It’s strange that Nintendo still hasn’t done some sort of “Nintendo selects” or “players choice” for the Nintendo switch.

[@raidexe]

Nintendo only caters to which label makes them the most money. Honestly this game is to good hence why it's underrated. That's just imo tho.

[@maroXUprising]

@@raidexe That much is obvious. It sucks for sure. Astral Chain performed well enough though. It was in the top 3 UK sales charts. Platinum Games titles hardly ever charted in the top charts, not even Nier Automata could do that when it was a PS4 exclusive. And the Astral Chain IP is now fully owned by Nintendo, so Nintendo seemed to be satisfied over all with the sales. Will they care about the IP? That’s the question, I’d say it’s a 50-50. We’ll just have to wait and see if Platinum Games & Nintendo consider making a sequel. Aside from that, it’s still a pity that Nintendo’s 1st party Games hardly ever drop in price, and they have yet to brought back the ‘Nintendo selects’ catalog which would be honestly consumer friendly at this point if most of their games were marked down in price.

[@raidexe]

@@maroXUprising I totally agree, and I think Nintendo over time has only payed attention to the hype over a title over their actual consumer's, so that only makes sense on why Nintendo doesn't implement Nintendo select mechanic. I'm also kinda pissed AC didn't get any merch made from Platinum, from my experience, seeing random merch helped me get into random titles of games and music that I enjoy now.

Astral Chain X JoJo

I really hope Akira is a smash character. This would be an even better puppeteer character. I wonder how they would implement the moves though. I wonder if you would even be able to switch between legions

[@JOJO-hb6or]

I agree, I actually just thought of that earlier today.

[@MrAuthor3DS]

The easiest specials to think of would be Chain Bind and Chain Jump, for certain.

[@seabassio7126]

Maybe it would be like jokers arsene but you can control it with the c stick? and in sideways joycon it moves with you?

[@zerochill4096]

Switching through Legions would be easy because a precedent for that exists with Shulk's Monado Art swap in mechanic, and Legion swapping in-game mimics the Monado Arts well.

[@puedenllamarmeDarkStar]

maybe a Pokémon Trainer-like character

got this game last week and i have to say im excited to check it out but i have expectations considering all the talk its gotten

[@guitarspud1723]

It's very good, with lulls. But stick with it. It's got some adrenaline like none other.

[@hoppefrosk]

Lyrics, taken from the Collector's Edition artbook: The sky turns red swallowing up each and every being in this town Hopes, hearts, everything is falling down Far away in the skyline A crowd of apparitions crawling around It's calling, it's calling Growing louder Are we the future of this burning hell? It's a fight for our paradise Fight for our lives So keep holding on, keep holding on Until we break the spell Free yourself, reach for the light in darkness and despair If there comes a time when you're falling down I'll be your savior The eyes of the living dead, the lies, the cries without a single sound Cold hearts, everything is falling down (The) War is on, our faiths are gone Another reminiscence haunting us all It's calling, it's calling Over and over Are we the future of this burning hell? It's a fight for our paradise Fight for our lives So keep holding on, keep holding on Until we break the spell Free yourself, reach for the light in darkness and despair If there comes a time when you're falling down I'll be your savior Don't need to be afraid Don't need to look away You'll never be alone, let's show them that we're here to stay Fight for our paradise Fight for our lives So keep holding on, keep holding on Until we break the spell Let the truth reveal itself (And) Bring this chaos to an end Fight for our paradise Fight for our lives So keep holding on, keep holding on Until we break the spell Free yourself, reach for the light in darkness and despair If there comes a time when you're falling down I'll be your savior I'll be your savior

I finally have a switch now and this game is one of many I’m the most hyped to get. Once I can afford it, of course.

[@spenserfarman3045]

I got this game for myself and it definitely wasn’t a disappointment. I still haven’t beaten all of Olive’s missions, but it’s still fun to replay.

[@Ender-Eye2000]

If this became an anime opening, I would not be opposed to it.

[@spirit5121]

This legitimately could play on the radio.

They did a good ass job. The guy was like a Legion and the girl was the legonist.

this game is fucking awesome! the boss battles are incredible and the story is really good. i hope we get an Astral Chain Anime. it would be so awesome! also Lappy is best not a dog. i love Lappy!

I'll do what I can to avoid spoilers, but there's one fight where this song plays, and HOO BOY, if you've done it, you know which one it is. Gives you a different appreciation for the song though :)
