It filled up within 30 seconds of the link going live.

DS games in NSO? A new Mii app? Some kind of messaging feature?

No idea what this could be tbh.

Played the PC demo a couple months back and was surprised how mediocre every aspect of the game felt. It seemed promising in the trailers...

@Sylamp I don't get why people are thinking Switch 2 news would come now when the holiday season is right around the corner.

They better not add Xenoblade music to this so I'm not tempted to buy it....

Great news! I'll definitely buy this.

That's awesome. Hope it pays off greatly for them.

Rosalinde, Virginia and Scarlett were among my favorites so happy to see they all made it in the top 10!

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom - Just completed the Hyrule Castle dungeon. It feels like the game has opened up more so I'm gonna do some exploring and look for sidequests before I tackle the next objective. So far, it's been a pleasant experience and the difficulty is just right for me.

Trials of Mana (Remake) - Right at the beginning of Chapter III so it's time to head to Snow Hamlet Alrant. I would like to progress enough to get the second job change but I don't think I'll make that far this weekend.[/strong]

Final Fantasy IX - Made it to Dark City Treno with Dagger, Steiner and Marcus. Curious to see how this segment of the story goes and how long until they get reunited with the main party.

Yeah it would have been nice if there was an OLED Lite model. One thing I've noticed when playing my Lite is that it makes me appreciate my OLED Switch a lot more. That said, I'm not gonna void my warranty for something like this so I'll make do with the systems as is.

Congrats to Zelda!

@Ryu_Niiyama Personally, I think I'm just gonna play the Trails in the Sky First Chapter remake (and the remake of its sequel if it gets one) and maybe the Daybreak trilogy and leave it at that. I just can't bothered or interested to play every game in chronological order. It'd be like if every new Final Fantasy game was a sequel to the previous one. At least the Ys games can be played in whatever order you want.

I straight up don't notice it in EoW. I also played A Link's Awakening for the first time recently....and same for that? There is that one swap area by the second dungeon entrance that causes some dips but otherwise, I can't tell most of the time.

That said, hopefully they release a performance patch or something so people can just enjoy the game for it is.

@Pillowpants If you have at least the basic NSO subscription, you can transfer the save data between devices with that.

That said, the problem is whichever system isn't the primary console will require a network connection when playing digital games AND games that have DLC (free or paid, unfortunately) loaded on them.

So it sounds like would you need to make the Lite your primary console and the docked Switch the secondary.

I already have a TOTK OLED but decided to grab one of these anyway. Glad I did because it's a really sleek device with a pretty design. Didn't compare the exact weights but it seemed about as light as a Vita slime which is crazy to me.

While there is no beating the OLED display for me, I got my Lite loaded with a bunch physical games I own that don't have any DLC so I can keep everything on one account for both devices. Will probably use this mainly for when I need to travel light.

So Monolift Soft’s JP Twitter released an Anniversary video showcase all of their games.

I wonder if NoA/NoE will post an English version tomorrow.

@Anti-Matter 5 (not counting DLCs)

Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Endless Frontier
Project X Zone
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition
Xenoblade Chronicles 3

Excellent games.

I also have the Baten Kaitos re-release so that’s 2 more when I get around to those. I bought a used Wii U for Xenoblade Chronicles X about two years but would absolutely buy it again with a Switch port or Switch successor port. I’d also try out the Xenosaga games if those got a re-release.

If you include their support games, my list doubles.

Also, the third game in the thumbnail is an untranslated game they made called Soma Bringer? And it’s a Diablo like? Nintendo, can we get an English version on NSO whenever (hopefully) DS support comes? 😭

Monolift Soft is a wonderful studio and they’ve contributed so much to the Switch with the Xenoblade games and their support work on games like BOTW, TOTK, Splatoon 3, etc.

Can’t wait to see what their next game is going to be and I hope it’s a success.

I might still be in the honeymoon phase but I would lean towards a low 9 or high 8.

