John E. Dynamite Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 That Nintendo Direct. OH BOY. Seriously, did Nintendo just buy Squaresoft circa 1999? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I'll end up getting Switch Sports for bowling. I found something oddly mind numbingly relaxing about Wii Bowling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm likely getting it (because I'm a sucker for Square Enix PS1 RPG's) but the game looks rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Squeenix, for not forgetting the XBox players or that April usually sucks on the gamer's calendar. Between this game, Skyrim, and Witcher 3, I will not see daylight until 2030.

NikoBaltimore Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I'm most excited for Mario Strikers and Switch Sports. I played the crap out of the former and the latter was always a hit with myself and friends. As long as we remember those damn wrist straps I sense a lot of bowling in our future.

Craig H Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Just got around to watching the Nintendo Direct. For someone who has never played a Mario Strikers game, how similar is it to Sega Soccer Slam? SSS is still one of the most fun soccer and multiplayer games ever and I've been wanting something, anything to scratch that itch for a long time now. Other than that, I mean, cool, Front Mission, but I'd rather just go back and keep playing Into the Breach. I look forward to the amount of accidents that happen with "kicking" the ball in the Switch Sports soccer game. Oh. Cool. Two whole games for Nintendo Online. Great. And for some reason I figured there would be something about Xenoblade Chronicles 3. I meant to include that in my predictions the other day. Outside of Switch Sports, there's not a whole lot to get excited for here. For me anyway. Maybe if I ever get around to playing Xenoblade Chronicles then I'll care about playing the third. Other than that, this all just looks like more junk for the Nintendo eShop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I will admit a curiosity for Lost Ark but goddamn is "2 weeks until Elden Ring" the last possible time window I am going to start a MMO, oh well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hah! My friend just yesterday was trying to convince me to play Lost Ark and I told him something similar, that Elden Ring and Horizon were both coming out in weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original Mario Strikers was one of Next Level Games' first titles and some of their founding members came from the team that made SSS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christopher.annino Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I ordered a hard copy so when that comes, I start. Of course, THIS is the weekend I end up with covid, quarantining in the basement where all the gaming systems are On the upside, I finished/platinumed Control. Decent game but very repetitive and frustrating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 For me, it's tuesday to start the 100+ GB of Total War Warhammer 3, to be played at 03:01 am on the 17th when it unlocks. (and yes, due to my sleeping "schedule" being atomized with all the shit going on, it's very likely I'll be awake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or whatever resales there are would be the statue only unless people are being evil and would sell an already redeemed code too. I also pre-ordered the Collector's Edition for Elden Ring PS5. And Monark and Atelier Sophie 2 are out in the next two weeks as well. Bye bye money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 So for people not in the loop, Street Fighter 6 got rebooted a few years ago after some kind of disastrous internal showing that cost the head of the entire fighting game department their job. So that teaser being a big nothingburger with a cheap logo is also representative of how direly on fire that game appears to be. I wish them the best, but honestly Capcom's been on such a winning streak that they're about due for something to fall on its face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salads Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Street Fighter 3 was also disastrous from a developmental standpoint (and was met with a poor initial reaction) so that could be a good thing. Well, maybe not for Capcom but for me when I get round to playing it years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew POE! Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 It's entirely possible that Capcom could read the reaction online to the logo and change it to have the traditional Street Fighter lettering and Roman numerals. May not help the game however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, I sit here with a degree in graphic design, seeing crap like this, and realizing whoever made this design is probably making $30k to $50k more than me. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
