I really wish I knew why I'm not feeling this. I love Fire Emblem and bought all the games since we started getting them again, but for some reason, this just leaves me completely cold.

I'd rather a Switch 2 over a Switch Pro.
Give it full backwards compatibility, stop making regular and OLED Switches and cut the price of the Lite.

Let the Switch Lite (call it classic or something) take the 3DS's role as a "budget entry-level" device and since it has full BC third parties can still make S1 games without alienating S2 owners (being able to support both gens with one game seems to be this generation saving grace for third parties).

Specs-wise id' settle for somewhere around Series S level (since MS is obviously going to keep incentivising devs to aim for that ball park as a minimum anyway), it'd be cool to have a booster dock.

Harvest moon 64 was the first in the series I fell hard for, hopefully it'll end up on our NSo soon enough.

Man they sure are hitting all my harvest moon nostalgia

Considering they managed to wangle Pokemon Bank on the GB Pokemon games for virtual console, there could be some functionality for stadium/2, it'd be weird to include these without something. The GC ones at least had a story mode.

I loved the GC one, can't wait to give this a go

@Anti-Matter Seems so, the romance options don't seem linked to player gender this time around.

For some reason, I'm not feeling this and I'm not overly sure why. I was excited when it started but the further into the trailer the more "meh" I grew. Maybe when a demo launches it'll convince me otherwise.

I'm not sold on this for Switch (great for the n64 though). It seems like a needless middle ground between the N64 styled Switch controllers and something like the 8bitdo pro controllers.

If its not like world of illusion, I am less interested

I'm just glad we seem to be skipping the eternal "Switch Pro at the next direct rumour" which floats up every few months since the Switch launched

Have this on PC, its a nice chill little game. More of a "game" that townscaper, Its like a city builder version of solitaire

I had forgotten the whole dolphin riding thing, will have to jump on this again.

I hate, actively hate, the fact I can't get on with this franchise's gameplay. I enjoy a wide selection of RPG gameplay and for some reason, the Xenoblade gameplay just bothers me.

@CANOEberry There was a massive poop storm a few years back because they changed the rules about fan content and drastically altered what they could and couldn't do. It not only caused a bunch of in-progress projects to get C&Ded but also existing and established fan content got put in the crosshairs.

They backed down a bit, saving the existing content but still crippled the new stuff. Time was Trek fans could produce entire seasons of content, now they are limited to very short films.

It's like peering into an alternate reality where Star Trek got more games.

The US one looks like the sort of art you'd see in on a star wars knock off toy in poundland

What's the co-op situation like? Koei's been a bit weird with the feature recently, they freely acknowledge its how a lot of players enjoy the franchise but have gotten really weird at supporting it.

It exists, the works done. Just throw it in as a NSO extra or give it out (digitally) to owners of 1-2 Switch.

Sure its bad but if no one is actively paying for it, then it doesn't matter

I don't like visual novels but I just adored Coffee Talk. Everything was just spot on from the writing, to the art, and music.

The man had talent, and it will be missed.

I think a detail a lot of people miss when Nintendo talks about the Switch's life span is that it also includes the time it co-exists with its follow up. The 3DS lived alongside the Switch for what 3 years, that'd be a out the third of its life

I also wouldn't be surprised if these aren't firm "years" but more life states like new console - prime - old console.

I really don't see the Switch existing as Nintendos main console once third party support for X1/Ps4 generation dries up, but I can see the lite, like the N3DSXL, living on for years after the next console hits.

It's nice to have some UK accents, it helps separate the series from the endless anime RPGs dubs and translations that exist.

Great gogamogga, it's always quietly just plugging away.

"Hey gamers, want some nut butter?"

"I need an adult"

My first squad wise came at the hands of an alpha scyther. I expect the screen to turn white, but no the scyther turns to me, then you remember it doesn't have hands, and it seems to want to use them on my head.

I felt bad. Saw a Togpei sleeping, snuck up behind it and pelted it in the head with a heavy ball.

"Mario's probably in the know, but they don't tell Luigi anything."
That was very Luigi.

@Orpheus79V then you'll be super happy with the "Machoke me daddy" that was getting bat around the twitter thread.

