@teamdave2002 my dude, look at the timestamp of my comment and the timestamp of the reviews just now releasing.

Also, it releases today. I have tickets for it today

@Impossibilium well, right thats what I mean. I can buy tickets for this evening. The movie is out today.

When I went to see John Wick on release day, reviews had already been out a week. For D&D, the reviews were out far earlier - at least 2 weeks out. Its just highly unusual and makes me skeptical. Why hide?

@GrailUK odd. Nintendo is behaving strangely with it then. I typically see movie reviews 1-2 weeks in advance of a movie releasing

why are there no reviews out for this movie yet though? Its already in theaters.

So weird

@quinnyboy58 Its Animal Crossing with Disney characters and a quest system, essentially. A more guided experience

I don't personally care much. But I'm gonna get the special Switch, the controller, the case, and the special edition of the game for my partner. She adores Zelda

Would love some Big Hero Six reps in the game. Baymax would be Best Companion

@Kiyata its still in "beta" and you have to pay to test it for them.

Seems backwards if you ask me. Betas are supposed to be free, and full games are supposed to be paid

would have been funny to have him voice Wario instead

maybe Square is waiting for them to be in a Direct, so they can't say anything?

...why would they? Melee doesn't need an HD remaster.

@Alpha008 I was also confused by Activision at #3. I am also not sure how Metacritic counts games. I am looking at their own list at https://www.metacritic.com/company/activision and I only see 3 games and a WoW expansion listed (CoD Warzone 2, CoD MW2, and Overwatch 2).

I really don't understand why the article claims Activision released 10 games in 22

Its immensely (sadly) hilarious to me that Xbox doesn't even make enough games to make it onto this list. The amount of mismanagement is crazy

well maybe Nintendo should stop releasing low-effort shovelware sports games and maybe actually put some care into the production of Pokemon games

Nothing. But I certainly don't need a reason to buy more for a while

@dew12333 the problem is Nintendo didn't print the full game onto physical media, aside from limited collector editions. This is self-inflicted

If a company doesn't make physical copies available and then delists digital copies, then said company sacrifices all moral high ground on piracy.

It's not much to expect to be able to play games 10 years from now, just as I expect to be able to watch a movie or read a book 10 years from now. And if a company takes away all legal avenues, we should all endorse emulation and piracy as the lone solution

@Immovablegamer6669 the problem is that Nintendo chose not to sell the full game, outside of limited collectors editions. And they are taking away access to the full game forever without any ability to play it on other/modern consoles.

I never played the FEs on GBA. And you better bet I am excited to get those on NSO. Similarly, you don't think that future FE fans may have missed Fates and you don't think they deserve to play the complete game in 5, 10, or 15 years?

S/V DLC looks cool.

Can't say I cared about the other 20-ish minutes

Nintendo didn't even stock pre-orders. I am still waiting for my copy from Amazon.

They don't get to understock and then play innocent

@dew12333 A lot of people may have bought a 3DS more recently. Games need to be made available legally in perpetuity. Otherwise, new gamers will just need to pirate the game that Nintendo refuses to sell

this is literally the last opportunity to play the full game. Nintendo is making sure future gamers can't actually complete it. How slimy and trashy is that?

@Zverik I assume this is a port of a game that's been out for 10 years. it would be easy enough to look up

Octopath Traveler II, eventually

If Amazon ever ships it. My day-of-announcement copy keeps getting delayed.

It seems Nintendo chose not to actually stock this game anywhere. Stores also don't have it

@OrtadragoonX that's been on my list for a while! Phantasy Star is entirely a blank spot for me, and RPGs are what I tend to look for (and what Nintendo is failing to provide on NSO)

Very little on NES or SNES I care about.

I have never touched Genesis

N64 probably has the most time from me and has the best selection

GB and GBA have no games I am interested in. And GBA is one of my favorite consoles of all time, so that's saying something. Where is Golden Sun!?

Scarlet and Violet DLC would be cool.

Pokemon Stadium on N64 NSO?

I want Soul Silver so bad

I'll pick this up in the future. But there is just too much to play.

And why does Square keep launching their own games on top of each other? I just got FF:Theaterythm too

THEATRHYTHM

@Aneira losing code for old games isn't that unusual. Square reportedly lost the code for FF8 and thats why it took so many years before it was ever put out again after its original release. I've also heard reports of this being an issue at Nintendo and other devs

I loved Tales of Arise. I really struggle to enjoy older Tales games though

@Buizel Its only $50 instead of $60. Not a full priced release

@Coalescence I also prefer button controls. I always used buttons on 3DS too. Much more exact (and comfortable) than the touch controls were

gods, I can't wait for this.

Just wish it included DQ music. KH had its own game. This has pretty much every other major Square IP. But no love for DQ music?

I agree. I adored the GBA SP.

new3DS XL was the only thing that came close. I love the clamshell designs so much

I don't see how that team being busy prevents their characters from appearing in FF:T though?

I love how Japan gets better NSO selections than NA every time. There are no GB/A games I want to play. But they get TWO Fire Emblems!? So unfair

as long as they're not just more versions of Mario, Luigi, and Peach, cool!

negatives:

• too long spent on Pikmin, style sim, and Splatoon. Front half was super boring as I don't care about any of those
• GBA launch lineup is terrible. Not a single thing to play and GBA is my favorite handheld. Where are Golden Sun, Fire Emblem, Pokemon, F Zero, and Metroid? Super disappointing

Positives:

• I was super surprised and really enjoyed the direct after the first 10 minutes or so.
• demos for Octopath and Sea of Stars? yes!
• Metroid Prime!
• Baten Kraitos!
• Advance Wars! Finally!
• the future knowledge I can finally play Golden Sun on a modern platform? F'ing Finally!

well 5pm is annoying. Right in the middle of the traffic rush to get home. Guess I won't watch live

sure won't.

I am unwilling to pay $70 for most games, and Zelda isn't on that very short list. In the last year or so, really only God of War Ragnarok and Final Fantasy 16 have existed on that list for me.

@darkswabber I get that. And it does that concept badly. Everything looks and plays the in the same generic way. With no care given to the license or character. Its a giant disservice to those IPs and it actively irritates me to see Batman, who opposes guns, running around shooting people with a gun

a true toybox would put some modicum of effort into the process. Such as Disney Infinity and how it paid such respect to the various IPs it included

final fantasy pixel remasters date

Metroid Prime port(s)

Advance Wars date

Pikmin date

Pokemon DLC

Fire Emblem DLC

Xenoblade DLC

I hope to be surprised. But I don't expect much new news to come out.

lets skip the boring GB games and jump straight to GBA games on NSO. The best handheld library of all time

so, is Geralt going to run around with a gun like Batman and Spider Man do?

Such crappy treatment of the source IPs

GBA games on NSO would be nice though. Let me play Golden Sun, you cowards

still working on Bayo 3, so I probably won't pick up the Bayo game

I was super meh on BOTW. Not sure I care enough to pick up the sequel. Not unless the open world is less bland and boring and has more to do

Don't care about Pikmin or the 40th Kirby game this gen

I do really want Advance Wars and Metroid Prime. Dates would be nice

Aside from Fire Emblem, Nintendo is really lacking this year for me

@KBuckley27 Zelda

'the Switch's EULA (End User License Agreement) "which disallows lawsuits" and requires parties involved to enter a legal arbitration.'

This should be illegal. What utter BS
