@Filthy I'm pretty sure on concepting stage you don't put that on the game at once. Because people do photobash a lot from what I read, and I actually didn't really hear that appearing down the pipeline, while it seems that AI generated asset can happen already (at minimum, there's one happening on expedition 33)

> Otherwise it’d leave lots up for interpretation and be all: ”Imagine this fantastical forest, but yeah all the cubes are glowing rocks, and the cones are trees. Don’t worry about the checkered floor, it’s actually going to be purple grass.”
You know that there's like, generic asset they can use, right? Or just make a sketch, if this is for the designer to show to the artist for them to have an idea how it will look like. Like, on which part do you mean?

If it's the beginning concepting, a sketch will be far better because you'll have it clearer in your head instead of fiddling with the generative AI, trying and hoping it will generate the right one.

If it's making the example maps already, what is wrong with just using free assets? And it's not like the generative AI is going to help here?

^Of course there's also this fact that the concept artists people already said that they don't find it helping.

> I don't mind it being used for concepts and placeholders, but final assets should never be genAI-created

Okay. Let's pick on this for a second. Why do we need gen AI for concepts or placeholders? ESPECIALLY PLACEHOLDERS. Concepts you can just go with stickman or something, you don't need to go super crazy--you just need to have enough that the artist/whoever got some of your vision and they can continue on. There's reasons why revisions exist in the timeline.

And placeholders. Why do we need gen AI'd placeholders? Won't it just make it hard to find out which one needs replacing? Having a placeholder be clear (like lorem ipsum for example, is wayyyyy clearer. You can easily find it because you know exactly what the placeholder was)

@HugoGED Ah yeah, I use both on their primary console (so both A and B are in the same console, and having that console as their primary).

@HugoGED I'm not sure what you mean since I can just play the digital games that was bought on another account just fine, and on the same console as well.

Granted, both have the same console as primary.

(So there's account A and B, and both have the same console as primary. And the games bought on B can be easily played by account A without issue, as long as it's already loaded in the system. You have to run it on B so it loads properly (the catridge icon on top of the icon changing to filled), then you can play it on account A without issue)

Love AoI so much although I only played for like, 3 hours so far!! The gameplay is great and the story is fun

I actually went and watched totk's cutscenes instead to get into AoI and no regrets lol

@LastFootnote They probably hard coded some stuff like how in Arceus there's no ability but Regigigas still have slow start

Tends to write for rpgsite

Already Preordered and just waiting for it to be unlocked, gosh it sounds amazing and my favorite reviewer also has very glowing words about the game. Had been hearing from people who already got it too and gooooooooooosh, sounds very fun. I can't wait!!

@LofiPie27 Sun Moon is pretty good, I think scarvio is pretty close overall with everything that happened in the story and I really enjoy everyone there imo

But yeah I hope ZA will be really good too

@LofiPie27 I do!! Kinda my main reason to play pokemon everytime lol. Scarvio actually makes me have hopes again after the disaster of SwSh

@MarcelM aww that's very unfortunate

At least I heard that Splatoon 3 is fun! Hope you have fun with the game! :]

@MarcelM You might be able to ask the customer support for help? I have seen a few people saying that they have to ask for a bit of game voucher extension for ZA so it can work (Although the refund is likely going to be into your eshop wallet instead of the bank). Hopefully you can get that working!

Dang mine isn't going live yet

Pokemon ZA!!! So excited Think that will be the last full release game I buy this year unless there's something wild happening

One of my most excited game to come! I have already preordered it on switch 2 so I just can't wait for it to just release already raaaah.

This trailer looks awesome.

Glad to hear the combat is great, which is what I'm most excited about. On the visuals, as long as the story's good then I'm more than happy camper (I don't care as much on visual issues)

Alpha Pokemon being shown to be there is REALLY good news though. Love them.

Because I want to play it and can't? Like, I have tried HK and I have to pretty much rebuy it on Steam just because the difficulty becomes too hard on the Switch system and the only reason I managed to finish that one is thankfully, the existence of mods on PC...

I wanted to buy Silksong on Switch 2 as well but like, without something to help curb the difficulty it became really difficult?

I'm not sure why people said that people will say it's easy game if there's options though, like, I'm 100% sure everyone still say celeste is difficult even if there's literally option to allow you double jump to infinity and no damage? But anyway, people will judge with the "normal" difficulty in general so I'm not sure what's the issue.

Edit: Also wanting to note is that, I want to play it and not watch it (it's a game, there's a reason it's more fun playing that watching, I"m sure you understand. And not everyone feels triumph on defeating hard bosses because like, I played AC6, which isn't too hard other than one boss at the end of chapter 4, which I can win against after hours of trying... and know what I feel? Relief I don't have to do it again. Not everyone got triumph, okay?

Already preloaded! i'm so ready to do hades 2... (I have been playing more hades 1 just to fill the time and got so much more dialogues)

I quite like this one since it's cheap and well... Trips. I'm going to put my switch 2 in a bag and this is the perfect thing to protect it inside than anything else, tbh.

