I'm thrilled the day has come. I've been waiting. That being said, I asked for the game as a Christmas gift. My wait continues...

It's the holiday season and I am told I am difficult to shop for. As badly as I want to launch this day one, I requested this as a Christmas gift. I hope my patience is rewarded!

So, a satirical Roblox game that is using humor is his source? Oh boy...

I love the art and many other details. Glad to see the game is good.

Do we know if there's a switch 2 patch?

Indies have been the best games for a while now. I had this game on my radar, this might make me want to buy it day one.

A few observations I've made:

1) Sometimes I forget I am playing a game on my Switch 2 when I play on a TV. It's pretty cool. The games look and perform great.
2) When I can't sneak off to the game room, the portability adds a dimension. So I can game while not hiding away.

These above points are huge especially when you consider how well these games perform vs the original switch. Which, while a great device, had a lot more limitations in terms of how a game played.

Xbox has just completely surrendered to the almighty dollar. It's the only thing that matters. They don't care about quality, they don't care about their products, they just want money. That's why that profit margin news was such a big deal. They can't figure out an actual workable strategy so they are just punting on it by trying to go multiplatform. When they have no new ideas, as evidenced by a remake of a game that already had a couple and didn't need another, it just proves the point.

Xbox is done and it was killed by greedy executives stifling creativity.

@Ejadaddy fair enough. I just get the impression most people have a switch for Nintendo games and indies. To each their own for sure, but I guess portability plays a big role also. Those games stopped being for me when Odyssey launched, so I am out of touch in that regard also.

I feel like most people on switch don’t care about Shadows. I also feel like anyone who cares about AC already has it on another platform. Heck, I have the ability to get Shadows and I still won’t.

I got this game at launch back in the day and man I loved it. I played through it like 50 times. Great read here.

This article is why I love this site. I would have never heard about this title otherwise.

Just want to say you guys do a great job of writing about and reviewing a wide swath of games and I appreciate that. Keep up the great work!

2025 has been an insane year for great games. September has been on a whole different level of insanely good games launching. I don't know how to find time to play them all.

I am so pumped for this!

Probably going to buy the game because I enjoyed the demo. Zero chance I spend money on the DLC.

UE5 leaves me feeling pessimistic about how the game will perform on all platforms.

Spent too much time thinking whether or not you could and didn’t think about whether or not you should.

@burninmylight the lie that republicans are better for the economy has puzzled me for almost 2 decades.

This is 100% related to tariffs. Anyone who doesn’t think so is in denial. Frustrating for those of us who knew how tariffs work in middle school.

I thought this looked so cool. I am excited to hear more and I hope it is good when it launches!

I would like one. Haven’t gone for one yet, but I enjoy the original one. It is annoying that it can’t turn on the console, though.

If there is a direct, I am hoping we learn of some more games getting enhanced for Switch 2.

I for one would like to see mega man legends re-released.

I have the game on PS5. If it can work on Switch it absolutely should be ported. It’s an amazing game!

I’ve done a lot of handheld play and it’s been fine for me, but I’ve always been low maintenance on visuals. Frame rates seem fine and that’s something that bugs me more.

John does the best videos at DF. I love the channel, but he really appreciates a good game and good music.

Only game I've played on my Switch 2 is Echoes of Wisdom, which is in the first video that's embedded. I haven't noticed any issues and what is shown in the tweet seems pretty wild. My game has been buttery smooth and I haven't noticed any blurring.

So, this guy posts that he might not be able to continue because of bad reviews, then he comes out and blames the media for his awful communication? This sounds like an annoyingly familiar formula.

I have to admit, I am pretty interested in No Rest for the Wicked, but this guy is making me not want to play the game. I don't want to give my money to developers who are manipulative jerks who don't take any responsibility for their own actions.

@Dazman your whole comment reads like you don’t read anything. Rather you develop preconceived notions and then post comments like this.

There is an issue in games journalism and the only thing it is is suits buying up properties and then trying to come up with quarterly earnings increases infinitely and learning that such a thing is impossible.

Investors are a plague.

A lot of people compared Sea of Stars to Chrono Trigger. I told everyone it was more like Mario RPG than anything for the same reasons.

Well I'm sold. I remember watching this in the mornings before school.

Awful take, IMO.

I love everything about this.

Reduction of internally developed projects is terrible news. Some of their internally developed games are the most fun I've had.

This is the same as the "60fps isn't cinematic" argument. It just sounds silly.

I love the Steamworld franchise.

This seems like a silly thing to even have on your radar. No one cares.

This looks awesome to me!

This was the best part of the whole presentation.

I will give my boilerplate: Final Fantasy Tactics please!

Even if that isn't there, I am excited to see what they announce.

If Jason says it then I believe it. He doesn't just throw information around. He actually has sources.

I have been patiently waiting for a long time. Tactics Ogre Reborn was amazing and I spent 210 hours in it. Final Fantasy Tactics was my first ever Tactical RPG way back on PS1 and I would buy a remaster/remake in an instant. I hope they do the same art style as TO:R because I really liked the aesthetic of it. Took me back to playing on PS1.

Edit: Maybe an announcement during Nintendo Direct? Just a thought, but maybe?

I don’t get how people still act this way. Good on this developer for not being afraid.

Well said. The funny thing is I bought more Square Enix games in the last 2 years than I have in the last 20. All those HD-2D games felt like they were made for me. The FF7 remake games, the new FF16, and my most favorite: Tactics Ogre Reborn. I bought all of these games and every HD-2D release. Naturally when they got the most of my cash, they decide they aren’t making enough. I don’t know what people want, but old style turn based RPGs are what square used to do best. I missed that and was thrilled to have it back. Hope we don’t lose it.

Also I have no idea what Xbox is doing, but it isn’t good.

Really excited for this one. It reminds me of Ogre Battle 64 in a lot of ways.

Incidentally, I'd like for them to bring an updated Ogre Battle 64 to current systems.

And where is Final Fantasy Tactics? I know it was just a rumor, but man I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

I’m just getting more and more comfortable not spending money on Ubisoft games.

I’ve gotten every HD2D game so far. Octopath 1 just blew me away with the visuals and I’ve never played DQ3, so count me in.

Really excited for this. I loved the original game and it feels like this was done with me in mind. I can't wait to dive in.

Corpos gonna corpo.

It's bums me out knowing the Konami I grew up with and what they are now. I will grab these when they hit a sale, but not before. I want these, but I am in no rush.

Last time I checked they hadn't yet implemented this policy. Why not just can it altogether instead of making some empty promise?

Oh, right. Greedy and selfish CEOs.
