@mjharper Most likely OG switch shortages I reckon. Nintendo recently said they still have trouble filling certain orders. Sales will probably hover close to 100k for a while.
People.... Nintendo takes down projects that try to earn money. As long as it remains free they stay up. There are tons of Nintendo inspired, modded or revamped games out there.
Am I the only one who wants the Gamecube layout back, or an evolution of it? Keep the big button in the middle and have 4 bean shaped buttons around it.
@patbacknitro18 Maybe they just wanted to focus on Skyward Sword HD? They will probably leave any Breath of the Wild 2 info for the E3 direct or a Zelda Anniversary direct.
Never got the appeal of this game. Everything looks so disjointed. Colours are all over the place, the character designs are atrocious. After the demo feedback they should've delayed the game indefinitely. The only positive thing I've read about it are the cutscenes. I don't understand how games get to a stage like this from massive developers. 3D platformers have been around for over 25 years, yet they fail at the most basic controls.
@Harmonie No, not at all. I didn't think Link's Awakening was worth the standard €60 price, and that looked way better than these do. I skipped out on Sword and Shield as well, Pokémon has been taking insanely small baby steps. Still keeping my hopes up for Legends though.
So what I can gather from the comments is that every Xenoblade game is the worst and best at everything. Personally, I'm completely invested in the Xenoblade universe. When I played the first game on Dolphin about 9 years ago I was completely blown away. The setting, story, gameplay, all fantastic. The UI was my least favourite thing about it. Xenoblade X came along and gave new meaning to the words "open world", the combat became a bit more convoluted though. Xenoblade 2's combat is peak gameplay for me, once you get a full party and decent blades, the combat becomes this rhythmic dance. The voice acting of some characters rally brought down the mood for some scenes though, especially compared to the emotional performance of the Japanese voices. I dislike certain aspects of each game, but the positive aspect absolutely dwarf anything negative. Eagerly awaiting a new entry in the series and the new IP by Monolith Soft.
@JohnnyC This game could be huge in Japan especially with Animal Crossing and Momotaro doing so well and basically bringing in a different type of gamer.
I really wish they would update the Mii's appearance a bit. Something in between what it is now and the Breath of the Wild Characters.
Not sure I'm doing commentary with it just yet, most likely just a simple game audio recording only. I'm working on setting up a streaming channel, but I won't be properly ready for at least a month.
3 hour speed run is impressive? This game is probably bigger then I first thought. Just finished Horace, can't wait to start this. Will be the first game I'm recording from start to finish.
@Clyde_Radcliffe I just started chapter 9 (I was on chapter 3 when I first posted). This game is a trip and a half... I wasn't really that into it at first, but as each chapter passes I get sucked into it more. Don't enjoy all the mini games as they feel somewhat unresponsive at times, but the general tone of this game is amazing. Certain events in the game come out of nowhere. Can't wait to see what's left
Put down Age of Calamity a few weeks ago, going to try to pick it up again. Also bought Horace last sale and played through chapter 3, looks like a decent game, so I might finish that first.
Not in the least bit interested in this game, but I do think it is going to be a huge money maker for The Pokémon Company. Its simplicity is probably going to be the winning factor here.

Has there been any word on the price of this? I'm really not feeling the new style of graphics.
