@DragonEleven Thank you for summing up everything I asked about!

So the violence looks more complex but the big question is will there be berry planting, contests, and juicy endgame content like the Battle Frontier? Ultra Beasts are like (exactly the same as?) the Ba'als in Bravely Second. Are they the new Legendaries?

@Ralizah Can't you summon a Sephiroth in FF Explorers?

@Pikachupwnage Okay. Compared to The Great Ace Attorney, I considered MH to have considerably less text.

@LasermasterA MH is the only game that might wear out my 3DS because of its reactionary and quick-reflex nature causes me to grip my system harshly. Wait for a good deal on a New 3DS this Black Friday or Boxing Day

@Pokefanmum82 I won't buy Switch, either, but only b/c I usually take a few years to adopt a new system. I think backwards compatibility will be managed differently than having native hardware/software emulators in the system. I see them porting a few of the Wii U titles to it, not to mention all previous Virtual Console releases. I think it will be interesting to follow Switch news all next year as I continue to purchase 3DS and PS Vita titles. I am also surprised no one has mentioned the fact that Switch is essentially PS Vita + PSTV rolled into one.

I love that the Switch merges gamers from two worlds: Home console and handheld. It will be fun playing together.

@invictus4000 Have you ever played Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and one of the beginning quests that has you gathering in the lake and then a Lagiacrus comes out and scares the crap out of you? This is one of my most vivid memories in video games. Have you ever made it far enough in any of the games to hunt large monsters?

@Pikachupwnage Monster Hunter has never been text-heavy (save for 4U) so I imagine localisation to be a cheaper/easier affair than, say, The Great Ace Attorney (see my avatar).

@LasermasterA My 3DS XL's circle pad came off and in its wake left a nub that was still fully functional albeit was a bit painful to use for longer sittings as the small thing dug into my thumb. Also, the D-pad is cracked (still fully functional) and the casing around the right shoulder button is cracked however it is still a fully workable machine even after 1650+ hours of Monster Hunter play (from all 3 releases combined) not to mention the other games I've played on it.

@Clockwerk To be fair, even though the games that were out since launch are at full price, they have all gone on sale. I got both Super Mario 3D Land and New Super Mario Bros. 2 free through Club Nintendo and Paper Jam and Luigi's Mansion for $30 CAD in eshop sales. I feel like Switch will just have games from every single one of Nintendo's platforms, handheld and home console, past and present. I even feel they will port/remaster Wii U titles for it. I think they will do this with Xenoblade Chronicles X and Bayonetta 2 b/c for all the work that went into them, the small Wii U user base inhibited their full sales potential.

I'm with the others who don't mind there's no Halloween sale. Corpse Party physical is 59.99 CAD and with my Amazon PRIME free trial (20% off new releases) plus $10 off code in my email, I was able to get the price down to 37.99 CAD for the Back to School Edition (eshop price is 34.99 CAD).

I hope they announce a Part Two. I am playing Hotel Dusk currently and I keep on playing despite its drab-ness just to find out at the end if it was all worth it. There's an element of challenge in that if you choose wrong answers, it will lead you to a Game Over screen and have to restart the chapter from the beginning so you have to be careful with your choices. I want Jake Hunter 3DS, as well. The more detective games, the better.

This is an insta-buy based on the fact I've played the first almost to the end with few stickers remaining and it was a game I would find myself coming back to b/c you really can't find fault with the gameplay and this one looks even more fantastic. It's better than Animal Crossing. Sorry. The friendly facade of the AC residents masked the tedium that lied ahead. I have never felt Disney Magical World to be tedious or "too kiddy". Even combat is solid and male characters can wear dresses <3

@plug313 You can skip the original b/c it appears clothing and possibly furniture carries over however there are exclusive worlds to each title. I don't know if you'd want to play both b/c the gameplay appears largely the same here. The original might be going for cheaper and goes on sale, too. There's always the fact that if you play DMW 2 first, the original might be less satisfying.

This trailer shows me that the people producing this game really love it and want to share it with us so that we will love it, too.

@shonenjump86 Miles Edgeworth 2 is thankfully available albeit unofficially. Any form is better than no form, right? In terms of fan translations, you could do a lot worse.

<-- See profile GIF...

This is the internet and so many things get easily and unnecessarily misunderstood so if it's not part of a true reveal, the CAPCOM UK staff member (didn't know there was a CAPCOM UK...) should issue an apology for getting peoples' hopes up. It's best to tell yourself it's not gonna happen. That way, when it does happen, you'll be pleasantly surprised and if it doesn't, then you've already accepted a loss and moved on. We should look at it as a positive that the tweet, at the very least, gained attention and a little buzz for the game.

Nice. Want it. How about Jake Hunter 3DS, too?

