@Unit_DTH My biggest issue with Three Houses is that I just want to get to the second half of the game which is the more interesting part but yet you have to keep going through part 1 which is nothing but filler and side quest. The first playthrough is fine but afterwards it pretty brutal.
I'm really loving this game way more than Three Houses. I liked Three Houses but always thought the game as a whole was messy and suffers from too much fluff and boring hub world.
@GrailUK Yeah don't go in expecting anything type of game announcement from Nintendo. After getting literally nothing from them last year I doubt they will show anything at the Game Awards.
I'm happy for people that do end up enjoying these games but I think I'm done with Pokémon for now. My main excitement right now is Fire Emblem Engage which I really do hope we see more of in the next few weeks or soon.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet just aren't looking exciting for me. I really like the Gen 9 Pokémon designs but the graphics still look uninspired and still look like HD 3DS games.
@The_Pixel_King BoTalksMedia has shown some gameplay footage of his experience with the Switch version on his YouTube channel and it seems to run well.
@PessitheMystic Atlus already confirmed both games to be released digitally. It's always that possibility that someone ends up doing physical versions for each seeing as P4 Arena Ultimax got one in Japan
I wish Gamefreak and Pokémon Company would spend more time with these games instead of seeing how many Pokémon games they can shove out in a year. I feel like we're just overloaded with Pokémon games to point where the quality is starting to drop now.
Idk why but I'm not that excited for this game for some reason. Everything that has been revealed so far has just been lackluster and even the overall look of the characters is cheap looking to me.
@Vil You must of completely forgot about Mario Strikers, Mario Kart 8 DLC and Mario+Rabbids. It funny how you complain about the lack of Mario related content but we gotten 3 things this year with Mario so I don't understand the issue with that at all. I do agree they other franchises need to come back but hey you can't always get everything in life.
@Kirby_Girl I also found it funny how Kate mentions of having enough Kirby and Fire Emblem games but loses her mind over more farming simulator games lol. As if we don't already have enough of those games already.
Honestly, stuff like this does nothing for me. The only thing believable to me is a new Fire Emblem game being worked on for 2023, everything else just sounds like predictions and hopes. The last few months have been nothing but rumor after rumor about what is supposed to coming to the Switch and it's starting to become tiring.
I thought Konami abandoned Metal Gear, Castlevania and Silent Hill to focus more on Yu-Gi-Oh games lol. I understand they want to release these games again with improve graphics and resolution but I doubt they would want to leave out Switch.
With all these rumors about TP/WW, Fire Emblem, Metroid Prime Remaster, Kid Icarus Uprising Remaster, Star Fox, F-Zero and Donkey Kong I feel like a general direct has to happen. I feel like we got find out about some of these titles and whether or not it's true along with whatever else is being worked on at the moment.
@KindofaBigDeal Scarlet and Violet looks like Detective Pikachu graphics but HD for the Switch. It's so crazy that Gamefreak still can't make a Pokémon game that looks like a Switch game.
Nintendo would of been better doing the MK8 Deluxe route and just added this as DLC instead of rushing out a sequel for a game that's not needed at the time. Use the time to give people F-Zero, Kid Icarus, Donkey Kong or Star Fox instead of something better off as added content.
Unfortunately, that won't stop people from making more rumors about how the next Nintendo system is supposedly releasing in 2023 or whatever bizarre rumor these people come up with.
@jowe_gw Fire Emblem Awakening was kinda risky for Nintendo in terms of trying some new ideas to the formula. You would think after the success of Fire Emblem Nintendo would try to bring some of these older IPs back. I mean even Pikmin 3 Deluxe and Metroid Dread found some success too on the Switch so it's time to bring some of these other franchises back.
I really hope next year Nintendo focuses on franchises that haven't been shown a lot of love on Switch. My main issue is that Nintendo just focus too much on the same stuff when they have so much more that could probably find some new success with the Switch.
I never thought this game was coming out this year. I mean I do find it weird that they would delay it until 2023 but I guess with so many games releasing in the last half of the year they decided against releasing it this year for better sales.
@Judal27 The character designs look fine. Stop trying to find something negative to say about the game. Everything that was shown is a step up from the previous games which I already like.
I definitely feel like a trailer and release date is dropping either tomorrow or within the next couple of days. After that random Kirby announcement I feel like Nintendo is going back to just randomly dropping trailers and announcements. They're slowly revealing their fall lineup with these weirdly moves which is kinda annoying tbh.
@JessieAouV Syluxhunter was right about Mario Kart 8 Expansion Pass along with Nier and Persona being in the Nintendo Direct Mini so I would say this person seems to be trustworthy for the time being. Samus Hunter has been wrong so many times to the point that it's so obvious that person just get their information from other people to pass on as their own.
After that questionable Nintendo Direct Mini last month it seems that Nintendo truly needs E3 in order to put out an full length Direct. I really hope Nintendo gets their act together because they've just been focusing on the same 4 or 5 games for like the last month or so. You still have stuff like Bayonetta 3 with no release date.
@Rika_Yoshitake I agree. GameXplain needs to do better with their videos, they really do make videos on anything just to have something uploaded for the day. Andre definitely ain't paying his employees but yet want them to upload pointless videos.
I'm actually surprised with how much work they did with remastering this game. I was expecting a slight upgrade with the 3D models similar to the other FF ports but man this is almost a different game now compared to the original version.
But you never know though with Nintendo. I could see them focusing on other franchises like Zelda and Metroid to switch things up a bit in the last half of the year to kinda give something for everyone.
The character models look completely different from past Fire Emblem games so I can definitely believe Gust being apart of this game. The protagonist reminds me of the main character from SMT 5 to the point where I could see it being some fan made game. At the end of the day nothing is truly confirmed or legit until Nintendo confirms it themselves or reveals it.
I thought Fire Emblem Shadow and the Blade of Light was meant to be the anniversary game? I doubt Nintendo and Intelligent System were trying to release another mainline game a year after Three Houses. It's kinda obvious though that another mainline Fire Emblem game is on the way for the Switch.
@ModdedInkling I mean they normally release a new mainline game every 2-3 years so it would kinda make sense in a way. The first Fire Emblem Warriors and Echoes came out in the same year so Nintendo could be trying to do something similar again.
I was really hoping that Billy would recover from this and would continue to his career. I'm so heartbroken by this but at the same time I'm glad that he was able to show the world his talent of voice acting through anime and video games. Playing Three Hopes and hearing his voice is going to hit so different now knowing we lost such a great person.
@Anti-Matter You can't talk about what games people should be playing when you're the same guy that plays pre school and children games. The reason people love Earthbound so much is because it's a great series with amazing characters.
Come on Nintendo Life, you guys should know that anyone can just post something on the internet. Idk why you guys keep posting about these people who don't even give any resource about where the information came from. Newmarkomaro doesn't even have the best track recorded when it comes to these things lol.
Just like Catherine and 13 Sentinels it will come to the Switch eventually. I mean come on now the Switch is known for Atlus support and I'm sure this will come soon enough.
It would be cool If you were able to choose a house to lead in 3Hopes just like in 3Houses which would kinda be cool tbh. I just hope it doesn't suffer from frame rate issues like Age of Calamity did.
