Atlus is most likely just an official announcement of P5 Scramble coming west though I would really really like an update on SMT V

@tekknik I'm just saying it looks to me like the intention of creating this bot is much closer to the purpose of buying and reselling Switches for profit than it is to helping a friend or niece like you previously suggested. Which also implies that he knew exactly what this would be used for. To me, setting this free into the world like he did, even without directly using it to resell Switches himself, shows that he wanted to cause a little chaos without having to assume any of the responsibility for it.

@tekknik Actually since his he didn’t sell anything his motive was likely “i want a switch” or “my niece / nephew wants a switch”.

Literally taken from Nintendo Life's earlier article:
I decided to make it as a joke, but I quickly realized just how powerful it could be. Me and my friends were talking about reselling Nintendo Switches, and at one point my friend, nicknamed Bird, told me I should make a bot. And here we are today.

@tekknik So scalping is perfectly fine because people are choosing to pay 300% more than the original price? After all, why should only Nintendo profit from their product? Are you serious? You know who actually benefits from scalping like that? People who actually have the money to horde a bunch of Switches. That takes thousands of dollars to do what some of these people are doing. You know who's actually able to buy them at that ridiculous mark up? Other people with a lot of money who can afford it. You know who doesn't get to buy one at that price? Literally everyone else. This product has now been made unavailable to the average consumer. Choice has nothing to do with it. Rich people will buy what they want. Everyone else gets left in the cold.

I don't understand why there aren't more rules in place at online marketplaces to stop this kind of behavior. Making it so an item can't be resold for 6 months or even just not allowing new products to be sold for more than a 25% increase in MSRP would be nice. Like, why do we let scalpers exist? Who benefits from this aside from scalpers?

@FargusPelagius If you like Armored Core, you should really buy Daemon X Machina. I never see it on sale in the eShop so I recommend checking other retailers or Amazon which is where I found it for 30% off

Miyamoto is fine as long as he stops bursting into dev rooms screaming "But what if actually Starfox?!"

Wow that hair really makes him look like Zach Braff

@Kochambra Yeah Devil Survivor definitely belongs on there. Overclocked is in my top 3 SMT/Persona games. I'd buy a switch release in a heartbeat

Little does anyone know that the Digital Devil Saga games are probably the best on that whole list. Someone please play those games. Just as good if not better than the best SMT and Persona games. And easily better than Persona 5

Just bought Somnium Files! I would have preferred it on PS4 since I read that's the better experience but I've also been dying to play this game and waiting for a good sale since it came out

Almost wish they would delay the movie again just to redo this terrible track. Would have been hilarious to have a Crush 40 song in the movie

So we couldn't get Rex from Xenoblade 2 because it came out 2 years ago and that wasn't enough time but a game that just came out 5 months ago is fine??

That would be pretty cool but honestly there's already a really great project like this called A Fox In Space. Seriously I urge everyone to check that out

@GAMER1984dude At least they don't review bomb games for releasing on a system they don't own like other people 😏

This looks a bit more like Makoto Shinkai's style to me, but great video!

Yay Neo Cab! Been wanting to pick this up!

Yeah I dunno. I really liked my time with Sword and Shield until I got to the end and realized there was a complete lack of content. We paid $60 for a game that had less content than a $40 Pokémon game, and now that it's been out for 2 months they're telling us we can pay for the rest of it? I just don't know

I just still feel so stupid that I named my character Akira not knowing the other twin gets named Akira. So now I have the Akira twins running around and dialogue gets very confusing lol

And SMT V. Can't forget SMT V!

@PikaPhantom It's a rather strategically picked quote as it's both ambiguous out of context and located near the bottom of the article. Still a great read though

Everyone talking about Dexit but no one is mentioning that co op battle tower was cut, which really hinders this games post game content for some

@mist Feez-ah-may

I have to be honest here guys, I actually enjoyed this game more than I did Persona 5. I mean that. While Persona 5 has deeper gameplay mechanics and a much larger story/cast of characters, the pacing tends to slow to a crawl and drag quite a bit. While I wouldn't exactly call TMS's story good, it also doesn't take that story nearly as seriously as P5 and kept it's pacing nice and quick to the point where it never bothered me. Add that brisk pace to a charming cast of characters, oddball and quirky sense of humor, fun and even challenging combat with fairly deep character customization and you really do get a great game here.

