Think and Haru getting the short end of the stick while kasumi and makoto are close to the top is funny. Both of them have their entire story centered around other people, but at least makoto's terrible stealth skills and her reactions when you talk to her made her a little funny.

I really am trying tough to see what it is about makoto though, I've played royal twice as well as strikers and she's afraid of the dark, that's all I really know.

There have always been 3 games from late 90s early 2000s I always wanted modern updates for. Skjee of arcadia since I never played it, Breath of fire 3 since it's still one of the best RPGs to me (Capcom was really on another level in the 90s) and threads of fate because squaresoft was also on another level in the 90s. I could probably throw vagrant story and final fantasy tactics in there too since I remember getting them on the same day and not liking either at first but turned out to be some of the most unique experiences I've had gaming.

@Ganner Why should it die just because you can't it being an option? It works fine in most cases everywhere else but the switch apparently.

When they first announced it, I went right into the eShop (got about 13 dollars I'm not sure when some expires and Zelda still isn't available) and didn't see Bayonetta in there. Hopefully this game actually was the Bayonetta game I was waiting on because 3 wasn't really fun to me at all compared to the previous 2.

@daveMcFlave If you've been playing Elden Ring I wouldn't too much suggest playing a lot of other open world games. They all have a lot of the same problems, which for me at least, are lack of verticality despite being open world and sometimes with powers and too much goin on on-screen, Elden ring broke away from that a bit so it feels a lot more refreshing. Spider-man and BoTW are the only other games that broke out of those confines.

When I first got a glimpse of Xenoblade (not sure which one but it was around 2014 so probably X) I wasn't all too impressed. Mostly because it was on the Wii U when I didn't have the disposable income to buy it and I was still salty about xenosaga being cut well short of the original planned length.

Then I got the 2nd game on the switch (weird starting point maybe) and absolutely loved it, so I have 1 and 3 that I haven't actually started yet because I was burned out on jrpgs at the time I got them, but would love to be able to play all 3 on the switch.

Intended to start finally while I was on vacation in Florida in august but somehow got entranced by bravely default 2 instead, I know I'll get around to them soon though, hopefully with news Xenoblade X is coming.

@AtlanteanMan Nobody has done less with more, Konami has done more than Sega over these last 10 years to you? What about Activision who used to publish upwards of 20 games a year to only making call of duty games almost exclusively?

@EriXz I mean, we all know Metroid isn't going to pull Pokemon numbers, it hardly comes out, this is like the 10th or 11th Pokemon game on the switch.

I mean I get it people like Nintendo games and stuff, but I really can't fathom why anybody wastes their time making passion projects just for these fools to strike them, I mean they know it's coming so in that regard I'd just play the game and Nintendo can f off after I'm done with it, can't show "love" or "appreciation" to a company that only sees it in one shape.

@Pod You could always switch them to top down view... Just tossing this out there in case you were considering it when they go on sale.

Idling or not I'd have gotten tired of looking at the game by the 1000 hour mark. I only have one game with more than 500 hours and most of that was from me idling, I stopped playing it for the most part and only login for the daily.

I do wonder why the Ps4 really track game time, the Xbox and the switch both have ways to check easily. I mean I guess if you're playing an RPG you can tell by the save file, but otherwise you probably need to wait for your PlayStation wrap up stats to be emailed.... they even congratulate you if you get a ps5 (the one that does track play time).

Fall off seems about right, the majority of people buying this probably never played it (like me despite owning a wii, gaming was my last priority at the time) and die hard Zelda fans that just buy all games in the series to add to their collection.

Somebody help me out here please, does this game tie into the first one at all in a way that would require prior knowledge in order to actually get the story here?

I hate the level 9 CPUs because they seem to run away from you a lot unless there's like 3 or more of them to jump you then they wanna go all in... it one of them actually wants to fight I guess I gotta knock him out.

Having never played any of these games I'm a bit wary on if I want to jump in, but also having bought persona 5 twice, I probably owe it to myself to finally jump on board here too.

I hope this is real if only to see what it would look like... but I also heard something about Microsoft making a device similarly too, so who knows.

Stories like this are why I try to have as little interaction with fanbases as possible, I loved all the Metroid games that came out when the primes were around (Metroid fusion being the one I liked the most), but I'd never harass somebody for saying I may not get to play them again any time soon, this serves no purpose.

