Alla mina förbokade spel (2018-06-10)

Ja, nu är jag tillbaka och skriver på svenska igen. Nu kommer jag hålla mig till detta, det är ju möjligt det kommer ett och annat engelsk inlägg ibland. Om det är något jag vill ska nå ut till en större massa. Men har bestämt mig nu, tycker det är roligare att skriva på svenska och även om det resulterar i lite mindre läsare så får det väl vara så.

Inlägget innan detta handlade om samma sak, men det har hänt lite och blivit en eller två ändringar i förbokningarna. Så ville köra en uppdatering på det, plus att jag får börja om med ett svenskt inlägg om spel. Hehe. Nu byter jag inte mer, så ber om ursäkt till dom som tycker det varit jobbigt. Men nu kör vi på. :3
 

Shining Resonance Refrain

Release: 2018-07-10 | Köper till: Nintendo Switch

Har sett smått fram emot detta sedan det släpptes till PlayStation 3 i Japan, men nu en generation senare kommer det släppas till Switch, PS4, Xbox One och PC i väst.
Detta spelet verkar gå i ett musikaliskt tema och det älskar jag! Vapnen på karaktärerna är också ett instrument av diverse slag, någon har ett svärd som också är en elgitarr. Awesome! Känner man sig osäker på spelet så kan man testa den demo som kommer släppas till Switch, PS4 och Xbox One den 12 juni. Om Switch demot flyter på bra så kör jag på den versionen, annars kanske jag ändrar min bokning till PS4.
För övrigt gillar jag verkligen Taka Tonys artstil, speciellt hur han rita älvor… Mmm.
 

Octopath Traveler

Release: 2018-07-13 | Köper till: Nintendo Switch

I börjar var jag inte så intresserad av detta spelet, brydde mig inte ens om demot som finns. Men så ville en kompis testa det och även jag föll lite för det då. Gillar verkligen denna 3D pixel stil eller vad man ska kalla det. Jag hoppas det kommer bli bra, känner mig väl fortfarande lite orolig för spelet, men jag tror det kommer kännas hur bra som helst när man väl spelar det. Kommer börja spela som dansaren Primrose! <3
 

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

Release: 2018-07-13 | Köper till: Nintendo Switch

Ett av de spelen jag helt ignorerade till Wii U. Tyckte inte det såg speciellt roligt ut och det tycker jag väl lite nu också faktiskt. Men jag ska ge det en chans, tror nog jag kan uppskatta det mer nu än jag hade gjort förr. Det ska bli spännande, för jag har ju hört en hel del bra grejer om spelet åtminstone.
 

Dragon Quest XI: Echos of an Elusive Age

Release: 2018-08-04 | Köper till: PlayStation 4

I februari gjorde jag ett stort Fokus inlägg om detta spelet, så är ni intresserad av att läsa vad jag tycker så kan ni läsa om det här. ÄR så oerhört glad att vi fått lite mer info sedan det inlägget, vi har fått ett release datum och de har bekräftat att spelet kommer innehålla röster. Något som jag verkligen hoppades på, nej det finns inga Japanska röster för det finns ingen japansk dubb. Det engelska blir original dubben. ;)
 

Spider-Man

Release: 2018-04-07 | Köper till: PlayStation 4

Spider-Man är nog ett av de spelen jag ser fram emot mest i år eller som jag hoppas mest på ska jag kanske säga. Håller tummarna på att det blir ett riktigt bra Spider-Man spel, det ska högre makter veta att det finns det inte allt för många av!
Det blev snabbt en förbokning efter att dom hade visat spelet första gången, så ser fram emot att få svinga runt i storstaden med Spidde snart igen.
 

Kingdom Hearts III

Release: 2019-01-29 | Köper till: PlayStation 4

Äntligen har vi ju fått ett datum på Kingdom Hearts III. Nu återstår det ju bara att se om det kommer bli försenat. Igen. Tyvärr kommer det inte i år som det sades från början, utan vi får vänta tills slutet av januari nästa år. Ska ska jag äntligen återvända till Sora, Kalle och Långben och resa runt i nya världar och träffa gamla Disney vänner.
 

Super Smash Bros Switch

Release: 2018-??-?? | Köper till: Nintendo Switch

Här är ett spel jag är väldigt spänd på! Har inte spelat ett Smash Bros spel sedan Melee till GameCube, så jag har missat en del. Så det blir ju att ta igen det nu! Själv hoppas jag ju på att vi får fler Xenoblade karaktärer i Smash. Hade gärna sett Elma från Xenoblade Chronicles X med i spelet. Fler kickass brudar tack!
 

