Probably to distance themselves further from the Wii and Wii U experiences.

I hope the eventual themes will at least support music like on 3DS.

I'm a vtuber expert
Saw the chat about XBX and I have to weigh in.

I put 100 hours into the original Xenoblade and completed it almost 100%. I put over 100 hours into XBX and I'm still on the chapter where you get the flying skell. I did love running around the world, and the on foot combat is good, and I like some of the music but I didn't like the character designs, or the overall story, or the way the game is structured.

It has its moments though, like how some side quests deal with the problems that arise when 7 or 8 different alien races all have to live in one city. But that stuff is all on the side, the main story is kinda lame.

Hopefully Xenoblade 2 is better. It at least looks like they're going back to Xenoblade 1 style.

edit: also I bought Brink for $60.

I don't know what it's like now, but if it's still like it was a couple years ago, getting games onto a console is literally exponentially more expensive than it is to get one on Steam or iOS/Android, even for pure digital releases.

And that's before any per-console restrictions on/cuts of in-app purchases.

There's a ton of F2P games on consoles now. I just checked the PSN store website and PS4's F2P option has 50 different games.

There's been a few on Nintendo consoles too. Those 3 Pokémon games on 3DS come to mind.

Bomberman has a co-op adventure mode. Blaster Master Zero has a copilot mode. Shovel Knight you can co-op. Minecraft of course.

Well I have a 1 1/2 year old and a wife with me, so it's not like a 20 hour stretch of games. Probably a nice little 5 or so hour window on the long flight for games.

Not really creepy at all. I thought it was before but I was confusing it with another game in the series, Pirate's Curse. 1/2 Genie Hero cheesecake goes about as far as a Saturday morning cartoon import. There's a mermaid giant boss with big boobs, that's about the extent of it.

Pirates Curse is no worse in that regard than 1/2 Genie Hero though? It might be better since there's no huge booby boss.

Shantae games (as games) are good.

The tongue in cheek gratuitous boobery will amuse some, bother others, and trigger virtue signaling in still others. It's whatever.



Edit: I'm not sure I'd play it on a bus or in front of my mom or whatever because it's p. skeevy at first glance, but it's a good game is what I'm saying

Pirates curse is full of stuff like an entire section where the entire cast is put in lingerie with lots of dialogue so you see the zoomed in art as much as possible, puzzles where you have to cover young bikini girls in water so their shiny bodies open up a secret passage, every character making constant double entendre at every other character.

1/2 Genie Hero is more or less completely chaste. One guy character drools over an npc in the first five minutes. The attire of Shantae is her standard kind of Barbara Eden genie garb, and said mermaid boss is not out of the norm for every mermaid ever. Probably tamer than a mermaid you'd find in, say, Castlevania. The core of the game is turning into cute animals to reach new areas.

You actually cover them in monster drool, they just think it's water.

Just accept the booby platformer.

Otherwise just play Zelda.
