I was looking for something to hold me over until Bayonetta next week so I downloaded the Disgaea 5 demo.

Within 5 minutes I was totally embarrassed to have it on my Switch.

I’ll keep playing though, maybe it’s ok once it gets going.

I loved Disgaea and I'm looking forward to replaying 5 portably on Switch, but I've also been with the series since the start I've kinda conditioned myself to tolerate its insane self-aware anime bullshit because I know there's a really fun game underneath. Disgaea as a series collapsed in on itself somewhere along the way like an overly ironic black hole, and now exists simultaneously as a parody of all things anime, and earnestly as all things anime.

Why did they keep giving MH games weird different titles in not-Japan anyway? And why did they suddenly stop with World?

All classes now have rad passive abilities, and you can learn more as the class levels up. D5 also has a ton of ways to upgrade and/or level your characters compared to previous games, like sending them out on dispatch missions, or doing quests to earn active and passive skill scrolls you can apply to anybody. A new way to capture enemies, and then drain them of power to give your characters permanent stat upgrades.

The Cheat Shop also makes a triumphant return, which among other things lets you swap your gains for various thing. Get 15% less weapon mastery and 12% less cash to earn 27% more experience! Get 100% less skill XP for double Mana!

The letter G in regards to Monster Hunter has no meaning to general Western consumers, and Portable games are just portable versions of things we already have, right?

They called the first Monster Hunter Monster Hunter. They called the first portable Monster Hunter Monster Hunter Freedom. They called the second portable Monster Hunter with more content oriented around multiplayer Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.

It's all completely reasonable every step of the way.

Any thoughts on “Mercenaries Saga Chronicles”. Is it a good replacement for FFT types games or is it garbage?

I bought it as it sounds like they should be decent but not FFT/TO quality, which is to be expected.

Xenoblade 2's getting a update next week with some very welcome changes.

For the second playthrough (Advanced New Game Mode), enemy Blades like Akhos, Patroka, and Mikhail can be obtained, as well as lower-ranked ones.
These can come from Common Core Crystals or events. In the former case, they can be totally out of whack with the story, but the developers don't care.

I was really hoping you'd just have their cores in your inventory when starting the game, like Shulk and the Monado in the first game. :(

The Gacha system is terrible. I get that those systems are popular in Japan but if they added a toggle option and just let you spend cores to buy the rare blades (you could still roll for commons and hope the RNG gives you some orb master murdergod). Make KOSMOS cost 2-3 legendary or half a dozen rare cores or whatever if need be.

They haven't said anything about it, but since they know 7-9 million people own it and enjoy it, I have to assume they'd know not doing any post launch DLC would be leaving money on the table.

They also are releasing The Longest Five Minutes and Penny Punching Princess, which haven't been announced for the Switch in Japan.

It's super annoying because I'm 90% sure they aren't including Japanese text.

This is a cool idea and I like it and I can see it being useful for people that don't have very large physical collections but I also can imagine a scenario where someone steals your keyring and BAM, there goes BotW, Mario Odyssey, and Splatoon and you are SoL.
