@MrCarlos46 I sure hope so! Comparing the (gone forever) 3DS eshop with the Switch eshop is dramatic. But then comparing the switch eshop with PS4/5/Xb1/Series is like... oof. Don't remember the Wii U eshop being that bad, but it probably was.
The switch can’t even run its own eshop without lag. It’s such a massive slog. Switch 2 will be the first Nintendo console that has a lag-free eshop. I hope!!!!
Brother ship is good. It’s clever, makes sense for the duo, makes sense for the game, and it’s punny. Even is a play on mothership which again makes sense.
@Cord well yeah, they’re not gonna reinvent the wheel on a classic. Have you played it? It’s great. And yes, it’s very similar to the original. You wanted them to make it an action game in full 3D? we knew what to expect.
@superdad64 it’s a big deal in the US, unfortunately. There’s a huge list of banned books that are either taken out of school and public libraries, or are kept in restricted sections. Many independent book stores fight against this by having a banned books week.
@UltraBEAR 100% agree. There are journalists being killed and threatened for reporting on genocide. There are books being banned because they talk about being trans. That’s censorship. Doing new art for an old game isn’t censorship. The 1980s art was squished and squat in “superdeformed” style too. No one is complaining about the absence of that part. (Even tho it was cute!)
Nice. After dq 1-3, I’d still love to see 4-6 get the treatment, not to mention 7 and 8 are trapped on 3ds.
And there are so many other Square and Enix games, and other stuff they hold the IP rights to. So many would be great hd-2d remakes. (Or even just a budget remaster would be nice)
Lack of waypoints and objective markers is a plus for me. Man I get sick of games designed around that, totally gimped because they rely on the player automatically following the arrow to know where to go rather than telling the player.
They need to do ff6 and give it as much love as dq3 got.
And then they need to do barebones, or at just remaster and release, the late super famicom square games that never saw western release, like bahamut lagoon, treasure of the rudras, treasure hunter g… That front mission side scroller too.
I didn’t know 8 was less about management and more about story. Sounds kinda fun tho. They should do a nobunaga’s ambition remake too. Fake japanese history is a little more familiar at this point than warring states China.
@AstroTheGamosian You should do it. It's better living for sure in the EU, where humanity usually comes first over corporations and profits, especially these days... I often wonder if I'm Scandinavian enough to emigrate there, but probably not!! My grandparents were all born here. I dated and English girl back when the UK was still in the EU. Emigrating is difficult, but having the ancestry might make it a lot easier. Even some place like Prague is pretty amazing... and the Netherlands... wow. And if you do end up in Germany, English is widely used, and the German people are some of the most kind, gentle, pro-social people you could imagine. Of course, Ireland is amazing. Not to be a perv, but Irish girls.... are very lovely humans. Meanwhile I'm trapped in the land of buried ballistic thermonuclear armaments.
@AstroTheGamosian yuck yeah, it’s horrendous in the US and will be getting worse in the next ten months or so unfortunately. And depends on our insurance and all kinds of stuff. I hope it’s not as bad in Japan!
@AstroTheGamosian they’re not a 24/7 clinic I don’t imagine anyway. They probably close at least one day per week normally and are likely almost entirely by appointment.

