Fun splatfest overall! We did our best team Frye-Day! (Which was Saturday weirdly)

7/10 in my opinion - the charm, ambiance, and gameplay are unbeatable, but the price point is definitely to high for the length of game provided

Honestly I was really hoping for a regular direct because I want a release date for the thousand year door, but I would welcome a partner showcase. Definitely enjoying that Unicorn Overlord footage I’ve been seeing out there.

Not looking for a challenge. Just looking for a game that pairs nicely with a glass of wine after getting my toddler to sleep!

Games based on animes are pretty much hit or miss with a propensity for missing. I love the idea of this game, but I will definitely be waiting for critic reviews first.

Literally all I can do is shrug in response to this question. I WANT this amiibo, but preorders sold out super fast. We’ll see if I can get one on release day 🤷‍♂️

It looks…a little better than I remember it looking back in the day?

@Itachi2099 I hate missing out on hype haha, just a foible of mine. It would be foolish for Atlus not to bring in extra revenue by adding a switch 2 port, but I’m a little bummed that I’ll probably have to wait until 2025 to play it. Thanks for the bringing that to my attention though 👍

@Ryu_Niiyama I played the demo for Relink on PS5. It was pretty fun. I was hoping for a more ambitious multiplayer experience, but that could just be the quests in the demo. The single player was visually lovely and the combat was fine.

I would happily contribute to the success of Persona 3 Reload. Please port to Nintendo consoles asap. Thanks.

@jolteon23 the combat is more sophisticated than your average musou game in my opinion, and there are enough rpg elements to make it technically an “action rpg” if that helps sell it more for you. The story kept me fully invested for the whole game though. I really enjoyed it and plan on picking up the DLC.

I genuinely was disappointed that I’d have to wait a few more weeks to play the full version after. It was everything im looking for in a game right now.

Such a short demo, but this literally brought me from “maybe I’ll skip this one” to “I’m getting this day one “. What. A. Vibe.

So I picked up a copy of Under Night In Birth II, I’ve decided that I want to really try and “git gud” at it. Anyone have any recommendations for efficient practice routines?

I’m interested in any Mario game that comes along honestly, but I’ll wait for reviews to determine how immediately this needs to be in my library. I have a fondness for captain toad treasure tracker, so I’m sure I’ll like the vibe, but just gotta know if it’s worth the price tag at release…

I am actively playing this game for the first time, and I want to say that I am having a ton of fun with it, BUT I am enjoying it more now than I probably would have at launch thanks to a greater sense of nostalgia for this kind of game and it’s mechanics. I needed a lot of tutorials when I was younger. The nuances of this combat system seems to require more observation and experimentation than I would have probably been able to tolerate when pokémon was my entire raison d’être.

How do we lobby to make this happen? I was crushed when I learned this wasn’t coming to switch. I desperately want to play this but there is no way I can log that many hours into a non-hand held console.

@Eagly_lmtd_xmasskin Game Freak should have collaborated with Monolith Soft lol

@UltimateOtaku91 Totally. I was just realizing how many games I have from this publisher, and honestly it’s quite a lot. I have to add the Science Adventure series to your list there, and also there’s a visual novel Re: Zero game that I enjoyed from them as well.

I put 55 hours into completing this game. I definitely recommend it. There are some frame rate drops in busy areas of Edo, but I didn’t experience any issues during combat. It really takes the building blocks of a musou game but does something decidedly different. The combat is fun, and if that ever starts to lose it’s luster, the story is great and will carry you to the end.

Congrats team Big Man! I’ll celebrate your win by chillin’ with my fam’.

Careful adventurers! Ghost Radishes ahead.

Um, no, sorry guys. This list should be called most accessible switch games if accessibility didn't already have another definition in gaming. The last boss in Kirby was nothing to sneeze at, and MarioKart lives online - where the competition is HARD. Just because a game has a set of options that make the game less daunting, doesn’t mean it’s necessarily “easy”…

I mean, it’s just an educated guess goes from an industry expert, but this all makes perfect sense. In fact, I’m hoping for an ongoing commitment to portability. The switch is my console of choice largely because of this aspect.

The play time seems about right. I’m happy to play a 40 hour RPG, but a metroidvania shouldn’t be longer than 25 hours in my opinion. I’m rather excited for this. I enjoyed the sands of time.

Is it a tournament arc!? They’re the best! Loved this game.

Wasn't the Tsukihime remake announced for switch for a 2024 release?

Thank you for this! I am very interested in this game, so Im glad they put out a demo.

Looks good, and Ubisoft could use a winner right about now.

@Ryu_Niiyama I was looking on their website yesterday, but maybe they are doing some in store preorders? I’ll definitely call. Thanks for the advice

As someone based in the US, I really wanted this one. I found out that preorders were available 3 days after they posted on major retailers websites and it was already sold out.

I am definitely curious about this. I really enjoyed Scarlet/Violet, and I am pretty familiar with other Dragon Quest games.

Cherish it. It was there for me through a lot in life.

I prefer the global model for splatfests, but this seems like it could be fun as long as it’s not the status quo going forward. Also, Big Man probably gives great hugs!

Fun quiz ! Got a 20/25. Congrats to those who aced it.

Surprise me! (Whatever it is, I’ll probably buy it)

I don’t have friends. As fun as this game may be, I will likely never play it lol.

I did my best for Frye. Im just glad it wasn’t Shiver for the millionth time.

I think the translators may have forgotten that in Japanese “Zel-Da” actually translates to “Pur-ah” in English 😉

This is literally one of the first video games I remember playing as a kid. Good ole’ MS-DOS!

I’ll wait for gameplay footage. Im not expecting anything extraordinary , but I don’t trust that this game will port well.

@Captain_Toad

I cannot agree more! I play this game every day and recommend it to friends often. It would be a shame if they didn’t keep it going!

@GooseLoose1

That’s fair. Sounds like the forced effort didn’t pan out the way they hoped. I won’t disagree with you on that, and it seems like you’ve played more recent sonic games than I have. I just think the balance is in how much weight one puts on features of a game. It deserved to be called out on an unsuccessful multiplayer mode. However, from my perspective, if someone were reviewing Splatoon 3 and putting too much weight on its single player campaign (which thankfully is good), I would raise an eyebrow at that as well because the game was multiplayer from its ideological inception.

Oh and sorry for deleting my previous comment, I was worried it had become a little too trolly and self-indulgent - not my intended online presence.

I haven’t played a sonic game since Sonic Adventure 2 on Dreamcast, but I’ll give this a go. Platformers are still one of my favorite genres. Glad this review judged it primarily on its single player mode. Some other reviews really harped on about the multiplayer — which matters not at all to me.

Probably, yeah. Casual online multiplayer with randos is definitely my thing.

I got this one day 1. It’s an impressive achievement and a must play for Fate fans, but the reviewer isn’t joking with the frame rate drops. It definitely takes away from the experience during the exploration segments in the city of Edo.

It’s fun! Nothing mind blowing here, but the mechanics are enjoyable, and the presentation is fun, and I love Disney characters!

I….am enjoying the early access of Disney Speedstorm 😳

Does anyone currently play this? It seems like something I would enjoy based on the reviews. I don’t mind some frame drops and monetizing. Just wondering if it has the ‘fun’ factor…

All at the wonderful price of no additional dollars!!! (I’m assuming you probably pay for the basic nintendo online service since you’re here lol)
