I hope no one's going around saying that it's too short of a time. That's half a decade. That's longer than the different between the releases of the Wii U and the Switch. That's literally a full console generation.
Didn't we have doom and gloom for big Nintendo Directs only for them to come back again and embarrass all of the naysayers and false prophets before? I don't know why people still think they are going away. Directs are such a good idea that there are STILL companies falling in line and making their own direct-style events, both Sony and Microsoft included.
@PtM I'm making the connection of erotic media to erotic media in a moderately jocular manner. You seem to be taking me a bit too seriously, no offense. I just let the naughties out there have their naughty material and let it be.
@PtM What do we call $1.325 billion at the box office for the 50 Shades movies? Give the ladies and the BGTQ+ the naughty that they like and they'll go for it. Maybe they'd be into some man-massaging.
@Savage_Joe The pearl-clutchers are at it again. It is fun to see people fight about stuff that doesn't interest them. I wouldn't play this game either, but it also doesn't bother me.
@PtM It would definitely have lower interest overall, but these types of games don't seem to have high sales either. They are for the men of culture after all, of which there are few. ππ€£
Edit: Don't forget our LGBTQ+ friends of culture as well. And the ladies of culture who would be down for some man-massaging. π₯΅
I'm happy for this. I loved those shorts we used to get on the 3DS. The Kid Icarus ones were my favorite, though I don't think that was this same company.
@Yas There are definitely worse games on the Switch. And if you think there is not a market for massaging beautiful men, you better think again. Just because the game doesn't exist currently doesn't mean there's not a market for it. There's a reason those smut books like 50 Shades and 365 Days sell so well. Just because you don't want to make a beautiful man moan in bliss from a massage doesn't mean that the ladies and some of our LGBTQ+ friends don't want it either. π
@Royalblues I gave the Dark Souls demo on Switch a shot and Bloodbourne a few years ago. Coming from a big Monster Hunter fan, the Soulslike games aren't for me. I can't put my finger on it, but I just couldn't get into those games.
I'm somewhat interested, but the moving animations looked a little wonky and non-grid system alludes me. I'm wondering how much this game is going to be because SE keeps putting what I would consider budget titles in the premium bracket.
The Xbox is outselling the PS5 in Japan!? π± I know it's still an uphill battle for Xbox Series that it'll never win in Japan, but at least it's doing better than the XBO did. Also, the Switch is still eating up the top 10! I love to see it.
I saw Puff Pals: Island Skies in the thumbnail and I had to comment. That game is the most adorable thing I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. I'm hoping that it is as awesome as it is adorable and that it is at least more fun to play than late-game ACNH.
@Fizza I was thinking the same thing until I mistakenly saw one of the supposed leaked images from a new game. If it is real, I hope it's story is a little more cohesive than Three Houses.
@ATaco @JasmineDragon I was going to say the same thing. Stardew Valley is great but it looks mighty similar to FoMT. I actually like the FoMT art style and character models more. Looking at older shots of this game, the only similarity I've seen is that the wooden walkway looked similar. The fences, buildings, animals, etc. looked a lot different from SV to me.
@iLikeUrAttitude @Rhum17 You giys took the words right out of my mouth. The Switch is doing fine, great even. Why should we expect Nintendo to mess with its own success?
We've seen the Switch run all sorts of games and we've seen what this game is supposed to look like. If it "can't run" this game, that's solely on the developers.
GF knows what there doing. The champions, professors, gym leaders, and even some members of the evil teams have also gotten better looking over the years.
If one minor change in a so-so board has garnered this much ire, I can't wait to see the paragraphs long think pieces we will get about the other 47 tracks.
Hehe, sounds like part-timers salty about not being full-timers. That literally the norm in the US, so I'm not sure what they were expecting. It's difficult to get full-time work where I am, currently part-time myself, and we don't get anywhere near as many accommodations as the full-timers. Staff parking, wages vs salaries, benefits, etc. You can't expect full-time treatment as a part-timer and you can't just sit around and hope a full-time opportunity presents itself. If it is not presenting itself, then maybe it's time to move on. Don't make exaggerated claims that may hurt your employment prospects in the future.

@Poco_Lypso Ah, I see what you mean. I was responding to the above comment about the first Dark Souls being on Switch.

Sounds like Monolith Soft has another masterpiece on their hands. We're only three weeks away. π

Re: NieR:Automata For Switch Handled By Nintendo Port Specialist Virtuos
I'm still holding out hope that they are bringing Tomb Raider to the Switch as well.
Re: NieR:Automata For Switch Handled By Nintendo Port Specialist Virtuos
@Royalblues Unfortunately it's just the first one, while the trilogy came out the same year on other consoles. π₯²

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Special Edition Pre-Orders Have Gone Live, Did You Get One? (US)
I really do hope that they never do this again.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Special Edition Pre-Orders Go Live June 30th (US)
@Kogorn733 Same here! I even got the special edition of XCX for the Wii U. I just didn't want to miss out on the artbook.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Special Edition Pre-Orders Go Live June 30th (US)
I FINALLY GOT MY PREORDER! It took about 2 hours of waiting to get in once I got home from work.
Re: Here's How Much Nintendo's Directors Made This Year
@Gofixmeaplate It's from one of the PokΓ©mon Scarlet and Violet trailers. The first trailer, I think.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Special Edition Pre-Orders Go Live June 30th (US)
This preorder method is the worst.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Special Edition Pre-Orders Go Live June 30th (US)
I've been stuck in the lobby all day. Finally got through to a "Releasing in TBD" grayed out preorder bar.
Re: Here's How Much Nintendo's Directors Made This Year
That's what it looks like when the money is invested in the company and its employees rather than the executives.

Re: Video: We Haven't Had A Nintendo Direct Yet, But That's Fine
Also also, does Nintendo have some vendetta against Geoff Keighley and Summer Game Fest? They don't seem to care about SGF at all.
Re: Video: We Haven't Had A Nintendo Direct Yet, But That's Fine
Also, I'm in camp 29th direct because of that FE leak. Not 100% sure, but I'm hoping.

Re: A Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Direct Will Be Airing This Wednesday
I think we may still get a general Direct next week. I think they are waiting until afrer FEW Three Hopes to release so they can reveal a new FE game.
