Why was it necessary to Square for this to be out by March 2021, why not just delay the game? If the cost of a delay and rework were too much then why was the game green-lit to begin with?
Really brings me back to Worms Armageddon and naming all my teams after DBZ characters. Maybe I should go back and add the roster from Super to another team too. Food for thought.
After my parents got me a SNES years ago my uncle was kind enough to get me a Super Game Boy along with Mario Land; after that I was able to play games like Battletoads and Kirbys Dream Land on a big screen.
It felt game changing back in the day and will forever be a highlight in my gaming history.
Nice to see Bahamut Lagoon here. It was a very fun game and I think any Fire Emblem fan would appreciate the array of characters within. Love that battle theme too.... to Youtube!
My ideal Pokemon game would retain the top down perspective but with high-def 2d sprite work. Sprites capture such a unique form of expression that 3d just doesn't.
Frame rate stutters aside, which we'll assume will be optimised before launch, it seems like an interesting idea. Will be interested to see how they flesh it out further in development.
Was never overly fond of the gangly looking character proportions in Sun/Moon or Sword/Shield so this design aesthetic is really pleasing. Would love a new game in this style too.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Reggie, if you're also sitting on some localized copies of Treasure of the Rudra and Live-A-Live, please may I borrow them?

Fantastic to see this get a final release date. I shall be there with bells on!
Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase To Air Tomorrow, 14th April
@tricksterdoom Fingers crossed for Silksong and Eastward
You read my mind!
Re: Mario Kart Tour Kicks Off Its Ninja Tour Event
My blood runs cold every time I see updates for this... this... game.
Re: Feature: Nihon Falcom's Trails Of Cold Steel Rivals Game Of Thrones In The Worldbuilding Stakes
If CS 1 and 2 were to turn up on the Switch I would buy the four of them all at once.
(Already played, and loved, the Skies and Zero games)
Re: Dead Cells' Free Whack-A-Mole Update Adds "Insanely Large" Weapons, New Mutations And More
Still only on BSC level 3, need to steam roll through the next two difficulties but finding it rather... difficult. Yet, I shall persevere!

Conglaturation you played great game!

Re: Balan Wonderworld Is Getting A Day-One Patch To Address Demo Feedback
Being a big fan of Billy Hatcher I was excited at Balan's announcement. Then there was that demo. shudder
Really don't understand why they're forcing this to be out soon instead of just delaying it for a year, year and half.

We had quitters during the war too; we called them Kentuckians!
Re: Bethesda Will Make "Some" New Titles Exclusive To Xbox And PC
You don't spend billions on something in order to share it with the world. We may still get the crumbs they deign to throw us.
Re: Atlus Wants To Know What Games You Want Ported To Switch
Too excited for SMT V to port beg for anything else right now. Ask me next week.
Re: Review: Citizens Unite!: Earth x Space - Two Mid-Tier RPGs For The Price Of One
I'd recommend either game on just some of the hilarious dialogue by itself. Thankfully they're also rather fun RPGs, if a little buggy sometimes.
Re: Poll: Do You Like The Chibi Art Style In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl?

Re: Fans Should 'Forget About Bayonetta 3' For Now, Says Platinum's Hideki Kamiya
It'll happen when it happens; I'd much prefer they take as much time as possible in order to craft a sublime game.
Re: Can You Name All This Nintendo Hardware?
13/20. There were some sneaky ones in there to be sure. Must brush up on my hardware visuals. Fun quiz.

Yale could use a Monster Hunter Switch Mr Burns.

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

Perfectly cromulent article.
Re: Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury File Size Revealed
Played my fill of 3D World back on the Wii U so I'll hold back now, despite how nice Fury looks so far.

Re: F-Zero GX Producer Toshihiro Nagoshi "Wouldn't Mind" Working On Nintendo's Futuristic Racing Series Again
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.
Re: Mario Kart Tour Gets A New Year Update With RMX Rainbow Road 2
Every time this game is updated I die a little inside.

Classic Kamiya. You keep being you my friend.
Re: Level-5 Boss Teases 2021 Announcement, Says He Loves Cyberpunk 2077
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.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 19th)
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.
Re: Square Enix Announces SaGa Frontier Remastered, Launches On Switch In Summer 2021
@Dezzy FF6 remade with Octopath Traveller style graphics would sell like 5 million copies easily.
I would buy that Day 1!
Re: Huge Capcom Leak Suggests New Final Fight, Power Stone, Mega Man And Dragon's Dogma Games Are Coming
Power Stone is, sadly, too good to be true. I'll remain skeptic of this one.
Re: Hyper Light Drifter Dev Abylight Slams Twitter's 'Dangerous And Careless Attitude' After Surprise Ban
I love Hyper Light Drifter; it's a great game.
Re: XIII Remake's Launch On PS4 Doesn't Give Us Much Hope For The Switch Release
Why do these companies always want to do away with the charming aesthetics that made their games remarkable in the first place?
Re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition Isn't Coming To Switch After All
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.

Popular company. Check. Limited release. Check. FOMO. Check.
Same thing every time sadly.
