100% yes, easy to see it's already one of the best games on Switch, needless to say I'm very excited

Yeah, honestly I've been watching the page for it to come back in stock.

It actually looks like a good port -- by M2 of the Sega 3D Classics fame. It's got a soundtrack select menu, 4:3 with border art or stretched aspect ratio, local multiplayer, quick save and load, and three color modes for FF Legend (B&W, Game Boy Color, and washed out Game Boy green).

E: Here's a page with a bunch of screens.
http://www.4gamer.net/games/374/G037496/20170526062/

If it sells as well as it looks like it's going to, maybe they'll localize it.

This needs to come out in the US.

Though I am disheartened to see they did not use the assets from the higher-res iOS port with the nicer water effects.

Still doesn't beat "Bravely Default". Does that name even mean anything in the context of the games?

From what I heard "Brave" and "Default" are both menu actions your characters can perform that are critical to the game's combat. So the title comes from them. I haven't actually played them so I might be wrong though.

This is true, and "default" sacrifices your attack (while admittedly raising your def that round) for the benefit of doing multiple attacks on a future round.
"Brave" lets you do more attacks than you have, meaning you'll be standing around doing nothing on later rounds till you catch up.

It can be brave to default because you give the enemy free attacks for a round (or three) but the name as a phrase doesn't mean a lot.

As mentioned, the subtitle does though, in a pretty amazing way.


It's a good game.

I probably won't be getting the Sonic game but I sure hope the entire thing isn't capped at like 20 FPS like that video insinuates. Normally I'm not a stickler for frame rate, but in a Sonic game 60 FPS seems pretty important.

Honestly the multiplayer has not aged well. It's still fun, don't get me wrong, but once you're deep into the game it gets old having to essentially pause the game every five seconds for a player to cast a spell or use an item.

I'd love for an updated version where you can have each player on their own switch, and the menu ring doesn't pause the game for everyone, but that's probably way too much for an old game.

It's baffling that they went to the effort of making a full-fledged 3D remake for Vita and iOS/Android that's still faithful to the game yet still decided to go with the original Game Boy version instead.

It's definitely just that video. There's plenty of footage of the game in 60 and it looks smoother than even the originals.

You can cast a hell of a lot faster than that. The only time you need spells is rapid casting on bosses. Get good if you don't use weapons 95% of the time.
