Yeah, I give it a 6. It was mostly games we knew about. No new exciting games imo.

They just forgot the best announcement in the list:

Console Archives: Monster Rancher Hop A Bout



 

 

We reap what we sow

6/10 from me too.

Mostly stuff we already knew about, but nice to get some release dates and footage for a lot of stuff that was announced but not really detailed before.

If nothing else, this year is looking like it'll have a bigger third party lineup than any year of Switch 1.



FF7 Rebirth, The Adventure of Elliot and maybe Valheim look interesting.  I don't own any current gen system though.  There are a few games on current systems I want to play eventually, but nothing that makes me feel I need a current system right now.  At this point I think I'm going to focus on Switch 1 games and retro gaming until they announce the PS6.  Then I'll decide if I want a PS5, PS6, Switch 2, or maybe go the PC route.



Good to see the ol' Switch 1 still getting support with stuff like Digimon Time Strangers, Kyoto Xanadu, Captain Tsubasa, and Paranormasight.

Far cry from when Nintendo consoles would run dry before they were even replaced.

So even with 2 systems playing locally, the screen remains splited? Is that the same with It takes 2 and Split Fiction?

Yeah I thought this was strange. I suppose it does make sense though...



Turok returning to Nintendo after a quarter of a century is a cool moment, given that the first three were iconic N64 titles.

Also, I'm gonna be flat out in May/June with Indiana Jones, 007 First Light, FF7 Rebirth, and Adventures of Elliot all releasing in quick succession.

Nintendo really seem to be positioning Switch 2 as more of a "this console is for third party games too" thing compared to Switch 1, with a lot of their social media marketing spotlighting stuff like RE Requiem and FF7.

No, it isnt the same.  When playing 2 or split on separate systems, the screen is full single player.

Can't really ignore the second best selling console of all time. Especially since the Switch 2 is BC with it anyway.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Come join The 2018 Obscure Game Monthly Review Thread.

Skipped it. I don't do the clip show reels.
Give me a Direct that actually focuses in on the gameplay experience. These sorts of Directs offer nothing we won't see in release trailers when these games actually become relevant.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
