Just went through the first loop of Ghosts`n Goblins Resurrection. Really fun game. Very creative boss fights. Only played it on the second lowest difficulty, but still pretty tough.



Monster Hunter Rise has been confirmed to launch on PC early 2022.
What's the point in making that official one month before the switch release? either you do it from the beginning or you wait until the wave passes 6 months or more.
That's gonna affect the switch sales of the game drastically in the west.

That sounds silly to me. Like an excuse to make if the game doesn't sell as well on Switch in the west as the PS4 version of World. It doesn't really make much sense, I mean, a lot of people who are absolutely hellbent on not buying the game for Switch or not getting a Switch for the game probably already knew this was the case because of the leak that happened around Rise's announcement. Announcing the PC port before World's console release didn't create low sales for either console, either. 

Ultimately all the advantages the Switch has for third parties are still for Rise ON TOP of the game being made from the ground up for the platform (so the PC version will definitely look better but probably not by too much), and ON TOP of it being exclusive for probably nearly a year as opposed to a delayed port like a lot of AAA Switch releases. Frankly, the game was only told to be exclusive for 6 months, so I really doubt waiting 9-12 months is going to make western Switch sales bad. 



Pokemon Legends looks very interesting. Very rough, but very interesting. We'll have to see if it's any good.



Bravely Default II is out now:

The only silly thing i am seeing is how they could have said that one month before release. Certainly that won't affect japanese sales, but that will hold every one that intended to buy it after release.
Was Nintendo even consent with that? knowing they had supposedly paid for a timed exclusivity, Didn't they impose silence before release date? what kind of fuck off is this?

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
