I don't think it matters. All of those games flopped on Switch except for Octopath Traveller which is actually one of the best selling non-Nintendo games. Nintendo 1st party exclusives completely outsell everything on the system. Animal Crossing New Horizons already sold over a million units in Japan alone, in only 3 days. So I doubt they care if the 3rd parties stay exclusive to them, especially any lame shit made by GHM manufacture. I really don't understand how that company has fans, when their games always feel so half-assed & broken, relying way too much on style. A style that feels like some early 2000s relic.
Had DxM been a success, I think it would've stayed exclusive. It was always a game that seemed it would've done better outside of the Switch due to how the Switch can't actually handle the game.
MUA 3 was the same way, but that stayed exclusive coz it and Astral Chain both made a lot of money. Not Nintendo-level money, but still sold over a million. I'm actually seeing MUA3 selling way more copies after the Xmen dlc dropped and I think it will keep on selling after the Fantastic 4 dlc released yesterday, coz that game is now garnering a reputation with the fans as being one of the best in the series, to the point that there's a lot of people who want a season pass 2.
I hope not, MUA3 isn't good enough to warrant that. I'd rather a sequel, coz the levels are shit.
I do have my suspicions that Bravely Default 2 will be timed-exclusive but I don't care, that demo alone is easily a 9 out of 10 game and if Square wants to spread it around, let them. It's easily Switch-GOTY material if it weren't facing stiff competition from Nintendo themselves.If either Metroid Prime 4 & BOTW2 make a surprise release this year, and even Xenoblade DE will give BD2 stiff competition. Nobody is beating Animal Crossing New Horizons though, save for maybe BOTW2 (Animal Crossing actually beat Pokemon & BOTW in terms of the first 3 day sales.) and which ever surprise Mario game gets released this year.
I wasn't expecting BD2 to be that good, even though it is basically the same game as the 3ds one. I actually thought that there already was a BD2, but apparently Bravely Default Second on 3ds doesn't count.
He's easy. You're supposed to grab the lights from the ground during the final boss and just throw it at him, each succesul hit takes out a huge chunk from his lifebar.I reached the final boss in DxM and it's crazy hard for me, I will probably have to improve my mech before I can finish the boss. The annoying part is that it takes a couple mid-bosses before you get to the real one. Such a good game though.
I also had all of the endgame loadouts from the Ice Cream parlor by the time I got to him. I think it was called the Giga laser, that thing melts him. When you run out of ammo for it, just throw the light bombs at him. I also used the AR & MG with the most ammo so I could constantly pelt him with bullets while charging up my laser cannons and running back & forth to throw bombs at him.
The final boss is actually really easy in co-op mode since you have an entire team to take him on.
The only boss that really is a challenge is the postgame boss which is a huge ball who clones itseld & shoots lasers everywhere. I had to go online just to beat both of his forms and even then he kept killing most of my human controlled team.
I can beat him solo, by the time I traded it in, but that's coz I actually unlocked & completed everything within 50 hours.
DxM has the same problems that MUA3 had, lack of content & a non-optimized frame rate for the type of game it's trying to be. MUA3's frame rate is decent enough but DxM got really unplayable at times due to the frame rate. MUA3 also no longer has a lack of content anymore, and is actually the biggest MUA with the most content. The only area it's lacking in is level design, since it's designed more like a hybrid of a beat em up and an arena-battle game. The arena deathmatch battle style game design is what gives it life though since you'll be spending so much time optimizing through ISO builds just to come up with ways to dominate as fast as you can. I have 125 hours on MUA3 so far, with all of the DLC I can imagine that extending to 500 +. The only problem is that I'll also eventually be spending 500+ on XB2, Smash & BOTW.
If DxM had been a PS4 exclusive, this wouldn't even be a problem since 50 hours is actually much longer than a typical PS4 game. Even Bloodborne is only a 30 hour playthrough at best, and that's after two playthroughs. Nioh games are great though, coz I recall Nioh 1 taking me 140 hours just to beat the original game without DLC, and I played it for over 250 hours just coz that's how much content it has.
Nioh devs also did MUA3, so I'm guessing that the current iteration of Team Ninja is just really good at making Power-Creep style Action rpgs.
I knew there was something else I had to try out. I remember seeing that in that shitty direct. Arms being the next Smash character is lame though, but Nintendo knows what it's doing since they know it's going to lead to more Arms sales since that's exactly what Byleth did for Fire Emblem Three Houses.ARMS is free for a while and it plays great, I might grab an used copy somewhere if they're cheap.
I'll never understand why these compilations only ever include early 80s games that only Boomers & Gen X would give a shit about. Who actually buys this shit? Why not include early 90s Namco games like Ridge Racer, Tekken 1 - 3, Soul Blade, Soul Calibur 1, Time Crisis, etc. Now that would get some hype.Vintage Namco compilation
It's hilarious to me how these compilations are always filled with games that wouldn't even fill up 1gb in a SD card.
