@C-Chakra Thanks for that. Yeah it sounds epic, like they put a lot of effort into making a very good soundtrack.
Falcom do good soundtracks, better then a lot of the big triple A developers IMO.
Well, I've never played a Trails of Cold Steel game before but I am a big fan of Falcom's Ys series and am eagerly waiting and hoping for a Switch port of Ys 9. So Trails fans, how does this series compare to Ys. Is it as good as that series?
I can actually see Nintendo remaking Super Metroid. They had great success with Link's Awakening so it's likely that they would do more remakes of their older games.
Pokemon Sword and Shield ( excellent games IMO), Luigis Mansion 3 and Ys VIII, the latter of which I'm playing through for the second time. I'm also taking time out from gaming to amuse myself by reading all the crybaby comments about Pokemon Sw/ Sh 🤣
I never read the reader reviews on Metacritic anyway and this is one of the reasons why. There's just too many immature people out there who do this kind of thing. Anyway, after playing a fair chunk of the game I agree with Nintendolife's score of 8.
I never understood the negativity surrounding this latest version of Pokemon. So what if it doesnt have every pokemon, the number of pokemon in this series was getting way out of hand for a single game.
In my opinion the new games look much more interesting then Sun and Moon.
It's weird because I have several new games like the Witcher 3 and Luigis 3 to play and a backlog to finish off including Dragon Quest 11 and what do I go and do? Start a new game of Ys 8 just because I felt like playing it again.
I was playing the Witcher 3 and Luigis Mansion 3 but took a break and started playing Monsterboy and the Cursed Kingdom again and now I can't stop because it's such an awesome game.
I can see the Switch surpassing the Wii's lifetime sales. Momentum for the console is still strong and it hasn't even had a price drop yet. And then there is the Chinese market. If they can get the ball rolling in that market then that could really boost sales.
I originally played this on PS4 and while the graphics aren't quite as nice it's still an amazing looking game on the Switch and an excellent port. After a few hours of playing I was so absorbed in the world and the gameplay that I honestly didn't care about the visuals.
@BarefootBowser yeah well said. I wish gamers weren't so hung up on frame rates and resolutions and could just relax a bit more and enjoy gaming.
I thought Monsterboy was wonderful. Tough in some spots but overall a great tribute to the Wonderboy games. I really hope whatever they are working is a long dormant SEGA IP. I personally would love to see a new take on both Altered Beast and Golden Axe.

Re: Watch Out Pokémon, Temtem Wants To Be The Very Best Creature-Collection MMO
@the_beaver fair enough.
Re: Watch Out Pokémon, Temtem Wants To Be The Very Best Creature-Collection MMO
@the_beaver Pokemon is that now is it? Is that a fact or are you speaking on behalf of everyone?
Re: Rumour: A Western Release Of Dragon Quest Heroes I & II Is Looking Even More Likely
I hope it's true, I had given up hope of ever seeing a western release.
Re: Watch Out Pokémon, Temtem Wants To Be The Very Best Creature-Collection MMO
These aren't the Pokemon you're looking for. You can go about your business. Move along.

Re: The Legend Of Heroes: Trails Of Cold Steel III Brings More JRPG Action To The Switch Next Spring
@mauhlin12 Ah, a JRPG then, I can dig it. How's the soundtrack on this one. I have always been impressed with the music on the Ys games.
Re: Nintendo Reminds Switch Online Users To Check Out F-Zero And Other Classic SNES Titles
How about announcing a new F-Zero. That's what everyone wants.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Has Three Metroid Games In The Works, According To Leak Group
@Tempestryke i never said it needed one. I said I could see Nintendo making one and if they did then it would probably look amazing on Switch.
Re: Shantae The Half-Genie Hero Joins The Totaku Collection Next Year
Cool, I've got a few these. I will definitely be getting Shantae. Hope we see an amiibo some day too.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Has Three Metroid Games In The Works, According To Leak Group
@Syndrome and both were pretty good remakes too. A Super Metroid remake would look amazing on Switch.

Re: Level-5's Snack World Is Finally Making Its Way To The West
@Magician the video shows a picture of the box at the end so it looks like there will be a physical copy.
Really nice art on the box too.
Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Is Japan's Fastest-Selling Switch Game
Good to see. Another success for Switch.
Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Beats Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order To Claim Number One Spot (UK)

Re: PlayStation Is Taking Part In A Japanese Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Tournament
@Big-Pepsi your preaching to the choir mate, I've heard it all before.
Re: PlayStation Is Taking Part In A Japanese Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Tournament
@MaxlRoseGNR yeah I noticed that. Loved my dreamcast. Sony can go die in a hole, I want SEGA back 😄
Re: PlayStation Is Taking Part In A Japanese Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Tournament
@MaxlRoseGNR lol, you sound like me except I also blame them for the death of SEGA. Cheers to them burning in hell 😄👍
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Delivers Its Verdict On Pokémon Sword And Shield
It is Pokemon after all not Cyberpunk 2077.
Re: Feature: Best Nintendo Switch Kart Racing Games
Fine list. I would have put Sonic at no.2 and Crash at no.3 though. They're both decent but Mario Kart is still miles ahead.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 16th)
Pokemon Sword and Shield ( excellent games IMO), Luigis Mansion 3 and Ys VIII, the latter of which I'm playing through for the second time. I'm also taking time out from gaming to amuse myself by reading all the crybaby comments about Pokemon Sw/ Sh 🤣

Anyway, after playing a fair chunk of the game I agree with Nintendolife's score of 8.
Re: Poll: Pokémon Sword And Shield Are Out Today, Which Version Are You Getting?
I got both Sword and Shield but I'm waiting for the damn kids to get off the Switches so I can have a go. I could be wating awhile
Re: Yes, The Sonic Movie Redesign Was Led By Sonic Mania Animator Tyson Hesse
@KingKRoolMain lol, I'm always wrong.
Re: Yes, The Sonic Movie Redesign Was Led By Sonic Mania Animator Tyson Hesse
Not gonna lie, I think I'm starting to prefer Sonic with blue arms.
Re: Gallery: Sonic Movie Trailer Comparison Pics - Check Out Before And After Sonic's Redesign
He no longer looks like a freak of nature. Now he just looks like Sonic.
Re: Video: Oh Boy, Sonic's Movie Redesign Is Revealed In Brand New Trailer
Now THAT'S Sonic!
Re: Social Media Bands Together To Show Game Freak Some Love

Re: You Might Want To Put The Brakes On Nintendo's Black Friday Switch + Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle
@QueenKittenWrite I highly doubt that.
What @Zidentia said is correct.
Re: Professional Fortnite Player Gets Banned For Life After Uploading Videos Of Himself Cheating
@Jeronan yeah maybe you are right. That was just my initial reaction. Might be the best thing for him.
Re: Professional Fortnite Player Gets Banned For Life After Uploading Videos Of Himself Cheating
I have zero tolarence for Fortnite but this ban seems overly harsh. A year long ban would have been enough.
Re: Rumour: New Images Supposedly Show Sonic's Movie Redesign, But We're Not Convinced Just Yet

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #15 - Super Mario Bros.

Fox pokemon looks cool too.
Not long and we'll find out.
Re: Nintendo Switch Has Now Sold 41.67 Million Units Worldwide, First Switch Lite Totals Revealed
I can see the Switch surpassing the Wii's lifetime sales. Momentum for the console is still strong and it hasn't even had a price drop yet.
And then there is the Chinese market. If they can get the ball rolling in that market then that could really boost sales.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #13 - Goemon's Great Adventure
Japan or Europe. They're both pretty much the same. Europe I guess as I cant read Japanese.
Re: Random: God Of War Director Praises Witcher 3 On Switch, Says It's "Some Kind Of Dark Sorcery"
I originally played this on PS4 and while the graphics aren't quite as nice it's still an amazing looking game on the Switch and an excellent port.

@JayMac83 we've all been there man. Maybe not with Odyssey but with other games.
Re: The Studios Behind Monster Boy Are Teaming Up Once More For An "Even More Ambitious Project"

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #11 - Final Fight
I vote Japan because two dudes staring at each other is as boring as hell.
Re: Overwatch Director Would Pick Tracer To Represent The Game In Smash Bros. Ultimate
@ancientlii I would'nt be surprised if they made a loot box into an actual character at this point, lol.
Re: Poll: Four Dragon Quest Games Are Out Today On Switch, Which Are You Getting?
I picked up XI a few hours ago but I don't think I'll get the first three simply because I doubt I'll ever find the time to play them.
