I honestly believe that there's going to be two games in this package. One a faithful remaster of Links Awakening and then some kinda overhead multi player Zelda adventure like that Tri Force Heroes for the 3DS, maybe just a remaster of that

My 9 year old insisted this what he spent his birthday money on. I did explain the concert of buyers remorse to him first but he stands by his decision. It's given him lots of fun and giggles. I've had a few too.

I don't know much about the source for this rumour but it sounds very click bait to me...

Well, as I guess its something aimed not at me but at my kids, so I want it to be cheap and durable. Tough glass screen that you can easily wipe clean. A way of sharing my downloaded purchases with it would be handy too.

Urban Fighter HD

We bought it and it is gentle entertainment. A relaxing diversion, bereft of challenges. Even my eight year old son commented on how easy it is. It was like they were afraid of asking any sort of effort from the player

It's not an RPG in the slightest it's a game where you just mindlessly tap your screen. Tap to walk here. Tap to fight. Tappy tap tap tappety. Oh and the game downloads bit by bit. Tap 80 times then wait for next level to download. Fair play to Nintendo for making a ton of cash out of it but as I'm a gamer not a shareholder I couldn't care less. Smartphone touchscreens are no substitute for a controller. The only smartphone game that has impressed me so far is Pokemon Go because it really is a game that was made for a smartphone with a touchscreen. It embraces the medium rather than awkwardly adapting to it. I've downloaded so many games to my phones over the years and it's the only one I haven't deleted.

@Heavyarms55 I read something on this site a couple of years ago in which an indie Dev talked quite candidly about all the work that had to be done to release a game on eShop. For instance, in Europe they have multiple counties legislation to meet. Basically, you wouldn't just dump a game on there, you had to be sure it would sell pretty well or you'd lose money. For that you need good publicity and they know that ain't on the table!

People are quick to throw politics in there but this is a business decision and all the studio cares about is money. Which means Western sales haven't been worth the paperwork. Cheer up, the Switch isn't region locked

@Knuckles-Fajita if this was EA they would just release it anyway next month without proper testing. And all the equipment upgrades would have to be purchased from loot boxes.

Seriously, though, how refreshing to see software developers be so honest and so commited to quality. I am always of the opinion that a great late game beats a punctual bad one.

@TAndvig I cant help feeling you've not understood the story or my comment. It doesn't bother me personally but I remember the first time a Japanese prime minister visited the shrine, protestors in Korea publicly severed their own pinkie fingers. Some bad things went down during WWII and there are still some serious grudges held. It really isnt impossible to imagine war between Japan and China or Korea again. I think you're confusing this with "political correctness" and that's a bad analogy. This about history and regional tensions, not people getting offended about big boobs in JRPGs.

It's one thing for people to visit as individuals in their spare time but for a corporate entity with an international consumer base is very poor judgement.

X is a good game but it badly needed a skip cut scene button. Theres one over five minutes long right before a difficult boss battle. Grrr!

Yeah, that is just insane. I have young kids and I would have no problem with them seeing this advert.

It's a shame but always important to put quality first

I can't say enough good things about Tokyo Mirage Sessions

It's much better value than the three seperate volumes XBox and PS4 users were sold. Pretty sure they're about $30 each at Target

$4? Be mad not to

Loving the Smash but I keep stopping for Katamari breaks.

I'd they keep those lovely low prices then I will triple dip

Nice to see Switch on the list but really haven't e enjoyed the more recent MK games. For some reason they feel less fun with better graphics.

Boy, kinda wondering why I bothered getting an NES Mini now

When the story broke I assumed he'd be history. To learn two days later that he isn't and that NOE were already aware of his behaviour is really disappointing

I had the original on a £10 compilation. Think it had about 6 or 7 games on it. That's the right price for such an average, awkward, aged game. I lived on my 8-bit computer back in the day but nearly all those games have aged badly

Played it for about an hour then got bored of it and I did love Journey. Beautiful looking but not enough substance

My kids love it but the subscription model is gross. I already gave you my cash, you damn vampires, now you want a cut of all my pay cheques?

Good gosh! I had it for the Amstrad CPC on a compilation of games from the same studio. All of them looked like Spectrum games but there was some memorable stuff on there but pretty sure this wasn't one of them. The sequel where you play the ninja's sister was better

While you could easily just play this as a standalone game, there are two things you would miss out on. One, knowing the ultimate fate of the main characters adds a darker nuance to the story. Two, this game doesn't really scene-set the world. I think if you started here you'd be wondering what Blades, Titans and cores are.

It is absolutely stunning though. I'd already played the main game twice and clocked up many extra hours trying to get all the blades. This really isn't DLC, it's a newer but smaller game with many refinements and improvements.

Ha, these guys show know how to drive publicity through a good press release. It's just made up to get them attention. Don't feed the PR troll, folks

No - it encourages lazy reading. Nice Moby reference, by the way

I'd love them to do the Rebirth series

YEEEEES! YEEEEES! YEEEEES!

I was a little surprised by it. Slaughtered with a scythe by a terrifying reaper didn't seem to fit the character but Smash Bros is all about the crossover

Hey, so is this included with the dlc pack I bought or is it another pay out?

Day one

My kids are so excited for this game but if it's going to crash on them, I don't think I'll bother. If Ubisoft fix it then they can have my money.

Yeah, I saw the cover and thought it was some guitar hero rip off rhythm game. Now I find out its about as far removed as you can get from that so, yeah, thanks for the tip, I am gonna have to try it

Surely an assist trophy

'Banned' is the wrong word. The people doing the Western release just said "er, no thanks" like they did for the episode where the guys got boobs. Its just a business decision.

Yes, please X 3

Shulk and Fiora added as rare blades!!!!

Very poor behaviour from Sony. They need to cut that out.

I have a Pro Controller for myself and one of these wired ones for my kids. They really do feel just the same except lighter.

@Eddyson I suddenly got Kos-Mos and Azamj back to back. So now I just need Zenobia and Delilah from the 'proper' blades but as I'm on a new game+ there's also all those other blades to get, think I only have about two of those!

@Eddyson oh, you're quite right. How could I forget her? I guess she just doesn't look like a Herald. On a brighter note,got two new blades tonight back to back off rare crystals. Only two of the original blades left to get..

Arrrggghhhhhhh! I don't have Zenobia OR Herald

YES! I adore Tin Man's approach to the books, modern but faithful and very playable. Someone else adapted this book in a top down rpg style and lost all the magic. This will be a day one for me

I'd love it to be true but sounds a bit wish-fulfilment to me. I doubt there's anything to datamine and it'll all come down in a future update.

I always said they would.

oh-kaaaaay. So blonde Poppi is just a remote controlled Poppi controlled by the original Poppi but she sits inside the Poppibuster which is sentient with a mind of its own. So, a mindless, remote controlled pilot of an intelligent vehicle? Makes no sense but it does look cool,
