@Ralizah Yeah, with so many games coming out especially for me on PC, I have to budget my money, and most importantly, time. I might pick it up in March or April after Hogwarts, RE4 Remake, and Returnal.
I think this is going to sell less than Three Houses. I have a few friends that are into FE and they aren't getting it for a while. It's actually the first Fire emblem I haven't gotten day 1 since Awakening. I just think the whole "summoning" old characters thing is so dumb. I'll get it in a few months after I play a couple other games I want to spend money on.
National dex needs to be back. I actually do like that not every pokemon is catchable in every game, because I like some being region exclusive, but having them sit in home blows.
@sketchturner I understand. Personally I just have my PC hooked up to my TV like a console anyway, so I play it at parties all the time, but the switch portability is nice.
@sketchturner If you can, get the Steam version of rivals of aether. It has very easy to use mod integration, and people have made amazing characters from across all sorts of video games and other media.
That trailer was shockingly underwhelming to me. The lack of voice acting especially is just so bad. I really want to love pokemon again, but I think I'm just too old.
@somebread that's actually not true. Only if you want to play online are the characters locked. If you play locally against someone you get every character. I did this last night.
@Freek Agreed, they are pretty awful. I only use them attached to the switch. The pro controller on the other hand, is one of the best and sturdiest controllers I've ever used.
I know this is a Nintendo fan site, so fanboys will fanboy, but this game is actually pretty great and quite different from smash. You can play locally with other players and every character is immediately unlocked as well.

Bring in a Metroid Prime Hunters type multiplayer mode.

Re: Former Retro Studios Dev Reveals "Rejected" Wii Pitch Metroid Tactics
That would have been so siiiiick! Really wish they would have made it.

@Bobb We could only be so lucky.
Re: Good Smile Company Reveals Stunning New Fire Emblem Figure, Pre-Orders Live
Fire emblem Heroes? I sleep.
Re: Mario Movie Posters Appear To Have Leaked Online, First Look At Peach & More
Peach can do anything. Except not get kidnapped.
Re: Feature: 30 Changes We'd Like To See In The Next Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Update
National dex needs to be back. I actually do like that not every pokemon is catchable in every game, because I like some being region exclusive, but having them sit in home blows.
Re: Feature: 30 Changes We'd Like To See In The Next Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Update
The only thing getting fixed are SOME of the visual glitches, and MAYBE the framerate, if that. I guarantee it.
Re: Frustrated Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Players Are Reportedly Getting Refunds
@Greatluigi From what I've heard, Game Freak management is to blame. They are actually the ones that set the schedules.
Re: Frustrated Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Players Are Reportedly Getting Refunds
I just hope this reaches daddy Nintendo's ears.
Re: Steam Deck Nintendo Emulation Videos Are Being Pulled From YouTube
Switch games, okay yeah I get it. But gamecube games? Nintendo has NEVER made an easy way to get most of them.
Re: Review: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet - An Open-World Poké Playground Full Of Promise (And Tech Issues)
7 sounds about right.
Re: Review: Sonic Frontiers - A Bold But Ultimately Failed Attempt At Something New
I've had much more fun with this game than ANYTHING nintendo has release this year.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Teases Two New Pokémon In Latest Trailer
No voice acting is really killing the vibe this game is trying to have.
Re: Random: Sega Is Hiring Someone To Help Keep Sonic's Lore In Check
I love stupid Sonic lore. As a fan, I say give me more.
Re: Sonic Frontiers On Switch Will Be The "Same Experience" As Other Platforms
Still gonna get it on pc. Not taking any chances.
Re: Dataminers May Have Uncovered A Brand New Pokémon Coming To Scarlet & Violet
Oh cool, it ALSO looks like garbage I'm not going to catch.

@Nightcrawler71 they already did.

