Will it stop you from winning the game? No not really, but it will stop you from playing how it was supposed to be played

There was a Mario game in the Direct though, and it was even the second game in its series.

I don't think Ubisoft is making a Metroid crossover involving Rabbids, though.

Not the worst direct but why am I more excited about old GBA roms and PS2/PS3 isos than new games? Wait no actually that dragon quest treasures game looks sick.. I was expecting much more humble visuals but it looks kind of like an immersive movement-based monsters game, gently caress yeah

Yeah, another poster was right when they mentioned that the map design has not aged well at all. And as much as I love the games, the story structure has always felt like endless annoying tedious fetch quests

Remember having to track down evil internet ice across all the maps in Battle Network 2 or having to put out the entire internet which caught on fire in Battle Network 3?

Then there's the fact that battle network 4 and 5 could be considered thoroughly bad games by a lot of people, including me.

But the combat system and the card collecting and the fighting bosses is so so good that I'm willing to put up with all that crap, except for four and five. I don't think I ever need to play those two ever again. Six brought it home though, it owns

The map and quest design hasn’t aged badly, I think it was just always bad. It’s not like we didn’t know at the time.

I hope the port winds up being good overall.

Yeah that's fair, many games have had good maps and quests for a really long time long before battle network

Either way, I'm hyped to see all of mega Man basically ported on switch and I will rebuy all the mega Man games over and over and over again, just need legends now I think

If I hadn't already played Persona 5 twice with 100% confidants both times (once vanilla, once Royal) I'd probably be really stoked to have a portable version. As it is I can't see myself playing again for a long, long time.

I'll probably grab 3 and 4, though.

This will be my first time playing Royal, I beat OG P5 on the PS3, (and oh my god the final cutscene literally stuttered. As in, I could SEE the FPS going down to like 3.) I'm looking forward to playing it on a console that won't try to kill itself to run it.

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
So for anyone that's played the original and has either played the demo or watched gameplay, are there any major differences between the Live A Live remake and the original? I kinda want to skip the demo since I'm gonna buy it regardless and am already familiar with the original, but I'm also curious how much they've dejankified the original since it was pretty drat janky.

Look it's either:
A trilogy collection (posted on multiple storefronts)
Impossible to port (a former dev)
Finished but being held in case of emergency (current(?) rumor)

Just because they keep moving those goalposts doesn't mean it's not going to happen. Just like the switch pro it probably got delayed after COVID messed up all supply chains lol

(Unless they're optimized for Switch, which, hopefully they will be)

Edit: Speaking of which, I've been pleasantly surprised at how much better AI: Nirvana Initiative runs when compared to AI: Somnium. Clearly they realized what didn't work in the original and fixed up or trimmed whatever was causing those huge load times on the pop-ups during conversations.

The only ones doing this are those listening to every YouTuber and Twitter rumor. Like the original rumor for the SWOLD was about multiple skus over time, but then all the other rumor mongers have to add on like conspiracy theorist. We do this every time and once the thing comes out everybody shrugs and moves on, so just don't worry about it and if it happens it happens.

$20 for mobile Portal 2 is actually a fair price for the GOAT.

I've heard Live A Live is a really good game so it's nice that it is out.

The persona stuff is cool, too.

Oh wait, none of that stuff is actually new. Switch does what Switch does.

E: also, Monkey Island looks awful. They could have used the original VGA graphics and it would have looked better. Or was it CGA? EGA? Whatever.
