I called that as soon as it was delayed, not gonna lie. At most, a cross-gen release like Breath of the Wild (Or Twilight Princess). I think the one thing I didn't predict was that the Switch 2 would drop eight years after the Switch, not the usual six years

Ys is generally pretty disconnected - Aside from Ys I and II, which are bundled together anyways, Ys Origin, which is a prequel, and Ys IX, which is very continuity heavy - So it depends on how much time you have. Ys VIII was my starting point and I adored it, but that's a 40-60 hour game so...

Ever since Triple Deluxe (Or arguably even the 20th Anniversary Collection), Kirby had a consistent 2-year release schedule, only being broken for Forgotten Land (And that was a whole new gameplay style on top of COVID screwing with development and release schedules). And even if it's not...

Honestly? A Trails rep sounds more realistic. Falcom throws out a new Trails almost yearly, only taking a break every three-ish years for Ys. Which I guess makes sense, seeing as Ys always has new environments and enemies and designs and all that, whereas Trails gets to reuse models a lot...

I personally want Adol so that obviously means he's a lock

I can't wait for Classic Adol specifically. And also Classic Alm. Because of Reasons. I swear that's just his armor please don't report my account-

My personal hot take is that I'd rather have the Fire Emblem Lords as a whole go back to the retro anime-style they had back in Melee; Or at least the earlier ones, the newer Lords can keep the newer anime style their games have. It's a really neat look that I feel stands out more than the...

I never got my absolute most wanteds, but I seem to remember all my reactions were "Oh hey, these guys look pretty cool." I was a pretty casual gamer at the time and SSBU was what got me into a lot of different game series, so there wasn't that much variation in my reactions truth be told

I think part of it might also be a bit of speculation fatigue, at least on the SmashBoards side of things. After multiple years of DLC speculation, including the mid-pandemic "nothing is happening" period, we were finally approaching the end, so everyone was kinda tired out. Though, part of it...

Hero's RNG is hilarious and a blast for casual games with friends, but it's also an absolutely bizarre decision when Dragon Quest isn't nearly that random. Last I checked, I'm pretty sure your command menu doesn't change itself every turn. In hindsight, it kinda feels like making them gimmicky...

I like unlocking things, but Ultimate's process took a good long while and the limited, random rematches made things a pain in the ass if you failed to beat them the first time. There could at least be more specific, easier to manage criteria than just playing the game for hours of running...

I used to watch a lot of Digimon as a kid and then faded out of it. That said I distinctly remember MetalGreymon was humongous so let's have MetaGreymon specifically, he's the size of Giga Bowser, have fun suckers

Something stylized like PMD would be great. Photorealism never interested me, still doesn't. I don't need Smash to completely redo the animation style and framerate and all that, like with Guilty Gear or Hi-Fi Rush, but in general stylized, painted/cel-shaded graphics have kinda become a big...

Regarding this bit, I dunno, Nintendo consistently puts out regular releases, whereas Sony and Xbox only have a small handful of exclusives to bank on. Hell, Sony just doesn't have a major release to put out this year, short of more remasters. And we know that Ratchet and Clank lost money...

To be fair PlayStation and Xbox are also infamous for Not Having Games, and they're getting a ton of flack for recycling the same titles again and again. Nintendo also just... Doesn't hop on big industry trends all the time; They make smaller budgeted titles, don't bank on having the highest...
