I'm as nostalgic for Deadly Premonition as the next guy but thirty bucks seems ... pretty steep.

Which is kinda silly to complain about at this point, I guess.

I’ll wait for it to go on sale. I have way too many loving games to play now anyways. I’m sure it’ll go on sale before 2.

Well poo poo, that was one of the best Directs, wasn't it?



Pretty awesome. Even Sans Undertale made it in.

Xenoblade 1 is one of my favorite JRPGs. I 100%ed it earlier this year and my god, next year I'm gonna do it again. I love Xenoblade 1 so much...

The direct was fantastic. Deadly Premonition 1 + 2 was enough to make it rad. I hope swery watched and enjoyed Twin Peaks The Return and that DP2 will take its influences from that. shovel painting mini games.

Excited to play snes games on my flight this weekend. Just my opinion but the nes games just seemed like a novelty for me since it was before my time.

super metroid and lttp whip rear end. Terry in smash rules. Switch is a good console.

No gacha system, but it still has a crazy number of systems that aren't all completely fleshed out (the big gimmick being every character having a unique gimmick if you're controlling them.) It's a bit less obnoxious with the anime (but that's still definitely present) and the Nopons are a much smaller part of it. Thankfully the Nopon party member is a much better character than Tora. He's grating but without most of the creepiness.

The big downside to Xenoblade 1 is that it's a completionists nightmare with literally hundreds of MMO fetch quests.

Also the music is insanely good, especially with the subtle differences between day/night

I had to google Deadly Premonition 2 when it came up on the direct because I was sure it had to be an old sequel that I didn't hear about or never got localized or something. I can't believe Deadly Premonition 2 is getting made in 2019. Switch can conjure sequels to old and aggressively idiosyncratic cult games, I am beginning to fear its power

Closer to the latter, seems like if you spend $40 it gives you 5k gems immediately and makes it so you can get 2k every 12 hours after that indefinitely if I understand correctly.

Two years ago when Nintendo did their survey about old games we wanted to play again, I explicitly told them I wanted Pilotwings. Tomorrow's finally the day! That lineup is dope.

Port Star Wars Republic Commando next.

This Direct was pretty much one awesome thing after another. I mean, I personally don't give a poo poo about Terry whatever being in Smash but a lot of people do and that's awesome. I don't think there was a single thing that didn't hit someone's :tviv: button

Now I just need Xenoblade Chronicles X on Switch and I'll be the happiest of happy. I absolutely loved all the intense weirdness.

Still, I'm incredibly stoked for XC1 remaster. I was itching to play it recently, but decided against digging out the Wii.

Terry Bogard is all I wanted in Smash. They can close up shop now. He picked that invitation up and I saluted the screen like it was The Boss' funeral.

Kyle Katarn and Francis York Morgan are on my switch too and that makes me just as happy.

How does the first Xenoblade game compare to 2? I tried to stick with 2 for a while, but just couldn't deal with the gacha system for blades, the crazy number of different systems in the game overall, and the occasional overly anime-ness of it (particularly with the Nopons).

The first is so much better it's insane. It still has some of the flaws of the sequel (weird pacing, fetch quests) but WAY less so in all respects. The areas are great, music is great, characters are great, it's awesome.

The plot gets wildly anime, but moreso in the "batshit plot twists and monologues about what it means to be a God" direction and less in the "shoving giant boobs in as many shots as possible and nopons babbling like morons in ever cutscene" direction.

If it's in line with the 3DS game it's fine, I think I put $7 total into it to see all the content which is also how much the rest of the small standalone Kirby spinoffs cost. I liked it.

the switch is a turducken and nintendo is determined to shove the entirety of the wii/wiiu greatest hits onto it alongside every indie imaginable, every port, and also letting suda51 and platinum run apeshit on it. it's insane how this came after the wiiu.

It’s nice to see Nintendo really nailing it and listening to what people want. The Wii U was not the worst thing they ever made, but it was still a bad console that didn’t even survive this current console gen. But now we have the vastly superior Switch, and a library games that people actually want to play.

I never played any of the Xenoblade games, but with an HD port to Switch I now really want to check out the game that stars the anime British man from Smash who I only ever have wearing a swimsuit.

Too bad trying figure out all this Xeno poo poo is going to melt my brain. The first Xenoblade game is Xenoblade Chronicles, the second game is Xenoblade Chronicles X, and the third game is Xenoblade Chronicles 2? :psyduck:
