Hmm. To me, If a game crashes at all without doing something to intentionally break the game then it deserves a lower score. I review games too so I know I would dock it’s score just for that. Hearing about the game now, I won’t be getting it. Not just for the reviews even though they contributed to it but the crashes itself ruins the game for me a lot. Also have a backlog so I probably wouldn’t get it anytime soon anyway lol. No one seems to remember but this game was originally billed for the switch successor and the developers didn’t think the switch could handle it. Maybe now we know why even though this game doesn’t look too demanding at all. 🤷‍♂️

Basically the same as last week for me. I did finish paper Mario 64 on switch last week. Beat it for like the nth time. Lol. Star ocean 2 the second story r is my main priority as usual. Megaman battle network collection as I am playing Megaman battle network 4 red sun right now. Played and completed the other blue moon version on my gba. Trying to find 13 sentinels so me and my friend can play together. Of course all of these games are on switch

Playing star ocean 2 the second story r and possibly doing some Megaman battle network collection and paper Mario 64 on switch. But star ocean is priority since it’s a backlog and i haven’t beaten it whereas I beaten nearly every Megaman battle network game on gba and beaten paper Mario 64 several times 😂

Zelda totk is my most played on switch but not my favorite game of the year that I have played. That honor goes to Nier automata on switch. One of the best games I played ever in my opinion. Persona 5 Royal too. Live a live was amazing as well and it was like my biggest surprise game in the way that I didn’t expect the game to be that good. Yes I know it came out in 2022 like the other 2 games but I have a big backlog to go through. 😂

@Duck_Farmer you can play it but you still won’t understand certain things in the end of the game like certain characters near the end. You get more out of Xenoblade 3 if you played 1 and 2. There aren’t that standalone in my opinion. They are all connected. The dlc for 3 really brings everything together too.

Good luck on Metroid’s prime’s final boss. I struggled with it too. Barely beat him.

Just got done Zelda tears of the kingdom yesterday. Better then botw definitely but not a big fan of the story. Game was way too long then it needed to be in my opinion. This weekend I am playing persona 5 Royal(trying to start the fifth palace), star ocean 2 second story demo, maybe some Megaman battle network collection(playing part 1 now since it’s the only one I never touched in the past). Still waiting for my baten kaitos physical game copy to come. So slow 🤦‍♀️ 😂

For people doubting it. I am pretty sure docked mode is where you see higher spec improvements. Handheld mode will likely not look as good for obvious reasons. Also it probably only looks like that on the surface for the Ps5 looks but in reality it’s probably ps4 pro level or somewhere around the ball park which is what I am hearing which is still pretty good. Docked mode can have the capability to unlock more from a switch 2 if done right. It kind of already does in a switch 1 but it’s very limited of course.

Ugh. I don’t hate botw or totk but I don’t want to see that game over and over again. I want to see some new 2D Zeldas and 3D traditional ones like ocarina. I think there is room for all to exist. Give botw style ones a few years to show up every now and again since they take a long time to make. I know people might not agree with me here but I am just tired of exploring all the time and getting no story, reward or battling enemies sometimes. Climbing is annoying. Bothered the hell out of me in botw. Totk I am not sure how much climbing is involved but there seems to be a lot of the same as botw. Still pretty much in the beginning of it anyways. Oh well

Completely agree with what one person said on here about totk and their fear of possibly being repetitive. Botw was repetitive after a long while. Just got tired of exploring and climbing empty mountains and getting nothing rewarding or nothing in return for it. Also it’s lack of story didn’t keep me interested in it much at all but that’s just me. I liked botw still but it’s hard to ignore the issues I had with it after I realized I had like 200 hours in it. 😂. I just don’t want to play the same game over again when it’s very long like botw. I am not saying totk is the same yet but hiding from the trailers I don’t know if it has enough to be different for me. I hope so since I preordered this game a long time ago. I hope there is a much better story and it’s not just exploring and that’s it. At least the dungeons look way better this time around even if there long. I hated the divine beasts in botw. It was so repetitive. Each one looked and played the same to me. This is all just my opinion for anyone that wants to bash me here. 😂

Cool. I am glad it’s good. I am glad to see the main characters from 1 and 2. I like Xenoblade 3 but it doesn’t overall compare to Xenoblade 1 which is still the best to me. It definitely had the best story to me. 2 was good too but not as much as 1. Xenoblade 3 definitely has the best fighting mechanics but it’s a little overwhelming with introducing all of it and it can get a bit much sometimes. Like someone said here, I am a little disappointed that future redeemed dlc doesn’t have a different battle system like torna did but 3 has a pretty good battle system so it’s ok. Can’t wait to see what’s new for Xenoblade. Hoping they do a whole different story and not reference much from the first 3.

