Needless to say everyone has secondary classes now and I’m really hummin’ along.

No problem.

Wow do the chapter 3 bosses ever scale up in difficulty. I've beaten two so far but both required multiple tries. I love how this game really forces you to use all your abilities and exploit boost and buff mechanics. Spamming your most powerful attack just doesn't work.

Smash Ultimate Direct.

Oh man, King K. Rool!!!!

That's going to be sweet

All that Castlevania stuff looks great. 34 songs for one stage! Wow. Castlevania has great music so I guess I shouldn't be surprised they went all out for that stage's music.

Any news about the special edition in Canada?

Meanwhile, I'm just sitting here more interested in TWEWY.

I recently bought one of these for my boys in the hope it would make them play less Fartnite but that all backfired as I've actually been playing it more, lol. Zelda is fricking amazing! Mario Odyssey & Mario Kart are fun too but Breath of the Wild is on a whole other level.

Also... you can play Fortnite on it!

Yeah I know but his friends are on the PS4 so as long as Sony keeps blocking that cross play my plan is sorta sound or at least it is if my wife asks 😆

Smash is going to be amazing, I can't wait!

Played half of it on DS way back. Would love to play it through completion.

Undertale is coming to the Switch now! For reasons I can't explain without spoilers, I would still recommend playing it on PC if at all possible, though.

That game's soundtrack is incredible.

Diablo 3 confirmed for the Switch. - including the ability for 4 player local co-op on one Switch. Also supports connecting up to 4 Switches together.

Also includes Zelda inspired items (awesome).

Diablo 3 - Skyrim Edition

I know the 'artsy 2D platformer' isn't as unique as it once was, but I think this looks especially excellent.



Also, The Messenger is out on Aug. 30 and looks like a really cool mixed throwback game.

Someone's going to have to explain the appeal of Octopath Traveler to me. I've been playing it for a few days now and it's just not doing anything to suck me in. Maybe it just isn't for me, but I don't get the hype at all. Very... average.

[Resolute 14]

It's a nostalgia call, really. The 16-bit style graphics + battle system. The stories are pretty average - which was also a hallmark of 90s JRPGs.

Ogre Battle next please.

[SuperMatt18]

I feel like there has to be Nintendo Direct coming soon.

Lots of Switch announcements dripping out and some hints that more news is to come.

I think it boils down to how much you like classic JRPGs, I got excited about it until I realized it would be a scroll box clickfest with lots of level grinding. I like the battle mechanics, but not enough.
