Nintendo Reveals New Action RPG 'Dragalia Lost' Coming to Smartphones Later This Year

That's quite the generic-looking JRPG. Not that expected from Nintendo.

Could be good? I’m gutted they’re shutting down Miitomo as out of all the social media’s I really enjoyed spending time in that one..... guess these things happen.

That said I don’t buy games for my cellphone. Don’t see the point as they’re rarely as good quality as the tent pole blockbusters on Nintendo and Sony handheld systems. If I’m going to spend money.... and more importantly..... time on a game then it’s got to offer a world class experience

Recently I picked up a Nintendo Switch and having been an on again off again gamer over the past 30 years I gotta say it’s the best device I’ve ever used for games! It’s just so flexible playing it on a TV or a stand on a desk or handheld like an old Gameboy or Advance or PSP. And the games! Don’t get me started! In all my years I have never played a game as near perfect as Breath of the Wild..... the latest Zelda romp!

I’ve never been able to pin down what makes mobile gaming more lackluster than dedicated systems..... it’s somewhere between the attitude of developers (cheap, shoddy games, adverts, loot box gambling et al), the attitude of Apple (no legacy support means old games die), the lack of physical buttons, the abundance of illegal cloned games. I guess.... to me..... it feels like they’ve made games this cheap convenience like buying a can of soda. You buy it not expecting for it to last beyond a day, toss it away, get another. Whereas console gaming seems to be..... I dunno more respective of games as an art form with prices that mean developers get a fair wage, they’re built to last it seems

Well that trailer shows.... nothing...

I bet it’ll be the usual high gloss presentation with SNES graphics for gameplay which people seem to love??

DS graphics. In fact it looks almost identical to Square Enix’s “RPG Factory” ports of Final Fantasy 3 and 4 for the DS..... now I’m curious about the development behind it because it really does look like those games and if Nintendo have offloaded dev duties to the RPG Factory team.

Minor rant not aimed at any one on this board. There has been a surge in what are dubbed “RPG Maker games” on PC and consoles of late. They’re dreadful looking games that take the graphics and gameplay style from classic SNES JRPGs.... and they sell for like $40! Well of course they don’t sell. It irritates me because I want to play better games than that but all we get are those games or very expensive games from RPG giants. There’s no inbetween any more like we had in the PSP era.... now I wouldn’t mind more PSP JRPGs to make their way to newer systems.... that’d be sweet! Cuz the thing is those games are meant to stir the soul, take us to wonderful worlds..... and that sub genre (RPG maker games) is void of talent and awe

All I want is an MFi GameCube controller and a perfect 4K port of Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door to run at 60fps on my iPhone X.

Is this too hard to ask, Nintendo?

In one word, yes.

That's quite the generic-looking JRPG. Not that expected from Nintendo.

Yeah, looks like garbage

I hope it’s developed native for iOS and not a port from android. It seems more and more games don’t use the capabilities iOS soft- and hardware has to offer. A worrisome development and Apple should notice.

It’s as generic as it gets. I love RPGs, but I find nothing original or appealing about this game at all. At least based on the trailer. The music, the characters and the gameplay all seem cookie cutter. Who wants to bet that it will be plagued with IAPs and gimmicky gatcha features? No thanks.

I wish we could see more innovative games like Chrono Trigger.

Interesting that the video briefly included a QR code at the bottom. How are they planning on showing this video? Do they really expect people to notice it, pull out their phone fast enough, and scan it? Or do they expect people to watch it on a computer where they can pause it, in which case why not just use a link?

And they were debating whether to get the iPhone X or not due to the price. I asked them how much did they spend on IAP per month?

Small numbers can add up. That’s natural human mindset - feel less stressed when not paying $10k buying IAP, but need to make thorough decision buying a $1.2k iPhone.
