@Areus I think they could really nail that

@PegasusActual93 You mean make the protagonist a girl? Yeah they did that

@james_games Afterparty is definitely a little rough around the edges in places but I actually prefer it over Oxenfree. Totally worth a play

@Ralizah Right?? I'm so excited to finally be getting real SMT V news that I can barely wait

@ShogunRok I've only got one question: Is this your favorite game on the Citadel? But seriously, great review!

Looks amazing but I can think of so many RPGs more deserving of the treatment

Unless you can summon tentacle monsters to fight with you, this is just Ecchi vs. Evil

I really enjoy this game. Not amazing but really fun to occasionally explore and pick at. Definitely wish I had gotten the PS5 version instead of the Switch version but didn't think I'd be able to buy a PS5 anytime soon

Can't wait to get hyped for games on a system I can't buy anywhere

Also, I feel like logically we should see Persona 5 Scramble released in the west.

We're FINALLY getting SMT games released in 2021 after what feels like an onslaught of Persona content. I get that the fanbase is eager for more Persona but can we PLEASE give SMT some room to breathe too?

I'm assuming the set bonus let's you ignore monster's elemental resistance. That way you can use fire dual blades against, I don't know, a Rathalos and still be effective.

@Subsided Hahahaha. You think these scalpers are "average people" with terrible wages? That must be how they're able to buy tens and hundreds at a time right?

@Th3solution Hey nothing foolish about at least trying! Scalpers can't have them all lol. For Walmart, you'll have better luck if you use the Walmart App. I hear the best way is to add it to your cart on desktop, then immediately checkout through the mobile app as it just processes more easily that way.

Retailers like Best Buy, Game Stop and I believe Target are all funneling their stock online to make it harder for bots to snap them up. Best Buy in particular was pretty effective with a limit of 1 per customer and pick up only. You have to wait for stock to be available every 5-10 minutes and by clicking the Add To Cart button when it isn't available yet forces you back to the top of the screen so bots can't spam it and refreshing the page frequently causes the site to think you're a bot and simply never unlock your Add To Cart button. Target should drop any day now and Walmart is on Wednesday 9EST. Best of luck!

@Yaycandy But money IS an object for most other people and by gladly giving it up to these scalpers YOU are the one creating a market for them, which makes it harder for literally everyone else in the world trying to get one. Also paying more than double for an item is never a "good deal". With business sense like that, I'm surprised you're so well off and even more surprised that you can't understand why people here are calling you a fool. Enjoy your PS5

@Th3solution Unfortunately Captcha can be easily bypassed with the right software, which these scalpers are definitely using. Here in the States, Walmart sold out in 4 seconds last Thursday while us regular people were stuck in a Captcha Hell. This means that Captcha actually ends up helping scalpers because it slows everyone else down.

The art is beautiful but honestly I feel like they could have chosen a better variety of IPs

This game is a cute and charming distraction but not for anyone looking for a challenge in the genre

They've also confirmed there's going to be an easy difficulty called Merciful. This could be really helpful for new players having a difficult time with Nocturne's standard difficulty. I'm so excited for everyone to have the opportunity to play this!

Thanks for the mini reviews!

10/10 Article title 👌

@ShogunRok If I remember right, Koei Tecmo already confirmed an English localization was in the works so we're most likely getting an English trailer and release date. Although if I'm being honest, what I really want is SMT V news and maybe even a teaser on Project Re Fantasy

@ShogunRok Thank you!

@ShogunRok My absolute biggest problem with the original game was it's pacing and how that combined with it's length to make what I found to be a pretty bloated JRPG. Now that even more has been added, how do you feel it affects the overall pacing of the game? Does the added content break up some of the otherwise slower points of the game? Thanks

Not going for the low hanging fruit then I see. I'm a bit bummed the sub header didn't read "Toss a coin to your Witcher" lol

No thanks. I'm still recovering from being mothered the first time

@clvr Playtonic have already previously stated that Impossible Lair is more of a side game and that a proper Yooka-Laylee sequel is still to come. Think of this as more of a small quality game to help bolster the Yooka-Laylee brand name before that eventual sequel. I'm pretty sure the team was worried that after the reputation of the first game, interest in a sequel would suffer until they made the brand look better.

Brachydios mio!

Gotta go fast! 😉

@Quintumply That's awesome news. Thank you!

