@Cotillion@Octane It blew up on Reddit, with the top page on R/NintendoSwitch dominated by geese fanart for awhile. I've seen it on Twitter, Discord, and even had someone text me a Facebook post about it. Compared to what most games get, it's a heck of a lot.
I'm still 100% convinced Untitled Goose Game is a stealth viral marketing campaign masquerading as a video game.....There's a marketing genius (and a lot of money) behind it's rise, I guarantee you. Remember the thing has a governmental backing.....It's a cute game...but this odd virility smacks of strategy and subterfuge.

@DarkRula It's not getting interest for doing anything new, it's the general idea that matters more than the gameplay. Being an angry goose is something that's easy to communicate, novel, and interesting, thus leading it to propagate social media far easier than something like Ori which has incredibly deep themes and gameplay, but looks far more intimidating to try and understand.
Considering Ori is a four-year old game I think it's fair enough that Untitled Goose Game is getting more attention. Ori is a fantastic game, don't get me wrong, but Goose Game is completely new, has a very original and easily communicable premise, and looks like a really fun game (I haven't played it myself but I want to).
Thank you Nintendo for giving us Donkey Kong Jr Math on Nintendo Music
@DenDen for sure. Vice city was cool. Only played a little of San Andreas. I played a ton of 3 and the original. I think the last time I played a gta game was vice city if I recall. So 3 would be welcome for me.
@Magician The worst part is that they're not even, like, the most recent 3DS/Wii U games. They're really random ones that you could buy cheaper physically anyway.

@magician, I honestly don't know how much my wallet can handle but I have a feeling that spyro, skyrim, and for sure a bunch of third parties will be lowering prices. In the U.S. at least I think that bestbuy always has the best deals so I'll definitely be loading up on some games. (I missed out on Odyssey so I think now would be time to pick it up and give it a whirl)
I don't like Monster Hunter.

I'm probably listening to green day right now.
@Lucarianzx Wal-Mart is becoming the go-to for new releases. I've noticed any game over $30 is about %15 off on avg. For instance, $60 games are always $49. $50 games are $41. $40 games are $32. Then it pretty much stops there but still. Im hoping yooka laylee will be $32 for physical at Wal-Mart. I don't know if they're selling it though, But im guessing they will.
@NintendoByNature, yeah I see where you're coming from BUT bestbuy has price matching and I have a card so in the end I personally would be better going to bestbuy as I get some money back. But I guess Walmart still is good and is way better than gamestop.
I don't like Monster Hunter.

Mary Skelter 1+2 is getting a physical release via Limited Run games! Preorders open Nov. 26th. Of course Fairy Fencer F got one through LRG also, but that was a crap port I hear with lots of issues. So I passed.
But Mary Skelter 2 (with the first game included) all on cart? I thought the first game would forever stay trapped on Vita’s cartridge. Also, preload goes live a week prior to launch with a 20% discount that runs up until a week post-launch.
