Yesterday Sony announced a bunch of games, announced the price for the PS5 and in one breath royally pissed me off with the price hike on games. No joke, fuck of with that

Today is Nintendo's turn to announce some games, focusing on 3rd party games, with Capcom's Monster Hunter as star of the show.


TLDR overview of all games announced:
  • Monster Hunter Rise
  • Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin
  • Ori and the Will of the Wisps
  • Hades
  • Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny
  • Fitness Boxing 2: Rhythm
  • Balan Wonderworld
  • Rune Factory 5
  • The Long Dark
  • Empire of Sins
  • Sniper Elite 4

And still no Bayonetta 3. Damn it. I know No More Heroes 3 got delayed to 2021, but that is nothing new for the series as 2 and Travis Strikes Again have both gotten delays.

Yeah, but this was strictly 3rd party, while Bayo is now Nintendo published. Seems more likely it would show up in a 1st party showcase. Unless Platinum is looking to self-publish, like Wonderful 101. Also these Directs tend to feature games set to release in 3-6 months. In this case most are first half of 2021, leaving another whole half for No More Heroes 3 to release in.

Not gonna lie but seeing the Monster Hunter news and especially Disgaea 6 made my day, heck week. I'm actually excited that Disgaea 6 is anteing up in their usual over the top manner. I've never reached level 9999 legitmately yet but I'm gonna try for it again. This is also the first time I've seen Balan Wonderland because I was actually too busy to catch its announcement for the first time. I think it looks interesting; It kind of reminds me of Kirby in a way even though I know its more based on NiGHTs into Dreams.

Oh and Hades looks neat. That's all I gotta say.

Monster Hunter Rise was interesting enough that I checked to see if anyone made a Pro Controller that doesn't have the mutant claw nonsense Microsoft and Nintendo do on the left thumbsticks.


Given the only result wanted me to allow notifications to prove I wasn't a robot, guessing not. Which considering it literally hurts my hand after a bit to play on my nephews, switch I'm going with a skip I guess.
