@Nintendo_Ninja good, reminiscent of final fantasy 5 and 3 but can get very grindy and repetitive. If you don't like turn based combat or grinding, stay away. Otherwise, dig in!

The first one had promise but was dragged down by its latter half A LOT.
The second one was OK but too similar to the first one and nearly insulting with the all the reuse....
Maybe third time's a charm?

Ah the golden age of vidoegames! best console ever

It really depends on the type of game of course! For racing games or fighting games I'd go for 60fps...even for a fast pace action game like Bayonetta, it would be ideal. But for an adventure game or RPG, I'd prefer 30fps and more visual flare.

Sounds like a dream _ would love to see this on the Virtual Console! I am still hoping for FF6 and Secret of Mana on the WiiU...

If they don't build some hype I can see a lot of Nintendo fans looking for PlayStation hardware under the Christmas tree...that's the only downside. I am ready when they are ready, no rush.

I'll get the boxed edition since I have n space left on my HD but always wanted this!

Looking amazing! Will get it for sure

Nintendo's adamant secrecy about a console that is supposedly coming out in 5 months and Microsoft's brilliant move to announce a new and more powerful model of their current console 18 months before it launches - undoubtedly harming sales - are making Sony look like they're geniuses of marketing with their lame ps4 slim/pro reveal XD

@BiasedSonyFan it's a matter of taste, I can totally see it though.
I had my fun with the WiiU anyway, not a purchase I regret at all. Currently playing #FE and loving it, then it's PS4 time with FFXV and Persona 5 but then WiiU again for Breath of the wild (totally getting it before Horizon Zero Dawn). Couldn't find any of these games on PC. FFXV eventually will be ported though

@BiasedSonyFan Generally speaking I tend to agree. But apart from Sony's stuff, Playstation has got a very nice series of "third party exclusives". I wish they were on Nintendo consoles so I could just buy one machine dreams of SNES era dominance.

@BiasedSonyFanI I guess they might not be for you but as with the WiiU, there are many interesting exclusives that are not on PC on all those consoles ...well ok, not on the Xbone with that play anywhere deal going on.

I find this hard to believe as Breath of the wild will inevitably move some consoles. I mean, people could buy the NX version ok but I can see others finding a bargain WiiU if they just want to play that game

I anticipate and fear the day we get to know what this next console is called. They kept it secret for so long that it will feel weird to stop calling this thing "NX". We've been using it for so long...much more than, say, "Nintendo Revolution" or "Dolphin", "Katana" etc.

Well, if that isn't a nice package! Hope it comes west.
As someone mentioned, I would love to see a classic genesis rpg getting the 3D treatment. Phantasy Star or Shining or Thor. Also Sonic 3 but I think we'll get that one eventually.

@Bloodix Yes, a lot of nice memories but once Phantasy Star Online's disc entered the console it almost never came out! My game from that generation for sure.

Amazing work and joy for us meteoroid fans <3 ..that said, Nintendo's decision is understandable!

@bitleman the game far from being mediocre, it had just a bad "package" when it come out ... And I am on Nintendolife because I am a Sony fanboy? Agree to disagree on the game if you don't like it just don't call other people names for having different opinions.

@bitleman I am not interested in praising any company, in my experience is just a lot easier to find matches online for SF5. Pokken was even faster than SF5 while I played it.

I can get behind this now that I know the reason! Communication is important

As a street fighter-nutty, I always had a soft spot for this version of sfa2 and for GBA's Turbo revival but I realise I treasure them because they are novelty items, b-sides and alternative mixes from one of my favourite bands.

I'd recommend the other 2 titles if you are looking for a more authentic experience...this is for the game historians, and the collectors.

@VanillaLake would love it myself actually hahaha 😂

@bitleman as 99% of the reviews will tell you, the game itself it's a wonder but keep hating, man. It did well at EVO because it' fun to play and to watch so please stop make up stupid narratives. It's not a flop by any means, it just underperformed and should have had a better release.

I'm playing the game on a daily basis and I can assure you the servers and matchmaking are mighty fine and the issues on release were dealt with very quickly. And come on, server problems the first few days of a game with a big online component...is anyone really surprised? I didn't have crazy wait time for matches as I did for Smash, even when the issues were at their worst.

@TwilightOniAngel well, it's a way of seeing the thing. I see free updates with triasl, cinematic story mode, new characters and stages I can also earn by playing the game instead of paying 6-9$ as in most games...but most importantly a very good fighting game. Very finished in its mechanics: I don't care if you have 1000 modes on release date if the core game is not that good. I am not saying you are wrong, and I get your pov just that 0) the game itself is very good 1) they were very clear on what they were giving us on release 2) they have been expanding a lot 3) their system is less greedy than other games.
I do wish it had the release its mechanics deserved...

