@LittleGhost Agreed. It seems like this reviewer has reviewed this as a £50 Triple A supposed Masterpiece. I checked a bunch of other sites and videos and they were all giving it 7+. Pointed out its flaws and accepted that is was decent rather a great game. Looks anything but average, but when I have to collect 20 pig hearts and 10 logs of wood in Xenoblade 3, getting the quest at level 10 and can’t complete until 53, I’ll be looking for this guy’s 5 out of 10. Probably wouldn’t be brave enough to post that! Btw I love Xenoblade.
Remember when XBOX fanboys were saying 'Switch is just Zelda and Mario, nothing will happen'. They're a bit quiet. Did the Xbox One XRZY or whatever it's called hit 10m yet?
@Abeedo So the problem with the article is it’s written suggesting they were a flat £50 or £60 at the beginning. That wasn’t true, in fact Bravely Default was at £38, and it’s what £35 now? That’s a £3 discount, and it’s a similar case with all the games here.
The way the website is set up, shows RRP, then the discount to show the difference. That’s a common market strat and I’d assume anyone writing about that should know it.
@OorWullie they don’t. That’s just retail cost. It’s a very common thing for websites to show RRP, then show the deduction so the % is highest. It’s a shame the amazing, well informed NintendoLife journalist didn’t take a second to research before he posted.
Yesterday one of your journalists claimed Golden Sun played like a traditional RPG despite it being far and away from that. Now it’s a masterpiece? This is a much better article. A really good read. Skies of Arcadia totally deserves it.
Hopefully they bring Golden Sun but it’ll have to be both. The second game is better and it’s essentially 1 game over 2 carts. Can’t wait if I’m honest, was such a good console.
As a huge fan of the Phoenix Wright games I found the first Great Ace game to be really slow. Things that could be said in a few words were taken to paragraphs and paragraphs, like they were trying to pad the game out. Not played 2 yet, but characters were all great and stories were cool - just need an abridged version!
Bad news. Not a surprise. Good they let us know now. It’s fine, they kept WW and TP on the back burner because they expected this. I fully expect them to be revealed and released in Q2.
@Specters Which version of Elden Ring were they reviewing? I played over 100 hours and didn’t have a single noticeable frame rate issue. I can’t speak for Rune Factory yet but it seems there are consistent frame issues at key moments.
Shame. My wife had been really looking forward to this after I got her 4 on a whim. Seems similar to how I feel about Disgaea 6. They must know by now what the fans want and they must have known they were delivering a sub part experience. Hopefully next time they buck their ideas up.
I work in the Games industry and the idea this would happen in our company is beyond crazy. I don't understand why people are like this. We've just had a tight deadline and we were working so hard to get things through, we had a last minute issue that delayed us a tiny bit as well. Yet we worked together, helped each other and in a couple of weeks are having a small party to celebrate. Some places get too big for their boots I guess. 'I work for Blizzard or Ori therefore I'm better than anyone'.
Looks really bland. Honestly looks like a year 1 games design project where they’ve downloaded 10 free asset packs and mashed something random together.
Would have bought these games even if they came out Individually as physical copies for £30-£40 each. But since they did the whole cloud thing - not a chance for any of them.
It seems unlikely they’d be working on a port for 4 years, and I’m not sure X was big enough to warrant 4 years worth of resources. I’m hoping for a XC3, their games are breath taking. I loved 1 and 2.

Re: Review: Seven Pirates H - A Rich Bounty Of Fan Service, But Lacks Depth
100% if this game was made by Kemco and it was reusing assets from 16 other Kemco titles it would get a 10/10 from NL.

Re: Review: Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising - Tedious Side Quests Mar This Prequel's Metroidvania Charm
5 seems extremely harsh give its upsides. Definitely doesn't seem any worse than a 7 - which its metascore current sits at a high 7.
Re: Review: Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising - Tedious Side Quests Mar This Prequel's Metroidvania Charm
@LittleGhost It'll probably happen in Xeno 3 and this guy will write 'masterpiece quest design'.

Re: Feature: Which Is The Absolute Best Nintendo Console Generation?
SNES and N64 was god tier but GameCube had a lot of good N64 games ported as well as many other top games. Likewise in that era the GBA. An easy win.

Re: Zelda-Inspired 'XEL' Brings Time-Traveling Action To Switch This Summer
Unconvincing. Looks like a high quality Game Jam game but nothing more than that. Might pick it up if it's under £10 and I've nothing in the backlog.
