The whole invite thing really annoys me. I have all Nintendo consoles since the GameCube, if I can't get this one I will be really P****d, looks like it will be time to continue playing Switch 1 games,

I really really hope, there are JRPGs in the direct, Fire Emblem 18, Metaphor: ReFantazio and Zelda Ocarina of Time HD would be a dream team, also something from Monolith Soft would be welcome too.

Please let Fire Emblem 18, be in the direct, considering 17 was finished in 2021, the Devs have had well over 4-5 years to make a new entry.

New Fire Emblem game, not a remaster but a beautiful graphics, entry running on the new hardware.

I wish I could play this now, will The Game Collection UK, ship copies early, they gave me, The legend of heroes Trails Through Daybreak II on February 7 2025, a week earlier than release day.

Tales of Xillia & Xillia 2 for Switch 1 and Tales of Arise for Switch 2, I'm a Nintendo dedicated gamer so I pick any JRPGs for Switch, anything from Nihon Falcom, Monolith soft and Bandai, I buy; in fact I have all Nihon Falcom's catalogue on switch, I would look to pick up any Tales of, games that make the jump to Nintendo's JRPG console.

JRPGs are best at home on the Switch, portable JRPGs are a dream.

The first game was really good, I put 120 hours into it and really enjoyed it.

Best game ever made, it looks as if there are new characters too!
Hope it gets a sequel.

Instead of posting stupid stuff on Twitter/X why doesn't Nintendo of America just post the reveal?

This game is cheaper on Nintendo eshop than anywhere else

So pleased Trails Through Daybreak is the 5th best game this year as that game was excellent.

@Zeebor15 that sounds really frustrating, I'm a gamer who prefers physical copies and I always prefer having the game arrive on launch day.

Having to wait an extra month when you know other people are already playing is real annoying.

@Zeebor15 is there something wrong with Limited Run games, I have bought a switch game published by Clear River and it was okay.

@vec42 For anyone intusted in pre-ordering a physical copy of Trails in the Sky, it will be handled by Clear River Games for Europe and Amazon as well.

@Serpenterror that's okay, fingers crossed, Ys: Memories of Celceta, will come to Nintendo, I would guess either late 2025 or early 2026 western launch.
I would love to play all the Ys games on Nintendo hardware,

It's real: https://www.gematsu.com/2024/12/ys-memories-of-celceta-coming-to-switch-in-spring-2025-in-japan

@ScalenePowers, the Ys fandom has the game listed for switch.

https://isu.fandom.com/wiki/Ys:_Memories_of_Celceta

@Dimjimmer, it's confusing because the original reveal has the game running on the switch with Nintendo button controls but today's reveal is ps5, anyways I feel confident the game will run well on switch/switch2 as Falcom's switch games run well.

This is probably running on Switch 2,
Also Ys: Memories of Celceta is Coming to Switch in Spring 2025 in Japan.

@Vyacheslav333 I know but surely couldn't Xseed games just use their English translation for Switch, weird thing is, Cold Steel 1&2 are published by NIS America on PS Vita, pal regions.

@ScalenePowers, still waiting for Cold Steel 1 and 2 to make the jump to Nintendo consoles.
I wish so much Falcom would port all their games to Nintendo.

23 games, 660 hours, my most played games:

1: The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak - 127 hours
2: Trails Azure 115 hours.
3: Trails Zero 80 Hours .

@Tyranexx, I really enjoyed the music and the story, also the characters were excellent too, the game is equally good as some triple A titles imo,
Falcom games are underrated, I only realised how good they are, when i tried Trails of Cold Steel III Nintendo switch in 2022.

Sincere condolences to Falcom for their loss and I hope they continue to support Nintendo with good games,

@Tyranexx Ys VIII was excellent too, I really enjoyed that game.

@EarthboundBenjy, I would say Falcom's quality is as good as some Nintendo games,
My 3 favourite Falcom games are Trails Daybreak, Ys VIII and Trails Azure.

RIP, Kato, Falcom is the best third party dev on switch, imo, really enjoyed all the trails and Ys games on switch.
He is in the credits of the latest entries, trails daybreak and Ys Nordics.

Please Nintendo reveal this thing, everyone else has either played it or seen it.

@Ironcore Nintendo are taking way to long to reveal the console, informed gamers have known about the console for years, I first heard of the rumours late 2022.

They should have unveiled it in October this year.

Sad times, everyone but Nintendo has revealed it.

@Shepdawg1 I was thinking, that with Xenogears, Nintendo should hire Square Enix to make a Remaster in similar graphics as Star Ocean - The Second Story R, with newly remastered music too.

I would be happy with raw ports of the Xenosaga trilogy, as those games still look visually impressive.

