@AlanaHagues It'll likely have English voice acting in the West just as Eiyuden Chronicle Rising has.

@AlanaHagues @Hemibear I've noticed tons of new eShop games get yoinked off the eShop within hours of release. Last month Celestian Tales released with all of its expansions in North America and then swiftly vanished without a trace. The few YouTubers who reviewed it gave it shining praise so oof for those of you who wanted it, but didn't get it myself included...

I honestly thought it was one of the best directs in years. Good surprises, Several new JRPG's, a few new first party announcements, several amazing farm sims, tons of great multiplayer N64 games coming to NSO, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass sneak peak, which tbh looks like the new wave is going to be MUCH closer visually to the base-game retro tracks! Theatrhythm sequel!!! Pog!!! Bayonetta 3!!!!! Crisis Core Remake, a Newly localized Fatal Frame game, and the new game from the Danganronpa team!!!! Even a low-key release of a new Hot Shots Golf on Switch, which I'm guessing was going to be a part of the direct, but had to be trimmed out due to the direct already being almost 42 minutes in length.

Edit: Oh and Atelier Ryza 3! How could I forget?! xD

Things I hated were the Cloud Versions of the Resident Evil games, Villages makes sense, but there's NO WAY Capcom couldn't get native versions of the Remakes to run on Switch, they are just being greedy and lazy...and Tales of Symphonia Remastered which is an absolute scam job. Just the original Tales of Symphonia game for $50 or $60 whereas the PS3 and Steam versions had a remaster of the sequel Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of The New World bundled in and the two game bundle cost $50...

Overall though it was an amazing Nintendo Direct!

So let me get this straight, Switch is getting only the first game whereas PS3 and Steam got both Symphonia games in a collection for $50 and this'll probably cost $60 on Switch...wow BAMCO that's a low-blow...

@JJtheTexan I wouldn't be surprised if there was a content update for chapter 2, but not a new chapter. It would give us a bit of new content to tide us over without delaying the future chapters by any sizable margin.

@LacesOfClouds8 Unless every single country ends up at war with every other country simultaneously there will be a market for games. Also doubtful if things will get THAT bad and if they do 99.9999999% of us would be dead at that point anyways.

@Penlab Thanks for the correction, I always mix those two devs up lol. xD

@Rika_Yoshitake Uh...you realize this is pre-alpha gameplay right? The game won't be ready till 2025 at earliest so this game will almost certainly be too much for the Switch to handle, and even if it could, it's pretty safe to say that the Switch's successor will launch before the end of 2025. I'm in the likely 2024 release club lol. @Serpenterror The Wild Arms dev team GameARTS went out of business while developing Wild Arms 6 on PS3.

@xiao7 Nope, haven't experienced any crashes after about 65 hours of playing.

@Snatcher Regally? Typo lol?

@KateGray What even is this article? This legit sounds like brainwashing propaganda paid for by the mobile gaming industry which I doubt is your intention...

I highly recommend not doing things that actively lose active members here at Nintendo Life because this article is likely going to cause more than a few members to shy away from this site.

@Olliemar28 How many tracks are added to the base game because there are a ton of DLC exclusive cars?

@Liam_Doolan What happened to the Ash Cap Pikachu distribution? 🧐

@Fizza Oh wow! Had no idea there were Smiths stores over in Europe. We actually have one of the last Smiths stores open in the US in my town.

Rest in peace you shall be missed my friend. 😭

@Fizza I'm honestly shocked that they got this running on Switch and that it's targeting 720p and 30 FPS on the console at release. If they manage this I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they might actually be able to port a somewhat lower graphically intensive Switch port of VII Remake.

@aznable To be fair stretching the screen makes SD retro 2-D games and 16-bit or earlier games look like doodoo, so I understand why they do it, however I do agree that full-screen should at least be an option for those who'd prefer full-screen over unstretched and sharp graphics. 😉

I know I'd prefer full-screen mode if my console weren't hooked to a large 50"+ TV. Before that I had a 32" and before that a 19" widescreen TV so anything less than full-screen on a smaller TV like that was far less than ideal for sure.

@Liam_Doolan Weren't these available to play at the arcades in the West back in the 90's and early 2000's? I think I remember playing these back in the day? 🤔

Alex was hilarious in this vid! Excellent video! I am very much hyped that Mushroom Gorge is returning, also looking forward to the city tracks, Sky High Sundae, and Snow Land. Waluigi's Pinball looks good too. Mario Circuit 3 and Kalimari Desert are my two least favorite wave 2 courses, but the music in Mario Circuit 3 orchestrated is pure ear candy! 🍫🍬🍭

@Anti-Matter Baka just means idiot or dumb and rarely can mean crazy as well in Japanese. That's not a racial slur. Nonetheless it is an insult under quite a few circumstances.

@AlanaHagues Why even cover this? We all know this isn't coming West. Sigh, Level 5 was a great developer and still is, but their suits aren't the brightest bulbs in the industry, essentially cutting out 90%+ of their fanbase by no longer localizing their games outside of Japan...

