I don't know if I'll pick this up, but I'd like to see more 3DS games get this treatment.

Love it. Want it. Need it.

It's obvious we're getting a remake of The Wand of Gamelon.

@StephenYap3 Happy you were able to find your money's worth, my man.

After a few more updates, this game will finally be worth $60.

No 3DS announcements? /s

Kind of disappointing art direction here. The new games look so faithful to their 3DS predecessors it suggests a lack of ambition. This extends to the inclusion of random encounters as well.

I'll still buy. Hopefully robust features and online functionality can compensate for lackluster visuals.

Don't play with my heart like this, Squeenix.

Mega Man Legends 3 approves.

Reminds me of some choice words from Inafune...

@MysteryCupofJoe Superstar Saga is a masterpiece! It's the best entry in the series, in my opinion. The sequels I played got increasingly easier and gimmicky.

I'd buy a Switch Mario & Luigi game in a heartbeat; one I hope returns to its roots. We must avert the death of the Mario RPG!

I didn't realize this rumor was popular enough to be struck down by a former PG dev.

Scalebound was going to be the push I needed to buy an X1, and I doubt I'm alone there. It was jarring to see such a crucial addition to the X1 library cancelled.

If true, I can't imagine this won't leave some X1 owners feeling burned. I guess they'll just have to buy a Switch!

Mega Man Legends 3?

No, of course not. </3

@Rohanrocks88 My first console was the SNES, too. Man, I loved that thing. I kept and played it until it finally died on me. It's still the longest console I ever held onto. It was also the first console I started importing games for. Good times.

I dropped off the Nintendo wagon not much longer after you. I didn't like the direction they took with the Wii, so I kept to PC gaming. I jumped back in for Smash and a few others on the Wii U, but I don't need to go over the Wii U's problems.

I completely agree, though. The Switch era is the first time in a while where it feels good to be a Nintendo fan. Nintendo's killing it, and the gimmicks are (for the most part) kept to a minimum. Their recent focus on the core gamer market is certainly worth acknowledging.

I'm cautiously optimistic . . . with an emphasis on the optimistic part. I have high hopes for the Switch era. Maybe it's not too wild of a suggestion to think we might see the likes of Star Fox, F-Zero, a traditional Paper Mario or maybe even Earthbound!

Anyway, only time will tell in the end. Thanks for the chat. Peace be with you, brother.

@Rohanrocks88 I see nothing wrong with being optimistic about the franchise, but Nintendo poured a good deal of money into marketing Star Fox Zero. You can only do so much for a bad game, though. The advertising campaign significantly outshone the game itself. Zero, as far as I can tell, still stands as the worst entry in the series in terms of sales.

Maybe it's reasonable to suggest Nintendo's gauging Star Fox's appeal with Starlink, but I worry Star Fox will go the way of some of Nintendo's other beloved legacy franchises.

But . . . my concerns are that of an older Nintendo fan approaching his 30s. Nintendo's likely more concerned with trying to appeal to newer audiences with new and engaging IPs than my demographic by reinvigorating old franchises.

I enjoyed I Am Setsuna but didn't care for Lost Sphere. Setsuna's atmosphere had a unique allure while Lost Sphere just seemed like a bunch of JRPG mechanics rolled into a convoluted and generic turn-based burrito.

This, on the other hand, is grabbing my attention. I like the more action-oriented approach. Definitely keeping this one on my radar!

I expect great things from this! Can't wait to give the demo a try later.

Well, I guess this is our Star Fox game; content built on an existing game. Nintendo doesn't seem to think there's enough enthusiasm for a standalone Star Fox title. It's disappointing to see such a beloved franchise reduced to an afterthought.

Best reveal for me. Can't wait!

Anyone mention the Grandia remasters yet?

I'm looking forward to everything, to be blunt. This year is slated to be a big one for Nintendo. Fire Emblem and Daemon X Machina look amazing.