Kinda of Don’t really agree with your assessment on Megaman not having a huge presence on GameCube. Thought it had a pretty good presence on GameCube especially compared to n64 lol. It had the all the classic megamans in one collection which included games that a lot of people didn’t get to play plus megaman network transmission was and STILL is exclusive to GameCube. Megaman x command mission was a new game at the time too even though it was also on pS2 I believe. Capcom put Megaman on there in various forms for GameCube. The Wii and Wii U didn’t do much for Megaman at all except for Virtual console and some classic Megaman games. Like Megaman 9 and some appearances in other games like smash bros. I know it’s nitpicking but just thought I had to say it.

Btw, I would love to see legends come back. Always been a dream for me to play legends 3 in a complete form even though I know it’s impossible sadly 😢.

@Henchdog yes. Correct. Japan basically has a law saying that foreign companies can’t buy companies in Japan. Otherwise Microsoft would have had one by now. Lol. Nintendo owns the majority stake. So they can’t be bought out by people anyway. Nintendo sets a limit on how many shares are public and let whoever grabs them.

Sorry to hear about people being disappointed about not having the English dub but for me I am glad I get to play it with Japanese voices since I tend to only play games with the original voices. I know a little and study Japanese as well so I can tell what’s a good translation and a bad one sometimes 😂. It is weird that bandai didn’t include both as an option. They usually do duel audio support 🧐. Maybe they will put it in as an update later down the line? I am definitely preordering these. Can’t wait to play.

@JohnnyMind it’s too much like persona. I am just saying fire emblem doesn’t need a lot of it in my opinion. I also heard it’s not as fillerish as 3H. It has more battles. You are correct in it being optional but you would seem to be missing out on a lot of stuff if you just ignore all of it. My point was that 3H was too much. Doing all 3 or rather 4 routes was crazy. 😂. I am a bit of a fire emblem veteran. I loved awakening. And the older fire emblems. 3H was ok. Just thought it has too much flaws in the story. Just my opinion

Glad to hear it doesn’t have as much filler stuff as 3H. That was one of its many downsides to me. This game also doesn’t seem to be crazy long like 3H which is also a plus to me. Can’t wait to play it

Good to hear. 3 houses didn’t look good to me a lot of the time. Didn’t hate the game. Just felt a bit bland. Although there are a lot more things I didn’t care for in 3 houses in general. I can’t wait to play engage. It looks great! Only problem I have is the whole filler hub area. Too much to do. Main reason why I didn’t want to do all of the routes of 3 houses. Hopefully this game is just one long playthrough rather then 3 or more multiple playthroughs.

Hmmm... I am currently playing bravely default on my 3DS. Yes, I haven’t played it much at all when I got it years ago. 😂. Also will be playing Nier automata, persona 5 Royal, Bayonetta 3 and live a live on switch.

Merry Christmas and Happy holidays everyone!

@Warioware SPOILERS yeah. I forgot about that which had nopon play an important role in this time around. Don’t get why the nopon didn’t speak up about all that either like you said. Surely they would have told some people about this. I think that is a huge hole in this story and another reason why I didn’t like Xenoblade 3’s story all that much. Would like some answers too. Also I hated how they don’t give much into the true queens story. Like how the heck did nia become a queen. There is nothing Royal about her at the end of Xenoblade 2 😂. Melia is understandable.

Yup. Xenogears is playstation 1. I didn’t finish it either. I hope I will get to it once I get my backlog down more 😬. I am the same on Bayonetta origins. If people like it then I will give it a try.

