They've constantly flirted with the idea of making console games (and even brought over games to Playstation and Xbox) since Starcraft Ghost. Did they have a bad breakup with Nintendo or something? I think that Blizzard's business model changed drastically over the past few years. Games like Hearthstone, Overwatch and Heroes of the Storm have a completely different (and more lucrative?) revenue system than Starcraft 2, Diablo 3 or Warcraft 3. The latter were basically "buy once, get all content" while the latter seem to offer more "content on demand", which does require the player to purchase it. This can be cosmetic items or even whole campaigns. The Nova DLC for Starcraft 2 in conjuction with the co-op campaigns and making the multiplayer portion of the game essentially free to play fit that same strategy. It is a business model that is impossible to apply to a barebones and highly locked down gaming system like the Nintendo Switch. Taking into account the fact that Nintendo is very aware that young children are a very important demographic for them (just try licking a gaming cartridge), I cannot imagine Nintendo wanting to offer much support for "lootbox games" on the Switch. Especially not at a time when the practice itself is increasingly coming under severe scrutiny from gambling regulators in the US and EU. | ||

Arguably a better game than Diablo 3 too. Yeah but porting it to play with joycons or any controller would probably be much harder | ||

it has its shortcomings but it's style, story, characters, gameplay, etc... are so well done it just outweighs those few problems, it is definitely a game that needs time but once it shines, it's just beautiful. and the music is downright FANTASTIC I guess this is one of "the sum is greater than the parts" games, everything comes together quite nicely, and endgame content is pretty good too | ||

I haven't seen a new addition of my best JRPG list since the end of the playstation. :p And yes I have played tons of them on PS2, PS3, PS4, PSP, DS and all its versions | ||

Oh god that rap song It won the awards for best composer and best main theme at the annual game music awards, and still ppl troll about the rap song lmao. Easily one of the best game soundtracks ever. Story I can agree with but I personally care less about story anyway, which is why XCX is #1 for me. | ||