I played this for awhile when it came out and despite the lighter than expected story, (why did they make the two main characters borderline silent protagonists? 😭) I enjoyed it a lot. The combat, exploration and music did not disappoint. But life happened and I didn't get a chance to finish it.

I had been thinking about if I should start over when I have the chance and based on this update, it seems like that would be the best route to take. I'm curious to see what the new prologue looks like and how the combat adjustments affect the flow of the game.

There's a lot of stuff here that I'm interested in.

Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time - Keeping my eye on how this turns out. I wasn't a fan of the original Fantasy Life on 3DS but my tastes have changed a lot since then and the new game seems neat.

FANTASIAN Neo Dimension - This continues to look really nice and I'll probably be playing it exclusively in handheld to take advantage of the OLED display. One addition that I was happy to see over the Apple Arcade version was voice acting.

Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road - Interested in this but haven't been following it too closely. The Switch beta from a couple months ago sold me on the gameplay so I'll be more invested once the release date gets closer.

Fairy Tail 2 - Still surprised this is a thing but I'm glad it is. I think this game will benefit from having a lot of characters and side content outside of the story so hopefully they accomplish that. Personally, I thought the Switch port of first Fairy Tail game was bad but KT has put out a lot more optimized ports since then so here's hoping this one is better.

Sonic X Shadow Generations - Not much to say aside from this looks great and I am very interested to play as someone who didn't play the original Generations and is a big fan of Shadow. My only concern is performance since Sonic games are hit or miss on the system. Locked or consistent framerate and decent resolution in handheld and docked are all that I ask.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake - This is the game on the list that I am most excited for. Never played the original but all the new additions and QoLs are sounding great! Another game I'll be playing mostly in handheld mode.

So yeah, DQIII HD-2D, FANTASIAN Neo Dimension and Sonic got my vote.

Echoes of Wisdom is the big one for me. So far, I'm at the Gerudo Desert and working on that quest line. The game is really charming and just nice to play around in. Sometimes I have to remember I have certain Echoes with certain abilities because there's already been so many to get.

Outside on that, continuing my new playthrough of Trials of Mana. I got the first job change for my party (Duran/Angela/Reisz) and went dull dark alignment. Really looking forward to getting to the postgame this time as I never got around to that with my first playthrough in 2020. I am also appreciating how much of a good game this is as a remake and just in general.

Lastly, I'm gonna put some more time into Final Fantasy IX. Just reached Disk 2 and curious to see where the story goes from here. Currently a big fan of all the currently playable characters and how they are developing.

For non-Switch, I may try and get some playtime in FFXIV with post-Dawntrail stuff and Lolipop Chainsaw RePop on PC. Switch is gonna priority for me this weekend tho.

@xmkbest Since it's a November release, I'm thinking late October if we get a demo.

Yeah, this looks great. One of the reasons I'm not always keen on first person views in RPGs is a lack of cool spell & monster animations and not being able to see your party in combat. Thankfully, this has a little bit of both.

Probably never changing my Xenoblade icon but I will still spend my platinum points on all of these just like I did with TOTK. 🫠

Goodness, she’s so pretty.

Also, I had no idea that Sol Badguy’s Japanese voice actor was Jouji Nakata. That alone makes me want to try this out.

I played Blazblue a lot in the past but never Guilty Gear.

Those keychains look really cool. I'd love a GBA (my first Nintendo system) keychain like that but would definitely settle for the GB one if I had the chance.

Hoping they settle out of court soon so we can go back to not having this game in the headlines every other day.

Deserved. Excellent game. I still listen to the music from time to time.

Is it greedy that I want more Shadow stuff?

That thumbnail is cursed lol.

Looking forward to the inevitable memes. (Ideally, after I finish the game since I'll be avoiding spoilers)

@rvcolem1 Just out of curiosity, where do you get your games from?