Especially since I plan to have like, a mobapad controller down the line for better handheld play

SE continues doing the most baffling of decision, when they can just like, do stuff like Falcom? Like, why are they like this lmao

@abbyhitter @Pillowpants @N00BiSH this one is announced at the JP Direct, so I don't think Nintendo is intentionally omitting it

Hopefully there will be some sort of option in the settings to help with the QoL and some difficulty... I want to love HK but it had some issues for me

Ohh, this definitely looks neat. I want to give it a try, but hopefully it's more story focused than collectathon that I heard is how other lego games are (will be more than happy to be corrected on this though, since lego games are something I'm interested in)

How's the gameplay compared to stuff like Armored Core 6? That one mecha game is pretty much the one I managed to finish because it's just so good.

DxM first game was a bit too floaty and janky when I tried it last time :0

Hopefully it will have a demo!

@Sonicka very understandable feelings! I personally don't mind one whole city as long as it's fun to explore and that's not something I can say until I played it

Hopefully you'll enjoy it if you do get it!

@Sonicka At the minimum there's going to be either some changes to the map, or there's some other places to peek at (underground?) since we have up to Wild Area 15.

Leaning more toward changes in the map though.

I hope it won't be as hard as Arceus haha, but already preordered and all! Very excited about this game

I end up getting Astral Ascent

The fact they don't even give a hint on what the game is, is kinda why I'm hmmm ing on these leaking lol

it feels untrustable xD

Omg this looks so good... I wish the US eshop will get something like this (but no, we only get 100 pokeballs)

@Mariotag yeah ZA got upgrade path. I, myself used voucher for the Switch 1 version and then buy the upgrade so it's 60 and not 70 bucks.

Hopefully the Air Riders will be really fun!! I'm still uncertain about it so I'm waiting for more information (and also hopefully the price won't hurt too badly...)

Also agreed on hoping for a Kid Icarus Uprising remaster or second game or something haha. One of the best game on 3ds that.

Hopefully they'll introduce something close to this for Switch 2 :/ This has been really great for me whenever I want to buy a few Nintendo games...

@r0mer0 yeah... Steamdeck OLED, secondhand with 512GB here is around 480-500 usd here, so it's just awful as a choice.

I'll wait for steamdeck oled 2 at this rate for steam handhelds haha, especially considering how fiddly the other umpc in the market is.

@r0mer0 well... The issue is that there's some games I just want to play on handheld and I'm not compromising on that haha.

I'm regretting buying many RPGs on my steam for example because I just can't find it in me to play anything grindy there anymore even though it's far cheaper (i'm not paying in USD for steam).

I wish it's 5$ tbh, it feels like a far more palatable price point. Will I be happier if it's for free (or free for NSO member)? Of course, that means I'll get it for free.

But 5 bucks I still think is a reasonable pricepoint and so I'm waiting for that discount hopefully lmao

Gosh! I hope this is real. I have readied the money for it

@Solid_Python agreed so much! I'm not buying Time Stranger on Steam yet because I'm hoping it'll come out on Switch 2 and I'm feeling it'll be much better to be played there... Like gosh. Bamco please!

Or idk, Nintendo please announce a Direct aaaa

Have bought it on EA on steam but now will buy it on switch 2 (hopefully with cross save as well!) can't wait

It's really good but I'm not huge platformer fan... I'll wait to hear if I need some wild technique stuff like mario odyssey or not >_<;;

@antisumo gosh this is the time I wish I have steamdeck to play it! hopefully you can though, the game just feels right on handheld type of play haha

@tseliot pick what you think is fine with you! I was thinking on steam version since my laptop is more than strong enough, as well as like, can play again easily in the future, but the EAC makes me think it's best not to

For people who are looking to get it on Steam, remember to see that it will also install Easy Anti Cheat and you have to uninstall it manually once you uninstall the game. It changes my mind from playing on Steam to buying on Switch to be honest

I think it should still run smooth on Switch since Megaton Musashi runs ok from the little I played on Switch

Wizard of Legend isn't in the list as well :S One of my favorite roguelites I've played in my Switch. Kinda the one I keep going back to whenever I get the itch for rogue games

But that might change with Void Terrarium release soon...

If people wants to commission other people for a cool clothing, why blame them? There's a lot of SUPER nice outfit people have made and it's not easy, considering the limited palette and the whole shebang of the thing is in pixelart...

@Flammy The Switch version lets player pick whether they want to use midi or orchestra, although the demo only has orchestra as an option

@Alucard83 I think you also forget that Switch, even if touted as a Hybrid, in the end has everything housed in PORTABLE which always bump prices up. (Just compare laptop and PC and see how much the prices differ) I feel that Switch's prices are more than fair, remembering that GPD Win2 is around $800 or so and it's not that stronger...

@JamesJose7 Not a Fire Emblem fan and I think this is the most enjoyable so far! Great story, and the TRPG that I usually can't get into is finally something that isn't too bad. (Before I always see the trpg part of it is something that is always just tiring to do, but this one felt good)

@Lizuka while it's cheaper on the PS4, the Switch version has tons of QoL update and some content added for story as well. The most SE said about this coming to PS4 is they won't say anything for now as well.

Here's list of what they added: https://gematsu.com/2019/06/dragon-quest-xi-s-list-of-additional-elements-and-improvements-dlc-voice-drama-and-more-detailed

Astral Chain and Dragon Quest, my vouchers are ready for them!

I want to play these two so badly...
