" so it can be submitted to Nintendo for approval. And because publishers set deadlines and sometimes they can't be moved.

So devs get it close enough in the allotted time and push out what they have and fix what they can later. Given the game has only been out a month and this is a pretty big patch, they probably submitted the 1.0 to Nintendo and immediately went to work on these fixes.

@Lizuka By the time this releases we'll be, at the earliest, three years out from Legends Arceus. That's a pretty solid chunk of time.

@WaffleRaptor01 Telling someone, "well keep hope alive, cause it won't be happening anytime soon for sure," is condescending.

@WaffleRaptor01 I wasn't using the comment of anyone in particular here. Just calling out the general condescending attitude towards another community member and developer. Because even without the language the same energy still exists.

The number of people in these comments saying keep dreaming idiot have clearly missed the number of times in the last couple years that Nintendo has let other devs use their IP to make games. Like Johnny said, we got Cadence Of Hyrule a couple years ago from a Canadian studio. And Metroid Dread from a studio in Spain.

Everyone sitting here calling it garbage but like...multiple previews have already released saying that it's really good.
