That reminds me, I still need to buy this. Can't say if I'd buy DLC or not, but likely not.

This looks pretty rad, I may end up getting it around launch.

This is a neat idea, but making it time-limited seems strange to me.

TalkBack / Re: Xenoblade Series Blowing Up On Switch 2 With New Game, Switch 2 Editions Of Original Trilogy

« Last post by broodwars on Today at 06:09:03 PM »

I still haven't gotten around to Xenoblade 2 and 3, so a new one doesn't excite me at the moment. I'll probably download the NS2 editions of 2 and 3 if and when I finally get to them; definitely 2 since I've heard the performance in that game is awful.

I played Xenoblade 2 recently on my Switch 2 (original Switch version), and the performance is OK but there's definitely some graphical shenanigans going on and the load times aren't great. I don't think the game is all that good in general, but if you're going to play it definitely wait for the Switch 2 upgrade.

You mainly play 2 so you can get to 3: the good one.

I kind of wish that the leaks were not true, though they were so prominent that it felt pretty much confirmed. I'm sure I'll pick it up eventually because I'm a sucker, but remakes in general don't have much interest from me.

TalkBack / Re: Nintendo Switch Sports Resort Serves Up October 22 Release

« Last post by Mop it up on Today at 05:53:57 PM »

I haven't tried Nintendo Switch Sports, so I don't think I have a need for Resort. Come to think of it, I don't think I ever played the original Wii Sports Resort, I could probably get just as much from going back and trying that. Gotta say though, I think only Nintendo would have the gall to dedicate 5 minutes of a large presentation to thumb wrestling. And I say that as a compliment!

Oh, Spring Man won.

Someone at Nintendo really thought we needed a deep dive on thumb wrestling in a Direct that was already struggling to justify its existence at that point in the show.

Can't say I'm all that excited for yet another JRPG centered around school life, but eh...we'll see what they show as we get closer to release.

As for the Switch 2 editions, I'm definitely in "wait and see" mode on those after what happened with X's Switch 2 edition. They're welcome additions if they're good, but I've already played all 3 of those games fairly recently and don't plan on playing them again any time soon.

Considering that lack of content was one of the big complaints about Emerald Rush considering the price, this being time-limited seems a bit ridiculous to me.