@Warioware lol. Yeah. Since this is SPOILERS, I will say that I agree with the 6 ouroboros statement since I remember a scene in Xenoblade 3 where one of the characters was looking at the statues of the founders funny. Did you notice that one of the founders looks exactly like one of the main characters from Xenogears(if you ever played it) 🧐? Also I forgot about the Riku and Melia thing. Yeah I want some explanation for that too along with some other stuff. Also yes. As you you said. They said Xenoblade 3 will conclude klaus’s experiment which lead to these worlds/universes being created. So we should see an all brand new story next game. Don’t know if that includes the dlc story for 3. That could even be about Noah and mio’s child in that one parallel universe or about another parallel universe entirely that Noah saw in that one scene. One thing I did hear though is that this dlc story will be about as long as the torna dlc from Xenoblade 2. Gotta get my backlog down before I play that 😂

Agreed about Bayonetta 3. It’s normal to have high expectations after 2. I loved Bayonetta 2. It was my favorite one in the series. I won’t give up on the series either but the next one better be good lol. Also I don’t know how I feel about that Bayonetta origins side game. It doesn’t look like my kind of game at all but I might give it a chance since it’s Bayonetta still 🤷‍♀️

Sorry for the long rant. Lol

@Warioware no worries. I completely agree with you. I think what you said was valid. Shame though since they are series that I enjoy a lot. More so then some other series. As for dlc story for Xenoblade 3, I have a few good guesses on what it’s going to be about. POSSIBLE SPOILERS: A story about the seven heroes/founders, or what characters like the queens were up to leading up to Xenoblade 3, the future after Xenoblade 3 ended, or something entirely different that links to the next game in the series, Whether it be Xenoblade 4 or a spin-off or a whole new xeno something. There is a lot they can do. Hopefully that will be better although I don’t care for some of the Xenoblade 3 characters that much so I don’t want them to return 😂. I know that sounds mean but I like the characters from the other games better.

@Warioware I feel the same way you do. I like Bayonetta 3 gameplay wise except for the performance issues. but the ending and stuff is disappointing. Although I heard about that for a while lol. I do especially agree with Xenoblade 3. I like the game of course and while it is my favorite game of the year that’s on switch specifically, I didn’t get to play a lot of other switch games this year because I am backlogged on other games. Also I agree that the other Xenoblade games are overall better. I love Xenoblade 1. Still my favorite Xenoblade and one of my favorite games of all time. I liked 2 as well. I haven’t played through all of X yet. Xenoblade 3 is good but it’s story and characters weren’t as good as Xenoblade 1 to me. I know it’s an unpopular opinion but I don’t care. Xenoblade 3 did not look good at times. It was still a blurry mess in portable mode. Not as much as 2 but still. It didn’t help that Xenoblade 3 kept crashing on me more compared to 2

@Sisilly_G you’re not wrong at all. I understand you. I feel the same way about fire emblem 3 houses but I don’t say anything because almost everyone around love it says it’s like the best one which I don’t believe at all. I love awakening. It’s my favorite fe or one of my top favorites. 3 houses got a little too much for me and I abandoned it for a while before coming back to it like a year later after it came out to finish it. Even then I only finished one route and the dlc story. I didn’t like the story much at all either. I like other fire emblem stories better. Everyone has an opinion. Lol. That being said I will likely get engage because it doesn’t look like 3 houses to me with the whole “you have to choose one school” and keep playing the game over and over for like 300 hours just to play all routes. That’s another big problem I had with 3 houses. 😂.

Guess I will wait for the next switch or whatever it is so I can buy it natively. Cloud as an option is fine I guess but not when it is forced on people. This is my opinion of course but I know others feel the same. 😕

Love this game so much!! For those of you wanting a sequel it seems like platinum games has already been working on it for a while. One leaker I follow says it’s slated for release sometime in 2023. I assume late 2023. I know we should take it with a grain of salt but there is a lot of hints that support this like takahisa taura who did the first one said he was hard at work on another game(didn’t say which game). Someone from platinum said so anyway. Also Nintendo buying the IP means that they can’t be done with just one game in the franchise. I know this is a thought but I think it’s a valid one.

@Glrd Nintendo said that middle life cycle crap back in 2020. Don’t always believe what Nintendo says at face value. They did this for the 3ds model saying it’s not coming out but then it comes out a couple of weeks later. Plus middle of the life cycle can mean something else like it’s at the end of the middle of the life cycle. That’s being said there is no certainty that a new switch will come next year but I highly doubt it Nintendo will wait until like 2027 to release a switch successor. That’s nuts 😂. Also Nintendo can just release a switch 2 and still keep the switch 1. It’s called cross gen. Sony and Microsoft are doing this and Nintendo did this to a certain extent. Having a switch 2 doesn’t automatically mean the switch 1 dies right then and there. People will still games for it for a while since it has such a huge install base

