@daveMcFlave I hope so. Definitely want to see some US gameplay when it releases. Reviews are ok, but I really don't trust those--I want to see the game run and then make my own review. Won't buy it day one because there are so many first-day patches when games come out anymore.
@daveMcFlave I re-downloaded the game and tried again. Still stuttering in the part I was talking about, so now I am just going to give up and wait for X.
@daveMcFlave @Spider-Kev Unless there was an update done, the game started giving me problems in Chapter 2, when Adol walks around Balduq City. Adol walks so slow, and the citizens and buildings and whatnot kept popping in. It seems the framerate was really low for me at the point. Honestly, I would like to try it again but I am hesitant based upon my past experiences. Have there been any updates?
I am so, so worried about the graphics and performance of this on Switch. The game looks too good to be true (and I have a good memory of how Ys IX was a disaster).
How about a Trails game that doesn't have the Orbment system? That system I could never understand and it tears me away from all Trails games I start because I get so confused. If there was a YouTube video that explains it, I would be more than happy to watch it.
Looking over the trailer, it looks too graphical for the Switch to handle. I can already hear the critics complain about the framerate, the loading times and smooth transitions between screens, and just overall gameplay being repetitive. I hope I'm wrong, but this has become the pattern of 2024 releases this year.
A 7/10?!?!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? This game, with all of the fun and laughs I've constantly having, is easily a 9/10 in my book. Possibly even more. The gameplay loop of scouting and synthesizing monsters is extremely addictive and the Dragon Quest puns return in full fashion. Also, I am not seeing the technical mishaps Nintendo Life is having (pop-in backgrounds, crashing during battles, etc.) The game exceeded my expectations and it's all the better for it.
Two things stop me from enjoying BOTW. First, is the weapon degradation. I don't know how many times my weapon kept breaking, especially in the middle of an intense battle. Second, is the choice of life vs. stamina. I don't like the idea of choosing whether to have more life or more stamina at the close of every shrine. Both of those ideas ruin the game for me and that is why I never completed BOTW and not have any interest in TOTK.
Hunter X. You guys never reviewed it (you hardly review indie games anyways) but it's a delightful and challenging metroidvania coming from the team that made 3000th Duel.
@Smhjph And just how many games did he on that old system? If thwre were many games lost, It might be useful trading it in to Gamestop to offset the price of the Switch.
First of all, the 3DS that was stolen will never come back so all the games he had on it are gone. Second, there aren't any new or exciting news for 3ds games in the future as the system is almost burned out so I don't know why that student would be so happy. he should've just considered it a lost cause and start saving money for the Switch. Then he would be REALLY happy.
I think there is a problem with Bit Dungeon+. It seems when I beat the last boss (Soul Collector) when I try to move to the upper screen, a notice comes up saying "An Error occurred forcing the software to close." What causes this?

Re: Ys X: Nordics Lands On Switch In The West This October
@Spider-Kev I recently changed mine to docked when I bought an OLED. Maybe I should give it another shot?

Re: The Switch Is On The Road Again With The 'Play Nintendo Tour' (US)
Nothing close to me at all. But that's ok. I have my OLED and can boot up any of those games anytime I want.
Re: Feature: Is 'Trails Through Daybreak' The Fresh Beginning The Trails Series Needs?
@Qiaralris Is there a video breakdown for the orbment systems? The in-game explanations are not enough and very confusing.

Never heard of it
Re: Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes Reveals DLC Roadmap For 2024
How about fixing the base game on the Switch first before you work on publishing DLC?
Re: Square Enix To "Aggressively Pursue" Multiplatform Strategy, Includes "Nintendo Platforms"
They can start with updates for Dragon Quest X and XII. As far as digital games, Square Enix can also put those Final Fantasy Remasters on sale.

Re: Switch eShop Sale Knocks Up To 80% Off Select 'Metroidvanias'
I enjoyed Blue Fire as well! Highly recommended! Also, it's a shame that over half of this list NintendoLife doesn't have any reviews for.

Re: Soapbox: Obstinate And Addictive - Playing Final Fantasy For The First Time In 2023
Just wait until you had the RNG of have 8 or 9 monsters against your four heroes...then you will see what Final Fantasy is really made up of.
Re: 8-Bit NES-Inspired Platformer 'Bat Boy' Is Part Shovel Knight, Part Mega Man
With something this promising, it'll probably earn a 6 or 7 on Nintendo Life. Something is bound to be wrong somewhere in the game.

Re: Community: Have You Played A Great Switch Game We Missed? Let Us Know About It
You guys forgot about Aeterna Noctis. It is a challenging, metroidvania game that I've been following for some time now.

Re: Student Whose 3DS Was Stolen Is Given A Replacement By His Schoolmates
I would sell it on eBay to offset the Switch as well. That way I have a gaming future instead of a gaming past.
