I can't see this being related to Animal Crossing.
Nintendo still has plenty of games coming out. It's not like delaying Animal Crossing will leave them without anything to sell. And Pokemon would beat AC in sales as a holiday exclusive 10 times out of 10. This seems to me more like a group of investors that were hoping for a large increase in revenue from a new console to sell
Looks good. For a game based on classic RPGs, it seems like they're trying to do a lot more with the concept than just pixel art & turn based battles and calling it a day. I'll be keeping an eye on how this one turns out
I got the Deluxe Edition on sale for about $30 bucks. I think the game is worth more, though, and will gladly support the hard work of the developers with a paltry additional $12 for some brand new quality content. Seems like the game underperformed in Ubi's eyes too, so I view buying paid DLC as a personal vote for them to allow this cool new IP to continue on into the future
@Dromosus I noticed that too. My thought was that perhaps we are finally seeing games that were designed specifically with the Switch's capabilities in mind start to come to completion
You know, so many companies are releasing these "Classics Collections" these days. It makes me wonder if Virtual Console was nixed by these other company's plans to get into the nostalgia business
@60frames-please it's got a great launch sale going on right now. 30% off until Thursday. Now might be one of the best times to pick it up if you're interested
Let's not forget that Nintendo resurrecting a canceled game series is still just a rumor as well. Everyone is acting like that's a certifiable fact now and the only thing left to confirm is which game is being revived
How about you guys get out there and do some actual journalism and try to verify or disprove these rumors. Or better yet, go find your own rumors to report on. I'm kind of sick of seeing the latest unsubstantiated tweet dominate the headlines of supposedly reputable gaming sites.
@GhostGarrity if that's the case then the review aspect of these features would be a little pointless. If only good games have been chosen, just lead with that and let us know from the get go. They don't need to tell us after each one that it also got a thumbs up
It's painfully obvious how this will all end. The final piece of art is a character that is NOT realistic, but instead slightly more cartoony than usually seen. It is KRATOS, followed by his Smash Bros character reveal trailer!!
Never once in watching the trailers did I feel like this game resembled either Mario Odyssey or Yooka Laylee, nor did it seem like a game that was trying to resemble them. Are those games really the best measuring stick to use for this game?
