@nessisonett The people moaning about Persona 5 on Switch and stuff are mostly bitter that Smash has been getting a better lineup of PlayStation All Stars than PlayStation All Stars instead of third party characters that are "familiar to the Nintendo crowd" as if nobody knows who Solid Snake and goddamn Cloud Strife are

They will continue to bicker. Only people who realize Atlus should be supported regardless of series will be picking this one up and I hope those people increase in numbers thanks to the exposure games like Persona, Catherine and Nocturne HD got

The plot sounds incredibly similar to Nocturne in terms of set up but has some Strange Journey vibes with the integration of an organization overseeing efforts to fight the demons as well

I love that they're going a bit more open ended by having you traverse the world in an open ended fashion. It looks like instead of dungeons you just roam around Tokyo fighting and allying with demons, which sounds like a great progression for the series and something that's really well suited to handheld play in particular

I really hope they do more indie collabs or third party collaborations in the future. One of my favorite things about the DS/GameCube era was when Nintendo would be fully hands on with third party games coming to their systems and it would result in really cool crossover content like Link in SoulCalibur 2 or MGS Twin Snakes having Nintendo easter-eggs and replacing all the PS1 game references with stuff like Psycho Mantis finding out you like Super Smash Bros. and Mario Sunshine. I also wasn't even thinking about buying Skyrim again on Switch but then they showed off the Zelda gear you could equip on your Dragonborn

I will only accept a Tekken 7 port on Switch if it either comes with all the cool Nintendo costumes from Tag 2 on Wii U or Captain Falcon as a guest character

@RushDawg Also Nocturne HD, Catherine Full Body, TMS #FE and even re-releasing the first two SMT titles on the Switch Online service in Japan

Atlus didn't slack with Switch. People just don't care because it isn't Persona and that's sad

@Kineas I mean they're not WRONG. Persona Q and Q2 at the very least are Nintendo-exclusives and one of the most popular protagonists in the series is a character in a Nintendo-published fighting game despite his game being PlayStation-exclusive so that has to mean something

@MarkyVigoroth Please let that first one be true

They can even rebrand it as something like Persona 0 since SMT If is basically a beta for the original Revelations game and established many of its ideas

@Heavyarms55 Bye. Don't need you. Have fun missing out on SMT V because there's no waifu dating

@Kirbo100 I was talking mostly mainline

Obviously there was a period in the early-mid 2000s where the PS2 got a crap ton of Atlus stuff outside Persona, but nowadays PlayStation basically gets nothing but Persona stuff. In terms of main entries a new one hasn't debuted on their platforms since Nocturne in 2003

@Chamver Tell Atlus to give Sony a non-Nocturne mainline SMT first lol

or how about the dozens of non-Persona Atlus games like Etrian, Trauma Center and MegaTen subseries like Devil Survivor that are all Nintendo-exclusive

@Orpheus79V Either the primary color is white or it's white for now and then when the game actually gets revealed it'll change to a graphic featuring it's official color

I'm calling green personally

@Orpheus79V Exactly. That and SMT V being this close to release means they're probably going to wait until that project is close to or is out the door and then blow their load off with Persona stuff since they clearly have a lot of stuff planned

Each main entry goes into pre-production after the latest one releases so P6 has been in development since around 2017/2018. It's probably about time it gets officially revealed or even teased like P5 did in 2013

@yamato2706 All the mystery slots have the TV graphic. The yellow is probably to indicate which date is most imminent

The Fall 2022 thing and the fact the website is teasing a secret image next to all the main protagonists (including Naoya, Tatsuya and Maya from P1/2) has to mean Persona 6 is imminent

The Switch project will be...a new Arena game that will also be on PS4 and PS5

@anoyonmus Hypermotion is also exclusive to next gen. The PS4 and Xbox One versions are probably just using Frostbite like they always have. It might be more taxing to get it to work on Switch but they clearly cut corners for PvZ and that's a full fat game using the same engine that PS4/Xbox One use. They clearly can't get Hypermotion to work but anything is better than just sticking with Ignite which has been in use since like 5 or 6 FIFAs ago. Ignite looks extremely ancient now and the animations just haven't aged well

