Modern Video Games / Re: The Nintendo Switch Discussion

Preorder hell. Ah fun, I'm on a call list at my local Gamestop because I live in the boonies with no where else to turn that doesn't require you to pay in full upfront. For once can't Nintendo put out enough of something? Did put a deposit on Breathe of the Wild at least.

Just my asshole opinion from observing my Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. I think there's a lot of demand. There's a bunch of preorders out there.  It would be shooting themselves in the foot to not have plenty of consoles to go around.

The haters are hating big.  That's a good indicator that it could be big. I'm in 100%. Mine is preordered.

It seems, since the PS2 launch, that "selling out" of your first run of pre-ordered consoles, is just a thing they do now, to help hype the system more.

True, but damn it's rough how stores are doing it these days(didn't expect this kinda hype after Wii U flopped.). I kinda hate how most stores you can only order it usually if you go online because they sell out online so fast and few reserve store copies. Luckily, I found out if you go in store at Walmart they're taking in store pre-orders until they sell out so I ordered in store. I deposited down on on system and at Gamestop I have down on a copy of Breathe of the Wild now. Online where you have to pay full price is something I just can't afford right now *shrugs*. I'm just hopefully Nintendo can ramp up production in order to keep flow of the consoles after launch. I remember people having trouble getting many a Nintendo release for weeks after the release date.

As one of the few who adopted the dying Wii U I'm way too dedicated to Nintendo, but I will definitely pick one up as soon as I can afford it. Trying to talk the S.O. into splitting some costs heheh. My must buy titles are:

Splatoon 2
Puyo Tetris
Story of Seasons (Wow, I was starting to think I might never see another Bokujou Monogatari on console.)
Breathe of the wild
Mario Odyssey
and Fire Emblem Warriors
Gods and if Mother 3 actually comes out in English I'll buy that right up. Also, if there really is No More Heroes 3 I want that too.

I am quite fond of the designs and features so far, I just hope online isn't too pricey and covers all players on the console. I'd be upset if S.O. and I need separate subscriptions at some ludicrous $10 a month. I also wish 1,2 switch were a pack in like most gamers.

I got myself a SFC with Super Mario World, S.O. got me The Last Guardian, Dad gave me a slim PS4 and World of Final Fantasy, Mom gave $70 worth of PSN cards for when Hatsune Miku Future Tone releases. I used extra psn monies to pick up Touhou Scarlet Curiosity because S.O. is a Touhou Fanboy.

Thanks, some of these games I've looked at so far look great and I'll start adding them to my list. The channel is very useful too.

The World Ends With You is a bit of a statement on Shibuya shopping district and the attitudes prevalent there. The map area is quite an accurate recreation of the area.

Persona games are great. Even if people say to play 4 and then 3 the games stand alone well enough that you can start where you want so don't shy away from 5 when it releases. Other Shin Megami Tensei games also often  seem to take place in modern Japan and they play a lot on Japanese Mythology and of Mythologies. Devil Survivor, takes place in Japan during an apocalypse if I remember correctly.

Classic Video Games / SFC game reccomendations

I can't find many of these lists and most include only text light games which isn't too concerning to me since I study Japanese and need to practice reading more anyway. I just bought a SFC for Christmas and it came with Super Mario World, but obviously one game does not a collection make. On my list thus far are Bokujou Monogatari, Actraiser, Mother 2, and Puyo Puyo.

What are some great SFC games be they text heavy or not? Bonus point for anime styled games, I'm quite fond of those.