@Snatcher I mean at least we got a solid second party game with Kirby's Avalanche. Even if it's Puyo Puyo, it still looks nicer than Mean Bean Machine, visually at least. 😉

@dustinprewitt Wow condescending much? 😠

@dustinprewitt A ripoff is called a ripoff because it copies work of another IP. That isn't applicable if both games are made by the same company as they aren't ripping their own selves off lol. 😹

It's not what you're saying is wrong persey, but I just wanted to clarify what the definition of ripoff is when talking about IP.

@dustinprewitt You do realize both this and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine ARE Puyo Puyo? The game was modified on SNES and Genesis because the devs didn't think the original aesthetics would be accepted by the North American and European markets. Same dev so NOT a ripoff lol. 😂

@Liam_Doolan @GrailUK @Grumblevolcano So...uh??? Daiva is MIA! It literally wasn't added in the update lol. 😂

Edit: Nope definitely not added here in North America. 😑

2nd Edit: Okay I had to delete and reinstall the NES app to get the new game to show up. 😚

@Korgon Square makes Sephiroth look like a good guy and Kefka look totally sane in comparison to themselves. 😡😠😈👿👹👺💀

@Liam_Doolan "Appears To Have Be Hacked"? I think that was supposed to be Appears to have been hacked? 🤔

Also mega oofy. Some people are money grubbing so and so's a lot of the times. 😱

@NinChocolate The Miiverse artists were often amazing. Also I actually still keep in touch with quite a few people I met on Miiverse and even have three Monster Hunter buddies I met on there. 😎

@Rayquaza2510 I mean to be fair Hollow Realization was still way better looking on Switch than it was on Vita plus the Switch version actually runs no worse than the PS4 version as far as the frame-rate is concerned. And poor old Fatal Bullet couldn't even run on Vita and was scrapped on the console while it has a minor visual downgrade on Switch, but still runs decent with only an occasional slight dip in FPS. I'm sure Alicization Lycoris will look good enough on Switch, but am a bit concerned it might run a bit more like the Vita ports of the older SAO games, because it has a lot more resources that require computing power than the previous games on Switch.

Also why did you at yourself? 😂

@SteamEngenius It's likely because I'm sight-impaired so my rage likely stems from knowing I don't have a snowball's chance in magma to beat the game lol. 😂

@Yosher Celeste is great, but I just couldn't beat it. The difficulty made the game feel like some sort of punishment for a misdeed lol. I am NOT casual by any means and have beaten super hard NES games such as Contra, but even Contra didn't make me die inside from seething rage like Celeste did. 😂

@Olliemar28 I mean Geralt is certainly old by normal reckoning and has grey hair, but that's not really due to age and physically he's about late-40's so not exactly elderly by Witcher standards.

@BloodNinja SAO: AL is far from garbage. I actually like it far more than the anime and I'm not a die-hard fan of the anime, just a casual viewer so this isn't coming from a blind fanboy. 😉

@Kyranosaurus I got the Korone experience when I subscribed lol. She kept asking me why I would subscribe to her channel lol. 😹

@Anti-Matter Oh? Isn't that an extremely kick@** type of boxing that originated in Thailand? 🤔

@JakedaArbok Did someone actually say that in the comments? 🙀

@inenai It's actually a really good game. It's no Fishing Resort, but I'd say it's a good 8/10.

@thecricket I stupidly sold my copy of Fishing Resort before its price skyrocketed. I have sellers regret not only for lost money, but also because I miss that brilliant game.

@SwitchVogel Yeah, no. The original games were better even if they are dated by today's standards which could be rectified by relatively simple changes as well as QoL improvements.

@Kyloctopus Nintendo is probably in bed with Apple to "force" people to upgrade. 😜

@1UP_MARIO Agreed! They are short, but ingeniously designed to have near-endless replayability. 😉

@westman98 The saddest part of all is, it's likely to be true for at least one of the two series if not both. 😂

Any chance of this sale actually coming to North America? Getting sick of missing out on first party deals that Europe gets 90% of the time, and when we do get first party deals it's usually the same 5-6 games everytime whereas Europe has seen most if not all of the first party Nintendo games go on-sale at some point. 😑

@1UP_MARIO I have 1, 2, & 3 on Wii U. All great games! 😉

Honestly what else is new? If it isn't Mario or Zelda, Nintendo will usually abandon a series within three games. 🤷

@Highlar @GameAndLuke It took me 15 minutes to find the demo and I've had to help several friends find it as well. This is the absolute dumbest setup for a demo for an expansion to a game that I've ever seen lol. 😹

@Silly_G It actually is REALLY good competitively, but only in Double Battles.

@samuelvictor I wasn't aware that Welsh was a separate language, always assumed it was an English accent. 🤔

@blindsquarel It looks like Nintendo of America is back to not giving us Americans game trials again. I remember a few years ago they did this and for a year we didn't get any trials while all other regions got a new trial each month...
