  1. My take is that after the success of the SMB movie it will be a very Mario focused direct. New 2D Mario, Mario & Rabbits DLC gameplay, new Mario Kart 8 courses, Mario & Sonic before the Olympics, new Mario Party (which in the WiiU/3DS days was basically an annual franchise) and Mario RPG remake to end the Direct. They can show a lot of Mario and honestly this is more filler than killer, which would make sense if Nintendo is gearing up for new hardware in 2024. I don't expect any Metroid related news as it is too early for a Super Metroid remake by Mercury Steam after Dread, Prime: Echoes seems also too soon and Prime 4 is not coming out before 2024. As for a Fire Emblem remake, idk. We are getting FE GBA for Nintendo Switch Online in a couple of days, so it might be good timing but depending on when the remake is scheduled to release Nintendo might hold off the announcement until later this year. But maybe they just want to pump it out to fill a gap since Engage underperformed instead of sitting on it. Apart from the obvious Pikmin 4 news, we'll get some DLCs (Pikmin season-pass while we're at it, Splatoon 3, the mentioned Mario & Rabbits, Mario Kart), a few 3rd party games like Persona 5 Tactica mentioned in a highlight reel and maybe some news or an exclusive demo of Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D, since I think Square will have some kind of presence. If we are really entering the last few months of the Switch lifecycle I keep my expectations low, since Nintendo hasn't been good in supporting a system they are going to drop soon.
  2. I have Edelgard and Lucina guarding some of my DS/3DS games: And my crowded "Fire Emblem shrine" with all the amiibos:
  3. Whenever I am replaying RD, its unique structure stands out to me. It's both a blessing and a curse is an way, because while it enables some of the most varied map design in the series it comes with the downside of not having much time to level up your party. I'm currently on part III of my recent playthrough and have mixed feelings regarding the topic. I enjoy the challenge that comes with frequent party switching but more often than not I feel not in control of the larger picture. One of the main draws in basically every FE game for me is carefully building up your units for the endgame, an aspect in which RD is lacking due to the sheer amount of overpowered units the game constantly throws at the player. Sure, I have the option to not use them but the chapters are specifically designed for them to play a large role and let me tell you that each unit killed by Nailah and such pains my heart as I cannot help but see the exp as being stolen from weaker units. But at the end of the day I guess that's Radiant Dawn's charm, cause there needs to be someone OP to plug the bottlenecks like Haar in the part II endgame. What's Serenes Forest's take on how RD is split up in different parts? I have seen the levelling issue discussed here but there are more implications through the structure and I wonder how fond people here are in general of this gameplay choice.
  4. Always had a soft spot for FF mages, so I'll go with Y'shtola from FFXIV.
  5. For me it's on a case-by-case basis. If we are talking 8-bit and 16-bit remasters: gimme content. I have played these games before, their pixel art is often ageless, so accessibility options and added stuff is what will mainly draw me to a re-release. Early 3D games on the other hand? Yeah, update the graphics, please.
  6. True, haven't thought about that there are plenty ACA Neo Geo games on sale but ultimately I don't think Nintendo will be bothered by this if they still have the licences from the Wii days. There's been some overlap before with NES/SNES games sold in collections (Konami comes to mind) but, yeah, Hamster doing their thing makes it a lot less likely.
  7. I'm disappointed there is no renown you can farm over multiple playthroughs like in previous games. No New Game+ carrying over stuff like bond rings or support conversations seems like an odd omission, considering for example how much money you need for all donations.
  8. Yeah, but come on - this is like saying "fliers should be scrapped, because they die from arrows". I'm not the biggest armoured tank fan either but I think the emblem mechanic actually does a good job of levelling the field a bit. Using Sigurd to run away feels bad but, well, works. Made a Tiki-tank recently and the amount of HP healed in late game is no joke. Roy has "Hold Out". There are quite a few ways to mitigate the problem. I had more fun with tanks in Engage than in previous games at least.
  9. Isn't that basically the shtick of most Fire Emblem games? Exaggerating certain traits to make the characters stand out and then going from there to add a little bit more depth. I honestly fail to see a big difference between Linhard's napping or Bernie being a scaredy cat all the time and Celine's tea focus. And as someone mentioned before, Celine is a great character if you take in more then just a few early few C supports. I obviously haven't seen all the support convos in FEE but in my opinion they neatly fall in line with the above concept. For example Yunaka's conversations with Citrinne shine some light on her backstory .
  10. No, I enjoy manually setting up all my units. Automatically optimizing one unit's equipment may not always be the best choice for the whole party and often requires manual adjustments and redistribution anyway, so I tend to do everything by myself anyway. Though I think that it can be a convenient option for quick setups of backup characters in skirmishes or on lower difficulties. Definitely useful to have that possibility.
  11. I'm not aware of any channel solely dedicated to FE in polish. Found some let's play videos like the one below and of course reviews but no in-depth content.
  12. @Lord_Brand might also be that the input lag on the version you are playing is really bad. Though, fwiw I find MMX4 to be one of the hardest (if not THE hardest) X game. Sigma is just brutal.
  13. As others ITT have mentioned, the DLC does not add any significant story content. Yes, the additional boss fights are fun but I don't think they are worth the additional money, even discounted.
  14. Super Mario Kart. I was a god as a kid but modern Mario Kart drifting spoiled me so much I was struggling to re-learn the controls. @vanguard333 I feel you. Had the same issue, ended up using a Pro Controller, which worked surprisingly decent.
