We won't know who we're getting until after the draft because they're sacrificing all the best QB2 options for the sake of waiting for a comp pick in next years draft. That's what KAM gets for selling the farm to bring in what few good draft choices he's made, now he's trying to recoup what few picks he can get from anywhere. He's lucky he's a master of the free agent market, because outside of last year he's made only one really good draft choice (Jordan Addison). Jury's still out on last year.

EDIT: That said, I do like KAM overall, he did a great job cleaning up the salary cap hell Rick Spielman left for him while keeping us competitive, and he is indeed a master of the free agent market. He just needs to improve his drafting skills.

Outrage farming is getting really tiring overall, not gonna lie. It's OK, everyone, we can feel other things aside from angry and life will go on.

I've just seen a bunch of videos about it, haha.

The one notable time I can think of a game trying the dual perspective thing with the gamepad was Star Fox Zero at the end of its life cycle, and it was not received well at all because it made the control and aiming way too complicated since it was too much of a challenge to try to look at both screens at the same time. Can't think of another game that tried something like that, but I did see a good number of games that used the gamepad for inventory, like the Zelda games and Monster Hunter.

Lack of advertising and its business model of the hardware basically being produced by licensees tacked on to other electronics products of the time ended up crippling consumer awareness, and the price point was the big nail in the coffin, at roughly $700 in the early 90s you really had to commit to wanting one. Unlike most other console companies, 3DO couldn't afford to sell the hardware at a loss because they didn't have much, if anything, for first party games to make up for it. It had some games that look like they'd be decent, at least a better quality library overall than arguably the Jaguar and definitely the CDi, but it's that tough cycle in gaming where you need good games to sell consoles (especially at $700, in any time) but third party devs won't make good games for consoles that don't sell.

TBF, the poor sounding soundtrack was likely as much to do with the GBA hardware as the music itself, they did what they could with the GBA's God-awful sound chip. The type distribution isn't great but Diamond and Pearl's in Gen 4 is even worse (Platinum fixed it in Sinnoh though).

This looks like any Nintendo launch lineup I can remember: one "big" game they think will draw people in just for that (in this case Mario Kart) and not much aside from that. The fact we're even getting more than one additional first party title is comparatively impressive, but overall Nintendo launch lineups are pretty much always sparse. I think you're right and we'll see the "real" launch window lineup around the holidays.

I like big content and I cannot lie, you other brothers can't deny

I recently purchased a copy of Alpha Sapphire since I haven't finished a Hoenn playthrough yet. Looking forward to finally finishing a Hoenn region run!

I admit I haven't played too much of either Dragon Quest or FF. I have a bit more experience with FF (I've at least started playing 1, 7 and 10). I've only played Dragon Quest III, currently going through its HD-2D remake and enjoying it decently enough. If I like it enough when I finish it maybe I'll pick up I and II as well.

This, and it's THE big traditional JRPG franchise in Japan itself, as big as or bigger than Final Fantasy. FF just happened to have more worldwide appeal.
