Nihon Falcom has long been known for delivering compelling RPGs that blend peerless storytelling with robust and engaging gameplay mechanics.

Having attended a preview event for the game, I’m excited to share a deeper dive into its features, beginning with the refined battle system that has become a hallmark of the franchise.

Nintendo Franchises Post-Switch

As we head into the sunset era of one of Nintendo’s most beloved consoles ever, it’s as good time as any to take a look at all that’s happened over the past eight years.

Today, we’re taking a look at every single Nintendo series and each of its individual games on Switch. We’ll be analyzing how each series grew and changed over the course of the system’s life cycle – if it peaked, if it struggled, or if it wound up about average. Given the sheer volume of first-party offerings on Switch, this will be an extensive (and very long) analysis.
