@cheesedude "Lots of down time where nothing happens." Just like real fishing!

I'm tempted to try this out, Joe Dever's Lone Wolf had me wanting more gamebook-style narratives.

Would be pretty awesome if it was Tron 2.0: Killer App (the enhanced Xbox port).

Hope Sega gives us a Panzer Dragoon release date soon.

I hope you guys review SaGa: Scarlet Graces Ambitions. I'm eager to know how it handles the usual SaGa conventions (breakable weapons, no experience points, etc.).

@JR150 I didn't say "bad", I said "strange". This is up there with EA only porting Mass Effect 3 to the Wii U, or if Spike Chunsoft somehow only decided to port Zero Time Dilemma to the Switch without 999 and Virtue's Last Reward to precede it.

Yeah, it's great the game is getting wider audience exposure, but it comes with the caveat that newcomers will be scratching their heads at why plot details are highlighted as important.

Considering how continuity-heavy Trails is in general, starting the series with the third installment is a very strange choice. Ys could skate by because each game is just "Adol explores such-and-such a place" with just a few references to past adventures, but... yeah, Trails is a tough one to just jump into the middle of the plot.

@snorecat Quinn is Melissa Hutchison, a/k/a Clementine in Telltale's Walking Dead.

I really wish this was an easier game to recommend. It's like curling up with some Tennessee Williams or John Steinbeck, and it's neat watching the various tall tales evolve as they spread across the country. At the very least, people should acquire the soundtrack somehow.

When they were new, I always prefered The 7th Guest to Myst (since they were the two big CD-ROM rivals at the time) because it was fully animated over Myst's slideshow presentation with occasional video. Looking at them now, Myst has aged much better in its allowance for the player to draw conclusions about the setting, plus the concept of Ages and Writing linking books to/from them is just incredible.

@link3710 Which probably wasn't that difficult, considering Capcom's already present in the game. If it was a FromSoftware, EA or Falcom character, it'd be more eye-raising.

@Juanblue85 Jill's spirit is her RE1 look and the fight is in Luigi's Mansion, undeniably representing Spencer Mansion, so Ganondorf is likely playing the Tyrant from that game.

@link3710 Because it's a highly-regarded franchise, and Switch can play a majority of its installments now. Spirits aren't always explicit tie-ins.

@Sihy The Spirit Board will more frequently throw you spirits you don't currently have, including ones you've found before and dismissed or used to summon, so just try and have one of each to maximize the odds of getting ones you're missing.

An unexpected treat.

Must be to implement a $100 subscription service. 9_9

@Xylnox That kind of reasoning is what earned Herzog Zwei horrendous scores from EGM back in the day...

"W-Well, Technosoft makes 2D scrolling shooters... and this game is 2D, scrolls, and contains shooting... so it's obviously one of those! And it's AWFUL at that!
... What? Real-time strategy? WTF are you talking about???"

@Mr_Persona They've demonstrated several times that they can move the characters around to make room as they require.

Call me nuts, and I still would prefer an Eternal Darkness rep (Alex if Spirits can be "promoted", Pious if not) and/or Adol Christin of Ys over this idea, but... I think a POW Armor from R-Type would be a really inspired choice.

Smash in general is lacking in shoot-em-up content; the Vic Viper would have been a great Assist Trophy, but no sign of it, and since controlling a starship is out of the question for balance reasons, the POW Armor being playable in previous R-Type games makes it a nice choice, since it could hop and hover around like it does as an NPC but still have access to the familiar R9 Arrowhead range of weaponry, and then the R9 itself could come in as its Final Smash.

Color me intrigued.

Hoping Astral Chain and RingFit get some Spirits. And for old games, show Geist and Endless Ocean some love.

I love it, they get frustrated with Game Freak/TPC and say that they're going to do the work themselves to replenish the National Dex, and then they get fed up with the time and effort required to do so and say they hope someone else does it for them. XD

@CaPPa The Kinect-based DCs all supported multiplayer, which includes 1-3 on 360 and DC Spotlight on Xbox One. DC VR would obviously be very expensive to get all the required gear for, but it too supports multiplayer.

"There's no better dance simulation out there." You should probably clarify this with "on Switch", because otherwise, Harmonix's Dance Central games blow Just Dance out of the water.