@johnvboy I don't know what your talking about they won't drive sales, Bayonetta maybe, but the other 2 are highly anticipated games that can easily sell the system to people that haven't gotten one. One's a direct sequel to one of the highest-selling switch games already out and the other finally has Samus back to bounty hunting instead of knocking fools off platforms.

@Rect_Pola It'll probably still be considered in the same family like the game boys and the switch lite.

I'm just imagining how the sells will jump when we finally get Metroid prime 4, Bayonetta 3, and BoTW 2, I got the switch because the former 2 had been announced 4 months before I got it. We haven't even heard anything about any of them in years though.

I'd say that kid made the right choice, when I think of all the pizza I could have gotten instead of the switch and the games I bought for it over the last 3 years I could have made several cross country trips with stops at Pizza joints along the way. I think I may have just hit the point in life where I'd rather enjoy a good meal over playing a game which is kind of funny.

This is the type of game that would greatly benefit from an actual sale that Nintendo is so reluctant to do, was going to buy the game at launch but something about the demo didn't quite click with me so now I'll just wait for the year it finally drops after the switch stops being sold (probably 2023).

@Riku3456 How would they make it an option in the future if they never begin to lay the groundwork in the present?

Seems like all the game soundtracks wind up on Spotify, too bad Spotify routinely finds itself being a service I never want to use.

Hmmm, game gears, neo Geo pockets, that one Nokia n Gage phone, and PS Vitas must have been forgotten over the course of history. The back alone looks nothing like the switch since it's got a better ergonomic design.... but tencent, stay away please.

Are Zelda and Pokemon really just the beginning? I mean Pokemon did get acknowledged by both a new game and 2 (hopefully the last) remakes, but Zelda got a skyward sword remake everybody knew was coming, a toss in about some joycons and no other news so far.

@OnlyItsMeReid Surely you meant jrpgs, because the Xbox has never lacked for RPGs in general, when the 360 came out they were even doing a heavy push for jrpg games that just started getting remastered and released on the ps4 and switch recently.

@Spoony_Tech Lol this comment cracked me up, because I was thinking about recommending a friend try out project triangle and was going to suggest maybe trying out octopath too but since it's still full price I was apprehensive (he has gamepass though so this will be good).

I fired the game up and saw the last time I played it was 2018, surely those 3 years should have at least knocked 15 bucks off by now, especially since it's not even a Nintendo game.

Edit: Oh wow, lol they just updated the article from 2019.... I thought this was new from today. 🤦🏾‍♂️

I remember I and a friend got the games, I got ages and he got seasons... I struggled to get through ages, that game seemed especially difficult to me for some reason, we did the little code exchange thing and switched out games for a week, I flew through Oracle of seasons so damn fast I couldn't believe they were a part of the same overall story, he struggled on ages as much as I did.

Man.... if only they'd just release these few games people REALLY want, they can probably secure the best console of all time sales wise from Sony with a great catelog.... Those games include, anything f-zero related, Metroid prime 4 (like damn for real you announced this 4 years ago), Bayonetta 3 (see previous), The mother series.... and a Pipe dream of mine (a new pilorwings game).

@Bunkerneath I personally think you really should. I stopped playing the first one too (not for the same reason though). While I was interested in part 2 when I saw it up for pre-order I still hadn't decided, the demo for 2 however, made me decide to go back to the first game so I'd be caught up.

Believe I had the first game since a little after it came out and after actually finishing it, can't believe I'd just been sitting on it the whole time, they're both pretty nice and atmospheric just hope the next game doesn't take nearly 5 years.

@YoungLink64 I never actually thought about it until this comment, but Link and Mario never really have linked up together outside of smash. He does it with Dk all the time (I mean I know he got his start there), but a oragami legend of Zelda game actually sounds like it would be great.

I'm not too sure how I feel about this look, buy I was waiting for the games.... Unfortunately I'll never be able to get them on a reasonable sale until the switch is long dead.

@GC-161 I mean, if they love soccer and only have a switch, options are pretty limited.... Now Nintendo could probably fill that hole for some people with a new Mario strikers game but that's really it.

