@FantasiaWHT It feels like they're battling Dangen more out of principle at this point for taking advantage of them. I get it. They poured their blood sweat and tears into Devil Engine. For someone to them take advantage of them has to be infuriating. At the same time, you have to learn your lesson, take the losses and move on. Lastly, I really can't stand that a company like Dangen who clearly has terrible business practices keeps getting new games/work. Really happy I don't have to work in an industry as seemingly toxic as the game industry is.
Let's not forget that the past two projects Retro did seemingly were canceled. So I wouldn't have much confidence at this point until we see something.
I'd love to see NintendoLife do a feature on the best remaining (realistic) games that could come to the NES virtual library. Past two months have been depressing, but I can't help but feel theres so much we're missing..
With that said - I want SNES and n64 like the rest of you.
I hope melee combat feels more satisfying. In the demo it was hard to tell if you even hit something as there was very little to no feedback you actually hit something with a melee weapon.
The environments are super sparse and while the character portraits and FMV sequences look really nice - everything else looks super dated.
I also played FEH daily for over 2 years but deleted it last night. It had sucked any joy I had in the game a long time ago - it just took a lot out of me to finally come to grips with that and deleting it.
Damn. Just needs Quackshot, Aladdin, MKII, Sonic and Knuckles, The Lion King, XMen and Strider to put it over the top for me. With 10 more games left to be announced I'm sure half of these will make it.

Re: Devil Engine Dev Says Publisher Dangen Still Hasn't Paid Them And Won't Return The IP
I've been holding off buying Devil Engine and all other Dangen connected games until this gets resolved.

Looking at you @Onionknight

Bought day one. Really been enjoying this. A lot easier than their previous games, but still enough challenge.

I have several in my wish list. Hoping for a sale at some point.

My guess is we'll soon get an apology for the apology
Re: Bravely Default Producer Apologises For End Layer On 3DS, Says It Didn't Live Up To Expectations
@Cevil Agreed. It was low on strategy and high on grinding

The answer is no
Re: Star Wars Episode I: Racer Is Getting Remastered For Switch
This is a fantastic game that deserves to be revisited or discovered for the first time.

Re: Talking Point: Is Nintendo Switch Online Good Value Compared To PlayStation Plus And Xbox Live Gold?
lol at all the people who voted for Nintendo Online having more value than Playstation Plus or XBox Live.

Re: Rumour: Wonderful 101 On Switch Teased (Again) By PlatinumGames
Those tiny cubicles don't look like a fun place to work
Re: Talking Point: What's Going To Be Nintendo's Big Game For Christmas 2020?
Bayonetta is NOT a typical holiday release type of game - not family appropriate. It would be best released in August/September like Astral Chain
Re: The Game Awards GOTY Is Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
"A surprising outcome"
Was it? It was an amazing game and there was ZERO chance a fighting game/Super Smash Bros was ever going to win GOTY.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Has Three Metroid Games In The Works, According To Leak Group
Nintendo is leaning pretty hard into these remake/remasters
Re: Feature: The Hall Of Shame – Games Or Series We Never Got Around To Playing
Some games are joys to complete and others feel like work. Super Mario Sunshine would fit in with the latter.
Re: Nicalis Investigation Reveals Tales Of Ghosting, Slurs And Mistreatment Of Staff
Explains so much why patches either never come or are extremely late for all of their switch releases.
Was already frustrated before hearing this and this just tips the scales - never buying a Nicalis published game again.
Re: Poll: Daemon X Machina Is Out Today, Are You Getting It?
Will wait for a heavy discount and then definitely pick it up.

