Enemies just deal bull damage no matter what. Sink your points into VAT if you're going the glass cannon route. I started with stealth, but then switched over to Mechanist when I realized that it's better to just have a companion do all the heavy lifting since they practically never die.

This game was very hard to get into last year, though I ended up finishing the story and somewhat enjoying it.

It's together, NOW OR NEVER. Sawano + Fate is based.

Fish are friends, not food.

Don't forget me!

We will be playing.

Xenoblade Chronicles X is the only one that matters at this point.

Multi-month review roundup: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - 10/10 Valkyrie Elysium - 6/10 Star Ocean 6: The Divine Force - 7/10 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II Remake - 8/10 Sonic Frontiers - 7/10 God of War: Ragnarok - 8/10 Which ones to review in full?

Take that, Ragnarok.

Now I've learned to never help you out.

Oh boy... The GotY nominations are surprisingly varied this year. While the majority are "AAA", openworld games, it's nice to see two indie games make the cut. That aside, it's fairly obvious that the two big contenders are Elden Ring and God of War: Ragnarok, with Horizon: Forbidden West and...

The synthwave feeling sets in...

Shadow of the Colossus is a big one for me. It's one of the earliest "openworld" design concepts that come to mind and the notion of scaling giant titans has always been intriguing. Albeit musically sparse, the soundtrack is often regarded as iconic with its epic, sweeping orchestral...

Go Shiina is back at it!

Twice as much revenue for unfinished products.

Well, this entire company is a sad state of affairs... Releasing a half-baked product early just to make it in before the holiday earnings report is pretty on the nose for GF at this point. Doesn't matter, though, since they'll still make oodles off it before the year is up.

God of War: Ragnarok

Mah boi.

Valkyrie Elysium Xenoblade Chronicles 3 stuff on the side until Vol 2 DLC drops this week.

As usual, Yoshi won't be there until the inevitable sequel.

Okay, Sonic music still kicks ass.

I'm in agreement that Nintendo has the final say, but removing Xenoblade from the equation would not magically make room for a renaissance of older titles. Nintendo has made partnerships with outside developers that proved to be successful; perhaps it's time they started doing that again. No, I...

Because... Canceling Xenoblade would not suddenly open up the floodgates for "abandoned" projects such as F-Zero, Kid Icarus, or Golden Sun. Nintendo as it is would suffer without MonolithSoft's technical expertise, which they've used Xenoblade to hone to near perfection just by getting XC3 to...

The fact that MonolithSoft has been able to release Xenoblade Chronicles 3 in such a complete state is a marvel. They've been busy carrying the weight of many flagship franchises such as Animal Crossing, Kirby, Splatoon 3, and Zelda to top it all off. XC3 got released in the middle of a drought...

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 DLC will probably headline the Direct, and then I'm hoping BotW2 will finally get a title drop. Silksong release date would be a nice surprise. There's also word on a Metroid Prime 1 remaster, but it would be ideal for a package of all three bundled together.

Gimme that sweet, sweet etherrrrrr.

Are we blindly searching for meaning?

Ratio your music thread with this masterpiece.

I AM DARKBLOOM

Splatoon 2.5 is the more accurate title here. There's still not that much to make it stand apart from the second game aside from some incremental additions. One of the things they could have improved is the hub world, but it's still small in scope and lacking depth. Inklings have all these cool...

Adults had their fun; nows it's the squids' turn.

The successor to Gaur Plains. <3

Initiate groovy piano rock.

Perfection in the utmost sense.

No Xenoblade 3?

The Prime remasters could be done by a third-party, like Iron Galaxy.

Metroid Prime 1 Remastered is rumored to be a big holiday release this year, so hopefully previews for Prime 4 won't be too far behind since they were essentially keeping the trilogy on hold until then. Beat me to Trails lol. Trails of Cold Steel 1 & 2 are also way overdue, but the Switch is...

Yeah, what Mark said. The link didn't preview the way I wanted it to.

https://mobile.twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1541406011042545665 Seems that the rumors were true.

Ironically it's large enough to crash the special edition site page lol.

"The JRPG" is simply coming out sooner, just like when Splatoon 2, Smash Ultimate, and New Horizons got dedicated Directs. This is not the end of the world. You don't have to be a fan, but nor do you have to talk down on it just because it isn't an interest to you.

Oh, so you'd rather have Xenoblade 3 take up about 10 minutes of the Direct? BotW 2 got pushed back to next year so of course XC3 would be a priority in the meantime. It's a business decision that Nintendo made to keep it separate from the main fare, which is rumored to come out next week. Just...

The voices in my head keep me wondering what's next
