Check Wal-Mart, it's 64.99$CAD during E3.
Grabbed it there with Astral Chain at the same price.

I buy digital. this way I can't lose the cartridge (knowing my luck) or don't have to swap cartridges. It was either LA or FE: 3 houses for my second game w/ the vouchers the gameplay on from the treehouse sold me on Fire Emblem.
EDIT - Didn't read properly, my bad. Ignore this.
I'm kinda surprised there's not more hype on this forum in general for Astral Chain. Usually Platinum stuff gets a lot of attention here but I feel like this is slipping by.
Which is crazy because after the gameplay they showed yesterday and today it's easily looking like the game of the show for me.

Wasn't the elder scroll card game supposed to come to Switch? It pretty much lost its window.
I've been trying to push it lol. This and Luigi's Mansion 3 are my favorite games n
I made a thread to push it, and itz turning out well, already on the 2nd pay, I'm gonna make one for DxM aswell matbe tomorrow since its getting late and im thinking of making one foe fire emblem aswell but dont know how to push it because theres alot of info given
only downside is no multiplayer. I get it, but oh well.
I've beaten the game like 2.5 or 3.5 times, but I'm curious about the voice acting for the big scenes.
since you can choose whatever character and order.
The story obviously has the same general story beats once you get your 3rd member, but certain story stuff has a deviation based on your party.
Like Duran and a certain enemy. The cut scenes are somewhat different.
So that will be interesting.
It looks like a solid 7.5 mid tier JRPG, but I'm so day one. Out of nostalgia and everything lol.
we know it's gonna cost 50 bucks tho.
SOM collection is 40 lol.
Lost Sphyear is 50.
So now way this is less than 50. Maybe even 60 knowing square.
I have to say the Lucky game looks pretty good by now. Movement and camera are on point and the style is also okay.
I just think it all looks too nice. The best collectathons gave us memorable characters on top of things to collect too. Lucky looks very bland as a protagonist to me and a lot of the folks populating his worlds do too. It doesn't feel like an 'all ages' game but very much catering to the very young. If the gameplay is excellent, I might still buy but otherwise this isn't necessarily for me.

Honestly, what is Dragon Quest XI S's resolution? It seems lower than 720p. I can stomach it but it must be the lower so far in a high profile release.
Performance at least looks good.
Daemon x Machina's is a bit of a reverse example: framerate is really low but the resolution is top notch.
Either way, I am buying both.

Me too. It's not normally a thing I have to think about with Nintendo games. And even though they have time to optimise, they normally have solid builds, even at E3.
I don't know the Switch resolution but it's possible that you are right about being lower than 720p since on base PS4 it was already 900p (and the framerate dropped a bit in some areas).
Finally, all caught up with day 2. FE looks great, UA3 as well, and so does Astral Chain and DxM. Add Link's Awakening and LM3 and I don't know how I can afford all this. Will have to pace it all and buy into the vouchers. They are good to purchase until July, right?
Definitely one of my most anticipated games for this year, i think this game will turn out really great.
With Fire Emblem and Links Awakening releasing too, easily a great Switch year in general
Yay! Didn't expect a Mario Maker 2 part 3 stream. A colleague walked by while I was watching the video (lunch break) and he immediately grabbed a chair and watched it with me. He thinks it looks super fun.
I agree... Two more weeks!

Looks like it's 720p with some aggressive TAA. Might have dynamic resolution which I don't think the PS4 version had
Weird thing I noticed watching the third Mario Maker 2 stream:
It looks like Mario doesn't slide down slopes in the SMB style. He crouches and slows down while going down slopes. I thought all original styles share the same physics. I guess NSMBU has triple jumps and twirls and SMW has spin jumps but it seems weird that they decided that SMB shouldn't allow sliding when ducking on slopes...

I think it will be worth it insofar as it's not a 1 - 1 remake so it should be fresh
It's also coming out fairly soon and actually looks decent compared to the previous Mana remake.
If memory serves, in the past Treehouses the final segment on the final day has usually been just them kicking back and having fun on something higher-profile, so it wouldn't surprise me if they end with some last bit of Mario Maker or Luigi's Mansion. It'll be interesting if they don't, though, and make that last segment an indie as well; wonder what'll get that spot?
Believe they will, I do hope we get a bit more info from Team Cherry's PR guy (can't remember his name).
Hmm, I thought it was because he was going so slowly and wasn't in the ice world, but looking back at it I think you're right. That is odd.
I think Nintendo has a strong chance of publishing 6 or more games that score 85+ on MC to close out the year.
Cadence of Hyrule - 85+ (Winterreise pointed out that Crypt scored an 87 originally and this is published by Nintendo)
Super Mario Maker 2 - 87+ (first game averaged 88, I can't see this going lower than that)
Fire Emblem: Three Houses - 85+ (Awakening was 92, Fates was 88)
Astral Chain - 85+ (Platinum games can be divisive, but this looks high-quality like Nier or Bayonetta)
Zelda: Link's Awakening - 85+ (depending on performance and extras, ALBW got a 91, but was a new game)
Dragon Quest XI S - 85+ (PS4 averaged 86, this looks improved in many ways, slight graphical downgrade)
Luigi's Mansion 3 - 85+ (Dark Moon averaged 86, this looks Next Level)
Pokemon Sword/Shield - 85+ (Sun/Moon averaged 87, series as a whole stays in the mid-80 range. Let's Go was more divisive and a remake at 79)
Shoutouts to Builders 2 (first game averaged an 81), Daemon x Machina (looks too divisive to break 85, but who knows), Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 (looks fun, but may not break 85 based off what I've seen), Mario & Sonic (these are typically in the 60's and 70's, but this looks good?, also not published by Nintendo in the West),
Note: 85 is an arbitrary cutoff for quality and games can be enjoyed below that threshold, it doesn't mean they are bad.

Do we know if there will be any new indie game announcements today, or if it will only be focusing on previously announced/released games?
I'd say Cadence of Hyrule is a lock for 85+, considering NecroDancer has an 87 on Metacritic and Cadence looks improved in every way + Zelda tie-in.

Yeah it'll be a good year.
Astral Chain and LA in particular I can see getting 90+, going by Bayonetta 2/NieR (89 but combat looks better here) and ALBW
Honestly maybe even LM3 going by how much better it looks than Dark Moon, which got 86
Good point! Forgot that was being published by Nintendo.
So I had a quick glance at 2018, and it looked like the very last content segment before they all grouped up to say goodbye was them playing Killer Queen Black on the showfloor. Prior to that - the last sit-down bit - was Smash, though.
Day 3 tends to be more chill, so I can't imagine you missing too much.
They should upload the segments to their YouTube channel, so you'll just have to catch up later :)
