I believe I talk in name of everyone if I suggest to change that article image. It's absolutely disgusting.

Monster Hunter Rise! Maybe starting Sea of Stars, not sure about that yet. Happy gaming everyone!

Only reason I wanted to keep an eye to Tokyo game show was literally monster hunter, so at least I can move my attention to other things tho.
I'm pretty sure we'll see a new mh game and that it will not come to switch but its successor at some point.
Just for that it makes worth for me getting the new console, the time I end playing each mh is kind of insane.

Never enough Kirby. This was on my list to play and I was tempted to do the E word as I've not been able to find fit physical for a reasonable price, so it arrives on a perfect timing.

Monster collector + roguelike, how the fu did I miss this. Not sure if I'll get it today but I'll do in the near future.

I've just finished Eastward so surely pokemon dlc! Or monster hunter rise... not sure yet.
Happy gaming!

I'm playing eastward right now and I'm LOVING the game. I'd lie if I'd say this hasn't been my fav thing of the direct.

I've just heard good things about this game. Really excited to get it on switch!

SILKSON'T
That's my expectation for this direct C':

Played it on game pass and I'm really craving for a physical release I'll buy as soon as it gets announced. The game is pretty nice and has really cool references. I'd say it's one of the most original monster catcher I've played in a long while.

Bought it some time ago (and I'm glad because right now I have no spare money). I started Eastward yesterday because it's been in my backlog for a while and surely I'll wait to finish it before starting the dlc.

Not only counting tv shows from the past, but in Japan there's a lot of restaurants/pubs nintendo themed, for example. They've been around for a long while tho.

Just finished postgame of cassette beasts today. Surely gotta play hi-fi rush this weekend, I'll be playing some game pass games until pokemon dlc and ak-xolotl release. I'm really tempted for sea of stars, but surely I'll wait for switch physical edition coming next year.
Happy gaming everyone!

@mlt no, Baldurs 3 was developed by Larian Studios, iirc it's not related with bio bioware.

AK-xolotl. Need something like enter the gungeon and looks like a good alternative.

While some of them work pretty well, they lack two things for compete with nintendo:
1-nintendo games. People get a switch for playing nintendo exclusives, not for a powerful machine.
2-most of them require additional configuration that can become tricky for part of the player base (because yes, there's people who are not used to touch options when playing games), while on switch you can just initialize and play.
These consoles are attractive for some people, but not for the big audience.

Got it as it's going to be my next game to play, tried it on game pass months ago and waited for a switch release. Switch will always be the best platform for rogues tho.

100% it, with every shrine, lightroot, korok seed, gem, side quest and almost anything you can think. Just missing some of the medals for beating mini bosses and some Hudson signs. 200+ hours, surely I'll come back for finishing if a dlc is released, otherwise...

Scarlet and violet are not bad games, they just feel rushed (glitches, performance...). Solution is pretty simple: get more developers and take more time in doing a product.
"Oh but I want pokemon once a year" alright, instead of a year of dlc, two years of it. Put a little team working on it, get the entire pokedex in said game during all these years and you get a bonus year for your main team for development. "Oh but I want more new creatures" it's not like dlcs are not bringing some new pokemon.

I'm really missing New Pokémon Snap in this list. Yeah, the main games are ugly, but Snap looks absolutely precious.
Sakuna of rice and ruin is fantastic as well.

Why would want anyone just a code in a box? A cartridge with everything sounds fine, but just a code should be almost a crime.
@Anti-Matter didn't know about Nexomon 3, it looks pretty nice ngl

I'm happy about TCG in NSO (it's one of my fav games of that console) and the DLC looks really nice and I'm crossing fingers it runs OK.
But...
As someone who doesn't like phone games, late presents feel absolutely barren. I feel like phone games have eaten almost every other spin-off.

If the games are being delayed for getting better quality AND workers don't have to do crunch is not that bad. I highly prefer waiting for a finished product than waiting for a patch that allows me to play said product.

Surely Yooka Laylee, played it years ago and loved it and I'm doing a second run now. I want to replay Hollow Knight as well so if I end YL this weekend I'll start.
No backlog enough (oh the irony) to stop me from replaying some games I love.
Happy gaming!

Of course the only Ubi game I've enjoyed for years it's the one being canceled. F.

TOMBA!
TOMBAAAAAA!
Oh man I love that game, I play it every few years. Having it on switch will become handy.

