I really want to enjoy this game but it crashes every time I try to open the main menu after around 1 hour of playtime.
I know it autosaves and I know it's early access but it's still super annoying!
Stop making season passses and make the game run decently first at least.
I totally agree with 10/10 but only IF you have played either Xenoblade 1 or 2
One can usually jump into any of the Xenoblade games without worry about the story but not this time.
Future redeemed is packfull of memberberries and callbacks to XB1 and XB2.
If you have only played Xenoblade 3 I can't in good coincidence recommend it.
@SpoonySpoons season 1 to 3.
They play a little like Monster Hunter but with rope slinging. Controls are complicated but when it clicks you fly from gaint neck to giant neck and it feels pretty exhilaratiing.
I need to point out that the eshop only promises 2 players online. Not 4 as this review implies.
This game just feels like a huge missed opportunity.
We could have had online rankings and match-making. We could have had a toggle to old-school graphics and music. We could have had Dual Strikes included. We could have had weekly challenges.
Considering this was delayed a year I expected a little more content. As it stands they could have just released the GBA versions on NSO and most people would have been glad with that if this is all we're getting.
I'm still buying it but I'm going to add it to the list of uninspired Nintendo games we've got the last couple of years.
Of course we can't transfer Pokemon from Pokemon Home. That would take months of programming and why go the extra mile when the bare minimum works just fine?
And it will only cost $150 for the Complete Deluxe Edition.
With $20/month season pass and a premium store with limited timed skins.
Cmon! You know it's true. It's an E rated 2K game.
I thought this was NIS Japan from watching the trailer.
Those super attacks and menus looked very Disgaea to me.
I'll buy it if it releases here. Sweden is very hit and miss when it comes to H games.
I'm still hoping for online multiplayer even if it's limited to like 3 people it would be awesome.
Like it or not this game is revolutionary in what it does. A milestone in gaming history.
Online multiplayer you say? That is very intriguing if the game and workout is decent. If it's on par with Fitness Boxing but also has online multiplayer I'm sold!
I'm super hyped and worried at the same time. There is zero mention of multiplayer so is this going to be single-player with npc companions? I will buy it either way being one of my favorite 3DS games but if there's no multiplayer I'm going to be a little dissappointed.
The only three things you need to know about this game:
1. It runs well
2. It has online co-op.
3. It is more zen than Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley combined!
It might as well be called Dopamine Generator because everytime it goes <ping!> my brain feel good.
This is a game for those of us that plays roller in Splatoon because it feels good to cover everything.
Good to see it did well! I'm still luke-warm about Engage since there seems to be more focus on combat and less focus on socializing with your team. I much preferred the step towards Persona that Three Houses took. I'll pick up Engage eventually but not right now.
Getting ready for Tears of the Kingdom probably. Maybe they have another big game planned as well like a new Mario game? That would make sense considering the new theme park and Mario movie.
One problem with Ubisoft games is they go in sale within 1-3 months of release. If it happens once in a while fine but it's become so common it's become a meme.
If I ignore older ports that I absolutely love, like Persona 5R, 13 Sentinels, Stanley Parable, Nier Automata, No Man’s Sky and Portal Collection then my top 5 would be:
1. Xenoblade Chronicles 3
2. Triangle Strategy
3. AI Somnium Files Nirvana Initiative
4 .Pokemon Legends Arceus
5. Disney Dreamlight Valley
I’m a little surprised it only reached 1 mil now considering it’s the best srpg I’ve played in many years. I thought most FE Three Houses players would jump on this but evidently not.
Not that a mil is something to scoff at. I just hope we get a sequel because I really loved this.
I'll be honest. I didn't like this game. And I love farming games and rpg's so it should've been right up my alley.
The town npc's feel dead.
Timed dungeons suck.
Threre is no customizing your character or your farm.
No voice acting.
The combat feels stiff.
I'm not a fan of crafting and cooking taking time out of the day.
Cooked food sells for as much as the raw ingredients, making 90% of all recepies useless.
The only things I did like were the story, the character art, the world's art direction, the graphics and lore.
If this game had been $40 I think I would have been more forgiving. Considering the genre It should have been an 8/10 for me but it feels more like a 6.
Be warned: currently there is a recurring bug that stops you from progressing with a controller. You have to take the Switch out of the dock and use the touchscreen to proceed. Really unfortunate because it's a very good story.
I REALLY would like to buy it but I'm busy with Pokemon Violet, Disney Dreamlight Valley, Persona 5 and Nier Automata. So I'll wait...I'll try to wait.
Very salty Xenoblade fan.
Not for the missed GOTY obviously. That was never going to happen. But Best RPG? Best Music? Nothing huh? That's just wrong.
Xenoblade 3 is my game of the year at least.

Well that was a founder's pack in the trash bin. Serves me right for paying for a live-service game.
Re: Nintendo Reveals Its Next Switch Online Game Trial (Europe)
A very good game and the only Switch game with 4 player split-screen in 60fps AFAIK! Truly a remarkable accomplishment!

I'd like Link to stay quiet but voice everyone else. It would certainly help me as I'm visually impaired.
Re: LEGO 2K Drive's Physical Switch Release Is Just A Download Code
Oh boy! A download code and microtransactions plus live service?! Does it come with a slap in the face too or is that sold separately?
Re: New Advance Wars Switch Overview Trailer Introduces The Basics Of Battle
I love Advance Wars and I'm definitely picking it up.
BUT...only supporting 2 players online is massively disappointing.

Wow, Remnant is amazing! Glad I didn't sleep on this one! Shame there's no gyro but at least it's a blast to play.

Johnny is right. You can buy the digital deluxe upgrade seperately. Same with the rest of the dlc.
Re: Capcom Ending Resident Evil 7 Cloud Rental Service On Switch
I mean, isn't all cloud-game rentals? Since when the srver shuts down you can no longer play it.
Like an mmo.
Re: Risqué Anime RPG 'Mugen Souls' Splashes Onto Switch Next Month

I'll buy it if it releases here. Sweden is very hit and miss when it comes to H games.

@Ocaz Same here.

Re: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Is Coming To Switch Later This Year
I'm super hyped and worried at the same time.

I will buy it either way being one of my favorite 3DS games but if there's no multiplayer I'm going to be a little dissappointed.
Re: Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective Gets Resurrected On Switch This Summer

Re: Hands On: Theatrhythm Final Bar Line Feels Like A Perfectly Tuned Final Fantasy Celebration
I already have the Premium Digital Deluxe Edition pre-ordered. Curtain Call was my most played 3DS game so this was a must-buy for me personally.
Re: Vanillaware President Really Wants A 'Muramasa' Port But Admits "There Are Problems"
Dragon's Crown would find a warm welcome on Switch since it's a 4 player beat em up and those are doing really well on Switch.

Eh.. Demo ran fine for me. Then again I have 500 Mbit fiber.
I’m still not buying a game that has no availability time-frame in their TOS.
Re: Review: Aliisha: The Oblivion Of Twin Goddesses - A Co-op Puzzler That Demands Two Switches
@Moistnado Nope, no online. It only works in local wireless.
If they had made a free client for player 2 like It Takes Two it probably would have reviewed better.
I’m not paying €60 to play this with a friend.

If they run good I'll happily buy both on release. Persona 3 was my first Persona game and P4G is my favorite!

Really unfortunate because it's a very good story.
