  • How does co-op works in a turn based game. Guess I need to watch some let's play or trailer.

  • Ah, yeah, Nintendo should push The Pokémon Company to release full games on cart, instead of going for GKC.

    Good luck for the testing season!

  • Slay and Sekiro the Spire 2!

    How are you liking them both? I am not a roguelite fan, but enjoyed my time with little bit of Slay the Spire I played. Haven't played Sekiro yet, but it's on my wishlist.

  • Thanks for the recommendation, will probably get it next week, as soon as I finish my current game.

    And thanks for the DM, made by day! But I think it's time to let this ancient tradition rest

  • Oh, Kevin is the one from Trails in the Sky SC? I didn't finish the game but I played a bit of it and remember the guy, he was a pretty interesting character.

    If the SC remake is coming out this year, going to start the series again with the Sky remake.

  • Ah, makes sense. I am the opposite, don't like horror, which is why I liked RE 5 more (never played 6 or any after that). Thinking about trying the remakes, let's see how it goes.

  • With all this, will you recommend Pokopia to someone looking for a cozy farm sim? And is it worth $330 for you? (Also, I heard there's a very sacred ancient tradition that if you buy multiple copies of a game, you should buy an extra copy and gift it to your lemmy community admin... just sharing for reference...)

    Hehe, I can understand the crushed dream parts, my wife isn't much of a gamer so I have experienced that a few times.

  • From what I recall hearing about Visions of Mana was that it's a good game, but not a great game. Though haven't played it myself yet.

    Wow, congratulations on beating Arch-Tempered Arkveld! I also play solo, though my reasoning is that I am not a good player, and don't like dragging down my team, also don't like being carried, you don't get to enjoy the game properly. So, solo works well. At least as far as I can go 😀

    You are making me miss Fallout! Don't do that. I have too many other games to play!

  • I played Earthworm Jim a little bit when I was a kid and liked the characters, but don't remember the gameplay much. I don't think I ever finished it.

    Heh, Virtual Boy looks uncomfortable. Main question is, who thought it will be comfortable to use. 😀

  • Ooh, nice! That's a really good series.

    I played Two Point Hospital, back when I had the PS+ Extra, and loved the game. Planning to play the rest of the series now.

  • Nintendo Classics – March 2026 Game Updates

    Jump

  • Ahan, thanks. Will check it out.

  • Shigeru Miyamoto x Shigesato Itoi – 1989 Interview - shmuplations.com

    Jump

  • There are lots of interesting bits. Somethings that didn't age too well, for instance, these comments about voice acting in games:

    Itou: It's about how weird you can get. Realistic sounds are just boring, you know?

    Itoi: On the PC Engine CD-ROM, the games use actual human voices, but it's really lame.

    Itou: It ruins the immersion. You lose the ability to project yourself into the character because you're forced to hear this other distinct voice.

    Itoi: Imagine if the Flying Men's lines in MOTHER were read by a human voice... wouldn't that be awful?

    Itou: That'd be terrible. Everyone is already reading those lines in their own heads, giving him their own version of a frail, delicate voice.

    Miyamoto: In my head, I don't picture most game characters as Japanese. The protagonist always has blue eyes, right?

    But then there are lots of other interesting discussions of how the games will evolve when they don't have to worry about the memory etc, and games where you don't have a goal, how to keep people engaged in such a game. One example for a new game genre / design:

    Miyamoto: I think there are still plenty of possibilities in game design. For instance, imagine a game where you input something, and when you check back a month later, it's transformed into something totally unexpected. We don't have anything like that, do we?

    Or, take how people living in apartments today can't keep pets. If someone who was obsessed with the joy of having a pet made a game that captured that feeling, I think it would become a huge craze. And since it's a simulation, you could even include the "unfortunate" parts, like the pet eventually passing away, as part of the experience.

    Upcoming First Party Games by Nintendo - 2026-03

  • Not counting Mario Wonder, there are 7 first party games announced for 2026, that isn't a bad lineup, IMO. Though, I am hoping we will get at least a couple more.

    Jump

  • Isn't this the whole gimmick of the game? You delay the encounter and then fight them all at once, maybe that's why the encounter rate is high.

    Of course, if this is accompanied with a difficulty spike, you won't be able to do that properly.

    What JRPGs will you be playing in March? What games did you finish in February?

    Jump

  • Haven't finished anything in Feb, but I did count Fire Emblem: Three Houses as completed. I have done the Black Eagle route, and the DLC, and partial hidden Black Eagle route. Was planning to do all the routes, but don't want to keep repeating the monastery parts, so I am considering this as completed.

    Currently playing Xuan Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains, technically it's Chinese RPG, but it's the same genre, so I guess it counts. This is a port of the mobile version of a 1999 game, which has some reduced difficulty and levels you up quickly. Game has some old design elements, and difficulty spikes at bosses, but overall it's a fun game, with an interesting world building. Hope to complete it this month.
