@Investor9872 In NA, it was announced for PC and Xbox 1. While Japan does have it for Switch, it's a cloud game. NA isn't so lucky with cloud based gaming yet...But we can dream.

Great multiplayer racing game. Now just gives us more DLC for it already. Like new tracks. ^^

@patbacknitro18 When you go to the quest board, you go to party quest > single system. These are online mission that will allow you play them by yourself or with couch co-op.

@patbacknitro18 They do. There is an option to play the online only mission on one console. You still have to be connect to the internet but you would be playing solo or with any friends on the same console.

@Ragdoll72 Nice to hear about the patch addressing some of the loading issues.
And yes, it's a fun game to play with friends. One of the few games that made cross-play from the start and easy to play with anyone. ^^

Has some performance issues, but nothing that stops the actual gameplay during the hunt. Fun F2P game with cross play to boot. Your not losing anything with giving it a try.

@Blizzia I agree on that. Smogon have too much of an elitist attitude. I'm glad the VGC rules don't follow them. Looks like Competitive Pokemon Battles are split into another meta once again.

Fun game, needs a review. ^^

@ButterSpill Judging by the Tokyo demo that was shown in the past couple of months, it's unlikely. The way they did the menu is an overlay style. Makes it great to play from one console but I don't see it working well with local co-op. MAYBE they could squeeze in two player from one console, but couch co-op gaming is a thing of the past. Only one doing it now is the Switch and even that is slowly dieing..Couch co-op that is. Switch is still going strong.

Can't be mad about this delay. With so many game being releases in 2020, makes sense to release the game later. No competition means better chance of selling.

Nice. Game is finally out for Switch. Can't wait to give it a try with a buddy of mine.

@koekiemonster Vita was also a flop. Not the best example to follow.

Sides, the Switch is doing fine without the "extra" features. It's not needed. Would it be great? Yes. But not needed.

@koekiemonster Wasn't the point of the Switch OS not to be bogged done by such features? Ya know, to avoid the same issues that ran into with the Wii U OS.

Can't satisfy everyone. This is for people that have money to spare anyways.

Nice to hear. I'm sure many players are tired of seeing dude everywhere. Nintendo does do a pretty good job with mixing the player base. In comparison to Microsoft or Sony, I do see more female gamers popping up in Nintendo Discord groups.

Huh, this review doesn't mention the online multiplayer. That is the big concern with this game. If it has it, I may get the game down the road.

I'd like to see them bring the rest of the Wii U library to Switch. I believe the only things left that are worth it would be Star Fox Zero and maybe the Wii Sports series? Would love to see Wii Bowling for Switch. It's a great game to play with family and friends. ^^

@Ludovsky Sorry, Rivals of Aether. I never tried out Brawlout due to the mixed reviews on that game.

@Ludovsky It felt clunky. The graphics were nice but the movement just isn't there. Glad I was able to refund the game.

Eh, this game looks nice but didn't care for it when it was on PC. I got Smash Ultimate for Switch for my fighting game itch.

@retro_player_22 Don't forget the people that are playing it on Switch for the first time. Or the ones that only have a Switch as their major gaming console.

Despite the negatives DQ3 has on Switch, the game is still fun to enjoy. Nice to play one of the original DQ3 games on a modern system. ^^

@entrixx Nintendo has always done the Achievements per game in game. I don't see them trying to "copy" xbox/ps4/steam to do a OS achievement system.

A classic RPG ruin by a few modern art choices. Still, seems like it be a decent game to play at least once.

@SyFyTy oh, I hardly ever win a debate. But they do offer some good entertainment. Especially here at work. Bored as hell here..

But it does prove the point that YOU choose not to pay for internet. What is stopping you from installing internet in your home?

@SyFyTy doesn't change the fact they are still the minority. Everyone has equal access to the internet. Whether they choose to pay for it or not is irrelevant. If your homeless or fixed income, maybe buying video games shouldn't be on your list of things to do.

@blackbox64 I couldn't agree with ya more. There are far worst things to worry about then some who is spending to much time gaming. Gaming disorder..sounds like a total joke.

Curious if this will be part of the 2.0 balance patch they mentioned a few months back.

