A terrible render of a terrible artist with random pokemon stuff in the background. That's all this was

Its really ugly. If they were gonna be lazy with this remake, they should've at least used the chibi style from ORAS

Those designs are a great fit for pokemon and even tho it would've instead looked like another 3ds game, at least it would've been better than whatever this is

@Kirgo funny cause this very article starts off with a guy being cautious about a series that's let him down and another guy calls him entitled for thinking sword and shield are bad games lmao

Oh and another 1 where we're called haters and to stop "hating" for not showering gf in praise over finally getting their **** together for once even if just a little

And another guy saying we're absolutely hopeless for criticizing early footage when that didn't change the fact that final sword and shield footage looked exactly the same as early footage lol and there's nothing wrong with pointing out the bad stuff in a trailer that you might be wary of

This still looks like complete crap from a company that makes millions. Where does all the money go from all the milking that was in the beginning of this direct?

That said this is still a bigger step in the right direction than lets go and Sw/Sh ever were. The way they were catching pokemon was something out of my dreams. I will definitely keep an eye on this

This doesn't look worth $60. The style worked well in 2d on DS. Who thought it was a good idea to recreate it in 3d?

Even tho i wanted more xenoblade and not smash, i still ended up buying the 2nd pass because of this reveal (altho i still find it hypocritical how this is seemingly getting off lighter despite still being censorship)

Also I really like how half of the dlc characters have been JRPG characters from games that I've enjoyed lmao. I know it'll get some people mad, but i still hope one of the last 2 characters is another JRPG one

Years ago I'd get hyped thinking about a remake of D&P and also B&W. Now i don't trust them to make the same charming games from the ds era

My head hurts from all the eye rolls i did after reading each sentence

Better late than never i guess. Id much rather see this top charts than that abomination of a JRPG known as pokemon. Its probably the one switch game that made me think "boy am I glad I got a switch"

That said, it's still very much one of the weaker xeno games. The 1st xenoblade is better in almost every way except the location designs. XB2 has gorgeous locations when you can actually see it through the low resolution

I guarantee you i spent more money on the 6-7 switch games and pro controller i have than the 16 ish games i got on sale on ps4 recently

This was the only thing that really caught my attention in that bore of a direct and that's because I've never played it and I'm really itching for a new actual zelda experience after the sour taste BotW left in my mouth

But that pricing is a huge rip off so i won't be buying it right away if at all. So i guess I'll just continue to pirate their 3ds games, and see if any of their switch games go down in price. But if it doesn't oh well, I'm used to my switch collecting dust anyway

Edit: oh yeah ill likely even be able to sell my switch at full price or more in the future, considering ninty fans are ok with being ripped off lmao

@TheFrenchiestFry going by the comparison video on youtube, the loading times on switch are absolutely horrendous compared to ps4. Theyre still double the amount or even more at times.

Its basically reaching sonic 06 levels of load times

@COVIDberry lmao actually i wasn't expecting anything at all. I only hoped to see a tease from monolith's next work which is why that very 1st trailer is such a letdown, and a bit more of smtv

I was surprised by the decent amount of JRPG advertising, it's just a shame not much of it is has me particularly excited and/or is coming to other platforms so I'd play elsewhere

As a JRPG fan, this direct was pretty boring. I think I wouldve preferred an actual xenoblade 2 sequel like i thought it was at 1st over it just being a dlc for a fighting game i rarely play anymore

I'm not too optimistic about triangle strategy considering how generic or just downright bad the story and writing was in octopath. But the style of the game at least fits an SRPG better over an actual JRPG

Legend of mana was neat, can't wait to play a decades old game if it has a physical copy otherwise I'll emulate it

Oh yeah i forgot the most important thing, no smt 5. My most anticipated switch JRPG wasn't even mentioned or teased lol

This and legend of mana were the only decent things in that direct. And that's mainly cause i never got to play either

Probably one of the most boring directs I've had to force myself to sit through

@RadioHedgeFund if you mean links awakening as in with that ugly toy looking design, please no. Minish cap is too good for that

So glad for the capcom leak. I had great ace attorney english patched and ready to go on my 3ds. But i think I'll wait to play it on ps4 1st, then play the fan translation to compare as I hear good things about it

Loved phantom hourglass despite playing it on a tablet so the controls were even more frustrating than usual. It was basically a mini wind waker which is all that i could've wanted from a ds zelda and it worked for the most part

As a huge zelda fan, BotW was a pretty huge disappointment. Combat is extremely basic and the weapon durability is horrible. Weapons are clearly made of plastic because they break so fast. And it's even more lame that most of the weapons enemies have are low tier weapons because the game also lacks a variety of enemies. You're almost always fighting bokoblins and reskins of them

Music is also extremely underwhelming with barely any for "ambience" and what little is there is horrible. The music when you fight mini bosses sounds like someone hitting random piano notes.

