Shorty

@Phube for the love of... rehost your sig already :p Honestly, I am just so happy there's no gimmick. Even you were telling me 2 hours ago to prepare for something "quirky", and I don't think this fits that. It looks smart, modern and definitely has a broad appeal. Even though I won't use it half as many of the ways that video showed it off, I still want one. And, it feels like a sign that they're realising they can have their unique footprint without being tacky.

I don't think so, these games are huge with Indie devs, we still see plenty of them on consoles after all. I think if this replaces the 3DS, there won't be full-price titles that fit that niche anymore though.

Not really, I know that the people here still want Nintendo games. I know that Daft has had a similar feeling to me about the Wii U but was as hyped as me for the Switch immediately. Just seems like a big leap back in the right direction here. It's gimmick free. These days that's the best thing I can say about any Nintendo announcement.

Gold rings in the second shot, clearly a Sonic Adventure crossover.

Because Japan. Take English words, shorten them, hey-presto, maybe say them twice, you have a trademark. I dunno that first area looked barren af :p I imagine they just about squeezed that footage out.

I'm surprised by the apprehensive responses. I'm one of the biggest Nintendo cynics and I want this, bad.

I mean we have been doing a lot of DPS. Always combining WoL with Shadowshot, the scorch cannons do 100k plus with that combo and Black Spindle was doing 30k per headshot and my LL was relatively low (382-383).

Not so sure this should be a worry. I mean this is an inherent function that just works. It's not a gimmick like offscreen or dual screen play, switching between the two will only ever be a playstyle option, never a feature. So, logically, once the architecture is in place, the focus should be on everything else.

Here's an image resized and hosted on N-E so hopefully it won't go down like the Switch site has (click for huge)

Honestly I think it looks fantastic. And not quirky or weird, smart, well made, quality. It's what EG said it would be (see), and more.

Don't care what it is, only care that it's not stupid and has good games. Twitch in one tab, Nintendo youtube videos by date in another tab, Nintendo UK in the third tab, if all else fails come back here and shout at you lot.

I like the tone and direction the trailer hints at, but can't help assuming they'll fuck it up in the third act with a samurai robot or broken deadpool.

Seeing a new Mario is one thing. Seeing the new Mario be New Super Mario Bros. NX is something else entirely.

Keep up! I've realised I don't care what this system is. Don't care if it's 3D, 4k, backwards compatible. Portable, home console, hybrid. Online, offline, New Wii U. VR, AR, Dreamcast 2. I only want to see my favourite games come back.

That's true, I forgot we've been doing the monitors every time. A bit of afk time too. I have used the sword on the captains but not Aksis, tbh I'm running out of exotic shards to keep my LL up!

Most of us have Outbreak Prime or the quest to do it (the main obstacle there was, we didn't play with 2 of each class type). Not everyone was 385 (I'm still not), and a few people wanted another shot at the NM gear for the shader, or to get our level up a bit to make HM smoother. I think we can manage HM though. I'll try and get an artifact before we start. Edit: funny that you say a raid takes 2 hours with all those problems, we've never done it that fast even if we do every boss in one go.

I'm inclined to believe Tphi that Mario NX will be there, either that or Eurogamer is going to have been wrong about everything to date and very embarrassed.

@Eddage changed it to 12pm @Agent Gibbs doubt anyone else in the N-E clan has tried HM

Ok cool! Initial proposal then Wrath of the Machine: Heroic Mode Saturday 22/10 12:00 1. Shorty 2. Sheikah 3. Eddage 4. Zell 5. space 6. space Remaining priority to the team that cracked NM together: @Map @DriftKaiser Edit: if signing up, please also mention your availability on Sunday and whether you could start even earlier Saturday (eg 11am, because we might have to split across the days)

Our pleasure mate, you picked up every part of it very quickly, we flew through it. Definitely helped upping our LL a bit. I'm ready for Heroic difficulty! Saturday afternoon would be my perfect timeslot, or an early start Sunday.

Not tonight, 3pm unless I'm misreading.

Is anyone else unreasonably disappointed that the statue has "Sonic Mania" splashed on it. I wonder if that's a sticker you can just peel off... without it, it would be the perfect Sonic statue to remember the Mega Drive era. Even though I've stopped putting up figures and collectibles, that's one I'd happily display.

I like any strike unless the boss matches the burn >.> The new strike with void burn is insane, the boss can take you out in a split second. Which wouldn't be so bad if randos didn't constantly prioritise rezing you over surviving.

Well, don't click that then whatever you do!

English footage and an interview with the English protagonist VA are up on Youtube, I'll let you find them here: https://www.youtube.com/user/AtlusUSA/videos Getting the email about these prompted me to check gaf to see how P5 has gone down. Seen quotes like this. The only real negatives are some people saying the endgame is comparatively (to its own strong start) weak and it feels like they're holding out for a P4G type re-release with a new ending.
