It's 99,9 % not Pokopia.
Pokopia is from a totally different developer and has very different mechanics.
They won't reskin this game, it has already quite polished graphics and it would be a phenomenal waste of energy, time and money to hide a game that doesn't need to be hidden, with a different looking game just to test the online multiplayer.

I think the game has some major flaws that I don't know how nintendo will fix them.
when you build a structure, lets say a tower, it's possible that you, by accident, take out a core piece and the whole tower colapses.
This happens quite often actually.

I buy a lot of games but it slowed down this year a bit. this is mainly due to the high prices of switch 2 games and game key cards... especially the key carda ruined the hobby for me a little

there were never humans in any pikmin game and I think it will stay like this

ai is ruining the internet right now, I wish someone would do something about it. image search and all social media is full of slop...
at a certain point social media just dies because real creators just don't get enough visibility anymore

I played the game for some minutes and I totally get why nintendo didn't make a big thing out of it. It's just very bad and has everything why I hate mobile games...

I'm a huge fan of the original FF7 and I don't like the remake. I think as a game it is solid (not excellent) but it's just not a remake of Final Fantasy 7.
If they would have called it FF7 Reimagination or Reboot, it would make much more sense.
A real remake of the original is essentially dead now and has almost zero chance to ever come out.

It makes me sad but they lost me as a customer as long as Falcom stops that game key card madness...

@michellelynn0976 where do you know from that she has a bigger personality? we know nothing about her...

This is interesting but I don't think it will change anything.

that is actual surprising since the game doesn't look that great

it would be very very unexpected when resi 9 would come as a normal card

@progx Dsi ware is completely dead and cannot be re-downloaded (on the dsi not the 3ds)

this just proofs once again that we don't need more hardware power anymore.

@MSaturn you are right and I think that list of cons of AAA games is even longer.

@Yobreeze hmm weird I still play my old game boy games from the early 90s and they all work... even my old nes ducktales card still works... all my 20-30 snes games all work fine.
Sure I had to replace the battery of some of them but thats it.

@nintendo life please stop spreading that narrative that the switch 2 cartridges are too slow.
FF7 Remake, and yes even Rebirth, runs on a much much slower HDD on pc and the game works great.

Sure the cards are slower than internal storage but that is not a big issue.

I don't know what it is but somehow I can see when a game was made in china and something about their art or animation puts me off (not all of the chinese games but many).
And something about this games turns me off

they should have called it Octopath Traveler Recycled... it looks like all old assets

this is like the disney afternoon collection at home

it would be great if they would also showcase which ones are game key cards

@MrPerson0 tell that to the people who downloaded dsi ware games

@Jedrus_Lilac but there are solutions for this.
they could make slower more effortable cards that require you to install a part of the cards data to the system.

Thats how many pc games worked too back in the days.

Another solution is to make just slower cards for games that need not that much speed, like almost all indie games.

I think no one has a problem if a game is 80gb and comes on a key card.

sorry but this is BS... if nintendo wouldn't want to make more money why did they raise prices on almost everything?
Sure for the industry the key card sounds awesome but for the consumer it's just bad.
The big publishers who anyways already have the methods to squeeze out everything benefit the most of key cards...
those don't need help.

@Jhena so well said I agree with every thing.

I won't buy any of the copies in that case...
I bought almost every SE game that came out on the switch, but I can't support them anymore. I don't want to support key cards.

I think some of the games just haven't been on direct level.
Also Metroid got another trailer that was poorly edited...
It's just my personal taste but the upcoming games except of metroid do not appeal to me... some are ok, like fire emblem (which looks worse than engage but has the same poor character design) but there was too much switch 2 edition/port/another mario sports game stuff...
very uninspired.

@JimmyFleck
Yes your right all the trailers so far were like they have been made by an intern...
weird selection of scenes, weird cuts etc...
I don't understand it to be honest... how is this possible ?

@AlonditeFE I think it's ok to have concerns but an opinion shouldn't been formed already

Im not sure about the open world. usually those need a lot of content and usually have a lot of filler fetch quest stuff...

it's two of the best games ever made that almost didn't age at all.

I think he is right

@Tyranexx
I think the game is ok. it's in all disciplines simpler than SS. The story and character writing is a bit simpler, the pre-rendered backgrounds are very static (which is a big minus for me) etc.
But it's not a bad game. Maybe on a level with the Lunar games

I think this is LRG first SquareEnix game, which means it's possible that more will follow.

@Duncanballs I think in general you are right. But I also think that topic is so much more complicated and complex than this.
I also think in case team cherry would have charged 25 or 30 people would have complained about it.

But for the games industry it's a huge problem that many people don't want to spend money for games anymore at all, they expect it to be free. they do not understand free 2 play games and they do not understand why free 2 play leads to worse games, less creativity and more mean psycho tricks.

It's not a good thing when people expect a low price for something that cannot be produced at that low price.

I'm with the lizard brain guy on this. We saw the silksong price argument several times when metroid dread came out.
20 bucks is too cheap for a game like silksong and this is sending the wrong signals

I don't buy this reason .
The whole game is only 20gb big... I do not believe that the Cartridge is too slow .

I always wished they would have gone more in the direction of the first Armored Core game.

I'm waiting for the first modder who makes this a working gameboy

those two guys a multi millionaires, they could even release the game for 10 and it would easily backup their costs

not a single game key card in the charts... but well no third party switch 2 game at all which is shocking...

the first year it was hard to get a switch so this comparison means nothing

that dark deity game gets quite a bit of attention here on the site for what it is. there are tons of indie games that are more worth reporting about...

@OorWullie i think smaller card would be great but if they still cost too much they should offer slower cards. no one can tell me that most indies or smaller titles like octopath traveler wouldn't work on switch 1 cards with higher resolution and frame rate on switch 2

haha and then it's just a mario 40th direct

awesome, day 1 purchase for me

I love the gamescom but I would not go there for AAA games.
But you forgot to mention so many cool things there like cosplay village, the retro area, and the trading card arena and many other things that are more interesting than AAA games

I'm very sorry for falcom but I'm not going to buy any of their games anymore on switch, due to game key cards

I was already waiting for ff14 on switch 1, hope they finally make it happen on switch 2