@Daniel36 I'm pretty sure it was a toss up between online play and couch co-op. Given that 3 of the 4 "consoles" to play on are mobile, online play was the better option. Couch co-op, unfortunately, is slowly a dieing feature..

@607jf Keyboard works on Switch. I use it all the time whenever I need to type something in like the eShop or a game with in game chat like Fortnite or DCUO. Not sure if a mouse would work though.

@Daniel36 From my understanding of what the Tokyo video showed, the Android and iOS version are going to be the game itself. Just like the Switch and PS4 version. It won't act as a menu system like the GBA did to the GC version.

Guess you could play the old version but you'd be out on the new content and such.

@Daniel36 I saw the Tokyo gameplay demo. First off, who ever they had testing it out has NO IDEA how to play an RPG. The warrior was casting, the mage was melee hitting..such a mess.

Anyway, it looks like it's an overlay menu that takes up the screen. The menu is transparent enough that you can see what is behind and on the field still. Looks like the game will be design with online and local wireless play in mind. Couch co-op is looking to be less likely an option. Single player from one console, be it Switch, Android, iOS, or PS4.

@SyFyTy Local wireless play will still be around. But in this day in age, those without internet are in the minority.

@Snugglevixen I don't PC game so this learning that it's getting cheaper to make Gaming PCs is nice. Still doesn't change that buying games will eat away at your wallet.

@Fazermint Easy, with most games with online mutliplayer, they are only relevant for so long. Usually only for the first 1-2 months. Unless they are a popular multiplayer game (Mario kart, smash, Splatoon), the player base dwindle as times move. And when the next game is release, the previous game has lost its player base.

You want to keep up with the crowd, ya need money to do so. No point in buying a game with a dead lobby to it's online multiplayer.

@Fazermint Not easily. By the time ya get the money for the game, the next game is already out.

@Zeldafan79 @sixrings He has a point. Gaming has never been a cheap hobby. If you don't have the money to keep up with upgrades (PC mostly) or games coming out every other week or month, then it's best to choose something else to occupy your time.

Now Sony does. Though, it's a little to late. You've lost a lot of faith from many of your fans.

@Trajan While true, Nintendo is a rather big fish. Microsoft won't be able to devour them so easily.

@Rhaoulos Given in this day and age, Nintendo and Sony are competing with each other all the time, it surprising to see there were even talks of a partnership between the two. Especially given the conflicting policies.

@ozwally Ah gotcha. Ya like the more realistic fantasy then anime, cartoon, or fantasy fantasy. Other side of the spectrum of fantasy games.

@ozwally Isn't that the idea with Dragon Quest? To have really cool characters fighting silly looking monsters?

Huh..a time where Sony and Nintendo were actually partners.
Unlike today where it's Microsoft and Nintendo team up to kick Sony's butt.

@Darkyoshi98 Got a Splatoon 2 Switch Bundle, no drifting as well. I feel like people are just taking over exaggerating just to get a free Switch fix from support.

Heha, I love it when games are the better version on Switch. It's so satisfying. ^^

@TheFox If the lite doesn't sell well then the chance of seeing a "pro" switch goes down. The lite must sell well. More money means more chances of Switch variations.
Sides, the Lite has already been confirmes to compensate games with HD rumble. It just shakes the screen instead, as seen above.

@Realness wow...just wow.
I want a pro switch as well but I want the lite to do well. More money from sales means more money for development of a possible Switch Pro.

Anyway, congrats for Switch lite. May it prosper and shine over the stupid minority opinions.

Nice, but would like to see a Mario Kart 9 or some more DLC tracks for Mario Kart 8.

While the lack of rumble for the Lite version sucks, it's nice to see some games will be able to accommodate for it.

Poor optimization. The fact that game like Doom and Wolfenstein can run pretty well on the Switch make this all the more evident. There is no excuse for this game to be so badly optimized.

@Paddle1 I had the Wii U version and upgraded to get the Switch version of Mario Kart 8. I believe the game is worth it. It's all the included dlc, proper battle mode, and it re-worked a lot of stats for various parts and bikes. Plus, I'm sure the online for Wii U is dwindling when compared to the Switch. If anything, just get the MK8D used or on sale.

I'm confused as well, is this an OST they are making or a video game? Either way, it sounds cool. ^^
