@Debo626 The cutscenes are around 13hrs in total. The rest of the game you are reading anyway, riiiight??? I loved it. Performance in handheld is awful. I wouldn't recommend that to anyone. But on a TV with a pro controller (maybe the Pyra pro-controller?) it's up there with DQXI S, Persona 5, and Trails in the Sky for my favorite RPGs of the generation. In all transparency though, there are some really annoying setbacks here and there — like the field skills mechanic, and a couple of other things that you have to deal with. These are reasons why a definitive edition would be great. Xenoblade X and Chronicles had annoying stuff that they fixed as well. On Wii U Xs fetch quests would just tell you the name of a plant or something, and let you go roam the freaking huge world looking for it. Some of them were rare to find, as well.
@Nep-Nep-Freak Oh, shoot. That's right. They did change some language to tone down the associations with Christianity. I totally forgot about that. I was thinking of cut or visually altered content. They didn't cut or visually change anything that I am aware of. Some articles made a big deal about Tora and the suggested meaning behind his maid, but it's pretty subtle in Japanese to begin with, and just the idea that he has created a female who refers to him as "master" is enough to disturb the characters in the scene. Try playing it with Japanese voices! If you are aware of the changes I don't think with hinder your enjoyment much. It's still pretty obvious what the creators intended, if I remember correctly.
@Debo626 To each their own. XB2 is my favorite by far. I can't even bring myself to play 3 again, with its ultra boring chain attack system, and tons of spongy goon fights with the red guys from the theater. XB2 is a shonen manga in the Xenoblade universe, so maybe that's not your thing. But to me it has the best characters (great personalities/humor), truly feels like an adventure, best setting with actual culture (not just war camps or cookie cutter colonies), and has the best enemies, who have decent motivation for their choices. If you ever play it again I strongly recommend that you play with the Japanese voice cast. The sell the world and emotions a 1000 times better.
@kmtrain83 You could also make copies of your files back then, or put it back on the floppy and use it elsewhere without requiring permission from an online server. People don't like that with gamekey cards you don't actually own the game.
@Medic_alert Pikmin 3 and 4 are great! 4 starts off slow, and made me question whether they had missed the mark, but as it builds momentum it becomes the best of all of them. 2 is brutal. Dropping bombs and random monsters on you at cruel moments, wind or explosions blowing your pikmin off the edges of the stage, those gun turret creatures, etc. I played it recently. It's a frustrating game.
I just finished Rebirth on Steam. I'm so excited for any Switch 2 players to get to play it. The ability to play it on a handheld will be a great advantage! It was one of the best games from Square in the last decade, for sure. It's probably my favorite since Dragon Quest XI.
This just sounds so awful. An expensive replica that requires a subscription to play its games — so unless you keep paying for the service the thing will just lay around in your house somewhere. For nearly $100 that thing should have its own screen, with the games already installed on it. There is a literal sea of great entertainment content out there in the world, and with so many amazing games, frankly none of these is worth your time. Even if you go with the cheaper version. Go buy Hollow Knight or Steamworld Dig instead.
@wuntyme8 A lot of people say it is a slow burn, so definitely keep that in mind. I didn't think so, personally. The first half is an introduction to the world, and systems, and I really enjoyed the pace. Many people still consider Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter (the 2nd part) to be the best in the whole series. I hope you get a chance to play them! The remake looks great. I went on the same journey as you with the Dragon Quest games. XI was my first, and I loved it. After that I continued on to some of the older games.
@wuntyme8 The perfect way to start is releasing in September. Trails in the Sky: the 1st. It is a remake of the first game, which is where the big, ongoing story starts. I recommend trying it! If you like the games from those other developers you mentioned then this one is definitely worth checking out. The first two games in the series tell an isolated story that has a satisfying conclusion. If you are happy with it and want to move on to other things there is no need to continue on, but you will probably want to keep going.
I really enjoyed this interview! Thank you! I just finished Child Steel II. I started with the Sky Trilogy a couple of years ago. It is a huge time commitment, but I use games for learning Japanese, and getting to play this series as a means of learning has been a huge gift that I will always be grateful for. The game key card thing... I mean, he has to be professional in his answers, and not say bad things about Nintendo. Truthfully, Nintendo has probably made it impractical to make a full physical release for 3rd parties. They (3rd party developers) are all doing it, and I am sure they are aware that customers don't prefer it.
I love the original. It was very chill, and had so many wonderful moments. The remake looks great. I am more worried about the new Japanese voice cast than anything. I can't imagine anyone else voicing Estelle!
@KayFiOS It's probably just Nintendo being controlling...
How sad for the people that really wanted to make this game. Some of the devs probably put a ton of love into it, then — op, time to scrap the creative new IP to make way for another Metroid/Donkey Kong/Zelda. The story repeats. I wouldn't want to work at that studio.
