Re: Soapbox: Marvel Vs. Capcom Was The Unsung Hero Of The June Nintendo Direct

@Noelemahc
Yeah it's kinda surprising honestly. Kids love Nintendo and Marvel so you'd think it would've happened before now.

Maybe that's why Capcom waited for the Nintendo Direct to reveal this because they know Nintendo fans are the most likely to buy this since we've never had these games and kids are the most likely to jump on the hype train for Spidey and Mega Man if they play Lego Marvel and Smash on Switch.

Re: Vanillaware's Unicorn Overlord Has Now Sold Over 500k Units Worldwide

It's a great game and well-deserved. My only gripe is the lack of meaningful outcomes with the in game choices and that the main story missions are few and far between.

Other than that though, the game is amazing and it deserves its fame. 500K in one month for a tactical RPG that isn't Fire Emblem is impressive.

Re: UK Charts: Unicorn Overlord Makes The Top Ten And Sells Best On Switch

JR150

Doesn't surprise me at all that it's selling better on Switch. Nintendo seemed to be the only platform company that heavily marketed it to the point where the demo for UO launched on Switch first right after the Direct a day before other platforms.

Beyond that, Xbox and PS gamers are likely already preoccupied with recent big RPG releases such as Yakuza Infinite Wealth, Persona 3 Reload, and FF7 Rebirth. Since none of those games are on Switch, there's virtually no competition for Unicorn on this platform since Switch owners have no other major RPG to buy right now.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Switch version of UO sold best in all regions too. This system is probably the best place for smaller studios like Vanillaware to thrive.

Re: Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Doubles The Length Of The Original

Yeah not buying this until it goes for more than half off. I bought SMT V for 60 dollars. I'm not spending another 60 dollars on a story expansion for a game I've already played.

Make sure you don't buy Tactica, Reload, or Metaphor at launch. I'm almost certain they're going to do this lousy nonsense again.

Re: Fire Emblem Engage Artist Celebrates First Anniversary With New Artwork

JR150

Hard to imagine a year has passed already.

Engage was such a great game and a massive step up from Three Houses with far superior gameplay and map designs. Sure, the story was basic but the actual strategy RPG of Engage was so fun that I didn't mind it. Really excited for the future of the series because this game has set a high bar for Fire Emblem gameplay!

Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's New Spirits Have Been Revealed, Out This Week

The people complaining about Trophies missing have to understand that making 3D models and text blurbs for every single object/character took a lot of work considering they had to be translated into various languages from Japanese such as English, Spanish, French, and so on.

While I get why people don't like Spirits, it was a bit unreasonable to expect them to continue adding more and more Trophies when there's so many franchises represented in this game. They weren't going to stay forever. Spirits are a good compromise.
