Disappointed the Direct got postponed, but after seeing footage from the earthquake I totally get why. Japan is dealing with a lot right now. Typhoon and then earthquake? Damn.

 

[Sithborg]

I think the contents of the leak are beginning to leak out.

Any way, Civ VI is coming to the Switch. Which is... interesting.

 

[Lily Adler]

Interesting indeed. I never liked mobile games like that cause it felt clunky to control.

 

[Travesty]

If you DL the MM11 demo, just know that you can turn the voices off in the menu.

 

[Lily Adler]

Already 10 times better than Mighty No. 9 .

 

[Sithborg]

Rumor has it that the Direct has been rescheduled for this Thur.

 

[Sithborg]

Confirmed. Restart the hype train.


Also confirmed to get more info on the online service. Which starts next week.

[Matt Mortem]

35 minutes is a decent chunk of time for a Direct. I'm hoping we get a lot of exciting news. Nintendo really needs to bring some first party thunder though. Nintendo franchises are the lifeblood of the Switch. Let's get some more announcements.

 

[Sithborg]

Ideally, a good chunk for the online service.

 

[Matt Mortem]

Somewhat disappointed in the Direct. There was a lot of stuff we already knew about. That's probably a casualty of them having to delaying a week, but the third parties releasing their news anyway.

I don't know what the deal is with the Yoshi games. Wooly World took a century to come out and they showed it at damn near every Direct. They're doing the same here. Just release the Yoshi games. They can't be that difficult to pop out. I'm excited about Luigi's Mansion 3. I love that series so a new entry is welcome news. All the FF coming to Switch is amazing too. I wish Capcom would do the same with Resident Evil. Glad Animal Crossing was announced. It was of course going to come to Switch, but a confirmation is nice. Isabelle is a surprise character in Smash. Didn't see that coming.

 

[Sithborg]

Yeah, I was expecting a riot after the Animal Crossing tease with Isabelle. There are some games I am really, really happy to see on their online service. But we will see.

Momodora series spiritual sequel Minoria announced for Switch, PC
Published 22 hours ago. 13 comments.

Due out in 2019.

Publisher Dangen Entertainment and developer Bombservice have announced Minoria, a spiritual sequel to the Momodora series coming to Switch and PC in 2019.

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

About

Minoria is the latest and most ambitious game from Bombservice, and a spiritual sequel to the Momodora series, from the same studio.

Fans of Momodora will find familiar aspects in the design and gameplay elements, as they master the ins-and-outs of parries, dodges, and a variety of different spells.

The presentation has evolved to an HD format, with aesthetics mixing 2D hand-painted backgrounds and cel-shaded characters.

The story takes place during the fourth Witch War. It is a time of fanatical religious fervor. On the one hand, by the Sacred Office, a powerful organization leading an Inquisition against heresy, in order to purge the sinners who threaten humanity. And on the other hand, those labeled “witches”, responsible for conducting a mysterious ceremony that contradicts the rules of the Church.

Set forth with Sisters Semilla and Fran, missionaries in the Church’s service, on their journey to thwart the witches’ ceremony and protect the common-folk from heresy that endangers the status quo.

Key Features

• A powerful fantasy story inspired by the history of medieval Europe.
• A unique visual aesthetic combining hand-painted 2D art with cel-shading.
• Fluid controls encouraging careful engagement and patient play.
• Offensive combat enabling players to crush enemies with a mix of swordplay and spells.
• Defensive options including dodge-rolls and parries.
• A leveling system that helps players adjust their character to their desired difficulty.

Message from the Developer

Hello there! I’m rdein, the creator and director of Minoria.

First of all, I’d like to share my excitement in announcing this project. This is an universe I care a lot for, from the setting to the characters, and it’s been a lot of fun to explore and develop its concepts during the process of game development.

For the first time in many years, I started a game project set in a new universe. It felt like a breath of fresh air for me. With that said, Minoria does contain some similarities with my previous projects (especially Momodora’s latest installment, Reverie Under the Moonlight).

I am proud of what we’ve been making for Minoria, and I hope you will enjoy the story and characters I’ve prepared this time around!

Message from the Publisher

Howdy folks, Dan here from Dangen Entertainment. It’s been hard patiently waiting for the announcement of Minoria, knowing what an amazing game it’s going to be. It combines everything I love about the Momodora games with stronger emphasis on a solemn story. I love how Bombservice is approaching the visuals this time around too–it’s a unique take that looks beautiful and shows another evolutionary step in the team’s development experience, just as previous titles have.

This game is extraordinary. A must-play if you’ve got an appetite for action-platformers like I do.

Wall Street Journal: Nintendo to introduce new Switch model in second half of 2019
Published 4 hours ago. 67 comments.

New model to be introduced "as early as summer."

Nintendo will introduce a new version of its Switch console in the latter half of 2019, as early as the summer, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing “suppliers and others with direct knowledge of the plan.”

The outlet reported that Nintendo is still debating what new hardware and software features to include in the new model and weighing the cost of the features. One option is to improve the display, which currently uses a lower-end LCD without some technologies that are standard in recent smartphone LCDs, but the new model is not expected to adopt the OLED panels used in Apple’s iPhone X.

A Nintendo spokesman declined to comment.

Eve: Burst Error R for Switch launches October 25 in Japan
Published 15 hours ago. 17 comments.

Switch version of the digitally remastered visual novel dated.

The recently announced Switch version of Eve: Burst Error R will launch via the Nintendo eShop on October 25 in Japan for 2,980 yen, publisher Red Flag Ship announced.

The visual novel remake first launched for PS Vita and PC in April 2016. It offers updated graphics, the ability to skip text, and other useful features. The characters and event CG of the original game have been digitally remastered—recolored using the original game as its base.

Here is an overview of the story, via VNDB:

A Bizarre Serial Murder Mystery. There’s A Serial Killer Close By. A Prohibited Psychothriller. The Multi-Sight System Reveals Surprising Truth!

In this game there are two heroes, Kojiroh and Marina, who are each called to solve their own cases. This game allows you to switch characters at any time to solve the mysteries these heroes encounter. This “Multi-Sight Adventure” allows you to view what’s happening behind-the-scenes from the other character’s perspective, bump into each other, and sometimes even help each other out. Together, they come closer and closer to the shocking truth through their combined actions and skills of deduction.

Marina’s Episode: Marina is a national intelligence agent with a 99% success rate. Her new assignment is to protect the daughter of a Japanese embassy official stationed abroad. As you encounter numerous attackers, you become aware of a dangerous government dispute that is the root of all these attacks.

Kojiroh’s Episode: A seemingly down-on-his-luck private investigator finally gets a break, as he is hired to locate some mysterious piece of art. Even though he feels a little weird about this case, the pay is huge! Yet he may be drawn into an unexpected nightmare involving a string of bizarre murders.
