Origami King was close to a 10/10 game for me. The main reason it isn't was because of the combat. Music, GFX, Story & narrative where all 10/10So if you still haven't played Origami King perhaps you should get it while it's on sale because it's the best game
It's not a new thing for Nintendo to intentionally sit on certain titles for scheduling reasons.I still feel it is very strange for a company like Nintendo to be holding up finished title while other company had no qualm in releasing unfinished title lol. What's so different between Ninty and other company there?
To me this is way better year than 2017. In fact i don’t think any lineup even outside the switch era will top 2022 if that list is realHow would you all feel if 2022's lineup was:
Would you be satisfied with 2022 if this was the lineup?
- Pokémon Legends: Arceus
- Kirby and the Forgotten Land
- Splatoon 3
- Fire Emblem
- Mario + Rabbids 2
- Sequel to Casual game
- Triangle Strategy
- Bayonetta 3
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2
- Xenoblade Chronicles 3
- Advance Wars 1 + 2
- Metroid Prime HD Remaster
There are lots of games here that I will be interested in buying, but I will also be disappointed in how it's lacking in major new IPs.How would you all feel if 2022's lineup was:

The regular combat was bearable (which is not the greatest praise I know) but the bosses were great. Everything else about the game was simply perfect.Origami King was close to a 10/10 game for me. The main reason it isn't was because of the combat. Music, GFX, Story & narrative where all 10/10
The Nintendo differenceNintendo testing the games, thats the difference
I would play everything here (well, casual sequel pending more information). Some of the best Nintendo IPs and a heavy slant towards RPGs and strategy games feels custom-built for me. Here's hoping!How would you all feel if 2022's lineup was:

So basically what you’re saying is they’re gonna sit on it for the rest of time.I just know in my heart of hearts that Nintendo has been sitting on a finished Sin & Punishment 3 for close to a decade. They're just waiting for the day when gamers finally develop good taste.

it’s like the first game but now you can explore the wets that were previously verbotenLooks like there's some decent sales this time around for games. Well gotta look into what the Mrs. might get me for christmas. ;D
Go on, i'm interested.
Hotter take: EXP and level growth isn't really necessary in any game (maybe in pokémon because it's cool to see them evolve). It just makes everything grindier and more boring. It's ubiquitous now and a requirement of every game because our lizard brains love seeing the little numbers go up.My cold take too. I think if they had used the combat system more sparingly rather than it being for every mook, it would have gone over better. I thought it was quite cool, but not nearly cool enough to carry the ubiquity it had.
Warmer take: adding EXP wouldn't have been a fix. It would have made it worse.
Mouthwatering lineup. Adding Silksong, Sports Story and the usual array of amazing indie titles that always show up and my wallet's crying.How would you all feel if 2022's lineup was:

wow that's so sadReal take: Every game would be improved by becoming a turn based RPG.
I genuinely believe this.
The truth hurts, and pain can make you sad.wow that's so sad
Every RPG maybe, not every game. And then definitely not ARPGs or "RPGs" like Zelda is an RPG.Real take: Every game would be improved by becoming a turn based RPG.
I genuinely believe this.
I want it to exist because of how absurd it sounds.I don't want turn based Mario Kart, that's for sure.
no I'm just sad that you don't enjoy other video gamesThe truth hurts, and pain can make you sad.
I’m going to go ahead and say that I’d absolutely play a tabletop Mario KartI don't want turn based Mario Kart, that's for sure.
Oh I certainly enjoy other games, but:no I'm just sad that you don't enjoy other video games
the thought of anyone not enjoying mario kart or wii sports and wishing they played like pokemon has ruined my day and I just woke up
I’m going to go ahead and say that I’d absolutely play a tabletop Mario Kart
I'm going to allow this because it's a necessary evil to counteract the "turn-based gameplay should be erased from history" people, one of the greatest current threats to humanity.Real take: Every game would be improved by becoming a turn based RPG.
I genuinely believe this.
Even wave race 64?Real take: Every game would be improved by becoming a turn based RPG.
I genuinely believe this.
Especially Wave Race 64.Even wave race 64?
sigh I just know I'm going to buy this again and be disappointed (again) that there's a really good game in here waiting to be found underneath the charm if the devs could just scrap all the annoyances out like the gacha and crafting grind. But I will always support the people that gave us Legend of Mana and Mother 3.
Kirby & the Forgotten Land rated by ESRB.
Cruisin' works similarly but it's Cruise and Yeah!Turn based Wave Race would be like Bravely Default. You can 'wave' and forego the chance to move, saving up energy, or you can 'race' and take a huge step forward but expend energy.
There's good games you can get for that price, too.I can get Balan Wonderwold for 7 bucks... I'm hesitating.
The Gematsu article with the trailer didn't have any details on changes. IIRC the gacha was mostly a bonus raffle thing I think? Which was in the trailer briefly. But the game had the requisite F2P stuff with an emphasis on grinding crafting materials and some timer based stuff (I think growing the eggs?) which was odd because the game wasn't F2P.I had never heard of this until yesterday but it looks so much like Legend of Mana I'm surprised I didn't know about it. Do we know if this removes any F2P gacha elements from the mobile version?
Real take: Every game would be improved by becoming a turn based RPG.
I genuinely believe this.
weeaboos, you have my pity