Pokémon: Let’s Go Pikachu

Release: 2018-11-16 | Köper till: Nintendo Switch

Är försiktigt optimistiskt till detta spelet, ett Pokémon spel som är lite mer bundet till Pokémon GO kan nog bli intressant. Om inget annat gillar jag verkligen artstilen på spelet. Gillar ju själv att dom går tillbaka till Kanto och de första 151 Pokémons.
Slutade ju spela Pokémon efter Gold & Silver, så blir en nice nystart för mig att komma tillbaka till den delen jag känner till bäst.
 

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

Release: 2018-??-?? | Köper till: PlayStation 4

Vet väl inte om man riktigt ska räkna detta som en förbokning då det är en Kickstarter jag varit med och bidragit till, men vafan. Den får vara med ändå! Har längtat efter spelet sedan jag såg det för första gången på Kickstarter, har ju velat ha fler “Igavania” spel. Dom har sagt det kommer i år, så jag hoppas det inte blir försenat igen. Får helt enkelt hålla tummarna, annars får jag väl trösta mig med att ytterligare en försening bara gör det bättre… Eller hur?
 

Yoshi

Release: 2018-??-?? | Köper till: Nintendo Switch

Med E3 bokstavligen runt hörnet, lär vi ju få se mer av spelet och mycket troligen få ett release datum och spelet fulla namn. Ser fram emot detta då jag hade trevligt med Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze. Saknat denna typen av spel, sedan tycker jag just Yoshi spelet ser både kul och charmigt ut.
 

My preordered games of 2018 (So far)

Well I posted to separate posts before of the games I have preordered so far this year. And since those lists now has changed a bit, I thought I’d update them and put them in a big post instead. Some of the games have been released, others I changed my preorder for and some new ones have been added to the list.
 

Shining Resonance Refrain

Release: 2018-07-10 | Buying for: Nintendo Switch

I’m not sure how many Shining games we got outside of Japan, at least the none SRPG ones. Not so interested in those myself, but I’m very interested in this title.
Firstly I really like Tony Taka’s artstyle, especially how he draws elfs. Mmm…
But it looks like a fun JRPG, with battles in the vein of the Tales of games. And it’s based heavily around music and the characters weapons are also instruments and that is very intriguing to me.
 

Octopath Traveler

Release: 2018-07-13 | Buying for: Nintendo Switch

I wasn’t very into this game from the start, but the more I saw and saw of my friend trying the demo, it sold me on the game. It looks charming and at the same time I feel relaxed and happy when I see the sprites in this game. Time will tell if this preorder was a wise one, since I’m still a bit on the fence about this one.
Sure, Shining Resonance might not be a wise buy either. But I’m taking my chance with both and I hope they’ll be great.
 

Dragon Quest XI: Echos of an Elusive Age

Release: 2018-08-04 | Buying for: PlayStation 4

Back in February I made a bigger post about this game, but in Swedish. If you are interested to see my thoughts about it, you can read it here. Well since that post we’ve actually gotten a release date, it will come out in the beginning of September, more precise the 4th. God I’m looking forward to this! So glad they are adding voice-acting into the version in west. And some other fixes.
 

Spider-Man

Release: 2018-04-07 | Buying for: PlayStation 4

Another one of those games I’ve been looking forward to since it was announced and as soon as we got the release date I quickly preordered it. It’s a shame it will be released 3 days after Dragon Quest XI, that means I’ll probably have to wait a bit with DQ before I start it, because I want to give it my complete focus.
And the same with Spider-Man.
 

Kingdom Hearts III

Release: 2018-??-?? | Buying for: PlayStation 4

Kingdom Hearts… Well what can I say?
Supposed to the end of Sora’s story arc and hopefully tie some of the story together in a good way. But I’m mostly excited for the new worlds, Toy Story, Monsters Inc, Tangled, Big Hero 6 to name a few. With rumors of this one release around November, this will be my Christmas game this year. Just like the first game was, all those years ago when it released.
 

Super Smash Bros Switch

Release: 2018-??-?? | Buying for: Nintendo Switch

Can’t wait to see more from this game! The last Smash Bros game I played was Melee for the GameCube, so I’m really itching to get back into the fun. Keeping my fingers more Xenoblade representatives joins the battle, would love to see Elma from Xenoblade Chronicles X appear in the game. Either was I preordered this was as soon as I knew it was available for preorder. Now like with all other stuff in here, we play the waiting game. (Do I need to preorder that game too?)
 