There's a lot more issues this game has, especially with how repetitive exploring gets and how little reward it gives for exploring, but even so the Zelda fan in me still hopes BotW 2 can fix the many mistakes it made despite it just looking more of the same. At least ganondorf looks way cooler now

@rjejr no problem but i read wrong again lol. The 30 times only is limited to solo and local going by the website. For online, it says it's playable until the date they set. Kinda weird how they're going about it but I'm just slightly disappointed there's only 2 monsters to hunt instead of the usual 3

You can only play each quest 30 times and there's only 2 of them really... Hopefully there's other monsters roaming in both quests cause the 1st one is going to be too easy

Edit: nvrmind, i think it meant in total you can play 30 times which is still pretty meh

@Ralek85 exactly the main reason I bought my 3ds. As a JRPG fan, i can't see how anyone would think it's not a must own. I still have so many games to get through on it. Easily one of my favorite consoles

@JaxonH wow do you know which trailer? I forget you always have to watch out for any exclusive footage in japanese trailers lol

I still use my 3ds far more than my switch. The library on it is just amazing and that's not even counting when you add in the ability to play gba, ds, nes, snes, and ps1 along with it. It's the almost perfect little machine

@JaxonH unfortunately can't call myself a big MH fan but I've played almost all the demos they've released for the series and loved them all. Just never got around to actually buying them for some reason lol. For sure World is another amazing entry into the series, i do plan to play it once Im done with all the 3ds games.

The trailers for rise have been amazing so far. It looks really nice and clean but that's what I thought about the DQ11 trailers, but the demo didn't look nearly the same. All the scenery fading in and out, from trees and barrels to the actual textures and windows on houses depending on how close you were to it, really put me off the switch version. That doesn't happen on the PS4 version of S

Everything else looks so good though, that i don't see myself not ever playing it, be it switch or pc or any other place. I'm really hoping khezu and gigginox get the update treatment. Its a shame they didn't for world

@JaxonH the leaks are pretty much why I'm not holding my breath. But i don't mind holding off for a pretty long while considering I've got about four games worth of MH to get through on 3ds. And still haven't even played MHW plus the expansion

Im gonna need to try the demo to see for myself how it looks cause I just don't like how pixelated and blurry games look on switch. It's why I never bought DQ11 on it cause I played the demo on both switch and ps4 and the improvements were very noticeable. At least with the 3ds games, theyre on a pure handheld thats extremely weak compared to switch by default. If by then, nothing's announced or talked about ill just get it on switch. That's what i bought the switch for. For any and all exclusives that interest me

Plus Rise looks like another amazing MH. I hope the demo has hidden monsters to fight aside from the 3 hunts like the demos for MHW

Haven't touched my switch since like the beginning of the year. Can't wait to dust it off to try the demo. I recently hacked my 3ds and have been going through MH3U, it's been amazing.

But with Rise and stories 2 coming to pc, im gonna hold off on purchasing the game to see where it'll land. I'm hoping it might land on ps5 eventually but i won't hold my breath

I love both but lean a little more towards 3d just because they actually try more in telling an engaging story to go along with the fun puzzle solving in intricate dungeons and exploring the overworld

Too bad BotW barely has any semblance of what made those 3d games fun so I've been dying to play another good 3d zelda since TP , but I hope 2 makes up for it. Ganon in the trailer lit a small fire of hope in me

The Japanese one is an explosion of characters all over the place and not in a good way. Take out the crowd at the bottom and maybe it'll be passable. It makes sense why they were put, but it's hardly relevant and just makes it so messy

And that actually leaves more space for the more important characters hiding in the corners of the map

I don't want to live in this cruel and twisted reality where we never get a good paper mario game ever again

If it ends up working fine after some while, great. Haven't used my 3ds in a while let alone buy games for it. Hope to try some games I've been interested in, but never got around to buying, assuming itll even work of course

@BlackenedHalo I don't hate it, I just think it's one of the weaker xeno titles. And that's mainly due to the story being very generic especially during the 1st half where it's tropes and cliches straight out of a shounen like fairy tail.

