Like everyone else, I think it’s charming and lovely. If the in-game bgm is similar to the trailer music, it could be one of those cozy little games you can play relaxed and chilling in a recliner or adjustable bed and a blanket. Definitely got my eyes on the lookout. As long as it’s not released friggin July 27!!
Rumor has it the Pro can use the touch screen and TV at the same time while docked, and you can play a game on the TV while you start your instapot and air fryer on the touchscreen.
@Alienfreaks04 I was about to say the same thing. I’ve seen it for $15 so many more times than $20. The first time I’ve seen it on sale for $30 actually.
How about they slow their roll and finish this release before talking about how the second one could be released (and definitely delayed on the Switch... AGAIN!).
Or maybe Sakuna 2: Let’s Duet Rice and Slow. A multiplayer where the one that only wants to farm can, and the one that only wants to explore can and gather resources.
@BloodNinja I can remember the name the great Mizuti; I swear they said the name so many times. Can’t tell you I remember anything about the character though. Lol I looked back at that game... it was beautiful... I don’t remember the story... and I’d NEVER play it again.
I beat Ys Origin and No Straight Roads this week, so now I just need to beat Dandara, and start playing Shining Resonance, Iconoclasts, and Luigi’s Mansion 3. Gotta get rid of this backlog before a new game.
@PJOReilly I probably will have the majority of what you can recommend, but give me 3-5 games on Switch that could curb the desire to play games like this. I just don’t want to be forced to pull out my trusty Vita to play Odin Sphere, which I may do anyway.
Doesn’t look all that fluid, and it seemed hard to read the screen when watching the video from my mobile phone. Not sure how much more legible is could be in the switch handheld screen.
Sucks for people I guess. I have no complaints, but I guess that’s because I want to play it early, don’t mind not having physical for this, would be busy during the week when released, and have disposable income. I also enjoy listening to the P3 battle music while fighting.
Shouldn’t people be getting the BB Cross Tag Battle deluxe edition for USD $25 (originally $50) since the $5 sale version doesn’t have all the characters?
I played the demo when they announced this on Switch:
“I played the demo... There's more flow in making combos in Wizard of Legend than this game, but not to compare this to another game. In general it felt real difficult trying to do combos, and there's this god awful sound effect that's not like a sword when using the necromancer sword. I also found it disappointing that I had to get rid of an item in an inventory slot for potion I was going to immediately use anyway. I feel I'm being a bit nitpicky, but all in all, I think I'll pass on this. Great concept though!”
I remember it being a HARD pass then. I’m not surprised by this score.
I didn’t realize the Battle Axe and Bladed Fury were under the same publisher! I just knew I wanted both! I’m kind of excited, but I already have Bladed Fury waiting in my Amazon list.
The combat could’ve been a bit smoother, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless. This is by far the only game I’ve played with a farming sim in it (minus Minecraft many years ago), and I’ve got to say I actually enjoyed that part. It made me put time in the game on some days where I just wanted to do some fighting or traverse the shrine, but hey, it got its hours in.
Scott Pilgrim! Double-dippin’. I can’t wait for the physical, so I’ll just get digital and physical. I can’t believe they re-released the digital for only $15 USD.
Day 1 and double-dipping to get the physical on Switch! I still listen to the soundtrack from Anamanaguchi. This is the last Beat 'em up I need to be satisfied... unless someone makes a phenomenal one in the near future.
I’ve always been a God Eater rather than a Monster Hunter, but Rise especially looked good, the controls were smooth, and the Palamut was a nice addition. Played the tutorial in handheld, and can’t wait to play the demo missions with friends.
Edit: Also the picture of the characters from MH:Rise on the article gives me Melanie & Militia (from RWBY) vibes.
I buy physicals so I have the freedom to do what I want with them. And it’s not like Switch/(3)DS are easily scratched CDs. If they went back to CDs, I’d probably be almost all digital.
From the industry standpoint, I think physical releases stopped being about physical games when they couldn’t release a game without a day 1-14 patch.
I typically play on normal. There’s nothing wrong with playing on easy though. There are games, like TWEWY, where I will play on high difficulty for high reward , but those are typically the games I’m putting in extra hours on.
I’d much rather prefer an experiment with something vibrant like Sunkist, or one of the Fantas than Dew. I don’t even drink Dew if it’s the last soda choice. It’s not even visually stunning. But Doritos and Dew official gamer noms? Really?!

Also, I got my Cousin God Eater 3 on sale so she can play with me.
Re: Black Isle Admits There Have Been "Issues" With The Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance Switch Release
@Ulysses Frankly, it could’ve been either... or both. Nonetheless, I have disposable income to impulse-buy, and rarely do I impulse-buy.
Re: Black Isle Admits There Have Been "Issues" With The Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance Switch Release
I was excited for this game to release when they stealth dropped it... they’re taking a while.
I don’t think I want it anymore...

Re: Anime And Manga Series 'Made In Abyss' Is Coming To Switch As A 3D Action RPG
Haven’t seen the anime, but it looks wonderful and fantastical. The game doesn’t look like my cup of tea, but the screenshots look beautiful.

Re: Review: Bladed Fury - A Pretty Yet Bland Hack-And-Slash Platformer That Lacks An Edge
I was sooo ready for this one, forgot about the release date, and then saw this review. Is it really that bad though?

This is very exciting and I never realized this was happening. Very generous indeed, and easily could’ve been priced, and I still would’ve bought it.

Oh my goodness. I haven’t had my 3DS out in years!!! Until now, just for the Spirit of Justice sale. It’s so cute and little!!

Edit 2: Apparently I bought the game some time ago and never downloaded it...

Re: Capcom Wants To Know What You Thought About Its Monster Hunter Rise Digital Event

Re: Kingdom Two Crowns Update Coming To Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night
Meh. It’s been over a year and a half since I picked up the game. Too many good ones popping up to want to pick it back up.
Re: Soapbox: Since When Did Physical Releases Stop Being About Physical Games?
I buy physicals so I have the freedom to do what I want with them. And it’s not like Switch/(3)DS are easily scratched CDs. If they went back to CDs, I’d probably be almost all digital.
From the industry standpoint, I think physical releases stopped being about physical games when they couldn’t release a game without a day 1-14 patch.
Re: Best Of 2020: There's No Shame In Playing On Easy, Even If You're A Pro

Re: Random: Finally, Someone Made Ramen For Gamers
