Yeah 16 hours is long enough

I'd much rather play a 16-hour game that's good then a 40-hour game full of bullshit

I think people would've said Rabbids was short if it just wasn't the kind of infinitely replayable thing that XCOM is because the 2 have been compared so much.

The matter sword doesn't break, it goes dormant and recharges it's energy after five minutes. Powering it up through the dlc challenge doesn't give it infinite durability, but does greatly increase its durability and damage

That increased durability will mean you'll lose track of it easier, so now when it breaks/goes dormant/ becomes unusable at the worst possible moment, you won't even be expecting it.

The puzzle portions don't seem to be a part of the 'levels', but the 20 hours figure is for the entire story campaign, not including the optional content. There appear to be 18 coop levels so far, I haven't seen anything else about single player challenges outside of the story campaign.

I will be in California in three weeks - how is the Switch stock situation on US retailers like GameStop or even Wal-Mart? Can I just go to one and pick up a Switch easily, or is it still a wild goose chase?

Use http://www.istocknow.com/product/switch and call stores to see if they have them in stock. I picked one up at a Los Angeles Target the same morning I decided I wanted one that day but maybe I just got lucky

I'd be cautious about what to expect from the demo. Pokken is a cool/good/fun fighting game, but the demo on the Wii U was very barebones. It only had the tutorial, fight against CPUs (I think?), and a handful of playable characters with 1 or 2 assist sets. And we don't know anything about what the new demo will have. While I'd like to hope it'd have A. some of the new content and B. more features, I'm keeping my expectations low based on that history.

Edit: Oh okay, didn't know it's already up. Details are out now. It has only 3 characters (Pikachu, Charizard, Empoleon), 2 assist sets and it seems to have a Player vs Player mode, though no word if that's online or local. Has practice mode but no word if that's the tutorial or includes training mode. Still pretty lame

Edit: oh, no practice mode at all, just tutorial screens and tutorial pop up when you start, bleh

GameXplain just put a video of the demo up. It has Charizard, Pikachu and newcomer Empoleon playable. Like I said, you get the demo now from the JP eShop.

Yeah it looks like the pokken demo, once again, is barely anything in it at all. If you've never played Pokken before, use it to get a sort of idea of what the general mechanics are like but expect not to see much of the other characters.
