These series are basically between a rock and a hard place. Maybe Nintendo will continue them to keep the "core based" happy.
Racers, Rail shooters already have a ceiling.
I definitely get that, and many of these propositions do seem to be attempts to supplant the series as we know it. I do think there's no harm in experimenting in that way, but some amount of the series' DNA should be inherited. You refer to Uprising and the dichotomy between your stance that it fits with the Kid Icarus series identity and the beliefs of others that it does not. Clearly this subject is wibbly and wobbly and fairly nebulous, and even those in agreement that new takes should retain elements of the series' DNA will often disagree whether that has been accomplished.
I do think this played a role in that decision:
Unfortunately, Adventures didn't quite thread the Star Fox DNA into its own sequencing well enough to avoid causing a split. It's a shame, as I do think there are ways it could have adhered a bit more strongly to that while still following its own action-adventure path.
(Just as an aside, as someone who never had a 3DS to play it but loves what he's seen regarding the game and would savor the opportunity to experience it, what elements did you think Uprising brought over well from previous games to connect it to their legacy? Are there ways you might see to bring these or other elements into future Kid Icarus games which might not fall into the same genre?)
I fully understand your feelings i had this happen to me in the past too and damn I also can't wait for xenoblade 3!I know I have been saying this before but it feels like I need to scream this into the void at least once a month by now.
I really, REALLY want Xenoblade 3. I don't know what it is... I usually am content with the video games I have available at any given time(because lbr, there are too many anyways). I get excited about new releases, but I rarely want a game enough to randomly think about it when it doesn't even have a release date (let alone an official announcement in this case) yet. The last time I wanted a game this much was BOTW, and even then that only really started to become this apparent to me after the Januaty 2017 trailer after which I had a legitimate date to look forward to.
I think it might be because I played Xenoblade 2 at a very painful time in my real life and the game provided an excellent escape from the bleakness of reality, if only a few hours at a time. Not that the game was happy-go-lucky but it did feel like I was in control of something, when I wasn't in control at all in real life.
I am in a similar situation like back then right now. Things are shitty and it's not a situation I can do anything about. It's sit, wait and hope and it makes you feel pretty powerless. Since I subconsciously connect an escape from that with Xenoblade 2, that might be why I want 3 so much.
This went dark. Lol Sorry, I don't mean to bring down the mood. I am fine in day-to-day life. We all have these phases in life where you think everyone and everything has it out for you and your loved ones. It passes...
Sooo cute, please give them pets from me.
I fully understand your feelings i had this happen to me in the past too and damn I also can't wait for xenoblade 3!
Right now im also having a harder time and i end up buying way to many games to distract myself. What brings me some joy right now is mario party superstars as its just so silly fun even if I just play it with randoms online.
Other than that maybe I can advise you some joyful games. Luigis Mansion 3 is just such a joyful fun game! Same goes for Links Awakening.
And if your more into rpgs i really found Bravely Default 2 a great escape. As it's just such a fairytale game and overall rather light hearted. It's really a great time and also challenging if you want it to be.
Xenoblade 2 is a very special game. I didn't wanted to love it. When I saw the first trailers the look throw me off as I loved xenoblade 1 and it felt even too anime for me. The only reason I ended up buying it was that I loved 1 so much and wanted a switch game over the Christmas time.Thanks for your reply. I know the feeling. It's like you're trying to make up for the sadness by giving yourself little bouts of happiness (and possibly over buying as a result).
I still have Link's Awakening lying around here somewhere from when I bought it on a sale, I might just try that.
Love JRPGs in particular, but the Bravely series is something I could never quite get into. My craving for Xenoblade 3 is very specific I feel, not even BOTW2 would be able to quench it at this point, even though I rank BOTW as the objectively better game compared to Xenoblade 2. Not to mention it was one of the best gaming experiences of my life.
Nothing is gonna change the fact that Xenoblade 3 isn't out yet, tho, so you're right I should probably try with some alternatives ❤
This exactly. I had a similar experience as you, in a similar mindset as well. Its also the game that got me back in playing and loving RPG's again. Both 1 and 2 are masterpieces in my eyes and, if three is real, I don't doubt it'll end up in the same category <33Xenoblade 2 is a very special game. I didn't wanted to love it.

