Was there any news of Shin Megami for Switch at E3?

I legitimately haven't watched a single video from E3 this year.

Without knowing anything about anything, I'd have to pick:

Ori and the Will of the Wisps

Super Smash Bros Ultimate

Mega Man 11

The Last of Us Part 2

Ghost of Tsushima

1. Sakuna, of Rice and Ruin, looks amazing. Put that one on the most anticipated game list. I am now anticipating it. Mostly.

2. No word about SMT V. The only thing remotely connected to the series mentioned at E3 was the new mobile game. I'm beta testing it now as a matter of fact. Too early to give you feedback on it though.

I am not at all impressed by Kingdom Hearts 3 anymore. Babylon's Fall has got my attention. Battletoads and the Cuphead DLC are my cup of tea too!  Nyaa

I could have said Spiderman and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, too, but those are pretty much a given.

Its not so much Minecraft that I'm excited about, rather that cross plays being promoted as such a big deal. Just makes me wonder if this is how it will be going forward, or if we might actually see a little more cooperation between Nintendo and Microsoft. At this stage of the game, the two really don't compete too closely, so I could see something being done between the two of them

Metroid Prime 4 on Xbox confirmed!

Oh there was also an announcement of a Monster Hunter/Final Fantasy Online crossover. So there's that.

I don't think they'll go that crazy, but I could see Master Chief ending up on Smash Bros. and maybe a Samus skin gets added to a future Halo game.

Completed the Octopath Traveler demo.

You can play for 3 hours as one character and then the save file can transfer across to the full game. But you can restart the demo as a different character (with a diferent location and story) and do another 3 hours in the demo. There are 8 characters so the demo effectively has 24 hrs worth of content Happy

I would love for SE to redo its older FF games with this engine and voice acting.

Godamn there is this level on Octo-expansion which is nigh on impossible. You have to defend an orb in the middle of the stage from oncoming waves of Octo attackers all with human like A.I.

This isn't like Salmon run, these guys are tough and they keep coming at a rate where you barely have time to recharge your ink. We are talking 4 or more at a time and every few seconds a new one jumps in. If it wasn't for the central orb you have to defend I could probably survive it. But having to fight multiple people whilst also having to turn your back on them to defend that fricking orb.... God DAMN. wtf??

Even in turf wars you only have 4 enemies to watch out for and you have 3 team mates. Here you are all alone against multiple people, btw they also have the usual specials from the main game so one of them can suddenly start inkjetting you for one shot kills.

Learn their squid-jump (octo-jump?) patterns and be there when they touch down.

Monolith Soft's Tetsuya Takahashi reveals more on Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna - The Golden Country:

Monolith Soft Executive Director Tetsuya Takahashi shared some info with us about an upcoming additional scenario for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on Nintendo Switch.

Here's Mr Takahashi:

Hello, and thank you for your patience. This is the official announcement of Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna - The Golden Country, an additional scenario for Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

It all started three years ago. Torna - The Golden Country was a part of our original prototype for the main game. More accurately, I suppose you could say that it was one of the potential story candidates included in our initial prototype.

It’s been seven years since the release of Xenoblade Chronicles. We’ve accumulated quite a bit of production knowhow since then, and our process management has improved as well. Now we’re much better at knowing just how big of a game we can create at what level of quality based on a given volume of text.

After looking at a variety of factors, we could tell that including Torna - The Golden Country in the main game would divert a major portion of the budget and development time we had allotted for Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

We hadn’t shown anyone the prototype yet, and quickly decided against including this content, instead opting to take what we needed for the main game, which became the finished Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

For quite some time after that, Torna - The Golden Country slept on my computer’s hard drive, but when we decided to include a new scenario with the Expansion Pass, I knew that we had to revive Torna - The Golden Country and tell that story.

The story of Torna - The Golden Country covers not only the pasts of key characters from the main game like Jin, Mythra, Malos, and Praetor Amalthus, but will also spotlight characters like Lora and Addam, who factor heavily into the lore of Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

Ah, and you know that the main story in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is the story of Rex and Pyra (Mythra), but Torna - The Golden Country follows another set of main characters, Jin and Lora.

You’ll see what happened in Jin’s past, what kind of person Lora was, and even what the relationship was between Addam and Mythra.

There were bits and pieces of their stories throughout the main game, but they’ll finally take shape in front of your very eyes.

(The generic models used for some of the side characters in flashbacks in the main game will be given dedicated models.)



New adventures on a new map

The Tornan Titan will be added as a new field map in Torna - The Golden Country. A lot of other RPGs set their additional story sections on existing maps, but Torna - The Golden Country’s maps will be entirely new.

And in addition to the field map, we’ll add the capital city of Torna as a new town map. Given that these events take place 500 years ago, the playable areas in Torna - The Golden Country will be limited to Torna and the surrounding areas, but I’m sure you’ll still find these to be very rewarding to play.



Reworked battle system

Torna - The Golden Country is set in an era of history before Drivers and Blades had learned to co-operate seamlessly during battle, and so there will be a new battle system used in this expansion. The refined battle system will still be based on the one seen in the main game, but I hope you’ll enjoy this new take on it.



New music added

New songs have also been added to Torna - The Golden Country. They were composed by Mitsuda-san and some others who were involved with the main game.

The feel of the new music is a bit more grown up, in keeping with the more grown up tone of Torna - The Golden Country overall. They’re played mostly on acoustic instruments, and have a real groove to them, so I’m sure you’ll really enjoy them.

Torna - The Golden Country is an additional scenario that is scheduled for release on September 14 for anyone with Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and an Expansion Pass. And for those who have not yet played Xenoblade Chronicles 2, a stand-alone packaged version of Torna - The Golden Country will get a separate release on September 21.

As I mentioned earlier, the story of Torna - The Golden Country is set 500 years before the main game. So it’s possible that players will view the main game a little differently if they play Torna - The Golden Country first. This packaged version will also include a code to the other Expansion Pass content besides Torna - The Golden Country into the main game, making it a great option as an entry point for anyone interested in experiencing Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Torna - The Golden Country in the future.

We’ll still need a bit of time until it’s ready for release, but then you’ll get to enjoy all the new maps, new battles and the story of these new characters.

So it sounds like this Xenoblade 2 Torna thing can be viewed as a new game.

"And for those who have not yet played Xenoblade Chronicles 2, a stand-alone packaged version of Torna - The Golden Country will get a separate release on September 21."

Everything is new, you play on a new game map, a new Titan, there is new music, story and character models and it is getting a standalone retail release.

Shit, I remember when RE2 first came out, watching this cutscene and being totally blown away thinking "Wow, I bet on the Dreamcast and PS2 games will actually look this good". LOL

Funny how fast standards changed back then. Every 6 months something new would come out that would blow away what came before. Just in 1998, I mean this came out in January. Then Banjo Kazooie came out in May or June...amazing at the time. Half Life came out that summer I think? Then Ocarina of Time and Metal Gear Solid. Among other stuff.
