For me, I can play this for a small chunk. I really only play to see what Pokémon I get. The game itself is very shallow and repetitive.

Which makes it a mobile hit.

As long as I can play a good DQ game without waiting long enough for two more to come out, I would be satisfied

I won’t say I’m thrilled with this. I don’t hate it, but it’s underwhelming and not at al what I need.

Now if this had come out years ago INSTEAD of Pokémon go, I can say I would have been extremely excited.

Beyond the fact that’s its Pokémon, I have no interest in trying this. If I want FTP I can do it on my mobile.

Yes yes yes! I forgot this was coming to the Switch I had just figured I would get it for the PS4, but this is the sort of game that’s much better to have on the go.

I have been going since it’s inception that the Switch would be the go to for RPGs, this year seems to be a good start.

I’m always poo pooing when games don’t come to the Switch. In this case, I can actually understand. They couldn’t have developed the game and if we are honest this would have to be so scaled down to run it would be a different game.

I have never played Monster Hunter, I am CONSIDERING getting this for my PS4, though I am so anti online games it’s jot funny. But as far as the Switch goes, they should just make a new MH for
Switch rather than trying to make World work badly on it.

This is a great game but I already 100% it on PS4. I would have held off of buying it if I had any idea it would have been on Switch.

While I don’t need it, I can understand the want for streaming services. I can understand the browser, even though I use the phone for gaming help . But Facebook is not needed at all. As if people are addicted to social media already, do we need to be able to check in from whatever game you are playing?

Idk, I mean financially it makes sense to get aboard the Switch train, but it seems An EA official would be saying this. I love FIFA, but that Switch version was....lackluster. If they want to bring over a better version, ok, but this was the first FIFA in years I stopped playing FIFA before the season was over.

Anyway, what games would I like see? Honestly I have little faith in EA giving me an actually GOOD sports game, or I would say FIFA and Madden. So dead space, mass effect, or Star Wars would be something I’m interested in.

I’m surprised reading the comments how many people are down on this mini. Until I realized hers are probably people that were aboard the Wii U train. I can understand the disappointment, but I haven’t had a Ninty console in a decade, not counting a DS. These are all new to me.

Based on the sales of the Wii U, lots of people missed out on these games. I do think new games are needed, but I would think any huge 1st party games are being polished and would be more of an E3 announcement for the last quarter of the year.

I have to say I was astounded. 90% of these games are up my alley and I will be looking to get. I didn’t see the hype for the direct, but they delivered much more than I expected.

I actually was interested in this game, really glad it’s making the Switch.

These types of RPGs to be are no brainers, the Switch is perfect for these games.

@Aurumonado

I respect your opinion but also respectfully disagree. Having a Pokémon be locked to a real life location isn’t the same as say only being available by getting badges in a game.

I have always been a proponent of a cyclical exclusivity. Locked Pokémon should rotate say a week of the month, in which that is your chance to catch them. It’s still limited, but at least everyone gets the opportunity.

I am sure I am in the minority, but I always wanted a game like the anime. Before purists go insane, what I mean is I watched the anime before ever having a game. To me, the wonder was exploring the regions, finding and battling Pokémon. Then I play he game and it is a picture of 2 Pokémon facing each other with text saying what move was done.

I always dreamed of roaming an open world, searching far and wide, seeing Pokémon that I could go after, rather than random battles. I imagined Pokémon moving in battle, Charizard flying overhead, Sandshrew burrowing underneath it’s opponent.

I know this is changing he formula that has millions of fans, but to me, being able to move and actually fight would change the dynamics of a stake battle system. And being able to the region In search of Pokémon rather than rustling leaves is a much more immersive experience.

Just my two cents.

The PS2 is the machine of my youth, that firmly won me to the side of Sony. To beat that first year....well it’s a big deal. Of course it was the following years the cemented the PS2 success.

Year 2 and 3 for the Switch will say a lot as far as it’s long term success and how far the hybrid marvel can go. Just as the PS2 captures my youth, the Switch has really carved a place in my late 20s. It’s the perfect system for the way my life is now.

Love AW! I really want to buy this, but at this price and digital only? I’ll probably hold off. I have a serious back log and hope it drops to about $15

I haven’t posted much in the last month, actually have been too busy playing the Switch( as well as Christmas shopping, I spent way too long in a makeup shop begging for help while shopping for my girlfriend) but these are great numbers.

I’m interested in seeing how the holidays bumped sales, and more excited to see how momentum carries into 2018. If Ninty can release games at a decent clip, I think sales will flow. Also I have seen a few comments stating Pokemon, had that actually been confirmed as a 2018 release?

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
Congrats on assimilating lol.

