@Joeynator3000 Honestly I couldn't agree more, the 3DS games had much better collaboration DLC, especially MH4U.

I hope we get a local release because I'm really tempted to buy these as a huge DQ fan.

Thats pretty neat, at least not the entire industry treats their employees like slaves.

Well the Joker in MK11 wasn't voiced by Mark Hamil either as long as they find a good impersonator it should be fine.

The update should've just been removing the game from the switch eshop.

@Samalik In his defense demos aren't nearly as common as they used to be, nowadays you're basically making a gamble since more often than not, there is no demo in the first place.

@Not_Soos Smash may celebrate a lot of legacies of gaming but that's never been it's main purpose, it's a nintendo fighting/party game first and foremost, thats just something that the fans have coined.

Also a character "deserving" to be in smash in compeltely subjective, at the end of the day Nintendo adds who they want to (example corrin and Byleth despite not being that high demand, corrin releasing before they're game even coming out too).

Smash on it's own is too big to need ultimate, even before it came out it was still one of the biggest scenes in the fighting game community, with even some fanbases combined not standing up to it.

Personally I would love for the fat of ultimate to be trimmed out, a significant portion of the roster were just echo fighters with most of them just being reskins, I would much rather the focus being on refining on what we already have instead of trying to add more, one major problem I had with smash was it's garbage online, elite smash or just online in general was such a step down from for glory and for fun it's sad.

Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to knock on you for wanting a port of ultimate with enhancements, I'm just trying to be realistic and just pointing out what you're wanting is basically a wishlist and not on whats actually likely to happen.

And I'm perfectly fine with that, for the next entry they can focus on quality over quantity by prioritizing modes instead of characters.
I would love to have a smash game with both smash run and square strike playable online.
As for the roster I'd be perfectly content with a smash 4 sized one, while not as big as ultimates is a still a very generous and reasonable amount to ask for in my opinion.

Playing the demo for Dragon Quest Monsters The Dark Prince (or dragon quest monsters 3).
After I'm done with it I'll move on to the Star Ocean demo.

I hope it doesn't take too long for Netherrealm to add crossplay, at least for the good versions.

@Vortexeo Heavily agree, I miss the 3DS' activity log so much...

I mean this isn't surprising in the slightest.

I wouldn't call adding a postgame content that can be beaten in a couple hours at most going "above and beyond", especially in replacement to the features that were lost in it's stead.
Personally I found all the endgame content for the 3Ds pokemon games to be heavily mediocre, ORAS probably being the worst offender.
Thats why I immediately went back to XY or even SM once I realized thats all there was to do in ORAS.

@betterthanvegas I'll take a leveling curve anyday over content being cut out.
Besides the level curve not being fixed thats the only flaw I can confidently say those remakes has, I can't say the same for ORAS.

That would definitely be either HGSS or Platinum, ORAS would an example of how not to do a remake.

You know it's a shame that we never got a third version to this game.
Out of all the 3D pokemon games (at least on the 3Ds) I think that XY had the most potential.
There was a ton of good it brought to the franchises being the models, the refined online, megas and a lot more which makes it my favorite out of the 3D entries, despite it being very flawed.

@Lizuka Jeez really? So the only versions worth getting are the console versions, neither of which I have..

Ah thanks for the reminder, I been meaning on buying the PC version.

When physical media dies so does gaming itself.

Thats a disappointment seeing how much I loved the anime.
Dai can't catch a break it seems.

Once again it's the fans doing what the company refuses to do.
Can't wait til they get fan servers up for all the games Nintendo has dropped support for.

And this is why I always encouraged people to mod their 3ds.

@Blast16 For the switch version absolutely, don't waste your money on the worst version possible.
Get it on any other platform.

@Ironcore For nintendo fans it is.

He's probably gonna block all of nintendolife staff for posting this article.

Yeah even after this game gets updated I'm not touching the Switch version.
My best bet right now is to get the PC version.

