Could you please explain how Galaxy isn't a proper 3D mario game?

there was that image nintendo posted. its on a different line.

basically 64, sunshine and odyssey are the same freeroaming series with just mario, whereas galaxy is SMB5 because it has luigi and isn't sandbox freeroaming.

smb - smb2/lostlevels - smb3 - smb4world - smb5galaxy - smb6...universe?
------------------------------------------- world2 ------- galaxy2

new smb is a different series as is 3d world/land

LEMME SHOW YOU SOMETHING!!!
Is anyone else interested in getting Skyrim on the Switch? I'm not buying it on release, but it is going to the top of my Amazon wish list in case someone wants to get it for me for Xmas or something. Otherwise I may pick it up when it drops to $29.99.

I still play the original on PC w/mods (much prettier than the "Special Edition") from time to time, but playing on the go is intriguing and using the motion controls + HD rumble for lock picking will be cool for 5 minutes before I just use the buttons as usual. Supposedly it is a consistent 30fps, so that and the portability will make up for lower visuals.


I still haven't played through XCX and only got about 5 or 10 hours into the first XC (wasn't a huge fan of the combat system and it felt cramped on the 3DS but starting it on the Wii did feel better, though I hate the Wiimote+nunchuck). So will be holding off on XC2 for a bit.

They've listed a switch port of Xenoverse 2 and a Tales game for Switch as upcoming in their financial reports before, so those are probably two of the three titles. If they thought the Switch was gonna suck, the Tales game is probably a port. Berseria probably.

They actually say 'Switch Exclusive,' but knowing Bamco they probably count enhanced ports as exclusive.

Dragonball Xenoverse 2 for Nintendo Switch (September 22, 2017)

I think anyone who was "omg anime" didn't have their minds changed, there are still people on the fence who felt burned by XCX.

I do think it looks closer to the original than (what I played of) X.

FireMrshlBill posted:

I kinda have too much other stuff to play. I still have barely touched FE Warriors, and XC2 is out a few weeks after Skyrim. I might get it eventually, I only ever played a few hours of it on Steam a few years ago. I might be more inclined to play a console version of it.

Feels weird to see things like Nintendo hawking DLC and offering post-release costume tie-ins to other games in poo poo like Zelda.

But at the same time, I kind of like it when they do it. I'll probably buy that stupid Xenoblade season pass AND the Fire Emblem Warriors season pass and ALL the DLC I'll just buy it all goddamn you Nintendo you own me

There have been some small sales, 10-15% generally as I recall. There's a guy here who posts weekly-ish about what's on sale in the eShop but I forget who.

If you're asking about first party stuff going on sale I don't think there's been any yet.

Sales so far have mostly sucked, and no 1st party games have really been on sale. Some indie/3rd party games have, but mostly just 10-20% off. There have been a couple of good sales on some games though (like 50% off Snake Pass and Phantom Trigger).

was on the fence about a lot of XB2 stuff but the direct looked so loving crazy and expansive I'm on board now. it reminds me of disgaea's disgusting amounts of options and things to do but with xenoblade gameplay instead which is less a slog for me. also I will never not ride the tiger character

Not really.
I still don't know how the battle system is supposed to work, though it does seem to be closer to XC's than XCX.
It also appears as though there's no equipment for the characters; at least not anything that changes their appearance.

It has made up my mind, though. I'm sitting out until release and see how the market reacts.

There's the weapons. Blades I guess.

I'd be really surprised if there were no costumes at all, that'd be such a missed opportunity.

If you've played XC I'm not really sure how you're confused about the combat. It's pretty much the same deal except instead of having 8 skills and a super per character, you've now got 3 skills and a super per Blade, and each character can have 3-4 blades equipped at once. You customize your equipped blades like Pokemon or Personas or anything like that. And they expanded the combo systems a bit obviously, which is explained in painful detail in the direct. What part don't are you not understanding about it?

There isn't customizable armor unfortunately. Outfits are a possibility (maybe DLC) but I don't think anyone knows if the cutscenes are real time or not.

There are at least 5 playable main characters though so most likely you will be able to swap Rex out after a little ways into the game.

The videos definitely don't look promising. I'm a little surprised at how mediocre it is, I thought maybe they'd try a little harder since Mania was so well received.

edit: I guess they're content just having the hardcore Sonic fanbase and not expanding beyond that. :shrug:
