Did you play the first one on Wii/3DS?

I played it on 3DS and thoroughly enjoyed it, played it mostly on the commute as well, good few months spent on it, was epic as well!

Also JRPG's typically aren't my thing, so considering I enjoyed it so much that's as big a compliment I can pay it.
No I never played the first one , I'm looking forward to seeing what the reviews say though :)

Mario will be goty it has to be , how do they keep releasing trailers showing new stuff , and I bet they've not even scratched the surface ..

switches library going to be amazing by Christmas
 
Well there are 15 weeks left in the year and 15 games coming this year which were announced last night.

This library is expanding fast!

That is ridiculous for the rest of this year!

Mario is going to absolutely smash it.

I got the Octopath demo from the US eShop. Not tried it yet. Intrigues me though. I'll give it a go later.
 
Capcom aren't supporting the Switch really.

Why have they ruined Super Meat Boy? The new game is just an iPhone runner style game where all you do is press jump at the right time as it aut runs for you.

Re: Meatboy. Is that what that was? I watched it on my tablet this morning but didn't notice that that was how it was playing. Ugh that sounds terrible.

Too many thats.

There are plenty of details of you can stand trawling through the cesspit that is neogaf.

Fair enough. I do go there because I like reading the Media Create sales threads. Apart from some breaking news stuff I really cba to trawl through it. Plus the place can be toxic which I really do not like at all.

Yep, it's just a port of a runner game they're making for mobiles. I have absolutely no interest in that style of game.

Mine :p
 
Use colour!
Edited :p

Have some patience man :p

Xenoblade Chronicles 2, whilst it does look incredible in a lot of ways. I am not a fan of JRPGs really. I want to try Project Octopath Traveler because I was so incredibly blown away by the look of the "HD-2D" if I am honest. Kirby I was hyped about initially during E3 but seeing more of it last night. I am not sure. Currently it's a nope. But I'll see how it reviews.
