At least FF14 has an excuse of being a legacy live service...
Warzone isn't even that old in comparison

Custom Robo Battle Revolution. Would like to play that.

of course, I don't want any censorship in the game. the OG was already pretty bad about that when it came to anything anime.... in their anime game....

If this was its own customized difficulty mode, I wouldn't have much of an issue, but calling it an "accessibility mode" definitely rubs me the wrong way.

@Zeebor15 Eve being your friend is one of the tamer ads I've seen.

@MisterStu After seeing Obake PAM and many other vtubers keep up with playing Nikke, no it is not.

@JohnnyMind I think it has more to do with mimicking an old KR tv ad when things were more nostalgic and optimistic? wouldn't surprise me

I'll give it that these tags don't sound pretentious. Some people wanna call removing personality from a game an "accessibility feature" simply because they don't like what the game offers (blech)

In fact, I can see some of these being useful for handheld mode like text scaling.

The "Mouse only" tag would be pretty interesting too, since it's an underrated feature of the system.

Personally, none of this is enough to sway me away from buying a game. Though I will be cautious towards rapid pressing QTEs since the OG GoW games have already fooked up my wrists before with their unneeded button mashing sequences.

Side note, they should also add "dual subtitles" as a feature, so you can experience a game in your language and one you're learning one your friend knows better while playing. VNs like Nekopara already to this! :3

Doesn't work for me...

Huke-sensei's old BRS artstyle still stands out. that old stain glass chandelier look in the aesthetics still looks iconic 20 years later

Finally. Avoided this until it got this. Lets see if I can sneak this in by that time.

@NintonicGamer Well except the first one. Easy skip

@OwenGamer22 I think that's slightly off to say that about last year. E33 used it when the tech was still new and shiny, and only for one texture before realizing it wasn't for them

Personally, I don't care "how many companies use it". If they're going to use it to skip the creative process, I want nothing to do with them. It's why I'm more lenient on vibe coding (to an extent) and vocal splicing the lines of VAs with player inputted AI dialogue (like your name)

@YoshiAngemon The fact that it's too far along?

"with the video delving into topic like murder, drug use, and blatant sexual references, it's clear that these aren't subjects that Nintendo wants associated with its characters"

cough Bayonetta, Fire Emblem, Xenoblade cough cough Famicom Detective Club COUGH

damnit NintendoLife, what the hell are you trying to use to keep the air clean?

Still no online splitscreen like the All Stars games.

Bring it back!!!

@Penguinpengy Most of the time, "wholesomeness" on these mod managed social media sites means the mods are power hungry arses who bans everyone who doesn't agree with their pedantic behavior while also having skeletons in their closet....

So ya know.... The internet!!!

@Yalloo Then just play a musou....

@Yalloo Bayonetta in brand only tho... ya know people pick up the Bayonetta series for the style action combat, right? Style Action fans have very paticular standards

@Yalloo That would be redundant! Isn't Bayo already an action game with more depth than a musou?!

@Nei compared to other PS360 era games that were deluded into thinking that was realism, Bayo at least has a stylistic excuse of heaven's embrace to look that way. So I wouldn't change that either.

Considering the game still looks fine and a PC version can be bought for 5 bucks on PC and run on a modern potato, I just don't see the point.

@Nei The only thing they need to fix about the OG game is the stupid arm breaking QTEs, which can be done in a new port. Everything else is just fine. Don't change what isn't broken.

@Grumblevolcano Knowing the Master Collection series isn't finished, it's most likely on the way in Volume 3

More FPS games with mouse mode would be nice. Can't be that hard to implement. Strategy games too. Would probably make FE play really breezy.

Used Mouse mode in Touhou Koumakyo New Classic and it made Reimu just fly anywhere I wanted...... which probably made dodging a lot harder too... stopped using it because I wanted the true end

the audio balancing sucks in handheld mode. You can barely hear anything even at max internal and external volume controls

You can tell there's suppose to be a catchy moody track in the background but you can barely hear it.

Switch's selling point is its portability, so they really need to fix that.

@charliecarrot Considering that CDPR use to own GoG and a steam download of The Witcher 3 doesn't even use steam's built-in DRM, I'd say this is intentional.

The game is already old, they are giving it away for free to original owners and you can already "pirate" a copy by asking a friend who bought the game to open a download link on PC. This just feels very in character for the company, which is probably why people feel less guilty in this case.

"NO GAME NO LIFE"

Ah, so we're men of culture here!

Must.
Headpat.
Shiro-chan!!!!

Split Screen and game share should have been there from the beginning. Gonna have to wait for Nintendo to bake this on a reprint before buying.

Also, should allow splitscreen online so the lobbies aren't always dead, just in case.

@mlt @Friendly I suppose its because GoodSmile made an offer to make a game he wanted.