Pokémon: Let’s Go Pikachu

Release: 2018-11-16 | Buying for: Nintendo Switch

This is going to be somewhat exciting. A Pokémon game that is a bit tied with Pokémon Go. Which I actually tried for the first time last week. Haha.
I think it looks good and Gen 1 is a bit closer to my heart than all the new Pokémon stuff, so I’m looking forward to heading back to Kanto and see if I still have some love left for Pokémon. :)
 

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

Release: 2018-??-?? | Buying for: PlayStation 4

This isn’t really a preorder? Or is it? Either way I’ve been waiting for Bloodstained ever since I donated to the Kickstarter and hopefully nothing happens and we’ll finally see a release this year. Well I’m really looking forward to getting a new “Igavania” like game, it could actually be one of the games I’m looking forward to most this year. I’m also thinking about buying a second copy of the game, since my Kickstarter copy is a PlayStation 4 version, I might buy a Switch version.
 

Yoshi

Release: 2018-??-?? | Buying for: Nintendo Switch

With E3 around the corner, we will probably get the full name and release date of the game. Really looking forward to try this, had a blast with Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze, so I really want to go back to these kinds of games. I think it looks fun and charming.
 

This is Pokémon for Switch & it’s coming this year!

So apparently why I was a sleep Nintendo decided to announce the two Pokémon versions for Nintendo Switch. As been rumored for a while the titles are
Pokémon Let’s Go: Pikachu and Pokémon Let’s Go: Eevee.

The game looks so much better than I thought it would actually, for me who had my Pokémon glory days with Blue, Red and Yellow this title really speaks to me. Since it seems like it’s the original 151 Pokémon, plus the Alola forms and a new never before seen Pokémon. And we’ll be returning to the Kanto region, seems like a perfect fit for me. I’ll miss some of my favorite Pokémon from Gold and Silver. But perhaps they’ll update the game to add more Pokémon in the future?

Here are some of the features for the game

Sure the game is taking a bit of (okay a lot) inspiration from Pokémon Go, but I think it works out pretty good. In the video at least. Perhaps this will be the time I finally try Pokémon Go? We’ll see. If this isn’t to your taste, they are releasing a real mainline Pokémon game next year. It will follow in the same style as X, Y and Sun, Moon.

Here are the lovely box arts for the game. Which version are you getting?

Before I end this post I’ll leave you with one more thing, the game will be released on November 16th. So it will be a bit of a blast to the past for me again.

Some stuff I’ve bought

I usually don’t post stuff anymore of what I’ve bought, but perhaps I’m going to start with that again. So here are some of the stuff I’ve bought since mid April.


God of War was fantastic! And one of the best games I’ve played this year and in fact the game that got me out of my gaming slump. I’ve felt like no other game really mattered after I finished Xenoblade Chronicles 2, so I’m glad to be back again. I had Dragon Quest Builders for the PS4, but wanted to play it on the go instead. And I wanted it on the Switch, because I’m going to buy Builders 2 for the Switch if it’s released in the west.


I’ve owned .Hack G.U Last Recode before but traded it away. Not it seems like it’s harder to get a hold of, so I snagged a copy again. Been wanting to try the Yakuza series and see what all the fuss is about. Just have to get some time to be able to play it too…


Since I was never a fan of the Wii U, I missed out of a couple of great games. And since I love my Switch so much, I was going to fix this little problem. The problem of missing certain games of course. So far it’s been fun and a bit frustrating, but it’s nice to play a Donkey Kong game again. I’m going to try and buy every Wii U game that is ported to Switch. So perhaps it’s time for Captain Toad next time.

Games I’ve preordered 2018 – Part 2

Here is part two of my series of preordered games. It’s not the games I’m looking forward to in 2018, but rather I’ll talk about the games I’ve preordered and are coming out this year. If nothing happens to delay them, something I can’t foresee when I’m writing this. I’m splinting this into multiple posts, just so one post doesn’t get to long an clotted. AS of now there is no part three, but I’m guessing that will change after E3.
If any of the games there will be released this year.

Darksiders III

Release: 2018 | Buying for: PlayStation 4

While I do not know much more about the game beside the title and that we get to play as the third horseman (woman) Fury. I’m just glad the Darksiders series is back and I sure do hope this does well so we can get a fourth game with Strife.
I’m just hoping in style and quality this title is more like the first and much less like the second one..
 

