@Anti-Matter you don’t need an Xbox for Gamepass. PC had Gamepass as well. Problem solved.
Again renting a game can help someone maybe decide if there is a genre they don’t normally like rather than spend 60. Like you don’t like uncute games, no worries you can try them as see if maybe you would like it. But if you don’t with Gamepass, you aren’t out 60 bucks.
I’m not sure why you are looking at exclusive games for Xbox again Gamepass is on PC. You don’t have to buy an Xbox.
I swear 2K has got to be paying for the market of that wrestling game. Anyway, most of the games are coming westward too, I don’t know why the West one was so sparse. Not to mention, Bakugan maybe should have been announced here...
@Anti-Matter Gamepass is a rental service it’s not meant to own. You know the difference right? The idea is you buy what you like but try anything. Maybe find a game out of your comfort zone? That’s why’s it’s 100% digital.
BTW New Supers Lucky Tale “the remake version” is coming to Both PS4 and Xbox.
It’s not about censorship or the USA one would have been pulled first. CERO has very specific guidelines for each rating as opposed to the western counterparts which a bit more vague. If it violates its CERO rating, it has to pulled. I don’t even think Nintendo has a choice in that...
@imgrowinglegs I don’t think you have to buy both versions. There is a “Lite
“ version” that’s free. And from the website it sounds like you can try it for free and then I’d you like it, only one of you needs to upgrade. That last part I’m foggy.
But that’s how the old one was with needing gameboy advances.
@nessisonett you don’t need switches either. The game works on your phone and or tablet, which I’m sure most people in your house hold have. Also there is cross play with PS4. Literally this means nothing.
@Rayquaza2510 okay to be fair there is a difference between censoring ones own product and forcing third parties to censor their product. At the moment, I don’t foresee Nintendo going backing and making devs censor a game like Omega Labyrinth Life or even with this one. It’s honestly a waste of time and resources.
However, Nintendo will continue to self censor their own products. They never stopped. You asked about Tokyo Mirage Sessions, which is slightly a bad example but either way Nintendo first party, so they see nothing wrong to “localize” if you will.
@Yorumi thanks. I’ll try again, :/ The last time I tried it didn’t work. So I gave up and tried a completely different Brand controller and it took thirty seconds.
@Yorumi I don’t know what to tell you. I have an X, it doesn’t work. And they actually say it on the website that it does not work with IPhone, like it specifically says it. If you’ve managed, if love it if you would let me know how.
@MrGawain they actually don’t need that much space. Best Buy where I lived have them hanging above the games on pegs that can only hold these cards. This space because it’s so narrow isn’t used for anything else. Of course, I don’t know how they do it where you are, just pointing out that I’ve seen retailers get super creative.
@mesome713 and if I wanted to purchase a digital game for a friend for their birthday how would you do that on the EShop without “cards”? The eShop doesn’t have a gift a friend option like Steam.
@Joker1234 well it’s also not a new game., so I can’t stop agreeing with you. Like all this attention to a game that is older and has a very small audience on the Switch given it’s M rating.
@Losermagnet well maybe they should have halved the game play between Catherine and Persona 4 Golden which just released on Steam. I just don’t think this was a great game to show off. If I was vaguely interested in the game that has completely dried up. I just don’t know why they thought that was a great idea for that showcase.
@Joker1234 Agrees. Plus this is not a good game to watch someone play let alone someone who really didn’t know how to play ._. That’s 30 minutes of my life I can’t get back.
@Joker1234 oh it got worst their 30 minute slot during the new game +Expo was all this game, nothing else, no dev talks, nothing about the season 2 dlc of project diva which was just announced in the Japanese stream, no Sonic, nothing about a localization for Scramble, just constantly hearing “edge” and “undo” ._. Which had the opposite effect because really not interested now.
@CaptFloofers of course it will, it’s Kingdom Hearts. I mean Union X is super prominent towards the end of KH3. Unfortunately ._. I mean I seriously had no clue who the kid was in a very specific boss battle. This at least is a rhythm game which I’ll play as opposed to a mobile game which I try to avoid.
