I mean it is Christmas season coming up, I would think Nintendo would want to pull out their big guns...oh well.

They're not all my sort of thing, but I thought their holiday lineup had at least something for someone:

October:
Super Mario Odyssey
Fire Emblem Warriors
Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions
Etrian Odyssey V

November:
Pokemon Ultra
Pokeball N2DSXL
Mario Party The Top 100
Snipperclips Plus
Skyrim

December:
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Doom

This doesn't include all the downloadable/indie items coming this fall as well. Some of those looked neat.

If anything, I did agree that it was a bit heavy on showcasing RPGs (and I love RPGs), but really, did they have to spend so much time on Xenoblade Chronicles 2? I honestly skipped it because it got too in-depth with mechanics and story, and I personally like to learn that stuff over time or while playing. Also, having not played the first game yet, I was concerned about spoilers.

I'll give you Super Mario Odyssey (which I mentioned), and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. And (begrudgingly) Pokemon Ultra, I'm just not a Pokemon fan. But the rest of those I'd consider smaller releases, or are available on other consoles already.

I mean, the biggest deal from this seemed to be Doom, which already came out last year. (Skyrim is like 5 years ago.)

Oh, for sure, I agree that I want actual new, exclusive games. I'm tired of rehashes and ports and such. I like them, but I'd also like to see more risk-taking even though it's still early for the console and technically their first holiday season. They're still having trouble getting enough systems physically into stores  ::)

I'm neutral about Pokemon but I do hate feeling like I'm punished if I buy the first version of a game just to find out that they'll do a "plus" version with stuff not found in the original.

Despite what you think.

I think Fire Emblem Warriors and Snipperclips Plus are going to be amazing and I certainly look forward to them.

I'm really glad they're making a physical version of Snipperclips and, even though my bf already owns a digital copy of the original, we'll definitely be picking up the physical plus version!

Same.  I've been a big fan of the Super Flash Bros. for a long time, so I'm glad to double dip on this.

Blah. First world dilemma.

When Play Asia first announced Ys Origins, I pre-ordered the Vita version. This was months and months ago, so when I saw a charge on my bank statement from "Asia Entertainment" I called my bank to have it removed. It didn't click that I ordered Ys Origins until later. So, I ordered another copy. But, I wasn't paying attention and got the PlayStation 4 version.

I have to either pay for the shipping price to have it returned or just bite the bullet and order a new copy. Either way, that's an extra expense. *dramatic sigh*

I was looking to buy the Asian version of Ys Origins on PS4 at some point, would you consider selling it? :) Or were you thinking of doing an exchange of PS4 for Vita?

I tried my best to follow along with them when they were talking about the sword mechanics for Xenoblade 2, totally got lost haha.

I avoid a lot of the previews companies/devs do with their games these days. It seems they give away most of the game just in preview videos, I want to have some suprise enjoyment when I first play it, ya know?

"FaceWorld"? makes absolutely no sense... obviously there is only "SpaceBook" and "MyFace".

Book of Faces would sound very Game of Thrones-ish!

Hehe. Face World is a fun one.

I also use Facey-Face, Face Space, and one more that isn't very appropriate so I'll abstain from writing it.