Jokes aside, I didn’t understand why everyone was fussed about your comments. I think there is a section of the gaming community that has the same concerns/complaints that you do. I read your post as like a weathervane to gauge how they regarded the Switch.

Happy Holidays, and good gaming.

The Vita was my dream, which quickly turned into my nightmare. Seriously the Switch so far has done what Sony has no interest in doing with the Vita. I love my PS4, and I love my Switch, I would love to be able to play all games on the go, but I don’t see it.

Sony has no real idea how to support the Vita, or no interest in doing so. Why do I think that changed now? I’m sure they would love to get some of the Switch revenue, but I have doubts they would put in the work so to speak.

I never played the first, but I am excited to try this. Two concerns I have. First I been wanting sweeping rpgs to play at work and school, and this probably can’t be it. I know I could sleep mode in a big battle but I would forget the flow of battle. No big, I can play Skyrim out.

I am a bit concerned about the mounds and mounds of menu choices and things to track. It sounds really daunting. Of course I thought the same when I was told about disgaea, and it wasn’t too bad when I played. I’m hoping XC2 is like that and it makes sense when you play.

I seriously doubt this cereal will taste very good but if there is a NFC chip, I’m also certain I’ll be buying a box, even though it’s Cinnamon Toast Crunch or die in the house for my girlfriend and I.

Genius Nintendo.

That’s great new. Walmart was one of my stops with friends on Black Friday, I was actually surprised to see no dissociation the Switch. I was afraid it might affect sales but..

In other news, they did have both NBA2k18 and Mario vs Rabbids 50% off which I was not expecting.

I have never played Viewtiful Joe, but Okami needs more love period. Rather have a sequel, but I would take a bargain remake for the Switch.

As much as I love old squaresoft, I would rather they continue old franchises rather than remake them.
A new tactics game? Yes please. TWEWY 2? Make it so. But if they gave me both of those remade, I would consider if it was at bargain rates, $20.

Let’s just get those DQ games localized here on Switch too.

I loved Valkyria Chronicles on the PS3! This is exactly the types of games I really want to have on the Switch. Weird thing is I hadn’t really heard any rumblings or rumors of this? Then BAM here it comes.

I’ll download this and give it a try. If nothing else it will get some run on thanksgiving/Black Friday. I don’t really like most mobile free to play games. Having never played Animal Crossing at least this will give me an idea of how the game mechanics work.

Jumping into my first Xeno-experience. The Switch was initially the big hope for me to have huge RPGs. It is a bit worrisome that things get choppy in portable, seeing as a seeeping rpg is going to okayed 65% in portable mode.

Also hoping the story is above average. I played the latest final fantasy, and liked it for a lot of things, but both the story and the wandering band of Bros didn’t really grab me.

I stopped playing a long time ago, but I do my daily check in to get the log in bonus. So I am sure I have quite a bit of in game currency. Maybe I’ll sunmo a few of theee new heroes and se if this makes it fun to play.

Yes I always wild rather wait and get a grwat game then get a broken one on time. Plus the holidays are packed anyway. Good call all around.

Again one of the many titles that I have never played due to having had only a PS4. I would be happy to play the ported ones until a new one is released.

There are so many good games to get, I never expected this in year one!

Doom will get picked up, but with odyssey being the game of play, I’ve decided to wait until Black Friday/cyber Monday to see if there are deals to pick up games.

If not, at least I will have time to play something by then.

I didn’t expect this but it’s grwat news. Not for me, who is rarely somewhere out that has WiFi with my Switch for long enoug to watch a show that I wouldn’t choose to play a game instead...

No this news is great for sales. As well as the Switch is moving units now, imagine the people that would be into buying “the cheap tablet to watch Netflix AND play quality Mario games”.

That’s really optimistic. It’s hard to predict what will happen 6 years in the future with so many variables. I will say that there was a time 60 mill would have been a great success. And it’s intersting that everyone is accepting that as a foregone conclusion.

If someone made me gamble, aka invest in future stock, I would say 85-95 is where I think the Switch hits. And that is nothing to be ashamed of.

What do I WANT or what do I THINK? I would hope for a GOOD Tales, Dark Souls compilation, and Tekken, though I personally would prefer Soulcaliber.

I have no emotional horse in the race, but from what I have seen of Worlds, I couldn’t see how it would work on the Switch. I’m all getting as many big titles to play on the go, but I have a lot to look forward to, so it’s all good.

Other question is do I get this for PS4? I never played Monster Hunter, loooked artificially hard(slow tank like controls), and I don’t like games that “require” me to play with others to progress. Worlds looks a bit different, so I’ll keep a look out.

@JHDK
Me as well my friend.

