Thief

Jokes aside, I would absolutely love it if Nintendo actually did this. The chances of it happening are slimmer than Mother 3 getting localized, but I would buy these day one if it happened.

Add this to the list of reasons of why he's one of my favorite actors. Now I just need to know if he's ever played Dragon Quest.

@TonyTyga90 Two different teams are running those projects. The progress with Infinity Strash will not interfere with III HD-2D.

@LilyGoMEOW Conrad didn't help himself when he went after the publisher by saying her husband's passing absolved her company of any ownership to the game. He also defaced the game's page in retaliation, not a good look if this goes to court.

I get Conrad wasn't happy with the publishing agreement, but you can't just say "done with this partnership" and leave and take your ball home after a legal contract has already been drawn up and signed. There's a procedure to this, and he didn't follow it.

What I would pay to have X in English. Please Square, forget NFTs and go for this instead.

Hope this receives a physical release!

An absolute must-own. Don't pass up the chance to get this one!

@Acein210 Contrary to popular belief, many people aren't interested in learning how to mod. There will always be demand for legitimate copies of games, physical or digital.

@LikelySatan Still a ridiculous way to stretch the video. It's not surprising why the reception for it is divided.

@Waluigi451 You can still get ads on videos eight minutes long. I value my time and Jirard didn't need to waste it by showing us where he bought eShop cards or introducing the names of everyone in the video.

His video did not need to be 19 minutes long. Needlessly drawn out for YouTube ads. For example, why did we need to know the names of every person who helped him find eShop cards?

@Matl "Just because everything HAS gone up in price doesn't mean that everything SHOULD be going up in price."

Take it up with the economy then. Things across the board are getting more expensive to produce, and like it or not, the money has to come from somewhere to keep people employed.

Does Capcom not hold the full rights to Stories? Not only did they not mention it here, I've also noticed that it's never discounted alongside the other Capcom games during a sale.

@BiscuitCrumbsInMyBed Peach has always been a badass, so why shouldn't she also be strong in the movie? It's very telling when you have guys upset over something like that, especially when it comes to a fictional character.

@Bass_X0 Imagine being intimidated by a fictional female character being more assertive.

That means it's a little over a month away now!

@theModestMouse It's because they know people will still absolutely buy these titles at full price right until the very last minute.

@victordamazio That's not how copyright law works at all. If it bothers you that much, pirate it and be done with it - your idea is foolish and wouldn't fly anywhere.

@NinjaWaddleDee it has been Piven time and again that the mainline games will sell regardless of quality, so why should they? They can pour that extra money until projects like these rather than into projects that are guaranteed successes.

@dew12333 No thanks, I would like the opportunity to actually buy these games rather than pay a scalper for an original copy. Nothing is stopping you from just not buying something.

Well that's good. Frontiers was definitely a step in the right direction but not a 10/10 game, at least for me. It probably didn't help that I got it in the Switch, but the mechanics and story didn't really click with me.

@Stocksy If it was a paid advertisement, NL would be legally required to disclose that. A physical media announcement for a Switch game absolutely belongs here, regardless of your opinions on LRG.

What I would pay to finally own a legal copy of Binding Blade in English.

@HotGoomba The 21st is a Friday, first-party Nintendo games generally release on Fridays.

How is my man Kellam sitting at 0%?

@sanderev You do realize you could just not marry anyone, right? I'm always puzzled by people celebrating the removal of an optional feature. Does it really bother you that much?

@Spookles You're dreaming if you believe Nintendo should "lose" Pokémon - the highest grossing franchise in the world.

@JayJ Alright then, what makes Advance Aars better? It's been MIA for 15 years and Reboot Camp isn't even getting brought over to Japan. When I think of top of the line TRPGs, Advance Wars doesn't come to mind. Is it bad? No. But I haven't heard a convincing argument for why it's better than Fire Emblem.

@YoshiF2 lol, no. The sales for Fire Emblem Awakening alone matched the sales of every Advance Wars game in existence.

@Arawn93 FE never stopped being the priority for strategy games, Nintendo handing Reboot Camp off to a third-party studio and not bringing it over to Japan confirmed that much. And I'm sorry, but I never saw much "potential" in this from the start. The graphics were disappointing, and from what I saw, it was pretty bare-bones compared to other TRPGs kn the platform. And imagine paying the same price for this as you would Fire Emblem Engage or Triange Strategy - that's what really gets me.

@Arawn93 You say this like Reboot Camp even stood a chance before the delays. On the contrary, it was doomed from the start when Nintendo tapped WayForward (a studio that has never done a TRPG before) to helm the project. Fans were already scrutinizing the graphics, rightfully so might I add, and the $60 price tag was the final slap to the face.

