Can't Shield Charge with wands. I'd just look for a good Rare mace with a bunch of spell power.

How many NES Classics did they end up making before it went out of production? 3 million? They said they would make more SNES than that, but that doesn't mean they'll make them all for the release date. I'm sure there will be a few more huge shipments for Holidays. They stopped making the NES...

Atlus is 3rd party, and the new Etrian game has been in the works for awhile. Not to mention the entire Etrian franchise is built around the DS/3DS and dual screens and drawing dungeon maps - it can't work on the Switch or any other platform for that matter. They'd need to completely re-work...

Apparently each Gamestop in Dallas area got 6 to 16 of them. But they also held some back for online bundles which are on sale right now.

Was able to snag a pre-order at GameStop, 15 minutes after their tweet went up. Was already 4 people in-line ahead of me for 6 pre-orders total.

Hopefully they normalize the armor. Having to have a set for Melee and Ranged is stupid.

Where do you see that Nintendo and it's portable studios are still developing titles for the 3DS? Everything still coming out in 2017/18 have been in development for years. I'm sure some 3rd party Japanese devs will continue supporting it for years just like they did the PSP/DS because of...

Sun/Moon are already getting the sequel treatment on 3DS. The Switch mainline game will be a new title. They took a survey a couple weeks ago and posted results - something like 83% of voters use the Switch exclusively at home. There is no reason for them to kill off the 3DS line while it's...

Pokemon is in IP fatigue? Sun/Moon sold a metric fuck ton and still is every month.

Nintendo doesn't dictate price 3rd party games. Developers can sell for whatever they want.

The Switch is getting the next mainline Pokemon, that's really all you need to know to guarantee it's long term success. Although the earliest we'll see it is Holidays 2018. Also I'm pretty sure Nintendo in April only estimated being able to sell 10 million units the rest of this fiscal year...

Someone credible leaked the actual hardware numbers for July a couple days ago on NeoGaf. Switch was ~230k, PS4 was ~220k, 3DS 105k, and XB1 was less than that. All the software rankings they leaked also ended up being true in the actual report. Same guy who usually leaks intermittently. NPD...

Their main issue is competing with Apple (in their lead up to iPhone 8 coming out this fall) for production lines/parts in LCD screens and NAND memory. Nintendo estimates they will be able to ramp up production for the Holidays, probably because Apple is getting close to finishing their first...

There will still be games on the Switch, if they want to keep the Japanese market at least, which has what's been driving MH sales. 3DS wasn't great hardware compared to Vita, but Capcom has always chosen the hardware with the most sales. Sony torpedoed their own device with poor first party...

Yeah but it's all we got - I believe some publishers are providing digital sales to NPD now though (EA, Ubisoft, etc) but not Steam or Nintendo. It's not like in Japan where everything is tracked and public.

This is a pretty big gamble by Capcom. Monster Hunter is one of their few consistently successful franchises and betting so hard on Western adoption could end up hurting them - the most recent games have sold decent in the West but that was with Nintendo doing a lot of the marketing. PC/PS4 is a...

NPD Results for July are in: NPD Sales Results for July 2017 Switch #1 hardware, Splatoon 2 #1 software. Xbox #4 in hardware after Switch, PS4, 3DS. Can Forza 7 and XB1X save XB1 sales for 2017?

I bet Dany shows up with a Dragon to save them from the Night King next week so yeah.

ODS was extremely expensive on Phinigel all through Kunark -> Luclin as it's an extremely rare drop and every caster and priest wants it. Velious adds two more droppable MP3 items in Crystalline Torque (rare spawn, no stats) and Decisive Boots of the Kin (very rare drop from a handful of mobs...

Liquid picked Broodmother after Empire first picked BH, wut.

I read the first trilogy awhile ago so I can't remember all the fine details. I wish there was a good wiki for his works like there is for Sanderson.

Man these loser interviews are rough. Bulba looked devastated.

Make sure you get the updated version (automatic on Kindle). He cleaned it up and updated some parts of the story for the 10th? anniversary recently.

No point farming Cerobi in this version, can get it all elsewhere. Go through once to get Telekinesis and maybe you'll get lucky but otherwise just move on.

It's also used for the joycons and pro controller. Works similar to the PS4 - it's bluetooth chip only works for the controllers and you have to use a USB dongle for a headset. Problem is you could only use a dongle for the Switch while docked, it's not an option while portable - also Nintendo...

Yeah Nintendo is mostly selling as many Switch as they can make, and they can't make as many as they want. Delaying the console wouldn't make much sense. This way they get to sell it to early adopters while they ramp up for the Holidays.

Not really relevant, it was before the holidays is all I'm saying. Sales didn't pick up until Super Mario 3D Land in November and Mario Kart 7 in December - it's only notable game until then was Zelda OoT 3D in June.

It's getting the next mainline Pokemon, that's really the only 3DS developer they need to push units. We also know Atlus has two Switch games in the works, including Shin Megami Tensei 5. The other two big 3DS developers are Level-5 and Capcom. We don't know the future plans for handheld Monster...

Splatoon 2 sold 650k in 3 days in Japan, and 100k Switches sold alongside it. That's an over 400% increase in first week sales over Splatoon 1, on a smaller install base. Game is gonna be huge in Japan, should easily surpass Splatoon 1 sales by the end of the year. It's safe to say the Switch...

I think the Isekai genre has gone too far this time: Isekai Onsen ni Tensei shita Ore no Kounou ga Tondemosugiru chap 1 - LHtranslation

No point to grind LPs. You can get 3 Golden Amulets by that time in the game and outside of the higher weapon/accessory/magick nodes (which you don't need because you don't have those unlocked yet anyways) you'll have more than enough LP to get everything just by playing through the story...

It's got the new Shovelknight expansion (plus full past games if you never played those) - great retro platformer. Might be on the harder spectrum for a kid though if he's used to Yoshi/Kirby.

It dropped off giants in Frontier Mountains for a month or less on Live. I'm not sure if it dropped on Phinny but it got a focus effect added retroactively - those didn't exist until Luclin, they got added to old items in Classic/Kunark/Velious but aren't removed during those era's on TLP...

I assume it's fixed for Agnarr - Phinigel seems to be their beta test for this stuff. VP on Phinigel had post-revamp "Aged" items dropping for awhile, as well as post-PoP revamp Velketor's, DN, and SG items dropping off rare named for a month after Velious launch with NToV level of stat...

I'd move 4 down to Good Tier but otherwise my list is the same.

The story of FF12 so far seems literally the original Star Wars trilogy.

I never got to play FFXII. How can they put out shit like 13 and 15 when they had made a game like this in the last 10 years? I'm enjoying Zodiac Age more than FF6.

It was available on Amazon twice this weekend for about 30 min-1 hour each.

Seems like a big boot camp for TI. EG running some real meme heroes or circa 2014 lineups.

I really enjoy the Metroidvania gameplay of the Souls series which is why 2 is so low for me, since the base game is basically 3 linear paths off of the main hub town.
