Altought he might not be "someone from your neighbourhood", he is a more relatable character I would say.

"Living in a way that's true to yourself is more enjoyable than being in competition with others [...]" and those are true words of wisdom that should be applied for everything

I really like how the game is fast paced (you already start with your main spells) and matches are quick, the character mobility is really nice and also spell combinations.
Playing solo does not attract me, but is quite fun playing with friends

@playstation_king Thanks for the video by the way. Unfortunately I felt that I've learned more about the story than gameplay itself hahahahhaha I wish for it to turn out a great game, it's just that I am now with zero hype. For sure I'll read the reviews

It is very different making the player assume the role of its own in-game avatar vs immerse the player in a specific role @playstation_king of course I wouldn't mind having a Zelda game where we play as the Princess. I would love it! But I also totally agree with @SmaggTheSmug that having a defined character makes the franchise stronger. The character itself becomes a logo, a brand for the franchise to be recognized.

I don't see ever Sonic being customizable, nor Bayonetta, Kratos, Mario, the girl from Horizon Zero Dawn, etc.

I agree with @TYRANACLES that Sands of Time is leagues above the other two. For me, the overall quality decreased for each sequel.

But my rebel-early-teenager spirit loved to spill some blood listening to some heavy metal, doing crazy moves and checking on hot babes (The Warrior Within)

Wow now my interest in this game dropped quite a lot. So basically you're an all powerful "avatar of the gods" that have lots of power and kill easily any monster in your path. Oh and look shiny attacks. And horse. And you can fly, isn't that neat? Clearly the game is aiming for an audience that I am not a part of.

@Yanina I also enjoyed the music, really gives the game its own personality and not just another epic song like always. But then again, the trailer itself was pretty 'meh' in my opinion.

Could we get the non-remastered trilogy on the Switch? Damn, this remake doesn't look nice...

Sands of Time has a special place in my heart. The storytelling was mindblowing for me as a kid, the gameplay, the ambience... Geez maybe I'll get it on Steam

Whelp, I would like to play it this year. But I totally understand and wish for the game to be high quality.

That is an amazing art! The gauntlet reminding a Switch, the inverted Triforce decal

Not sure why, but the info about the game and the screenshots made it less appealing to me...

Well I'm still going to check the trailer and gameplay videos when it comes out

While I totally understand that Nintendo could have done a "better job" on these ports, I'm very glad they almost didn't touched Mario 64. For me, the graphics are iconic and part of its style, added with a ton a nostalgia I must say. Mario 64 is just the very first game I ever played, and have fond memories of watching my sister play it while I was still too young to properly control Mario hahahahaha

If you did not have this game for WiiU, get it. Simple as that.
Interested to see what Bowser's Fury will be about. But I'm betting it won't be enough for me to double dip this game (I will be glad to be wrong, mind you)

EDIT

@bluesun

Hmm, I see! If it is only a new world, I'll definitely pass. Thanks!

@rjejr As I completely agree that ports only does not suffice, neither remasters, we are getting new games. But of course it depends on what style do you enjoy.

Bavely Default II and No More Heroes 3 are still confirmed 2020 releases.

If you haven't played this game, get it!

I did 100% on my WiiU so probably the new content is not worth for me to double-dip, but it is an amazing Mario game that can be both quite challenging and hilarious when playing multiplayer

I'm glad I kept the thought "those rumours are nice but I won't get hype, will wait for a confirmation" because I got genuinely surprised and excited about the 3D All-Stars!
As I love Mario 64 and never played Sunshine neither Galaxy, I'm getting it for sure

@Tyranexx Get Torna! Maybe I could even say it is a paragon in gaming of a expansion that stands on its own, totally worth the price. Updated graphics, new battle system, good story (in my opinion)

Now with Dante from the Devil May Cry series?!?!?!?! OMG!!