For me, it's mostly Amazon or Best Buy and every now and then, GameStop.

For some reason, I decided to go back to the Trials of Mana remake for the first time since I beat it in 2020. Back then, I only did one route (Duran/Angela/Riesz) so I decided to start over and hopefully I'll get through all three routes this time.

I'm also going to try and play more Link's Awakening, Final Fantasy IX and Atelier Ryza 1 as well. I was hoping to have Link's Awakening completed before Echoes of Wisdom came out but that might not happen. (I needed a break after the hookshot dungeon 😅)

Auto-play text for Ryza 1 is a great addition. I'm currently playing through it and was shocked that feature wasn't available for such a text heavy game.

@Ulysses Here's hoping SE actually takes the initiative with the next system. 😭

It looks like a bigger OLED. Neat.

I know some leaks are suggesting only LCD models at launch but I hope there's an OLED version too even if I have to pay more for it.

@kingbk Think there’s any chance we’ll get Chrono Trigger on NSO or as a separate port? I don’t get why SE hasn’t already put it on the system somewhere.

Never thought I’d see this again and definitely not on a non-Sony platform. I played this a lot on Vita and will absolutely pick it up again on Switch! It looks like they made adjustments to the crafting system too which is great! (It was tedious in the original game)

I’ll deal with 30 fps but I really hope they didn’t mess up the resolution. The switch should be able to handle the game at 720p in handheld mode.

@jwfurness Gotta love SwitchUp. I'm keeping my pre-order for the physical version and will play it next year.

Cool to see good reviews. Guess I'll need to wait a bit longer for Switch specific reviews. Mostly just wanna know if it runs alright during the 3D segments.

Stable 30 with good resolution is all I want anyway. Hopefully it deliver that.

Alright, the Grand Festival area is REALLY cool. I could vibe at either one of the concert areas. I wish we could queue from there lol.

It’s gonna be a shame when it goes away after the Splatfest 😭

Sony doesn't really have anyone to blame but themselves. How many times has the PS5 had a price hike in Japan? Hopefully Astrobot sells well worldwide.

Anyway, I hope Nintendo does a good job with Switch 2's launch titles and price. Would be a shame to see a repeat of the PSP vs PSVita situation in Japan where it takes devs forever to switch over to the new system because the old system continues to sell well. (It's unlikely but still)

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is gonna be a buy for me but sometime later. Also, still just bummed that Switch missed out on it's chance for MvC3 since it could easily run the game.

The Plucky Squire looks great. I'm just waiting for Switch specific reviews and gameplay footage before pulling the trigger on a pre-order of the physical edition.

Lastly, I am interested in Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP since I never played the original but skipping the physical release due to it being LRG and waiting to see what Switch performance looks like before I consider grabbing it from the eShop.

@sonicbooming The game has a lot of content but this will be the last major Splatfest. That said, they may do additional Splatfests afterwards but it'll probably be intermittent rather than every other month.

The game also has a catalog feature that's basically a free, ingame battle pass that gives you some cosmetics and emotes and that just reset from when the game originally launched.

Ultimately, jumping in now wouldn't be bad. I would just try and play this weekend so you can experience the Grand Festival event before it ends.

Team Present for me. I will always love Off the Hook.

Hopefully if they win, we can get OTH featured in the main game story for Splatoon 4 rather than being regulated to DLC again.

@Debo626 TOTK has made it hard for me to go back to BOTW but if I did, it would definitely be for the fully powered Master Sword and the Master Cycle Zero.

@Axecon I hope you are right. I want a trial of Sword with TOTK mechanics and a full power Master Sword.

@MegaVel91 Most likely the recently announced PC port. Same with FFXVI.

Seeing DECAPOLICE again would be nice.

Personally, I still want a Yokai Watch 4 western release to happen but I guess a completely new game would be fine too if they localized it right away.

Also, please advertise your games here Level-5. The way Megaton Musashi released in the West was silly.
