How are the PS4 + Xbox One selling compared to the PS3 + Xbox 360 at the same timeline?

Shaped like a friend

When I was a kid I was deathly afraid of certain things in video games- water levels with enemies that could eat you, enemies that would seem normal one second and then become ruthless monsters as soon as I pass by etc, but scariest of all were ReDeads from OoT

I had a friend over that knew how jumpy I was and he loved to prey on it. I was nearing the third sacred treasure when he told me about what would happen to castle town if I kept playing.

"TIAG, If you keep playing Ganon blows up castle town and it fills with zombies! Worst of all the zombies scream at you and if they catch you... they rip Links face off and blood shoots everywhere! Heck if you run out of health the game has a cutscene dedicated to killing Link!"

I didn't believe him at first but once I became Adult Link and stepped out of the temple of time I realized he was telling the truth. I took one step into castle town before retreating back to the temple and saving and quitting. It would literally be months later that I braved castle town and continued playing Ocarina of Time. I don't think I ever beat it at the time as he pulled similar tricks with the Shadow Temple but it's something that sticks with me to this day as way too spooky for me.

So far I've seen more games I would play near launch than the life time of the WiiU. I may trade mine up.

If they did that, I might actually even get the chance to play 3D Dot Game Heroes some day!! Instead of just looking at it and going "that looks neat."

The last Nintendo console I owned was N64 and I'm tired of serious grim dark garbage, so I'm very likely to buy the Switch to play some fun colorful video games.

I hope it's a new project, or a remake/port of a different FE instead.

Very little of any of Fates was all that good, and they'd have to put more effort into working on it than Nintendo is known to give to anything of that nature to make it a remotely compelling purchase.

Conquest is one of the best srpgs ever made gameplay-wise.

Story is garbage though.

The characters in conquest made up for the bad story, and also made dating more interesting with people like Walking Boobs Camilla.

I need more than just good gameplay to enjoy a Fire Emblem. Some characters I'd actually care about and a passable plot would be enough, but only Conquest comes close to that, and even then it barely passes the former and completely fucks up the latter.

It was a bad choice making so much of the recruitable cast just royals, retainers, and pointless kids.

I didn't play any fire emblem games outside of sacred stones. What about conquest makes it better than the other two in that trilogy/what is it about the other two that makes them bad?

I really don't understand why Advance Wars take so long to come out. They're pretty low-effort on the design & plot.

Conquest has harder difficulty and more interesting map gimmicks than Sacred Stones. Main driving plot beats have the potential to be interesting, but are massively dropped ball scenario's implemented stupidly.

Birthright is easier and more boring map wise than Sacred Stones. Main driving plot points are passable but pretty boring and generic. Very text book good beats bad stuff.

Revelations is harder than Birthright, easier than conquest, and is a few boring maps spread between GIMMICKS OUT THE ARSE, ALL DAY EVERYDAY. Plot is just straight up bad.

Can you tell me what about the plot is bad?

I've never heard people praise fire emblem plots before, and even sacred stones was more or less just "our friend is evil now, what a shame, let's go kill him before he ruins everything" so I can't imagine what the series is like when its plots are bad.

You forgot to mention Revelation's unit balance was so utterly hosed that at one point they dumped four new allies onto your lap who didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of surviving a single combat round with any of the enemies on that stage.

I like Advance Wars a lot more than Fire Emblem because there are too many numbers in Fire Emblem that I stop caring about anything

There's just enough numbers in Advance Wars to be interesting without so many that it becomes tedious

This thankfully was taken out for the western release (CEEEEENSORSHIIIIP shouts the weeabo). Although now you have a rather awkward scene where the person is on the lower screen looking at you and you look at him/her for a few seconds until you can cancel out of the screen.

The Advance Wars character should just be a dude driving a tank with another dude riding on the front of it shooting peeps, and their Final Smash is Andy's CO power.