Jokes aside, I've heard a lot about this series but never played a single game (neither Persona, the closest thing may be Tokyo Mirage Sessions), so I'll be looking into it

Man, just by reading 'Shanoa' makes me wish for a remake of Order of Ecclesia to the Switch. Hey, a man can dream right?!

Loved the game, give me more fast paced action hack n' slash heartpounding gameplay anytime! LOL
Sometimes I still listen to Dark Hero and Saviour in loop

And that art is adorable. Astral Chain 2, if it comes out, is a must buy for me

@Lordplops Oof that's harsh! xD

Come on, Invisible Touch is great! hahahahahha

They do have a record of putting their "rotten finger" over non-original series. That being said, I enjoyed a lot the first season of Stranger Things (2 not that much and 3 even less, unfortunately), The Witcher and Sabrina. These 3 series I intend to keep watching as long as I can use my family's account.
And I just got to know that Cobra Kai will be released on Netflix. I really hope they do not influence the direction of my favourite series hahahahaha

Edit: I was mentioning mainly live action, but Love Death Robots and Castlevania are good as well! May have to check BoJack

@TheFrenchiestFry

Is Sex Education good? First time I see someone spontaneously recommending it. Never bothered to look for any reviews, I might add.

@jakegaslamp Thanks man! Well I live in Caen, Normandy! So we are not that far apart.

France is a beautiful country with a rich history and culture. And life is much easier than in Brazil, no doubt about it. Still, it is true that it takes some time to make friends, and there are some other things that bother me. In the end, any place will have its good side and bad side.

@MeowMeowKins Portuguese, French and, same for you, English. Learned French only after getting the job here, actually.
Good luck with learning Japanese, at least the pronunciation is much easier than French (already took some lessons)

@MeowMeowKins Yes, I am indeed in France. Born and raised in Brazil, moved here by september 2018 =)

Aaahh, esses estagiários.... Hahahahahahahha
Brasil sil sil!

In Brazil we joke that stuff like these are done by interns. I have to say I laughed a lot, specially with the last video as it is in my region LOL

I do not symphatize with him at all, but at least the videos aren't related to his political directions, opinions etc. It is propaganda, yes, he is showing some construction sites. Nothing any other politician wouldn't do (well except for the music hahahahahaha)

Hmm, Overwatch catches a bit my interest as I'm lacking an FPS game.
Do people play it on Switch, is it easy to find matches? What about the performance?

As a Brazilian, this does put a smile on my face!
Just hope prices won't be as abusive as we are used to...

That's one thing that I enjoy here in France: I can buy stuff. It's not nice when a Collector's Edition is more than one quarter of the minimum wage, what happens in Brazil.

I got Breath of the Wild + Skyward Sword from this game. Will keep an eye!

Yes I understand it's beta, just pointing out some work still to be done in my opinion:

• landscape / textures: games has a generic look to me
• combat: I hope enemy "IA" will be improved, monsters just stand there getting hit. Also I noticed that a level 40 character took some time to finish off a level 25 monsters... (well there's one character who was level 20)

By the way, having levels makes me think the game won't be as "open world" as it could, some grinding may be necessary if I really want to venture no matter where.

In the end, if it's a pretty good game, I may get it!

Never played a Phantasy Star game, but the video made me think of a full action Xenoblade Chronicles!

@StardusterEX @Eel

Funny thing, I would look up on the internet to do the "relationship events" for the other characters on purpose just so they would marry! Damn, I know this can be quite a silly thing but I am sad / mad about it...

What's the point of finding a job for Cliff so he can stay in the town if not for marrying him to Ann?

@Eel That's just... Well it doesn't make any sense!
I want all residents to find love! LOL

Meh this really let me down hahahahahha

@Eel wait what your "rivals" do not get married in this version? I won't get to see the nurse lady marrying the doctor??

I don't find the artstyle appealing at all, but the raw nostalgia is strong in this game!
Ah, such sweet late childhood memories, playing Friends of Mineral Town in my GBA while chilling on the hammock at my family's beach house...
Whelp, I might get this for the Switch xD

I've recently bought MHGU for the Switch during the sale, and was surprised how easy I could find hunt partners. I played MH3U and MH4U during my University years, invested a lot of hours, good times.

