I mean I am not surprise. The kinect did almost the same thing and more, and yet it failed. Why would this one be any different? Just because is "Nintendo"?

Is there a physical version? no?

@Solid_Python Yeah see, I didn't really saw any of that except in the sizzle reel during the Direct. That's how I knew about the game. I never even noticed it came out until it did but by then I was already playing other games

@Solid_Python To be honest I knew the game, but I never noticed when it release. I really thought it was coming later this year. I'm sure many people are thinking the same. Was there any advertising for this game at all?

I got a 256GB on release and is already full. Some of my games that I transfer over haven't fully downloaded because THERE'S NO SPACE! Is really a shame I could not used my prevoius 2 TB MicroSD card

That's cool and all but what about Turok: Evolution? Ight not have been the best in the series but it's still a pretty good tittle

@progx That's insane. So how do other people do it?

@TAndvig Nintendo already said they will brick your console, Switch 2 in this case, if you modify it. So I suggest to be careful with that, a STEAM deck on the other hand.....

Not much change which is good. Odd, that I never saw Diddy without teeth kinda weird

Right now PS5 has my attention. Helldivers 2 new update, Monster Hunter Wilds is never ending and Expedition 33 has a grip on my focus. Meanwhile, Xenoblade Chronicles X Remaster is way down below my line up of playing games this month. I'm sure I'll be playing that on Switch 2

@SplatRay001 Got the game las week. Save to say, if you enjoy traditional "Turn-Base" strategy with a twist, you will enjoy the game. I am having a blast with it and it has a dark tone as well if you like that kind of thing.

@John_Deacon I think for Nintendo is fine a million copies. I think for them Astral Chain is an IP that can still grow. SEGA still owns the Bayo series and who knows what they think. But I'm with you, is definetly worrying if investors/ companies don't see value in continuing a series just because it sold less than whatever millions they wanted the IP to sell. We almost lost Fire Emblem if it wasn't for Awakening after all

@John_Deacon I mean, Bayo 3 sold like 1 million in a few months so that's good I guess. Same goes for Astral Chain. The thing about AC thought, that belongs to Nintendo. They can pretty much have another studio make it, like Kamiya's new studio for example. Unless, P* have tabs on making games for that tittle alone, like how Gamefreak are the only ones to make "main Pokemon games"

Remember the Wii U times? "Nintendo is ddom, I can't wait to play Zelda on my PS4/ Xbox One." How the tables have turned. I can't wait to play Gears of War on my Nintendo!

@NinChocolate I ain't talking about the console. I'm talking about the Game-key Card. The card only has part of the game while rest needs to be download as long as you have internet. But if in 50 years like you said, I get a "used" Game-key card, will I be able to download the rest of the game if the servers shutdown?? Will the servers ever shutdown???

Hopefully is a 2D-3D remake like Dragon Quest remake was

@Jeyl I think is at the beginning of the sale. First the invites, then NSO subscribers, after that is for anyone.

My question is. Will the servers be up for eternity to download the rest of the game from a keycard. 50 years from now, and I buy a Switch 2 game cartridage that only has half the game- if they shut off the servers, how can I get the rest of the game?

@Cathalm @ozwally - I hope they keep the mangaka as the artist. Zetman is one of my favorite mangas and seeing how he made ilustration for Astral Chain was a great surprise to me a the time. The art just fits the game

@NielsNL I think they aren't as bad as a code-in-the-box, but my concern will be like 20-30 years from now, Game publishers decide to shut down their servers and the rest of the game code goes with it, will I lose access to those game if I buy the cartridge used or borrow?

What I like about this, is not "pandering" or "woke" but is a genuine fun game that happens to showcase a disability sports by taking full advantage of the mouse controls. This is how it should be, fun first and then put whatever representation you want, as long as it is fun people will buy it

So is not a story driven open world exploration game. Is a PvP focused game.....meaning multiplayer focus. You play "matches" and there could be events "during a match"....where's the exploration? where's the open world? is there even a story? This reminds me of Titan Fall and their attempt to multiplayer only game where the story was during a match. I don't know, I'll keep my eye on it but it won't be a day 1 buy for me

Man I'll be at work by the time it airs. Hopefully I can pre order one

I mean, look at Square Enix. They have been trying to embrace the west by westernize themselves and their games, and they are losing money. Final Fantasy is not even selling like it did before

That's great and all but they don't own Turok anymore do they?

