For the love of me I can't figure why it's Japan only. They really still think Nintendo doesn't sell outside of their country??
Edit: After reading some comments from the guys from the motherland of 7-eleven, I get why Nintendo wouldn't want to put their brand there. Quality control
I bought my N3DSXL when it released. It was my first 3DS, and one of my most beloved consoles. I still play it and love it, but would love some valuable digital discounts. I'll still buy games for it!
MH4U, Fire Emblems, Etrian Odysseys, SMT games... Damn this little bugger is one hell of a workhorse!
For this to be fixed, it has to be an Ying Yang situation. Show teasers and trailers, and start the hype train, when it's time. Not when you have a whole bunch of nothing.
Industry shows a random group of Demon models, with a generic idle animation, in a generic empty and bland room cof SMT V cof.
Studios should stop showing these early nothings, just because they need to see their stocks rise, to get more investment, based on some stupid metric of engagement. @the4seer
And also customers should start seeing through these monkey business practices. They are becoming way too common, and just setting everyone up for a disappointment (insert cyberpunk reference here).
Did someone else notice the poor frame rate in some of the particle explosions? If that's how it will be on PC, I am kinda worried as of now even more for the Switch version... My builds in Diablo II were always very particle heavy. Hope they figure it out before launch.
Does anyone even take seriously that cr*pshow of a site, that takes reviews from all over the internet? One of the problems with taking an aggregator seriously is that companies suffer with it, and many times is not even representative of the quality of the games.
@RR529 Yah looks pretty bad on boss fights... 25fps. Anything below 30 is unplayable to me... I'll probably snag it in steam. Pitty since I was hyped for it on the Switch 🤷♂️
I really think this game looks amazing, but when I played the demo at the time it came out, I was bummed out on the performance... Mostly just the framerate. If the framerate was fixed during this time, I really need to get it. Artist is the same from Fire Emblem: Awakening, and I am a Gunpla head, so this looks like a perfect fit... if only the framerate was consistent, or maybe even above 30.
@RandomAfricanGamer It's true, but if you watch any tennis, you'd know what kind of personality she has. Has nothing to do with her characteristics as a player.
@nessisonett Yes we're all just colors for you haha
@cleveland124 That is exactly what companies do. Get their supply from China, Box it, label it for world standards, add their goodies and stickers, and then re-ship it worldwide.
Even in the stupid EU we have to sell our goods to the next door neighbor country, just so we buy it again from them at exorbitant rates.
A stupid amount of money goes to middlemen and adds a ton of expenses to everything...
This just looks like a Graphic Designer intern's first project, and he was unsure if the client would like any of the layouts so he decided to drop them all at the same time. 3 is better than 1, he THUNK
Am I the only one that came here looking for the Nonary Games being mentioned only to realize they were never released for the Switch? Had to cry in silence...
That Immortals game... I can see the low framerate from the trailer already and the game hasn't come out. Wanna bet that's not gonna change until NL's review?
I grew tired really quickly of this art style... I understand it's easier to create but all games look alike and all of them look really generic, even if the game is really good. Not for me.
@JuiceMan_V What? Did you even bother to see more pictures of it or are you talking based on the picture in the article? It seems a little obvious that this is a picture of the cover being placed and not fully applied. Check out playasia's product page, there you can see it fully covering the whole front.
@JuiceMan_V It covers the whole front of the dock.
This is for people that want to preserve the dock's front panel, simple as that. Be it limited edition or the regular one, all of them can get scratched. I don't understand why it's so confusing for commenters and the authors.
@contractcooker Doesn't look simple at all to me, but being released earlier on other platforms doesn't make it more valuable as a product by itself. If I get it i will get it on the cheapest platform available. That's just bad for the game's performance on eShop. It could sell more than it currently sells. And it's a pretty common thing I'm seeing, not just this game.
I don't understand why developers don't do the same discounts as they do on other platforms... I mean Cuphead has been at 40% discount on PC in the past.
Frame rates and frame pacing issues, as far as I've experienced in the demo and seen in the gameplay trailer at E3... Hopefully they fix it prior to launch!
@impurekind I could tell you have more insight knowledge than most of the commenters that are yapping about theft and criminality. It is nice to read you got it sorted out man. Cheers to you. We need more people with that kind of attitude.
The gist of it is that IF we continue to allow corporations to manipulate our online discourse and abuse their power over public speech without any real legal basis and proof of foul play, we'll be mindless drones.
@Lone_Beagle I totally agree with you on this one, on every line.
@Riderkicker Yeah man it's exactly what i was considering. Its more like a scare tactic, and I don't see the leaker going to court to defend his right to publish information.
@impurekind Yeah most of the people here assume there was criminality involved by the publisher without any substance to that. Most probably someone inside the venues are giving him the info and he is just the publisher.
Also the argument that you're dealing with stolen goods is very wrong. No one is selling the information and no one is directly profiting from the information.
EDIT: I could be totally wrong on all of this of course but with the information in this article, it's my only conclusion.
Guys the word leaking or revealing involves it being a secret. What I am wondering is how can someone make me not talk about something I know, if I have no relation to them? Like could McDonald's prosecute me if I revealed on twitter their recipe for the Big Tasty sauce, even though I never even worked there?
@Morph nah, it's not exclusive to this game. They did it with Octopath traveller too. They are trying to give "value". More like just a perception of value. Square couldn't realyl honestly care less about user feedback on the covers of an 18 year old game.
@Morph It's not packed in so they can give stuff to their fan clubs and use those things as exclusive content for their useless services. Basically to justify the existence of some programs.
The graphics are great to me, I dunno what are you guys complaining about.
Main character looks like Edward Elric but it's great!
I'll end up forgetting about the game by the release date... Such a long time from now.
@yamato2706 I literally asked if the game has english support. I know how it works, don't need the break down. @DockEllisD Thanks man, didn't think of doing it that way!
Now my issue probably will be with the customs and fees for EU. Probably will have to buy ours here. I mean it's fine but I'd prefer that gorgeous beauty!