Eh, looks like crap anyway.
Re: Meet Iono, The Electric-Type Gym Leader From Pokémon Scarlet And Violet
@spottedleaf What a complete shame they don't have voice acting in the game.
Re: Blizzard Apologises To Overwatch 2 Players For Launch Issues
Just wanna say, the phone number requirement is gone. Although I WOULD still set up 2 factor authentication regardless just for safety reasons.
Re: Blizzard Has Temporarily Removed Two Heroes From Overwatch 2
@RareFan What about Kimiko, she seems traditionally feminine?
Re: Random: Valve's Latest Steam Deck Trailer Briefly Shows A Switch Emulator
I have to get me a steam deck. Not for pirating, but it's so good looking.

@sketchturner I understand. Personally I just have my PC hooked up to my TV like a console anyway, so I play it at parties all the time, but the switch portability is nice.

Re: Poll: Is It Just Us, Or Was That Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Trailer A Little Confusing?
It's because there's no voice acting, which makes everything seem weirdly quiet.
Re: Where To Pre-Order Pokémon Scarlet And Violet On Switch
That trailer was shockingly underwhelming to me. The lack of voice acting especially is just so bad. I really want to love pokemon again, but I think I'm just too old.
Re: Metroid Prime Dev Retro Studios Pitched A Zelda Game Called 'Heroes Of Hyrule'
This would've been cool! I'd love a tactics game set in zelda lore.
Re: Game Journalist Doubles Down On Zelda News At Upcoming Nintendo Direct
Metroid prime pleeeeeeaaaaassseeee
Re: The Pokémon Company Is Suing Chinese Publishers Over Copyright Infringment
Good! I usually don't cheer for huge corporations, but that's some OBVIOUS STOLEN MATERIAL.

Re: 8BitDo Reveals New 'Ultimate' Controller Range, Compatible With Switch
@NiallMitch14 I basically only game in switch and PC. Would you say the 8bitdo you have is better than an Xbox controller?
Re: 8BitDo Reveals New 'Ultimate' Controller Range, Compatible With Switch
Or you could just get a switch pro controller which works on PC AND has better rumble.
Re: Sonic Frontiers Switch File Size Seemingly Revealed
I'm gonna get this on PC. I don't think the Switch version will run too well.
Re: Game Freak Confirms Pokémon Legends: Arceus Started Development Before Sword & Shield's Launch
@Zorox88 Yeah ORAS was the last Pokemon game I was addicted to. Arceus was pretty good too, but I stopped playing after a beat it.
Re: Game Freak Confirms Pokémon Legends: Arceus Started Development Before Sword & Shield's Launch
3 years development? I think Gamefreak... may just not be a good developer... lol
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Pac-Man World: Re-Pac
I think they remade the wrong game. I feel like Pacman World 2 is much better.
Re: Yep, Big The Cat Has Been Spotted In Sonic Frontiers
Don't have a PS5 and I'm just going to wait for Ragnarok to come to PC, so I'm fine just getting this game instead.
Re: The Aya Neo Air Is A $600 Switch Lite-Sized Pocket PC
Maybe I'll get this...
Re: Fortnite's Dragon Ball Crossover Event Is Now Live, Here's A Look
Attack on Titan or Fullmetal Alchemist and I'll bust out my wallet.

Re: Exclusive: There's A Powerful New Giratina Coming To The Pokémon Trading Card Game Soon
Already got my booster box preordered.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Smash Bros. Ultimate VS MultiVersus Comparison
@somebread that's actually not true. Only if you want to play online are the characters locked. If you play locally against someone you get every character. I did this last night.
Re: Valve's Steam Client Beta Adds Support For Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Controllers
@Freek Agreed, they are pretty awful. I only use them attached to the switch. The pro controller on the other hand, is one of the best and sturdiest controllers I've ever used.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Smash Bros. Ultimate VS MultiVersus Comparison
I know this is a Nintendo fan site, so fanboys will fanboy, but this game is actually pretty great and quite different from smash. You can play locally with other players and every character is immediately unlocked as well.
