I've never been into MH games but i might take this one since the environment attracts me (till now).
However i'll wait to see what experienced players with this series think about Rise before deciding to either purchase it or not.

Anyway, i checked their Twitter and from what i have read, it seems that we are expecting more gameplay features during this week, aren't we?

The game's director did pop in to promise to share some info, these clips are probably part of that, as they show new techniques in action, as well as weapons that we hadn't seen in Rise yet.

Man Bravely Default 2 looks bad, honestly, what is up with the art style. In comparison to the first two (heh) where they were cutesy games putting chibi art styles on painting-esque backdrops, the different components just don't mix. What worked about the aesthetics of the 3DS games where how they kind of acknowledged the characters as if they were tiny actors on a small stage. Now the proportions are not only much larger, but the characters look super plasticy and are juxtaposed on hyper-realistic environments and clothing models.

I really don't get it, man, it's like every lesson you could learn from aesthetic design with Bravely Default and Second Layer was written down, and then the team thought "let's do the exact opposite of this!"

Edit: Also wow that dub is fucking bad. 

Also, now with No More Heroes I and II, the Switch really is becoming the ultimate hack and slash, "character action" console. I realize they're just ports but, now we have 2/3 of the best DMC games, Bayonetta 1+2, and No More Heroes I and II, with Bayonetta 3 (presumably) and NMHIII coming too. Now all we need is a port of the Ninja Gaiden games, annnnnnnnnnd mayyyyyyyyyyybe DMCV but I could live without that.

I can't find any confirmation anywhere on whether Nintendo will be part of the VGAs online show this year.
I really hope they are, I'd give anything to see BOTW2 or Bayonetta 3.

Due to my lack of courage to play new games, I got 3D All-Stars, been a while since I replayed Sunshine and Galaxy.

64 is still endlessly fun and a nice pick up and play game, Sunshine butter smooth control and movement options still holds up years later, the setting and its secret levels still are a great combo, and Galaxy can still send some shivers down my spine, been listening to these soundtracks for years, but hearing Good Egg Galaxy in game hits differently. Fun times.

Tried the demo for Control on Switch. It was actually pretty consistent and I didn't notice any major lag or connection issues. It's not a game I imagine myself enjoying much so I don't intend to buy the full thing, but it was nice to see a cloud based game that functioned well on the Switch.

I also tried Control out of curiosity and it worked flawlessly. However, I will still prefer physical over digital if I have the option, so I won't comply to this streaming model anytime soon.

Dataminers discover Switch-specific code in Crash 4, making it even more likely a port is coming
