@Pillowpants Same, i totally love my themed NS1 controllers (i've Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Monster Hunter Rise and Tears of the Kingdom). I cant wait to see what they'll bring this time.

Also, looking forward to some themed OLED Switch2 (because, let's face it, it's coming at some point)

I think switch 2 feels amazing and I'm really glad I got one.
^ The bigger size really works
^ The vent smell
^ Can play all i need to catch up from NS1
^ UI feels way better. You can't exactly put a finger on it, but there are dozens of tiny improvements here and there

• I don't see myself using mouse feature alot, but then again I usually go handheld anyways.
  v No OLED That one is a bummer. I was hoping for better contrasts and colors, alas, I'll probably get used to it. Still, i'll upgrade to OLED version when it comes. I'll likely wait for some neat themed variant though.

Id rather see some legend of zelda sets myswlf instead. Although im glad for all the animal crossing and mario fans out there

I bought switch 1 early on and did not regret it a single day. Now i placed preordet to get switch 2 on day 1

While FE3H had an amazing soundtrack (and i did import CD set myself), with FEE, i don't really find the score that memorable. I did consider preordering it at some point, but decided it was just not worth it.

Still, if someone is of a different opinion this might be quite a treat for them, obviously

@Exerion76 If people consider something worth it, they buy it. Where's the problem exactly? Some people want their consoles to look cool and they have means to get what they want, so they go for it. Nothing gullible or stupid about it.

That being said I don't see that much appeal with Mario, it looks very plain imho, then again, sales numbers clearly show that there are many people that like it, and that's all cool with me. I used to have Splatoon switch (which sadly broke down) and now I've Pokemon oled switch and both look rad to me

They are on their way to me already <3

I loved the game. Sequel would be day 1 purchase for me. As for missing dialogues i did not notice any but it might be due to playing in Japanese

I love how they scrapped all the previous powers and gave new ones. So many things are different now. And all allows for no much creativity. I loved first time I saw wing. So many things I’ve tried. Masterpiece

As much as i want to play it, now i also kinda want to postpone playing until pyra/mythra amiibo's out

Dont care, won’t watch. I’m already as hyped as it gets and have CE on preorder. I wanna experience stuff in game

1. splatoon 3 oled
2. Sword/shield lite
3. Everything else

I did not play splatoon (im more of a singleplayer guy) but I bought this because it’s just gorgeous

I've Divine Edition preordered!

@NEMO86 having collected statues - at this size the price does not shock tbh

I have CE arriving today

@ThisisJosh Exactly my point

@Shambo I dont understand why people think its cool either. I do understand, however, that different people have different views and opinions and i dont have to understand all of it. Its enough to just accept it. They are not spoiling my fun in any way.

That sounds like a terrible idea that's going to kill CE sales, sadly

That'll be a great match with the Magnamalo pro controller

Im partially happy (because i totally am going to play XC3), but also part unhappy, because there are like 3 big games coming out on the same day now (XC3, MH:S and AI:2).

Darn, part of me is happy that the release is going to be sooner than expected, my wallet, however is crying. I already preordered Ai Somnium Files 2 collectors edition, i was going to hunt for CE MH Sunbreak and since i have CE for both XC1 and XC2, the CE for XC3 is also something i would love to get

I have game pass and I’m very happy with it

@a1904 Pretty much, yeah, that's how it works for any major companies competing for a market, such as Epic Games with their store and weekly free games

@a1904 That's simply not true. If you skip money on publishers, and Microsoft is doing just that by buying out studios, the costs go lower. There's also a fact that there are constant costs and costs that depend on number of subscribers. So the more users GP has, the cheaper per person it gets to provide the service. It certainly is sustainable. Moreso, since MS did actually decide to abandon the idea of platforms. It's getting easier and easier to play GP on phone, PC or whatever platform you want. GP is actually a great move from the point of view of the company future proofing. IMHO Sony already lost that race, they did it long ago actually by not supporting their own products - handheld market was given away to Nintendo, smartphones to samsung and apple, heck, even PS now never even tried coming to my country (in the middle of europe).

Nintendo, imho, is not going to outright lose to Microsoft, Nintendo is kinda playing a different game them MS/Sony, but whether we want it or not, the physical releases are going to go away sooner or later. mayube not completely, but to a great degree, much like music and movies have went away from physical media

JP voices are the way to me.

@Savino "Sid you guys knew that african people are being stopped tp flee Ukraine on the borders?"

That's yet another piece of misinformation. They are not being stopped at UA-PL border, despite information about it surfacing here and there.

@Savino I don't know where is this picture from, but he is a jew, so i highly doubt he's confirmed to be a nazi and/or fascist.

