@Serpenterror Square Enix didn't support Wii U VC yet we still got SMRPG on that. SMRPG is first party btw. In the same way that DKC is first party despite Rare being owned by MS.
@ThomasBW84 Will these new legendary Nexomon and post-game content be added via update if you already have Nexomon and or Nexomon Extinction digitally?
@Pillowpants I don't think this is punishable by imprisonment, but the dev will likely be sued for millions.
Edit: Also I hope to heck it isn't. That would set dangerous precedent that could wind up putting tens of millions of Americans in prison for crimes that have only been sueable offenses rather than jailable offenses.
Don't forget guys that the NES version of Dig Dug II has 76 levels as opposed to the 32 levels in the arcade game. It also has a more difficult NG+ as well! ๐
@Olliemar28 The sale's been up for two days already mate! Still crushed that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe went on-sale for 32% off less than 72 hours after I purchased the game. ๐
@Joeynator3000 Why? Arceus is WAY better than any of the other recent Pokemon games. Yes it's too different imo. I had the same criticism for Breath of The Wild, that doesn't mean Arceus or BoTW were bad by any means, it was just a bit upsetting that Nintendo reinvented them into something different.
@Reiflo Well it looks like the region might be based off of Greece, Italy, or Spain which would explain the outfits. Remember the outfits and characters are based on the region's irl equivalent.
@Damo You do realize that there's no comparison in the crimes right? Nintendo isn't going to jail someone for 5 years and sue them for $4.5 million if they illegally download their games. At worst you might get hit with a $50,000 fine and a month in jail. That said most likely you'd just get a lesser fine and no jail-time. I don't condone illegal activity, but this article reeks of hyperbole and clickbait. Most people just want the honest truth, not scare tactics or hyperbole in the news articles that they read. ๐ก๐ ๐๐ฟ๐น๐บ๐
@NEStalgia Bet you didn't know Pheonicians have a somewhat unique dialect and accent, though I digress it too is becoming more difficult to discern from the West Coast dialect and accent.
@protocol_penguin True, but I doubt they'll drop the hybrid aspect, and I seriously hope they won't go an all-handheld route if they do as I have bad eyesight and have to limit my time in handheld mode...๐
@Splodge At least the Wii U eShop runs like 10x faster than the Switch eShop. Nintendo needs to streamline the Switch eShop because it is an absolutely awful experience tbh.
@Joeynator3000 You realize if they did that you'd need internet to even access any of your games. What if you exceeded your data cap or your ISP has an outage? Guess you won't be playing your games for hours to weeks then depending on the circumstances...
@Rayquaza2510 Can hardware based bans be lifted if you provide proof that you purchased the console second hand after the ban was doled out? Genuinely curious. ๐ค
@Dezzy70 I honestly can't see Nintendo making no exclusive Zelda games for two generations in a row. With the Wii U it made sense since the hardware failed horribly, at least in a commercial sense, but Switch is what? The second best-selling Nintendo console ever and is extremely close to becoming their most successful console ever released, so not releasing at least one exclusive Zelda game makes absolutely no sense. And no, the Hyrule Warriors sequel doesn't count as it's a Musou game NOT an actual Zelda series game.
@Rayquaza2510 Technically cartridge size would be irrelevant if the console was digital only, that said I hope physical media will continue being an option as long as possible.
@BOctober25 This isn't the place to spew hatred, please let's just stick to gaming, football, and Madden discussion in these comments. That said Madden was the face and voice of American football more so than any other person in the sport's history. May he rest in peace! ๐
@nukatha Nintendo needs to take notes because if only 30% upgrade at the $30 mark-up then a $20 or $15 mark-up instead might be more profitable for Nintendo. Actually I almost guarantee it'd be more profitable at a lower price.
@Liam_Doolan Will standard subscribers be able to pay a cheaper upgrade fee to change packages? If not that's a REALLY dumb move on Nintendo's part because it'll cause existing members to wait till their subscription ends before upgrading.
@Themagusx1 I'd chastise you, but there'd be no point as kids these days don't understand the importance of ownership of property. They also don't understand that just because you beat a game once doesn't mean that you should get rid of the game. It's always nice to go back to a game you enjoyed every once in a while without losing access to it...
@Kirgo Lol what? I have never seen a current gen console only get a game every month or two including third party EVER. Not even the Wii U had that little support. If you're going to make a counter argument, make sure it's not even more outlandish than what you're contesting. ๐

Re: Review: Monark - A Solid SRPG From Veteran Shin Megami Tensei And Persona Devs
@SwitchVogel I wouldn't exactly call this a SRPG. I mean half of all turn-based JRPG's use similar battle engines and those aren't SRPG's so... ๐
It'd be like calling the Trails series an SRPG series, which clearly it's not.
