Pls sony do a big reveal of this soon
I think about the $500 leaving my bank account and it grants me at least a little patience for a minute lol.
I wonder if Microsoft puts future Activision/Blizzard games on Switch pro.
The Switch pro should be as powerful as Steam deck or in that ballpark at the least. So if Microsofts goal is to compete directly with Sony and make people leave the Sony ecosystem for the missing 3rd parties then it could be smart to support new Switch. They could also bypass negative press about monopolies and exclusivity talk. The new Switch should easily run new COD games at 720p or wtvr. So they put their games on Xbox consoles, Switch Pro, BNet, Gamepass, Steam etc and they won't lose out on much not releasing for PS5 this gen.
PSVR came out in Oct 2016 so they will probably do something similar this time.
Reveal event in like August/July and then preorders etc for the Fall release.
The same reveal event will probably be their E3 alternative with the new games news etc.

Ha with me it's more like the longer I have the money sitting around the more likely I am to do something dumb and unplanned with it.
Supposedly there are "insiders" who are saying there's meant to be a big event for it this spring to show off the headset and some games but we'll see. I feel like insiders nowadays are more unreliable than ever, particularly with sony stuff.
I pretty much didn’t follow Arceus at all. Is it really Pokemon x Monster Hunter as it appears at first glance ?
Yes, the gameplay loop is similar. Taking mission in the main hub, then go to an area and hunt for Pokémon to fill in the Pokedex. People are saying that the story is surprising good but the marketing is hiding every single bit of it. Likely intentional.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus Reviews
While Pokémon Legends: Arceus has its flaws - notably on the technical and graphical side - most critics agree that it's just the shakeup the franchise needed, resulting in one of the best...
opencritic.com
I've played it about five hours and just reached the second hub area. I'm enjoying it a lot. It's not really open world, but there are several large hub areas ala SMT V (just looking at the status screen, I'm guessing there are 5). Exploration and catching are the main focus of the game with a secondary focus on battling. The combat is actually kinda difficult by Pokemon standards and I've had several dicey situations where I've almost died. My major complaints are that the game is ugly as sin and filling out Pokedex entries can be slightly tedious.
It is, but filling out the Pokedex entry consists of doing things like "catch X number of Pokemon", "defeat X number of Pokemon", "defeat X number of Pokemon with Y move" and so on. You only need 10 points to finish each Pokedex entry, but some Pokemon can be fairly rare so you'll run around a bit just waiting for them to respawn which is where the tedium can set in.Isn’t that a major part of the game though?
That’s because they were selling it for £35 with a coupon whereas everyone else was selling it for £45-50.
It's February. Hopefully we will see a Nintendo Direct soon. I need to know what Monolith Soft is working on.
If it's not XCX2 then i don't care.
Actually that's a lie, if they're working on a game centred around Nia then i'm interested. Need more best welsh girl in games.

I'm ready for some new Fire Emblem news. I know one leaker was talking about a new game in 2022 and a Genealogy remake next year. Hopefully they're correct.
I haven't played FE4, but If it's anything like FE2 Echos, they'll simply put a new coat of paint on it and keep it mechanically the same, for better or worse.
I really wish Nintendo would rerelease the Tellius duology already. I played Path of Radiance, but never got around to Radiant Dawn and I'm too lazy to emulate. If Nintendo doesn't deliver I might just use Dolphin when I get my Steam Deck.
Arceus has sold 6.5 million copies in a week.
Holy moly, just surreal how easily they hit high numbers. I was kinda sorta interested in Arceus since it actually deviated from the usual gameplay loop, but I will definitely wait for a sale (which, with Nintendo means I might be able to get $15 dollars off two years from now
)
Got a second hand copy of Metroid Dread and it seems a little temperamental?
Every few times I insert it it’ll come up with a message saying cart can’t be read. Reinserting it seems to fix it though. None of my other switch games do this
is this a worry? Looking on Reddit it seems this kind of thing isn’t that uncommon at times with carts?

Check the back of the cartridge and see if the connectors are bent in any way. I had an issue with that with a rental copy of Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and I had to send it back. It also scared me off from buying used Switch games in the future so I guess Nintendo will get more of my money directly now.
I just need Monolith Soft to make an appearance. Please!

If it's primarily 1H stuff, I'm guessing it'll be focused more on already announced games like Splatoon 3 and Advance Wars. Xenoblade 3 could very well be the final announcement though.
Part of me thinks we might see Final Fantasy Tactics Remastered. It was part of the Nvidia leak and some new FFT figures were announced several days ago. Of course it might be too early since it would take the wind out of Triangle Strategy's sails. Also Shigesato Itoi tweeted about the Direct:
I assume it's something mundane like Earthbound on Nintendo Switch Online, but I'd love for it to be something more.

There technically was a new Fire Emblem game announced.
Overall a pretty underwhelming Direct. Xenoblade 3 looks great though. Also the Mario Kart DLC is getting added to the NSO expansion pass so I might be tempted to subscribe for that since I would have bought it anyway.

Xenoblade 3 got announced and it's looking good, so I'm feeling swell.
I still feel the emotion rush towards Xenoblade 3 after a few hours. I am that happy towards this announcement.
SQEX stuff (outside Kingdom Heart Cloud) are excellent as well. I was expecting the come back of Live A Live but didn't expect it to be a full HD2D remake. It looks sick!
Sucks that there is no Fire Emblem news. But I feel like a new one is very close. Also I can totally see Kirby selling over 10 million. It is salient that so much heart and effort is being put into that game.

That xenoblade gif looks cool. There might be enough games now for me to justify a switch purchase.
As I said in the Emulation thread I was hunting an OG switch for a reasonable price, but doesn't really seems like an option. I wanted one so I could rip my own games.
But I might just get a newer model and then decide where to play each game.
And get the copies from maybe questionable sites after that if I chose the emulator.

I looooved Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii, so hmh would love to play 2 and 3. But not sure about buying a Switch. Maybe if they release Switch 2.
It's my opinion only, but my Switch purchase was easily justified by Breath of the Wild and Xenoblade 2. Both are masterpiece in their own way, spent 200 hours on the former and 300 hours on the latter. I also fully expect another playthrough on them very soon.
If you don't want to get the hardware, I would say just buy the game and play it in your own way. (blink blink) Meanwhile... I am tempted to sell my old one and get an OLED now haha.

The Fire Emblem news is a real stab in the back. Especially because Hyrule Warriors performed like a slideshow at points. So it's hard to be excited for this...
But pretty much everything else was really good. Excited for Front Mission remasters, Xeno 3 looks good, and yes of course LiveALive remake.

This person posted a bunch of accurate Direct leaks several days before it aired. They mentioned another Fire Emblem this year so hopefully there will be a strategy game announcement.
But hey if Shamir is a playable character I'll probably still get it.
Age of Calamity made me extremely skeptical of any future Nintendo musou games, and with the way Three Houses is structured I'm afraid it will become a golden route where all the houses beat the big bad and sing kumbya before returning to the main timeline.
