Ah cool, thanks for sharing. For some reason I thought review copies were typically sent out 2 weeks before the embargo date but I have no idea why I thought that.

It definitely varies. I've received games almost a month out, and I've received games on launch day. Sometimes it's highly automated, and sometimes you have to work really closely with PR to make sure you have what you need.
There were some changes at Atlus right before Persona 5 came out that I didn't keep track of, and I ended up getting the game four days before it launched. Needless to say that review did not make embargo. =[

Got my copy from the ubi store today. The game doesn't appear to support 5.1ch audio which is a bummer.
Edit: Actually it does but fairly minimal, only in battles from what I can tell.

It doesn't seem to be native res in portable mode but it's still quite beautiful.
I know yall just got your copies and reviews will eventually talk about this, but I would like to hear from people after they've played like 10-15 hours about does the game get repetitive and how varied is the gameplay and enemy design. Currently that's my only concern with this game.

My Shopto order actually turned up so I imagine yours will too!

That's a shame, enough to be distracting? I play my Switch exclusively in handheld.

Not... really it's just very soft. Not as soft as Snake Pass, if you've played that.The ๖ۜBronx;247023906 said:

I haven't sadly, thanks for the response though. I've not had an issue with any other game so doubt it would be with this, with the exception of Pokken Tournament which looks extremely blurred on handheld.
How's the game as a whole? initial impressions I know just curious what you're liking so far.

The softness really isn't bad tbh, it's noticeable but the menus are crisp and clear and the game uses depth of field quite liberally so backgrounds would be a bit blurry anyway.The ๖ۜBronx;247024066 said:
I'm enjoying it so far but it's fucking weird. Like, so bizarre. It feels responsive and the animations are really nice though. I'm only about 1h in.

My Collector's Edition arrived.
But Kiwami.

Didn't Ubisoft confirm it was 720p in portable?
Can anyone else confirm this? This is the first time I've read that this game doesn't run at native 720p in handheld mode.

I just left the house but when I get back I'll take a photo of the screen in portable mode. I don't think it's 720p but I could be wrong.

Awesome, thanks for that. Will be picking it up at the end of the month, so can't wait!The softness really isn't bad tbh, it's noticeable but the menus are crisp and clear and the game uses depth of field quite liberally so backgrounds would be a bit blurry anyway.

I have the exact same games coming... too bad it won't be until Tuesday
I guess I don't have anything to do this weekend after all. I'll deal with the consequences later!
Also the uglilest keychain ever, but his crotch is also a light, so I'm divided

I don't even have a Switch, but I'm a bit confused: there doesn't seem to be an OT for the game yet?

The graphics in this game look so good to me, they're like CG animation good. Don't think Nintendo's own first party efforts (including Odyssey) have looked this good on the Switch yet... what sorcery is this?
Does 30fps, smaller levels, and turn based logic explain it?

I suspect it will be up within 24 hrs of NA release.

That's weird. Ubi confirmed 720/30 in handheldmode and 900/30 on a TV set.

The game's not out officially until Tuesday, so no OT before Monday I guess.

Some guys received the game already. Most guys I know via the Ubistore.

Yep, that's what it reminded me of too. Not a bad thing!

Just beat the first mid boss (Been playing 2-3 hours).
Game is a joy so far, music is great, art is great, gameplay is shaping up to be a weird mix of disgaea & Xcom, with exploration puzzles in between.

I genuinely have to give the people that made this game some sincere credit, even before having played it but with the knowledge of what it is and the reactions so far. When this first leaked I couldn't begin to think what was going through the head of the person that came up with it. Peach Rabbid? #Selfie? Instant dismissal based on a dislike of the characters involved.
They took something that really had no reason to be a good game, and made something unique (within the context of Mario at least) and unexpected with it. The art style is gorgeous and befitting of a Mario title and by all accounts the gameplay and depth to match, and even surpass, others of the franchise.
It's become an instant purchase for many serious gamers despite having had all the appearance of an extremely casual or childish game. Not to knock casual gaming, I just think it's blown expectations out of the water from people that would otherwise have thought it to be shallow.
To take something that disliked and make what they have from it is impressive. It also makes me wonder what they could do if they had other, less controversial, IPs to work with.

Look forward to hearing some impressions when you get a chance to play a bit!
Spoil me on game length for world 1-3.
I would say it's roughly only taken me around 50 minutes to get this far.
1-3 itself took about ten minutes.
Ah, I thought you meant you've finished world 1 to world 3. oops.
How's the difficulty so far?