@Krull Whlie I don't doubt the developers are being careful since this is one of the fan favorites of the most popular ip in Japan, I'm almost certain that this is another case of Square announcing games way too early.

Well it's better than nothing.
I just hope it includes the extra content of the previous remake.

Well this was a disappointing read, I get the sentiment that 60fps isn't necessary at all for a Turn Based RPG; and I would agree but this is only being thrown around for damage control.
You can go ahead and cherrypick other modern games that run at 30fps or other fallacies like saying "would you rather have x or y" implying we can't have both, but they don't hold any water.
Not to mention the switch still has it's fair share of 1st party games that run at 60fps and even 1080p like splatoon 2/3, mario kart, and ARMS and those games have much more going on than TTYD (I know some of these are dynamic resolutions but still).
I'm just going to ignore the pretend tech experts that try and defend this.

A modern console multiple times more powerful than the original hardware this game was on should be able to run to native framerate it was on in the very least, I don't feel like this is an outrageous expectation to have, especially when this seems to be a remaster, not a remake made from the ground up.
(If I'm wrong about this feel free to correct me)

But then again Nintendo fans will buy anything.

Imagine waiting months for this lol.
Better to just emulate it yourself

The solution is as plain as day but this seems to be the typical coporate nothing response so it seems that pokemon will continue to be mediocre.

Yeah this is the same type of mentality why pokemon will continue to stay a mediocre series.

"Maybe if we kept spending more money on this mediocre franchise and pray something will finally change!"

Yeah no thanks I'm not paying $35 extra for mediocre dlc on top of a mediocre full price game that barely functions.
Especially when there are a multitude of better alternatives to pokemon or just games in general.

The only way to really get at gamefreak is to vote with your wallet, but since pokemon fans will buy anything things aren't going to change soon.

Disappointed to not see Hero.
Looks like if I want him I'll be spending at least $40 extra.

This sounds like a feature that should've been available at launch.
Very disappointing how even with all the updates Splatoon 3 feels barren.

At this point in time I get worried when a developer gets bought out by a much bigger publisher.

Fossil Fighters

Yeah no thanks not in any rush to buy one of the worst controllers ever made.

@WolfyTn Yeah you're going to be disappointed if you expect the Switch Successor to jump to 4k lmao.
That's next level delusion.

I agree Nintendo is decades behind still but that expectation is a fantasy right now.

Honestly the lawsuit should've extended to the Pro Controller, while not nearly as bad the joycons the former is still at a risk of drifting and for both controllers Nintendo has done jack squat to fix either.

You can tell which courses are the Mario Kart Tour ones from how bland they look lol

Good, this is the best development studio Nintendo has by far.
Their revenue should honestly be higher considering they basically carry the Switch library.

Europe by far, it doesn't have any visual clutter like the NA version and the box art design actually has good art that gives you a general representation of the game unlike the Japan one.

It's way too early to decide for GOTY discussions right now, especially since the later half of 2023 also looks stacked.

To answer anyway though, I guess it would have to go to XC3 Future Redeemed since thats technically the only game I bought.

Ah so the NSO will stay garbage then.
Thankfully emulation exist.

While I like Sub Zero more, Scorpion being the theoretical choice makes more sense since he is the poster boy of MK.
Though I doubt he'll ever get in due to the bloody nature of MK as much as I'd love to see him in smash.

I honestly don't think the Mario Movie would've been as good as it was without Jack Black.

Would've been nice if it was in order of appearances in the direct or release date.

Kamek should've been a playable character ages ago.

I stand by the opinion that covid accelerated E3's death because it gave companies the idea of streaming their own presentations digitally, and they kept the trend even after the pandemic was over.

Still, I'm going to miss E3 - it was still a major staple in the gaming sphere that brought people together to look forward to exciting game announcements.
Summer games fest this year was fine but it won't ever capture the same feeling that it's predecessor did.

Goodbye E3, thank you for the memories.
