Do fighting game purists even consider Pokken a "real" fighting game? I know nothing about the genre and even I felt Pokken's gameplay to be very shallow.

Still think this takes place in the Downfall timeline or whatever it's called, what with all the callbacks and similarities to the original Zeldo and whatnot.

@RGnsd The micro-transactions are overpriced... It's still cool seeing FE on a mobile device, it's just not the type of game for me.

I thought it was too easy and boring. Overpriced too.

I'll wait for Echoes.

Not a surprise. Mario Odyssey is by far the most interesting and appealing game on the Switch in my opinion.

Still not a huge fan of the artstyle! The game would be 10 times more awesome if they used GBA-like sprites. Looks very fun nonetheless...... although I can't seem to find it on the NA app store?

GOOD

"Normal voice chat is something I wouldn't use anyway so it's perfectly excusable to leave out parts of this feature for everyone else."

Look I don't like using voice chat in multiplayer games either but can we not do this.

I'll admit it looks fun, I hope the roster expands as the game gets more popular. I'd love to see more characters from FE4/5.

Would be great. Nier is one of my most anticipated games this year.

@Desrever I know people think Kellam is funny but his gimmick becomes really repetitive and he started to annoy me a bit by the time I started my second FE:A playthrough. At least he's memorable though, unlike some other characters who possess less personality than a wet dishcloth (see: Cherche).

I voted for Erk every single day like the dutiful citizen I am

@Steelhead I don't think so but if you do then they will probably release a "cheat code" so you can unlock SoT without beating PoS.

The Switch can't come soon enough it seems.

@Anti-Matter "They don't personally appeal to ME so NONE of their games are kid friendly."

??????? Your logic is so twisted it's not even funny

W-wait... people care about this? I'd be happier without the feature.

@Kidakairis That's a shame. NG Fissure Machamp being legal would be so ridiculously funny.

I've been out of the loop the past few days. Is Fissure No Guard Machamp actually legal?

@00Wyvern You're right, although it still isn't enough for me to get it at launch. I waited almost 3 years to get a PS4, and 2 years to get a Wii U. I'm in no hurry really.

@LArachelDisciple Uncharted isn't 3rd party. ME and FF are on Xbox One which I think Sony is more worried about when trying to compete, so I don't know what point you're trying to make.

@Henmii It already has a lot more going for it than the Wii U, it will probably sell more.

@BinaryFragger Tell me about it. Some of the most annoying comments on this site are the ones that urge people to be more positive and accepting while at the same time belittling and downright insulting those who dare disagree with them.

@kenrulei I'm not concerned with the fact that they're charging for online. I want to know if it costs as much or less than something like PS Plus. As it is, the Switch's online service offers substantially less than the PS4 in terms of the free games it offers and the games that have an online mode.

If it's something like 30 or 40 dollars I will be perfectly happy to pay it though. I just wish they could announce a price already.

EDIT: Also worth noting I'm already unhappy with the fact that PS+ is almost mandatory now if you want the most out of your PS4 to begin with. "The competition does it so it's justified!" is a simplified argument, you have to look at how Nintendo is handling this.

I don't like buying consoles at launch. I will buy a Switch when Mario comes out.

@Kosmo some of the information they're withholding worries me a little bit, like the price of the online service.

@Grawlog I would personally be ok with another timeline split though.

Some of these comments are really confusing. What's wrong with people wanting more options? Personally, I prefer listening to things in their original language, whether it be for games or movies.

@Syrek24 "Not appealing to Wii U users" isn't a reason to disregard a game. A userbase has plenty of different people with varied tastes. Stop lumping third parties together and cherry-picking.

@Syrek24 Are you actually serious? I like the 3DS games (except maybe Birthright), but your logic is so skewed. The old FE games are fine, the only "archaic" ones are the first three, and Gaiden is getting the remake it desperately needs (with the old artstyle you seem to pointlessly criticize no less).

Sales don't indicate quality, and vice-versa. You answered your own question, games like Shadow Dragon simply weren't marketable enough during the DS era. Awakening's boom in popularity is partially attributed to the fact that it was released at the right time, as well as the fact that it's more approachable to newcomers. Another thing that helped FE's boost in popularity was a lot of fanservice, which I personally do not mind, but the fact that it's there is undeniable at this point. (Also your complaints apply to Final Fantasy Tactics, a game similar in nature to the Fire Emblem games, but of course that had name power behind it... although using your logic Tactics would be a flop with these "archaic" elements... just goes to show using sales as an argument is very shallow.)