And then wow... I fell i love with every single character, with the music and even the looks. The game even made me a bigger anime fan lol. As much as I also loved botw in the end xenoblade 2 was the more memorable experience for me. Even if it had a lot of small flaws.
My contibution to the NSO discourse
Lol Ubisoft is failing on Switch while others banking millions. What are you doing mate. If you don't have anything right now, just port some old ass games to Switch, even with PS2 Remasters like Rayman 3 you can make some serious money. Are you THAT incompetent?

Then you're a Ghibli princessIf a deer comes right up to you that means you're a Disney princess obviously but what if it comes right up to you on Halloween?

Hit me up if you want some bells to get a jump start.
I can also offload a few hundred thousand or whatever the max is that I can fit in my bag whenever you want. Sitting at 20 million bells in the bank, so I’m sure that will cover whatever the cost of the new upgrades are.
MonolithSoft made that trailer that's why lol. I'm the same with you in this one.(On a side note I will never forgive Sakurai for that Pyra/Mythra Smash reveal. They even used fhe Xenoblade 2 Engine for those cutscenes (or something that looks extremely similar to it) and removed the Smash logo at the beginning so unlike the other Smash trailers, it wasn't clear at all that it was a Smash trailer. I was so high strung with confusion, joy and bewilderment for those entire 60 seconds or what that was... I swear they better never do that to me again... as happy as I am that they are in Smash...)
It's not just Pachter who is a fan of Furakawa. In the past year, I've spoken privately to many business analysts and business outlets.
From what I've gathered, business analysts/business journalists prefer Furakawa's style of management over Iwata's.
The reason: Furakawa comes from a business background (accounting, economics, marketing) while Iwata came from a developer background. So there's a bit of a bias there among business people who only care about growth. Business people love business people.
Rest in RiPJust a little over 12 hours until this thread is forever in the history books, and we move on to November!

So a new thread every month? Hmm i do like this methodJust a little over 12 hours until this thread is forever in the history books, and we move on to November!
I don't mind some of the bosses, except that they're way too many. some repeated for no good reason.I don't know how people feel about this, but after 2 bosses of Dread I feel like the boss battles are the worst part of the game. I like exploring so much more.
It's me. I am that audience.It won't move the needle on Switch sales, but Ubisoft should port "Beyond Good & Evil" to Switch.
Heck, release the old Splinter Cell games on there. I'm sure there's an audience on Switch that would love to play those.
I'm pretty sure that means you're Santa.I am interested in the answer to this question as well, since I once has a butterfly land on my nose....on Christmas. Falls in the same category, imo.
And the reviews haven’t dropped yet smh my head. Famiboards is so anti-consumer, expecting people to go into ST2 blindly.~12 hours until ST2!
loosely related follow-up: we recently got a fish and almost named him Lenjamin
This threw me off so much, because I really thought they were going to wait the extra day to release it on Friday. Was very cool though, I liked having LM3 on Halloween cause that's all i did that year.Remember When Nintendo actually released Luigi's Mansion 3 on Halloween?
good times.
they probably put the embargo on release day to avoid spoilers.And the reviews haven’t dropped yet smh my head. Famiboards is so anti-consumer, expecting people to go into ST2 blindly.

“the online isn’t worth it, all it does is download posts and show images. and sometimes those images don’t even load!”Meh, knowing the lazy and unambitious posters at Famiboards they’re probably just recycling the same talking points. Imagine paying $60 for this.
I remember when Amazon used to offer 20% off if we pre-ordered a thread.Can we get double the gold coins if we pre-order ST2?
Hey @Raccoon the embargo is up on your review of ST2’s title. (Embargo note: you can’t say what that title is though)And the reviews haven’t dropped yet smh my head. Famiboards is so anti-consumer, expecting people to go into ST2 blindly.
I was literally just typing a question asking what time the drop is. Get out of my head.Reminder! |ST Nov. 2021| drops at 12:01 AM Eastern, on November 1st 2021.
Lol, imagine that posting the like to dislike ratio on a Youtube video thinking it is a meaningful metric. Lots of likes and/or dislikes means lots of engagement which also means lots of people are interested in the product. From COD, to Pokemon, to this, to this, it's the same song and dance. The Youtube protest does nothing, company ranks in a ton of money, and those angry gamers (who have already bought the product they are supposedly upset about) take another L.
I agree. It means us PST peeps don't have to stay up as lateEastern time best time
