@Nintendofan83 Yeah I couldn't resist NBA2k19 for 2.99 i think it was. I don't even like NBA, but a good looking basketball game for that cheap was nice (though it is absolutely huge chunk on my 128 gb micro usb card)
@kepsux Personally I really didn't like Crypt of the Necrodancer art style, but once they added the zelda touch to it I was in. I'd much rather play the zelda version for more than the original personally.
Would be interesting if they did another Fallout spinoff a la Vegas, and made it with switch in mind. They can put it on others, but make sure it's built towards switch first.
@rex_rex I'll attest it's a fabulous game, the music is awesome. I die a lot and have issues matching the beat at time, but it doesn't stop it from being fun since it doesn't really penalize you for missing the beat, just rewards you more. Only thing is I've heard it's short, but i've put around 3 hours in so far, and haven't beaten first dungeon yet even. There's also replayability because new games mix up the map completely.
As long as the custom dungeons can be shared online I think it's going to be really good added content. If that's not something you can share online I think the 60 dollar price tag is a bit high.
@PorllM I actually believe the majority are probably over 18. Maybe back in the day it was a lower demographic, but I think that the demographic for nintendo is much higher than it used to be.
@PorllM I have a 128gb mem card and it still took up more than half of what i had left still not insignificant, however I couldn't resist at that price point since I don't have any sports games and don't mind having one for occasions.
@Jeronan Because they are probably using the same engine it should make it much easier to turn around a sequel quicker. Kind of like when Majora's Mask came around a year and half after ocarina of time because it used the same graphics engine. So hopefully that means we can see something end of 2020 or spring 2021.
Don't know what's with all the hate, this is a gaming website that mostly reports on nintendo related games. Personally I like that they report on more than just nintendo gaming, but I also own both sony & nintendo products. I don't own an xbox, but I still enjoy hearing about all gaming news in general.
@nessisonett Based on the applause all over the place even during things that most people were not happy with I felt like the entire audience was a plant!
I don't mind a couple leaks, but I do get sick of everything hype getting leaked in advanced. I'm definitely not sad that all the nintendo stuff hasn't been leaked out yet as far as I know.
I watched all of the smash tournament, and just caught the end of mario Maker 2 segment with the final level. I'm not much for the splatoon part, though I had it running I wasn't paying much attention to it. Overall I enjoyed most of what I saw though.
I still like physical, but this does make buying digital more tempting. However you are still forced to get 2 games to get the discount. This also all but confirms as most expected pokemon will be 60 bucks each.
Been waiting to hear news on these, I never played the grandia games, but always hear how good they are and been looking forward to picking this up to try it out.
only 1/3 are games i'd maybe play, here are lots of better options out there than Volleyball and whatever City connection is that i've never even heard of. All we can do is hope that SNES is dropping at E3 or at least announced as possibly rumored, though I already have SNES classic with most of those games to. At least if we get SNES the games are longer than the bite size nature of NES.
I think sword is going to be the more popular so I think i'll go shield. However might see announcements about the rest of the version exclusives first.
@LavaTwilight I believe the big thing is most of the other plug and plays that have come out have poor emulation so the games run pretty poorly on most of those, so this is supposed to be a step above those.
@leo13 Same was disappointed this morning to see the date change in the datamine .
Also for anyone that hasn't checked out Timespinner it's a pretty good Metroidvania, probably around 13 hours to get to full map completion. I kickstarted and quite enjoyed it on PS4.
@Bobb I imagine there is no refilming they will have to do, pretty sure it's purely going to just be redoing most of the CG work associated with Sonic.
@MsJubilee I agree I was like man that screenshot has a lot going on, but we'll see how it turns out since I like pokemon games I'll be giving it a shot.
@Rafke Do keep in mind each one is a little different, DS1 is more zelda/metroidvania like, DS2 has more of a Diablo loot mechanic to it, and I've heard DS3 is closer to a souls style game.
Capcom got lazy on this with no modifications, and only doing a digital version at 30 bucks. More than likely a lot of people will be waiting on a sale on this.
Disgaea is a series I really want to try getting into I've bought a couple games, but just have not spent the time to get into yet because I feel a little intimidated knowing how big/long the games can be. I do have Disgaea 5 for switch, and even have one of the games for my original PSP I no longer have.
Just waiting to get information on the exclusives, I think sword will be more popular so I think I might be going shield unless sword just has way better exclusives. I do hope we get a ton of info at E3 though, although I also hope we don't see every new pokemon beforehand. Lastly I hope there is no demo to give less chances of the whole thing getting datamined like before.
Eventually might pick this up and FFX when they go on sales. As good looking as the remake is, i'm really afraid of the episodic nature they are going for with it, and also afraid it's going to play nothing like the original.
Love this game and need to get back to it, had not gotten all the way through yet, about 3/4 through is best i've done on a run with about 15-20 hours played.
@Heavyarms55 This guy has been doing these for a long time before detective pikachu was even a thing, looks like they've been doing these different style ones since 2012. They definitely can be nightmare fuel for some of them, but still pretty interesting takes on what the mons would look like in real life.
