nintendo

it was so funny

I will always think about it

Fire Emblem FW had reviews drop today

and every reviewer says some version of "there's so much stuff to do, you'll almost forget this is a strategy game"

not a good sign

They put some strategy in my fishing game!

also. maybe we knew this but the game is structured around a level select

which was is a positive improvement compared to what I was expecting

each of the characters has their own chapters (which comprise of 1-5 missions), and you choose which chapter to do after completing the last, character agnostic

(you can also apparently pause chapters and swap to other ones, then swap back later)

I figured that would be the case personally. It makes sense that they want you to see every chapter/every story from each character's perspective in order to unlock them for the "true fight"

O i shld transfer ig

The fromsoft Switch game doesn't look bad

Nightreign ended up being pretty fun, though a little surprised the Switch one is more pvp focused

People have been hyping the possibility of a Terranigma rerelease being announced on the 24th of August. And I just don't see it from the video that teased it https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:bx5zp3qxqbi6tpzkrxpbiosn/post/3mteewoc27g2g?ref_src=embed

What convinces me more is that shortly before I was shared this I had a Terranigma dream. I dreamt that there was an alternate ending where if you tell Light Side Elle that you like her more than Dark Side Elle, then after you beet the final boss you can walk outside Crysta's gate, go down the Hole and then the game transitions to you being in Storkholm.

ughhhhhhhhhhhhh

this niggas back

need i remind you

hes got... 2 good designs

I like sinistea

obstagoon might be the worst thing in pokemon

he had to tweet to explain what it meant

and how it worked

>left to make the plucky squire

tatsugiri would probs be my second favorite on there after sinistea

sinistea, tatsugiri and golurk

are his only good ones

Max

your namesake mon is in there

guzzlord is only funny in name alone

Okay, he did the camera animations in pokemon colosseum

he can't be all that bad

I love my rotating camera

guzzworld is one of the worst designed pokemon ever, and that's in comparison to even the other UBs.

ok but

another level

they had him as director for SWSH i believe with the reasoning like "hes from there so he should direct it"

and i think SWSH pokemon design is in general really bad

Its okay, there has not been a good non remake pokemon game since black and white 2

so it does not matter who they hire to do what

legends arceus

SV

legends ZA

Did not play ZA, thats fair on Arceus

although idk if I'd say good, I enjoyed it running around throwing balls at stuff, but the battling sucked and I never wanted to do it

i mean thats halfway the point of legends arceus

it was "what if we went all in on catching as a mechanism"

and ZA is a direct foil to that concept

as its "what if we went all in on battling as a mechanism"

its cool parallels and i think they both mostly succeed in their set out goals

No I agree that was the point of Arceus, I just think battling sucked and the game would almost be better if you removed it entirely

ZAs battle system is actually good but i think everything dies way too fast

pokemons damage output isnt balanced around real time

since pokemon is mostly about one shotting or two shotting the enemy

??????????????

FORTUNES WEAVE HAS ONE SAVE SLOT??????

is there no difficulty

fuck

its like pokemon

you just open the game and thats your save

how is there no difficulty though

my only assumption is

difficulty is a setting

there's got to be at least classic/casual right

and not like

somethign you start a run with

what is with nintendo and dropping save slots

that feels so critical for all of their games

okay its super autistic

when you start the game you select classic/casual and hard/normal

then if you want to change your difficulty

at the "hub area"

you redo the prologue of the game

in your intended difficulty

amazing