For me the while thing is just spread too thin. So either more shows or reduce the gap between the first and last ones.

Id got the "all-new" route.
Shrink the roster by a lot but every single character would have a new move list (well as much as possible, there is only so much you can do with Mario.)

I'm not tempted if its just the ac DLC but if it's a rotating bit of content, like if the next mario kart's dlc gets in there it's something I'd consider

That last look at the game gave me MonHun vibes.

I didn't know a out this.
I bloody adore the first one! Can't wait to jump back in to that crazy world

I kinda hope this never dies, and just becomes a weird constant thing in gaming. "there always something behind waterfalls" "when given an obvious path, the collectable is down the other" "leaning helps you steer" and "Doom guy if BFFS with Isabella"

Now I'm going to jump to Youtube and listen to the DOOM Crossing sony

I love this, it's a fantastic change of pace. The guy works so hard, but can't help but feel it's going to get toxic real quick when the final slot is "wasted" by not having _______ and things will return to "normal".

I hope Nintendo lets Sakurai make whatever he wants for his next project, and that also includes projects like makes a blanket fort and playing games for 6 months.

@AlienX I've just assumed Ultimate is being used as a big end of an era thing, just throwing every character ever at it and then what ever comes next is going to be some "evolution" of the game and with a much smaller roster (with hopefully) different moves (so every character is technically new".
There was some instantly dismissed because its clearly BS Redit rumour that Ultimate would be Sakurai's last Smash and the "new guy" was pushing for a more narrative approach.

Got this feeling we're going to see some concepts for characters that didn't make the cut.

I'll be watching as it's the end of an era, granted a small era, but we've had these videos coming since before the game launched 3 years ago, so it seems right to watch the final one.

I want them to have a trailer that slowly built up hints it's waluigi and then it turns out its shadow or someone.

Hehe hehe.. N.E.R.D, everytime it makes me chuckle.

This would be a neat feature for when the playing the switch in handheld but at home.

Maybe hyrule warriors would be stable

My plan for the OLED is the same plan I had for the 3DS XL the DS XL, GBA SP...

Not buying it whilst mine still works. The improvements are "nice to have" not "need to have" like mid-gen upgrades.

Shake shake!

Spent more time than Mischief Makers probably deserved...

and I'll do it again!

@Octane it's such a weird oversight. I only watched that vid for a minute or so and the lack of any voice/grunts is.... off-putting

I want to like this, I always have a soft spot for game that decide to be two different things (sudden memories of Dark Cloud) but the presentation is really getting me down here, and hearing this "simple" looking game isn't smooth isn't helping.

I'll no doubt pick it up when its on a sale at somepoint.

I enjoyed the hell out of this on my Quest 1, not sure how great the experience will be "flat" I really hope it holds up

Charles is Mario's voice and will always be.

That being said, I still remember that 3DS video where he did the whole thing in character... It was not great. No-fault on his part, some decided they wanted the "full Mario" and that was the outcome.

So I 100% get casting someone else, with Pratt if this was pre-Lego movie I would be concerned (speaking exclusively about his ability) but I suspect it's doable. Honestly, Miyamoto's involvement gives me a little pause ATM.

Got to give it an A.

Most of it wasn't of interest to me but it was all solid infomation, reveals, and annoucments.

This game disappointed me.

Not for any actual quality issue of the game itself, but all the artwork for it is so fantastic and has this mystical, magical warmth to it that just drew me right to it... and the actual game is your standard "retro but not" indie sprite work.

@Chowdaire That or its some utterly confusing "gameboy" controller for GB/GBC/GBA games coming to NSO

@Outerdragon certainly made me preorder

I'd expect it be like the nes/snes set up, GB/GBC "now" then GBA 6-12 months later

The Ray tracing seems to be doing a whole lot of the "wow" here considering all most everyone here wasn't watching on a 8K screen. I'd happily play an 1080P version with RT, guess that's gonna have to wait till the Switch 2.

Okay was not expecting this would be revisiting the Mario bros from Brooklyn stuff

I thought the franchise had fully divorced itself from that with the whole Mario and Luigi was delivered by Stork in the Mushroom Kingdom.
