Sony: hey we wanna pay for time exclusivity for your next two games.
Bethesda, acts a bit weird: sure sounds like a deal
they shake hands and sony leaves
Bethesda : well this is interesting.
pulls of its mask scooby do style revealing Microsoft : Very interesting indeed.

just have Henry Cavil record his various emotive witcher grunts.

wait this one is livestreamed? Wasn't the previous ones prerecorded drops?

I really want to like this, its made of bits of things that I love but there is something about the combat that's putting me off, and I'm not too sure on why.

Well wasn't expect thing to get such a pumbling, ouch.

I was expecting "typical smash clone" not "kill it with fire"

I love how non of the "leakers" seemed to have caught wind of this.

Crap, my daughter just saw the Cat Peach... I am now doomed to own this.

The EU one is least "the worst" and reminds me of a manga cover.

The US one is dingy and the JPN is just a mess.

The EU/US one simply because the JP's Gamecube logo ruins it.

@clvr "It's starting to grate me how so many people on this site constantly doubt official statements and such and trick themselves (and others) into thinking that every game ever is coming to the Switch (even if it's exclusive to other platforms)"

I still get people telling me we're definitely getting the FF7 remake or Persona 5 because of smash

1) awesome
2) guess big directs are done.
3) awesome.

if this was another game I might be worried.

But this is exactly what happened with Bayonetta 2. It was revealed super early in the Wii Us life and ended up as one of the last big games on the machine.

@Bearzilla823 The legend is the Mario Land team was really unhappy about being forced to work on an IP they didn't make and so made Wario as an insult/jab at Mario as a character.

"The second factor is that Nintendo’s development resources are concentrated on developing content for a single platform"

So. Much. This.

They could have at least switch the stick/pad layout but considering almost every "new" controller of theirs recently has had the same case, I'm guessing they have a heap of them laying around

I really dont want it to be Springman.

Not that I don' like the guy, he'd be a solid choice being one of the box art characters and all.

But having an assist trophy be "promoted" in the same game is just going to open a pandora's box of Waluigi and other assist's fans at every DLC reveal and tease that will never stop.

I dislike the US cover, It could easily be the cover for a high fantasy game, all the others are clearly cyberpunk

I just don't like any of them.

The US one is probably the best in terms of the art but at the same time it could also be for any sonic game after the first one.

Don't get me wrong I'm not opposed to an E3-less "E3 season" but man breaking it up into 30 different events is just a pain.

Love the show, looking forward to the third show. The gameplay trailer does not fill me with confidence

Man, this game disappointed me at almost every turn. On paper it sounds like gold, Xenoverse but with lots of anime characters and you can different fighting styles.

The story was meh, the art style is bothersome, the AI is pants on head stupid, and is filled with annoying design choices like having a sword-fighting style and sword cosmetic items but your character only uses their weird not a sword spirit thing.

I just dont get why I should need both the steelbook and the standard case. It first happened with OoT3D and now both cases sit on my shelf, annoying me.

before I clicked the article I decided I would tap out the second Melee was mentioned, 2nd sentence, later than I feared earlier than I hoped.

I used to care, okay care is too strong of a word, I paid attention to this sort of thing but it usually boils down to "but I want money for melee" you just don't get that sort of thing with the other eSports, you don't see people complaining Activision doesn't sponsor Modern Warfare 2 tournaments in 2020.

I... I forgot this even came out on switch.

Star Trek birth of the Federation sparked my love of 4x games, which I'm currently playing in the form of Civ on Switch.

And... That's about it for my TrekXNintendo thoughts.

Star trek has be dying for an game for such a long time. I wonder what it would of been like if CBS approved of Bethesda and Biowares respective pitches

Characters I want...
Non triforce Legend of Zelda character.
Non sword Fire Emblem character.
Non clone Star Fox fighter.
Monster Hunter. (Multi weapon like Byleth)
Dragonborn (multi weapon)

And Geralt, I don't actually want him in but he might as well add smash to crossovers.

I like E3 its the closest thing to a gaming holiday, sure the news can be underwhelming or not come to pass for years but it's the one time of the year when gamers are "looking" at the one place and all talking about it.

I think it's "fine", not bad or good.

The games I'm currently playing are at the forefront which means switching (between digital) games I'm actively playing is quick.

It's is a bugger if I'm going looking for something in particular. Of cause I'd like extra features but I can easily live with the current home UI

There is just something so intensely off putting about monohorn charizard

Man I love this game. I recall the exact point I knew I had to buy it.

I was playing the XBLA demo and it just stops and the narrator goes "throats getting a bit sore, I need some lubrication" or some such and it threw up they buy now option.

It was too smooth it not reward

At this rate we're going to be able to have a smash bros esc crossover game featuring a dozen franchises and be able to have a cast consisting only of Geralt

Remember when Ultimate was "clearly just Smash 4 deluxe", how it was a "disgrace" that Nintendo would charge full price, and how it was going to "bomb".

Well that didn't play out.

Man the environment artwork is fantastic

@Stocksy Normally a retailer will send you a code, or the code will be in the game box.

Japanese one... not that the artwork on that is good (it really isn't) but the other two make me feel like I've wandered into the wrong chatroom

tell you what, I'm entirely up for a series of retro remasters where the artwork comes from their 90's cartoon.

@fluggy Don't get me wrong I agree but Game Sharing (on both PS4 and X1) isn't really intentional it is just a loophole in the "play your games at your friends' house" account system not an official feature.

If MS or Sony decided to close it (like Nintendo) they need the other to do it too, I know more than a couple of gamesharers who'll happily jump ship if it means not having to buy "every game"

I had a strong negative reaction to those two.

Game itself is interesting enough, for a fitness game

Japanese. It features the same muppet art as the euro one but without the super FX advert text.

I'm sure this has to do with the classic issue of licencing and actually getting games on the service. Third parties don't want to launch their classic titles via Nintendo when they can do it themselves and make all the money. Alternatively, the game contains, or the game itself is an IP without a clear owner.

Do yourself a favour and only expect Nintendo made games on these things, that way the other games are a neat surprise.

@deadpixels I'd hope it was an "all in one" library with GB, GBC, and GBA

This comment section started of with "so maybe N64 next year" to "definitely GameCube in 2021"

I can already feel the rage as next year they announce Gameboy for Nintendo Switch Online next year.

Its gonna be a bunch of release dates, the announcement of the final update, and end on a tease of Shovel Knight 64

Neat

Apparently that wasn't enough for NL, so here are some additional words that that really shouldn't be read as they are not going to add anything of value and simple waste a few moments of your time.

It'll be a touch screen thing.

I just don't love this controller as much as I liked the normal Pro, maybe its because it doesn't have the EU SNES colouring or that with the horns the symmetrical sticks cause me problems.

I still rate it very highly, just not as high as the OG pro or the Switch Pro

Aloan variant: look at our lovely exotic forms.
Gallar variant: I'LL CUT YOU!

ahem...

Cerebral Bore, Cerebral Bore, Cerebral Bore, Cerebral Bore, Cerebral Bore, Cerebral Bore, Cerebral Bore, Cerebral Bore, Cerebral Bore, Cerebral Bore, Cerebral Bore, Cerebral Bore, Cerebral Bore, Cerebral Bore, Cerebral Bore, Cerebral Bore!

That is all.

Japanese > EU > US.

The US one just looks like the EU one got damp.

I seem to recall a Streets of Rage inspired board game using a similar "track" system.
