@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.
Wow! I love Splatoon but kind of fell out of it due to the TERRIBLE experience of trying to play online with friends. S2 I felt was a little samey to S1 so it didn't have a lot of longevity for me. S3 looks even more samey so I'm a tad nervous but dang...free October Expansion might for sure hook me back in for at least a while! Cool news!
I loved Chronicles 1 and X but Chronicles 2 really burned me. I absolutely hated most of the main cast, the super cute anime style and the bland environments. Not to mention the performance was trash. This one seems to be a bit better in every area though...I may keep an eye on it.
@KingMike Bro thats what I thought too! I LOVED Revelations on my GBA and thought this was it but it looks like a remake or something which I never knew existed!
Still have my Arrow of Light plaque. Haha. And I'm an Eagle scout too. Maybe Doug will convince Square Enix to port Chrono Trigger to Switch in my honor.
I've always been a believer in the 'play as someone other than Link' bit. I'm still thinking Zelda will be playable. But Breath of Duality definitely not the final title. Its just not clever or good in any way.
I hate how soulless the Switch UI is as much as the next person but I gotta admit...its pretty refreshing after eveytime I use my PS4 which is sooooooo laggy and terrible with menus and interface.
@Ontrevant Nah, I love strategy games. Just think the art style is butt ugly and the battle system was bloated and slow and the story was convoluted (based on the demos). Definitely in the minority here and again...just one guy's opinion.
Was hoping this would be the update where it would allow my phone to float in front of my face as advertised in the original trailer with Mario since that would be the only way to use it for chat.
Personally, this game looks terrible so far. The environments looks downright ugly and in need of some real polish. Looks like a PS2 game. I'm also baffled that pokemon still hasn't just incorporated a character creator. The male design here looks the same as the girl...

Re: Feature: How Video Games Can Be Brilliant For Your Mental Health
@dugan I know right? Its amazing. I listen to the soundtrack so much. I honestly think it has one of the best OSTs of all time.

I can tell you from experience...no Japanese house looks like that. Lol
Re: Splatoon 2 DLC Is Now Part Of The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack
Wow! I love Splatoon but kind of fell out of it due to the TERRIBLE experience of trying to play online with friends. S2 I felt was a little samey to S1 so it didn't have a lot of longevity for me. S3 looks even more samey so I'm a tad nervous but dang...free October Expansion might for sure hook me back in for at least a while! Cool news!

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Sonic The Hedgehog 2
I just want as many Jim antics as possible.
Re: Talking Point: 3DS Is 11 Years Old, And Our Eyes Still Feel Strange
One of the best systems of all time. The stereoscopic 3D still blows my mind.
Re: Rumour: A New Zelda: BOTW 2 Name Is Gaining Traction Online...

Trigger is my favorite game of all time after only FF9. I'm excited for Cross but didn't live it back in the day. JUST GIVE ME TRIGGER!

Re: Random: Um, Why Has Square Enix Re-Uploaded The Final Fantasy 9 Trailer?
@SmithJurd Well said. It doesn't need a remake and I'm afraid what SE would do to it.

My favorite game of all time. SE...why must you tease me so??

Re: Nintendo Provides Ten Useful Tips For Triangle Strategy
@Ontrevant Nah, I love strategy games. Just think the art style is butt ugly and the battle system was bloated and slow and the story was convoluted (based on the demos). Definitely in the minority here and again...just one guy's opinion.
Re: F-Zero X Joins Nintendo Switch Online's Expansion Pack Later This Week

Re: Chex Quest HD Exists, And It's Getting A Switch Port This March
I remember getting this out of the box and playing it a ton with my buddy in 4th grade. We thought it was the coolest!
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Triangle Strategy
This game should be shunned for its stupid name alone. Haha. They need to immediately fire the man who keeps naming these games.
Imagine if FF7 was named "Big Sword Guy Game".
Re: Poll: Do You Think Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Have Eye Issues?
Personally, this game looks terrible so far. The environments looks downright ugly and in need of some real polish. Looks like a PS2 game.

Re: Poll: Are You A Fan Of Nintendo Switch Online's Game Pass-Style Missions And Rewards?