Compelling story and characters? Really? Even the biggest fans of Awakening and Fates had negative things to say about the plot, a poorly handled mess. Fire Emblem was never a story series to begin with, but if you think somehow Conquest had a more interesting and well written yarn than, say, Genealogy of the Holy War, I don't know what to tell you. Not to mention another big complaint people had about the 3DS games were the one note characters, uninteresting self insert MC's and overeliance on anime tropes. Not to say the cast for 13/14 is bad... but saying they're a step above is... something I really, REALLY disagree with. Moreover, your complaint about "political dialogue" is extremely silly, it was present in the 3DS games as well. It's a war... what do you expect? And honestly, I thought it was pretty cool.

Complaining about music and art style? Again, really? The GBA sprites are beautiful and haven't aged a bit, and they haven't aged to this day. The music is similarly great.

The only points I agree with are permadeath turning people off, and ho hum presentation. Although I prefer substance over style any day, something like FE8 provides to be a compelling game experience to this day. Awakening's abundance of "rout the enemy" missions and completely eliminating strategic elements like the magic triangle was questionable.

Sorry, I know it feels like I'm going round in circles but comments like yours really frustrate me. You're harping on the old FE fans and using exaggerated and even flawed logic to make it seem as if what they like is inferior to what YOU like. With that reasoning, if they can't be considered "real fire emblem fans" then neither can you. I personally disliked FE12 and won't pretend as if the older games are perfect, but all entries in the series have their strengths and flaws. Sorry for the text wall.

Good to hear that.

@Torakaka Still weird Corrin was absent.

@Torakaka It being mysteriously absent while the Gaiden duo got amiibo announcements basically confirms we'll be seeing Smash on the Switch.

Yes! I'm so excited. I'm really, really glad it's on 3DS too. Love the thing.

Can't wait for Dangan V3. As my icon implies, I'm a huge fan of the series.

Looks nice!

All these "DMCA in 3...2...1..." comments are unfunny and contribute nothing to a discussion, by the way.

@Faruko Steam is undeniably the superior experience, I've been subbed to PS Plus since the PS3 days because the free games offered at the time were really good. Since the PS4 released, they've become increasingly worse, and I'm not very happy about it.

@617Sqn Yes, it will. It was like that with the Wii U too I'm pretty sure.

I'm fine with it if they improve the free games policy (In other words, they let you keep the damn thing) and it's considerably cheaper than PS Plus.

I'm fine with whatever date. I still play Splatoon on a weekly basis (Even before the sequel was announced) and the sequel looks like an amazing game.

@StephenYap3 I will probably pick this up on PS4, and it doesn't really bother me. I like physical more than digital.

I honestly would have a hard time trying to find a reason to buy a game like 1 2 Switch for 10 dollars, let alone 50

I'm really excited. Hopefully we'll get more information about FE Warriors. (I hope they don't dedicate a lot of time to the Fates port if it is real, Fates is just ugh... even Conquest)

@Grandpa_Pixel Just anything that isn't Fates and I will be happy.

I REALLY don't want this. It's so pointless. I'd rather have a Radiant Dawn/Path of Radiance port, or at least have them on VC.

One of many, sadly.

Nice! I really like Taiko.

@Anti-Matter Neither can I, lol. I can't play videogames for longer than 90 minutes or else my head starts to hurt a bit.

My family bought the Uncharted 4 bundle for 200 pounds last year... I know the PS4 has been out for a good few years at this point but surely Nintendo can do the same with a game like 1 2 Switch?

Either way, I'll be waiting for the inevitable MK8D/Odyssey bundle this holiday.

@BiasedSonyFan No, it's common sense more than anything. You really think Nintendo's going to let Smash sit on the Wii U?

I'm getting a Switch later on purely because Mario Odyssey looks god tier. Nintendo consoles have been secondary to my PC and PS system for a while now, so long as the first party titles are great, I'll be more or less satisfied.

Also off topic but I'm glad I'm not the only one who misses ONM. Great mag.

If you could carry them over free of charge, surely it would have been announced by now? I hope I'm wrong, a lot of games I have on the Wii U are digital.
