Any reason to think that a release date for DQ XI or DQ Builders 2 won't happen at TGS this month?

They're saying it's some kind of portable device that plugs into your TV? Sounds dumb

I just saw the thread title and want to say that with the battery life the switch is actually more of a Large Adult Gamegear.

Thank you for your time.

Remember before the Switch was properly announced and some people proposed that there would be a wireless peripheral, a little cube, that you could set next to the Switch to improve performance? I remember that.

I expect we will get the DQXI release date, I don’t know if Builders is big enough to care about for a direct.

It's amazing how straight forward and simple the Switch ended up being. The first thirty seconds of that reveal video did more to sell the Switch to the public than the entirety of Wii U's marketing lifespan.

You could already play it one-handed on the SNES by using the L button as the A button.

Maybe that's what I was thinking of. I sure could stand being able to do that with Octopath Traveler

Ah, a cube that enhanced gaming. Some sort of... GameCube!

I never heard that particular theory but it's so dumb that it had to be a joke someone made, not a real theory.

Every time Nintendo puts out a patent people think it's something they are going to show any day now.
I remember the patents for "wireless controllers using IR to detect button presses" back in 2016, which people appreciated was a new low battery controller for the NX.

Well they were half right; pretty sure that turned out to be labo

Bloons TD is great. One of the many reasons it is great is that each level it is the perfect amount of time for one poop. There are other reasons too. It's a detailed game, not a mobile port, with lots of variety, and a long playthrough time. But the timing of each level is just perfect.

I had to explain it even to my gamer inclined friends. The messaging with that system was poo poo and the main reason it failed I think was the name alone.

I just found my Wii U in storage and I’m excited to play it again after a year and a half even though I rebought just about every worthwhile game for it again on Switch.:v:

I do wish they did something with the scrollable bumpers patent. I thought they sounded cool.

I had to do some research when I first heard about it. I assumed it was like an add on peripheral kind of like the Kinect when it was first described to me.