This must be an indie-centric Black Friday coming up — Where the Water Tastes Like Wine comes out at the end of the month, too. https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/where-the-water-tastes-like-wine-switch/

Man. Using a sauna fully clothed. That's a whole other level of hardcore if they pick the "More Steam" option.

@betterbygames And Suikoden, Gradius/Salamander/Parodius, Rocket Knight Adventures, Bomberman, give the Bemani rights to Harmonix...

On the one hand, they're actually supporting it instead of just sending it out to die.

On the other... Unless they do something about that overheat system and the graphics (and even that is just a bandage on a gaping machete wound), it'll always be the same crummy game.

@Devann Sooo... "unbiased"? "Unprejudiced"? What would you prefer? I'm saying I like he's just acting like an average Joe having fun in them.

@PBandSmelly It's probably its own special limited-permissions document available for copy-pasting at this point.

We'll see if Ninty tweets out an announcement of Sakurai's Terry gameplay demonstration tomorrow.

I have to say, I like how impersonal and friendly his new method is. Just him sitting back, describing the character and showing off their moveset in real time.

The eyeless ghost of the maid in Eternal Darkness.

"I CAN'T GET THE BLOOD OUT!!!"

@NImH Bendy and the Ink Machine is NOTHING like Cuphead in terms of gameplay and atmosphere. This game walks the exact same walk as Cuphead, even lifting some animation frames wholesale.

And Giana Sisters being a shameless ripoff/clone got Nintendo involved via suing them. Not the best comparison!

Coming soon: The Elder Scrolls Blades 1st. Pay $100 a year to give gamers the offline single-player game they so desperately desire.

Okay, this is stupidly cool. Digging it.

@TheFox Nintendo published it because they co-own the franchise now. Ever since Fatal Frame 4, it's been a joint effort, hence why Smash Ultimate has Yuri as an assist trophy and spirits of Mio & Mayu (representing Fatal Frame 2's remake); Smash 3DS has a trophy of Maya from Spirit Camera..

@BarefootBowser A) The GamePad has a maximum range where it can function away from the base console, and treating it like a complete AR experience would expose that limitation quickly, B) Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir did that as mentioned previously, which I didn't think was too bad, but the 3DS's... lacking cameras made some parts pretty finnicky. To its credit, Fatal Frame 5 used the GamePad pretty darn well as the camera, even letting you take portrait shots to do a bit more damage if you tilted the Pad sideways.

And then there's poor Ghostwire, which ended up never finding a publisher. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIlxo-X5t5w

Either a new one or ports of the first five (assuming the glitches in 4 are fixed) would be marvelous.

Gotta love Vernon have all his stats at 1.

For a sprite edit, this doesn't look half-bad, and the selectable characters certainly run the gamut of well-known to obscure. If they included the Tournament Fighter-exclusive characters, all the better.

New Gargoyle's Quest/Demon's Crest please!

The Digimon double-pack is such a fantastic deal. Great mini-series!

Epic Games: "So long, and thanks for all the money you gave us!"

As far as tabletop horror gaming goes, I really hope a developer partners with Wizards of the Coast someday to produce a Betrayal at House on the Hill video game. They could even set it up such that multiplayer on multiple Switches gave each player a custom look at the board, to aid in hiding the activities of the traitor.

And no, playing it in Tabletop Simulator is not the same thing. Stupid clunky interface.

Gimme dem D&D games!

@Ventilator Technically they didn't. They closed their doors in 2001 to bankruptcy, and their assets were all sold to Playmore, which was founded by SNK's original founder, who eventually rebranded the whole thing under the original company name.

Just do what Gradius does, increase the number of continues you can use with each Game Over until free play is enabled.

Ah, yes, "Girl from Hajimari no Mori". Because naming that Spirit "Komurasaki" would just make too much sense.

@Heavyarms55 And yet the Switch has no Mass Effect Trilogy, Dead Space Trilogy, any PopCap games, The Sims...

@Azikira We all know Daisy's the killer in -that- scenario.

Behaviour should have negotiated to include a Nintendo IP-exclusive killer to sweeten the pot and draw attention away from the graphics downgrade. Pious Augustus from Eternal Darkness almost writes itself in terms of gameplay potential, and they could have twisted Geist's John Raimi into an antagonist as a result of the trauma of his forcible body separation.