This looks even worse in hindsight considering we now know Switch is actually capable of running Frostbite games because of PvZ and they're still using Ignite for the Switch versions of FIFA games

@Tantani The budget will probably run out by Season 3 as well for better animation

That's sick they gave those characters from BlazBlue Cross Tag their own game. They should totally do a show about them one day like that Yu Narukami dude

I'm honestly baffled they didn't use the Surface-like kickstand from the start

Even when watching the reveal trailer back then I knew that kickstand was going to probably end up being one of those really flimsy ones that was easy to snap off if stood up enough times

@Zack02 I would NOT be one of those people lol

Seeing SMT and Persona repped in the same game would be like dream come true material for me

I honestly don't know what to expect

It's a complete toss up as to whether they go with a first party rep to even the first-third party ratio in this Fighters Pass or decide to break the internet again like Bayonetta

@sixrings Crash was also a complete remake from the ground up on a new engine and a completely new graphical style that was specificially optimized first for PS4 and then ported to other platforms

I'm probably getting this on PS5 for 4K support and definite 60fps performance. I was going to get it on PC but Epic Store means the mod support isn't going to be nearly as robust as Steam's and that's usually why I bought Sonic games on PC at all, and I know the Switch version will probably be handicapped in some ways like Forces on Switch was

Quality control the eShop is really starting to become a problem

This is slowly turning into the second Steam Store lol

@-Juice- I'd say GBC was more iterative of a jump from Game Boy compared to GBA from GBC. GBA was like a proper successor by comparison

@CactusMan Handhelds have and always have been where they retained a massive footprint in the industry even as consoles past the SNES struggled to really capture the high obtained by their inital efforts. Even the most successful competing handhelds like the PSP were still selling a fraction of how well the DS managed to accumulate sales and an install base by end-of-life. The only platform in general that managed to edge it out was PS2, which had been going strong for 4 straight years when DS dropped. The Wii was largely successful due to its targeting of people who don't traditionally play video games but it's not like those people were going to come back to it anyway if they were hooked, which is why the Wii U doing the same thing backfired so spectacularly. Switch tapping into both ecosystems ensured it wouldn't alienate either audience of casual or core gamers which is why it worked way more effectively compared to most prior consoles.

I think a 4K capable Switch or just Nintendo console in general will end up pointing to Nintendo's next console in general or a Switch successor since I can see Switch becoming a DS-style line of consoles in of itself

Nintendo as of late have always been like a generation behind everyone else in terms of actual spec bumps. It took them three whole consoles to give us a console with an ethernet port. I'm not expecting a 4K Nintendo console until Nintendo flat out makes a new home console or a new Switch

This is probably even more unrealistic of a scenario than that whole cookout scene from the original Switch reveal trailer lol

Man didn't even like go up to his room or to where his Switch dock is in his entertainment center. He just came home without saying hi to his wife and started playing Pokemon Diamond lol

Although tbf if the game was SMT V I'd be doing the same thing

If I'm going to choose a special edition of this game to get, I honestly would just go for the Killion Dollar Trilogy that comes with all 3 games

@Dirty0814 Well you know what after seeing The Lorax and The Grinch both get destroyed first hand in theaters by the same exact studio featuring trendy pop tunes and complete disregard for the original book's characterization and messaging maybe I have gained some bitterness

To this day I just haven't encountered anyone on a plane sitting up their Switch in tabletop mode and playing with the Joy-Con detached

I've seen plenty of people bring their Switches to school or out in public but it doesn't attract nearly the amount of attention as that cookout scene like "Oh my god is that the new Mario!? Can I show my friends???"

