With this news and yesterday's news and gameplay of the Harry Potter game (Rowling<3), someone need to poke me! 2021 is going to be fantastic!

@avictorao If there is one thing that need improvement first, it certainly isn't the plot or dialogue.

I see RumorLife is at it again. How about you spend more time writing actual articles instead of just rumors, I get you're desperate for clicks but come on.... ^^

@acNewUpdates Because the best way sometimes to make a point or to argue for the quality of something, a comparison is necessary for reference. Nothing wrong with that.

@thesilverbrick Disagree, it's the same type of people. They want to shut of their brains and not think of the game mechanics at play. They are excactly the same.

@TheFullAndy Microtransactions are and have almost always been used to ease the playing time and difficulty, so you're wrong. This is on casual gaming and the behaviour that have enabled this. If you want to be triggered and pretend like it's untrue. Sure, go ahead. But you're support what has been so far the downfall of games with great quality.

@TheFullAndy What the hell are you even on about. I am saying there is a strong correlation between easy difficulty and casual games. Playing games on easy IS casual and casual gaming is a behaviour that has led us to microtransactions.

There are several thousands of evidence pointing to this, some of the very first games to implement this business decision are casual games and mobile games. to appeal to people who DOESN'T LIKE A CHALLENGE, i.e. people who like things to be EASY or in other terms, casual gamers. So yes, having the behaviour of playing games casually is having the behaviour that have led to this.

Christ.....

@TheFullAndy No, this is the same thing. Playing something on easy is very much the same as casual gaming. You might not like that because you want to distance yourself a bit from the bottom. But it is true, easy difficulty doesn't give out any challenge so it is the same.

@ghostwolves Because difficulty very often determines how well of an understanding you get of the game. E.g. You can't really give a good description of enemies in a video game if they played it with casual settings. A game session of a strategy game will have vastly different ai behaviour from the easiest to the medium setting.

@TheFullAndy Because casual games are what mainstreamed that function and business practice. Look at Facebook games like Farmville for example. Or mobile games.

@Aiodensghost Thank you! I am so tired of the "video games are art" argument and then the same people get so outraged whenever video games does something that provokes a feeling/emotion they don't approve of. So hypocritical.

Just watch Let's Plays and let others play for you. Never understood the appeal of casual gaming, no challenge, no intensity. Once in a while? Sure, but to dedicate only to that. Oh god...no...Might as well just watch youtube videos then. Being a hardcore gamer is one thing but to only play casual games, you're missing out on a important factor of video games. Video Games aren't really that much if they can't challenge the player. It's an artform, it is supposed to push you, think differently, see things differently. Don't get that from casual gaming, it's very shallow, sorry to be so frank and type it that way but it's true. Should people be ashamed of it? Not really. Except for one aspect I mentioned further down.

I will add one more dilemma with casual gaming, which goes hand in hand with mobile gaming. If it weren't for those two, we wouldn't be having micro-transactions and the kind of predatory gambling concepts that we see today. In that sense, I think casual gamers should be maybe a bit ashamed as they have enabled companies to do so. Which have ruined the quality of the art form.

@Shambo I think I agree with everything you just said. I don't really think people who react to this have a "dirty mind". I just find it immature and kind of conservative, so what if they show what migiht look like a vagina, or if your mind thinks that is what you're seeing. It is art. If people want to debate and believe that video games are art, well then they have to accept all the things that come with the definition of art.

Genitalia is a natural part of art and art history, depicting the human body or using parts of the human body in art is as natural as it gets. And if this was on purpose then they aren't doing anything wrong, also, isn't this a 18+ or 16+ rated game? So what the hell.

As a european, I think this is more an american thing and something that is slowly influencing some europeans.

People are so damn conservative and uptight nowadays. So what that it looks like a vagina, never hate on the vagina!

Lol, fools actually bought that game? Wow...thank god for yuzu.

No thanks, seems the devs were confused about what genre they wanted to create. You can't create a game with some RPG elements but without the fundemental ones. If you can battle randomly in this but not using any system to justify it, e.g. EXP system. Also, sick and tired of how games implement these currencies in their games but the currencies are rendered meaningless because of usage and gaining high amounts too early.

Don't get me wrong, it's okay if they didn't want it to be a RPG and it's not what they aimed for. However, when that is the case, you can't implement functions and systems that support that genre and then leaving out the ones that is a complete necessity to justify them, you will just be left with functions and systems that don't really make sense and that drags the entertainment quality/ gameplay value down drastically.

@Damo

Why not just lock the comment section and avoid all the time spent monitoring them? Just admit it, you do it because you need your clicks and activate. That is fine, but at least be honest about it.

Never liked her but I must laugh at how big this comment section is. Lol, not even the cast of Avengers liked her, she obviously have a stick up her a**. Especially after her nonsensical "old white male" speech about reviewers.That being said, the passion people have for her, either positive or negative, is funny.