Hmm 🤔. For the people that don’t know. The other Megaman battle network games not in the collection is the DS one of part 5 which combines both versions and adds some stuff to it as well. It’s a good game in my opinion but I can see why it would be very hard to add to the collection. There is also the crossover of Megaman battle network 1 and Megaman starforce but I think that was only released in Japan. There is also Megaman battle network chip challenge which has completely different gameplay and takes place after 3 but before 4 I think 🤔 but I didn’t care much for that game but it was a gba game. And finally there is Megaman battle network 4.5 for gba which of course was never released outside Japan. There is a fan translation of it that was completed not too long ago. I liked that game. It had potential. Played a little differently but I liked it. I guess a Star force collection and Megaman legends collection are the last 2 we need. Oh and Megaman zx which only has 2 games.

For me: working through my backlog as usual 😂.
I am playing super robot taisen og endless frontier for the original DS on my 3DS

The house of dead remake on switch. Should be finished with it soon

The live a live demo on switch. Loving it so far even though the ninja story is complex. 😂

And if I have some time, the fire emblem shadow dragon(remake of the very first fire emblem game) game on the original DS which I bought for the Wii U virtual console.

Maybe play some games on my n64 and genesis online service on switch too

Definitely getting day 1 physical. Too good not to get it. October is going to be a very packed month for me lol

😂. Like some people here are saying I got to get Xenoblade 3 and this. Ugh. I need to find the time to play these games. Need to get my backlog down too.

Some of those companies are only going to be there in limited capacity since Sony and Microsoft are technically doing their own things around June. Nintendo obviously will too. Some leakers are saying the same in Nintendo’s case. It never needed summer games fest. Lol

@Axecon completely agree with you. Summer games fest is boring to me because those companies including Nintendo don’t do the summer games fest thing. I know Geoff is trying to push that on us but last year’s was the worst. Didn’t have any companies I care about there. 😂. I like E3 better despite what people said about it.

@nilcam same here. Lol. You are not the only one. Last I played was fire emblem warriors which just was bad to me.

This was completely unexpected. I wonder why they are released in the summer this early instead of making it a near holiday release? Great 🤦‍♂️. I got to complete smt5 sooner then I wanted to before I dive into Xenoblade 3

@sixrings People in general hate EA and activision. Not just switch owners like you say. EA hates Nintendo and their fans in general from what I have seen over the years if you look at their history. 😂. EA was voted one of top most hated companies like twice I think. Disney threatened to take the Star Wars ip away from them after what they did. That being said I don’t know what this article is for? 😂. Nintendo doesn’t have gamepass nor does it need it in my opinion. Nintendo just needs to make their online services better by themselves.

@Specter_of-the_OLED that’s fine. That’s your opinion. My opinion is that there is too many of them and they are all the exact same to me. Same combat. Even same story where they add in a useless character from koei tecmo that’s a one off character. Fire emblem is better as it was originally in my opinion. Which is a strategy Rpg

Good grief. Please platinum. Don’t let yourself be bought by anyone. You are great on your own. For Microsoft and Sony. Like what some people on here are saying, go freaking buy Ubisoft. Leave platinum games alone.

As long as I get Japanese voice acting as an option which should be standard in Japanese made games then I am fine with whatever lol.

I can’t believe the big fire emblem game is a stupid warriors game. I hate that they are giving koei tecmo all these ips and turn them into warriors games 🤦‍♀️. And it’s 3 houses at that. I think 3 houses is okay but not the best fire emblem game at all. It was way too long too. I did like the direct. Was disappointed about kingdom hearts still being cloud. Hopefully square saying they will consider a native port on switch if they get enough fan feedback is not empty words. But I won’t hold my breath. No Zelda news is a little disappointing but I understand that it will be saved for e3(hopefully). Front mission and live a live was a good surprise. Will likely get. Xenoblade chronicles 3 was my absolute favorite reveal. Love Xenoblade. Hopefully they include a Japanese voice option.

Scary how Microsoft is going on a shopping spree for companies. For the people that say Nintendo and Microsoft have a good relationship. That’s only on the surface in my opinion since Nintendo wants to keep doing their own thing while Microsoft wants to be in everyone else’s business. Nintendo and Microsoft still compete against each other just not as much as Sony.