GoodSmile has been getting more into games as of late, earliest with their stamp was Nekopara Sekai Connect. it's pretty obvious that they are trying to push their games as a main head in multimedia franchises, including statues, action figures and model kits.

They have always made Nekopara statues, (some tinted more pink) and the gacha game makes sure they have more characters to work with. Valkyrie Tune seems to also be pushing more for that cross promotion as a VN and model kits.

@CaptainQuo You had me at Neko Maid 👀

Seeing that the game has gotten unreasonably expensive on ebay, having an HD port would be great, especially on a physical card

Never played Layton game, but this would be kinda interesting

So this can be played with a simple 4 euro subscription for 3 months, right?

I still want to see Kamiya's story at the very least

@IronMan30 Never mention he who must not be named again!!!

@FairDosBilbo The whole game is abandoned on all platforms. Game was apparently a mess in terms of reception.

@asdfghjklz "Don't worry guys, I 'voluntarily' painting over someone else's old art because I found it icky and you shouldn't be allowed to see it either"

I may not be an elder scrolls fan, but even I have standards. Especially when there seemed to have been lore tied with its portrayal.

"Side content" is worldbuilding though?

I'm with @Jireland92 on this. If your sidequests are being skipped, maybe that's a sign that the quality of them are the problem and not that they exist. This is just showing a lack of confidence in the work.

Next you're gonna tell me that you can skip the whole story and get to the final boss.... in an RPG..... a genre known for storytelling.....

I mean, they already censored their goddess statues to look less like a gentle mother and more like a warrior. So this isn't surprising me that they screwed up something else.

And the Switch 2 version is a GKC in asia only

"Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3 V Generation"
That one was a big one. Apparently based on the PC version that also had issues that required the player to patch it with a fan mod. Poor performance, kept crashing, overworld became a glitchy void.

Glad it's finally fixed because I have been eyeing the trilogy pack, whenever I can get it

might have to import from japan to save money. already have other things I'm working towards now

I have no idea why they have her a bat board when she used a motorcycle in the first game

On a seperate note...
Now when's Neptunia? Need Nepu Nepu on an EX-gear in the game as the sega console rep, preferably not muted

So to any movie buff, what is the status of these things actually being any good given the casting? Or at the very least Crazy Taxi?

The cast of MELTY BLOOD: TYPE LUMINA enjoys an upgrade, plus a main story and new characters such as Len have been added!

Obligatory Uoh

@jsty3105 I don't think the casual audience that plays most Level 5 games would care. They just want good puzzles and a damn good story in a charming artstyle that touches them, at least when it comes to their (3)DS era fans (which I do think is the vast majority of their audience)

But because they are embracing diffusion models, even the casuals are turning against them because it became such a mainstream thing to see a problem in.

I just wish people would stop going "AI bad" and actually point to which AI being bad, because it's causing these people to try to twist words to get away with it

I have no need for a MiG Switch but I have been curious about the MiG Dumper, which lets you play Switch games (that you bought) on your PC.

Hope that also doesn't get barred from NL. Still kinda want to get it so I can have switch games stuck at 30FPS run at 60. Maybe even finally play GalMetal with a Rockband drumset so it won't feel like crap

"Ultimately, under the plan to shorten the current 5-year development period for major titles to 2 years, we are in the stage of trial and error, and struggling forward."

Maybe just start making smaller games like you use to. Did Professor Layton need so much detail? iirc second hand, the OG games weren't the most complicated. It was majority 2D assets presented in a visual novel style.

No love for Touhou this week? We finally got an ACTUAL mainline touhou game in english in Touhou Koumakyou: New Classic, a direct remake of the 24 year old Touhou Embodiment of Scarlet Devil by ZUN's own remake team, and for some reason there's not much fanfare here even though it's a staple series of otaku/anime circles.
( T - T )

Personally been trying to go through this aiming for the true end. I can easily see why these characters inspired so many fanworks, parodies and memes with how cute and funny they can be. I have been notified to not play this game on easy mode or else you won't get to see the full story soooo....

So yeah, I've been trying my hand at this. Translation seems to not have any noticeable flaws like what happened with Yunyun Denpa Syndrome. Apparently the OG game also foregone honorifics and the like. So definitely more relaxing than what I played before and I'm satisfied with what I'm playing.

Especially after beating Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties, Dood!
That game kicked my arse so badly and wore out my fingers with how button mashy being DPS is. Even had to bring out the arcade stick with turbo on just to I wouldn't have to sever a finger. Do not go into the game without reading the PSP manual (even if you play on Switch), because NIS forgot to include it in the Switch port, even as a PDF you could have read in the switch app settings... So much not explained...

Anyways, wish me luck on the true end clear in Touhou!

30% is their standard discount on retail games, no? Like, before, $60 games would go as low as 40 on the eShop.

This is nothing! Bring it down by 50 or 60!

Watch it use GenAI

Looks kinda uninspired, especially for Zelda

No 3DS comparison?
