Trails in the Sky Remake S2 edition and Days Gone Remastered for PS5.

Or I wouldn’t mind S2 remasters of the Xenosaga trilogy.

@GrailUK This is all I want

Please something Monolith. For god sakes at least S2 updates for the trilogy and X.

I’m sure it’s a decent lineup for a lot of people but poor for me personally. I’ve already played all the ports on other systems at cheaper price and better performance. The keycard thing then kills any potential interest in double dipping. The first party is okay I guess but I’m personally not into MK, DK, or Kirby. I was really hoping for some S2 upgrades / games from Monolith but I’m sure it will come in time I guess.

@wushuwannabe This time it has VA, of course you gotta play again!

Trails in the Sky and Tactics will keep me busy. Although I’m still waiting for something to make me feel like getting the Switch 2 at this point was worthwhile.

Really wish this was $60 instead of $70. I’d buy the physical right now. But the $70 price has just enough psychological effect on me where I’ll instead just wait for a sale.

Even the lack of S2 patches to existing S1 games is surprising. I would have thought there’d be hundreds of S1 games at least patched for S2 performance by now. Especially first party games. I hope a direct will happen soon and reinvigorate my waning enthusiasm.

Was hoping Nintendo would have at least provided more of a roadmap for the upcoming months and years. The lack of Switch 2 content is very noticeable.

I can only speak for myself but I have not bought S2 games that I otherwise would have because:

1) I do not want key cards.
2) Games are priced very high.

In that order.

I’m super hopeful for the Xbox Ally given the specs, full Xbox OS integration to compete with Steam OS, ability to play all PC games from any launcher. The price right now will ensure this doesn’t become mainstream in the short run but this could be a major disruption to Nintendo a few years time.

It will be very interesting to start seeing sales data on these key cards and how the format will fare with consumers. I myself and others I know are not buying any Day 1 Switch 2 games because of the key card format. I would have gladly bought Radiou, Bravely, and Yakuza if full physical. Maybe I’ll have to get on board if the market drags me there but for now I’m holding the line.

I’ve got a Switch 2 preordered and pretty excited to see what it can do in terms of better performance for the Switch 1 library of games I’ve amassed. Not too excited yet about the Switch 2 library but I’m sure that will change eventually.

@FX102A Raidou was going to be my first S2 preorder but I just don’t care enough about a key card to bother.

This business model effectively turns physical games into just long term rentals.

This just shows it’s not about the cost, it’s about controls on access post purchase.

I kind of wish these remake / remasters were done more like Silver Star Harmony for the PSP. That remake was proper AF.

@Hanabi99 If you liked dragon song you will love silver star story. DS is a demake of it and a widely panned demake at that. SSS is one of JRPG legends and the story, characters, music, atmosphere are all wonderfully lighthearted yet gripping. I’ve never played EB (Part 2) but I’ve heard it’s great too.

I have a feeling if this is legit it’s meant to launch with the new Smash Bros, not necessarily for GC on NSO. Maybe the new Smash has some strong connection to the GC Smash.

Got it preordered. This is the only XC I’ve never played and / or beaten since it’s been trapped on Wii U. The three mainline XC are some of my favorite JRPGs of all time. Can’t wait to try on X.

Slightly off topic but I really wish Nintendo would bring back the soothing whimsical atmosphere of using the platform. Some great atmospheric jazzy background music, some artistic expression in the UI, anything to make the experience of just using the system feel more alive and less sterile.

I personally hope release of S2 is asap. S1 used to be my primary platform but lately find myself playing more on ROG Ally. S1 starting to feel very antiquated and really only use it for Nintendo exclusives, which I’ve already played through with the exception of XCX coming out next month.

Larger cases are good for packing in Launch Edition / Deluxe swag though. Other than that, yeah typically lot of empty real estate.

I’m not really sure why this feature would be exciting. Sounds like it would be less comfortable and practical for gaming.

Switch 2 would work. Most important thing for successful adoption is regular consumer understanding this is a next-gen Switch.

I really wish Nintendo would just announce it already. All these half-baked leaks are really starting to deflate the mystery and excitement.

This is amazing. Had no idea this was in the works. Two classics every JRPG fan needs even if for just historical purposes.

I thought it was supposed to have dual screens as of just a week ago?

Something new and spectacular from Monolith Soft.

This is probably meant to push existing Switch sales for the holiday season. Probably an indication that Switch 2 isn’t launching until after the holidays.

Still would like the first Blue Reflection, Trails in the Sky trilogy, Vagrant Story HD, and Xenogears HD.

Love the option to turn up the graphics or turn up the frames. Wish this was available on more Switch games.

Hope the OLED screen rumor is true. Definitely helps games feel next-gen.

I feel fortunate to be in a position to not have to pirate. I’m happy to support the developers and the artists who make such great games. Having said that, I personally don’t care if someone of lesser means pirates games they couldn’t otherwise afford. There’s some truly amazing games out there on par with artwork that everyone should get to experience regardless of financial status.

Not for nothing, but like 80% of the eShop games are shovelware bullocks.

Man at this point I would just love to see a next-gen remake or new mainline of Mother IP before I die.

Can confirm Amazon US has tons of old Amiibo restocked; just scored the Noah / Mio and Pyra / Mythra.

Sorry, but it will be Granblue Fantasy Relink on the PS5 Portal.

Ty for the heads-up, Nintendo Life. Just preordered the exclusive physical edition. Been wanting to play this game forever but I’m not down with digital-only.

Love Vanillaware and really looking forward to this new IP; definitely will buy standard version. Kinda pricey for the collector’s edition though, given the contents.

So awesome to finally see Sega realize the incredible dormant IP they’re sitting on. Remasters, remakes, or full on new entries for Phantasy Star and Shining Force are my dream.

This is the worst article I’ve ever read on this site. What a load of rubbish. This author should be reprimanded.

Continuing my first play through of Star Ocean First Departure R in preparation for the release of Second Story R.

@johnedwin God I would love if they ported the PS2 generation version of Phantasy Star I & II to switch, and remade III & IV in the same way for switch.

I sold / lost all of my childhood collection of SNES, N64, and NES games mint CIB. I’ve spent the last 5 or so years of my adult life trying to collect it all back.

Trying to make some progress in FFXVI, Trails in the Sky, and Ys VIII. So little time, so many games…

Maybe I’m an outlier, but my dream for a Switch successor is a more powerful, Switch 3D. I loved the New 3DS system and would love to see 3D implemented into modern Switch titles.
