Re: Review: I Am Setsuna (Switch eShop)

I played this on ps4, I'd say add 1 to the score if you know you like this kind of game from the 16 and 32 bit era.
I was also surprised by the extreme coherence of the story - it's very restrained and well told. Your actual best second choice after Zelda.

Re: Review: Super Bomberman R (Switch)

C'mon guys this is a rip off. Game is fun (always has been) but not for that price...if this is an 8 then I guess Ultra Street Fighter 2 is a 10 and 1/2? Pure fun, no frills just like the SNES days and arguably one of the best fighting games ever...

@Dj64Mk7 Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is a physical sensation characterized by a pleasurable tingling that typically begins in the head and scalp, and often moves down the spine and through the limbs.

Sounds weird but it's true, YouTube is full of stuff trying to trigger this kind of physical response.

Re: Downloadable Games for the Switch Will Be Locked to One Console at a Time

@ThatNyteDaez A lot of other companies allow to redownload digital purchases on a limited number of systems (like Google, Sony, Apple and so on) linked to the same account and manage to be financially more successful than Nintendo. We still don't know the details and it could be better thab it sounds but from a customer point of view I am disappointed.

Re: Guide: Nintendo Switch Launch Games: The Complete List

For anybody on the fence ...I am Setsuna is good, go fo it. Derivative maybe, but very well done.
It's understated and very coherent, two qualities that are rarely associated with jrpgs - and for that it resonated even more with me. Characters are also very relatable and easy to empathise with, safe the main hero maybe.

Basically Chrono Trigger gameplay with FFX's story (well Grandia 2's, am I rite?)

I trust them enough to bet it will be good.

Just work on your timing guys...can you wait until 2-3 weeks after launch and say something like "yadda yadda it's wonderful that the game has been so well received, we are proud to announce that we are still at work and there is more coming yadda yadda". Same goes for the FFXV team. Take the best from Western game developers not everything XD

Re: There Are Currently 'No Plans' For Final Fantasy XV On Nintendo Switch

This was actually a surprisingly good game, it's a pity it isn't coming. Would re-buy a portable FFXV (maybe complete edition or something?)in a heartbeat.

I hope KH3, being developed with UE4 and all, makes it to the Switch - that series is a perfect fit for Nintendo's audience and I would love to see a KH with Nintendo characters instead of Disney's.
