Asian release of Final Fantasy VII + VIII incoming
Looks like we have cover art for the DQ stuff too


I'll probably hold off on both for a bit, just to see if they plan US releases

You won't be sorry! And if I can give you one piece of advice, it's WORK ON COMBOS. They seem very hard to even start at first, and now I can literally complete the entire game start to finish without ever breaking my combo.

I read on the twitter that the "enhancements" of the DQ pak are graphically horrid. That's disappointing, as it seemed like an instant purchase.

Aaaannnndddd it was good. LA is my most favorite game of all time, and this is the same game. It took me 10 1/2 hours to beat the whole including the color dungeon but not all the secret shells. The frame rate is crummy and I felt the controls were a little sluggish. It's good for people who've never experienced it, but I like the originals better. I bought it at GameStop and I traded it back in today for $60.

I was even considering updating my profile pic, but the new Mr. Wright picture just did not have the same character. Not literally the same character, it was still peach, but it was just a black background with a snapshot of her holding her parasol.

Can someone explain to me how a game can get released without a title? How do they file it?

I think the title IS actually Untitled Goose Game.

If anyone can buy me a collector's edition and standard, that would be great. Not sure what is going on. Trying my work address too and it says not available. They don't ship to Texas?



Didn't seem to have a problem, not sure what the issue is.

Its cuz that version went on sale a couple weeks ago.

I just tried to order one of each and got the same message. I think you have to order the ce and regular version separately.

I grabbed one last thursday and it's awesome. It's probably what you're expecting, but there's a little extra layer of quality built into it that you don't quite appreciate until you're holding it in your hands. Battery life is solid, it performs well, the screen I believe "pops" a little more than the regular Switch, the ability to pass game saves back and forth between devices is really cool...for parents who were on the fence about getting a Switch because of the price tag, this will be huge. Definite thumbs up all around from me, really enjoying this thing.

Some people are already having a drift issue with the Switch lite, so I wonder what is gonna happen with that one for repairs.