I really love Fan Gamer. Their site is definitely worth a look especially if you're a fan of indie games. Their merch for Okami is very tempting and I already have the Yooka-Laylee plush

@hadrian If you don't mind me asking, what was the last platformer you really enjoyed? I can understand not liking the original Yooka-Laylee but Impossible Lair is quite fantastic and just about on par with Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze

I'll take one Yooka-Laylee RPG in the same vein as Paper Mario Thousand Year Door please! Let those charming Playtonic characters and writing shine!

Anyone else wonder if this was just a horrible miscommunication?
"Guy's, with this rerelease we have an opportunity to avoid the censorship controversy we caused last time and ensure that Western players get the same experience as the Japanese players"
"Make both versions the same. Got it"

Persona must be exhausted from all those sales. Better go to bed early and get some rest

This is a FANTASTIC game and any fans of 3D platformers, especially Mario Sunshine, really need to pick this up. That being said, I am a bit weary of these developers. I got this game day one for PS4 only to have them immediately drop support for it and not bring any of the DLC, added modes, or difficulty to the PS4 version, only to be told most of it is launching for the Switch version which they originally said would never happen. Now I'm worried the rest of the DLC won't come to the Switch version either

This is great. I love how they reference the instruction manual for Sonic 2

I just want to help clarify to everyone that this probably has much more to do with Chris breaking his Non Disclosure Agreement with Nintendo by revealing he was voicing Byleth prior to the games release. No idea why the NL article doesn't mention this

This review confuses me. While it is very well written and even as a fan of this game I agree with just about everything, the score just doesn't seem to match up. To someone who enjoys visual novels very occasionally, this reads like an 8. Most of the complaints are pretty minor and hardly detract from the real meat of this game: The writing and ambience. But instead this game was scored for people who don't know what visual novels are. would you do that with FIFA or Madden just for the people who don't have much understanding of football? (see what I did there? Lol) Sports games, shooters, RTS, farm sim games are all rated based on how they perform within their respective genres and yet visual novels are treated like they have no established genre they belong to and are therefore "Barely a videogame" despite having a dedicated fan base from people who enjoy these games to people who even make them. Just to clarify 7 is still a perfectly fine score, just not one I feel reflects it's value in its own genre.

Decent idea, not a great deal. A lot of the eligible games listed are only $50 anyway. Actually even some of the $60 games are cheaper on Amazon. Good for anyone who already knows they're getting Fire Emblem, Astral Chain, or Super Mario Maker 2

Awww. Seeing Hinawa for a Mother's Day event makes me sad

Maybe they should axe their online department too lol

They didn't dub Strange Journey either. They're clearly being cautious with where they put their money.

Why?? These games were left uncompleted for a reason and should probably stay that way. Only 64 era game I would like to see a final version for would be the original version of Dinosaur Planet before it was changed to Starfox Adventures

I honestly enjoyed A Hat In Time more than Mario Odyssey. This is a must buy for 3D Platformer fans

@NintendoFan4Lyf Hahaha! True but I'd like to think that it's got more than THAT kind of appeal going for it. In the original special edition artbook, it mentions somewhere that at first the art director was quite intimidated by the task of compiling such a large art book but half way in he had gotten so many different pieces of art that it actually became much harder to figure out what would be left out. Hopefully between that fact and all the art for Torna The Golden Country, this ends up being a pretty solid follow up to what was already a really great art book

@AshFoxX You should pick up The First Tree then.

This looks so good I originally thought the image was CG. But yeah still wouldn't buy it :/

Alright Torna. I'm pulling for you. Let's see what you got

This is like when you don't get invited to the cool kids party so you throw your own party and no one shows up

@TheFongz @baller98 This isn't more expensive though. This is the EXACT SAME price as the Stellar Edition released on other platforms. Cheaper for Switch even if you take advantage of that 20% off pre order discount. I mentioned this above but the version that's $10 cheaper on other consoles is only the base version of the game. They still have to pay $40 for the Stellar Edition just like us

@onex @setezerocinco @AshFoxX
Guys, guys, this isn't a Switch tax. This is $39.99 for the STELLAR EDITION. It's essentially the definitive edition which is priced the same as on other platforms. The version that is $10 less is just the base version that we unfortunately aren't getting on Switch

I don't understand why you would cast someone as incredible as Tony Jaa and give him a big heavy weapon like the Great Sword and not give him something light like Dual Blades

I don't know. The constant commentary gave me Bubsy and Gex flashbacks

Was interested in this. Now I'm not. Oh well