Going back on topic, SFV in its release date form seems a better purchase than this New 3ds re-releases: the price is downright shameful, there is no cross-buy and you can't even play against other players in any way. Useless. And not improving over time, unlike sfv.

@TwilightOniAngel Actually at the end of March it had shipped 1,4 million copies, as Google will tell you. Capcom target was 2 million though, and I can see them reaching it, eventually. It managed to be really liked by the FGC, as the EVO numbers show..go hate something else, if you really must.

@SanderEvers I am sorry you didn't like the game, it's an incredible fighter with tight and fun gameplay...with 5000+ entries at EVO, they really must have done something right, no?
I'll add Capcom was very clear on what you would get with the game on launch though, so maybe next time do a bit of research before buying (games or really anything). I am not denying it was very lacking in the single player mode but we were warned...anyway the main draw of these games is fighting other players, at least for me! Sorry if this sounded paternalistic, but I really feel SF5 doesn't deserve the hate. Overwatch and Splatoon had very similar releases and none of this.

@VanillaLake @SanderEvers SFV is one of the best fighting game I have ever played...and I started with SF2 on the SNES. Then again I think no multiplayer makes this kind of games really boring really quickly

Sounds awesome!

@RetroTyGuy I am glad you liked it. I don't like Paul Feig's comedies, the trailers were atrocious, I am disgusted by the marketing campaign and bummed by the fact that we got this reboot instead of a proper sequel that was in the work for years - so I am not going to see it. Just not interested. Being female at least I won't have to be called a sexist just because I am not going to see a movie that I think I wouldn't like.

"In case you hadn't noticed, there's a new Ghostbusters film out at the moment, and it has endured its fair share of unfair criticism purely for having four female busters instead of four male ones. Yes, that's the kind of crazy world we now occupy."

Seriously NL?

People are mad because they are taking a beloved franchise and turning it into a hollow, throwaway movie.

I haven't seen all this nerds getting upset about the Force Awakening having a female lead! Don't fall for this diabolic narrative set up by Sony Pictures and Amy Pascal

@Minotaurgamer As a woman, I can' t believe how many dudes fell for this fake feminist narrative clearly created by the marketing team ...so annoying! I won't go to see the movie if they pay me to do it.

Good things happen when Nintendo gets out of its confort zone!

p.s. happy to see FFXV on the list, Tabata is really working hard on that! And hoping to see it on NX in some kind of "definitive" edition

@ZimmerRemmiz Persona 4 was first published July 2008. But anyway there have been much better JRPG than Xenoblade imho.

@Warruz best jpg of the last 10 years...

Sounds like my thing! Day 1

It's a really though spot for Nintendo (and one they dug themselves into) but if there is one company that can make miracles...I just don't want "breath of the wild" to be remembered as the last amazingly great Nintendo home console title or something sad like that ;_;

@Mainsaile Have you seen the last guardian trailer? It does' t get much more inspiring, ghibli-ish than that...I missed the colourfulness of Nintendo for sure though.

Maybe it's the portable version of a NX? We really don't know anything! Mobile Hotness

This is going to bomb and it sucks because I can already see it is a much more interesting JRPG than Xenoblade, with a nice combat system and characters that are not bland.

Persona 5 guys!

@EllenJMiller golden Axe would be wonderful!

My secret dream though is Phantasy Star IV. In glorious 3D.

I say Alex managed to pull them off! Hilarious btw love you guys

Preordered! Lovely book looks lovely!

Darkstalkers would be amazing in their current SF art style. Also: rival schools.

And Okami 2 if they get Kamiya and platinum on board!

amazing!

YES!

The 90s are back, I see...

I am fine with this "day1" dlc because it wasn't really day 1 in Japan. The censorship thing bothers me though, even if I wouldn't buy a costume DLC (meaning something purely cosmetic) anyway I still think they shouldn't choose for their customers what is "appropriate" for them. Plus, I don't see children playing this niche jpg game or anyone get traumatised by a swimsuit...

Love you Alex, but I have to disagree on this.

I'm with you on the objectivity but I think it can be achieved by words and it's better not to have a number at the end of the review. The use of numbers itself can be pretty subjective and doesn't guarantee any more objectivity. And a lot of people will just skip the review and look at that number when you provide one.

It really seems every marketing campaign now needs a "9/10 insert site name" quote and some programmers don't get bonuses if the games doesn't reach a certain metacritic score, even after terrible crunches to deliver the game...and all just because some journalists decided to be edgy that day.

An half-assed review like the one Kotaku did for Starfox Zero at least doesn't feed this number crunching monster.

Can't wait !
