of course for the true Minecraft experience, you have to play the WIndows 10/Xbox/Mobile cross play versions. They can't even be bothered to make PS4 Minecraft cross compatible with Vita outside of one way map exports.

The Minecraft console versions all have a smaller player limit. Still a really fun game and worth playing on all platforms.

Does anyone know yet how much card space Minecraft Switch takes up? I still have the default memory in mine, and if Minecraft takes up a lot of space then I will probably wait for the cartridge version.

Other console releases of minecraft are less than 3 gigs with all the updates I believe? So less than that for the switch.

I assume they're referring to the fact that it's an arcade port and not one of the newer ports on other consoles with netplay and some additional features.

I'm ten gold coins shy of the discount on Tokyo Mirage Sessions. Any cheap Wii U/Switch games worth picking up? Is Blaster Master Zero any good? EDIT: Also, if I use gold coins to get a discount on something do I then get gold coins for the discounted purchase I made? If so, is it gold coins based off how much I paid or what the original price was?

It's a remake that fixes basically every issue the original had. There's also some free DLC for it for a new character that stops being free after today so make sure to grab that too.

Thanks everyone! On the way to the purchase screen I noticed it had a demo so I tried it out first. Unfortunately ended up not really caring for how it felt to play so I bought Ogre Battle 64 on Wii U VC instead.

Thanks for posting this because I'd been playing it offline and didn't even know there was DLC, or a patch required to enable it.

You can also download it even if you don't have the full game yet so if you're waiting for a sale or whatnot, I'd still grab it.

Also chiming in for the thanks. I had no idea whatsoever that the DLC character existed, let alone was a timed free download.

Oh wow, the new difficulty mode for Blaster Master 0 looks awesome. The game was very easy beforehand, but the new difficulty looks brutal. I really wanted a hard mode after beating it the first time and this is far beyond what I thought they would do.quote:In the Destroyer Mode, you need to choose the right gun level to kill enemies, otherwise you won’t deal any damage at all… you cannot simply stick with the highest level available to you and call it a day. What’s more, the Energy Guard item has absolutely no effect in that mode! Same for Life Up items, who simply do not work either.

I was looking forward to Destroyer Mode but the "rebalanced" top-down sections are just annoying, frankly.

Be aware it's only the new copies. I'm not sure if it's the standalone or collector's editions, I'm going by the OzBargain listing and they've delisted it from the website. The pre-owned ones are still like $49.

Since it's a dead console, I'll ask it here. Is Xenoblade Chronicles X just a bunch of grinding and micro-managing skills? I've played about 5-8 hours of it and it's just not clicking with me.