There's issues with it's gameplay mechanics as well but overall, I still liked it enough for it to be one of my favorite games on the switch so far. But the superior XC1 is almost out anyway lol

Even tho XC2 was kinda underwhelming compared to almost any other xeno game, there hasn't been a game I dislike from monolith soft yet

If it's a new ip, im sure itd turn out fun, but I'm also hoping its more Xenoblade goodness

@Saro whatever monetary practices it has and it's performance aren't the only things it's getting criticism for. Altho Kirby's online mode being bad should definitely still warrant criticism

I was mainly referring to the actual gameplay limitation they were talking about

Harsh. Wonder how the free to play Kirby game fared. What with them being pretty similar in limitations

10/10. It's the only acceptable outcome when Zelda is one of my favorite series of all time

Gotta be honest though, I guessed on that last one lol. I remember seeing his last name before but it isn't like I'm gonna go out of my way to remember something so unimportant

What's hilarious is that people think 3.5 million in 3 days is bad when they even made a post about it to celebrate. And the number is only going to grow lmao. Doesn't matter how big you thought the hype was, JRPGs don't sell like crazy especially in Japan of all places. The only ones that do that there is dragon quest and pokemon

JRPGs have been doing so much better in recent times, but they'll likely never attract the casuals that go buy Fifa and animal crossing in droves

Not really into the origami style. Immediately seeing what seems to be a fake peach, I cringed. I'll need to see more to get a better understanding

At the very least, exploration looks like it could be fun. But pretty much everything else looked nothing like what made the 1st 2 games fun

Please as long as it has something to do with the adventure series. I love those games, flaws and everything

This game just keeps getting better and better. Not that I dislike the remastered versions but I've been listening to the originals for so long. I just can't see myself playing this gem without them

Lmao persona 5 and fe 3 houses are far better than Pokemon

And I'm glad to see 13 sentinels nominated for goty, but too bad famitsu is an absolute joke

@GoblinKing86 I said it locks content out of the games I've played not all the games that support amiibos. Botw is a perfect example of how they locked out fanservice weapons, armor, and even a companion.

I would've loved to find all those unique weapons out in the world instead of the same old rupees, minerals, and low tier weapons that plague all the chests you find in botw. Instead of making the rewards so underwhelming for completing quests, put some of the armor as rewards, or the ability to use wolf link as a companion. But no, it's locked out by overpriced toys made even more overpriced by scalpers instead.

Amiibos are completely useless in most games and lock out content, that wouldve been better ingame from the start, in others.

Amiibos are garbage. All they've done for the games I play is lock out content that would have probably enhanced my experience with them (botw and fe fates)

As for the topic, I hope they bring in some other way to listen to the songs cause Xenoblade's soundtrack is seriously good

This went from most likely not happening to never ever now. But please let this be real. All the collectathons games in one cart plus paper mario supposedly going back to being good again? Yes please

The ones I'd buy are the collectathons and the 1st 3 paper marios if this were true but I kinda doubt it

It was very boring except for Xenoblade. The combat bits they showed off looked off for some reason but I'm still buying it cause it's one of my favorite games. Also I can't believe they're promoting shulk and melia so hard lmao

And they chose a terribly boring game to represent for the next smash dlc so depending on who is next afterwards, I'll probably not end up getting the pass and just buy individual characters if they look fun

It's an archaic design that shouldn't exist in 2020 anymore. Its a shame they chickened out and deleted cause I'm sure devs criticizing has a better chance of causing impact

I am one of those people that don't have to share with anyone so it doesn't matter much to me but I'd argue against this any day of the week cause it's such a stupid design. If I had more than one child, I'd love for them to be able to express their islands the way they want to individually, without having to spend more than the $360 it takes to play the game

The game was an absolute bore at least from the 2 demos (which I think are the same?) that I played. The sprites were neat but I prefer sprites with fun animations to go with it. The story is extremely cliche and I heard they barely even connect the stories together so that blows even more. I did enjoy the combat a bit and the music from the demo was fantastic. I'd buy it if it ever gets a decent price cut just for those 2 factors alone

Also lmao are u guys seriously getting triggered over somebody typing 2 letters? Damn

They also claim Sony wants their Japan studio to make a Castlevania similar to Bloodborne and Lords of shadow. Bloodborne is absolutely amazing so I have little to no doubt if Japan studio rebooted it, they'd make a fantastic Castlevania

But the main reason I'd want this to be true is because it would mean someone actually wants to keep three great series alive

Please just release another trailer or some artwork already. I want to see the whole gang's new artstyle