@travisrusko Considering the film has reportedly entered full production now according to Shuntaro Furukawa, if they haven't gotten Charles Martinet in a recording booth as of now, they probably won't anytime soon. Knowing Illumination they'll probably cast big name Hollywood actors for the voices like Dwayne Johnson as Mario and Lin Manuel Miranda as Luigi or something

People were actually expecting Charles Martinet to be approached for the role

This is Hollywood baby! We're not playing by Nintendo's rules anymore. Illumination has infamously been a studio that loves making movies, especially adaptations as cheaply as possible. It's literally their mantra, all while casting bankable actors whose names they can stick on posters and advertising. Even Paramount did that with Sonic given Jim Carrey was everywhere in the advertising and both him and James Marsden were given top billing over the literal voice of the title role

I usually play devil's advocate and give the benefit of the doubt with movies like this until footage is shown, but Illumination has proved time and time again that they clearly don't have an artistic or creative drive behind any movie they make. They go the cheap, super cost effective route for the sake of their movies making mountains of profit. Of course they wouldn't care about hiring the voice associated with the character for decades. He's a nobody in Hollywood. It's all about the star power with them.

Miyamoto being a "producer" on this film will probably not mean anything in regards to the film's actual quality or even faithfulness to the material. Liberties will inevitably be taken to pander the film towards casual audiences who vaguely remember the image of an NES controller and not people who are actually Nintendo fans

@SakuraHaruka Does Dancing Sad come from the timeline where Kefka becomes a depressed alcoholic after being treated like trailer trash by Emperor Gestahl

I'd be more interested if they released the console unit without the Joy-Con or extra stuff. I don't see a need to pony up extra cash for everything on the OLED upgrade especially given it has no benefits in terms of the dock by itself, but that larger screen does look noticeably nicer

Wasn't expecting that much anyway

I was always under the assumption that the next Nintendo console whether it be the Switch 2 or something new would be where they attempt to address the power disparity between them and Sony/Microsoft

I was honestly expecting 4K output in TV mode though. Kind of seems weird to solely cater this model seemingly to just the people who play in handheld mode when it's a full fat Switch and not a Lite model

@Clyde_Radcliffe I'm pretty sure it's a joke.

> New ethernet port

Congratulations Nintendo you finally made it to 2006

The Joy-Con actually have 4K Rumble. Insiders told me

I was at least holding out hope for some upgrade to the dock that would benefit players who game more in TV Mode like 4K output or something like that. As is I feel people who game in handheld almost exclusively like myself might get a lot more mileage out of the upgrade

I still think 64GB of internal storage is meager though. There are games on Switch with download sizes that take up half that capacity

@KillerBOB I feel you're only going to really get mileage out of this new Switch if you primarily play in handheld mode. It's tricky with the Vita for me because I loved the OLED screen but the Slim model just felt better in the hands imo thanks to the larger grips on the back and the softer finish

@PhhhCough I imagine they've probably not done extremely well but that's probably because people who are dying to play these games probably for the most part aren't even getting them on Switch to begin with and have access to the platforms that can run the games natively

@yuwarite OLED has no improvements in terms of internal specs. You're basically paying for a better screen, more internal memory, a better kickstand and integrated LAN support. No new CPU or SoC or anything like that.

@Rika_Yoshitake OLED's big but honestly for those not upgrading or waiting for a bit later to jump in the LCD on Switch as is looks really damn good. It's not an incredible jump but it is a notable improvement in the way the screen displays colors and color depth

As someone who's owned both a launch Vita with the OLED screen and the Slim one with the LCD screen it does make a difference, especially in regards to games I played like Tearaway, Gravity Rush, Persona 4 Golden and Killzone Mercenary. The colors just pop a lot more even if LCD isn't that much of a downgrade by comparison and the Switch's screen as is still looks great for a handheld

Again though it kind of sucks that there are basically no new upgrades for people who game in TV Mode primarily. I was at least expecting an update to the dock output if anything at all, not necessarily a spec bump or anything

Also free on PS Plus this month for everyone here with PS4/PS5. No cloud strife necessary

Don't worry guys, the rumored OLED Switch will totally get a native port which will be 4K/120fps with V-Sync enabled and everything set to max detail. By the way I haven't been on the Nintendo website in a while let's see what's up--

NewGrounds was literally one of the big websites of my childhood, This is great

Link's lips always looked like they were botoxed in this game

@nessisonett Freddie just wanted to ENTERTAIN.

@Kb111 Damn who hurt you lol