Will buy Spirit of Justice in hopes of helping The Great Ace Attorney to get localized. Boycotts don't help!

One of the best ways to show Capcom you want 'The Great Ace Attorney' aside from writing letters to the company and asking at the live-streams is to BUY Ace Attorney games in your area so I will buy this game but also b/c I would be just as upset if it weren't localized. I expect news concerning The Great Ace Attorney to surface in the next few weeks.

Got Market Crashers but undecided about paying 4.29 CAD for another.

Hope there's an RPG element.

@Barbiegurl777 That's tellin' em!!

@Frosty_09 I'm not too concerned about AAI2 as there is a playable English copy of the game.

The Ace Attorney Guild Card background is nice. The Great Ace Attorney in English would be lovelier.

In 3 Ultimate I left all of the DLC quests to do at the end however most weapons/armor capped at High Rank rarity levels in raw damage/defence so there was no incentive for me to embark on any of them. Now, the strategy with DLC quests is to do them as soon as you're able to b/c the gear they provide will only be useful in the moment as most did not upgrade as far as endgame rarity levels.

I will buy this if only to influence localisation of Dai Gyakuten Saiban.

LOL at the squeezing-in of Style Savvy: Fashion Forward at the end as an afterthought. As if showcasing even a second of footage of the game would turn off the young male viewership.

@BranJ0 A fast localisation has a downside: More spelling/grammar mistakes in the dialogue. I don't like to see these in the Ace Attorney games.

Team Skull in street wear? The enemy boss is wearing bling, for gosh sakes LOL I think it is offensive to street thugs.

@Rei Hmm, 'aliased' as in jaggy? I don't mind that, it's just the lack of depth that bothers me. I am still playing it of course however the areas have less depth in the stereoscopic 3D than in previous installments so it feels like a step backward. I guess this was necessary to accommodate a larger amount of areas.

This looks like Return to Popolocrois except the battles are in real-time. I'm getting Ys vibes, too. "It's Ys for kids!!"

Are all Level-5 games trying to be the next big franchise? Seems that's all they're interested in.

Does anyone else note the 3D effect has changed in this outing? There is not as much depth between objects both in the towns and areas. It feels like this was a corner to cut in order to include all of the content. I noticed a similar effect in Majora's Mask 3D where there were flickers of objects flattening as in they weren't completely in 3D all of the time.

@happylittlepigs Like you, I didn't really like the game and I realized that by the time I was about to begin the water dungeon and since haven't played to completion. I can't cite anything particularly wrong with it. I want to say its rigid structure was a factor in losing interest. Maybe it was just a case of preference.

It's not a terrible game for Langrisser fans, those who can manage their expectations, and lovers of traditional SRPGs like I am.

@VanillaLake I can see how voice acting would make me pay better attention to the story but it slows down the pace of the game and it frustrates me. MH3U had a perfect amount of dialogue in it for me.

@VanillaLake Never played Banjo-Kazooie. Asking for fully voice-acted games on 3DS is asking for much. I recall Bravely Second as being fully voice-acted and I can't remember another one that also has it.

@VanillaLake You don't like the characters' charming babbling?

@tabris95 3U is also my favourite. I loved swimming and the underwater areas were cool b/c they added mystery. I like the areas better than 4U b/c they had natural beauty. The areas seemed uglier in 4U and the monsters were crazy lol

Good. The amount of text in 4U bothered me to the point of skipping it. It would be nice to see the monsters being a threat to the town by charging towards it in an in-game (not separate film) animation instead of the threat just being described through dialogue alone.

So there is only one dungeon and if you don't survive you have to do it all over again?

A Japanese voice-over is not enough to make me spring for a second copy of the first game. Naturally, the eshop release of the sequel should be cheaper than the cost of this new physical copy.

A Tale of Two Towns was everything but relaxing. I had to learn lots of data that the game did not tell me and went about my days scurrying around.

@DrVollKornBrot Thank you. And it has unlimited pickaxes and budgets, too, right? Can it outfit many skills like Partbreaker and can its weapons bounce off of the monster ie. Does the boomerang always pierce?

@SpykeKat I haven't even played a Sonic 3DS game yet b/c the reviews for them are middling. I'm not a fan of Sonic and I have nice choices for platformers with Donkey Kong, Super Mario, and Kirby on the 3DS.

@Fandabidozi Well put.

How 'bout following Kirby's example? Planet Robobot kept Kirby's core copying ability and added a nice twist to it. The new tagline will be, "It's Sonic...with a twist!"

I will be missing the free hunt area, but it seems Prowler Mode will be a fun addition, probably to make the gathering quests more fun, I suppose. Anybody know if you can slay a large monster in Prowler Mode?