@Paraka That's true that this response is greater than ever before, including previous Crimea incident. Europe, and its leaders were always pushing for diplomatic response, which was simply not enough and now we see the effects of it. I deeply believe, however, that now we are past the turning point. EU has seen that just voicing outrage is not enough, that not standing up to aggression leads to escalation, even if not right away, then in few years time. It's seen exactly because russia has proved that these voices mean nothing to oppressors. It's because of this we are now facing a thread of 3rd world war, which is very likely to happen if any of NATO countries get involved, or China. On top of it all, we are all shown what a true leader is, and I mean the President of Ukraine Zelenskyy - the guy who is not afraid to stand up for his people, even when greatly outnumbered. Who did not abandon his people, even knowing its a huge risk for his own life. The world is changing

I live in Poland (we share a border with Ukraine) and work as a game developer and I can tell you that the situation here is very stressful (obviously, nothing compared to Ukraine itself). These people need our help. Many people of my country are using their own resources to help, we buy food, supplies, many people use their own cars to get Ukrainians to safety. Many companies are donating to humanitarian aid as well. It is a time of great trial to whole Europe and, quite likely, the world itself.

O got mine yesterday (I pre-ordered physical,.as I always do.with ateliers) . It's nostalgic to me as Sophie was my entry point my into the series

This has attracted my attention due to majority of OST being made by Virtual Witch Phenomenon Must buy for me

I did buy MHS2 and i completed it, but it was more because i did not want to miss out on a story. I did not find the gameplay engaging and the game felt very repetitive

As with each game in the series - I cant wait

@shinynewbicycles - hmm, i've played Lulua which was 4th game in the Arlandseries, and enjoyed it enough to try the rest of the Arland atelier's. Now, Sophie 2 is chronologically 2nd game in Mysterious series. So my best judgement is that you can jump into it and are likely to enjoy it. You'll get much more references if you try Sophie, though, but Firis and Lydie&Suelle (sequels) are not necessary at all

@Bass_X0 I gave it another shot few months after it and played till the end. It was an okay game albeit not much more than that. Just my personal opinion though

@Heavyarms55 book copyright last for 20years or so if I remember correctly. After enough time has passed they go onto public domain

Really good game, imho, even though im not really into metroidvanias

Heck, that b&w picture worried me for a second there...

I was in my 20s when TES IV was released and i remember vividly playing it at ~20fps with 10m draw distance (yes, my PC was bad at a time) so I can handle low framerates. However, I do not like low framerates I consider stable 30fps a bare minimum and anything lower gets hard to watch and play. And as much as I consider BotW one of the best (if not THE BEST) game of all times, it still pains me to know the framerates in the Hyrule Forest, it was pretty much unplayable. I love how 60fps feels, but I it's not something i need.

@the_beaver of you did not play it yet then I HIGHLY recommend it. It's a must-play imho.

@sanderev Sorry, but i wholeheartedly do not agree with your stance. Games and hardware go hand in hand. XBox gamers, PS gamers, Nintendo gamers and PC gamers are all actually gamers and saying that group X or Y play boring games with just a fresh coat of paint is offensive. We all like to play games! That's it! You may not like certain games and someone else may not like the games you do, but that does not mean your games are better, it means people are different and like different things. Now, nintendo lives in its own bubble, and that's fine. They do keep their (awesome) major IPs close and dont let them out onto other platforms (perfectly fine), but many 3rd party games a) require lots of extra work from devs to optimize, and that may be a deterrent for devs, or they look worse due to weaker hardware or run less than 30fps, and that makes it worse for end user. And people these days are used to something better (and that's fine too). We have games running 60fps as current standard and heck, my phone can run some games with 144Hz (and has power to match that). And when i go back to play on my switch (which i love), i see the difference and i can imagine that for someone else that difference will result in a "i dont want to play on switch at all" choice

Id add Nier to the list. Great game which I'd gladly go for 100% completion given the portable treatment

Being a gamedev and a programmer I really doubt it's impossible, MH just stores some basic info (inventory, exp, statistics) and these are just numbers. Capcom would need to dip on servers to hold that data, tho.

EDIT: Calrification: Actually all the saved data in any game are just numbers, but if we don't have to save position of player, enemies, map state, then there's just much less of that data.

Now that's unexpected. Glad to go back to mysterious tho . Also does it mean no ryza 3 next year?

I suddenly feel young again!

Marvelous and amazing!

@tanaka2687 you know, I wouldn't necessarily even call it simplistic storytelling. Tje story just is not grand, it's kinda slice-of-life's and mostly about personal development of the heroines. It's as simple as "there is a threat/dangerous plot and I have to bring peace back to the world" or maybe even less imho

@BizarreJelly28980 nah. Each atelier trilogy is self contained

Oh boi, and my MHR (CE) is arriving today

@rjejr Expecting actual 4k resolution is bonkers. ANY game, including PC currently uses AI-based upscaling at best for 4K. In case of switch it would surely mean that the video output is somehow upscaled and output as 4k, which would provide better and more consistent result as opposed to TV-side upscaling
