Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase (October 2020)
- Thread starter Meelow
- Start date
You should sell your Switch then. No point in keeping it if you dont enjoy it.
Bravely Default 2, Story of Seasons Switch, and RF 5 (Japanese Direct). 2021 is already looking pretty stacked on the 3rd-party exclusives front (including 2 MH games).
they said its going to come soon one month ago.... so i guess its still comming but wtf... well its panic button so im giving them a benefit of a doubt.
From day 1 like the other versions to "I think this got cancelled"
Leaning in that direction. Which sucks because I enjoy the hardware. Being able to play while lying in bed is tops. But if there's nothing I want to play, it kind of messes with that idea.
Ok?
Just sell it lol. No one is forcing you to keep it and if the games are not up to your taste then bail out
How exactly do Cloud versions work? I'm checking Control on the eShop right now and it says "Free Download". That can't be right, can it?
Same! I'm gone for one hour and there's a Direct!
...And people are called the company "Nintenof!"
......Why are we calling it Nintenof?
It's an evolution of the DS FF remakes/Four Heroes of Light. The abstract style worked on the DS & 3DS but I agree, it's starting to show its limits. I think they should try to move towards something more reminiscent of FF7-10. I also want ATB battles instead of FF1-3 multi-hit turn-based battles.
Did I infer someone was forcing me to keep it? Maybe I'm hesitant in hopes of some sort of announcement of something I want to play? Maybe I'm hesitant because I enjoy the hardware and WANT to keep it.
Don't see why you're up in arms about anything I said.
But the Brave/Default turn-based battle system was one of the most well-liked things about the 3DS games (in combination with the job system). And it's also literally the name of the game.
I am not up in arms but I still don't get what your personal problem with switch's library has to do with this partner direct thread.
Edit: I now see my inital commentsounded harsher than I intended. Didn't mean it in any antagonizing way

I just can't handle the chibi design of Bravely Default 2, especially after Octopath. I know many people won't mind it but it just looks so ugly to me.
I think the issue is combining very detailed textures with SD designs. It just looks odd like that. They should just have gone with full sized characters. I don't think the battles or anything else need to change though (well, I haven't played the demo, I'm just going by the previous games and this trailer). They just need to get rid of the SD characters.
Does anyone know anything about this Tropico series shown in the NA Direct? Looked kind of interesting
Fuck that. Square enix are finally making proper turn based games again, don't gimp them by going down the same crap path FF did.
I played both bravely games on the 3DS, and I don't know, this just doesn't seem like an evolution from that. On 3DS the game felt like playing through book illustrations or something (best I can find as a comparison). In here, the backgrounds look like an evolution, but then the characters and monsters have this extremely realistic detailed look to them texture wise next to the models with the strange porportions.
I don't know, maybe they could have gone with cel shading, or a more abstract way of texturing things to make everything fit together better.
I only played the demo of BD1 so I'm not an expert, but don't you think the Brave/Default system could be adapted to ATB? It's just a method of stock piling actions until a later point, right? I don't see how that's incompatible. Anyway, the ATB thing is just my preference, I think it's more fun that true turn-based and I'm desperate for something to take up ATB gameplay now that FF is going full action.
Agreed.
Like I said above, I'm more of a fan of the FF4-9 & 12-style gameplay than I am of FF1-3. I love 10, but it's different beast. When I think of classic FF, I think of ATB.
It's a city/economy management simulator set on a tropical island. Basically a Fidel Castro Simulator.
So, to give a rundown of what we got:
-We got Bravely Default 2 (with cringe voice-acting, at least in the trailer; looked great though; out on 2/26/2021)
-Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town (basically some sim where you build your own town)
-Paradox's Age of Empires-like game called Surviving The Aftermath.
-Immortals Fenyx Rising (Ubisoft's open-world game; looks alright, in my estimation, on the Switch; comes December 3, 2020)
-Bakugan: Champions of Vestoria is still... Bakugan; can't say I'm interested.
-Griftlands (Indie deck-building Rogue-like being ported)
-Tropico 6 (you can steal world monuments apparently)
-Hitman III is getting a "Cloud Version" of the game for the Nintendo Switch and it looks no different than its other versions so maybe that's a good sign...
-Control (IGN's GOTY) is also getting a "Cloud Version;" requires persistent high-speed Internet according to the trailer, so we'll see how that goes
-No More Heroes III with another trailer
-...Which leads to a reveal of No More Heroes I and No More Heroes II being ported to the Nintendo Switch.
-Part Time UFO is an eShop title and looks pretty fun; out now
-Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity getting a demo that's out right now; apparently, you can control Divine Beasts in the game and it looks pretty awesome.
Aaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnd that's about it!
Anything I missed?
Also, from JP Direct:
Thanks AcademicSaucer

lol I think this is the original Harvest Moon team, so it's basically Harvest Moon But We're Not Allowed To Call It Harvest Moon
!!! Trains?!
Because its more games I'm not a fan of. Disappointing showcase for me, and these were the initial thoughts after seeing it.
Not sure how that wasnt obvious.
japan had a few announcements that were not in the western direct
That's right up my alley. Have you played them? Worth looking into?
