It really feels rushed, i'm actually surprised you didn't mistaken with Stories.

I rather have DLC codes included or maybe in the cart.

Wish we got the Animal Crossing edition in NA, i would pick it to keep as a spare unit.

After playing to death on my 3DS i think i'll just wait for a discount on the Switch.

Sparklite looks good, it picked my interested.

Walking Vegetables looks like Enter the Gungeon...

This game will use the same engine used in Just Cause 3, that game ran at 15~25 fps at times on the PS4/Xbox 1.

I'm not exactly expecting them to bring to the Switch if this game runs the same.

@NEStalgia My cousin has a Wii, she buys Just Dance every year since the 2014 version. Every. Single. One.

Her family also loves it...

The difference is actually way higher in my region. Some games costs like 50% in some cases, but that applies to the PS4 and Xbox One as well.

Steam is just very convenient and cheaper in some parts of the world, like South America. Which is why i only buy exclusives on consoles and buy the rest on Steam.

Don't release on Switch, gets harassed non-stop. Release on Switch, gets hated anyway. I don't envy indie developers...

This shows the situation of (real) indie devs struggling to survive the flood on the market. While the free promotion raised awareness of the franchise, it doesn't feed any mouths.

I once saw some people calling Chucklefish "greedy bastards" for not giving a 75% discount on Stardew Valley (a $14.99 game) during a Steam sales. The mentality of some people...

While what he said is true, Ark is a very bad example. The PC version is pretty much a turd and the PS4 Pro at 720p with a lot of fps dips, the base PS4 runs at... 640p.

No amount of cpu/gpu power can make this game run properly, i don't have high expectations for the Switch port.

Switch (or any other platform) is not getting all the games on the market, whether you like it or not. I recommend investing on a second platform or just enjoy what the Switch has to offer.

[Insert game company] wants [insert character name] in Smash.

I like how Atlus keeps supporting older platforms longer than most publishers, they did the same with Persona 4 (PS2) and Persona 5 (PS3). Sometimes it pays off since you don't have much competition and have a huge install base looking for new releases. Now that PQ2 localization is looking more likely to happen...

I hope they make a limited edition like previous games.

The license costs $800 per year and that's not counting the Switch dev kit you have to buy. Unity gives you exports for all platforms (mobile included) and costs half the price per year.

Personally i don't think it'll be much of an issue or worse than what already is with Unity. Most shovelwares on mobile and Steam uses Unity anyway.

Nope, not interested. I already have all the Gunvolt games which is a much better choice.

But i feel sorry for the people who backed and are still waiting for it. They should at least get a code for another platform or a refund.

I hope they do these events in-game instead for the Pokémon on Switch. There is gamers outside NA/EU/JP too you know...

Day one for me if it's localized, i really liked the original and as a fan of Etrian Odyssey gameplay i can't just skip this.

I'm hoping they will bring EOX too.

@Joeynator3000 PC, X1 and PS4 as well.

I can't see the appeal on it with all the missing features. I rather just buy a skin.

That's the standard situation of a gamer living in a developing country. You receive less per month and still have to pay more than most people, telling from experience.

Sony paid Square-Enix to keep the game off the Switch!

Wait, wrong conspiracy...

@nab1 I think it depends where the owner lives and where the website is hosted. It seems to be hard to take legal actions depending where they are located.

Curiously most of the long standing websites with this type of content are from Russia, China and Hong Kong.

@zonks I play solo most of the time on my 3DS, still love it.

Certainly more enjoyable if you can play with friends but the game is still pretty fun when soloing monsters by yourself.

New game but honestly i rather get more games from other franchises during the Switch lifetime. Like more FE, Metroid and Pokemon games.

Eshop could have a better design and discovery. While Steam is pretty infamous i rarely see any [removed] game on the storefront, probably because the recommended algorithm they've put in place.

