The story gets amazing, too! It’s one of my favorite games on the system and the best on in its own series. Although, I’d also recommend Bravely Second and Bravely Default 2. Second is a story sequel, BD2 is stand-alone.

I fully agree with you there. The switch has time and time again proven to be more than capable. Monster Hunter Rise, Xenoblade 1-3 and Shin Megami Tensei V - just to name a few - pretty much have me satisfied. Sure, there are better looking games out there, but I don’t care beyond what these games already deliver.

I have lived through amazing graphical breakthroughs in video games, but at least for me, they stopped happening at least 10 years ago. Like, they are there for sure if I were to compare screenshots. But, once I’m emerged in the actual game play, they are lost on me.

I’m currently playing that game! Just started world 5 and with only a few exceptions, I’m running Rabbid Peach, Rabbid Rosalina und Rabbid Mario. Sometimes a map calls for Luigi, but that’s it. Same as your team?

To be honest, the controller is the least of my concerns. About one month into owning a switch I just got a 3rd party adapter for my DualShock and never looked back, the darn thing even supports motion control (only ever noticed this in Mario Odyssey). I’ll be doing the same for a new switch, regardless of what they do with their own controller.

I’m not surprised. I’ve watched a few reviews of this thing and still cannot think of any real use case.

“You believe IQ tests are an accurate measure […]”

That’s just so on brand for everything else in there, including the almost desperate pleas at the end as if giving instructions to an actual thinking system.

It’s so strange how they didn’t care with this one. New Leaf shipped with way more content than NH ever got and even received a massive update 4 years later. Meanwhile, NH doesn’t even have a second upgrade for Nook’s Cranny.

First party? Xenoblade. All of them.

In general? Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology, SMT V, both SMT Devil Survivor games, Magical Starsign, FF Tactics Advance and oddly enough Custom Robo Arena and Chibi Robo.

I don’t care much for icons, I’ve been rocking a default one for 5 years or so. I understand why they use the current system, but every system beyond “get the game; get all icons” isn’t worth it.

I’d love to take Haskell, but there’s neither enough support nor enough jobs. Same with most functional languages really. But nothing else compares.

Of couse they do. For how forgettable the Mario movie was, it basically printed money. If they want to get me hyped they could announce something in the spirit of Twilight Princess instead of a throw-away comedy. But this would make less money and therefore wont be made.

I felt the same at the very begining, however I missed like the first NPC and explored the whole sky island without unlocking shrines. Afterwards, I did the water temple first and had a hard time both with the boss there as well as the mud thing before you even get to the dungeon. Kind of sabotaged myself there twice in a row, the remainder of the game felt quite easy.

I’ve always wanted to get into a Shiren, but I’m honestly not taking a liking to the 3D artstyle. I’ll probably start by diving into one of the sprite ones first.

Pokemon and most anime in general, or anything else targeted at children, always was and will be a commercial. That’s not even necessarily a bad thing, since a lot of them aim at being good enough that people want merch.

I did not. Back when Second Light released I’ve seen people praise the game for how much of an improvement it was. I planned on playing the first one anyway, but I could not find a physical copy.

About halfway through Blue Reflection: Second Light

The story is fine, but I’m unsure about the battle system. At first I loved it, but building up a combo in every fight makes random encounters kind of a drag. I wouldn’t mind this as I could just avoid them - however, you need to farm drops quite a lot for the crafting system.

You mean a pokemon release with actual effort behind it instead of a cash grab remake like with gen 4? Not gonna happen.

I don’t think its fair to look at the overall percentage. Instead, we should look into how many new managers got appointed and how many of these were woman. If that remains unchanged too, then it’s fair to complain.