Kickstarter should not be for big companies that can completely finance projects on their own. It's a bit dispacable. Kickstarter should only be accessible for small companies/individuals who don't have funding and can't fund projects themselves. It's supposed to "Kick-Start" something. Not to "Give more profit".

@joezilla83 No we haven't. The only leaked footage or showing was the leaked footage a few days ago or whenever it was. And that was from this trailer most likely. No confirmation. So no, that is not a "fact".

HOLD ON HERE! You telling me this trailer and those leaked photos were for the Switch version? And people complained? This looks actually too ***** good to be on the Switch, in terms of Switch standard. And the performance from what little we can see, looks extremely good. I will easily buy this for Switch. Almost embarrassing how much better this looks and "Might" run on Switch compared to the dreadful port of Outer Worlds. Also, this means that we haven't seen the PC version, yet people are mad. Omfg...

Told ya'll! Billy Mitchel is a legend!

@mariomaster96 Would agree with you if it wasn't for the fact that these are games targeted for kids.

@ACNHislit It was just sarcasm, since the guy apparently believes that listening to others is a bad thing.

@Darkyoshi98 ....You are commenting "That" on a journalistic news site....Do you see the irony here?....eyeroll

@ACNHislit Oh no, don't agree with me. Apparently listening to others is a nono.

Cancelled my order after hearing that it drops to 15 FPS, that is just unaccaptable. After Witchere 3, the standard should be much higher.

@Dang69 I am trying my best not to make accusations, but I am extremely surprised by this inconsistency. But people seriously should check out ACG's review on this port.

I would highly recommend people to check out AngryCentaurGamer's (ACG) YouTube review of this game (Switch port). He gives a way more in-depth look into the game. Don't know if Nintendo Life have a deal with Obsidian or something but their rating is very inconsistent with others.

@StevenH Lol, if that is what you base your voting on, then you have no one to vote for. Both Biden and Trump represent that, including the rest of the candidates.

Andrew Yang was the only one close to something like that or maybe even Sanders, though now...him supporting Biden, I have my doubts.

@Entrr_username No ones lives are at risk dude, and what does that have to do with trashing some peoples livelihood? Are they responsible for this "risk"? Oh, that old couple down the street with their mom and pops shop, yeah. A huge risk.....

It's awful what these looters do.

Also, why the hell is Nintendo Life posting this? Clearly just for clicks. Same thing I critized about regarding several articles about Corona. Nintendo Life have no morals or boundaries.

As someone who orders from there frequently, this is very common and really doesn't mean anything. Gamezone and CDON does the same.

How is this even going through? Modding a console is not and have never been illegal, download roms and playing roms is.

Nintendo should focus more on games then these lawsuits and maybe we would see a good line up for this year.

Not shocking that Nintendo is taking the easy way out with this one.

OHMYGOD! It's like a whole new game!!! This is so insane! Forget about that Tech Demo from Epic. This is the new hot thing, insanely good graphics!

@GameOtaku I 100% agree, they clearly have just been using COVID-19 as an excuse, which is kind of trashy considering its impact on the world. Would also love for them to stay out of China and the chinese market.

#F*ckChina

As someone who works from home and knows people who do the same, this is nonsense. Production shouldn't be slowed down as drastically as this.

#F*ckChina

Oh, can't wait until all the female cosplayers cosplay as these pictures looking probably more revealing than the actual character. Hypocrites....>.<

Damn, Nintendo is really struggling. Sony is releasing at least two MAJOR exclusives this year despite the pandemic. And this is all Nintendo is able to cook up? What a shame.

@Ryu_Niiyama Please keep the identity politics to yourself. This isn't a political forum. Your starting an argument out of nothing by assuming men have an issue with strong female roles. Take a chill pill and go on reddit with that nonsense.

No thanks, Zelda is not the main protagonist of the series. Link is, keep it that way, don't need the identity politics in Zelda.

This isn't very good, the artist haven't even captured their personalities.

Tony Hawk's Skate Royal, it's all about keeping the highest point score or you're out, while skating against 99 other skaters.

Really? After the game awards that was last time, no thank you. Just gonna be disappointment after disappointment.

@NotoriousWhiz First party? maybe true, but not third party games. And regardless, my point still stands, they clearly had nothing to show us anyway so they are just taking advantage of the situation. Several companies in this industry have proven us that there is no excuse not to continue releasing either games or video presentations during this pandemic.

Disappointed by Nintendo, no reason for them not to set something up. Just gather videoes/trailers from the different des, edit and set it up as a direct. And I don't buy that these few months of a pandemic halted their production to the point where they can't show us anything, if that is the case then those games certainly wouldn't have been released this year or the next anyway, with or without a pandemic. Clearly they are taking advantage of the situation and making excuses.

This is nonsense, no reason for them not to have a Direct. Three House was out of the question, of course. But no excuse to not have a direct. Feel like they are just taking advantage of this Pandemic at this point, which would be disgraceful but a lot of companies have shown to do so, and Nintendo is no different.

You know the world have progressed and is ten times better than the how things were before, when this is something that upsets people. Geeez....
