Spoiler alert: A princess gets kidnapped.

Unless your new to gaming (you get a pass) if you don't know what a JRPG is, this game is most likely not for you.

@LikelySatan 100%. Ironically, that type of game is what got me into heavy gaming. I still have fond memories of dumping hours playing RPG isometric PC games in the '90s.

Starfield is...okay? I'm playing it and not addicted to it. Think part of the problem is playing this immediately after BG3. I cared about almost all of the BG3 characters. Starfield has annoyingly bland characters. I knew all the hype there was no way it could live up to it. If you can get it cheap one day, worth a play. I wouldn't pay AAA prices for it, if I had to do it over.

Ugh, remakes. Love 'em and hate 'em. Rather have a new game. Do love the Super Mario RPG remake, from what I seen. There is a game that NEEDED a remake. A 3DS game, even from 10 years ago, did not.

@solarwolf07 It's going to be good but let's not get crazy...

I'm about to Steam Deck the sh*t out of this. That console was born for games like this.

@TheBoilerman You don't internet much, do you? j/k

@nessisonett You need the +2 crutch to platinum.

Metroidvanias are one of those genres that can produce really really good games or a big stinkfest. There almost is no in-between. (And I know some people hate that term and it just makes me want to use it even more.) mwahahaha

I'm not a fan of visual novels by any stretch of the imagination, and this isn't completely one of those, but really close. However, I really enjoyed this game, it's got something to it I can put my finger on. Would love a sequel at some point.

Day one purchase for me. Gonna snort it and then inject the rest into my veins. Come to Daddy!

Is the supposed "joy" expressed in this article, satire? Has to be satire with a sprinkle of sarcasm.

A dream come true for who? Not consumers. As if the Switch needed a performance hit when playing games. If this isn't the Swan Song of the current Switch model, I don't know what is. If it's baked into a new Switch model and performance accounted for, that may be a different story, but I don't see the current version being able to "chew bubble gum and walk at the same time." Ridiculous notion of this being a dream come true, unless you mean a Nightmare on Switch Street.

Agreed. People worried about BG3 can't be serious gamers.

A rising tide lifts all boats.

The games I've bought and traded or sold, would put almost any collector's cache to shame.

@Anti-Matter And this has zero to do with what people do now. That was the main point of the article.

One of the very first isometric RPG games I played was a game I think was called Immortal. Took me forever to remember the name or find it, but figured it out years ago, and then I may have forgotten it, but think that was what it was called. One RPG game I fondly remember playing but have yet to find anywhere, and as you said it's hard to Google something without the name, is a TurboGrafx RPG with towns and bars. I'm sure it had horrible graphics, but in my weird memory it looked as good as any RPG today. Nostalgia is indeed a powerful drug. (If anyone thinks they know what game I'm referring to, even with that sparse information, please feel free to guess or remind me.)

@Kimyonaakuma Who is mounting that thing in their house?

I enjoyed it but not as much as the first one.

Happened to me once when buying a PS1 game at Babbages (remember them?). Luckily we were still in the mall (also mostly defunct) eating lunch and I opened it to my horror. They fixed it when I went back but no telling if i made it all the way home and went back a day later.

Love seeing what everyone else is playing. Picked up Diablo IV myself. It's great bit feels a little too familiar. Just started, though

@Wolfleaf You shouldn't wait. Easily the best game and the DLC Wave 4 is better than a lot of standalone titles.

@gcunit 100% that. Hopes up and then cut down at the knees. I think they get as excited as we do and unfortunately embargos make it hard to be a critic before the game releases.

@nhSnork I do like to see these kind of apps and thinking about everyone's overall mental well-being. It's not discussed enough.

My favorite sleep app is watching The Lazarus Project. I really like the show but I fall asleep 10 minutes into it every time.

Reading the title of this article is giving me a big huge monstrous obtuse gigantic headache.

This article blows...

I've owned almost every console from the Big 3 and I can tell you if you get a Nintendo you are 99% doing it for the first party games.

My mother land! (A few hundred years ago.)

@ralphdibny figma ur imagination

@ZeldaFan83 Yeah, especially to not talking about it all...

I'll believe it when I see it.

@Exerion76 I haven't heard too many naysayers but it is definitely an ARPG. Some of my favorite games have been ARPGs, though. So, nothing wrong with that. What it isn't, is turn-based.

Might last as long as Ganon's revival.

@johnvboy A lot like seeing animals and clouds. Do kids do that these days, or do they look up from their phone long enough?

I've owned every Nintendo console and the FTC is right. I have a PS5 and a Nintendo, very different products. I don't own a Xbox because I got a decent rig that plays any games in that universe.

@Rooty Think you misspelled something.

Of all the extreme capitalistic crap going in the US this seems like it should be a lower priority than it is.

I'm looking forward to this and even if it was absolutely ***** (it won't be), I'm buying it in hopes of encouraging a sequel.

Alright peeps, we been asking for this for decades. I don't care what happens, this is a miracle and should be rightfully looked into by the Vatican.

If it ever comes to pass, I'm definitely expecting more Wind Waker than Twilight Princess. If I could get behind anime for Zelda/Link it would definitely be a darker Twilight Princess story. Zero chance that gets green-lit, though.

@ModdedInkling It's also their job to market the game. If the average Nintendo user doesn't really understand what this is, that's on them. I don't even know if I would truly know much about the game if it wasn't for gaming sites.

Why am i getting Game Gear vibes?

How is fast travel not something you figure out in the first 30 minutes? Wonder what the reaction would have been to BOTW or TOTK if they truly made you traverse everywhere? It's an intriguing thought and definitely would have ensured you saw more of the game than the main quest but this generation is definitely locked into fast travel being a gimme in open world type games. Playing the RE4 Remake now and really wish it had a fast travel system. Maybe it does and I haven't figured that out after playing for 20 hours? I have made it to the castle, so if it's before that, I completely missed it. Scared to look because anytime you look online for something about a game you usually find out more information than you wanted to know.

@SACHism I get it. I'm not into FPS multiplayers and that's a big chunk of games out there. These type of games are definitely more in the I prefer to play alone category.

I'm going to go out on a thick and sturdy limb and say the Switch version will only be a good choice if you have no other choice.

Could also say why the gear with asterisk are good to have. I see some have the pic saying it's effect, some don't. Also, might be great to list the effects of having that particular gear fully upgraded and worn as a set. But so far, so good.

Never seen people so upset about a movie. As long as Nintendo keeps making Zelda games, I'm good. Movie is either good, or it isn't. For a protagonist that has spoken less words than Mario (ignoring the '80s) I have no doubt whatever they do will be controversial.

@Coalescence That's true but what's the next big system seller from Nintendo? They're either keeping a tight lid on things, or it's Pikmin 4 and then tumbleweeds and crickets. Maybe if you have a big backlog for Switch. this makes perfect sense, but it does feel more like the current Switch is almost EOL. Guess we'll see, it certainly would have seemed more useful even a year ago, at least to me.
