edit: How is Fast RMX on the Switch, incidentally? As good as Fast Racing NEO was?

Yup. It's good. It's the same game with some new tracks if you didn't realize though.

I considered buying it because there aren't many games but now I won't. Thanks for the warning re: it being bad.

Is Xenoblade Chronicles 2 going to be a continuation of the first one, or will it be it's own self-contained story so it won't matter if you haven't played the first one?

We don't know yet but you should play the first one anyway since it's good.

Well Xenoblade Chronicles X was not a continuation of the first one, and this one is titled 2 so it certainly seems to me like it's going to be a direct sequel.

But we don't have any hard info. Play Xenoblade Chronicles!

Maybe don't play XCX! I didn't like it!

Play SMT3 Nocturne, get the neutral ending and you'll get the gist of XC.

Where the gently caress is this week's eshop preview? There's much in the news about last week's stuff and nothing about the coming items.

Voez comes out in NA this week, a week later than other regions. If you like rhythm games it's worth a peek; the F2P version is available on smartphones.

Because I Am Setsuna is a bad game and it's worth making sure people are aware of that when discussing its porting to a new system.

To each their own. I really enjoyed it, but I also replay Chrono Trigger over and over again. The environments get very samesey and the game ends right as it gets going, but I enjoyed it for what it was. Don't think I would ever play through it again, but it was worth it to me.

I kinda want to try out I Am Setsuna but by the time I'm done with Zelda, the Switch will have other stuff I want to play. It doesn't look that interesting to me even as someone that loves the poo poo out of Chrono Trigger though.

Is it digital only?

I want to fill out some of the gaps in my Wii U library but feel like I should wait to see if most of the big games get ported to Switch. Pretty sure there has been no hard info on this yet but seems likely, no?

Smash Bros is pretty much a definite but I'll be surprised if stuff like Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2 gets ported over.

Nah, they'll probably hold off for a Switch iteration of Smash Bros rather than a port because getting the playerbase to migrate to a new version requires a crowbar and harsh threats to pry them off the old one.

W101 MAYBE, because you can draw with the stick, and Bayonetta should definitely be doable. Besides, it is actually getting Lego City: Undercover in a month. If you haven't played it, you should :colbert:.

I dunno. I can't see them undertaking the massive effort for another Smash so soon when so many missed out on 4 for Wii U and I doubt they'll wait so long into the Switch lifespan to have another.

Except it is also on 3DS, which has a far larger player base. If it was gonna happen, they'd have announced it alongside Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Yeah and it would be perfect if it combined everything from the Wii U and 3DS versions into one just like the Switch itself combines console and handheld. I'm sure we'll find out at E3.

That plus new characters and have preorders come with Melee Online edition. (That can be purchased separately.) New characters should include a Splatoon kid and a Wiimote.

Ehh, I think that comes back round to new Smash Bros rather than polishing the old. Let's be honest; the only real reason we're likely getting Mario Kart 8 on the thing is so it actually has something good with multiplayer modes for the launch stretch.

At most I would expect them bringing Ice Climbers back if we ever do get a Smash 4 port.

From everything I've seen regarding 1-2, it seems like WarioWare: Smooth Moves is better in almost every way. The only thing 1-2 Switch has that's special is a small handful of games that demonstrate HD rumble.

It was even the WarioWare team that made the game I think! But let's face it, Joe Schmo doesn't know wtf WarioWare is and he makes up a big chunk of 1-2-Switch's demographic. I don't know how 1-2-Switch sold, but it needed all the help it could get the moment they decided "yea, let's actually charge money for this."

It really should have been a pack-in game. I haven't picked it up, because seriously, Nintendo, pack-in for the game that shows off your console's nifty new feature!