That "initial interest" you mentioned was incredibly niche and more people talked about the delays than the actual game itself.

@MrHonest You do realize Fire Emblem Engage just released last week, right? Releasing Reboot Camp right now would be the worst decision, pitting two of their own TRPGs against one another. Better to wait unless you really want Reboot Camp to fail.

@BenAV They had the perfect release window to drop it in last year too - August 2022. The only competition that entire month were non-Nintendo titles; PAC-MAN WORLD: Re-Pac and Two-Point Campus.

Fire Emblem Engage just released and Teaes of the Kingdom is set for March, what are they thinking? This should have been held back until Q3 or Q4 2023. They might as well be taking it behind the shed releasing in in this quarter.

@I-U This is a low-priority IP that was handed off to a third-party studio to develop, there's no way they added additional content.

@JayJ The first game already had unfortunate timing with 9/11, it makes sense why Nintendo wouldn't want to repeat that with what is meant to be their attempt to revive this franchise.

@Axecon The odds were already stacked against this remake before etheh delays. Fans were already very critical of the weird artistic choice WayForward went with this, oh and wort noting, WayForward has never done a tactical game before. And charging a full $60? Nah, these facts alone guaranteed a mediocre reception, the delays simply made an unfavorable product worse.

@Serpenterror Maybe if the game didn't look so terrible and had more going for it. I don't think Reboot Camp is going to be the hidden gem on the Switch people look back on for decades to come, it's a forgettable TRPG in a sea of much superior games.

I'm actually surprised he wasn't provided with at least a free digital copy since he voiced one of the main characters. Makes me thankful that GameStop got my Divine Edition in without issue.

So excited to start playing this weekend!

@blindsquarel Collectors didn't ruin game collecting, video game companies did by not keeping their games readily available. It's disgusting that you take pleasure in someone's suffering. Shame on you.

@skadoom Dragon Quest Treasures (released Dec 9) also wasn't listed despite being mentioned in the opening paragraphs. It likely was too late to properly number either.

Very smart for Square to release a demo. I know there are people still on the fence for Treasures so this would be a great way to get more interest.

It's hard to believe I was watching Ash's journey on television as far back as Johto and here we are now. I'm definitely sad to see Ash go, but all good things have to come to an end. I'm just glad he finally got to have his victory. Farewell, Ash!

February can't come soon enough! Never got to play this so I'm really excited to give it a try.

Loving all of the positive reception this game is getting. It's well deserved, and from what I've played so far, serious effort was put into this one. Please don't sleep on this title, it's worth a try!

@jojobar It performs way better than SV, and considering it's not the highest-grossing franchise in the world with a history off cutting corners, the expectations are different.

The last time this happened, wasn't it someone impersonating Nintendo? Maybe let's wait and see how the appeal process goes before automatically assuming again.

@Not_Soos First world problems. This didn't need a second article and the older comments serve as good context for what has happened since the first arrest. You spent more effort typing this complaint up than simply scrolling down. Be better.

@JR150 Sorry, but voice-acting is at the bottom of the totem poles when it comes to things Game Freak needs to work on. If you can't play a JRPG without voice-acting, that says more about you.

@Mando44646 Would SwSh have been better games if they had voice-acting? No. If Game Freak is willing to put more time and money into their games, voice-acting should not be at the top of the priority list. Fix the graphics and optimization, first and foremost.

@Anti-Matter Only some of them, and the ones that did had weird audio sync issues.

Hell yes, getting this immediately! But does this mean there aren't plans to release the rest of the Humongous games on the Switch?

@Goofonzo Well the sale numbers absolutely matter because not only have they been the best in the entire franchise, it's what saved the franchise from going under. Facts are facts, the games leading up to Awakening sold awfully and made it very clear that the original format no longer worked. I don't know what's so hard to understand, especially when the series is more popular than ever and even Nintendo recognizes that with how much promotion it gets.

@Goofonzo Well clearly that following pre-Awakening died out because the sales numbers certainly do not reflect a strong base. And I'd argue it is better because it found a way to keep the franchise going, preserve the battle mechanics, and add a new flavor that it desperately needed.

If you liked how the original games were made great, but that direction was never going to last. The reality is there was no longer interest in that original style so there's no way it's ever coming back.

@Goofonzo Yet the series has never seen better sales, and without Awakening, there wouldn't have been anymore FE. If that's what a "downward spiral" looks like, then sign me up!

@Rykdrew There are plenty of pure strategy games on the Switch, take your pick. The relationship features are what saved this franchise from the brink of death and are what keep it popular to this day. It's not going anywhere, so just find another game if it bothers you that much.

@Pillowpants Yes! Even if it comes out a week or two after the game, I want this to be a thing. It would look gorgeous.