Also is it just me or has there been a real push for this? I have seen commercials quite a bit. I really hope this is a great game, as much as I loved BOTW and am loving Odyssey, I jumped on board the Switch train to get RPG goodness on the go.

@AG_Awesome

That’s a great idea. It really is win win. Developers can take tried and true games and get samples and Switch owners have great games. I would take the dead space day 1.

I would say it’s 60/40 handheld, but I’m not sure that’s preferred. I have college classes and work, so I’m out of the house a lot. That was the initial reason I wanted a Switch. When I’m home I opt for tv, unless my girlfriend is watching something I don’t like(which is most of the time, I don’t like most tv on the big networks).

As an aside, I’m loving Mario, but it was obviously not intended for handheld use optimally. I’ll have to find a new game to play at school, Doom hurry up!

Please and thanks! I missed a lot of Nintendo gaming as a child because my cuz had a genesis. Shining force 2 was one of my favorite games as a kid I liked meeting new people and seeing who would join.

I love Star Wars, but can't say I have ever been a battlefront fan. I always prefer a meaty single player to online, which I hardly ever play on my PS4, and play less on the Switch.

I would like to have Star Wars on the Swith, but would take story driven action or rpg take. Or give me an all ship battle, I would prefer all of that to a fps

@Maxz

I am confused yet oddly curious about that game. Does it make me weird that I want to see that game on action?

I had relegated this to probably won't be bothered pile. Mainly because there are too many super quality games coming out, and I lack the time and finds for them all. I love FE but find Musou games to be tedious. I really wanted the bonds and strategy and evolving from FE.

This review shows that there actually is some of that, and it doesn't sound like a boring game at all. Still no way to really push it ahead of the 5 must haves I am aiming for by the end of the year, but I will definitely pick this up later(or hopefully just add it to my holiday list and get it as a gift lol)

I'm gladness that Nintendo is accepting this. There are a wide variety of gamers that play a wide variety of games. Switch can expand its user base wit he ability to play some big name Fps.

This doesn't mean that Nintendo has to change the games they make, just be more willing to allow third parties to bring more diverse titles.

I've been vocal as to how much I'm looking forward to meaty RPGs on the Switch which is why I'm double dipping on Skyrim. But as a person that never played XC1, will that stop me from enjoying XC2?

It sounds like it's a good game. And with that said, I won't buy it at full price, as a personal protest against the game being release in such a state. I picked up FIFA day one, and while I regret that the presentation is lacking, the game is fully playable and fun. I can't say the day with what I have heard and seen of 2k day one.

The sad part? I have bought the current 2k for my PS4 the last 2 Black Fridays at a considerable doscount($30 each time). I was going to indulge for the switch, but if the Switch version is full price, as I fully expect it to be, and the PS4 version is at half off for Black Friday, as I expect it to be....

Well maths is maths.

These are the games I was envisioning when I preordered the Switch. Skyrim, Doom, Fifa on the go, not just out of the house, but on the couch while my girlfriend watches the voice. I was blindsided with how good BOTW is, since I don't even like Zelda games. I'm prepared to be astounded at odyssey as well.

All I need is to have those meaty RPGs (Persona which wound happen) to make the Switch and this console is everything a young me wanted the Vita to be.

I am interested in having sports on the go. Bought FIFA, and am waiting to see how this patch fixes 2K18 before I cosonder this. Really madden on the go is what I'm looking for.

I do think the review specifically said that this game is a no go as is. Anyone that needs a number to understand that should realize that's a failing in themself. I think the arbitrary number system is useless anyway, how many times does a game receive a 7 or 8? It's almost pointless. A good review gives you the info and you make the decision based on this information.

I will say the fact that this was even released was disagcaceful. But the "punishment" people want to be levied by giving the game a low number isn't going to happen. If the game doesn't sell, there just isn't a release in the Switxh next year. I won't buy a bad game just to get a sequel, no one should be satisfied with this digital release. I just ask that commenters think before making accusations of a pass being given.

Mario odyssey, doom, and XC2 is what I voted on and all are preordered. I will definitely pick up skyrim. LA noire and Revelations I will probably get at a price drop, simply too many games to play, no point in buying them at full price to not get touched for months.

@Knighty_IX

If I could hire you for Hasbro advertising I would. I haven't played monopoly in 12 years but your description made me want to gather all my frenemies and sup on their dreams washed down with a vintage bottle of tears.

Thimble forever. What is already dead can never truly die.

@AndrewJ

Great points, you but this for the portability plain and simple. And I dare anyone to find a better sports game on the go, I'll wait. I do agree, FIFA 19 will need to bring a bit more to the table.