Super Smash Bros Switch

Release: 2018 | Buying for: Nintendo Switch

Can’t wait to see more from this game! The last Smash Bros game I played was Melee for the GameCube, so I’m really itching to get back into the fun.

Games I’ve preordered 2018 – Part 1

Now to something a bit different but still a bit familiar. This time is not a list of games
I want, but games I’ve preordered. So this time around it’s not the games I’m looking forward to in 2018, but rather I’ll speak a bit of the the games I’ve preordered and are coming out this year. If nothing happens to delay them, something I can’t foresee when I’m writing this. I’m splinting this post up into parts of 5 games per post, so it doesn’t get to clotted.
 

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

Release: 2018 | Buying for: PlayStation 4 (Maybe Switch)

Firstly we’ll start with something that isn’t really a preorder? Or is it? Either way I’ve been waiting for Bloodstained ever since I donated to the Kickstarter and hopefully nothing happens and we’ll finally see a release this year. Well I’m really looking forward to getting a new “Igavania” like game, it could actually be one of the games I’m looking forward to most this year. I’m also thinking about buying a second copy of the game, since my Kickstarter copy is a PlayStation 4 version, I might buy a Switch version.
 

Donkey Kong County: Tropical Freeze [Switch]

Release: 2018-04-05 | Buying for: Nintendo Switch

I never was a fan of the Wii U, so I skipped a bunch of games on the console. But this time around with the Switch I’m going to buy as much of the games Nintendo put out.
I really want to support them. So I’m extra glad they are releasing Tropical Freeze, so I a Wii U deserter can have a chance to play this fun looking game.
 

Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition

Release: 2018-05-18 | Buying for: Nintendo Switch

Hyrule Warriors was one of the titles I actually played on Wii U, but got a bit pissed when the 3DS got a version with a whole lot of improvements. That Switch owners where locked out of, but they are finally fixing this little misstep (IMO).
With the Switch version is brings the best of both versions of the game.
 

Shining Resonance Refrain

Release: 2018-07-10 | Buying for: Nintendo Switch

I’m not sure how many Shining games we got outside of Japan, at least the none SRPG ones. Not so interested in those myself, but I’m very interested in this title.
Firstly I really like Tony Taka’s artstyle, especially how he draws elfs. Mmm…
But it looks like a fun JRPG, with battles in the vein of the Tales of games. And it’s based heavily around music and the characters weapons are also instruments and that is very intriguing to me.

Sure, Shining Resonance might not be a wise buy either. But I’m taking my chance with both and I hope they’ll be great.

New Rare Blades in Xenoblade 2

So I woke up this morning not feeling all to well, must have been something I ate.
But pretty quickly my queasiness turned into excitement. Because I woke up to news that we are getting two new Rare Blades. This Friday, the 27th! Oh happy days!
Well that in itself is good, but what really got me excited was that one of these Rare Blades are T-elos from Xenosaga Episode III! YEAH!!
More Xenosaga characters in Xenoblade. So happy with this news and I just love Kouichi Mugitani (CHOCO) artstyle so damn much. Really happy to see him getting more of his designs into Xenoblade 2. T-elos will be available to all who has finished the game and its said to have a pretty high rate of appearing in a Core Crystal.
I sure hope so, wouldn’t want another KOS-MOS grind on my hand.

T-elos is making an appearance! I Love CHOCO’s artwork.

The other Rare Blade that has been revealed is Poppi Buster. A clone(?) version of Poppi that any character can use. She is exclusive to those who buy or have bought the Expansion pass. This Poppi is a bit more yellow and seems to have an antenna on her head. Oh and right, she has her own freaking mech! Probably where the “Buster” part comes in!

Poppi Buster ready to SMASH!

Either way Poppi Buster is looking rather cool! Well at least the Nopon like mech is, she will be obtainable via a quest ingame. Man I’m so looking forward to getting back into this game again, it feels like it never stops giving.
I guess that’s why I’m having such a hard time to let it go. They also said they have finished voice recording for a new Rare Blade that will also be released, a bit unsure if it will be coming with this update or at a later date.
I sure do hope T-elos will be using the scythe in the artwork, really looking forward to add her to my group. Bring me more Xenosaga characters MonolithSoft and Bandai Namco, or even better. Bring me a Xenosaga HD Collection.