@mesome713 if they wanted a cash grab they wouldn’t have bothered including 140 songs or online which BTW Project Diva doesn’t have online. For a rhythm game, it looks solid. I recognize it’s not what you wanted though, I’m just saying.
@AJDarkstar the wild area doesn’t not make the game “Open World”. It’s one specific place, the bulk of the game didn’t even take place in the wild area. The bulk of the game still takes place in set zones with set paths. You could actually complete the game and complete your dex without it for the most part. Minus a few drops in here or there.
While we are at it, the range of different biomes in the wild area is lacking. I mean the area around the meeting place looks exactly the same as the area around the Lake of Outrage.There is a reason crown of tundra is snowy as my proof. That’s not to say I don’t appreciate the different weather effects which they use to alter the biomes a little, or the camping aspects but the game is hardly like I don’t know Xenoblade. Which BTW looks the same if not better than SwSh and was made 10 years ago. Explain that to me? Xenoblade btw the way is “open world” game you should play it or I don’t know Xenoblade 2? Witcher 3? SwSh has one “open zone” compared to an “Open World”.
And don’t talk my game habits when you have no idea. For a reference, I’m 20 pokemon shy of a full dex for SwSh and part of that is there’s no end game like I don’t know B2W2 which you know that was on the DS.
@westman98 well from the trailer it looks like it’s right after Re:Mind.My plot guess is that Kairi uses her connection to Sora to relive his adventures to solve the mystery that KH3 left. I can’t say anything more because it’s spoilers.
Also, KH 3.5 would probably collect Dark Road, KH3, Re:Mind, and this game. I’m assuming that collection will be PS5 bound closer to KH4.
@Fredbu I’m thinking it’s not. Because there is two gig difference. Also generally don’t the release day patches only come out release day like Minecraft dungeons?
@Fredbu I’m not so sure because Switchup’s impressions seem like they expected another patch. Also, I would think the NL reviewer would know if they downloaded a 6 gig download or not.
Edit: After digging it looks like not every reviewer got the patch...
@BlueOcean I don’t think “extra work” is the issue. They actually opened up a new studio and hired specifically for BoTW2. In an interview, I think they mentioned working on Definitive, and two other games. A lot of their resolution issues come from their internal engine, not Nintendo.
@Tsusasi 1) dictionary definition of Branding
“The promotion of a particular product or company by means of advertising and distinctive design”
2) As far Nintendo doesn’t actually use “direct” they use “Nintendo Direct” and its “Indie World” and “Nintendo Direct Mini”. Even in the Twitter hashtags. These are very specific in the world of marketing. You may have boiled the word down to “Direct” but it’s not “Direct” it’s a “Nintendo Direct” which is a brand.
Normally, I would say not being compatible with a Switch Lite isn’t a con but the major draw of the game and what separates it from Future Tone is “Mega Mix”.
That is of course if it’s true. I tend to play “Mix Mode” with and extra pair of Joycon in table top mode.
If someone wants to say it in conversation it’s fine it’s whatever, but as a marketing Tweet it’s unprofessional. No matter how you want to look at it. However, it’s also nothing to lose sleep over either. There have be other far worse marketing tactics used, unfortunately.
@retro_player_77 as I asked someone else, what microtransactions? You can play this game in it’s full form without spending any money. And what you can buy can’t help you play the game. It’s limited to cosmetics and “Easy fatalities”.
And by cosmetics it’s extremely limited. You’d get more just playing the game. Which you can actually set to do without you there.
I mean literally you can farm towers with a turbo controller easier than trying to use time crystals to buy things but whatever..
@StevenG Three of the six extra characters that were in the pack were made of “guest” characters that can in no way be argued “should have been in the game”. Spawn, The Joker, Terminator !? And many of the skins in the pack were again based off DC characters or “classic monsters”. It really is just bonus stuff.
Animal crossing has two in game currencies. Tekken has an in-game currency. Do you know what that is?

Re: Shin Megami Tensei V Is Getting A Simultaneous Global Launch On Nintendo Switch Next Year
