Nope, ESA isn't on Switch but I hope someday it shows up out of nowhere during an indie direct. I don't know if ESA 2 is still in the works, but maybe that will come to Switch if it happens.

To that end, I see Eastward is on sale (for like only 10 percent off but still) and I've been eyeing it, any thoughts on it? I love the Earthbound aesthetic, though i understand it plays nothing like it, but if it's a good game then I'm interested.



It’s not good. The graphics and the music are charming but everything else is tedious. The dialogue is interminable and the scenes are drawn out to the point of absurdity. What’s worse, you have to press the A button every two words to keep the dialogue going, so you find yourself button mashing for ten straight minutes just to get through a single scene. And the gameplay simply isn’t good enough to make up for it.

Oh hey what's this SMTV is on sale digitally? Well hey I'll just use the Amazon credit I got for Christmas to get eShop credit and download the thing!

And then tomorrow I'll click the "give me a loving refund" button.

Speaking as someone who has a high tolerance for anime bullshit, does anyone know anything about Demon Gaze? The description talks about the MC being able to control demons and the screenshots make it look like a turn based JRPG, so it sort of looks like SMT But Even More Anime. Which I'd kind of be into, as long as it's halfway decent.

It's very anime. Like super duper anime. It's a first person dungeon crawler like Labarynth of Refrain, or wizardry but between excursions the story goes to some weird slightly perverted places. The dungeons are just fine and I like the party construction better than Labarynth. It's fine. No way I'm paying 60 for it though.

It's not as perverted as dungeon travelers 2 if you've played that on a Sony sysyem.

Yeah I wasn't going to pay 60 either, like I said before I still have the rest of SMTV and all of Nocturne to get through before I think about buying another game, I just wanted to know if it was alright/good or complete garbage. Since it's alright, I'll add it to my wishlist and maybe pick it up if it goes on sale in a year or two.

Eh, I can deal with that, I assume that's basically armor, and it's not like I care too much about armor descriptions even in non-horny JRPGs. Just "how good are the numbers?"

I wanted to like eastward real bad but yeah tedious covers it. It’s just such a chore to play. I think the in game rpg might be more compelling than the actual game itself.

I thought I was crazy, I could have sworn I played Environmental Station Alpha on switch but I looked through my game list and I was confusing it with Xeodrifter. I had played ESA on my PC. Xeodrifter was alright, I would recommend it if it's cheap.

Obviously do what is right for you, but I’d caution you and say it is not worth it at really any price. There’s so many good games to play.

It’s sad that the Star Fox Muscle of game developers has atrophied so severely, leaving neither indie nor major creators capable of making a good game in the genre. Fits with the larger decline of arcade games, but still sad.

awesome game, truly. only referred to walkthroughs twice, once for the power bomb tube and then to get out of Maridia because I didn't want to flail around to find the proper exit. so glad I followed through on this one. years ago I made a few failed attempts on ZSNES but it was so much better on a proper console.

Next up: finish the last 2 dungeons in the Link's Awakening remake. I've been saving those for a quiet weekend

Great game but I’d personally get it on PC for mouse aim unless you’re pretty good with a pad. Also there’s a cheat code to unlock the fps past 30 fps. I believe a Digital Foundry video goes into that topic.