I'd also appreciate some Joker gameplay in Smash . . . with a tease of the next newcomer.

Deserved! These were great games, and they hold up well.

Can't wait for CTR.

@Splatmaster What a time that was.

I'll probably be playing Smash. It's perfect for burst sessions.

Meme culture is just the worst.

This is more of an indictment on the Wii U than praise for the novelty mini consoles. Imagine what the sales would look like if they were continually mass produced.

@smashboy2000

@patbacknitro18 I will twerk if this is a hint at Sora. I'll do it.

Well, it's pretty clear these files weren't intended to be included in the build. I do hope "Brave" refers to Erdrick!

@LilDoggo48 I laughed. Much thanks, kind doggo.

Can't wait to flex my leaves on people.

The environments look nice. I can't say I like the character models, though.

Way to add salt to the wound, guys.

@harrystein This guy's comment history is pretty funny. I recommend it to everyone.

As for this game, I never played it. I certainly remember seeing it on shelves, though it didn't strike me as particularly interesting. Even now it looks like a painfully average game.

It's hard to justify picking this up with my current backlog. KH3 is nearly here, too.

Who didn't see this coming? Those that didn't need to get their eyes checked.

On a separate note, it's nice to see the Crash trilogy still selling.

Wow, they showed almost the whole season! I can get used to this. Here's to hoping Kefla and Roshi are the last two!

A Steve Mii costume would be more appropriate. I may be a little old for Minecraft's key demographic, but I don't think he's quite earned his spot to stand alongside gaming's giants.

If we're talking characters, there's a certain bear-bird duo that comes to mind. Granted, I'm biased with nostalgia. Green male Samus would be an okay pick, too.

If true, announcing this in the developer update would've been an example of good PR.

@ilikeike If what you say is true, I'll be double-dipping!

Localization isn't guaranteed. Some healthy skepticism is warranted here. Putting your eggs in one basket might lead to disappointment.

As a fan of the series, I couldn't bring myself to wait any longer. I caved a couple months back, and I couldn't be happier that I did! DQXI is a phenomenal JRPG, and you're doing yourself a disservice holding out for a game that may not even get an international release.

DQXI sits rightfully as one of my favorite JRPGs of all time. It's so ridiculously faithful to the classic JRPG formula you'll forget what year it is until its stunning graphics bring you back to 2019. I can go on, but I think you get the point. This game simply oozes quality.

TL;DR:

Don't wait. Get this game.

@dazzleshell Noted, thank you.

I wasn't aware you were emailed a code. I redeemed my points on my physical copy, but I never recieved a code. That was maybe 2 weeks ago.

Does this process take a while?

I think Zelda II deserves another play.

I remember this! I was more interested in Drift Stage, though. The music they released for the game rocks.

Boy, that's a lot of port begging. This article shines a spotlight on the one thing the wildly successful Switch is still struggling with, but maybe not for long. Dragon Quest 11, the new Mortal Kombat and others being ported defy what I thought was possible for the system. In my view, the possibility for a port seems exclusively reliant on a corporate body deeming it profitable.

Dates for Bayo 3 and the Granblue game, please!

Super Paper Mario over the original and Thousand Year Door? Cheeky.

That was an entertaining watch! Curious stuff. I love content like this.

It's interesting to see the title that marked the end for Paper Mario in the eyes of its earliest fans was (likely) initially planned as a different title. Should Nintendo decide to bring Paper Mario to the Switch, I hope it follows the incredible formula of the first two games.

It's about time SE pulled the curtain on this game! Visually, it certainly doesn't disappoint. Well done to them on that front, but I'm concerned: How likely is localization?

Call me crazy, but my confidence in SE's localization decisions isn't exactly abundant. I don't want to be negative, but I think the skepticism is warranted.

I'd love to be wrong. The Switch is my ideal place to play games.

Boy, I was unprepared for that dramatic narration.

Rightfully so! Smash Ultimate is a blast.

Would be nice to see MK8D updated.

New main if true.
