It works pretty simply: once you buy DOS2 from the E-Shop and load up the game, you’ll be asked if you want to link to Steam. If you choose to, it’ll automatically grab your saves from the elusive and impenetrable Steam cloud (you’ll see how we managed this next week), and your save will be playable on the Switch. It works vice-versa, too. Finished with a game? It’ll upload the save back into the cloud.

This Nintendo direct was basically....

Spend money on these games you already spent money on in the past decade... two decades... three decades. Kthnxs.
I dont have a lot of those games so it is fine by me.

It needed more anime tho.

If you ignore all the upcoming (anywhere) games, modern stuff (multiplatform/future games now count as "past decade" lol?), new reveals and exclusives.

Kthnxs.

It was a 40min direct with just a couple of new game announcements. Everything else was ports and updates. They can do much better.

Hold up! I just caught the last 20 seconds of Giant Bomb and they said Deadly Premonition 2 and then i see that tweet that it's true and SWERY is involved. Banger of a Direct!

I'm in!

Trials of Mana ($59.99 CAD) has better regional pricing in Canada than Ni No Kuni ($64.99).

Square Enix usually has awful regional pricing here and Namco's is usually mostly alright. So its weird seeing it be the complete opposite. Nice to finally have both up for preorder though none the less. Wheres my Digimon at tho?

NNKR regional pricing is not great, but it is just in line with what I was waiting for. Now just need to think if I should pre-order it and get that juicy wallpaper or wait.

In other news, Greedfall keeps getting more and more of my attention every day, I might jump on it too. And while I'm not super sure about VTMB2, the new faction they announced today will be definitely the one I'll be joining.

Went to the pantry to get some bread and Nutella. The nutella bottle had ants all over it but not inside it.

I ate it anyway.
You should have shared some nutella with the ants 🐜

How i feel now.
I'd upvote it but I HATE HATE HATE exclusives of a sequel to another platform I don't own and most nintendo fanboys get the side eye. I'm gonna sound like a dick but nintendo fans go so fucking overboard (a VOCAL as fuck minority) that it turns me off from all of their directs and annoy's me at the same time that I could never justify the cost of a nintendo console to myself.

But, good for those who have it I guess. I end up just annoyed. (Christ I am in an awful mood this week, I apologize everyone)

Yeah, I wanted a quick snack and it was what I had on hand. It is raining quite heavily in my city.


Oh man.... hopefully it isn't as bad as it looks. Flooding is no joke.

Shame its not crossplay but this is still nice. Surprising that Steam actually tweeted about it though.
Ya it's strange, as far as what I have seen all the Steam Twitter page normally does is tweet about new game releases and games that are on sale.

It has been worse. But yeah, in these three days it will rain 60-70% of the water the city recieves in a year.

Terry in smash teaser was great.
But i wanted gameplay :v

Also deadly premonition 1 needs a major overhaul on pc if we could get it.

Just spent 20 minutes looking for the last 3 gems in this Spyro level, I have come to the conclusion they do not exist.

Google says the fairy points to the gems.woops
Fairy or sparc? In original gsmes holding Ll 4 shoulder buttoms will have sparx aim at gems' direction which is kept in the remakes iirc.

What the name of the game
Moon: Remix RPG Adventure.

Its an old PS1 game that inspired Earthbound and Undertale. It never came to the west and multiple fan localization attempts got cancelled or faded away before completion. Its coming to the Switch with an English release for the first time soon. It was widely acclaimed when it first came out and it has a strong cult following in Japan. So people have been pretty excited to finally try it out in english.

But here's the thing, why are people losing their minds over this? exactly what in this game?

One of the most unique RPG's currently available. Undertale took heavy influence from it. Its not about battles, (hence why its called an anti-rpg) but helping the worlds dead monsters' souls reunite with their bodies by helping them with quests. Some are short and some are super indepth and lengthy.

Its a critically acclaimed cult classic that has had its english release prevented on multiple occasions. People in Japan LOVE this game and a ton of people in the west are excited to experience it for themselves.

Its a super weird game and its hard to really explain. But I'm personally really excited to finally play it, as Undertale is one of my favorite games of all time.

Speaking of weird Japanese games getting fixed up:

They fixed all of Xenoblade's hideous faces.



PC emulation no longer definitive way to play if they really fixed it that much.
Yeah, it's not a simple HD port. It's a proper remaster, almost remake territory.

Its a full blown remake, and it seems like they're bringing back cut content.





This area, named Bionis' Shoulder was only visible in a cutscene at the end of the game and cant be visited normally. Its in the files for the game and its massive (but unfinished). Looks like its making its way back in the Switch remake.

As a future Switch owner, this direct filled me with joy tbh. Never played the original FE or Xenoblade (because lol, imagine owning a WiiU unironically) :p

Plus Animal Crossing looks AMAZING and they gave us a release date! \o/

Now if only they would also finally announce a new Girls' Mode/Style Savvy....

edit: But I do own the N3DS exclusive version of Xenoblade, hopefully someday XCX gets a Switch remake as well!

I guess I'm going to just replay the game now, it took me maybe 30+ hours just to understand the basics of the gameplay. I just winged most of what I was doing, using Shulk to kill pretty much everything and I would later find out that is a very bad strategy since there are certain enemies that he is strong against but also others that he is not that strong against.

I thought Nintendo that due to some technical issues that despite how much they would like to XCX would just not be possible on the system.



I'm starting to wonder if I should just try to trade my N/S and pay $100USD to get the one with the better battery life but as some one has mentioned here the OG versions will have some hardware vulnerability that will make it easier to hack and for me that means I would be using it to run an emulator on my PC

The newer 'Mariko' Switch units are definitely patched and it's probably won't be hackable (if ever). That was an OK Direct. I'm mostly interested in Moon, Deadly Premonition 2 (WTF!), Tokyo Mirage Sessions and Xenoblade. Although with Xenoblade, the dynamic resolution will probably kill its IQ again. Playing a fully-modded Xenoblade with Bighead's HD Texture Pack on Dolphin is probably the most definitive way you can get at the moment.

Remaster is touching up the visuals to make them look cleaner and smoother and also improve performance.
Remake is changing up the visuals at least.
