Lizardcube could make a 1st person shooter and I'd still play it.

Honestly, 7 years is not that long to make a great game.

I wish my life wouldn't be so unstable. Otherwise I might even enjoy some of this word play.

Great, now let's stop with all this silliness and release 4-5-6

So are they copying GOOD Sonic or copying BAD Sonic?

Plenty of room for Sonic copies that are better than Sonic.

I'm sure many companies hate these numbers. They want to charge us the same amount for a digital game without any additional production costs.

Yes, that was a pretty good game. Will definitely play it again!

They somehow succeeded in turning me off FF7 for good. I just can't stand seeing Cloud anymore. He was never THAT interesting to begin with. Nobody would care if he didn't have such a huge sword.

I'm sure they could have made those colour pop a bit more

@Athropos You say that like it’s normal.

Here’s Nintendo trying to milk this with an ultimate Switch 2 edition with some DLC slapped on. Instead of just giving the Switch 2 upgrade all the love for the console’s release.
There is no other reason than a tactical one and loyal fans are the weakest link in this equation.

With companies using a.i. to scan the internet and map the general public’s opinion, we should all speak out about this and not buy the Switch version before a patch comes out!

These tactics only work if we keep being blinded by dancing mushrooms and flying robots.

I really regret not being able to finish Persona 5. This world is so unique. But they really need to stop milking it right now.

@AdolBannings-Laylee They could never do much better than a dinosaur island .

These key cards are making Switch 2 less and less interesting to me.

After years of saying I would never enjoy online Final Fantasy, I tried this for one month and what can I say… I’ll never enjoy online Final Fantasy.

(Lost Odyssey = Final Fantasy 11)

Always thought the first one was the worst Switch game that ever had the highest potential.

Ps: this PJ guy is on a roll

Splatoon has some of the best, most original character designs of the last decade.
They’ll really have to step it up if they want to earn that comparison 😅

Japan is so busy that it becomes a clear choice.
Characters are a bit weirdly stretched. But this illustration gives much more accurate expectations of the actual game.

Are they actively trying to make this ugly?
Have they ever heard of color palettes?

I guess we’re all back to using twitter to make the nazi richer.

@RupeeClock I would look at this differently if Nintendo had actually made some efforts in terms of accessibility.
For a company that loves to experiment with controllers, I don’t understand why they haven’t released a customisable controller like Sony has.
There’s also no visual aids in Nintendo games. They probably think a high contrast mode would ruin their perfect visuals.
But if they want to make disabilities look cool (and use ‘representation’ as a selling point), that seems like the least they should offer.

@Folkloner Budget constrains for Nintendo, eh?
Poor Nintendo couldn’t afford a character designer for this one. They look at things on a ‘game-to-game’ basis so that means no budget for wheelchair games.

My main issue is that Nintendo has done very little in terms of accessibility in recent years, while every Sony game is full of options.
And now they want to play the ‘representation’ card, but they don’t want to spend one cent turning these into real people.

This is not about representation for them. This is: “our new mouse can be used as a cool wheelchair” and nothing else.

@Orwellian87 I’m just noting how people in wheelchairs get represented for once, and they had to be turned into robots. Making it ‘cool’ without acknowledging the daily struggles of being wheelchair-bound.

I’m also not calling for it to be cancelled or anything. There’s just just some things we have to keep in mind.

Just wish they weren’t robots in wheelchairs, but people in wheelchairs.
This can go from empowering to exploitation in a heartbeat.

@stephalear Came here just to check if it got the credit it deserves 😂

@Dr_Lugae I’m not saying they don’t have creative elements or that every game is the same. That’s what I mean by lost potential.
It’s just that every game has these empty characters and I never care about any of them.
Just compare it to a game like Ni No Kuni.
Imagine what Pokemon could be if they’d put all their efforts into crafting one game with a rich world and relatable characters. It’s not as if they don’t have the resources.
It just feels like “We know this will sell, even if we don’t go the extra mile”

This has become the blandest series in existence. So much lost potential.
I mean, you can enjoy these games, but everyone must agree they could be so much better.

Honestly, I’m not that shocked, considering Final Fantasy IX just turned 25.

Why does this feel like it started as a Wario game that they reskinned for DK?

I don’t care about Viper but I’d love to get my hands on her hair shader.

@CaptainQuo The tiny characters are a bit weird for an action rpg. We should be much closer to the action but then they probably needed higher res sprites.

Haven’t had a chance to play it, but no dodging sounds like it could be a dealbreaker.

@Erigen This is coming from the ’Triangle Strategy’ people. Lame titles are their trademark.

@Fiergala Are we equally shocked when we see someone having a drink, though?

The camera is too far away. They’ll figure that out by themselves.

Yeah this is a great art style and everything looks amazing.
But I’ve lived in four different apartments since we were introduced to this world.

This is starting to feel like FF7 and Star Wars.
Keep it sacred!!

We need a complete reboot game with the original 151, where you can actually catch ‘em all. With a revamped art style and difficulty options.

I absolutely love Ys but I wish they’d spend some more time on the art direction of these games. There’s always a few really good designs and then there’s things like that ‘dolphin island’. The overworld in X looks like they forgot to render half of it.

It’s really time to wrap up this art style/world.
I don’t want over-exposure to ruin it like FF7.

@MathByThePixel Same here. They removed all the magic from Star Wars and it’s just ‘content’ now.

@wollywoo I don’t think this person has taken any anatomy classes. The arms are just random muscle sticks 😅

I’m always happy when a good game gets a 9 and not a 10.
10/10 games come along once every 10 years or so.
This keeps expectations realistic 👍

So, again, Nintendo is biting off more than they can chew. They keep trying to release PS5 games on a PS3.
Tears of the Kingdom, Link’s Awakening, the Xenoblades: all ruined by lousy performances.

TotK literally gave me headaches and headaches aren’t ‘fun’.

Trying to see this through my 11yo self’s eyes, Japan would feel the most magical.

Surely this is just a strategy to create more buzz : )

Easiest vote ever!
NA actually made my jaw drop.

How anyone can spend more than an hour in Mario Kart is beyond me : )
Love these games for a few 10 minute sessions and that’s it!

Five more days before all of our dreams are crushed.

I guess this could also mean a sequel?

Ripping off a cover image isn’t exactly a hommage anymore.
