“ And having a home like Amazon will give us the freedom to be true to the massive scope of Warhammer”
Interesting choice of words. I thought he was going to say “true to the source material”, coz that definitely isn’t happening with Amazon financing it.
@Dragmire No, I don’t. But, this is not the platform to detail the history of suppression. I was just highlighting that it’s the most rampant it’s ever been at this moment and the quote I quoted seems to imply that this person thinks this is an aberration. It is not.
I recently started playing the original base version for Switch. I can’t understand people saying it’s a buggy mess, with hard crashes, etc. I must be 60-70 hours in and haven’t encountered a single bug, crash or whatever. The only thing of note was the frame rate dipped dramatically for about 2 seconds whilst I was running towards a dragon last night. That’s it. Other than that, it’s been perfect. Seriously. Are we playing the same game?
I saw one person comment that the frame rate takes a significant hit after installing the Anniversary edition. Is this true? That would stop me buying it.
I just bought the first one on sale. I had to battle through the opening few hours to wrap my head around it. It is a dense and confusing game. I’m glad I did as I am really loving it. It has a really good, dark fantasy sense of adventure. Almost LoTR-like in vibe in some parts.
Can’t wait for the sequel now. Consider me converted.
I liked the sound of this, until I saw the trailer. I really dislike the art style (looks like fan art) and the song in the trailer (if indicative of the game’s music) was horrific. Not much gameplay on display either.
Prolly some dudebro with backwards baseball cap and lip beard at every EA board meeting going “Nah, dude! Nintendo’s for Kid’s!” then he presses play on his iPod, kicks back and listens to some Sugar Ray whilst lubing up his Xbox duke controller.
This error is happening to me. I downloaded the update before they pulled it and now I cannot update any games. Very frustrating. I’ll take a free eShop game as compensation, Nintendo. Post haste, please.
@Roam85 Same here. I must have rented it from the video shop 50 times when I was a kid. I loved this game so much. Didn’t end up buying it until I was an adult, though lol. I had to have it in my collection.
I go for a power walk or a run 6-7 days a week. 45-60 minutes of free weights 5-6 days a week. 20 minute Ab circuit 3-4 days a week. Eat 100% home cooked meals. Drink 2-4 litres of water per day. And make sure I get at least 10-20 minutes of direct sunlight every day.
This all ensures I will live to 100 years old (or 42, it could go either way, lol).
I hope Nintendo localise the Super Famicom Fire Emblem. I downloaded a fan translation once, but it didn’t work properly and I haven’t tried again since. I REALLY want to play it.
Does anyone know if the North & South remake is any good?
The original was one of my favourite games as a child and I’d love a fun, updated version, but I reckon there’s an 80-90% chance the new one is bad, lol.

Re: Talking Point: Professor Layton And The Lost Franchise: Where Did The Beloved Puzzle Series Go?
I never played it, but from what I can gather from the internet, the last game on Switch bombed (especially in Japan). That’s probably why.
