Could be a similar situation to Wayforward working on Advance Wars, with Nintendo giving this studio an IP that is currently collecting dust and letting them bring it back.

Hopefully Nintendo’s funds help Forever Entertainment bring in more talent because they could definitely use it if Panzer Dragoon is anything to go off of.

Easy B+ for me, would have been an A if we got info on a substantial Animal Crossing update, or Donkey Kong.

Metroid looks phenomenal, Mario Party and WarioWare both look fun, Advance Wars making a comeback is great, and the BOTW sequel is shaping up to be an amazing game.

And SMT V!!! Looks incredible!!!

I was never able to wrap my child brain around the original Super Monkey Ball on GameCube, but if this is good I might pick it up for Switch and give the series a fair shake.

Very, very excited for this! Is it too much to hope that we will see more during the Square Enix E3 show, even if just a little bit?

I enjoyed the game, but my motivation to play pretty much dive bombed after finishing the story missions. Granted it might have been because I forced myself to slog through the game on Hard mode, but I felt a lot less compelled to invest dozens of hours unlocking every little thing like I did in the original Hyrule Warriors.

I just hope a new Donkey Kong game acknowledges more characters from the original trilogy, like the Kremlings. Even if they don’t take on the role of main bad guys, I’d still like to see K. Rool and his krew cause some mischief for DK.

ALSO: Let me play as Diddy or Dixie in single player! I much prefer actually being able to control them like in the originals to having them function as power-ups like in Retro’s games.

Cute artstyle, gameplay looks solid enough, and charming dialogue? Count me in!

Physical copy in the US has me excited!

Would love to see a collection of the first 3 MGS games, including Twin Snakes (which is still stuck on GameCube). The GBA and 3DS Castlevanias would also be great.

I remember watching my older brother play KOTOR all the time on his PC but I never got to try it myself. If it came to Switch I would definitely pick it up!

I think North America’s box art does a better job of conveying that this is a mainline entry in the series, but the European/Japanese version is so much more appealing to look at.

Glad to hear that the site is doing well! I used to lurk during the Wii U era but I’ve been coming back more frequently after Jon joined on the YouTube channel. His videos are brilliant, please keep giving him and the others the freedom they have now!

Some of the music from this game seems pretty solid, shame about literally everything else!

I always like when Mario rosters step outside the usual fare. King Bob-omb is a welcome addition; hopefully Pauline and Birdo are playable as well.

I really hate the subtitle of this game. “Super Rush” is about as generic as you can get.

Looks like a very neat game, albeit not one I’m rushing to put $20 down on just yet. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on it though.

This game has never been rereleased since it’s debut on the NeoGeo Pocket, so even though it’s not the crossover game people were hoping for it’s still pretty awesome

For the price this game is an absolute steal. I adored my time with this game on Wii U and playing it on Switch is just sad good.

“Great job reviving two classic series for modern audiences and making boatloads of money in the process. Now go make some Overwatch skins, Blizzard owns you now.”

@thecowgoesmoo87 Sony almost certainly has an exclusivity deal on P5, just as Nintendo probably does with Shin Megami Tensei V.

Been excited for Tadpole Treble Encore, glad to finally have it on Switch!

I bought when it was on sale last month but I haven’t gotten around to playing it yet. The new content looks cool, I’m excited to check it out one of these days!

@Gamerdudesteel Eh, it wasn’t a bad game. Federation Force got announced released at the worst possible time, but that isn’t NLG’s fault.

@Euler You missed Dixie, who is without question the best Kong.

Does anyone happen to know how much storage all of the updates for this game take on an SD card? I have been thinking about picking up a physical copy for this game but I am unsure how much space I’ll need to make it play decently.

I will probably just order the physical for Scott Pilgrim. I don’t have a burning desire to play it ASAP, but I do want to play it eventually.

New box art is much better, I’ll be adding it to my collection on launch. I already own it on Wii U but playing it online with friends will be a treat.

Still not fond of the title though, specifically the “+”. It just looks and sounds awkward.

