    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    In Japan I think the #2 and #3 spots are Dragon Quest XI for 3DS and PS4. Never really got into that series.

    Dark Souls 2

    To me it's definitely the worst Souls game, but it's still worth playing. The creator, Miyazaki, was less involved in Dark Souls 2 due to work on Bloodborne and it shows.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I dunno - it's the #1 seller on Amazon right now in the US, and the most pre-ordered game in Japan. I wish the US had a system to track pre-orders like they do in Japan.

    Splatoon 2 Direct just finished. 4 hour demo/Splat Fest on 7/15, download from eShop.

    New FLCL series co-produced by Adult Swim/Production I.G.

    New Trailer out at Anime Expo - completely new soundtrack by the Pillows instead of using their current catalog.

    Doesn't confirm anything. But it's in the same color scheme as the Switch Neon controllers.

    Well this is pretty blatant from Platinum: Hope Nintendo paid for a Bayonetta 3.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    POTD was (not sure since SB haven't done it) the best way to exp as a DPS, because the queues are instant. As a Tank or Healer the Dungeon roulettes were better.

    DOTA 2

    It's so confusing what you are saying, because DC is still in. Then I realized Planet Odd is the old DC team.

    SNES Classic - 9/29 - $80

    When 3rd parties are in the same launch window as a Nintendo 1st party title on Nintendo hardware, the 3rd party gets destroyed in sales. That's all I'm saying. Licensing costs across the three platforms is pretty uniform now as well, based on indie developer interviews. Also, EPROM based...

    SNES Classic - 9/29 - $80

    Just because you have the power doesn't mean 3rd parties will make games for your hardware - and Nintendo doesn't need it to make great games - so you'd possibly have an expensive powerful console (that Nintendo is taking a loss on most likely) that still only has Nintendo games. The main...

    SNES Classic - 9/29 - $80

    Update from Nintendo to questions from Kotaku: So no guarantee that they will produce/sell this past Holidays, just like NES Classic.

    SNES Classic - 9/29 - $80

    Hopefully they actually take preorders this time around to gauge interest instead of just making a million NES Classic's for Holidays and no more.

    Splatoon 2 is the most pre-ordered game in Japan at the moment, but they are nuts for it. It will do decent here like the first one.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Digitalfoundry or someone did the math, but it's basically a $250 piece of hardware. Throw in the dock and I doubt they are making too much profit off each one sold. It will get cheaper to produce, but Nintendo isn't going to cut the price unless it stops selling or they have a new revision on...

    Isn't that what I just said? It works in portable mode, with or without the joycons attached. I usually leave the joycons at home.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I use the Pro Controller, which is great. I like it better than the PS4 controller (which I have no problems with outside it's crap battery), and it has like 40 hour battery life. Amazon.com: Nintendo Switch Pro Controller: Video Games It's $10 more than a PS4/XB1 controller though. Pro...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Why are people using the joycons disconnected? It's more comfortable than a 3DS to play if you keep them connected and just play it like normal. I guess if you wanted to do split screen while portable but that seems awful except as a party trick, despite the Nintendo ads with millennial rooftop...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Best looking/stylistic MMO expansion I've ever played - some of the zones are just gorgeous and they hit the main city Kugane out of the park. They also knocked out the underwater/diving aspect so much better than say WoW Cataclysm.

    Mario Kart 8 is definitely the best of it's franchise, and Deluxe on Switch fixed it's only shortcoming (shit battle mode).

    Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, ARMS, Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment, Snipperclippers (If you have a friend/SO), next month is Splatoon 2.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    They have obtuse mechanics (you never see damage numbers or monster health bars, item drop chances, etc), skill and crafting system not well explained, and difficult combat - all makes it hard to get into. The most recent games on 3DS have taken some steps to make it more beginner friendly...

    I was just commenting on what Spronk posted. I don't actually believe the Switch isn't getting new Monster Hunter games going forward - too much lost money for Capcom not to. All that shit Rafterman is spouting I have no idea. I think MH World is going to fail to meet Capcom's sales...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    All they said is they have nothing to announce, not that it's not getting localized. Completely transitioning Monster Hunter from handheld to console would be one of the dumbest things Capcom has ever done, and they have done a lot of dumb things. Consoles are dead in Japan, and that's where...

    Xeno games have always had awful character designs, I don't know why.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Different Kingdoms/Worlds each with different mechanics. No power-ups, instead Mario throws his hat to attack enemies and can also use his hat to control/become that enemy and use it's abilities to solve puzzles and obstacles. Still lots of platforming and collecting obviously. More in the vein...

    Looks like they just opened the floodgates for the Mario Odyssey demo area:

    Mario Odyssey looked incredible when they played it on Treehouse stream. This game might beat out BoTW for Game of the Year.

    I cant remember Monster Hunter ever being part of Nintendo E3 announcements. Generally Capcom does those during Tokyo Game Show later in the summer.

    Mainline Pokemon and Metroid Prime 4 on Switch, Nintendo wins.

    Didn't Miyazaki say he's done with the Souls games? Wouldn't that include Bloodborne? Maybe FromSoft shows up at the Nintendo conference, they are supposed to be working on something for the Switch. Still dreaming of Nintendo letting them use the Metroid IP...

    E3 2017

    Nah MH5 will still be Switch/handheld still. This new game is a movie based spin off for the West, not even announced for Japan actually - the gameplay looks way too different than traditional Monster Hunter. Hell they didn't even show Co-Op which no MH trailer has ever done.

    Yeah it uses the dual screens heavily, probably didn't want to rework it for Switch.

    Bethesda press conference, what a waste of time.

    I don't think they showed ANYTHING that was Xbox One/XB1X exclusive. If you have a good PC, there's no reason to buy this new console.

    Xbox One X may be a worse name than Wii U.
