@AlexanderDaniels I love how Nintendo can't actually sue them because they are using cards and Nintendo only specifically patented throwing a ball to capture/summon a creature XD
Pretty disappointing direct, ports are nice but I was really looking forward to announcements of new games.
Also, a lot of the most interesting stuff was only in the Japanese direct, which I don't understand why, because most of the games announced there are coming to the west too.(As a matter of fact, OPUS: Prism Peak announced its international release date in the japanese direct, no reason for that game to skip the western direct)
People is actually shock at Square Enix struggling to have a PS5 game running at 30fps on a weak-ass console? FF 7 Remake was a PS4 game and it only runs at 30fps on Switch 2.
It's kinda sad that this will probably be the last entry considering it's coming out in very packed season and it doesn't seem that it'll have the same impact as the original.
I hope this doesn't discourage Square Enix from keeping investing in the studio.
Why are you guys so shocked about the game running at 30fps? That's is pretty much the norm for Switch 2 games and this is the same performance as the PS4 version.
This is cool, I was getting tired of Konami forcing you to pay 50 bucks for Bomberman - I just want to have some quick fun with friends, 20 bucks is a more appropiate price.
@Discostew "It's like they are leaving something out. They don't have to quote the guidelines (which could be under NDA, I dunno), but nothing says they can't talk about their own game."
Nintendo pretty much said that they just tell devs to ***** off and don't disclose why a game is rejected: "We also do not discuss specific content or the criteria used in making these determinations."
@conditionals Both the devs and Nintendo itself have stated that the game didn't meet Nintendo's guidelines, so it's pretty clear that this 100% Nintendo's fault.
The devs very likely just used the japanese version for the international release because that one was already censored so there was no need to make a different censored version.
I don't get why people interpret this as Nintendo and AdHoc blaming each other. Nintendo is pretty much admitting that they told the studio to censor the game.
They are just choosing to highlight that they didn't tel them what parts of the game to censor, in order to reduce the backslash. It's corporative talk at it's finest.
I hope it's not as mediocre as the first movie. But the fact that I barely know anything about the direction of the plot after two trailers tells me that it'll another barebone, rushed plot with a lot of references. I think I'll wait for the movie to come to streaming services this time around.
@Otimus "Sony and Microsoft are both in better positions to do that'
No way Xbox is in a better position than Nintendo XD Also, Nintendo probably cares more because they are the only company that isn't going third party yet.
@UpsideDownRowlet Honestly those scenes of Kris ripping the soul out seemed edgy and an unnecessary in hindsight if you are doing a non-genocide route.
A lot of people saying Metroid Prime 4 is underrated, but I'm 100% it'll be one of those games that people will say it's not that good once the honeymoon is over.
@Lizuka "including overly long, dull videos where he just rambles on and on barely actually saying anything about the game, not to mention his, "Here's why I'm so great," Youtube series. Guy strikes me as someone who thoroughly enjoys the sound of his own voice and wants himself to be a brand."
Or he just like to talk about videogames and game development...
"Seriously? Out of all things you want to complain about this game it’s “NPC doesn’t move around” as if that hasn’t been a thing for several Pokemon games in the series. It’s up there with “why no voice?” of complaints."
WTF? Voice acting is an extremely common feature in modern JRPGs. I guess it isn't enough for you that the franchise is stuck with n64 texture, lol.

Re: Nintendo To Change Pricing For Digital & Physical Switch 2 Exclusives, Starting With Yoshi
@JR150 Unless you are Nintendo, Valve, Playstation or Xbox, digital games have pretty much a similar cost "to produce" to physical games.
Re: Nintendo To Change Pricing For Digital & Physical Switch 2 Exclusives, Starting With Yoshi
Nintendo normalized $70 games so quickly that people is actually believing that a Yoshi game being $60 on digital is actually a pro-consumer move XD

Re: Pokémon Winds & Waves Will Be Released "Exclusively" For Switch 2
@JohnnyMind The hardware was not holding Gamefreak back, they just suck at optimizing their games.
Now, they are using the extra power to finally get Switch 1 visuals.(At 30fps thou XD)
Re: Pokémon Winds & Waves Announced For Switch 2, Launching Next Year
Holly cow, the actually actually looks good.
They only need to add voice acting to finally catch up with the Wii U.

Re: Square Enix Is Making Changes To Its New HD-2D Game Based On Demo Feedback
@Friendly basically one game per year, which kinda is "done it to death". But the biggest problem is that they looks practically identical.
Ps: FF tactics: the ivalice chronicles is not HD-2D, and honestly I wouldn't mind more remasters like that one instead of HD-2D remakes.
Re: Square Enix Is Making Changes To Its New HD-2D Game Based On Demo Feedback
@DiamondJim HD-2D would be much better if they toned down those damn post-processing effects.
Re: Review: Hollow Knight (Switch) - One Of The Finest Metroidvanias That's Not A Metroid Or 'Vania
