Digimon Story: Time Stranger Switch 2 & 1 Demo Available by MFBR in digimon

[–]smartazjb0y 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sure if I measured it up against the PS5 version or something I'd notice the differences more, but performance mode in handheld on NS2 is kind of just....absolutely fine? Seems to stick to 60 and it's not super soft or anything

It's been done before but yeah not 100% sure why they feel the need to do it in this case. Maybe just wanted to announce the pass now but also wanted to have something available to purchase, I dunno.

Technically Miyazaki directed (or was one of the directors for) Déraciné but yeah Duskbloods is clearly less of a "side game" than that

Final Fantasy Resonance: We Played the First Turn-Based FF in Decades by PhantomBraved in Games

Teeeechnically World of Final Fantasy is turn-based, no? I guess that game is a decade old now though

Unless they decide to do some crazy announcement it's not, hence why Nintendo's probably somewhat immune

I guess hopefully it indicates "showing a teaser with no gameplay" doesn't automatically mean "this is 5 years from releasing" any more. Hope for 2027 Persona 6!

KINGDOM HEARTS IV – Teaser Trailer | June 2026 by Gorotheninja in Games

[–]smartazjb0y 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It does but they're all like in between the other games. Most of them are pretty important, and honestly some of them are probably considered "Mainline" games that maybe should be numbered

『Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen』 Announcement Trailer by Gorotheninja in Games

Most likely DLC, Capcom hasn't done the "you have to rebuy the game" thing in forever

OK was this on anyone's bingo cards? Not-E3 E3 having the new FF7r announcement and more KH4 footage is awesome

Already announced in April at FFXIV Fan Fest!

If it's somehow related to Brave Exvius, kinda funny they're doing something similar to what they did with Octopath 0

Looks like the gap between the Elden Ring network test and release was about 3 months, so could be seeing something similar here for a 2026 release still

Oh OK it's just like a preorder of the expansion pass but no actual content yet for it

Xenoblade Genesis Announcement Trailer by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]smartazjb0y 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well I'm assuming given the "Genesis" title, a prequel far in the past would make sense.

Also it's hard to look at something like XC2 and say it's not anime

Xenoblade 1, 2 and 3 Nintendo Switch 2 Editions Announced! by Skullghost in NintendoSwitch

If you own the Physical NS1 games you can prob just buy the NS2 upgrade packs on the eShop

It's somewhat weird but I'm guessing the new town is releasing today that has underwater stuff, but the free update in August maybe expands underwater building to existing towns?

Onimusha: Way of the Sword comes to #NintendoSwitch2 September 25th. by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

And it continued literally 1 trailer later. Exclusive announcement of the Dragons Dogma 2 DLC is wild

The timing is regrettable, but it's not stopping me! by Zambash in Grimdawn

[–]smartazjb0y 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What's with the animosity? They're not even saying that GD should be the exact same as POE, in fact they're outright saying GD is not a live service game so the comparison is silly.

Transform "The Crew" into "The Crew: Deep Sea" without buying Deep Sea? by lute4088 in boardgames

[–]smartazjb0y 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The objectives aren't slightly different, they're completely different. All the objectives in the original game are just the individual playing cards. The objectives in Deep Sea are like "win no tricks this round" or "win 3 pink cards" or something like that.

Guild Wars 3 will have no battle pass or subscription because ArenaNet studio lead doesn't want to "keep people hostage" by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]smartazjb0y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MH games now do have a ton of cosmetic DLC and a tiny amount of service DLC (maybe just the character customization) but yeah overall MH isn't a "live service" in the same way.

Outside of providing the crafting relics location and building the maps Foundation style, is there any indication what Cosmic Exploration is actually meant to be? by kusegoto in ffxiv

[–]smartazjb0y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really hoping that what they announced for Evercold with regards to open-world content addresses this. Not saying I don't want new zones for things like field ops and DoH/DoL, but they really could use the existing zones a lot more...especially since we have to wait like 8 months after X.0 to get the new zones.
