Shadow Movie, here we go!

I didnt know it was having issues, but its good to know one of the best games of all time is running well on switch 2

Nintendo Life, serious question.

Could you guys NOT refer to Game-Key Card releases as "Physical Editions"?

It's kinda misleading.

I got the upgrade and while it looks great on docked. I dont know what happened to the handheld mode. The graphics look all weirdly fuzzy and pixaleted.

Imma be real, the whole "can't fit on a cartridge excuse" pisses me off.

Sure, the cartridges can only hold up to 64GB. But if thats the case, they could actually use that space and have the game require a 31GB Download. That way you actually save some storage space on the Switch 2's memory.

@UltimateOtaku91 the thing is.

That first game is already on the switch.

@Darkcaptain3 its on Steam, I believe.

But its very easy to set up a japanese account and get the japanese copy (it was English).

@Lizuka ive pre-ordered the physical version from Amazon Japan. Ive been doing this to all releases that interest me but get blocked by the NoA Counsil of Karens.

This is extremely disappointing.
First Neptunia, any Qureate games, then Brave x Junction, now this.

I really hope Nintendo in Japan pulls a Square Enix and does a MASSIVE house cleaning on their western side.

@Nep-Nep-Freak its not the only one either. Brave X Junction recently faced the same wall. Having their western release canceled.

Off Topic but asking the Staff, You guys not gonna report on the Corpse Party Tetralogy pack having its western release cancelled?

@SillyG I agree. And, like, I'm from Brazil so english isn't my first language, I grew up with Brazilian dubs of American shows. I recognize that when you're making a dub, sometimes paraphrasing and adaptations are needed (specially since different languages are structured differently and what can be said in 2 words in onr language might take 5 in another). But even then, in every DVD and Blu Ray i can remember, if I turned on the subtitles, I'd get a faithful translation of the original english text and not a transcript of the dubbed script.

It can be very frustrating to play with japanese voices and have subtitles that aren't even remotely close to what's actually being said (again, Fire Emblem Engage was particularly awful in that regard.)

@OwenGamer22 yeah! That's the one.

@Dom_31 I don't remember which one it was, but I think i saw not too long a go a game that reached an interesting compromise for localization: when you played with the japanese voices, instead of english localized script, the subtitles would change to be a more faithful adaptation of what was actually being said.

I wish more games would do that. I know a little bit of japanese and I remember rrally being annoyed when playing Fire Emblem Engage with Japanese voices and constantly seeing discrepancies between what was writen and what was being said.

I cannot believe Sungwon Cho would steal this opportunity from a person of Chlorophyll. So much for casting authentically!

When will Plant actors be properly represented in media? Tsk tsk! XD

(I'm just making a joke folks. Overall, I'm really enjoying rhe voice cast).

I'd need to have a few more details before forming an opinion. like, what areas of the company are the layoffs happening?

to me, it's a Dream realized by a Monkey's Paw.

The main reason I personally favor physical games is because I value being able to save as much storage space as I can given that I have a large library of Switch games. Even something like "part of the game is on the cartridge but you need to download some extra data to play it" would've been preferable to so many of these releases being fully digital.

since it's not in a physical cartridge, into the "wait for a eshop sale" box it goes.

too bad we don't have gold points anymore.

Whats a shock to me is that last week, I went on a family trip and played Samurai Jack through time. A game that is actually pretty reminiscent of Ninja Gaiden, and to my surprise, as the credits were rolling when i finished it 2 days ago, I found out that Itagaki worked on it.
I then loaded up the Ninja Gaiden trilogy as I was planning on playing it next.

The next day, i learn he passed away.

Iizuka often says things I find absolutely stupid, but in this instance, I definetly respect the attitude. Specially considering theyre putting the game on a proper cartridge.

Somehow, DBF returned.

All i can say is:
"Ew. Gross."

@GoldenSunRM I mean, Daima is the last Dragon Ball product that will ever have any involvement from Toriyama. That alone makes it kind of a big deal.q

Imma be real, I don't like the design. The mech Zangie-F in SF5 was infinitely better. It had much simpler shapes, and more vibrant colors (most of the body was a blue-ish silver, which a red pelvis area like his trunks, and big brown plates: on V shaped in the chest representing his chest hair, one covering his jaw making it look like his beard, and one like his mohawk).

It was a fun mech design that really did look like Zangief as a Robot. This just looks absolutely generic. I can see the "zangiefish" elements but they're either vastly toned down or the area around thek is so busy that they get lost. The face in particular is pretty busy.

SF6 has been pretty consistently good with designs but this one is a miss for me.

of course Hundred Line doesn't even get mentioned.

these awards are a joke.

I would've rather waited a year for an optmized switch 2 release that's physical.

I'm just gonna wait for the physical Switch 2 version. since that's confirmed to not be a game key card

I would be willing to concede some points to him if it wasn't for the fact that damn near every third party is using Key Cards. Square Enix itself has several games that aren't AAA or require the type of load speed he's talking about, but they're going Game Key-Card anyway.

you see, the Sales Strategy here is making sure as few people buy the game as possible.

Call me old man Rogers cuz...

"No, I don't think I will."

To be the two biggest blights in Bayo 3 were playing as Viola (I DONT like witch time parry, even after I got the hang of it), and the story.

The story in particular made me never want to touch it again.

Yeah..... no.
Key cards are awful.

@Sambuc a new Op game sure, but they shouldn't make a new Pirate Warriors. There's only been one arc finished since 4.

Im really looking forward to this. Specially now.
The news of yesterday hit me really hard (if you know, you know, this ain't the place to elaborate), and I couls really use some levity, positivity, and having something to look forward to right now.

I enjoyed the first one and wa impressed by the demo. Was considering picking the his up later but the fact that its a true physical release (none of that key-card crap) made me wanna get it a launch.

really interesting aesthetic. I might check it out

All I can say is that I hope Totanic Scion doesn't get ignored like the first Daemon X Machina did

@poyo_pie
"Daring today, are we? Would you like a side of overpowered cranky female character who is always right and makes the main character look like a buffoon?"

@poyo_pie im sure Adi thought he was being really subversive and original.

Gross... terrible adaptation.

The first game was super underrated! really fun, but damn near nobody gave it any attention. I'm really excited to try this out!

@Mgalens that is annoying but I guess it could be worse? (I can sorta understand if it's an age-rating issue, like how Sakurai had to close Palutena's skirt due to Cero's restrictions in Smash bros).

my concern is that they're gonna try to done down some of the more raunchy humor like the "Bazongas" skits. or other stuff that isn't a matter of age rating, but ideology.

the "Some expressions have been tweaked." has me worried.

The Bandai Namco site says "Some expressions were changed from the original work in consideration of ethics", which to me sounds like they censored some dialog.

Xillia is my favorite Tales of game. I still have my PS3 Copy and I'd buy the remaster in a heartbeat, but censorship is a deal breaker for me.

@Vyacheslav333 doesnt really make a whole lot of sense. Not when its been only 2 arcs.

@IronMan30 it means the "physical" version is actually a digital version. The cartridge has no game data, all it has is a "key" that allows you to download the digital game and play it when the "key" is inserted. Basically, its a digital game pretending to be a physical one.

So, who else is getting the Switch 1 version to play on switch 2 cuz screw game-key cards?

@Suketoudara on Zangief, of course!

LAWD HAVE MERCY WITH THIS OUTFITS!

As a Manon main, I'm eating good.

and props to AKI for finally having a not ridiculous hairstyle!

I still despise this game but She looks really good. the animations look great.

My questions are:
1) is Kiwami 2 true physical?
2) is there an upgrade path for Kiwami 1?
