Why doesn't this include PC sales?

The game is a little overrated, but it's still an interesting walking simulator. It would be better if it was shorter.

So... Is this one finally as good as the GameCube and n64 ones?

To be fair, other than the title, it doesn't looks like a Mario Striker Knock-off. Too barebone to resemble Mario Striker.

"I want everybody to be able to play on Xbox and it does mean more of our games shipping on more platforms"

WTF? That logic makes no sense XD

@Lizuka Technically the female characters are basically half of playable cast, for the male ones you only have Mario, Luigi and (two colors of)Toad, the rest are easy-mode characters. I don't know how many fans Toad has(and the iconic red one isn't even one of the options), but the male characters are a little bit disappointing in comparison to the female ones.

Honestly, I don't get why Nintendo invest a lot of time creating those easy-mode characters when they could just create an option to toggle lives off. I think this is a textbook example of re-inventing the wheel.

It's a little bit annoying that Sega rarely give us updates of the sales of their games. Other than reaching the million within the first week, we don't know the sales of Like a dragon Infinite, Persona 3 nor Metaphor Re:Fantazio.

@Erigen Psychonauts 2 was released on Playstation because the game was first funded on Kickstarter and they had to fullfil the promise of a playstation version. They later ended up making the next gen update exclusive for Xbox Series X/S.

@liljmoore I doubt it, they own Donkey Kong but they seem not to know how to make a new 3D entry, as a matter of fact, they don't seem to know what to do with the franchise other than selling remasters at full price XD

"One of the most influential RPGs of the last 20 years"

Is it really that influential? .-. I think I've only seen a couple of obscure indie games inspired by Off.

Pss: "Last December, it was announced the QUIRKY RPG off"
Ah! Ah! he said it! he said the thing!

@Erigen The whole "Xbox doesn't have an audience that would care for a new Banjo Kazooie" argumment is dumb when they funded Psychonauts 2 and Ori and its sequel, and all their games are also released on PC and Gamepass day 1.

Honestly, I could never get into Mario Galaxy; I just plain didn't like Mario's physics, he is too sluggish. Astro Bot and Crash just feel better to play.

@siavm "If the ori developers want to try they maybe able to make something but good luck with getting Microsoft to fund that."

Bruh, Microsoft was the one that funded Ori XD The studiowas the one that decided to no longer work with Xbox, because according to the CEO they wanted their next game to be multiplatform.

"could rival 3D Mario and probably sell similar numbers."

Lmao, Banjo-Kazooie couldn't even do half of the numbers of Mario 64 and Banjo-Tooie sold even less. Mario is just plain unbeatable, not even high-quality games such as Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, Rayman Legend nor Crash 4 were able to outsold the wii u version of Super Mario Bros U XD

I still know more about the console from leaks than from the reveal trailer XD

Wow, This leak looks so official!

@TheSaneInsanity Weren't Princess Peach Showtime sales low in comparison to other Mario titles?

@8bit-Man Psychical games are technically also just a license.

Would buying n64/GBA games really be that expensive as people claim? Sony currently offer their PS2 and PSP games for only 10 buck, and that's without considering the fact they can go on sales. Sega also had Sega Genesis games at 1 dollar on Steam before delisting them and stating their interest in subscription services...

You also have doom 64, which is sold on Steam for 4.99 and it's usually 1.24 on sales. I think people is just gaslighting themselves into thinking they don't need to have options.

@ScalenePowers But A Hat in Time and Undertale were released before the Nintendo switch generation .-.

Also, by the time Persona 5 was ported to Switch, almost every JRPG was already coming to the console, and then the Nintendo Switch ended up not receiving Persona 3 Reload. So...I don't think a late port of a re-release of a PS3 game really defined the console.

It looks like the console was unofficially announced XD

As a PC/home consoles supremacist, I had never thought about that... Do you guys really use handheld consoles while standing up like the dude in the picture?

My favorite Ys game, I was hoping Ys X was a return to shorter entries.

Honestly, I was disappointed when he cancelled his previous project years ago. It looked pretty interesting.

Thou it looks like Mufasa actually beat Sonic 3.

Cool, best Ys game is arriving to Switch.

They probably have the same amount of progress that they had for Bayonneta 3 when they first announced it, that's, they most likely only have the material for the teaser XD

It's going to be tough to wait until 2028.

I'm still waiting for Banjo Kazooie. It's wild that no one has ported it yet despite of the decompilation being finished.

It's cool to see the GOTY(Astrobot) being the best-selling playstation exclusive. I hope that send a message to Sony.

@dequesi "I wouldn't want to leave this game anywhere near a 6 year old, German or otherwise..."

I doubt a 6 years old can play a visual novel XD

"Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat"

It looks like that title didn't age well XD

@John_Deacon Metacritic does what it says on the tin, people just get so unreasonably butthurt by an aggregate score site. It's overall a pretty useful site to use from time to time.

Farewell, grandfather of JRPG

@Spider-Kev GaaS = Game as a Service

GO GaaS GO BROKE!

YIIk: A Postmodern RPG, I'm eager to witness a studio pulling a no man's sky.

Honestly, HD-2D is just plain inferior to 3D graphics, people only ask for HD-2D remakes because they don't believe that companies will do a good job with a more ambicious type of remake

A Chrono Trigger remake would be way better with 3D graphics, because some 8-bit pixels wouldn't do justice to Akira Toriyama's artstyle. I don't even know what's the point in using pixel art nowadays, they were supposed not to look pixelated in old TVs.

Also, that Bloom effect that square Enix use is awful, and makes all HD-2D games looks soulless.

First the suing for patent infringement and now this, Nintendo is fully turning heel this year.

It looks like Fantasian flopped in Japan, which is surprising considering it's an old-school JRPG.

@Bigmanfan I don't know, it has a low user score in Metacritic and a 55% on Steam.

I like the BAFTA awards, they are like a more serious version of The Game Awards. Thou, it's suprising to see Call of Duty nominated .-.

@Astropez Weird, in the JRPG subreddit where I'm, this game is often brought up as an example of how to make a hood Indie Retro JRPG-inspired game. It's seen as Sea of Stars but good.

Kinda sad that a good performance on Switch has to be a positive point, it's as if people expect every multiplatform game to run like ass on switch, even if it's a remaster of a PS2 game.

It looks like every game is trying to pull off a No man's sky nowadays, even the infamous YIIK: A Postmodern RPG just released its own massive update.

Going back to Yooka layle, I hope they improve the placement of the feathers, unlike Banjo Kazooie, they weren't placed to guide the player through the levels.

@VHSGREMLIN Well, you can play them without tank controls now.

Who unironically want to play Shenmue 3? .-.

This is just what they always do when they are focusing on the next console, they were also supporting the 3DS for a while with ports and minor releases.

@Dee123 The Wii and the Wii u ruined the reputation of Nintendo among third party studios.