This is crazy... This should totally come with the full game. That being said, I don't know what it means to be a physical collector anymore. Most switch games won't even let you start the game without downloading an update. These game key-card things are just an extension of what is already a reality. Most of the time the finished games aren't on the card anyway. It's not great. This is the kind of setup that honestly promoted console modding, as at least you can dump your game cards and download updates from the web.
Xenoblade 2 is not objectively a 10 out of 10 game, but is my favorite in the series. That game is brimming with things to do, and has the best world in the series. I hope we get to see it in 4K, or a remaster someday.
It would be a real sad thing if the fantastic Switch library can't enjoy some performance upgrades on its successor console. Games with dynamic resolution (like the Xenoblade games) that were held back so they could run on the limited hardware spec could really use a resolution and framerate boost. I will super excited to see it if it happens. I am not expecting this to be the case though...
The day after preorders were announced I went into my local GameStop and asked if I could pre-order them. I was surprised that there was no problem, and half expected that I wouldn't actually get them when the day came. On release day the employee had doubts as well when I told him I had a pre-order for it — but then he found it when he went to look for it. I didn't see any others in the store. Whew. I don't know how I got so lucky.
I voted for a direct sequel in the poll, but really I think this game needed a solid DLC campaign to fill it out more, rather than a sequel. It was fairly short, and although there are a ton of moons to collect with no real incentive to collecting them I can never bring myself to go try to gather them all. It gets boring. Stuff like that needs to be tied to more story content.
@Dr_Luigi Yes, but I am also one of the few who purchased mine back in 2012, and purchased most major releases as they came out, and enjoyed the heck out of that console. They really blew it with the name, but the console itself was great. Now that most of its games are available elsewhere, it has different reasons for being great.
@tylerryan79 I think you might be able to do that, but I just have rips that I keep on a separate hard drive, and can install whatever I want on either of them via wup hax. I have tiramisu installed.
@Dr_Luigi Wrong! I bought a second one for in case anything happens to the first. This is my go to system for Nintendo's entire history, up to the Switch. With CFW it plays anything. Get an official adapter and a GC controller and you can play GC games natively over HDMI. My son and I are playing Pikmin and Luigi's Mansion on it currently. I just finished Mother 3 a couple of weeks ago on it, using my official Switch online SNES pad. I will never sell my Wii U.
@Markiemania95 The switch pro d-pad is awesome! The GC controller is still a favorite for me too. The rumble is great. L and R are a little noisy though.
This is the kind of situation that sends my head spinning with indecision. Being able to play this game portably is a clear advantage, and in some ways is the wiser choice. But in the long run I know that the visual degradation will bother me, even if it is slight. Also, after playing Dragon Quest XI S on PS5 I can confirm that 60 fps is really nice, even for a turn-based jrpg. I was a port begger for a P5R Switch release, but I ended up getting the PS5 version... If I could cross-save I would buy both! In my defense, they took a really, really long time to make the Switch version happen. If it had come out a year ago I wouldn't even have had a PS5 yet. The downside: I will have to be in the same room in the same spot for all 100+ hours of it, and I often travel for work.
Ah, interesting to see this. I have been thinking about how the Switch has such an awesome library, but I feel like half the games suffer from lower resolutions/subpar performance. I recently got a PS5, and am playing Dragon Quest XI S in 4K at 60fps. It feels like a completely different game compared to the Switch version. Until a Switch successor with a performance boost for the current library gets announced I think I am done buying games for Switch. I won't want to play them a few years from now, just like I can't stand to look at Wii games.
@Snatcher I almost put 2 down after a couple of hours in. The giant gorilla killing me we while I explored over and over again pissed me off — but that was my fault for being careless. If you can forgive the cheesier aspects, and brush up (via the internet) to make sure you are understanding the battle system, it has great characters, a rich world, and deep gameplay. It is now one of my favorite RPGS period, and I have played it three times through. If you can muster the time end energy to commit to it, don't pass it up. Oh, and switch the audio track to Japanese!! The Japanese cast did an amazing job.
Wow. Those are beautiful. I have wanted a replica of one of those flutes since the first time I laid eyes on them!
And it is also interesting that after putting so much work into making a unique voice for these characters they still decided to have the female protagonist's name be a meow joke. I am not saying it was a bad choice — just...interesting.
@Exerion76 Shhh. Quiet! I am still buying it and playing it at 540p on my switch. Lol Actually, I already bought it. Nintendo should break street themselves and send it on over! Can't wait!
@PAAGaming I played the heck out of my GameCube. I didn't realize until recently how poorly it sold. It only sold a little more than the Wii U. I honestly don't understand how so many people missed out on such a great console.
@EriXz Me too. Nintendo's best console! With Bloopair I am using a Switch pro controller, Switch online SNES controllers, and I use GameCube controllers with it via the official adapter. It plays 6 generations of games, and the latter three are run natively. Even a modded Switch can't do all of that.
@ryuuryuunonoroi Oh, I don't think it's that. I think people have just found another way to make easy money off of others. I doubt there are many people who think it is a good idea to spend money on video games as insurance for a collapsing economy.
