This one's for @Glen-i! £17.99 on our trusty old UK eShop. I still need to go back and check the base game out

Well, at least we learned from Aonuma that we'll be getting more information on this later in the year during today's Direct. Hope is not totally lost in my mind, though, because I don't think they'd be preparing to reveal more this year (and share that with us so early in the year too) if they weren't at least aiming for a 2021 release...but whether or not that comes to pass, well, we'll see.

Yeah, I think you're right, it's probably a translation error. Also, around £30 each in Japan?! Man, they might be getting that collector's edition, but Japan is getting fleeced! Only other alternative I can really think of is that they originally had them available separately here too but decided a bundle might be best, just given how graphic novels generally perform much better in Japan than they do in the West? But that seems like a stretch I feel. Oh well, bit of a shame it's so high, I feel like it might put a good few people off (myself included) from picking it up at launch. Hopefully it'll be included in a sale later in the year!

Oh yeah, you're totally right, forgot about that! Guess hearing about Galaxy of Heroes for so long threw me off

Yikes, yeah, that's higher than I was expecting too, guess I'll be adding it to the wish list for now and hoping for a sale at some point. I was thinking maybe £19.99 each or £29.99 for both? Also, been left a little confused by the trailer, which clearly when showing the logos of the games at the end says 'Games sold separately', but I can only find them on the eShop bundled together? Small mistake I guess, but weird that wasn't picked up on by someone.

Maybe I missed this in the Direct somewhere? But it's also coming to Android and iOS... ...which does lower my interest quite substantially, as if it being only on Switch wouldn't have already (for me personally I just don't have many friends with the system, so it would be hard for me to get excited for it anyway). I could be totally wrong here and maybe this is being done in partnership between EA, Zynga, and naturalmotion, but no EA logo or mention of them in the small print is a strange one, and no mention about it on EA's Twitter either. Weird.

Demo is already up and ready for download from the first page of the eShop for those interested! Think I'll be giving this a spin tomorrow afternoon after work. Still haven't played Octopath Traveler, because although the music is great, I've just heard middling things about it, and given its length, there are quite a few other JRPG's and longer games I've prioritised getting to. Also, this is totally just going to end up being called Triangle Strategy, isn't it?

They're taking forever to put the English trailer up so I can't update the original post, typical S-E I'm pretty interested in this. Not something I'd commit to being there Day 1 for - we'll see what else lands around then, or if there's something else I'm in the mood for at that time - but it's certainly on my radar now. Crazy though that we've had not one, but two Mana remakes, and still not much for S-E's bigger franchises. Smaller undertaking I guess, but still, a bit odd. Visually, that's the kind of treatment I'd be okay with for an FF Collection. Would much prefer the original sprites, but what constitutes the best version for those games isn't necessarily their original release.

Once more unto the ink, dear friends, once more.

Splatoon 2 DLC expansion they hinted at during the New Year celebrations that I've read too much about for someone who doesn't play Splatoon? Oh wow they're just going straight to 3. Alrighty then!

Joy-Cons. Oh. Oh no... Woooo new button layout for controller play

Well, it's happening! Can be played through motion controls with Joy-Cons or on a controller with a new button layout. Joy-Cons landing the same day.

Hell yeah. So interested to hear more about how they've translated this to the Switch!

Aonuma shooting down BOTW2 immediately is hilarious

Wait, this isn't Republic Commando... ...and I swear that's the Fortnite font.

Announced during the Direct, HD-2D, Final Fantasy Tactics/Tactics Ogre-looking SRPG. Debut Demo available today!

DEMO TODAY! AAAAAAAAH

Maaaaaajor Final Fantasy Tactics look to it too. Of course S-E would rather make something new rather than just port that, not that I'm complaining...

Oooooooo more 2D-HD stuff, count my interest piqued S-E!

Huh, Miitopia? Figured they wanted to get distance between the Wii / Wii U by avoiding Mii stuff, so I'm pretty surprised by this, but good for them. Wii Sports stock is rising...

Well, it's not the Final Fantasy Collection...but similar wheelhouse I guess you're getting closer, Square!

I didn't notice it but you're right! Weird...Sonic Mania 2? Yeah thought it looked pretty interesting, super intrigued by it!

Hahahahaha that fakeout the effort they put into making you think that was DLC is insane!