The Arts gimmicks in Generations is less "game changing" than I thought it would be! I would love a new Monster Hunter made for the Switch

West of Dead, Haven and Röki got my attention, in this order

The visual interface during combat does seem a bit chaotic, but by playing it should be fine. The art style is really captivating!

I hope this is a very early build of the game. I didn't like how the models were animated, at all. Both character and monster. Hitbox seems quite off as well.

Is this a confirmed Switch release? I'll keep an eye to see if they improve (for my taste)

Amazing art! Here's to many more years of this incredible series!

Currently playing XC DE, first time enjoying this entry. What a game!

It seemed to me as if it's Hollow Knight but the protagonist is Manny Calavera from Grim Fandango

@T7Hokage017 Thanks man, it's a close up picture of my dog hahahahaah

If it's true, great! I'll buy it for sure!

But I really doubt it. I think the Trilogy, if ever released, will come much closer to Prime 4. Due to that teaser in Paper Mario trailer though, in my opinion a 2D Metroid will come first.

Yes! Totally worth investing some time to become a Ketchup King!

Now as @BenAV said, more SplatFests please!

As I never had a PlayStation and PS5 having retrocompatibility with PS4, I have plans to save some money and get Sony's next console when it launches. I know there are several pretty good games to enjoy, both platform-exclusive and third-parties (my computer just don't have the power to run anything from let's say 2017?)

That being said, I completely agree with him.

@FlashBoomerang An opinion is not always a fact, you should not start a soccer-related fight over here...
Hahahaha to zoando, couldn't care less about soccer (mas meu pai é gremista e escrevi em sua homenagem xD)

Nice to see fellow Brazilians showing up in the thread hahahaha é nóis gurizada! xD

@rex_rex I live in Caen, in Normandy. Oh yeah I'm up for some beer and Switch whenever possible! How could we exchange friend codes? Is it allowed to just post it here?

Major props to the references of the Gaúcho culture:

Minuano is a strong and cold wind that blows in the region during autumn and winter. It is also the name of an ancient indigenous tribe that inhabited Rio Grande do Sul (the Brazilian state which Porto Alegre is capital of).

The 3 colours in the back of the in-game car, just above the word, are the colours of Rio Grande do Sul flag.

The phase "Where is my yerba maté?" it's because we drink chimarrão A LOT, a beverage made on this herb, kinda like a tea.

The music "Guaíba Sunset" nods to a really common thing to do in the city which is to go watch the sunset by the lake Guaíba.

@rex_rex You're right LOL Yeah maybe they are indeed colorados, or the Arena wouldn't make sense in the way they planned the race. By the way, in which city are you now?

I am from a smaller city around 120km away from Porto Alegre, but lived there for 6 years of my life (University + work) before moving to France.

This does put a smile on my face! I love they way they did the statue of the Laçador!

@Varkster
Exactly! I couldn't care less about the other students when doing Golden Deer, expect Petra of course. Now I am "damn right Caspar ma boi!", "you better not mess with my girl Bernadetta!" hahahahaha

Well there are some I simply can't appreciate such as Hubert and Cyril because it bothers me a lot this "I'll do everything for this person" in the way they do. Catherine is like that as well, but the way she does it is not as irritating, to me at least lol

@Varkster

I just started playing Three Houses for the second time (doing Edelgard's route now, first one was Claude's) and it is incredible how quickly I've grown fond of Black Eagles students! The characters are well-written indeed.

What I wish for is that it was a tease for a 2D Metroid game. Gosh how I enjoyed Samus Returns on the 3DS!

For me Metroid Prime 4 will release around 2022, so if they eventually release a Trilogy, it will be closer to that, to keep the hype strong even for those of us that aren't fans of the best bounty hunter out there.

But of course I may be completely wrong, just have to wait and see. Even though, this does put a smile on my face!