What a mess. I managed to get one, but it took a couple of hours of trying. I had the same "cart limit reached" problem as others. Finally managed to get into my cart and get all my info in, but it wouldn't let me confirm... Eventually had to leave for the evening, and thought it was a lost cause, then managed to finally get into my cart again to purchase it from my phone. After weeks of Twitter alerts and dread over not being available when it went live, I think I will just go for the regular copy next time.
@Tyranexx I don't know that anyone got one. I was there from the first minute after the tweet and the site wouldn't let me make the purchase (same limit reached error). I downloaded Twitter for this. I set the notification as a bird sound, so I would know what it is. There have been multiple tweet notifications a day for a couple of weeks now. I work nights, so they have been disrupting my sleep for days. One time my wife heard it and thought there was an actual bird in the house. And then all this trouble today... I'm pretty close to giving up.
I'm generally pretty forgiving of games in a franchise that I like. I like Star Fox Zero, for example. But this game just completely misses the feel of the series, and botches a great chance to give Samus an interesting backstory. Sorry Reggie, jumping straight into gameplay would not help this one.
If you took the time to get used to the controls the game became quite addictive, and although it still has its flaws, even without the control scheme, I actually feel that some of the levels are the most fun levels in the series. I agree though that they need to revitalize the series with an actual new entry, with new planets and a new scenario. Throw in a gameplay gimmick like turbulent skies, or a windy star cluster, etc., and the series could be right back on track.
I purchased a Vita just a few months ago, and just last month I traded my OG Switch for Oled... Oh well. I couldn't wait any longer to get started on Trails in the Sky. Loving it so far!!
@Kirbo100 I even own Nocturne on Switch (and love it), but forgot about it. 😅 I guess I shouldn't post things in the morning before having caffeine. Still, as far new titles, I don't get it. Maybe it's because the transition to HD gobbled up the smaller teams? Before, we had Etrian Odyssey games, Persona Q, Multiple SMT games, and spin offs. None of them were ports.
Atlus Switch support is dismal. SMT V is exclusive, and we got a port of Tokyo Mirage Sessions, but when you look at the number of 3DS titles they offered it really makes me wonder what has happened with them, and why they haven't been seizing the opportunity to have their games on Japan's most popular console.

I don't know that anyone got one. I was there from the first minute after the tweet and the site wouldn't let me make the purchase (same limit reached error). I downloaded Twitter for this. I set the notification as a bird sound, so I would know what it is. There have been multiple tweet notifications a day for a couple of weeks now. I work nights, so they have been disrupting my sleep for days. One time my wife heard it and thought there was an actual bird in the house. And then all this trouble today... I'm pretty close to giving up.
Re: Reggie Thought Metroid: Other M Would Be A 'Defining Moment' For The Franchise
I'm generally pretty forgiving of games in a franchise that I like. I like Star Fox Zero, for example. But this game just completely misses the feel of the series, and botches a great chance to give Samus an interesting backstory. Sorry Reggie, jumping straight into gameplay would not help this one.
Re: Star Fox Character Designer Wants Nintendo To Port The Wii U Entry To Switch
If you took the time to get used to the controls the game became quite addictive, and although it still has its flaws, even without the control scheme, I actually feel that some of the levels are the most fun levels in the series. I agree though that they need to revitalize the series with an actual new entry, with new planets and a new scenario. Throw in a gameplay gimmick like turbulent skies, or a windy star cluster, etc., and the series could be right back on track.
Re: Poll: C'mon Then, Did You Predict The Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2 Delay?
A little more breathing room between Breath of the Wild 2 and Xenoblade 3 probably isn't a bad thing!
Re: Video: PlayStation Vita Apps Are Up And Running On Switch, Here's A Look
I purchased a Vita just a few months ago, and just last month I traded my OG Switch for Oled... Oh well. I couldn't wait any longer to get started on Trails in the Sky. Loving it so far!!
Re: Atlus Announces Soul Hackers 2, But It's Not Coming To Switch
@Kirbo100
I even own Nocturne on Switch (and love it), but forgot about it. 😅
I guess I shouldn't post things in the morning before having caffeine.
Still, as far new titles, I don't get it. Maybe it's because the transition to HD gobbled up the smaller teams? Before, we had Etrian Odyssey games, Persona Q, Multiple SMT games, and spin offs. None of them were ports.
Re: Atlus Announces Soul Hackers 2, But It's Not Coming To Switch
Atlus Switch support is dismal. SMT V is exclusive, and we got a port of Tokyo Mirage Sessions, but when you look at the number of 3DS titles they offered it really makes me wonder what has happened with them, and why they haven't been seizing the opportunity to have their games on Japan's most popular console.
Re: Random: Here's Steam Deck Running The GameCube And Wii Emulator Dolphin
I considered it! Then decided I would rather get a PS5 as a counterpart to my Switch. The Steam Deck is powerful, but not as powerful as a PS5.

I really want this... But how could I ever explain it my real waifu?
