I'm assuming the censored scenes were used to keep the direct friendly towards younger audiences. I'll hold off on pre-ordering it until Nintendo gives us an answer relating to whether or not it is censored for sure.
Worst time to release this game to be honest. Right smack in the beginning of the semester where I need to fight for a position in a lab. I'll have to time myself when playing it.
Back in the good old 6th gen days, I would buy EA games for my GameCube. This was before they turned into the incompetent, bumbling idiots we know and hate today. EA knows their half-assed ports sell terrible, yet they continue to do this to look for reasons not to spend money on developing games for Nintendo consoles.
I'm wondering if he was responsible for the censorship of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE(It was supposed to be M rated). Can we get an uncensored version on the Switch please? Thank you, Nintendo.
Falcom has a newly established fanbase on Switch. I enjoyed Ys VIII, even though it was my first. What has the president been smoking? With Sony censorship running amok, I doubt their fanbase will stay on Sony platforms forever. JRPGs have a nice home on the Switch, and weebs like me gobble up Anime artstyle games, look no further than the success of Xenoblade 2 and Octopath Traveler for evidence of an JRPG fanbase. Just don't shadow drop your games, and do plenty of advertising. Edit: Fixed autocorrected Falcon instead of Falcom.
The way Scorbunny moves shows that they are indeed working on Pokemon animations, idle ones at that. Top it off with the flashy move animations, and I find it hard to credit the #bringbacknationaldex movement. Furthermore, like I've been saying for so long: animations aren't the only things that go into video games. Here we have an example of people digging for things to discredit Masuda, but I beg to differ. The lower resolution textures of the 3DS models clearly had to be remade, and I also doubt that the 3DS could handle higher polygon counts. You also have balancing that needs to be done in order to make sure that more than twelve Pokemon have a chance to shine in tournaments. I saw primal Groudon and Kyogre frequently, along with Xerneas, Smeargle, Mega Salamence, Mega Rayquaza and a few others like the alolan guardians. The current meta balance is terrible, and I wish GameFreak can deliver on their promise of better balancing, because I want to use Aggron in battle.
@Nagi_Nagisa I think it's mostly because the gang stayed mostly in one place for most of the anime. It wouldn't make sense to make a movie that followed the same previous formula. Either that or the Sun and Moon anime is not movie material.
I almost lost my sister due to suicidal thoughts. My brother and I tried our best to keep her spirits up over the last few weeks. Good thing she is still with us. It is unfortunate that Etika did not have the same support that my sister had. R.I.P. Etika. You will be remembered.
@Daniel36 Growing up is associated with taxes, retirement funds, credit, bills, and other boring things. I think it is okay for grown men to love these toys, since the nostalgia is very strong among us. I'm 27 and I feel like I can never grow out of video games, toys, and other fun things because being an adult sucks. It's nice to just fool around a bit once in a while, otherwise we'll age too fast from stress.
This would have been great as a child, since I used to love Hot Wheels. I'm going to pass the torch onto my nephews and get it for them instead for the holidays. Translation: "Build the set for them, and have fun watching the cars go round and round the track like the good old days."
Yeah, that sums up the normies' ignorance about the poor Wii U's fate. I still have mine connected for finishing my backlog of games. College prevented me from finishing Bayonetta 1 & 2.
Well it is certainly plausible, since Nintendo released the 2DS, 2 years after the original 3DS. The "new" variants released four years after, so I would expect the pro version to come out sometime in 2020 or 2021. Handheld revisions shouldn't surprise anyone, especially with Nintendo's history. I already own the original switch, and will probably get the latest upgraded revision. I own both the original 3DS (black gradient) and the regular sized new 3DS (white, with mario/smash bros faceplates).
It's better to have actual gameplay at E3 2020, than to have a second CG trailer this year. This E3 was oversaturated with CG trailers and it boggles my mind when people say they're excited for a game we know nothing about (Insert CG new game announcement here). Also, Nintendo has directs throughout the year, so it is only a matter of time before they show it on one of those.
I really want that collector's edition of Astral Chain. I really love the art style and music of this game, and I'm sold on getting it no matter what. I overlooked the PEGI rating at the bottom right corner on a trailer that GameSpot posted on YouTube and seriously exhausted myself trying to look for it in the US. Hopefully they announce it tomorrow during Day 2 of TreeHouse coverage or I will have to import it if they fail me.
@Silly_G I agree with you. We need more Pokemon per generation. The fifth generation on the DS had more new Pokemon than the 3DS games combined (not including event exclusive Pokemon)... I was disappointed by that. On the translation issue, I'm not sure. (Even with event exclusive Pokemon, 5th gen: 155, 6th and 7th: 159.)
I'm going to go ahead and assume that the cut Pokemon are probably all of the legendaries and mythicals. Some of which are not obtainable through normal gameplay (Arceus), and many of them are obtainable through their respective games. For example, Landorus and its variations have forms (Therian?) that are only obtainable through some niche 3DS game no one cares about. Xerneas is definitely cut from this game, since it was overpowered in sun and moon (I might be wrong). All of the Megas too, because I'd imagine it will take time to add the stones in and a logical story. In time, GameFreak will be able to patch these Pokemon in as they find ways to probably balance them. In the meantime, all of my legendaries will stay in my Pokemon Sun boxes. As for the man children that are complaining about not being able to transfer their legendaries, then good riddance to you mate, no one cares. I'm getting Shield regardless.
I don't usually care about FIFA, but I know many of you do. EA's showing their incompetency as usual. I feel sorry for those of you who still buy their garbage.
This is pretty tame compared to how ecchi usually goes. People overreact to the smallest thing, it's pretty annoying. How about solving real problems in the world? Anime girls look young, but they're not real people, so we shouldn't hold the same beliefs on them. Take your frustration on the Arabs that sell younger girls to others as polygamy wives, which is a real problem that no one seems to talk about here...
Most VNs don't even have gameplay, cough Nekopara cough, so I usually don't bring them up to the same level of expectations I would have for a game like Astral Chain. Just knowing that this one at least has some gameplay, and it has at least some ecchi is enough for me. I don't care what SJWs have to say about a fanservice "game" meant for weebs like me. Everyone can have their opinions, and I just shared my insanely unpopular opinion.
As mentioned in the article, it truly is just code for formatting. The Wii U and 3DS are also listed, so no surprise there. That's about as much code that will be written for Nintendo hardware by Activision's incompetent devs.
Edit: I know they brought over the crash games, but that's only because of a dedicated programmer that actually likes the system. See? Just one competent developer there.
Astral Chain instantly grabbed me, but Town is currently not on my list. What was shown in the direct was not enough to excite me, since the mechanics were briefly shown (looks very generic). Hopefully GameFreak can change that by explaining the mechanics at E3 and showing more gameplay (variety in monsters, extra features, etc.).
This will help me get Fire Emblem:Three Houses, Astral Chain, Daemon X Machina, and Pokemon Sword. I will save around $40, which is a really good deal in my eyes.
