Summary: <p>Who saw this one coming? Not me for sure. This Nintendo Direct blew everyone away with huge JRPG announcements. Two in particular rose above the rest. After many months of speculation, the Chrono Cross Remaster rumor turned out to be true. It's coming in April to the delight of so many. The other blockbuster news was the reveal of Xenoblade Chronicles 3. It's only just been announcement but is coming this September to the Switch.</p> <p>But Nintendo wasn't done there. Earthbound, an all time JRPG classic is now available on Nintendo Switch Online along with Earthbound Beginnings. A Live a Live HD-2D remaster is coming to the west for first time and looks very good. Triangle Strategy is getting a new demo you can check out now and carry over your progress into the final game. It's hard to imagine a bigger or better showcase, we were blessed with this one.</p> <p>We had plenty of other news to cover even before the Direct, which means a nice long podcast for your listening pleasure. In podcast news I'm going to make the switch (see what I did there) to Friday releases. Seems like the right thing to in the moment, after a few recent delays and missed news stories. It's not the first time I've moved days, and might not be the last. So look for new episodes each Friday and Sunday Specials about every two weeks (two a month).
