As a kid I had a DS (pretty late in its lifespan, though), eventually all the games I wanted were on the 3DS so I had to upgrade, due to being less than 13 years old I didn't have much money coming in, so obviously I opted for a 2DS. I still have it and frequently play on it despite it being slightly worse for wear; it's missing the rubber thing on the circle pad, has a scratch on the screen and takes a while to switch on but it was the console that got me into gaming.
@samuelvictor Yeah, X is a bit of an oddball for the series for a few reasons; One being, it's the only one in the series to have an American English dub rather than British English.
I don't know who made the mistake and hate to be the one who points it out but that's the Royal Claymore not the Royal Broadsword. Once again, sorry for being such a pedant.
@Vyacheslav333 The Q in the names of Persona Q and Q2 is something to do with the fact it's a spinoff with Etrian Odyssey rather than the artstyle so that's why Tactica doesn't have a Q in the name. It does look like a spiritual successor to them though.
@Zach777 Nah, it wouldn't make any sense to rename XCX XC4, it would muddy the waters and be an all-round dumb decision. Also, Baten Kaitos is third party isn't it? The IP is owned by Bandai Namco, I believe.
@Vyacheslav333 How about Monday? My sister just bought "me" Famicom Detective Club and so obviously she's playing it and since she doesn't have a Switch she's using my OLED. So, how about Monday, in the fighting games thread?
@Vyacheslav333 Ah yeah, wikis are helpful. Alright, my friend code is in my user description, I've never done this before so I'm not really sure how to do it.
@Vyacheslav333 Wouldn't the story be a bit confusing if you just start with the last entry? I always thought was the case for stuff like Blazblue and Guilty Gear. Oh, by the way, would be it be annoying if I asked to exchange friend codes with you? I want to do online sometime whilst I use a free trial of NSO and you said before you weren't overly good at them so it'd probably be quite a balanced fight. Wait, is NSO actually supported in Russia at the moment or what?
@Vyacheslav333 Oh, duh. Facepalms Yeah, if I had thought about it harder I would have realised you meant Ragna. Yeah, I got that one for Christmas but I'm not playing it until I've played the ones for the PS3/XB360, I refuse to miss out on lore. Plus, maybe I'll manage to forget about all the spoilers for the series I've seen.
@Vyacheslav333 Oh, is it Under-Night? Yeah, I got it on Boxing day but I also bought a ton of other stuff at the same time and got Xenoblade Chronicles 3 the day before meaning I still haven't played it. Nice to see other people using the games collection function.
@NintendoLife I think you've got a mistake here: "The Limited Edition will cost ÂĄ16,800 JPY (or $130 USD) and is available from the Procyon Store, which also ships internationally. The Regular Edition is up for pre-order at CDJapan for ÂĄ16,800 JPY (just under $50 USD)." You're listing both the regular edition and the special edition as having the same price in yen but different in dollars, also whilst it's easy enough to find a currency converter, I feel that as an UK based site you should at least give the prices in pounds as well.
@NintendoLife "Square Enix has kicked off a pretty big publisher today on the Switch eShop in North America." Pretty sure you're missing the word sale. Also, as someone from the UK, Square-Enix are having a sale over here too.
@okeribok Catering to the Americans on this site whilst nothing's changed pricewise with euros/pounds. I mean when you think about it we should be the ones complaining that they got BOTW cheaper than us.
Shouldn't that be "Hopping into the game post update shows that little, if anything, has been done in terms of performance." rather than "Hopping into the game post update shows that little, if nothing, has been done in terms of performance."?

I was looking at the eshop the other day and this was the most popular discounted title so that's sad.

@EaglyPurahfan I've played neither of them. Also, why would I have been talking about FF on this article?

@EaglyPurahfan No clue why you're asking me.

Re: Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy Announced For Nintendo Switch
Woo-hoo, I knew holding off on DD and SoJ was a good idea.

@Zach777 XCX is set before the main trilogy, I'm pretty sure.

Re: Feature: Best Royals In Nintendo Games - Who's Your Favourite?
@Axecon Nah, I wouldn't say so, he's a god figure not a king figure.
Re: Feature: Best Royals In Nintendo Games - Who's Your Favourite?
@nhSnork Shame, because there would have been so many possible stupid summaries.
Re: Feature: Best Royals In Nintendo Games - Who's Your Favourite?
@nhSnork What was the other list that ignored Xenoblade?
Re: Feature: Best Royals In Nintendo Games - Who's Your Favourite?
Curse this royalist propaganda! (Half joking.)
That said how can you forget about everyone's favourite catgirl?

Re: Can You Guess The Game From These Poor Descriptions?
@Vyacheslav333 I'll get back to you as soon as possible but it is impossible for me to check at the moment, digital exclusive in her account, y'know?
Re: Can You Guess The Game From These Poor Descriptions?
@Vyacheslav333 I think it's fully voiced in Japanese, but to check I'll have to incur my little sister's wrath. Anyway, I'll go do that.

13 out of 15, I didn't know an ocarina was a type of flute and I forgot about SAX and instead thought of Dark Samus.
Re: Bandai Namco Wants Your Feedback On Tales Of Symphonia Remastered
@Savage_Joe Oh, this is beginning to sound like an extremely annoying game.
Re: Bandai Namco Wants Your Feedback On Tales Of Symphonia Remastered
@Anti-Matter Oh, so it's better but really hard to get? In that case it's understandable, then. It's really annoying how expensive old games can be.
Re: Bandai Namco Wants Your Feedback On Tales Of Symphonia Remastered
@Anti-Matter Isn't the Gamecube version supposed to be the best version? That's what I gather anyway.
