Rence Posted August 30 Posted August 30 The Partner Direct + Indie World showcase was supposed to be the September Direct, but it got moved because Nintendo will reveal the Switch 2 soon (probably before the Tokyo Game Show so other studios can announce the games they will release on / are developing for the console). It looks like Super Mario Party Jamboree and Mario and Luigi Brothership will be the holiday titles this year. They'll probably get their own presentations. 1
Dolce Vita Posted August 30 Posted August 30 mysims was my childhood im so happy they're finally porting these games 2

Reginald Posted August 30 Posted August 30 Extremely excited for Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma! This one looks a lot more polished than Rune Factory 5, which was borderline-unplayable on Switch, keeping me from ever finishing it. I am cautiously hoping that this is actually a Switch 2 release in disguise, or will be ported to other consoles, but glad to see a much higher production value. 2
Kirby Kirbs Posted August 30 Posted August 30 I bought all 3 Famicom Detective Club games yesterday. Can't wait to leisurely dive into them as halloween approaches 1

I'm one of the few people that enjoyed Rune Factory 5 more than 4 believe it or not though lbr that may have to do with Murakumo, I need these games to give us more bachelors with facial & body hair PLEASE. But I totally agree- this looks leagues better (both the fact that it's a change up from the norm with Rune Factory, looks better, etc.) and I wouldn't be surprised if this was a dual Switch / Switch 2 launch title release. That alone would make it a day 1 console purchase from me I fear. New Zelda trailer too I was a little conflicted when I saw the sword form, because I like the fact that Echoes isn't just a "Zelda with a sword" game, but it's nice that it's not a permanent form change or anything.

thatsmydemi Posted August 30 Posted August 30 MySims physical edition is available for pre-orders everywhere now
Taste of Honey Posted August 30 Posted August 30 When I saw the swordfighter form in the trailer I immediately thought, "Ok, so what's the catch?". But it's cool they included something cause a lot of people would've wanted it.
thatsmydemi Posted August 30 Posted August 30 Rune Factory looking like Genshin Impact... I'm going to pretend this is the switch version they announced years ago and we never got I can't stop thinking about the trailer. This might be my first RF game. I have some questions... what is this franchise about? I remember some things from the trailers of the previous games... isn't it like some farming game? This one adds more rpg features?

I remember some things from the trailers of the previous games... isn't it like some farming game? This one adds more rpg features? Rune Factory was initially a spin-off series of the first-of-its-kind farming & dating sim Story of Seasons (formerly called Harvest Moon) that, alongside those 2 gameplay mechanics, also added a combat system (real time RPG) and dungeon crawling. So in SOS/HM games where you make money through mining, selling crops, buying animals and selling their byproducts, fishing, mining, cooking- in RF games you can do all of that and also sell loot drops from killing monsters, craft weapons & armor (that can also be sold), and instead of having typical animals like cows/sheep/chickens you can recruit monsters who will fight with you (some also do have the standard byproducts like eggs, milk). Since there is a lot more to do, farming is much more optional in RF games compared to SOS/HM, but you're probably required to do at least a little bit of everything to do well. Even marriage/befriending townspeople is optional. The franchise itself isn't super deep tbh. Each game in the series has the trope of the protagonist having amnesia and saving whatever town/world you're in through some sort of evil villain. The numbered games are pretty much all more formulaic with each other, but there's also spin-offs that are a bit more unique (Rune Factory Frontier, Tides of Destiny, and then this upcoming one). Which is prob why it looks better than RF5 did Honestly, these games go on sale incredibly often so you may as well try one out. RF4 is the one most would recommend, as would I since it's the most polished and the last game before the company that made RF went out of business so they really put their all into the game (even if I think it's overrated...). RF3 is a good option too. It's a lot quicker to play through, faster-paced, little less complicated. Probably my favorite of the numbered games. I've been a Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons/Rune Factory stan for the longest time, I gotchu

Magickarp Posted August 31 Posted August 31 What in the Distortion World? GF/ILCA wishes. The game looks so good i just wish they used a different artstyle

FOCK Posted September 1 Posted September 1 (edited) Nintendo Live 2024 Sydney was cute. I had read experiences about the extended queues and wait times for the store on day 1, so I didn't bother with that & prioritised the meet & greets. Was lucky enough to snap pics with Pikachu, Kirby & the legendary voice of Mario himself, Charles Martinet! They had pretty cool life-size sculptures of Kirby & Link/Zelda. The Mario Dojo was well done, too. Overall, it was visually impressive, I think they kinda cheaped out on the freebies though - It's a free lottery event, but I expected maybe more opportunities to win stuff in mini tournaments etc. The Nintendo Live goodie bag you get on entry was pretty sweet. Got a lanyard, stickers, pins & a gold commemoration coin. Cute way to have spent a Sunday, overall. Edited September 1 by FOCK 2

Magickarp Posted September 1 Posted September 1 Taking naps better not freeze time for all the enemies too
Rence Posted September 2 Posted September 2 A Link Between Worlds is AMAZING I hope Echoes of Wisdom will be just as good 3
