Camera and mic and maybe streetpass. They don't need to reinvent the wheel this time.

I might be interested in this, but considering this is Sony, I would expect there to be a catch. Super expensive and/or using overpriced storage like the Vita. Native PS5 sounds hard to believe, but maybe that might change given it's still a few years off... Native PS5 means it would be super expensive, no matter when it comes out.

This acquisition sounds awful. I don't want Sony anywhere near FromSoft or Spike Chunsoft, they'll find a way to ruin those games or just kill off the IPs and studios.

I've also read that this company owns Famitsu as well... Yeah, this would be terrible. Hopefully this is false or the purchase gets blocked.

Will probably check this out now that's on Switch. Glad to see the studio put effort in for a overall solid Switch port.

Good to hear, but it needs a lot of work from what I've seen. No reason the Switch version can't run better than the PS360 versions.

This is cool, glad to see Donkey Kong showcased like this in their theme park. Definitely need to go there myself.

Love to see it. Incredibly happy to see the growth of the Xenoblade series in particular.

This doesn't surprise me (Nintendo has always done BC when they were able to), but nice to have official confirmation.

Already preordered. Really looking forward to the first original entry in the series in nearly a decade.

Really strong start, especially since this is only counting its opening few days. Well-deserved too, the game is great.

Great review. Can't wait for Thursday!

Again, better hardware isn't going to fix poor optimization or issues with porting over an engine... Let's not pretend the Switch can't run THIS game, c'mon people.

Yup, I've been meaning to do another playthrough with a different character build. It'll also have new content(looking like it'll have some sort of new expansion ala Future connected in Xenoblade 1 remake).

This is cool. I'm actually glad it's tied to NSO rather than another music app. Nice to see more perks added to NSO.

Love to see Switch owners proving what the studio head said a couple years ago about the Switch audience completely wrong.

Fantastic news. Definitely want to double dip and do a whole new character build.

Still want to pick this up now that they finally brought this series to Switch.

Really good start overall especially considering it launched at the end of the month and doesn't include digital.

lol yeah, I was wondering where the mass outrage is for this. It's like Nintendo is the only company that isn't allowed to act like every other company does.

Not much Nintendo can do about physical copies leaking early, since it's out of their hands at that point. Happens to most non Nintendo games too.

Unfortunate, but not surprising. With the issues surrounding Ubisoft and a lot of these major "AAA" publishers(most of which are Western publishers), I figured Lost Crown was probably going to be their last game.

A major problem with Ubisoft games, even if they turn out to be good games, is that they've trained their audience to wait for their games to go down to like $20. And you don't even have to wait that long for it to happen.

This is cool. I played through the 1st game when it came to NSO, likely do the same with this one.

Nintendo using emulators to showcase games they own. The horror!

Looks great and fits right in with prior titles in the series. Day 1 pickup myself.

Alien Isolation is fantastic. Really happy to hear this, fingers crossed it's on Switch 2.

Very refreshing to see a studio expand during a time when so many other companies are suffering layoffs. Cannot wait to see what Monolith soft has in store for Switch 2.

It's weaker than the likes of RE4 and 5, but still a decent game. Pretty cool how they incorporated zombies back into the series while still having the plagas enemies from 4 and 5.

Also, 6 has the best mercenaries mode.

Good launch sales for EoW.

I've noticed it, but it's not that bad at all.

Very happy to hear this. I was hoping this would come to Switch sooner than later, definitely getting this now.

After making the Xenoblade games and assisting with games like BotW, TotK, Animal Cross NH and the Splatoon games, they've quickly become one of my favorite devs.

Can't wait to see what they have in store for Switch 2.

Yeah, hard to beat out a new FC game that's literally on everything. I'm sure Echoes of Wisdom will turn out to be a sales success overall.

9/10 for me. Great game, the echoes mechanic is fun, whether in combat or solving puzzles.

Yup, Echoes of Wisdom for me too.

Crazy that Mario Kart hit 6M and Animal Crossing is inching towards 8M in Japan alone. A lot of games don't even hit those numbers worldwide and on multiple platforms.

And less than 10k combined for PS5, yikes. Not at all surprising though.

I've played a bit so far and noticed some minor dips in the first town, but nothing too jarring or anything. Certainly not enough to damper the fun time I've been having.

Congrats to TotK. Well deserved.

Awesome. Cannot wait for tomorrow.

Really cool reading about the development of this game. Really happy with the route they took. (although I wouldn't mind seeing a separate Zelda dungeon maker game and a new topdown game starring Link again in the future)

Calm before the Zelda storm. Mario Party next month and Brothership in November so Nintendo will have some new and old titles in the charts for the rest of the year.

Sounds great. I'm sure it'll be fun discovering all the echoes you can come up with. Can't wait for Thursday.

It would be funny if Nintendo winds up and funds/publishes a new entry anyway. They seem like one of the few major publishers to do so.

But yeah as others have already brought up, I enjoyed Astral Chain far more. We need a sequel on Switch 2.

Good stuff. It's cool that the Switch version has the motion controls like the Wii version and the new control scheme for regular controllers.

PushSquare gave it only a 5/10 and it's getting pretty mild reviews across the board, so I don't think we're missing much in the 1st place. The devs and publishers not optimizing the Switch version only makes things worse.

Always a shame when devs. don't optimize their games on Switch(or any platform for that matter) just leads to lower sales overall. I would've bought this but now I'm waiting to see if they patch it.

Reading some comments here, it doesn't appear to be that bad though. I'm usually one to be pretty tolerant when it comes to technical issues while some others would immediately right it off as "unplayable". (Not saying that's going on with this review, but yeah)

I had a feeling Lego Horizon wasn't the end of Playstation IPs on Switch. I would love to see Gravity Rush 1 and 2 on Switch/Switch 2. Even past that, a bunch of Japan studios games too.

As for Freedom wars, never got around to playing it on Vita, but I heard mostly good things about this game. Definitely want to play this remaster on Switch.

As with most games, I'm sure a stable 30 will be completely fine. If framerate is that big of a deal for you, there's other options. I'll gladly play this on Switch though.

Only 2 weeks away, cannot wait to play this.

Yikes, only 12k for Astrobot isn't good. The game looks so good and the first PS 1st party game that has really peaked my interest in ages.

I'm waiting for the physical release. I really want this, but I've waited this long so 2 more months won't kill me. We got Echoes of Wisdom later this month anyway.
