You would have to think that it’s a safe bet that we’ll see a brand new Ace Attorney game launching soon?l as part of this strategy?

The remasters/bundles have done very well and really brought the series back into the light. A new starting point would do incredibly well.

No Gameboy Tetris included makes this a “skip until a deep sale.” Not having the most formative version included is really just unacceptable.

I played through both of the earlier Switch remakes over the past month. As a fan of 90s PC adventure games they really clicked with me. The tweaks to modernise that I found in the demo have been great base level improvements. I know this has a niche audience but as someone who has loved the remakes I’m really happy with what has been shown so far in the demo and can’t wait to get dug into the rest of the game tomorrow.

Any chance you could drop an email to Dark Horse publishing who did the English translations of all the previous books for a comment on if/when we might seat in the west?

Granted I’ve only played to the end of chapter 3 but the systems have been modernised quite a bit compared to the original remasters. Tbh the system improvements were what jumped out at me as the biggest improvement. The originals felt far more like 90s PC adventure games while so far the menu system seems to follow along with a more logical approach that doesn’t require spamming every option.

Still getting my way through the Apollo trilogy. Just about to wrap up the second game today and then onto the DLC case before Emio drops.

The Switch is really firing on all cylinders for visual novel/adventure games this past year or so!

Love the new updated graphical style on these two games. Feels closer to the update given to Apollo Justice rather than the hit or miss one given to the original trilogy.

I played the first two Famicom Detective Club games over the past few weeks. I’ve already preordered on the eShop and can’t wait to get stuck into it.

I’d be cautious about the direct comparisons to Ace Attorney. It’s got more of a 90’s pc adventure game flavour than those titles. That said if you like visual novels you’ll most likely enjoy these. They are genuinely some of the best looking visual novels and the stories of both earlier games were really outstanding.

Blow has been absolutely toxic online for years. His Twitter is a cesspit. Tbh I’m glad this has crashed and burned for him.

Braid was very solid but never deserved the level of praise it got. If it hadn’t been for Xbox Live Arcade putting eyes on it you’d really wonder would he have been successful with that first breakout game?

I got a copy of his Mario book a short while ago. It’s really very well done. The kickstarter campaign ran super smoothly and everything happened on time. I’ll be backing this 100%.

Played the demo on an original LCD Steam Deck and skipped buying it there as it felt like a perfect Switch game and I always default to Switch over Steam Deck for the better OLED screen. Will pick this up day one for sure.

Absolutely despise Roguelikes. It’s there alongside Live Service as a way to rinse as much repetition out of a piece of content as possible. This is such a massive hard pass from me. Incredibly disappointing considering how good the Splatoon 2 DLC was.

While I’m disappointed that OLED isn’t on the cards there has been a gigantic improvement in LCD screens since the original Switch launched. While not my preferred screen choice this may not be as big an issue as people fear.

Glad I have an extra Wii U and New 3DS XL that I’ve modded. Pretendo Network are hoping to be up and running for the April shutdown date which will hopefully allow online functionality to continue.

A modded Wii U comes highly recommended. It basically gives you the full history of pre-Switch Nintendo home systems in a single box. Plus if something isn’t on virtual console you can add it via the VC injector program. I got my extra Wii U for only €50 from facebook marketplace. Good deals to be found.

I have my copy preloaded and ready to go on release day on Switch! Very excited after reading this review.

Ended up having to get mine via AliExpress as the usual UK/EU spots either didn’t stock them or were sold out within mins. Its ridiculous how difficult they are to get a hand on.

I really, really want another hour long Ace Attorney deep dive on the new trilogy after it launches. Maybe even another video on the two Miles Edgeworth spin off games?

Ugh but Limited Run Games being involved in anything has rapidly gone from a mark of quality to a massive red flag.

This seems to be 1pm our time on Wednesday? Hoping for a live tweet or something similar as most of us EU people will be in work.

Pyoro has heavily suggested that Outer Wilds is coming tomorrow in a tweet before this event was announced.

There is no doubt in my mind that Twin Snakes is the version of MGS1 that holds up better in raw gameplay today. As much love as I have for the PSX original the quality of life and graphical improvements in TS make it a much more enjoyable game in 2023.

Just got mine directly from Nintendo this morning. Had the unlocks before they were even announced thanks to a pair of spoofed Amiibo coins I made. Glider designs aren’t great but the actual amiibo themselves are outstanding. Well worth picking up.

Everything about this looks awful. The tiny bottom screen and the overall design doesn’t make it seem like a good DS/3DS emulator at all. With the relative cheapness of original hardware and it’s easy ability to be modded I don’t see any reason for something like this at all.

Have such great memories of the GameBoy game when I was a kid! An easy purchase at that price point.

@JONOFTHEJONS I love your optimism! I have my fingers crossed here that we'll see it sooner than later. If we don't I imagine we'll see the 2 and 3 remasters at least before the end of the Switch lifecycle to prep us for MP4.

Honestly the lack of Level 5 in this week’s Direct was it’s only negative for me. So happy that they’re back and treating us to trailers later today. Everything on this list is a must buy for me.

Wow! That demo was really good! This came out of nowhere to jump to the top of my most wanted games in the next few months.

Really feels like this was a mistake. Going back to the JSR games on DC or OG xBox (or alternatively on Steam Deck) feels like the best outcome here.

The fact it’s a straight port rather than a remaster that could be botched like the GTA trilogy has me hopeful. The Digital Foundry review will be the deciding factor as to whether it’s worth picking up. Will be holding out on that before making the purchase.

The 360 backwards compatibility version on Series X is astoundingly good. Great art design means the higher rez and solid frame rate almost act as its own remaster. If it takes the same approach for these versions it has every chance of being great!

I absolutely loved this video! Thanks for sharing Felix!

I’ve bounced off FFXVI after a dozen or so very tedious hours so to get my JRPG fix I’m back on Dragon Quest V on a DSI I picked up this week!
