Is NoA still fixing Joycon drift for free? I did it once back when it became the big thing and it was a good experience getting it done, but now another one is drifting and getting to the annoying phase. And unfortunately my son broke our other left Joycon so we'll be without one for a couple of weeks, but it's still better than not being able to move down at all and my characters always flying up whenever they can.

Finally bit the bullet and ordered 3D All Stars since it's literally going out of print by the end of tomorrow anyway

It's not like the artificial scarcity thing didn't fly with other people because it absolutely worked so might as well. Galaxy in bed sounds cool though

@TheFrenchiestFry If you've seen Mission: Impossible - Rouge Nation you'll understand what I mean when I say that I can draw heavy parallels between that and you.

In case you don't, and don't mind spoilers, the villain takes one of the main characters hostage and straps him to a time bomb. The protagonist manages to convince the villain to let the man go, and he stops the timer with just over a second left.

Is anyone else in gaming nirvana on dat Switch right now? Last night I played the first episode of Panzer Dragoon remake, a couple runs in Hades, and I would have played a bit a RPG Maker MV as well...but I passed out from exhaustion (work has been kicking my booty as of late). Woke up this morning, played a bit of Full Metal Furies and Gems of War. Things are pretty sweet at the moment, but MHR isn't even in my hands yet, and the release schedule for April and May are looking amazing for my taste in games.

EDF: World Brothers, R-Type Final 2, Atelier Mysterious Trilogy, SMT III Remaster, etc.

Life...is good.

@TheJGG Yeah I guess 3D All Stars is Benji and I am Ethan Hunt in this situation

@Magician How's Full Metal Furies? I'm midly curious about it however it seems like it's one of those games I will think about buying but probably never will.

@jump

I like it quite a bit. It's this weird action / roguelike blend of a game. Some folks call it a beat'em up, but I would classify it as just an action game as half of the playable characters use melee weapons and the other half use ranged weapons. I've played up to the second boss and have already hit a difficulty wall, it's challenging. I'll probably have to replay the one stage that hands out a decent amount of currency over and over again just to grind out the progression necessary to move the story forward.

@TheFrenchiestFry Not quite. Benji is Super Mario 3D All Stars, Ethan is Nintendo, and Solomon Lane is... you!

Ethan’s convincing you to get the game, at its peril.

@Magician Yeah it's the oddness of the game that caught my eye originally. It sounds alright but still not a must play for me right now.

The games (3D All Stars, SMB35, FE1 localization) are fully delisted at midnight local time, checked the UK eshop and they're gone now. SMB35 shuts down completely at midnight pacific time (less than 8 hours away).

Gone but never forgotten...

@Magician
You already know.

Monster Hunter Rise alone is giving me the best gaming experience I’ve had in my life (not even kidding- they say your first MH is your best experience, and while that has been true up til now with MH3U, I must say that MH Rise is far exceeding it).

But as if that weren’t enough, I look at my Home Screen and see Persona 5 Strikers right next to it. Then I see Bravely Default 2 next to that. And Super Mario 3D World next to that. And Crash Bandicoot 4 next to that. And Sniper Elite 4, and Ori Will of the Wisps, and I recall that Trails of Cold Steel 4 is shipping out next week, and then New Pokémon Snap, and then Shin Megami Tensei III, and then I recall Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1/2 and Ys 9 is still on the way, and Mario Golf, and Zelda Skyward Sword, and Monster Hunter Stories 2, and Shin Megami Tensei V and Rune Factory 5, and Neo: The World Ends With You.

And then I remember that next year, I’ll be playing Splatoon 3, Zelda Breath of the Wild 2 and Monster Hunter Rise Ultimate on an OLED Switch, with Metroid Prime 4 right around the corner.

We’ve had some ups and downs over the past 10 years. Anyone who was here during the Wii U era knows that well enough. I still have nightmares of Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival. But today, this very moment, is probably the happiest I’ve ever been since picking up video games as a hobby. And I fully intend to savor it.

@DarthNocturnal
There was that “leak” saying they were revamping their Nintendo online VC and this was just an attempt to cash in before the change.

Who knows if there’s any validity to it. It could just be a pile of manure. But it does seem a little suspicious with both games being pulled the same day. Idk. Not that it matters to me one way or the other because I bought them day one anyways. None of this affects me, so I just don’t have the energy to care.

@JaxonH What would revamping online VC mean in this case? Personally think they would want to try and cash in on a similar Zelda collection before any revamps took place knowing they can easily sell a few million of that too.

@Giancarlothomaz A Ridley crossover monster would be epic. They could even do Samus gear with a light bow gun Samus gun. If Nintendo does do a crossover though, I could see just doing like a bowser (just in the rise art style) and Mario gear, and if they don’t, time to dip my toes into modding haha.

Looked a bit more into Astria Ascending. It appears this is Artisan Studios follow up to Super Neptunia RPG. Hmm, I thought the art style and combat system were familiar somehow. Anywho, Super Neptunia was an above average rpg romp. I assume AA will be received about the same as that game was, despite the immense talent of the scenario writer, Kazushige Nojima.

The inclusion of my all-time favorite composer Hitoshi Sakimoto here certainly heightens my interest in this game. I'd wishlist it on Switch right now if I could.

@FragRed
The way the leak made it sound is, they weren’t going out of their way to cash in. If that were the case, they’d never get around to revamping their VC service and would just sell collections til the end of time. The way they made it sound is, they are revamping their service but it wouldn’t be ready until the middle of this year, so they took the opportunity to release these games in the meantime, but aren’t going to delay the updated service just for the sake of releasing more limited collections. According to them, the goal was never to release limited collections, the goal was just to release it because they had a bit of time in the run up to the revamp.

But again, that could be BS. We’ll find out in due time I’m sure.

Is anyone playing Aeolis tournament online, i tried to get a online game going for 2 hour's but no one showed up, it was released july 2020 so maybe no one plays it anymore or just maybe no one is playing it, i do not know why these game's have online play and no one is playing them.🤨