Another thing I thought was fascinating, is the fact that Tetsuya Takahashi, has been developing games for over 35 years, he started on Ys series in 1989.

Good news imo, this means Xenoblade is 100% owned by Nintendo, best developers in gaming in my opinion, this does mean through that any Xenogears remake or Xenosaga would have to be consulted by Nintendo first tho.

@cvrator, I played TLS, recently and it was really good.

@Anachronism, hopefully Sawano will return, if he does, the game will get a boost in sales due to his popularity.

Yasunori Mitsuda, is talented enough to handle XCX and if required, XCX II.
He composed all the other Xeno games, Gears, Saga and the Klaus saga.
Mitsuda knows how to make an OST with Sci-fi themes.

@Anachronism, that would be great, I heard him saying the soundtrack was the foundation of his work afterwards.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xenoblade_Chronicles/comments/13tfac9/hiroyuki_sawano_mentioned_in_his_fanclub_blog/?rdt=47169

I would be very pleased if some of the music is faithfully remastered for the switch version similar to the way Nintendo, did it for Xenoblade in 2020.

Hiroyuki Sawano is a lot more popular nowadays, he works with various artists in Asia and has millions of views on social media.

@HeadPirate yeah like it was guys such as Takayuki Yanase, https://mynintendonews.com/2014/12/01/the-metal-gear-rising-mechanical-designer-helped-create-mechs-for-xenoblade-chronicles-x/

Strangely enough, he designed the Mecha and also mobile suit Gundam.

@HeadPirate metal gear solid staff actually worked on XCX.

@Vyacheslav333 I played the EU version on Wii U and it was fine, it still had swimsuits and hot outfits, it's just I'm worried that they might cut some stuff out of the Switch version like songs and outfits.

@Anachronism, the soundtrack is Hiroyuki Sawano's property, that is why I'm concerned some soundtracks might be missing; my favourite song in the game, was licensed for use in game.

I also hope to see some additional music too, with some of Hiroyuki Sawano's new singers.

My favourite song from XCX:

I'm grateful Nintendo announced the game but we need more information: how does the combat work, is the original OST returning plus additional info on the online modes.

I'm hoping this is a faithful remaster of the original Wii U title and I hope no content is removed/altered.

@johnedwin yes it will https://www.famitsu.com/article/202410/22673

@themightyant, this is my favourite Nintendo game of all time, I hope it sells very well, i might be picking up multiple copies for the online mode as the online arenas were very fun, I spent 400 hours on this game and plan to spend many more 100s of hours on this, Nintendo has finally answered my prayers.😀
I have been waiting for this multiple years.👍

When Nintendo notified me about this, my dreams have come true now, we can finally know the real ending for this game, in addition, excellent online game play too.

Yes my prayers are answered.
After 5 long years.

@AStupidID I thought the same thing: in addition, a new smash game is definitely needed, been a few years since I last played ultimate,

Xenoblade 2 used the engine for Xenoblade X so this is no suprise.

@Johnnel, Nintendo takes care of their franchises so having the entire series available globally would be amazing, it is annoying being a fan of a relatively obscure franchise like Xeno because some of the games are locked on old consoles; I wish Nintendo could make the switch/switch 2 a legacy console so every Xeno game in addition every Nintendo first party game should be available worldwide.

@Johnnel, I think Nintendo and Monolith soft should purchase Xenogears licence from square and hire a external studio, to remaster/port the game to Nintendo hardware.

I love anything Xeno related and having all the series on Nintendo hardware would be a win.

That moment Elma appeared when Noah and Mio were playing the flute sent chills down my spine; please Nintendo and Monolith Soft port Xenoblade X to the Nintendo switch I have been waiting so long.

The fact that KOS-MOS and Elma appeared but not the protagonist from Xeno-Gears, means that both Xenoblade X and Xenosaga are equally canon, implying, they are both connected to the main trilogy.

@Zeebor15, I agree, so they should just have the entire trails saga, labeled in Roman numerals otherwise it is quite confusing for new players.

Trails in the sky was originally known in Japanese as,
英雄伝説VI 空の軌跡 which translates to Legend of heroes vi: trails in the sky.
Falcom should have kept this naming format, for future entries in the series.

@Zeebor15, yes you are correct, although the current game world building is just focused on Trails.

Think of it like the Xeno series, there are Xenogears, Saga and Blade although each 'sub series' is unique and different.

@Coversnail, I love this series, already own all games available on Switch and I want Xseed to publish the forgotten Cold Steel games to Nintendo.

I presume Nis America, is doing the publishing rights for the remake, as they have mentioned recently about making western releases simultaneously to Japan
