    It's in Japanese but it's still nice to watch.

    I'm going to wait, I have the franchise on Wii, WiiU and N3DS and can't get into any of them, no sense in throwing money at the game only for it to only look pretty on my shelf.

    You really need to come along to the Christmas Beers in my place on the 15th of December to see just how dreadful my game collection has gotten.
    Shelves of great games that have gotten little more than the tutorial played :(
    You know you're in trouble when you don't even have the time to play all of your Switch games, the rest has no hope.


    That said....


    Playing Titanfall 2 right now, it's amazing.

    Is it promising that there isn't a preinstall pack for the game, as there was for Xenoblade Chronicles X on the WiiU?

    I'm glad we got this interview, after watching that trailer today I had a few questions.

    Find out more about the music of Xenoblade Chronicles 2

    https://www.nintendo.co.uk/News/2017/November/Find-out-more-about-the-music-of-Xenoblade-Chronicles-2-1310312.html

    It's well worth reading, with a mention of Ireland and ANÚNA.

    There's a great piece to be written about the influence and use of Irish music in Japanese video games, from Metal Gear Solid to the obvious influences in LoZ.

    Mitsuda has always been influenced by Irish music. There's a heavy influence in all the games he has composed since Chrono Cross.

    I know Clannad recorded an official FF4 album as well called Celtic Moon which is fantastic.

    Ordered it today, €50 delivered from Smyths was too good to turn down. Do they ever get games out the day of release or is it a few days after?

    I seem to remember that there were people here that had their SNES Classic Mini delivered on the release date. But any time I've ordered games from them they would arrive on the following Monday or Tuesday. Plus with Nintendo now cracking down on street dates being broken I'd say there's less chance of it being delivered on the release date. See what others have to say about more recent games like Super Mario Odyssey and other first party titles.

    So just a code you will possibly get before release date... But you will still need to wait until it unlocks anyways. So I'd still go with the SA store for €41 preloaded it now and be ready to play at 10pm tomorrow before bed!

    Haven't been following this at all - is it a sequel to the Wii or Wii U game? Are there going to be mechs in it?

    I think it's a sequel to the original, or at least set in the same universe.
    The WiiU title was entirely different afaik.

    I'm no expert, given I could barely make it through the tutorial!

    Same here. Bought both games, abandoned both. Couldn't get into them.

    Doesn't look good for both Nintendo mods to have fallen at such an early hurdle!

    It's your responsibility as mods to play both to completion now so you can aid anyone posting with questions. :)
