Personally, I'm expecting a few more remastered titles and a general coasting through the end of 2024, with a bunch of decent, mid-level fun games. 40 minutes is a lot of time to fill though, so maybe we'll get some really cool surprises. I can't imagine we'll get any huge news about an upcoming, groundbreaking, blockbuster first-party franchise, but I'd love to be wrong! I was so wrong, in the best way possible. Games from the Nintendo Direct that look awesome to me: Mario & Luigi: Brothership – November 7, 2024 Fantasian Neo Dimension – Holiday Season, 2024 MIO Memories In Orbit – 2025 Farmagia – November 1, 2024 Donkey Kong Country Returns HD – January 16, 2025 Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake – November 14, 2024 Dragon Quest I and II HD-2D Remakes – 2025 Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD – June 27, 2024 The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom – September 26, 2024 Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge Of The Seven – October 24, 2024 Metroid Prime 4 Beyond – 2025 New Nintendo Switch Online games | ||

Over the years I've play the Super Mega Baseball series against people within 1000 KM of where I am and lag is a non issue. https://www.nintendo.com/en-ca/store/products/super-mega-baseball-4-switch/ I highly suspect lag screws up the pitching//hitting aspect of the game from greater distances though. If you intend to play against someone on the other side of a continent or world... I can almost certainly guarantee you won't be happy. I omitted the fact that EA is the publisher of Super Mega Baseball 4. Until this version EA was NOT the publisher. Every EA Sports title has a "loot box"//"random player card pack" system for adding new players to the team you are building. You can earn these via game play or by paying $$$. EA's European Football title has core team building built around money microtransactions; EA makes more money from loot boxes//Card Packs in Football than they do selling the base game. However, Super Mega Baseball 4 does not have a Loot Box//Card Pack system. There are no microtransactions in the game. You can purchase 3 additional baseball parks. It is interesting to see that EA maintained the spirit of the game and did not tack on a Loot Box system. I think most people who love the series will stop buying the game if EA adds Loot Boxes. It is impressive that EA's marketing//revenue team figured that out. This EA Sports Game is the unusual exception where adding loot boxes would lower revenue. | ||

Is it fair to say that these microtransactions promote a pay-to-win style with these EA sports games? Or are they purely cosmetic and don't affect gameplay/competition? | ||

You will acquire some 'card packs' by paying $$$ or playing some games. A card will have say a 1 in 200 chance of being a really good player that will make your team better. People who play the game a lot and pay extra $$$ will have faster/better players. The EA Sports games of the 90s and early 2000s did not have these mechanics. I think EA's #1 sports game is their annual soccer/football title and I think EA sells more than $1 Billion in card packs each year for that game. | ||

Pretty scummy in a competitive multiplayer environment. | ||

So consumers do have a choice between baseball games with and without micro transactions. Super Mega Baseball 4 has a really good 'pick up and play' initial set up. Any one with a few months of previous baseball game playing experience can instantly have fun; the games can be done in less than 15 minutes. | ||

I think if you're a hard core NFL tackle football video game veteran "Legend Bowl" is an B+ If the game had online multiplayer it'd get an A from me. It has online multiplayer on Steam via "Remote Play Together". You can play local couch multiplayer. The analysis below is pretty close to how I view the game. The youtuber rates the game highly and the video got 700+ upvotes with less than 20 downvotes. An important factor is how much you like NFL video games. If you do not like this type of game you probably won't like Legend Bowl. I think this game was made by 1 guy EDIT: yes it was made by 1 guy. Here he is... wow man. | ||