The only limited edition game I really wanted over the previous gen was hollow knight, but since it didn't come to the platform I wanted the physical edition for, I didn't buy it. Kind of sucks, but oh well. Maybe Silksong will be a different story since it's releasing on all of them at the same time this go round.

Compared to last year my play time on the switch was way down. 122 hours played, smash Bros, BoTW, MUA3, pokemon shield and atelier ryza as my top games with 2 mario games thrown in somewhere... I played Mario kart but I don't know if smash Bros counts as a Mario game.

@norwichred No no, you forgot the one that definitely fits it for Nintendo, the mother series. What they've done with that series is basically the same as Microsoft except worse, because at least banjo & kazoore had all their games re-released in recent years even if that was in 2015.

@JohnnyC That Miles morales is surprisingly a very nice looking game, especially now that they've released and update that gives you the 60 fps AND the Ray tracing. I tried running with the Ray tracing and while it looked nice, not having the frames made me drop it out of my playthroughs. If all games can find a way to balance that going forward everybody wins.

I didn't know what this game was until this article, so now I'll be interested when it releases. That cyberpunk thing can bring awareness to smaller games too so it's a silver lining in a way.

@Realness Heh I can relate on the terrible sound track, I don't have hot pursuit, but I did buy heat when it was on sale a few weeks before this released. That soundtrack is pure trash, normally I can tolerate the tracks in most games, but in heat it's hard to even navigate the stations for some reason you'll wind up listening to the same 3 songs and most of them sound like electronica and dubstep. I know it's a pipedream to expect similar now, but vice city still has one of the best selections of music in it

When the Wii u came out I was in a pretty bad spot financially so I had to drop the hobby entirely for several years. During this time the Wii u, 3ds, the ouya, and the psvita all came and went. I remember the thing that always stuck to me was how bad the marketing was, I mean I personally new it was a different system, but for the life of me I still couldn't tell exactly how different it was aside from the game pad and I just remembered seeing all those deluxe edition of third party games being advertised for it.

Aside from the 3ds these were the only Nintendo systems I didn't own. I kind of feel like all they had to do was simply change the name to the Wii Too and they would have made everything clear, it may have captured the casual market in an even better way than the original.

When I read this headline I was confused for a minute because I got it and oceanhorn mixed up like isn't this already on the switch. Kind of a shame it looks the way it does, because if the game itself looked more like that artwork I'd have given it some consideration. Kind of tired of the top downs at the moment.

Damn this thing must be incredible given the price.... It's double what the Xbox adaptive controller costs and that thing has rave reviews from what I've seen. Controller is 70 dollars cheaper than the console it's made for.

Woulda sold more including one to me if galaxy 2 was here.... I'll buy 3d Mario world day one though. Still plenty of time to catch up to Mario kart at this rate before it goes off the market.........

@dmcc0 Yea twitter is an unfortunate place now, there was actually a short amount of time when news was first to break accurately on there..... Like the time the Rock broke the news about SEAL team 6.

These comments are a bit weird, some people are super defensive about one person's opinion about breath of the wild for some reason and others are salty about this game being described as a spiritual successor to a specific Zelda game. Although it would probably be better being referred to what was used for the messenger compared to ninja gaiden.

@dmcc0 It all started from a tweet of a pic with pine, hemsworth, Evans, and pratt with the caption one Chris has to go. People had started smearing Chris Pratt (the actual person the rest of his castmates were defending), based on misinformation about him not going to a fundraiser for joe biden, because he was out of the country and wasn't asked to attend.

This game probably would have sold like crazy if Nintendo just did this one thing.... Bring back the Nintendo selects for these older titles. Pikmin 3 isn't a new game and while I have purchased treasure tracker, tropical freeze, and new Mario Bros deluxe, those are from franchises I've always known to be good. I only played Pikmin when I rented it for the GC, and while I enjoyed my time with it back then I'm not willing to drop full price to try now and end up not liking it at all.

@Ralizah I think it's the art style because it just looks a bit weird and off. Just go and look at some of the screenshots with the character's face in them, I'm still looking forward to the game with that said though.

@ritouf Heh... as much as I was looking forward to playing it soon too, the game has to actually come out first. There's not really a lot of reason to believe it will even come out this year at this point.