Re: Sega President Shuji Utsumi On Sonic The Hedgehog’s Next Major Outing
A great game? That’s setting the bar a little high considering Sonic games have struggled to even approach decent for the last 30 years.
Re: Level-5 CEO Shares Another Update About Its 2025 Switch Game Schedule
@FIS-PODCAST I think it was pushed to 2026. It’s the only one I’m actually psyched about. I really hope it turns out.
Re: Level-5 CEO Shares Another Update About Its 2025 Switch Game Schedule
Why don’t they market their games? Megaton Musashi is great, and no one knows it exists.
Re: Feature: How Can Switch 2 'Fix' The eShop? Devs Share Their Storefront Stories
@MrCarlos46 I sure hope so! Comparing the (gone forever) 3DS eshop with the Switch eshop is dramatic. But then comparing the switch eshop with PS4/5/Xb1/Series is like... oof. Don't remember the Wii U eshop being that bad, but it probably was.
Re: Feature: How Can Switch 2 'Fix' The eShop? Devs Share Their Storefront Stories
Being able to run the eshop without lag and slowdown would sure be a nice start actually.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Games Of 2024
Wow. Did we order this, or did Nintendo life? Whomever it was, they actually have taste.
Re: 'Hyperdimension Neptunia' & 'Death End' Switch Releases Scrapped For "Not Complying With Nintendo Guidelines"
@Mgalens Right--a total misassessment of the actual problem, as usual--very likely
Re: 'Hyperdimension Neptunia' & 'Death End' Switch Releases Scrapped For "Not Complying With Nintendo Guidelines"
@Mgalens it’s just odd in that case since there’s apparently so much actual soft core hentai sort of stuff on the eshop already.
Re: 'Hyperdimension Neptunia' & 'Death End' Switch Releases Scrapped For "Not Complying With Nintendo Guidelines"
@AlexUbel yeah, I think people miss this important fact when they're on their anti-"censorship" high horses...
Re: 'Hyperdimension Neptunia' & 'Death End' Switch Releases Scrapped For "Not Complying With Nintendo Guidelines"
That’s weird. They let all kinds of stuff on switch.
Re: New Side-Scroller Entry In Legendary Ninja Gaiden Series Announced For Switch
@SalvorHardin I think it’s trying to capture the spirit of the original 2D games
Re: Video: Here's Your First Look At The Witcher 4's Cinematic Reveal Trailer
@mereel why, because ciri doesn’t have huge cleavage and the face of a 12 year old?

I love the new ciri ❤️

Does that demon girl only have four fingers??
Lots of interesting stuff here. I’d rather just see screenshots tho. I’m not gonna click on every trailer.
Re: Indie RPG Hit 'Chained Echoes' Announces Ashes Of Elrant DLC
@Astropez I couldn’t disagree more. It was my favorite game that year. People sure get some skewed perspectives online.
Re: Indie RPG Hit 'Chained Echoes' Announces Ashes Of Elrant DLC
@fenlix sea of stars is great too. That whole backwards anti-praise attitude toward sea of stars is so weird.
Re: Indie RPG Hit 'Chained Echoes' Announces Ashes Of Elrant DLC
My favorite game of 2022. I’ve been looking for an excuse to replay it, and this seems like a good one.
That said, gotta wonder why they didn’t just work on a sequel this far out. DLC for a 3 year-old game…
Re: Shin chan: Shiro And The Coal Town Switch "Limited Run" Physical Release Announced
I can’t wait to play this. I loved the first one. And loved natsu-mon.
Re: Acquire Comments On Mario & Luigi: Brothership's Familiar Opening Cutscene

Re: Opinion: Nintendo Needs To Let Us Block The Crap On Switch 2's eShop
The switch can’t even run its own eshop without lag. It’s such a massive slog. Switch 2 will be the first Nintendo console that has a lag-free eshop. I hope!!!!
Blocking the crap would be a massive improvement.
Re: Square Enix Provides Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Global Sales Update
@MJF 😂 I remember those.
Re: Square Enix Provides Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Global Sales Update
1,800,000 of those sales could be in Japan for all we know tho right?
Happy to see it either way tho.
Re: Random: Nintendo And Acquire Brainstormed "Over" 100 Subtitles For Mario & Luigi: Brothership
@VoidofLight yeah well they ain’t got a boat in them like this one bro 😂
Re: Random: Nintendo And Acquire Brainstormed "Over" 100 Subtitles For Mario & Luigi: Brothership
Brother ship is good. It’s clever, makes sense for the duo, makes sense for the game, and it’s punny. Even is a play on mothership which again makes sense.
Imo it ticks all the boxes.

Re: Koei Tecmo Confirms Upcoming Atelier Resleriana Game Won't Feature A Gacha System

Re: The First Review For Fantasian Neo Dimension Is In
Hard to tell with famitsu. I’m hopeful tho. Been looking forward to it for a really long time. And it’s not like the iOS version got bad reviews.
I’ll be playing it on Xbox 😝 I have credit.

Re: Mario & Luigi's Future In Doubt As A Potential Sony Acquisition Emerges
Nintendo needs to stop outsourcing anyway. They used to develop internally. So did square Enix.

It never grabbed me as a kid, but it certainly fared better back then.

It hasn’t been out that long has it? Most people won’t have even finished it yet
Re: The First Review For Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Is In
70 hours is a lot. There must be a lot of side stuff that wasn’t in the game boy color version, because I remember that being more like 30 hours.