Re: Nintendo Removing Credit Card Support From 3DS And Wii U eShop In Europe
I wonder what the reasoning is. Do those servers really cost them that much money to maintain?
Sales must have really fallen off a cliff for them to no longer be interested in making easy money.
Re: Random: Nintendo Posts About Mario Enjoying Sunshine, Internet Goes Wild
I can't wait for a lot of people to remember what this game was/is (realize that doesn't include everyone):

@HammerKirby Aren't we arrogant!?
Re: Random: Nintendo Posts About Mario Enjoying Sunshine, Internet Goes Wild
I love how people always forget that Mario Sunshine wasn't a good game
Re: Around Half Of The Metroid Prime 3 Development Team Is Still At Retro Studios
@Zorox88 Because Microsoft owns the studio and IP
Re: Around Half Of The Metroid Prime 3 Development Team Is Still At Retro Studios
Let's not forget that the past two projects Retro did seemingly were canceled. So I wouldn't have much confidence at this point until we see something.
Re: Soapbox: Sorry Nintendo, Joy-Con Drift Means I Won't Buy Switch Lite At Launch
Exact reason I won't buy a Switch Lite at first.... despite being very interested.
First generation hardware typically has flaws.
Re: Video: Daemon X Machina Has A New Japanese Trailer For You To Gawk At
Still no word on if the frame rate improved...
Re: Rewind Feature And Two NES Games Are Coming To Nintendo Switch Online In July
I'd love to see NintendoLife do a feature on the best remaining (realistic) games that could come to the NES virtual library. Past two months have been depressing, but I can't help but feel theres so much we're missing..
With that said - I want SNES and n64 like the rest of you.
Re: Samantha Robertson Leaves Treehouse And Moves Into A New Role At Nintendo
I think Audrey comes across as incredibly insecure. This results in her just being rather painful to watch.
Samantha was great and seemed to have great confidence in who she is. Promotion was well deserved.
Re: Daemon X Machina Trailer Shows Off "Major Improvements" From Demo Feedback
I really enjoyed the demo - warts and all. The level of customization is exactly what you want in a mech game like this.
On the downside, melee combat was near impossible to tell if you actually hit anything. No health meter - no sfx - no visible cues.
Glad to hear they slightly corrected this, but in my opinion didn't go far enough.
Re: Buy Fire Emblem: Three Houses On Switch And Receive Byleth In Fire Emblem Heroes
FEH is dead.
Started off strong - by the second year it was just non stop power creep and inordinate amounts of busy work.
Re: Preview: Astral Chain Is The 2019 Switch Game Everyone Should Be Talking About
The detective part sounds like it would get really old fast - especially on repeat play throughs.
Re: Fire Emblem: Three Houses File Size Revealed, DLC Also Confirmed
This easily looks like the worst FE yet.
Seems like there are a ton of extraneous systems that won't add to the enjoyment - just busy work.
Re: Review: Collection of Mana - Expensive, But Ultimately Worth Every Penny
The one thing from the direct that got me excited outside of a new zelda game thats likely 2-3 years out from release.
Would have been a day 1 buy with a price tag in the $20-25 range.
Re: Competitive Multiplayer Will Come To DAEMON X MACHINA Post-Launch
I hope melee combat feels more satisfying. In the demo it was hard to tell if you even hit something as there was very little to no feedback you actually hit something with a melee weapon.
Re: Review: Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth - The Last Picture Show
'if you haven't sold off your 3DS'....
never understood the practice of selling off your systems for the small bit of money it brings back.
Re: Square Enix Has Just Filed A Trademark For Collection Of Mana In Europe
Would have me soooo hyped!
Re: Natsume Announces Harvest Moon: Mad Dash For Nintendo Switch
Sounds like an Overcooked version of Harvest Moon.
Re: Famitsu Features New Details On Upcoming Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Just wanted to note that this game is using the Dynasty Warriors gfx engine by Koei Tecmo. Hence the reason it looks like a Dynasty Warriors game...
Re: Famitsu Features New Details On Upcoming Fire Emblem: Three Houses
The environments are super sparse and while the character portraits and FMV sequences look really nice - everything else looks super dated.
I also played FEH daily for over 2 years but deleted it last night. It had sucked any joy I had in the game a long time ago - it just took a lot out of me to finally come to grips with that and deleting it.
I'm moving on, but hope you all have fun!
