Nope. And it's not a Switch. It doesn't Switch. It's not a hybrid. And this was the announcement trailer, so not new.

@ThanosReXXX I interviewed the developer at Tokyo Game Show - It's was Cosmos Defenders. After checking their blog, it appears that changes to the game and the addition of a new graphic designer have led to a rebranding/title change to Cosmic Defenders. Sadly, they have no new media representing the changes or the new branding.

@electrolite77 not even remotely true. Doing stress tests without actually viewing what's going on inside and tracking the wear vs a Joy Con of eary run tells yoi far more that copying and pasting some dude opening ine and scraping it with a pointy stick. It's called journalism and research. If they just took it apart, yes. But that's not at all what I'm saying. Spawn Wave stopped short of any real research. It's just opening it up. And there was more that could have been described. I had questions about the build. NL could have done a far more thorough play by play, far more in depth and then done stress tests involving opening them up to track wear and tear of each and compare. THAT would be useful, insteas of just shugging and copying and pasting.

@electrolite77 because then it wouldn't be 3rd hand heresay and would be far more informative and easier to describe, discuss and perform specific exploration instead of regurgitating and interpreting the words of others. And what about doing actual stress tests instead of scraping with a sharp object? Do real world wear and tear and track the effects. That is why.

Hmmm... here's a crazy thought. How about taking one apart yourselves (down to the bone) and reporting on this 1st hand? And in great detail?

@Moroboshi876 this is the site and article... https://www.rpgsite.net/feature/8611-grandia-hd-collection-meeting-with-gungho-at-e3-2019-and-hands-on-impressions

@Moroboshi876 '"We want to be clear, the GRANDIA HD Collection are not ports of the original PlayStation games, they are remasters. We are using the original PlayStation code of GRANDIA, but working with the Sega Saturn version to craft the definitive version of this beloved RPG."

After we asked if GungHo could offer more clarification, GungHo replied:

The team is primarily using the Saturn version as a reference point, working to match details and effects from that version of the game.'

@brandonbwii from an interview in another site (at E3): 'Finally, I asked Mr. Minagawa if a Grandia III HD Remaster could be a future possibility. "I cannot say," he replied. "The history with Grandia III is so complicated - who distributed it, who published it, who actually has the rights. If you really want to ask that question, you'd have to go ask Game Arts first."

@joey302 they said unequivocally, absolutely not. Digital only. Same w the PC releases.

@brandonbwii I mean, the Saturn version it never left Japan, so I'm not sure which you're referring to. If you mean a fan translation, I would imagine so. If you mean the SONY localization for the PS1, probably. It was really the only glaring issue w the game, outside of minor framerate and visual effects issues vs the superior Saturn version. Well, that and the voice acting. Can't imagine it wouldn't be updated. I've read that it will include both Japanese and English soundtracks and language. And German and French, which I don't believe the original ports had. So I think there's a decent chance it's been updated.

@KayFiOS yup. It was shady to announce that there would be none, then pull this crap. If they were honest up front, that would be different. I have a stack of shame a mile high. I already don't need another game. They made it easy to say no.

This is so insanely ignorant. Absolutely ridiculous. There is nothing about the materials or construct that makes it worth anywhere near $500. It's obscene, really.

@Galarian_Lassie So this does bother me. While they are offering a lot of free content going forward (which is awesome), I really wish they hadn't lied about microtransactions.

If they had updated everyone before launch that this would be a thing, not effect gameplay and then not throttle coins in-game, I'd have no problem with it. It's optional and doesn't give players any gameplay advantage. And they make a little money. No big deal.

But to state up front that there wouldn't be any, period... and now this after people have already purchased the game and have experienced slow coin collecting. That's shady.

@Cosats I known it won't happen... but Tetrisphere on the Switch.

Want. Now.

Whelp... Bethesda just saved me a bunch of money. Shady bullcrap. No thanks.

@Luna_110 pick up a Retrotink 2X. $50 less, does the same job only done right and has more options/functionality. It's a stand alone device and you can use it with other systems too.

