“New” beginning? Knowing MonolithSoft, it’s going to be overflowing with callbacks. I know I recognized some of those environments!

I thought that too! Mostly environmentally…. Still haven’t played Three Houses. Maybe it is time to watch a play through.

I got the feeling they were inside a Dyson sphere. It felt like the ground was curved toward the sub, you know?

Also, did anyone else get the feeling that the school building looks like the building at the beginning of Xenoblade Chronicles 3?

By step back, I supposed I mean in art-style. I loved the look of Jet Set Radio and Wind Waker.

My secret wish is that Majora’s Mask is just included in the game. But more likely it’ll be a quick turnaround to capitalize on the live action movie.

I was a Final Fantasy teen when the N64 came out. I missed the whole generation and came back for GameCube.

I did have the GameCube special edition of Ocarina and Majora’s, but they felt like such a step back from Wind Waker and I was so busy with college that I just shelved it and never looked back.

This is definitely my worry, too.

Missed Opportunities Thread

If there had been one announcement I would have wished for, it would have been something in the Ace Attorney universe.

Maybe I’m seeing things, but during the trailer, I asked my son why they were dressed up like Bayonetta.

I was so excited to see and hear the original ninja game in this trailer!

But no launch date, right?

I was a little bummed about a remake instead of a new game announcement, but I just remembered I’ve never played any of the N64 lineup. Put me in the “looking forward to it” group!

I’m just happy to be on summer vacation and that I got to watch it live with my kids. The oldest won with his bet that they’d show off two or three farming sims (as opposed to the youngest’s bet of one or four).

I was really glad to get a release date for Big Walk. I thought Final Fantasy Resonance looked familiar: it’s a retelling of a mobile game’s story. Still looks good, though.

Hooray for Genesis!

Happy you got your wish!

My biggest take away from the new FFVII is how I wish I was playing Xenoblade. I’m right there with you, Rancher.

I came to Danganronpa as a Phoenix Wright superfan. For me, the draw of the trials was everything. But something weird happened partway through the first game as I found I was enjoying the parts outside of trials even more than the trials. I think it is because I cared about Phoenix right away, but in Danganronpa I grew to love the characters without realizing I cared.

What?! I’m not even past chapter 2 of the previous game! :)

Welcome to the other side! Now that you’ve finished Danganronpa, I look forward to hearing about your views on the rest of the franchise as you get there. But pace yourself!

Regarding Danganronpa: if you can find a way to play the first few hours (by checking it out if a public library, for example), I feel like it will catch you quickly. If you are two hours in and bored, it’s not for you.
