    I wonder if there will be a special/easter-egg ending if you complete each of the character's stories in an order that spells Octopath. Sure would be neat.

    Which O and which T do you do first?

    Alphabetic by next letter. Olberic->Ophilia, Therion->Tressa

    I think the Th makes more sense with the path part and Tr with oct part to match the sounds.

    I mean I was thinking about it .... again ... and it is technically a magician brawler ... or a as I like like to put it ... you brawling with magic yo. I mean it makes so much sense since the last time we paired two things that seemed diametrically opposed we got the Jedi. Space Samurai Wizards much.

    Huh, I had to clear space on my SD card so I could download Hyrule Warriors. I should pay more attention to how much I'm spending on games...

    I just bought a 200 gig SD card recently. That should pretty much solve my storage problems for the foreseeable future. Already pre-loaded Hyrule Warriors, ready to play it in 48 hours!

    Yup, you can double up on classes for each character, which is a neat idea.

    Wizard of Legend is fucking legit

    I suck and can't get past level 1-2, but the fast spell-slinging combat is great and the diversity of spells is fantastic as well. I think I might even double dip on PS4, it's that good.

    I only have one expectation for Star Fox Grand Prix, and that's that it won't just be Mario Kart or F-Zero with amputated space furries.

    Beyond that, sky's the limit.

    Either of those would be great, though.

    Sure, but that doesn't seem like Nintendo's style. More likely they'd just make another F-Zero if it were too much like that, and Mario Kart? Might scrap the whole thing unless it had a unique hook.

    Loads of sites are posting stuff about Pokemon Switch rumors, with Emily Rogers saying it will be revealed this month and some random dump claiming it'll be an odd cross between Pokemon Yellow and Pokemon Go.

    If true that would make a lot of sense, as Pokemon Go's still very popular and it was how loads of new people got into Pokemon.

    But hey, rumors. And the random dump got posted on April 1, to boot.

    Instant disregard on the Pokemon Yellow/Pokemon Go rumor. That makes 0 sense, except that it dropped April 1st.

    I really hope there are no similarities to Go in Pokemon Switch. Just make a game with the modern ORAS/SUMO conveniences and fancy Switch visuals, please!

    I personally wouldn't say no to Breath of the Wild Pokemon, but I'm not exactly going to be getting my hopes up for that.

    Gamefreak have said that they want their mainline Pokemon console debut to be something special (now that they know the Switch is, in fact, a success).

    People keep perceiving the Go stuff as central to how the game will function, but I figure at worst it probably just means transferring Pokemon or an optional battle mechanic for catching Pokemon. There's a weird train of thought that the fundamentals of Pokemon are changing, but I think that's overthinking what is, let's face it, very little information at present. I don't think they'll mess with mechanics to such an overwhelming degree.

  • UncleSporkyUncleSporky Registered User regular
    Yeah at this point it can be the SUMO engine with better graphics and that'd be perfectly awesome.

    I know a divergent game design like making it an MMO or full open world is everyone's dream, and that may happen someday, but as-is they've got a pretty good formula.

    And also I don't know if I have confidence in the dev team to go that far back to the drawing board and come out the door with a feature set as robust as what they've been building. An open world Pokemon would have to be like a BOTW team/Monolith Soft/Creatures Inc. joint venture.

    Though integrating even a more traditional-style Pokemon game with Pokemon Go somehow would be a fantastic idea to draw in all the new Pokefans that game generated.

    Oddly enough, the alleged Go mechanics seem to be the biggest source of consternation for the older Poke-fans. That and the perceived Gen 1 pandering from the dev... that complaint always loses me a little.

    I don't play Pokemon though. I'm just surfing the wave of leak season.

    Her track record's better than most, given corporate plans can change after the leaker hears the info. She was the one who revealed Paper Mario Color Splash and had advance info on Arms.

    Dangit...

    I know it's nothing concrete yet, but Pokemon Switch as a "Go" type of game would suck for me. I'm not interested in that (or an MMO/open-world type game).