I'm sorry, but get the hell out of here with that $150 price tag. What the actual hell? I can't wait for someone to break out/source the component prices so we know how much this costs to manufacture. $150... get bent. Just pick up a Retrotink 2X for $50 less... a bit of tech that actually does this right and has more functionality. Or at that price point, learn how to/get some help with the proper mod that does go right to the digital signal before it's converted to analogue for output. Then you get real 480.

@Magician why assume Snatcher won't be translated? It has already been localized.

This is absolute bs. Another month of complete crap. Meanwhile, I might pay more for my other online services, but I get pretty amazing games for my money. AND specials, sales and discounts... some of which have been pretty damn good. AND proper grown up communications. Nintendo should be embarrassed... but they won't be. They're far too arrogant.

@impurekind I got SF at launch and played for about a week w the 3 button. It was not at all fun. And yes... people are annoyed. And they should be. There are at least 4 games that use the 6 button on the mini so far. And even for those that don't, the 6 button is a far superior build with better grip and feel and better d-pad. So regardless of how much you enjoy the hobbled gameplay of SF on the 3 button, we are in all regards getting the inferior gamepad... and SEGA hasn't bothered to give their reasoning for screwing everyone outside of Japan. Why even create additional tooling/production line for the 3 button when the 6 button is already a thing? It makes no sense.

@impurekind So, that's not a fact... and is wildly inaccurate. Playing with the 3 button is not fine. It's not even good.

It's also worth noting that by my count, there are already at least 4 games on the mini that use the 6-button functionality to some degree; Street Fighter, Beyond Oasis, Comix Zone and Contra: Hard Corps. Everything else could benefit from the superior pad. Come on SEGA. Wth?

Yeah. 3 button controller for outside of Japan is a real bad move. 6 button was better in every way possible and now with a SF game on board, it's worse. If the 6 button wasn't a thing at all, it's just a misstep. But with Japan being the only region getting it, it's a deliberate meanie move... probably to set up sales of the 'official' 6 button later. Just couldn't make it a perfect offering, could you SEGA. Had to f it up a little for tradition/old time's sake.

Ridiculous, stupid, sad, pathetic. So many people in actual need and this is what passes for charity... this is where time and energy is spent. Kinda sickening. Reggie is sitting on a throne of cash after floating down on a 'golden umbrella'. How about a donation in his name to one of the many groups who use video games to fundraise for great causes?

@Frank90 exactly. It's every bad 'fish out of water/visitor from another world' summer blockbuster cliche that has every been... badly acted with crap character design... rolled into one.

@Nerdfather1 no. It is that bad. And I don't know how anyone can watch that cliched, trope ridden, badly written joke of a trailer with mangled Sonic and call that phoned in crap 'artistic vision'...

Great. Super. Nice to see S9nic finally getting the Super Mario Bros treatment.

No. No it isn't.

@NintendoByNature This was my second year. I live in Rock county, so it's about an hour and a half... totally worth it. I come for the weekend and get the VIG Badge (Which this year was an actually working NES cartridge with a game created just for the show) which gives you Friday preview access, Saturday and Sunday and the after party. At the after party I got to meet and hang with Ernie Hudson, Daniel Pessina (He is the actor who played Johnny Cage, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Reptile, Smoke, and Noob Saibot and helped create Mortal Kombat & Mortal Kombat II), Philip Ahn (Shang Tsung), Anthony Marquez (Kung Lao). Howard Lincoln was at the show. At the after party, we got to play the Nintendo Playstation! So much more and so worth the price of entry. We danced and did karaoke/lip sync with Anthony Marquez. Johnny Gioeli of Crush 40 performed music they had written for some of the Sonic games. So much fun.

We have the Switch, Wii, Wii U, SNES Classic, NES Classic, Genesis Mini, Mega Sg and all of it's SEGA system adaptors, Super Nt, a plethora of emulator systems and more on the way, Raspberry PIs... and even the Playstation classic to load up. PSPs and Vitas loaded with roms and emulators, DSs and 3DSs ready to load up... and this is a good idea? And a true rival? What an absolute joke. And that goes for this 'news' piece as well.

Thanks for the click bait crap article. Good times.

@Shiryu more like it could be done, they either don't have the resources or don't feel it's worth devoting the resources for a native Switch build.

Things are only looking up if you ignore the fact that even with multiple updates, it's a futurist racer that can't even hit 30fps. No thanks.

