[gonintendo.com]Xenoblade Future Connected accolades trailer gonintendo.com media

Strange that this is 'news'.  Isn't the Future Connected bit included in the Remaster?  I'm currently on the end stretch of Xenoblade Chronicles.  I'll probably take some time off and play something else before returning to the new content

its an accolades trailer for a released game. Its not the first time trailers like this have been in the updates. Particularly for people who haven't played the new stuff and haven't bought the game yet.

Did anyone else watch the Nindie Direct?  Personally there was little there to excite me.  A lot of ports of games I've already not bought before on Xbone or PC.

I find myself in a strange situation where I welcome shorter games, yet often feel reluctant to buy indie games out of fear that they'll be a bit crap and I won't like them...

edit: also, when you can buy the Witcher 2, a 40 hour+ game for €4.50, it kind of skews the value proposition of a 40 minute game.  Especially since I'm not even buying the Witcher 2.  Nyaa

Bear and Breakfast was kind of exciting. I mean, you're a bear and you're trying to build a bed and breakfast. That's genius.

Wouldn't work as well on Switch's pint sized screen.

Beer and Breakfast? LOL

Anyway yeah I saw Nindie Direct and nothing particularly interested me there. Wish they’d hurry up and start announcing some of the big stuff like Mario Anniversary, etc. This whole drip feed from all three companies has been frustratingly annoying this year.

This really has been a bizarre year in gaming, and I don't think you can even blame it all on COVID. Just even looking at the recent stuff...

Sony and Microsoft are still playing chicken with their pricing for their new systems. They're 3 months away from launch and they still haven't said a word.

100 days out from the kickoff of holiday shopping season, and Nintendo has nothing big announced. And most everything that's floating around out there is a remake. Skyward sword remake, collection of Mario games, Pikmin 3.

And Epic decided it was a wise idea to pick a fight with both Apple and Google at the same time.

The Nintendo thing is concerning.  There's nothing to be excited for.

I suspect Metroid Prime 4 was supposed to get the Holiday 2020 slot and that went out the window last year. Bayonetta 3 is also still floating somewhere out there, but since we haven't seen more than a teaser trailer, I doubt we'll see that either.

Then again who the hell really knows with Nintendo these days. They released the Origami King with maybe 2 months notice?

Origami King released 3 weeks after being revealed.

I smell a Kirby or Yoshi game coming up. Those typically show up out of nowhere.

I noticed that the Bulletstorm remaster is on sale on Xbox One for $4 and with the Duke Nukem content its $4.50 and that’s Canadian. Looks like I will be getting something from this sale after all.

That's a reminder that Kirby and the Rainbow Curse has yet to get a port. It was pretty reliant on a stylus though, so maybe it won't.

That's actually cheaper than when I got my copy of bullet storm for the PS3, and that was pretty damn dirt cheap at the time.  I've actually seen the PS4 version pretty cheap and I've been debating whether or not to pull the trigger on it. I'd love the game, but after that first playthrough I could never really get back into it again.

I watch the couple of video reviews for the Metro games they look a bit too opressive and difficult?

With how successful Animal Crossing is continuing to be, we'll never see a new Nintendo game again, as it will never stop selling like it's new!

It's definitely opressive. I don't think it's that hard if you play on the easier settings, but it's still a bit more difficult than the average FPS on normal, I suppose.

Yeah pretty hard to resist that. I really enjoyed it as well but was hesitant on picking it up again because I felt that the one play through was enough.

Well regardless I ended up buying it again. I even splurged and got the Duke Nukem Edition for $4.50. Living large baby!

I guess you can summarize it succintly in saying that it's definitely more opressive than Animal Crossing and Splatoon.
