It's hard to always strike a balance; if you have to grind too much just to progress it definitely can feel like a chore, but inversely, like in SotN for me, I leveled up so much over the course of the game (wanted to find everything afterall) that the second half felt too easy.

Being able to adjust things on the fly is always a thing that would be nice to see considered, like the encounter toggle mentioned in the article.

'Oh, we highly value your input... until you sign the deal!'

Moderation is key, in all things not just gaming. Water intoxication proves as much.

Perfectly cromulent article.

Played my fill of 3D World back on the Wii U so I'll hold back now, despite how nice Fury looks so far.

It's the variety of a full fat Nintendo Direct that really appeals to me; among the myriad of titles shown chances are that there will be something for everyone.

These singular or more targeted broadcasts are practically non-announcements if you're not a fan of the game being shown, and so that poor soul must wait even longer for news.

In the same manner a mediocre title like Bakugan probably wouldn't have garnered such a massive backlash if it had been featured alongside other, more palatable, games.

Utterly gorgeous artwork.

Someone forgot to leak an 'e' it would seem.

You have to jump through a lot of hoops to unlock all the characters normally (which I did in the Wii U days) so the codes at least allow everyone to play who they want.

There's no logic in comparing F-Zero with Mario Kart.

It would be like Square Enix sidelining Dragon Quest because they have Final Fantasy; despite genre similarities their appeal is far more broad.

Every time this game is updated I die a little inside.

Classic Kamiya. You keep being you my friend.

I would've loved Rogue Galaxy on Switch. Hope this isn't the last we see of Level 5, without me having to employ a translator.

Been playing Horace and Timespinner; really fun games so far. After that I'm finally going to play through Three Houses final route over the Christmas period.

@Dezzy FF6 remade with Octopath Traveller style graphics would sell like 5 million copies easily.

I would buy that Day 1!

Power Stone is, sadly, too good to be true. I'll remain skeptic of this one.

I love Hyper Light Drifter; it's a great game.

Why do these companies always want to do away with the charming aesthetics that made their games remarkable in the first place?

People were happy to play The Witcher 3 on Switch; funny how when they are given a full fat game without a catch they'll happily spend that dosh.

It's humourous all the same watching EA come up with new excuses for why it won't support Switch despite it's large install base.

No Ampharos? Hard pass xD

Guess there's no discussing the Simpsons episode "Marge Simpson in: 'Screaming Yellow Honkers"

Popular company. Check. Limited release. Check. FOMO. Check.

Same thing every time sadly.

I play mostly on the tv and play handheld when other people want to use the telly. So eff off with that rubbish Pachter.

The internet, where meat is never in short supply.

Yeah that's exactly how my dog would react. She might lick the front bumper to get a sense of what it is and then simply ignore it. You gotta love animals.

The demo really made me fall in love with this game. While the delay is unfortunate I'd prefer to play the full game at its best.

I can wait for that.

Find myself having to Wish List everything even semi-interesting else I may not find it again when my wallet is more flush.

At current there's no feasible way to run a wire from the router in the hall and round to where the Switch, and my other systems, are currently without creating a huge mess for the family.

Wireless it shall have to remain for now.

Very Metal Slug-or Goose in this case. Colour me intrigued.

These days it's hard to accept speculation unless backed by hard facts. It's EA though so the thought of it not landing on Switch isn't too much of a surprise. All their ostensible gambling games will still come over though... right?

What happened to just stocking items where retailers will take them?

That's quite massive and really adds more value for any Xbox user that subscribes to Game Pass.

Nice to see your stellar work will continue in another place that I visit frequently. Huzzah!

The announcement of a sequel always put me in the humour to play through the original again. This is no exception.

And now his watch is ended.

If you go in with high expectations, you're gonna have a bad time.

Gravely disappointing is all I'll say.

Cannot wait for Sonic 06 Deluxe XD featuring Funky mode.

Technologically difficult? But you don't mind using Nintendo systems as one stop drops for the occasional game with relevant material to the overall canon, and I use the word 'canon' generously here.

Bad form, bad form.

Been a long time since a core Zelda game launched without some delay. I'll happily wait as long as it takes for this gem to be polished.

Ok, I'm with you fellers.

These variations of the games are sublime and a joy to play. Love the boss music they gave Bowser in this version of the original game.

Seems we are to get one of these articles daily and fight until one of us emerges as king of our floating hell.

So when IS has 'complete creative control' the best they can create are hole punches and staplers instead of actual characters. My oh my.

(And before anyone says, yes I've played the game which is why the hole punch thing really saddens me because the whole disco thing was quite humourous and would have been doubly so if the great dialogue was attached to a fleshed out character and not an office supply.)

I preferred Paper Mario when the paper aspect of the world was an aesthetic and not the philosophy that governs its creation. But given Mr. Tanabe's interviews this is likely what we'll have for now.

Because, reasonably, you're going to eventually hit a wall when you run out of paper gimmicks and there are no more office supplies to turn into characters. I'd be interested to see what kind of Paper Mario you try to make at that point.

15/15: Thank you treasure trove of old magazines, for your years of informative little nuggets.

Ah it happens, it's not that big a deal. I might try it on Game Pass when it comes out.

In the meantime I have to finish SteamWorld Quest and fantasize about what's next for the Steam series.

11/12: Confused the Dark Suit with the Phazon Suit.

Bring on Hollow Knight, Eastward and Cristales. Just try to be gentle with my wallet otherwise.

Let's hope the 108 stars continue to align for this potentially wonderful game.