@MTMike87 Never played that, is it good? I kept in my radar back in the day but never actually purchase it

@Ryu_Niiyama I did the same too. I got it specifically for MH Rise. I honestly could not tell the difference when it was on, but my TV said it was running at 2K so it was definitely working so I just kept it on. Now thought, I played it once without it and I can tell the difference from 2K to 1080p. MH Rise even looked a little terrible. I have yet to try Doom. Since the game runs at 720p it should run at 1080p with mcClassic

@batmanbud2 And there's barely any loading time, specially when installing a game

@EarthboundBenjy The only nostalgia I get is my MicroSD card getting corrupted somehow. Losing all my Mii Plaza progress, puzzles hats, flowers, floors on that ghost hunting game and the Miyamoto's Mii with the golden pans. It was one of the saddest days of my life ;_;

@mariomaster96 This was my take as well. I play the original a lot so I know the short cuts and tricks to beat the game 100%, but the 3DS made some changes to it that mess up all that by a lot. Just that makes the 3DS my least favorite version to play. However, I still tell new comers to play the 3DS version first, due to the improved graphics and portability

damn, in the morning? Ugh I was hoping it will in the afternoon after my work hours, now I have to find a way to get a time to pre-order the system before scalpers do

@pipes I'm questioning that myself. There's is no way Nintendo will abandon the hybrid unless something better comes along.

However, if I remember right Nintendo unveil the Gameboy Color as a brand new system instead of an updated version (like DS to DS Lite or DS XL), in an attempt to hold us off until the brand new handheld, which was a Gameboy Advance, since they still need time to work on it. What if this is what's happening again? What if, this is just to hold us off for another 7-10 years until the actual Nintendo Switch Successor is unveil. I know I'm just spewing bullsht right now, but it just makes me think about it

@FragRed Probably, but Square will wish to get those kinds of sales. So far only the Dragon Quest 2D HD remake has given good profits, at least for now

I'm hoping he decides to remaster The Last Story someday, and what does he mean "My farewell" is he retiring after the next project?

I can't say I like the new DK look, I mean yeah it's cool that they went the retro way but I don't find him appealing more than the current look.

And what's up with Mario's cheeks? Is he chewing tobacco or something?

@Fulgor_Astral Like what? I mean....how can you change the visual look of a tablet besides making it bigger? The Joy-Cons can Pro-Controller sure is possible, but the Switch itself?

@Antraxx777 Ah the grammar police is here. The only way you feel relevant. Pick up a typo and make fun of it 🤡

@Morph Well Sony pretty much abandoned Japan. They used to cater to them while also catering to the west with some tittles. In their mind, catering more to the west will be more profitable. So far that has not worked out specially with the last tittle Concord where they spend 200 million$. Abandoning Japan pretty much gave Nintendo the upper hand in console sales as well as game sales. Almost every Top 10 sales chart is full of Nintendo Switch games. I say let Sony/ Microsoft fail so they can rebuild again and make it better, just like how Nintendo failed with the Wii U and then followed it up with the Switch

"My philosophy is to create a game that offers many different elements and let the player experience those different things in whatever combination they like [...] I want all my games to engage people's imaginations and sense of creativity" This is amazing man. No wonder I love Nintendo games. They do care a lot about the players and their enjoyment...unlike some western developers......

@Yoshi3 Sakurai said earlier that "if" a new Smash game is develop, it will probably be a smaller cast that what Ultimate is. But who knows, maybe we'll get them all a long with more characters

@MeanBeanEgg That's on Japan bro. Int he UK it's out of the Top 40. Square Enix wants Western money more so if it's not doing so well in the UK is probably not doing great in the US. Regardless, I still think boycots are stupid. If people want to buy a game they should just do it, if not then skip it. But don't do it because of a boycott

@Tainaru No unfortunately, but I am sure the mod community will start decensoring it somehow.

@Joeynator3000 Now I hate censorship as much as you do, but as someone who played the original in Wii U, the censorship is passable. Just removed the boob slider and modest clothes design for a character with age 13. As far as I know, that was it. Alma, ( or Elma?) and other female characters as well as our own, still had sexy outfits. Not saying to ignore it of course, but at least it doesn't leave a bad taste

As far as I know, the western Wii U version only censored the "chest" sliders by removing it and the tone down clothing of one of the characters because she's 13, the rest of the game was left untouched. I think censorship is stupid, but I can live with only those changes.

If you all hate the censorship so much, just don't buy the game. I know I am not since I don't support dumb unnecessary censorship.

@Not_Soos Can you elaborate? I already finish the game but I didn't see anything OOT related besides the creation of the Triforce, by the way, I wonder why the Triforce is called "Prime Energy" in this game....