I usually don’t pick up Switch ports of games I already have on Wii U, but I’ll make an exception for this one. 3D World was one of my favorite games on Wii U, and online multiplayer/speed increase/new content is more than worth the price for me.

So glad this game is coming to Switch! I adored this game on Wii U, and I will absolutely be picking it up again. The music, visuals, and gameplay are all so charming and fun.

BitF holds a special place in my heart, so I am naturally inclined to support Matthew Taranto, but even beyond that this game is so worth the money.

I want RoA on Switch, but $30 is a bit steep for me this week...

Interested in picking this game up eventually, I like the artsyle and the satire. I think I'll wait for a sale before diving in, though.

Cool for indie devs, with E3 getting cancelled they need all the advertising they can get. I’m personally not excited, but hopefully that rumor was true and we get a big direct next week. I find it hard to believe since to my knowledge we’ve never gotten a big direct that late in a month, but who knows.

I started Link’s Awakening (Remake) on Thursday, and I’m absolutely loving it! It’s my first time with the game, and it’s got me hooked with the visuals and dungeon design.

@HammerKirby I doubt this would affect the timing of a Direct. It’s not like they make them last minute; there’s probably one already made and ready to be streamed at a set date.

Seems dishonest to me. I didn’t back the game so it doesn’t affect me, but I feel like people would be extremely pissed about this news if it came from any other studio.

It looks... really bad, visually. I’m not a graphics snob, but the style they went with here looks cheap and plastic-y, like a low budget mobile game.

It’s nice to see Cooking Mama back on Nintendo, but this seems kind of half-baked.

Animal Crossing is all I need for the year, anything else I get will be a nice side project.

Happy that I was able to sign this letter. K. Rool has been my most wanted for years, the fact that it finally happened is still surreal.

This game looks pretty fun, honestly. I might get try it out when it releases.

Been waiting a loooooong time for Tadpole Treble. Instant Buy for me!!!

If anyone is unaware, Tadpole Treble was created and developed by Matthew Taranto, artist behind Brawl in the Family, and his brother (hence the "BitF" in "BitFinity").
Edit: actually shown in the header image. Whoops.

This actually looks really fun. I'm considering picking it up if the price is reasonable.

Saving my money for Tadpole Treble next week!

@Royalblues Never understood the want for voice acting in a Zelda game, or any game really... What would it really add?

I'm all for a more creative, involved storyline, though.

It could be interesting, and I'm not opposed to it. However, I doubt it'll be quick to trend in the community, as most would prefer to stay in the range of 1v1s and 2v2s.

This article was very well-written, though!

Never liked SpongeBob, so I don't really care.

New Leaf is probably the best gameplay-wise, but I had to vote for City Folk, the first one I played.

Anna On The Run DLC.

Personally, I hate Bayonetta. She's awful to play against, and boring to watch. I do believe she is broken, as she is far more powerful than most of the characters on the roster. However, I have to agree... It's a little too early for a ban. If her dominance keeps up, sure. But the scene needs time to wait and see before we automatically put her down.

@smashbrolink Thing is, if Witch Time fails, she can use Bat Within and avoid punishment.
I agree that she can be beaten, but she's DEFINITELY in a tier of her own. The fact that one small mistake can mean losing a stock, along with all of the insane combos she can do (she can kill from literally any blast zone given the smallest chance) and she gets rewarded for virtually no risk or even much effort... She is undoubtedly better than anyone else on the roster.

@shaneoh That... Wouldn't work at all, and it's an awful idea. Some characters are clearly better suited to win than others, that's why tiers exist. Doesn't matter how good the player is, you can't go in completely blind, with no practice, and expect to win (especially if you get a character like Zelda or Jiggs)

@TheAceofMystery That's not the reason she's being banned at all..
She's getting banned because she has easy-to-use combos that can kill at 0% with virtually no repercussions. DI, in most cases, can't save you, and she can end matches in, literally, seconds.

The community isn't banning her because of what character she is, that isn't even a factor. They are banning her because she creates a toxic scene.
