Milk's on them.


So

- Deadly Premonition 2
- BK out today
- More Smash DLC coming
- Sans gunner suit

That’s pretty much all that made me go “woah”. (Mostly the last one.) Not as :tviv: as the BK reveal Direct, but it was nice.

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:

You forgot Xenogears and the three Xenosaga games.

They all pretty much stand on their own. Except the Xenosaga games which are all direct sequels.

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.

Can't believe the Switch is the Smash Bros Ultimate of Nintendo consoles.

Today even took us one step closer to Xenoblade Chronicles X Remaster although a sequel is okay also.

The first Xeno game is Xenogears on PS1, then its the Xenosaga games on PS2.

Xenoblade X is an offshoot. It's not related to the 1st or 2nd game.

What's even left to port from the festering corpse of the WiiU at this point? Mario 3D World, Xenoblade X, Paper Mario Color Splash, Wonderful 101, and Pikmin 3. Anything else?

Zelda HD games and Affordable Space Adventures.

... maybe Kirby and the Rainbow Curse.

So is the free-to-start Kirby game free to play crap or one of those free games with limited microtransactions?

I just played it for a couple of hours and never got gated. I'm sure it kicks in at some point, but it's not egregious from the get-go.

Gameplay is pretty fun. Make sure you actually look in the menus to see your moves. The game tells you basically nothing.

I just really can't believe they loving remade Xenoblade when at one point I was frantically importing that loving game. And also TOKYO MIRAGE SESSIONS like seriously. We haven't even gotten release dates for Bayo3, Metroid, or NMH3 and I bet there's even MORE poo poo coming. things like W101 are pretty much more of a "when" than "if."

I've been playing all night and still haven't run into any gates. I think paying increases the amount of gems you get every 24 hours from the tree but it goes from 90/24 hrs for like $34 or 2000/24 hrs for $40. :psyduck:

Yeah it's the benevolent kind of free to play where you can pay to effectively just have it be a normal game and not a slot machine.

As someone who really wanted to like the last Deamon X Machina demo more , I picked up the new demo and it does feel like they managed to improve the performance to the point where I am back on board.

Seriously, it isn’t just me and they actually got it working better, right?

No bayonetta 3 info, can’t complain because Astral Chain is one of the greats and came out a week ago. At least I’m not one of the folks waiting for Metroid or Pikmin. That’s a cruel existence.

Xenogears, Xenosaga, and Xenoblade are all separate games that sort of share themes and concepts because Tetsuya Takahashi's been trying to tell the same meta-story since 1998.

Xenogears is supposed to be part five of a six part series but half the staff got hoovered up to develop Final Fantasy VIII so Xenogears is missing, like, the second half of the game.

Xenosaga was supposed to retell the story from the start, but that series was a mess (hour long cutscene with save points?) and only three episodes were made.

Then Xenoblade Chronicles came out and while you can definitely shove a prequel game or two in there it's a whole-rear end game with a beginning, middle and end. If I'm reading between the lines correctly, this is because Nintendo kept bapping Takahashi with a newspaper whenever he stopped working on gameplay to write more cutscenes.

I don't know about Xenoblade Chronicles X except that's its unrelated, and Chronicles 2 is a parallel universe to Chronicles 1.
