It was flipping awesome. Lots of surprises for me. A few games I could care less about but mostly great stuff for my tastes. And many of the games are coming out pretty soon. Go Nintendo!
Nice anime intro for sure, but as others brought up no gameplay or game graphics shown. After the intro ended I wondered if they were just doing an anime. Wait and see.
Most people say it's too much, what a shock. I think the bigger issue is Nintendo first party games are rarely, if ever, on sale. This is especially true with physical releases. So you're often paying full price 4+ years after release.
I would love a Switch port of Trails of Cold Steel I and II. Or are those not Marvelous games? I sometimes get mixed up with all the different publishers. The Cold Steel series has two different ones.
Have no idea WTH is going on but this sucks for fans. Preordering a physical copy of a first party Nintendo game is not a bad idea. You rarely save money by waiting because the games rarely go on sale anyway.
I prefer physical in most cases so this is good to hear. Plus there is the question of backwards compatibility for physical releases. Nintendo could probably figure out something if the Switch 2 were digital only, but I wouldn't want that anyway.
Saw a review on Switchup and they loved it outside of the performance. They usually go back and do an update video when there are patches for games. By the look of this game I bet the performance gets fixed. But it is too bad the Dev didn't postpone the SW release a couple months.
@BoyfriendOfDeath I would love to visit for a long vacation and see what happens. Hardest part for me would be learning Japanese. Plus being almost 50. Hope you can go there.
Asajj Ventress was never a playable character in the game, either at launch or as an unlockable character? The mod adds Asajj Ventress to the game? WTH Aspyr
@Sisilly_G Yeah I don't get it at all. Did they really limit psychical copies more with this game? I've seen Best Buy (US) have it for sale on their website.
Games, movies, TV, anime, etc. If you really love something you probably want to own a copy of it. Especially if you replay/re-watch it often. This is best with physical media, not a license.

Re: New 2D Adventure 'The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom' Announced For This September
What a surprise this was for me. I'm not 100% sure about it but I have faith in Zelda. It looks gorgeous.
Re: Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Finally Gets Release Date, I & II Remakes Confirmed
So excited for III and also I and II next year. Was confused until the series creator came on after and recommended the play order.
Re: Reaction: A Direct That Delivered, And Shows That Switch Still Has Plenty Of Pep
It was flipping awesome. Lots of surprises for me. A few games I could care less about but mostly great stuff for my tastes. And many of the games are coming out pretty soon. Go Nintendo!

Now I want an official remake from Nintendo. Blast it all.
Re: Marvelous Officially Reveals Farmagia, A New Monster Game Releasing This Year
Nice anime intro for sure, but as others brought up no gameplay or game graphics shown. After the intro ended I wondered if they were just doing an anime. Wait and see.
Re: Google Employee Reportedly Tied To Multiple Nintendo Leaks
Yikes. Private Youtube videos? Are they really private if they are on Google? Put them on an internal server at Nintendo HQ.
Re: Poll: Is $60 Too Much For Nintendo's Switch Re-Releases?
Most people say it's too much, what a shock. I think the bigger issue is Nintendo first party games are rarely, if ever, on sale. This is especially true with physical releases. So you're often paying full price 4+ years after release.

Great anime and super excited to see more.

Never got to play it so super excited for this.
Re: Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Physical Collector's Edition Comes With Replica Pistols
The Standard and Deluxe editions are reported to be sold at retail outlets as well. Was on PushSquare. That's what I will do.
Re: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Online Pre-Orders Are Apparently Being Cancelled (US)
Have no idea WTH is going on but this sucks for fans. Preordering a physical copy of a first party Nintendo game is not a bad idea. You rarely save money by waiting because the games rarely go on sale anyway.
Re: Nintendo Will Continue To Support Physical Media And "Maximise" All Software Sales
I prefer physical in most cases so this is good to hear. Plus there is the question of backwards compatibility for physical releases. Nintendo could probably figure out something if the Switch 2 were digital only, but I wouldn't want that anyway.
Re: Review: Little Kitty, Big City (Switch) - Repetitive, But Oozes Charm From Every Paw
This sounds good to me. Now we need a dog game, although that may not be quite as cozy an experience.
Re: Review: Another Crab's Treasure (Switch) - Great Ideas, Crabby Performance
Saw a review on Switchup and they loved it outside of the performance. They usually go back and do an update video when there are patches for games. By the look of this game I bet the performance gets fixed. But it is too bad the Dev didn't postpone the SW release a couple months.
Re: Zelda Live-Action Movie Director Confident "Fans Are Gonna Be Happy"
We'll have to wait and see for a trailer.
Re: Former Pokémon Artist's New Project 'The Plucky Squire' Really Is Launching In 2024
Great to hear. Look forward to it.

Good to hear. The game looks really great and I hope it gets a physical too.
Re: Action RPG 'Astor: Blade Of The Monolith' Draws Its Sword On Switch Next Month
Looks pretty cool so far.
Re: Video: 10 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In May 2024
Behind Paper Mario Little Kitty, Big City is my number 2 pick for sure. Looks very chill and fun.
Re: Capcom Issues Reminder About Monster Hunter Stories Switch Pre-Order Goodies
Play Asia lists a copy of the first game in US and European regions, but there is no release date or price.
Re: 'That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime' Anime Gets The RPG Treatment This August
Really excited for this. Love the anime. Hopefully they're adding the English dub but no biggie if it's Japanese VA only.
Re: Round Up: It's April Fools' Day, Here Are The Best Gaming Gags We've Seen (2024)
Yeah. AFD sucks. I don't mind obvious fake news but most of the time the "jokes" are really upsetting like the Rockstar one. Just stop.
Re: As Switch Approaches The PS2's Lifetime Sales, Sony Moves The Goalposts
Good grief. Who gives a rip about sales numbers? I play games. I like games. We shouldn't care about this stuff.
Re: Random: Capcom Reveals "Most Popular" Games And Comments From Fan Survey
Mega Man Legends 1-2 on modern consoles please. That feels like the only MM series not in a collection.
Re: Random: Japan Is Getting A Scrumptious Looking Splatoon 3 Bento Box
@BoyfriendOfDeath I would love to visit for a long vacation and see what happens. Hardest part for me would be learning Japanese. Plus being almost 50. Hope you can go there.
Re: Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection Reportedly Features Modder's Work "Without Credit"
Asajj Ventress was never a playable character in the game, either at launch or as an unlockable character? The mod adds Asajj Ventress to the game? WTH Aspyr
Re: Dragon Ball Creator Akira Toriyama Has Passed Away
Very sad news. Praying for his friends and family.
Re: Former Netflix-Exclusive 'Valiant Hearts: Coming Home' Arrives On Switch Today
I didn't know there were even games on Netflix.
Re: Warner Bros. Doubles Down On Its Commitment To Live Service Games
Are focus groups for video games not a thing? Or are they getting people to say they want live service games to mess with them?
Re: Talking Point: What Would Make You Happy To Give Up Physical Games And Go 100% Digital?
First party Nintendo titles are rarely if ever cheaper than physical. Rarely on sale for more than $10 too. May as well buy the physical.
Re: Publisher Midnight Works Allegedly Targeting YouTuber For Calling Out Its "Scam" Switch Games
Hope it doesn't negatively impact his YT channel. Hope less people buy these crap games, even if they are $2-$10.
Re: Hand-Drawn Adventure 'Bo: Path Of The Teal Lotus' Launches On Switch This July
Sure has the look of a game I'd like to play. Added to my list.
Re: Talking Point: Which Xbox Games Would You Like To See Come To Switch?
Number 1 is Fable. Would love to see the first 3 games and maybe the new one on Switch 2.
Re: Five More Classic Rareware Games Come To Nintendo Switch Online Today
RC PRO-AM was one of my favorite NES games back in the 80s. It's a crying shame it took so long to get it ported to another Nintendo console.
Re: Ys X: Nordics Will Launch On Switch In The West In Fall 2024
Looks good, its Ys after all.
Re: Review: Tomb Raider I-III Remastered (Switch) - The Best Way To Rediscover A Gaming Idol
Look forward to reliving my 90s youth.
Re: Falcom Action RPG 'Tokyo Xanadu eX+' Is Coming To Switch
Is this at all different than the PS4 version in terms of the content?
Re: Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince Has Already Surpassed One Million Sales
@Sisilly_G Yeah I don't get it at all. Did they really limit psychical copies more with this game? I've seen Best Buy (US) have it for sale on their website.
Re: Monolith Soft Is Looking For Programmer With "3D Action Game Experience"
I'm sure whatever they make it will be good. They have a great track record.
Re: Soapbox: Tricks Of The Trade-In - Chronicles Of An Ex-GAME Employee
Retail is always interesting, good and bad. I'm sure with trade ins people usually assume a store will buy their crap no matter what.
Re: Van Gogh Museum Fires Four Employees Following Pokémon Collaboration
I don't think I've ever seen embezzle and Pokemon in the same sentence. What a world.
Re: Yes, Nintendo Is Aware Of Palworld's Existence
@DennisReynolds Well said, couldn't agree more.
Re: Sea Of Stars Physical Release Sails In This May
Great news! I wish iam8bit got the rights to Chained Echoes too.
@johnedwin I don't think anyone really knows the answer given the company making the physical version.
Re: Feature: Bandle Tale - Exploring The "Least Developed Parts" Of The League Of Legends IP
I love the graphics. Will check out a demo if they make one.
Re: Koei Tecmo Releases Fate/Samurai Remnant Demo On Switch Ahead Of "DLC Vol. 1" Launch
Greats news, hope it gets more attention.
Re: Players Need To Start "Feeling Comfortable" With Not Owning Games, Says Ubisoft Subs Boss
Games, movies, TV, anime, etc. If you really love something you probably want to own a copy of it. Especially if you replay/re-watch it often. This is best with physical media, not a license.
Re: Oh No, GameStop Is Closing Its NFT Marketplace
NFT I hardly knew ye, glad you are on your way out the door.
