Lolz, perhaps it is.

This would have been a great April Fool's joke.

@UltimateOtaku91
For some reason, there doesn't seem to be a big market for JRPGs on Xbox.

My favourite announcement was Miyamoto's new T-shirt. 🙃

@shineget64 @BenAV
Huh, didn't know that. Certainly never happened to me. Thanks for the clarification.

@aresius
Party AI has always been great in this game.
Never had any problems with them starting or continuing combos. But you need to make sure you equip them with the right arts.

The Perilwing Ryuho update is very weird because that monster is always located in the same place while the description makes it sound like it moves around the map somehow.
Furthermore, its location can only be accessed after a certain point in the story and is never locked afterwards, so I don't understand what this is all about. 🤷

The entire voice cast did an amazing job.
Probably the best I've ever heard from a JRPG.

@Bootieboy219
Maybe, I don't know.

No way!
Lost a lot of money betting on Super Mario Sisters.

@AlanaHagues
You're welcome.

@AlanaHagues
We also got the excellent Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection on Switch.

Edit: this collection has now been added to the article.

Astral Chain > Bayonetta

There, I said it.

@NintoRich
Lol, that's just sad.

The Japanese box art looks like the cartoon, thus I voted for that one.

Maybe if EA wasn't one of the worst publishers out there, I'd have cared for this announcement.

@dil_power
Lego's great. I own a couple of Star Wars 18+ sets: R2D2, A-Wing Starfighter and Republic Gunship.

@dil_power @darkswabber
True, but considering how large this set is, wouldn't Lego try to increase the amount of pieces?

This looks very cute and I don't think $97 is that much.
If this were a Lego product, it'd cost thrice that amount.

Missed opportunity if you ask me.

@Kermit1
Awww, that's nice.

Does it come with a real Pikachu to charge the car?

Disgaea, now with Dynamaxing.
I sure hope this doesn't become a trend.

@Mrkittyhead
Almost Lanz time.

@a_brave_new_geek
No, I rarely play games on hard mode.

@DTfeartheBEARD
XCX is definitely worth it imo. Though I have to warn you that game is all about exploration and quests, and very little about story and characters.

@DTfeartheBEARD
Thanks! I'm doing it on a brand new save file, not NG+.

And yes, I tried doing this on one of my playthroughs of XC1 but I got stuck with some of the timed side quests, unable to complete them before they expired. Maybe it's doable in that game, not sure, but if it is it requires a ton of preparation and foresight.

I didn't even bother trying to do this in XC2 though, because even the main story requires the use of fast travel at one point and most side quests aren't completable without it. That was a major gripe of mine in XC2: you needed to do so much fast travel in this game because the areas were all disconnected and in pretty much all cases there was no in-game solution to travel from one country to another. It broke immersion for me quite a bit.

Anyway, this gameplay choice is in fact doable in XC3 and I love the game even more because of it.

@Mrkittyhead
Hehe, thanks. I'm head over heels in love with the game. Best of the franchise imo.

Busy with my second completionist playthrough of Xenoblade 3, this time without the use of fast travel.

Glad this masterpiece is doing well.

@Sonos @Rambler
Lol, we have this saying in Dutch: "Voor geld danst den beer". Translated: "For money, a bear will dance".

Yeah... once an artist only thinks about the money, they stop being an artist in my book.

I don't understand how someone accepts an acting gig and not know what the character they're portraying is about.

Great article and I 100% agree.
XC3 has the best side quests I've ever experienced. I'm over 100 hours into the game and can't get enough of it.

I'm just over 100 hours into Xenoblade 3.
Doing every side quest right now before I beat the final boss.
Should take me a couple more days.

Turn-based Diablo-like has to be one of the best oxymorons I've ever seen.

Free-To-Play Flamboyard is what I rolled.
The dice know me well.

@DTfeartheBEARD
Tabletop mode is often overlooked.
Happy gaming and a great weekend to you as well.

@DTfeartheBEARD
Actually, I play in tabletop mode with a Pro Controller on my Switch OLED. Don't own a TV anymore.

Xenoblade 3
I'm 50+ hours into the game and currently working my way through Chapter 5. I can imagine spending many more weeks playing the game, doing all the optional content and NG+.

Cloud-based?
Thanks, but no thanks.

Seriously, do they really think this is going to be a success?

@Snatcher
XC2 doesn't suck. It's still a good game, just disappointing compared to XC1 and XC3.
I'd suggest playing XC3 and XC1 first and if you liked them both, then move on to XC2.

I wish they took all the creepy out of XC2 as well.

It's gorgeous!
Might make some wallpapers out of this art for personal use.

Bigger doesn't always equal better but in the case of a Xenoblade game, I can never get enough of exploring its world.

I love Noah's design. He looks much cooler than both Shulk and Rex.

The good news keeps on coming.

Only 2 more days until release.
Every fibre in my body tells me this is going to be one of my all-time favourite games.

I expected nothing less.

Bright Memory: Infinitesimal might have been a more accurate title.

Stunning!
Absolutely stunning!
