Sadly, this game just won't sell anymore as its time on the hype train has long passed. I doubt it will ever see the light of day at this point. Maybe they can just drop it in the NSO Expansion Pack?
@BlackMayge Haha bro I just got finished with a surgery and am couch-ridden for 6 weeks minimum. Been using this time to get caught up on my games as well. Hope your procedure goes well!
Actually, just a few hours ago me and my three kids took our last shopping spree. Them with thier 2DSs and me with my New 3DS XL. It was really weird basically saying goodbye to the 3DS eshop forever especially since I got it right after my oldest child was born. Now she is almost 12! I remember playing with the AR cards while she was a baby on the floor. SUCH fond memories with the 3DS...
@NinjaNicky Oh man I didn't even think of that! I would be so pissed if the heroes in a half shell showed up in thier new dumb iterations! Give me the 80s live action designs! Haha. Yeah, I'd for sure break and buy those if it happened.
@Pikki I just can't believe they didn't do some JP skins a few seasons ago when they literally had raptors and dinosaur paddocks on the map! I was sure they would introduce the jeeps and at least a Grant and Malcom skin...
Not a DBZ fan but at least its not another freaking Marvel or DC character so I'll take it! Those bright orange gis will make for nice distance targets. Haha.
Crossovers I would hand pick that would he so awesome for squads:
Ninja Turtles
Power Rangers
Metallica
Jurassic Park
Lord of the Rings (Hobbits lol)
Final Fantasy (not just 7)
Anything Nintendo
@Specters Seems I hit some heartstrings for ya there, buddy. You might wanna sit down and breath for a bit. Its gonna be ok, I promise. I literally casually said this game looks too samey right now and I hate to tell you that a lot of people are saying the same thing. If it works for you, great. If they introduce something like an open world campaign or multiple towns or something that would be promising. But if this direct doesn't reveal a major new gimmick or gameplay modes, this series I fear will fall into being another Call of Duty or NBA2K. Same game with a new number on the box. I'm eager to see what they reveal but not overhyping myself.
I dunno...XC2 burned me so bad with its dumb character designs, poor Switch performance and bland environments. Played it for about 5 hours then had to sell it. I'm scared this will do the same. Can anyone confirm if it feels different than 2? (I really enjoyed 1 and X.)
Apparently 5 years is too soon because to me, it looks to be exactly the same game as Splatoon 2. The only reason I got 2 back in the day was because I knew the Wii U was dying and 1 would soon be irrelevant. If I saw 3 gameplay footage and nobody told me otherwise, I'd think it was either of the first games...
I knew something special was happening the moment I found myself playing Breath of the Wild on top of a Mayan temple in the middle of the Mexican jungle.
This poor, poor game. Nintendo being its totally weird self will 100% cause the game to be dead on arrival. Honestly, I bet the game will never be released. It'll just be bagged and canceled.
Darn...Nintendo has been a barren wasteland for so long for me. Thank goodness I have my PS5 keeping me busy because I doubt anything exciting will be here.
@Sarkos I'm in the same boat. LOVED Xenoblade Chronicles 1 but hated 2, mainly because of the terrible character designs. I just couldn't get past it. These ones look a little better, but not much...I'll probably pass.
All in the eye of the beholder, I guess. Nintendo has been completely dry for about a year for me and everything so far slated for 2022 I'm not interested in at all.
Kinda over this series from the direction its been going. I know I'm in the minority but I thought 2 was a train wreck. Bland environments, dumb character designs, and terrible technical performance. Gonna have to wait and see on this one.
Hasn't been anything interesting for me on Switch in it seems ages so I'm grateful I landed a PS5 recently. Strikers looks good though. Me and the kids might pick that up. Looking forward to some new hype from the summer Direct.
One word: GRIS. Not only is it one of the best games of last gen, but its message is profound. My friend is a family therapist and uses it in his practice.

Re: Nintendo Direct For Splatoon 3 Confirmed For This Week
@Specters That all sounds swell, but more like DLC or even a free update to me. Imma need much more than that to make the jump.
Re: Nintendo Direct For Splatoon 3 Confirmed For This Week
This is thier last chance to convince me that this game isn't just Splatoon 2.5. Looks extremely Meh so far.
Re: Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion Is Apparently Much More Than A Remaster, But Not A "Complete Remake"
Never played this one but I'm so burned out with FF7 I don't know if I'm interested.
Re: A Japan-Only Mega Man Game Just Shadow Dropped On The Switch (US)
If it ain't Megaman Legends, I ain't interested.
Re: Designing The Characters For Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Was Apparently 'Hellish'
The character designs are one of my biggest turn-offs for this game. Its just painfully generic anime tropes.

Re: Review: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - An Epic, Emotionally-Charged Masterpiece

Re: Bayonetta 3 Has A "Naive Angel Mode" For People Who Don't Want To See Bums
Does it have a mode that makes it actually perform well tho? Right now it looks like a PS4 game modded to run on a DS.