@Selim actually I'd say they'll be showing it to third parties for future games rather than doing a public announcement

Somehow I expect problems with cartridge compatibility... unless they keep same format with more capacity, or add a reader like DS with GBA games back in the day. At this point and with my current backlog I cross fingers for BC.

@SACHism basically this, plus it's OST is one of the best of the game.

Still TotK! Finished getting all koroks yesterday, this weekend will go for secondary missions.

In some way FTC is correct. Nintendo IS a competitor in terms of sales and videogame market, that's a fact. But it's not a direct competitor in terms of products. I mean, both Microsoft and Sony are built around games focused in technical power, Nintendo discovered that was a lost war years ago and offered a different experience. Switch didn't need CoD nor most of Activision games to keep strong sales. Furthermore, I'm pretty sure if every big third party was bought Nintendo would not be affected SO bad, as they sell for their first parties. Just a quick view to the best sold switch games ranking shows this.

I was expecting some splatoon dlc though, still pretty nice. On the other hand FURRET CONFIRMED

I've been waiting this for months! And I'd say it's been one my fav things of the direct, not gonna lie...

Is someone else avoiding to see any leak rumor just for not hurt themselves? 😂

@rawzeku if you already bought it you don't need to get it again, just updating the game is necessary.

@EarthboundBenjy I'm pretty sure they're throwing this into the trash and did the change so they don't care about content anymore. They can't make it public enough for the people who put their money into passes and such, so they dropped it as a ninja update.
The situation overall is pretty sad, releasing the game as it is with some dlc characters could have worked really well, or dropping the price to 30€ and doing a public message for all people who was not agree with is first state.

As soon as I read about this yesterday I ran to buy it and found it second hand for 18€. THIS is what I wanted since the beginning, a kart game with unlockables through playing. Sad part is they did this so silently a lot of people interested in the title will miss it.

Never played it, battle pass related games (Or the ones built around fomo in general) give me anxiety and shooter is my least favorite genre. Complete combo for me.

Sad thing is that some Vocaloid songs have stories good enough to be their own videogame (for example, Alice human sacrifice, Dark wood circus, Daughter of evil saga, Synchronicity, Kokoro/Kiseki) and instead we get... this.

I want to state before posting that I don't agree with most of N's ways to tackle mods/fangames and similar.
@AstroTheGamosian thing is that Nintendo games are just available in their consoles and modding them means you are dumping the game and modifying it, which can be automatically rated as piracy, and the only way this could be solved is Nintendo releasing its games for PC, which I see almost impossible right now.
I'd love myself being able to play better versions of the game in any kind of allowed way, and I'd put my feet in making fangames/mods for some Nintendo games, but sadly I can see how that could end.

Still TotK! I have the determination of 100% like I did with BotW so still a long road to go.
Happy gaming!

So basically, LEGO latealy has released a smash-like game, a kart game and now this one. What possibilities do we have it will be a strikers like?

I still have Zelda for weeks - specially counting I'll have less time for playing for a couple of months. Happy gaming!

Crossing fingers they don't break something this time

I've not updated because I've not closed the game yet and I'm too lazy to do that.
On the other hand, have I used the glitch? Yeah I did, when I needed a mob drop to upgrade an armor and after three hours I just got a single drop and I still needed for 14 more. I'm sorry for the ones who enjoy this, but most of the days I have no spare time (aka adult with job plus other responsabilities) and grinds like that kill my gaming mood. Have I used it after that? Nope. Will I use it? I don't think so. Will I update? Yeah, at some point. I don't care that much about the glitch.
Anyway it's a single player game, so every option is valid as far as the one is playing enjoys the game.

They are dragoats ;D

Does someone need some popcorn? The entire situation around TPC is just for sitting and enjoy.

Man the only sticker book I've ever had was first gen pokemon. I'm 31 and I'm tempted to get and complete this one.

Wish all my troubles in life were a delay of a game. Still excited for this game but I prefer a delayed, polished game instead of a bugged, rushed one.

Even if the number is really big I'm not that surprised - counting digital and physical I have around 130~ games, around 90 of them in digital surely. It has become my favorite system for playing, counting that I travel quite a lot and I can play digital software without internet connection and there's a LOT of quality indies that get really nice discounts (moonlighter, enter the gungeon, blasphemous, the last campfire, ender lilies, these are some quick examples of nice games with great discounts every few weeks/months).

Surprising? Yeah. Understandable? For sure.