Most 3rd party 'exclusives' are timed anyway. The window of exclusivity a) served its purpose and hyped the system and helped it fill a niche (jrpgs) early on and 2) still seems to include other consoles. A PC release has no impact on the Switch's image or sales of the game, let alone a Korean release. The only reason I can see this being up in article form is that it was a really slow news day.

Wow. This is... super. And by super, I mean painfully mediocre at best.

Sub 30fps is a joke, especially when games like Fast RMX hit 60fps @1080p and kicks ass in both the gameplay and graphics department. This is a dishonest and possibly actionable illegal advertising/business practice; it's an outright lie of a video. I don't know how anyone here is praising them for double patching a game that then still doesn't even hit 30fps in 2019. They knew what they were doing when they put that video up. This is crap. There are so many great games and honest developers on this system that giving these ppl money is a damn shame.

@MaSSiVeRiCaN That's the only reason I'm even contemplating a purchase, although tbh I really want 4 most of all (But not at that price). I have until mid-April to use my Gamer's Club and I want to get the most out of it.

From E3 2018? Slow news day? Why not do some leg work and get a current quote? One from after the world had learned about the best selling status of the system... instead of a quote from almost a year ago. This is piss poor journalism and a bit clickbait-y

How absolutely hilarious to hear people complain about too much pixel art and yet I'd wager decent money that many are the same people who asked on the regular for Virtual console games.

@mince0 Welp, you'd be wrong. I actual met the developers a while back, interviewed half of the husband and wife team (talked with the other off camera) and got to play a lot of their game. After spending time with both the game and the developers (learning of its genesis and the influences for the game) I can tell you that if you are a fan of games like Animal Crossing or even better, a Harvest Moon aficionado, an 8 out of 10 is definitely deserved. If you're not a fan of either or the genre, this game may not feel like 8/10.

@KoopaTheGamer Lol. Ok. I guess we value things differently. Especially when so many people already own these games in one form or another.

@3rdParty I get pretty awesome free games from the other companies. The games are a far better value. They really are. Far better than the triple/quadruple dip offerings that Nintendo is foisting on people who have already purchased them... and then patting themselves on the back for offering as a perk. Also, Nintendo has cloud saves behind a paywall. That's just greedy and ignorant and anti-consumer.

@Slim1999 So... I'm going to help you out here. Unless you have a time machine, literally everything you said is NOT a fact... including the whole 'everything sucks at 1st' opinion that you have.

O.P.I.N.I.O.N.

On a side note - how's that grammar/literacy thing working out for you though?

Little to no one cares...

What a joke. Lame online service, meet lame perks for lame online service.

@Snow-Dust If it's just a local business, I'd negotiate. Up to a certain amount of profit, I'd let them make their money. Past that, I'd ask for a percentage. I'd let them continue provided they clean up their business practices and require proof at regular intervals. Also, I'd require them to post the nature of business relationship. And if whatever game I produced gets me Nintendo sized paydays, I wouldn't begrudge someone making a buck.

@FTL I don't believe for one minute that Nintendo is at any legal risk. It would get thrown out of court before anyone could be seated if anyone was that stupid. Make them post everywhere and make it part of the contract that they are in no way affiliated with Nintendo. Problem solved.

@Smash_kirby If it's that bad, locals hate it so much and it poses this insane threat to public safety, why hasn't it been shut down?

@Mrtoad (racism/traffic problems)

Um... ok. Yeah. Totally the same.

@Aozz101x There are always crashes where go karts are concerned. Better regulated maybe? This is more of a matter for police/local authorities. If they are really that bad, they should/would be shut down. When I was there a few weeks ago, I couldn't ride because I didn't have an 'international driver's license' (a bit of a scam on the part of people like AAA, who is authorized to issue them... for a fee).

@roboshort Oh lord. Yup. Let me break out the violin for them.

@Mrtoad How in the actual hell is that even an equitable comparison?

@brutalpanda Nowhere near as big as a theme park, but still ajnsksksjsnmove. Why not just ask for a piece of the action? Why destroy a business? Or better yet... knowing what couch change they make compared to Nintendo-sized profits, why not just leave them the hell alone? Greed is ugly.
