Why?
Da fuq? Luigi’s Mansion was the best launch game of 2001. Yes, I realize Halo and RS 2 came out at the same time.
Oh you guys were serious about Animal Crossing and Luigi's Mansion...that's badass. I loved AC on the Gamecube. And Luigi.
Speaking of FF, I need to get back to World of Final Fantasy. I played about 5 hours of it awhile ago. It's really good but I keep forgetting about it.
I’m most excited for the Capcom Brawler Bundle and Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon! 😮

I love how Capcom have been making all these compilations of some of their classic franchises. I would love to see Konami do the same with some of their franchises like Castlevania, Contra, Gradius, etc.
How many years has it been since you played an Animal Crossing? I'd love to play the new one online with you, next year.
Fine with me. As a non-Playstation owner I never had the chance to play a lot of these FF games. Will be nice to see what the fuss is about. If it weren't for ports I never would have played Okami, or one of my favourite games ever, Bully. And WTF!! My favourite Capcom beat em ups coming to Switch in a bundle and out in a few days. Fricking awesome, but still need The Punisher and Cadillacs and Dinosaurs.
Also the new Gamefreak RPG Town looks great. That was a pretty awesome N.Direct, better than their E3 stuff. I want to see proper Animal Crossing gameplay footage though.
Also the online app is adding in voice chat for Arms, MK8, Splatoon 2, Mario Tennish aces and more and there is Online account exclusives, like those NES controllers. I wont buy them, but I would bite for a SNES one.
Agreed.
Also, Splatoon 4.0 looks awesome.
Update downloading now.
Watched the Pocket edition FF port trailer. WTF? They can't even do lip synching? The mouths do not even move. Looks weird as heck.
Wow. Nintendo is really milking this Splatoon thing aren’t they. Already 4 games out now for it.
So many games, you would have thought you would have bought one of them.
Switch seems to be getting a lot of quickfire ports of old games I never tried. Some of the names sound familiar to me, but I honestly haven't read much about them before. What are Bastion and Gone Home like?
Touché.
Well played good sir, well played.
Bastion is made by Greg Kasavin. That's all I know about it.
Did you guys see the memo 2K sent out asking people to beg the Belgian government to allow loot boxes?
And EA is straight out refusing to take them out of Fifa. Scumbags.
Do not get Gone Home unless it is super, super cheap or free. It’s a good game but there’s like two and half hours of gameplay at the max.
