Digimon Con 2025: TIME STRANGER NEWS!!!

[Chaos 混沌 カオス]

https://youtu.be/9TEMidXyhbQ

Some setting and main character intro. More pictures of the playable character.

450 mons in the Field Guide. Check the video for some of the new mons shown.

Most mons' signature skills are reused. Lucemon FM can now use paradise lost.

No release date yet. Sadly.

Release date isn't announced. Which means I'm gonna assume it's no sooner than fall of 2025, likely closer to Christmas.

I'll then be curious if this would be so much of an improvement of CSHM it's worth a full price purchase.

That cybersleuth OST hit hard. It's so good, hope the OST in time stranger is just as good

Went back and watched the final few eps of Frontier the other day acutally, and I can't get over the fact that it's just Freeza beating up Naruto and Saiki.

Yeah, hopefully. I didn't check who's in charge of the music.

Bandai has a weird history with Digimon con where they could have announced something there but chose to have it be revealed at an event later. It's what happened with Survive. VERY little info at Digimon con and then 2ish weeks later we have a trailer and a release date that it's dropping soon.

Might see a repeat here with Time Stranger and Switch 2 Direct on April 2nd.

YOu think it's because those 2 weeks just happened to make the difference where the info wasn't available to info became available on the company end?

I don't want to expect more actual new news on 04/02 and then come up feeling Digi-conned when it was nothing.

It'll be masafumi takada, same one who worked on CS and HM

I think they just wanted the new trailer for Survive and the release date to be a bigger event. TBF they would be correct, showing a new trailer for this w/ release date at the Switch 2 event or at the Summer Games fest would probably get wayyyyyyy more attention

Hang on, they're able to promote a multi-platform game on a Nintendo event?

Switch 2's reveal event should have a lot 3rd parties, most directs do. No 3rd parties are allowed to confirm games coming out on Switch 2 until the event airs though.

Assuming they even are going to release it on Switch 2.
Given the Palworld patent lawsuit by Nintendo, Bandai might have taken one look at that mess and said "Screw that! Nintendo is likely just going to steal our game's mechanics, patent it, and then turn around and sue us for using our own code."

Bandai and Nintendo have a good relationship (they developed Smash Ultimate and a few other games) and the Switch 2 will be able to run it. We also have a history of Digimon games on the switch with Survive, Next Order and Cyber Sleuth Complete Collection.

0 reason to doubt its going to hit that platform

I bought Switch 1 on day 1 back in late 2017 when it came out in my country along with Xenoblade 2 (good waifus, questionable game mechanics).

And I really can't bring myself to care about Switch 2. Probably not a day 1 buy for me if even I get it. I probably will though if whenever Xenoblade 4 comes out, in spite of the disappointment that was XB3.

You've quote responded to the resident racist (unironically too, check his post history) who has me on his block list, but 100% he clicks "show" every time he sees one of my posts. 🤣

Anyway, just a heads up. You decide if he's worth your time.

While I don't expect the game to be resource intensive anyway, we do have to have the perspective that CSHM were PSV games first. Which means I kind of want this one to be at least 2~3x more expansive. While it being on NS2 means it's probably gonna be accommodating to roughly last gen level, it'd be a bit of a letdown if this game turned out to only be as big as CSHM.

Not asking for a Xenoblade or a Switch Zelda level of massive, but still.

Maybe.
On the other hand, Nintendo has been going crazy in recent years (well, crazier than usual), so things may have changed.

I guess we'll find out after this Direct thingie.

The Palworld stuff isn't any different than Nintendo of the past, they have a working relationship with BandaiNamco and Bandai even handles the Pokemon toylines from time to time, there is nothing to worry about lol