For example i buy a lot of anime and pixel-art games so i always see these type of games on the storefront when something new is released. Games like Bad Rats and AIDS Simulator never appear to me unless i go out of my way to search for it.

If Nintendo is really going that route (very likely) then the Eshop could use some rework in the design and discovery of games.

High quality 2D turn-based JRPG game are rare these days so it's expected.

I hope it picks the interest of more developers to bring more games like this.

Nintendo Steam.

@HobbitGamer It's like some people are being forced to read these articles. I don't like to read anything related to sports so when i'm reading general news i just skip to the next one.

But i guess that would makes too much sense here.

I don't think is just the localization delay. The series itself is very niche in the west.

It's probably because the gameplay is still a very classic turn-based JRPG. Unlike the FF series which aims to reach a "broader" audience being more action...ish.

Still i would appreciate a faster localization as long it doesn't affect the quality. Dragon Quest is one of the few triple-A turn based JRPG in the market after all.

@Savino I used to install all kinda of graphics/texture mods on the original release. I remember taking a hour to install and configure the RealVision mods heh

For the Special Edition i just stuck with vanilla graphics though, but i still can't stand the default hairs.

Not importing but if it comes to NA i might pick one of them to keep it as a spare unit.

I play on PC and i only used hair mods to be honest.

As for lacking the Creation Club, i would take it as a benefit at this point. Pretty much everything being sold there is available for free on the Nexus.

They probably expected more money but i doubt it cost them more than 60 million to develop so it's still a profit.

Fire Emblem Heroes is quite fun, no wonder is doing so well.

As long it has backward compatibility with my 3DS games, i'm in.

Funny this coming from Ubisoft, i play Rainbow Six Siege frequently and their servers go down almost everyday.

They can't handle multiplayer servers properly, let alone a proper streaming service.

Definitely picking this one up, i enjoyed it a lot back in the day.

I would personally rate it higher but i don't expect everyone to like Crash as much as Mario or Donkey Kong. Also 7 is far from bad, is anything below 9/10 considered shit?

I'm in for more Metroid, after Samus Returns it got me wanting for more.

Too many words for nothing.

Not locking accounts would be a start.

@Realnoize I'm not really a fan of digital, i don't hate it but i don't love it either. But like i said i don't really have a choice on PC where 99% of the games is digital only or the physical still forces to use a digital platform. However one good point was the regional pricing on Steam, which makes PC games cheaper than consoles (at least on my country) so it kinda of pays off around here.

On my 3DS though i went with physical copies as much possible, aside from the VC games and the Eshop only indie titles.

However my problem with digital games is not much about ownership but more about internet connection. I'm from a third world country where speeds are sub-par and most places has data cap. I don't think most places is ready for digital content, at least for gaming (downloading a 80GB game is different from a 5MB music track after all).

I still believe in the future gaming will be digital only, just not that soon. I feel like it'll take at least more than a decade for us to get there.

I'm only digital on PC (well, no choice for most part) so i can see that happening at some point for consoles. But 2022 seems way too soon, i believe it'll happen but not that soon.

Couldn't they just ban the consoles pirating games and leave the card alone? This is pretty much like the old online passes from EA but worse.

I'm still bummed we're not getting the 3DS version, that version was pretty unique.

Next article: "Phil Spencer takes a selfie with Miyamoto, Halo 6 for Switch?"

Should be like this for every game but i guess Nintendo just loves to make everything requires a separate accessory.

The expectations from the people here is reaching the heavens. I wouldn't expect good things from them, maybe PES or some retro games emulation.

I remember hearing about this on the last generation and the current one.

Streaming games over cloud is still in early stages and not even available on most countries. Not everyone is from NA/EU/JP after all.

You people amaze me... i mean, Digital Foundry is pretty much all about technical analyzing. If you don't care about that part of the game then maybe don't read such articles?

I find them quite interesting, regardless if the game runs great or not.

Not really interested but i might check the Let's Go games at some point during the Switch lifetime. Definitely not dropping $60 on them.
