I'm sure it will be, in MHW-G. Sure they could release G rank as a DLC expansion, but that's now how any past Mon Hun has worked. They are going to release a new game with a bunch of older title content added and G rank, you are going to pay a full $60 again. I'd love for it to be a $20-30 expansion though.

They already announced a G-Rank expansion for World. I forget if they mentioned a price but they definitely called it an expansion, so I would expect the $20-30 price range for it. No mention of Prowler mode.

What's everyone's favourite demo? I only have one full game (Katamari), so with that, the NSO NES games, and Fortnite (and Warframe sometime), I'm looking for stuff I can play for free or at least try out. Bonus points if it's kid friendly.

My son loves that colouring book game, even if we only have the first two pages, as well as Captain Toad.

Slime-san and Aegis Defenders have demos and are fun little indie games. Puyo Puyo Tetris has a demo with unlimited plays but limited modes and difficulty so you could theoretically play it forever. I played it for a week before I actually bought the game while waiting to get paid

I feel kinda sorry for that thing. One of my N64 controllers' stick will only register 'up' sporadically and the other one still works, but both were really floppy :saddowns:

I still blame Mario Party though, my sis and I both had blisters from those drat minigames

I am partial to the Octopath Traveler Prologue 3-hour demo, if you are at all interested in JRPGs. As a bonus, any progress you make carries over to the full game.

Yoku’s Island is a fun and kid-friendly demo.

Anyone try GRIS on Switch? I'm going on a trip i two months and if it's an ok version I'll double dip since I own it on PC and loving adore it. Easily my favourite game of the year from an audiovisual standpoint. As a puzzle platformer it does some clever stuff, but it's merely ok. But drat if the presentation and story didn't tear me up.

I played through it about 80% on handheld mode. Presentation is still great but I can’t deny it looks much better on a big screen.

So I've weirdly enough never played a Katamari game, and I tried the Katamari demo and it controlls like rear end... Like I just got stuck between 2 objects and couldn't back out for like a good minute. Is that, the intentional part of the game ala octodad? Otherwise it was fun but not sure if it's a fighting-controls-game or it just does a poor job explaining them and they're actually fine once you get used to it?

It’s a tank control game. Each stick does different things and so control involves moving them independently to manoeuvre both your tiny prince and his giant ball. It’s kind of like Octodad, yeah. The Katamari can be unwieldy and you need to get good at judging what you can pick up and sometimes you lose control down a hill so a lot of the game is managing your momentum and your lopsided rolling ball of glue.

Why the gently caress does Lets Go Pikachu not seem to have any autosaving at all?

Game locked up and I had to close out of it. I admit it's my fault that I haven't saved recently, but I had just cleared the Team Rocket hideout and the last save was before I fought Lt. Surge.

What the gently caress!? Not a single autosave between several hours of gameplay on a singleplayer game?

Because people save scum for shinies/legendaries in Pokémon. An option for auto saving would be nice though.

Yeah you dont use auto saves outside of gently caress ups, you definitely wouldn’t use them for save scumming. That’s literally what normal saves are for

I wouldn't say each stick does different things... The controls are more like certain bumper cars, like the rounded kinds with two sticks for controlling. Imagine each stick on the controller is one of your arms pushing that side of the Katamari. Pulling the stick back/down means you'd be grabbing the Katamari and pulling it towards yourself.

I'd honestly expect $40 - the Ultimate/G versions of the games have always had entire new armor sets for every monster and several new monsters, they're honestly pretty beefy updates.

Yeah, for whatever reason the SaGa games actually got good remakes from Square-Enix as opposed to those nightmare iOS versions or those tacky Mana remakes. They recently showed off the remake of 3 and it looks great.

It probably helps that the people who made the old SaGa games still work at Square and are doing these remakes rather than being farmed out to some remaster company.

Has any mainline Pokemon game ever had autosaving? I always save after pretty much every town, gym, building/cave, etc. precisely because that's the way it's worked in Pokemon forever.

I looked at the one on the eshop (2?) and I just can't get over the new art

the tilesets, effects and menus look so soulless like something straight out of rpgmaker compared to the beautiful pixel art of the originals. At least they didn't butcher the characters like in those FF remakes though :confuoot:

It's like they never played Breath of the Wild or Mario Odyssey, both do autosaves and hard saves, and both are for this very console!

I'm guessing because it's never been in any pokemon game, they just didn't think to include autosave. There is no trade-off the devs overlooked it and it should probably be in a game, especially one with a primary audience of kids, which is the exact group this side game is primarily targeting.

A FUCKIN CANARY!!

1 autosave slot and 2-3 manual save slots, but if you ever load from a manual save your character permanently has a dunce cap that's visible to other players online.
