Seriously, where did the Shaggy memes even come from?

Chrom doesn't have his Mirage form as an alt?!

Sigh To quote a certain someone: "WWHHHYYYY???"

The wait is killing me.

Got it downloaded.

Sweet; I've been hoping this would come to the Switch eventually!

Princess Guide looks cool, and I'm always down for RPG Maker... even though I got FES on 3DS, finished the tutorial dungeon of my first project, and never picked it up again because I'm a lazy b*stard.

Unfortunate, but the "realistic weapons", "Live Another Life", and "hardcore mode" are the only mods out of the scores and scores out there that ever interested me.

I'm about 30 hours in at the start of the 5th chapter and I've been enjoying it overall. If this had SMT's staple mechanics, it could easily fit in with the rest of the Devil Summoner spin-off titles.

My only gripes are that the demon designs range from "Passable..." at best to "Why? ...Just why?" at worst, and organizing and managing your Astrals (trading skills between them) could have been streamlined a bit better.

I also see an untapped potential that maybe a different, more ambitious team or studio could have brought out, but all things considered, I recommend it to anyone who's curious.

@Lameborghini In the most basic sense, yes.

@gloom and @Gs69 As much as I'd love to see Nintendo stand up and take action against leakers and data-miners too for something like "possession and dissemination of confidential/privileged information", you know it wouldn't take long at all for people to try to turn this into a Free Speech/Freedom of the Press issue. And the unintended consequence(s) of a precedent set by any ruling in Nintendo's favor would probably be significant and ultimately not worth it in long run.

All I hoped for (realistically) was a solid release date for Dark Souls, so of course it's a bit of a let-down for me that there was nothing on that front but a few seconds of footage maintaining the "Summer 2018" placeholder, but I'm satisfied with the FE 16 and Smash Bros. Ultimate reveals.

Overall, I'd give the presentation a 7 out of 10.

Glad to have my mains (Palutena/Robin) back. Hopefully they've gotten a fresh round of buffs to help them climb up the tier list.

And I love how Robin is just so not into this in the promo banner!

I love that there are grunts on the field, battles look so much much more dynamic now; but good Lord, please let "Three Houses" just be a working title.

Why won't Eevee evolve? That's stupid! What's it even good for then?

Had this issue too. I also can't talk to Mrs. Cartman to finish side quest; is that another bug, can she only be talked to at certain times?

@SmaggTheSmug Lies, slander, and calumny!

Congratulation, Furukawa-san! Here's hoping for good things under his leadership.

Telos HYYYPPE!!!

South Park is #1 for me this month, but I haven't seen it on the eShop. I see Gal*Gun, DK:TF, and even the Crash N-Sane Trilogy in the "Coming Soon" section, but South Park isn't listed, and when I type it in the search bar it say "no results." What's up with that?

@Lone_Beagle Well, at least one of those is more likely to be true than one cooked up merely to answer a personal problem with several more obvious, simpler solutions.

Yeeeahhh... if you're going to a therapist/counselor/spiritual director and their advice to you, whatever the issue, is "Make your own religion.", that's probably a sign that it's time to find a new counselor...

That became really obvious to me when Ash only brought one Pokemon (Palpitoad) to his Gym battle with Elesa in the Black & White arc.

We're long overdue for an SMT rep in Smash. Flynn and Tsubasa (or Itsuki just to mess with people), make it happen Sakurai.

Seriously though, regardless of whether this is a port, Smash 5, or something in-between, just...fix Palutena, please. That's the only thing I ask.

Okay let me get this straight:
Kirby: Star Allies - March 16
South Park TFW - April 21
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 - May 11
SMT Strange Journey Redux - May 15
Dark Souls Remastered - May 25

Welp, my spring and summer are officially gone... and I'm okay with that.

Highlight of the Direct for me; looking forward to the network test. I wonder if this will be cross-play.

Is this the same type of software as RPGMaker FES?

@ArcanaXVI
It took me a minute to remember Lucifel's name and look, but I wondered about a possible El Shaddai connection the moment the light went on. That was a nifty little title; Michael's design is also vaguely reminiscent of Enoch's. A glimpse of gameplay would have been nice, but I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this.

Also, the MC is a nephilim, calling it now.

My #1 most anticipated title! New SMT info always makes any day a good day in my book.

@JasmineDragon @Retron
Likewise, I thought the connection was obvious from day one, and my own presumption is that each character's story will be a "Canterbury Tales"-esque allegory for one aspect of the NEP. The snippet of Primrose's story in the demo already seems to be a tale about the importance/virtue of right livelihood.

Hopefully the sequel is a tad more forgiving in certain areas than its predecessor; one time, I sent my entire A Shift (8 or 9 officers, most with scores well over 500, 3 had a score over 800) to a raid on the port, with SWAT and paddy wagon support, and all but one of them got killed. Another time, half of my B Shift just flat-out did not show up for work. I somehow got myself into a death spiral around the the final third of the game all because of a Catch-22 — City Hall was mad at me for not doing my job, but I couldn't do my job because City Hall was mad at me and made me keep laying off officers — and just stopped caring.

But I look forward to giving this a try, and might even re-download the first one to try and finish it.

Just give me the release date for SMT: Strange Journey Redux and I'll be happy.

Good for them. Can't wait to see what they come up with!

I still think Rex's outfit(s) could stand to be streamlined a bit more, but I can overlook it because how much I like his character.

If asymmetry and incompleteness were what they were going for with Pyra, then giving her one earring, one glove, and/or one stocking would have worked just fine. Making her outfit as revealing as it is was just unnecessary. I enjoy my eye-candy as much as the next guy, but the hot-pants and her bust being so pronounced are just distracting and ultimately ruin her design for me.

Also not fond of the brim on Morag's hat, probably could have stood to be a bit shorter and not look like a cow-catcher, but that's a minor quibble in comparison to Rex and Pyra's fashion misfires.

And Jin and Malos's roles really should have been reversed; nothing about Malos' design makes him stand out and visually communicate/justify him having the significance that he does.

Congratulations, Nintendo! Keep the momentum going in 2018 and beyond!

And the celebration graphic is cute.

Cool. Can't wait to see how developers utilize this and the results it brings.

Sweet. I was rather ambivalent about this title before, but the more I see of this game, the more intriguing it becomes. I'll probably pick this up when it releases.

Last Story 2 or riot!

Seriously though, who is this woman, and we should care because...?

What in the world?

@tobibra

Ikaruga's my SK waifu. I like Asuka, but I kinda see her as a little sister more than anything else. And I never spent a significant amount in the dressing room in Burst and Crimson, just however long it would take to change them into a new outfit that I'd use for a stage or two then put them back in their normal costumes afterward.

I could see this being an unlockable Extra Mode in a bigger main beat-'em-up game, it just doesn't seem like there's enough to warrant it being a full game by itself with a full game pricetag.

@tobibra

How long is the story mode? And how much replayability would you say there is? 'Cause based on the video, it seems like there isn't much to do and little reason to keep playing once the novelty's worn off. It also seems like the game gets old pretty quickly.

@BenAV

That's exactly what I was thinking. The Switch may be region-free, but when comes to things like this, if one doesn't know how to read the Mystic Script then the whole point is moot. So yeah, localization or bust.

“Our biggest frustration with the presentation, however, is one tiny interface quirk that never stops being annoying: ‘Confirm’ is mapped to the ‘B’ button and ‘Cancel’ to the ‘A’ button, the opposite of Nintendo norms.”

Preach, pastor!

NoA2 is definitely a good addition to the Switch's library, performance hiccups and all. My major issue with the game--aside from the 'B', 'A' thing--is just that it's so short.

@GC-161
ANYTHING is better than those metal chaps, or whatever they're supposed to be, that Rex has on. Finding this boy a normal outfit is going to be priority #1 and Elysium can burn for all I care until then.

The only thing I want to know is can we change characters' outfits? Because I do not like Rex's default costume at all.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
I owe you a steak dinner because that was glorious. XD

Skyrim, Xenoblade 2, and Strange Journey Redux for me. I may pick up Octopath Traveler at some point.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!

This is the #1 reason why I want a Switch and I can't wait to see more.

And, the pale-skinned characters, the snazzy suit on our likely new MC; could this possibly be Kaneko's glorious return to the helm of the art team?
