Eh I knew this was bound to happen but got the digital version anyways. Price tag is a little up there, if this doesnt include the dlc but ill be getting it since it will be the only means to have it physically for the switch.
@a_brave_new_geek Ive tried putting my response to this together a couple times. The best way to put it is
XC1 and Future Connected are connected through plot. (these two are continually connected)
XC1 and XC2 are loosely connected. (playing both games is the best option)
Torna and XC2 are connected through plot. (these two dont required to both be played but they do compliment each other in some aspects throughout the story.)
XCX is plot doesnt compliment these games. (standalone) Thats my personal thoughts on these games.
@a_brave_new_geek going through that list, i think xeno1 might be the most accessible. there are a few on the list i havent touched being Disagea 5 and Xis 9. I out of the others for me Xeno One switch was the most accessible. I think thats a good place to start, especially if you are looking to go to xeno 3 soon.
Love to get this, Bayo 2 is looking lonely on the shelf right now. After this and Bayo 3 ill be singing about thinking my collection is complete like the Little Mermaid
@LittleGhost From my end, I was always interested in RPGs and would start a few here or there but never see things through. Xenoblade Chronicles the original was one of the very first RPGs I completed. Some game aspects fell by the wayside, but the story kept me wanting more. I'd really recommend this series if you have any interest in JRPGs.
Ill believe this when I see it. I always loved watching all the events during e3, even for companies I wasnt fully interested in. Mainly since it was just coming together of gaming
Xenoblade 3, Nier, Persona 5, Pokemon Violet, and Sonic Frontiers. Are the main games I'm looking forward to this year, if anything changes as far as Prime Remaster, then that will be there too.
YESSSSSSSS IVE BEEN WAITING! This looks really good on switch. I love the little snippet they showed for cyberspace. Looks like it could be one of the best sonic games .Now if only they showed this from the start. I don't care what lies ahead No time for guessing, follow my plan instead!
Just sitting here reading through the comments, we could get that new Disney game Disney Dreamlight Valley also we could get a look at Hogwarts Legacy, Sonic Frontiers, That Mech Game dont recall the name, Klonoa, LiveALive, Persona, Genshin Impact, and Temtem, and maybe that Krypto Super Dog game, also Mario and Rabbids could be there too, Also maybe surprise announcement of Dragons Dogma 2. Its not that im interested in all of them, but these alone sound like something for everyone. At least i think
Either way Im excited. Switch is my main system so I can always use more 3Rd party games. But Would have loved to see more nintendo made content. Maybe we will see Sonic Frontiers gameplay on switch
Im so excited for this release. Love the first game and the branching options in the story. I cant wait to dive back in and see whats going on. I must solve everything!
Hmm... IM definitely interested, not going to lie. Sonic is my favorite gaming franchise. And the openness looks good. combat is hard to nail down, but looks a bit stiff. Still excited!
Honestly as We have seen time and time again, Nintendo creates the most wild (pun slightly intended) games for their consoles. Being the console and game developers they know where they can twist its arms to work for their vision. Even with framerate issues, there arent many games that Nintendo releases that REALLY struggle.
@Thomystic I recently changed my Micro SD card out for a 128gb. That way i can be ready as I drop more and more games on to it. Right now is a perfect time to get some of the Atlus games on sale as they are 50% or more off. I think there is something special when it comes to playing games on their intended hardware. So preserving the games whether its digitally or physically.
I mind but dont mind this delay. I was really beginning to believe we might get the game. But the lack of details during that Feb. Direct made me start some speculation. I understand that Zelda takes it time and overall dont mind the delay. Just was getting extremely excited for this year to be "The Sequel to 2017". Oh well good thing Xenoblade 3 is coming.
For me I see both games in both lights. Both are open allowing you to make up some random story why you need to murder this person or why you need to plant a money tree. But I think the main point of this article was describing that the world of Animal Crossing, because its so contained it allows it to be interactable even if those interactions are limited feeling connect in a unified world. In GTA many things are interactable, but how those things interact or relate to each other are pretty scarce. Sure they match real life but when the majority of buildings are just there to either stand on or land on it can break the immersion.
Personally I just got the Metroid Posters and thats all good. But I do miss the days of Club Nintendo and the yearly rewards you would receive. But this had some decent rewards. Just started off in such bad light I get why many people didnt even know they did physical rewards
Love that they did this video. Dying Light on the Switch has really resurrected the game for me. I put it to rest on the PS4 years back and somehow they brought my wallet back from the graveyard for another trip around Harran!
@PhhhCough I owned the PS4 version of the game for years and it was one of my favorite zombie games. When I loaned it to a friend, I hoped that I would be seeing this come to Switch. Over the last week its been great. Sure you have your standard drawbacks with the game coming from a more powerful console. But in my opinion this is my most enjoyable way to experience the game. Handheld keeps me playing while at work, then Docked gets me back home on the TV. I am probably about 10 hours in and still get shocked by how good it runs and looks when I'm comparing it to what I remember of the PS4 version.
@WhiteUmbrella I'm not gonna deny that they could and probably should. But in the scheme of things I think that gaming is most often given unique innovations or expressive imagination when there is a limit in place.
@GrailUK This is exactly my though process behind limitations. As well. I think that limitations help breed imagination. Having something limit you makes it so you have to think of a new way to approach things. And having everything given to you to just make things look better doesn't really breed innovation.

Re: Soapbox: Even If GTA Trilogy Were Perfect, I'd Rather Be Shooting Balloons And Burying Gyroids
For me I see both games in both lights. Both are open allowing you to make up some random story why you need to murder this person or why you need to plant a money tree. But I think the main point of this article was describing that the world of Animal Crossing, because its so contained it allows it to be interactable even if those interactions are limited feeling connect in a unified world.

Re: Review: Dying Light Platinum Edition - A Solid Switch Port That'll Please Portable Players
@PhhhCough I owned the PS4 version of the game for years and it was one of my favorite zombie games. When I loaned it to a friend, I hoped that I would be seeing this come to Switch.
