I'm excited for this Direct, but I'm also a huge Smash fan. My excitement doesn't excuse Nintendo's poor decision to run another Direct exclusively focused on Smash, though.
The game's menu still glitches on start, and the DLC has audio issues. Sound effects aren't playing. Beneath this game's poor execution is a good game, though you may want to wait until they polish it up.
I'm a huge Capcom fan and would like to see them support the platform more. Disney Afternoon Collection has no reason to not be on Switch, for example. I'd also like to see some effort made in porting games like SF V and MH World. If Capcom was willing to put SF IV on the 3DS, why can't they show the same support for the Switch?
Looks like the datamine I posted in the XB2 thread was accurate. Her design isn't my favorite, but a fire healer is interesting enough. I remember being impressed with her passives, too.
Better late than never! I'm happy I held off on the PC version. My first and only experience will be on the Switch! September can't come soon enough.
By the way, maybe consider covering Xenoverse 2's DLC, too. It's also a Switch game and deserves attention. Surely there's enough writing power at NL as Fortnite's every breath is covered vociferously.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't share the grievances mentioned here. Regardless, I still bought the cart. This'll be my first run with X8. Although X7 was hilariously bad, I can't wait to revisit it. I'll be playing when my shipment arrives tomorrow!
@Cobalt Chiming in! In case you haven't noticed, your comments/posts here aren't exactly met with positive reception. You've been here one month and are already an established Nintendo-basher . . . on a Nintendo fan site. Maybe put that in perspective before you intimate generalities about others.
Remember: You're free to your own opinions, but you aren't free from consequences. If you have a problem with that—regardless of age—you're a baby.
Further, I have something to say about your comments. Almost everything you said here is bullpoop. /ToS
PR jargon at its finest. If Nintendo is truly committed to instilling consumer confidence, maybe they should hold a Direct finally detailing their first paid online service launching in a couple months. Splice in some game coverage, and their lackluster E3 showing is immediately mitigated for most people.
@fiben1002 Whatever he is, it's a little silly to assume he'd come cheap, no? My point there was about this project's seemingly high budget. That took me by surprise. At the very least, this presents a potential for it to be something decent.
@UmbreonsPapa Seconded. Was actually talking about that with someone earlier today.
What kind of budget is this movie working with? I didn't expect A-listers getting signed on. I was sure this movie was going to be hot garbage, but perhaps I was wrong to judge it so prematurely.
Rating the Crash Trilogy a C-rank collection is indicative of the obscene fanboyism Nintendo fans are prone to exhibit. What's worse is the resounding applause following the article that pervades the discourse in more or less words: "ok there gud but not mario tho NT GG."
It's hard for me to differentiate between how much of the Waluigi crowd is genuine and how many are simply doing it for the memes. Maybe the recent fiasco of threats and ****posts made me skeptical.
Waluigi's a fine character, but there are so many more deserving ones. Personally, I'd take Bomberman or Knuckles over Waluigi any day of the week.
Loving how much support this game gets. I'm probably one of the few people on the planet who enjoy Bomberman R, though. I will agree its price is completely unmerited and likely turns off potential buyers. The game is fun, but no one plays it. One look at online play will tell you that much.
Can't say I'm confident we'll see this on the Switch. I'm expecting a cop out. At least there's the PC version.
I'm under the impression Square Enix thinks the West hates Dragon Quest games. That's what their refusal to localize both Heroes and the 3DS game tells me, anyway.
This is a very "Nintendo" thing for them to do. Maybe Nintendo will have figured out how to implement full online functionality by 2021 when Ultra Mario Party releases.
The mobile app, Fallout Shelter, is placed higher than the Xenoblade 2 expansion, Dragon Ball Fighterz, and Daemon X Machina . . . on a list ranking the best Nintendo Switch games from E3.
This is a huge and questionable omission. Smash, Fire Emblem, and that mech game have me going crazy, though the presentation as a whole was a little lackluster.
Star Fox's cameo here will likely wind up being better than the entirety of the train wreck that was Star Fox Zero. Many draw that same comparison using the Arwing sequence from Bayonetta 2.
I really hope there's at least some truth to the Star Fox rumors. Star Fox needs a new game that'll completely wipe away the colossal disappointment Star Fox Zero left. The franchise deserves so much better.
@BensonUii Nobody likes a sycophant, dude. The only games (and you sully the word) Bethesda announced for Switch are mobile ports. While there was a hint of sarcasm to my comment, the Switch might as well be a phone if it's essentially receiving mobile apps and nothing else.
@Highlar I just finished watching their event. It was hilarious! I do hope they change their mind about not bringing Metal Wolf Chaos to the Switch. That was a huge surprise, anyway! If nothing else, I'm getting the PC version.

I'm very excited for this. Can't wait for Fighterz to drop on Switch!

I've been wanting to give Cyber Sleuth a try for years now. I hope this is a step toward that.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend?
Ys VIII and Octopath Traveler, though I'm sure it'll mostly be the latter. I haven't been able to put it down since it arrived in the mail.

Re: Switch Isn't The Right Platform For Yakuza, Says Series Producer
What nonsense. Using a failed console's sales as a metric to gauge interest is flawed, to say the least.

Gotta collect 'em all! Managed to preorder Ridley and Inkling earlier today!
Re: Ubisoft Says Reggie Fils-Aimé Is To Thank For Star Fox's Inclusion In Starlink: Battle For Atlas

O benevolent Sega gods of a time long forgotten,
Take pity on your humble servants, and deem us funky. Let us be graced with a physical version, if it is thine will.

Re: Valkyria Chronicles 4 Secures September Switch Release Date And Various Launch Editions
No word on the remastered original then, huh? According to Siliconera, Famitsu confirmed the remaster is launching alongside 4 in Japan. I wonder if it's getting localized.
Re: Dragon Ball FighterZ Switch Arrives In Japan On 27th September With Some New Additions
@retro_player_22 Ahh, Hyper Dimension! That game brings back some good memories. Probably the best of the Super Famicom bunch.
Re: Dragon Ball FighterZ Switch Arrives In Japan On 27th September With Some New Additions
Most of those DBZ Super Famicom games were terrible, but Super Butouden should be a fun throwback if it makes it overseas.
Re: Video: Sit Back And Enjoy The Complete History Of F-Zero
F-Zero GX is still the greatest racing game I've played. It's a shame Nintendo won't support the series.

This opinion is objectively wrong.
Re: Video: Here's 15 Minutes Of Star Fox In Starlink: Battle For Atlas
This being the only Star Fox reveal is pretty disappointing.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Metroid Prime 4 Will Skip E3 2018
This is a huge and questionable omission. Smash, Fire Emblem, and that mech game have me going crazy, though the presentation as a whole was a little lackluster.

Never heard of these. I'm guessing they're hitting the eShop. I hope they get a physical release.
Re: Bethesda's Fallout Shelter Arrives On The Nintendo Switch Today
@BensonUii I was just expressing disappointment. Let's cross our fingers Bethesda actually has something substantial in store for the Switch, anyway.