Hmm for this year so far. I am definitely getting Mario party superstars and SMT5. I might get metriod dread and advance wars but I have only gotten into metriod not long ago. I want to play the older games first to understand the story. Advance wars 1 and 2 I already played and beaten but I don’t own 1. I only played it on computer. I have part 2 on the Wii U VC. Legend of zelda and Bayonetta 3 are definite buys. I stopped playing Pokémon when it reached gen 4 although I have new Pokémon snap. Maybe I will get back into Pokémon with these new games but I have too much for my backlog so likely not. Metroid prime 4, like dread I need to play more games in the series before I get it. Triangle strategy I was disappointed in the demo a lot. It’s lost the charm of octopath which is one of my recent favorite rpgs. I hope they improve it and add dual audio otherwise I might skip it. I don’t care about switch oled at all. I might get get that Zelda game and watch because it looks cool and has 4 games on it.

Hmmm.... is it me or do some of those levels remind me of the n64 Pokémon snap? Like that river level from this video reminds me of the river jungle level in the original Pokémon snap. Also that badlands level reminds me of canyon river level from the n64 one which both had gyarados.

I call bullsh*t on Nintendo. They always say no plans so nothing is really denied on that. About the margins though. I do believe the minority on this site saying that Nintendo is obviously making more money with switch oled. Probably not a lot more but I definitely think more. It’s still using the very aging internals of the base switch and most technology always goes down on cost sooner or later. The switch oled dock has almost nothing going on for it and they are charging a crazy price for the original docks. This is just my opinion of course. I know a lot of people will bash me here but I don’t care.

Would love both of them on there. I think it’s possible without the cloud considering it’s at 900p 60fps on the base Xbox one for automata at least and it runs fine. The switch could maybe do 720p docked. Maybe. Or just be a switch pro exclusive(yes I believe there will be a little bit of exclusives games) or maybe all switch models will get it but it would run not well on regular switches and the pro would run it like a PlayStation 4 would. Who knows?

@jbreez00 I was exaggerating it a little but the groundwork is already laid out now. Google stadia. It’s nothing but a subscription cloud based service. The only thing you need is a controller. There are other companies that are looking into cloud gaming only and essentially getting rid of physical games. Google definitely wants to get rid of physical games. Their mission is clear. Lol. But luckily they are not doing that well now.

@Brummieendo90 thanks for saying that. I completely agree. Lol

I guess I am the only one that’s not keen on more Microsoft stuff coming to the switch. But seriously I am fine that no Xbox streaming services are coming to the switch. Let Nintendo do their own thing and make it better hopefully. Microsoft is trying to take over everything and it wants to appease Nintendo to beak in more into the Japanese market lol. I do agree with the statement that if the Xbox streaming service does come to switch some people will just play only Xbox games and not any switch games which is not ideal for Nintendo. Also I hate streaming games. I think companies are trying to force it down our throats rather then make it an option in the future. I like Nintendo to be Nintendo and Xbox can do its own thing. Maybe I just see more bad than good. Lol. Just my opinion.

@Crono1973 yeah. You are right. It was. It was in development for PS3 first, since development of big games like that usually take a while. I think it was the last ps3 game, in America at least.

@Crono1973 I don’t see it that way. I have been to others boards for years and port beggars as you call them are everywhere. Some of us are not starved for games either like you said. I know you want to make fun of me and other people but not everybody plays every type of game out there. Almost no one has time for that. There are specific games and genres that people like. People that like jrpgs would generally love to play persona 5. Not some warriors/musou sequel. I have personally had enough of those types of games. They are repetitive to me and others. But that’s another story. If we want a game that is not exclusive to a system then of course people will ask for it. Especially if it isn’t too technically demanding and if it’s popular enough.

@TheFrenchiestFry I know and I am pretty sure other people know not to bug a communications manager. People know they don’t make games or budgets for them. I am trying to say that people don’t know who to contact since game companies generally don’t have direct line for anybody to reach them or even if they do, guarantee that there message would even be read by a person at the top of the company who makes decisions. But the communications person was right though. You just have to say what you want. I am not saying everyone is going to get what they want of course but at least try

@TheFrenchiestFry I can agree with some things you said but you should continue to voice your requests to some extent. Especially this game because even a communications managers from AtlusUSA told us to keep telling them what we want which is persona 5. It actually doesn’t have to be personal 5 royal. I am happy with the original. If people from a company is saying it’s okay to say what we want from them, then we are doing something right and not doing any harm in saying “can we please get a switch port of persona 5”. If people are being mean about it, then I can agree with on that. But not everyone is annoying about it, they just get drowned out by the people who are.
