@Rayquaza2510 That's only what Nintendo is worth on the stock market. It doesn't factor in their insane war chest of cash they possess. Not saying they are "worth" more than Acti-Blizz but they are certainly more costly than the number stated in the article.
@Orpheus79V It was a series on Netflix called Dad of light. It's nothing amazing, but I really enjoyed it. A story about a distant father (after retirement) and son who grow closer together through FF14.
I'm more interested in the fact that her starting class is "Lance Pegasus". Does this mean we'll get "Sword/Axe Pegasus" as well? Louis is a "Lance Armor" class and we know "Axe Armor (a.k.a. Armored Knight) will be in this game, so this gives me hope "Sword Armor" will be back as well. Haven't seen those since Radiant Dawn. Chloe does look nice, reminds me more of a pegasus Tharja though. lol Waiting to see Etie's profile. She looks adorable. Archer along with Pegasus are my favorite classes.
Shouldn't the dust settle before making claims like this? It's now sitting at 96 on open critic, below SMO's 97. Also sitting at 97 on MC in line with both SMO and Zelda, but only has 45 reviews. I still think Zelda BotW should be higher than SMO, I loved SMO and I wat more of it, but BotW was just amazing!
That's crazy! PS5 only sold 463 more console than the Xbox Series! I'm still assuming it's due to low stock of PS5, if it isn't, than peoeple are warming to Xbox and liking less Playstation.
@MajinSoul Good to see an other fellow person playing Prison Princess, I quite enjoyed it. For an escape game, it was definitely better than I expected. ^__^
@Specter_of-the_OLED Wait what?! I didn't even know Love Hina had games! I loved the anime and the manga, very funny. Any particular Love Hina game you would recommend?
@Einherjar I completely agree with the problem of censorship. Just let the creator release what they want, and let the costumers vote with their wallets. I do find it hilarious how the tables have turned on censorship though, Nintendo is still partly known as the company for kids because they used to censor a lot of games. So glad Nintendo just let's the developers release what ever they want (with the exception of AO games.)
I thought Sony gave into cross-play a couple years ago, or are they selectively choosing which popular game to allow cross-play now? The refusal of allowing devs the ability to implement cross-play in their games is also very dumb (and a form of censorship).
I thought the PS5 was fully backwards compatible with PS4 games, is it not?
Yes, Sony dug Vita's grave the second or third year in.... Even though is had lots of support from Japanese developers keeping it alive. Talk about "WOW", good job Sony....
@Einherjar This is simply a curiosity question, but what bad practices have Sony been implementing? I know they like to censor Japanese anime like games but what else are they doing?
I wish there was some sort of 'New Game +', where I could indeed restart my island from scratch, but I get to keep all my stores items and my complete catalog!
@Hck Are you certain it contains English support? When I check the Japanese eshop, I only saw Japanese and two type of Chinese languages supported. It's the only reason I hesitate buying it from amazon Japan.
@Vyacheslav333 The following is written on the official nintendo.co.jp website. ニンテンドー3DSシリーズの本体の生産はすべて終了いたしました。 It roughly translates to "Nintendo 3DS series of consoles are no longer being produced".
It's cool to see N64 and Genesis games come to NSO, however I was seriously hoping for Gameboy game to be honest. I'll have to pass for now is there's no N64 game I want that I haven't already played a ton. Although bring Diddy Kong Racing and I'll pay for this service the day it drops!
@depwnz Summer (from Kikujiro) is by far my favorite piece of his. The man is a genius. He's simply most famous for his work on the Hayao Miyazaki films from Studio Ghibli. I'm certain there's plenty of his music that most people have never heard.
@nessisonett I love this idea, I could image a classic style paper mario like game but with a ton a crude wario style humour, but it needs to be yellow and purple Wario! Playable Captain Syrup too please!
My wife loves Gelato Pique, and she finds Yoshi adorable, so that would be great for her. However, the brand itself isn't very cheap. Definitely a pass on this one.
Sounds like this game is digital only which is quite disappointing... I really want to buy this game, but if it's digital only, I'll probably wait until it's on sale.
It's not even in the NA or JP comming soon section on the eshop, so I can't even tell if the JP version supports english, (in case they end up getting it physical).
@WhiteUmbrella 28,600 yen is just 7,150 yen times 4. It's the exact same price, but you get a stand and a box to go with it. So it's "technically" a little cheaper to buy the complete set.
@chapu2006 You can literally see the Pokemon Store from within the Nintendo Store, it's just in front of the store. Outside of the Super Mario x Pokemon merch, I doubt they will sell Pokemon merch at the Nintendo store regardless of how big the Pokemon franchise is.
With this update including August firework, moon viewing items in September and Halloween items, seems like they won't need an other update until November for thanksgiving and toy day in December.... Well it was a good run....sort of.... I love the DIY aspect of this game, being able to decorate outside and seeing everything in HD, but I feel like New Leaf is the better game.
Upgrading my old launch day Switch to this seems worth it to me, I don't even get 3 hours of MHR playtime in handheld (as my wife usually uses the TV), I always ended up needing to take the TV from her so we don't need to stop!
@mazzel @path4smash @Brummieendo90 I live in Canada, Walmart, Amazon, EB Games, Nintendo Store Canada, Toys R Us have none, only BestBuy has a copy for $200... No thanks. The local game stores I've seen have none either... It would be cheaper for me to order off Amazon UK and pay the shipping fee! No idea why Nintendo of Canada isn't keeping this game in stock at least on their own store.
I've been wanting to get XC2 for a while now, but Nintendo seems to has stopped shipments of retail versions and I don't want it digitally... I want to support Monolith Soft, and not buy a used copy. I thought for sure they'd make an other print run when Pyra and Mythra were annoucement for SSBU. sigh
@moodycat I'd recommend them both, they are both great games and feel closer to RE4 then RE5 in gameplay. I personally prefer RE Rev as the ship chapters feel like RE4 with RE1 atmosphere (the ship setting gives off a great Spencer Mansion feel of claustrophobia). But Raid mode in RE Rev 2 is definitely the better of the two.
@Pirate1 As many have mentioned to you, REmake and RE4 are just absolutely fantastic, you can't go wrong with either, just be aware of the old school tank controls in REmake reducing your freedom of movement and aim, but the tension in that game is fantastic.
@Savino Now that you mention that, I had never thought of Castlevania. Testing the waters would make sense. Hopefully it's good enough and popular enough to give Capcom incentive to continue it.
Disappointed to here it's only 4 episodes of 25-30 minutes.... Why is this a series and not just a movie? Since it's a "series" I wanted it to be longer than a movie. Regardless I will watch it and I'm sure I'll enjoy it, I've enjoy all the previous animated movies.

Re: Nintendo Introduces Chloe In Fire Emblem Engage