@Quintumply Thank you for the great review! One of my favorite features in the last game was the ability to play the entire single player campaign in two player split screen co-op. Is that still an option in this game? Thank you!

I like how half the comment section is trashing entitled NintendoLife users for something they do on their Nintendo specific site like it actually affects them personally. Way to be gracious winners guys.

It feels so weird that this game is only a month away and yet we know so much more about it's soundtrack than its actual gameplay. How many cups are there? How does Adventure Mode work in both single player and co-op? What about online play? I know this is a bad sign but I really hope this game is good

I don't know which has been dragged out longer, Persona 5's plot, or the announcement of this game.

I'd really love to see Atlus capitalize on Persona's growing fan base by introducing them to other games in the SMT universe via enhanced ports for PS4 and Switch. Digital Devil Saga, Devil Survivor, and SMT Nocturne are all really amazing games and a lot of Persona fans are missing out by having them stay on older systems.

Yes please to anything Digital Devil Saga!

@get2sammyb I know you said another discussion for another time regarding Persona 5 needing a bit of streamlining, but I would love to see a soapbox on that from you soon. Seriously, all my friends burn me at the stake for thinking that game has way too much fat on it!

I absolutely loved this game when it first came out on Xbox 360 and I can't wait to love it again. Question is do I buy it for PS4 for its smooth performance and 60fps, or do I get it for Switch for the ability to take it anywhere, play in bed, and have more readily available controllers for co-op?

Honestly a little surprised Xenoverse 2 made the list while BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle didn't. Though it looks like I'm the only one lol

@Outlaw_Overlord They've confirmed Co Op bosses but not PvP. With the producer of all the big PS2 era Armored Cores behind this one, I'll be very surprised if it doesn't make its way in seeing as how it was such a large part of the series longevity and how this game is clearly aiming to be the next Armored Core

@LieutenantFatman Yeah that's the downside. But hey at least games like this are still being made. With any luck, we'll get a proper Armored Core sequel soon

@Hapuc You misunderstand. From my two comments above, I mentioned that I actually PREFER PushSquare to NintendoLife. I think that they generally have a tighter knit community and even though there's usually less comments and activity on articles compared to NintendoLife, what is here is usually of higher quality in my opinion. I even called this site's moderators "fairly fantastic". Which is a compliment, not an attack.

@Derpie1 I'm on both PushSquare and NintendoLife pretty much every day. Yes I know that they're sister sites with a fair amount of overlap in their community but they still have their differences. But if you look at most NintendoLife comment sections, it's usually around 200+ comments of near insanity where as PushSquare rarely gets past 70 comments with tons of interaction from their (fairly fantastic) moderators. The comments here just usually aren't this bad

Wow. Come on guys. Persona 5 was one of the biggest PS4 games of last year. We should all be curious or excited about this new announcement but instead this comment section has devolved into a bunch of childish trolling. The PS4 and Switch are both great systems and there's no reason to belittle each other over ones home console of choice. I like this community because it's usually above petty things like this and generally more mature than NintendoLife. You can do better people, better get some sleep for the day.

@Bonbonetti @LieutenantFatman @Outlaw_Overlord For Everyone hoping one of these is a new Armored Core, have you seen trailers for Daemon X Machina?? While technically not a new Armored Core, it does have some Armored Core veterans working on it and is set to release early next year!

I feel like Starlink: Battle For Atlas should be on this list

I take it someone was trying to test the 3DS' 3D effect lol

Oh wow. I saw this at PSX years ago. The dev I talked to was very nice. If I remember right, this game is a heavy blend of Earthbound and Persona with a battle system full of whacky timing based mini games like a Mario RPG. So happy to see this finally make it to PS4. i'll probably pick this up.

"Tabata left Square Enix at the end of October, and not long after, we found out that DLC plans for Final Fantasy XV had been reduced significantly."
Hahaha that's an understatement. Wasn't it mere minutes later? It's like Square had to deliver a bad news good news scenario but didn't actually have any good news lol

OK guys, this is it. No really. If you're really unsatisfied with the trend of games releasing unfinished and having to wait for patches, bug fixes, and cut content: Just don't buy the game until it's finished. If there's one thing we all know about the big name publishers, it's that they won't put out something they don't think we'll buy. So this is it. Let's start making them question those practices.
And on that note, I still haven't bought my copy of FFXV haha
