The game seems fun, it's just a shame about the performance issues, especially compared to more graphically detailed games like Xenoblade Chronicles 3 running fine on the hardware. GF/TPC got to stop rushing these games.
It must be passing the PS4 soon, right? I think it will end up being the third best selling console of all time (after PS2 and DS), and Nintendo's second best selling after the DS.
Impressive resumé! Phantasy Star is one of the best JRPG franchises and the SEGA Ages series is just awesome. I've heard plenty of great things about Skies of Arcadia as well.
Should she be paid more? Maybe? It depends on the amount of work (number of working hours) needed for this job, which I don't have any insights into. Is it 400 hours? 40 hours? 4 hours? But I have a feeling this isn't the big controversy it has been painted out to be. We have her story and while I don't want to doubt her, I need more info to make a judgement. Plus her throwing the new voice actor under the bus seems petty to me.
But in the end, I don't have enough info, and what I have been presented with doesn't make me want to boycott the game.
Started reading before noting the article author, thought it must be @KateGray, scrolled up and... yeah! 😄 Your style of writing really stands out (in a good way) here on NL, Kate.
These code in a box versions are pointless. I'm looking for a physical version of Yu-Gi-Oh!: Legacy of the Duelist, but all the copies from the first print run are sold out and used copies are rare and really expensive. The only version available right now in stores is the code in a box version. So annoying.
As a Swede, this might be comparable to a religious person cursing in church, but I don't get the appeal of ABBA (their last record – not counting the recent dull comeback album – is their only consistently good one IMO). But they have some catchy tunes though, which probably suits this kind of game.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Leads Nintendo's Nominations At The Game Awards 2022
It most likely won't win this GOTY, but I'm still rooting for XC3, my personal GOTY 2022.

Whatcha talkin bout, Ollie? 😲
Re: Random: No, Nintendo Of America Didn't Tweet A Pic Of Mario Flipping The Bird
I mean... yeah... this deserved an article, I guess...?
Re: The Nintendo Switch Has Exceeded 114 Million Units Sold
@darkswabber People already pointed it out, but I don't think your numbers are correct.

Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Persona 5 Royal On Switch
It runs and looks fine, I'm already 30+ hours in and liking it at a lot.
Re: Switch Sales Have Only Now Surpassed The Xbox One In The UK
No Fifa* or CoD on Switch.
*The proper version.
Re: Japanese Charts: Bayonetta 3 Debuts In Second As PlayStation 5 Outsells Switch
I guess CoD and Star Ocean plus the upcoming GoW pushed the PS5 sales. I guess it will be back to normal when Pokémon releases.
Re: Rating For 'Ghost Trick' Has Been Spotted In Korea
Seeing as this game is rare and crazy expensive on the DS, I would love for a port (and/or a new game) on Switch!
Re: Front Mission 1st: Remake Finally Locks In Release Date On Switch
Am I understanding it correctly that there will be a physical release?
Re: The First Review For Square Enix's Farming RPG Harvestella Is Now In
It feels like this will be a solid 7/10, with some 6's and 8's here and there. Which means a pretty good game!
Re: Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Would Love To See Call Of Duty On Nintendo Switch
How many "Person X would love to see game Y on Switch" articles have you written during your time at NL, Liam? 😂
Edit: So my comment doesn't get misunderstood, this is not a jab at Liam/NL. I just think it's funny how often we see these kind of quotes.
Re: Sega Veteran And Industry Legend Rieko Kodama Has Passed Away, Aged 59
Impressive resumé! Phantasy Star is one of the best JRPG franchises and the SEGA Ages series is just awesome. I've heard plenty of great things about Skies of Arcadia as well.
Too young. My condolences.

Re: Talking Point: Given The Voice Artist Controversy, Will You Be Boycotting Bayonetta 3?
@MattT3142 Yeah, seems like petty revenge.
Re: Talking Point: Given The Voice Artist Controversy, Will You Be Boycotting Bayonetta 3?
@MattT3142 Thanks for the info.
Re: Talking Point: Given The Voice Artist Controversy, Will You Be Boycotting Bayonetta 3?
Short answer: No.

Re: Review: NieR:Automata The End of YoRHa Edition - A Modern Classic Shines On Switch
Just finished Xenoblade Chronicles 3 (135+ hours, my GOTY), so this will be perfect to pick up now.

Re: It's Summer Time In Harvestella As Square Enix Shares A Heap Of New Info
@Pillowpants Try the demo!
@StarPoint There were more farming sims from SE in the Direct? But I agree this one looked the most interesting.
Re: Tactics Ogre: Reborn Producer: "We Didn't Think About Making It HD-2D"
I look forward to this game, even though I have it on PSP. I love the visuals. Not everything needs to be HD 2D.
Re: UK Charts: Mario Kart 8 Gains Ground As Splatoon 3 Continues To Dominate
@Anti-Matter But for most people the 48 extra tracks are of great value.

Re: Review: Voice Of Cards: The Beasts Of Burden - The Ace Of The Deck In Yoko Taro's Card RPG Series
@nib0 You never know. Maybe in Asia, with English language support?
Yeah, it's the definition of a hidden gem.
Re: Review: Voice Of Cards: The Beasts Of Burden - The Ace Of The Deck In Yoko Taro's Card RPG Series
Please give us a physical release with all three games!

Impressive! One of the greatest games this year. And that OLED version is a thing of beauty.
Re: Dragon Quest Manga's Video Game Adaptation Gets Simultaneous Global Release
Very cool! Hope it's good! Need more DQ in my life.
Re: Random: Bored Splatoon 3 Players Are Recreating Pong And Screensavers In The Lobby
I've had no problems with the matchmaking. The longest I've had to wait is 40 seconds. It mostly takes 20-30.
Re: Splatoon 3 Connection Issues? Looks Like An Update Is On Its Way
I've had a few disconnects during Turf War, both on my end and on others. Not super often, but enough to slightly annoy me.

The game is extremely fun and addicting!

The Splatoon 3 version is cooler, no doubt!

DioField Chronicle
Trails From Zero

So many words, so little to say.
Re: Review: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R - A Mid-Tier Fighter With Top-Tier Fan Service
Recently got into JoJo via the anime on Netflix, so I got this game last week. It's a fun fighting game. No masterpiece, but very entertaining.
