I’m dying for October to come too. Monkey Ball and Metroid Dread back to back with Shin Megami Tensei V in November.

The wait would be unbearable, except we have so many games dropping right now my head is spinning trying to keep up with them all. Between being hooked on Monster Hunter Stories 2, Great Ace Attorney, Zelda Skyward Sword HD and Neo TWEWY, it’s hard to choose what to play each day. Okami content drops in MH Rise tomorrow also, btw. As if we didn’t already have enough as is.

At this rate, the next few months are gonna fly by.

@Wavey84 Do you have a Wii U? Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission are both on its eShop, they're considerably cheaper there.

@Wavey84 Ah, I see...I know that feeling, I've sold some of my games and consoles long ago and I regret doing it, lol. I did hear that credit card usage will be eliminated in Japan (on 3DS and Wii U), but that's it right now. I haven't played Minish Cap that much, I should give that a full playthrough sometime. I've finished Fusion and Zero Mission and both are excellent Metroid games.

what could be Zelda role in Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild 2?

@DarthNocturnal @JaxonH

Yup, October releases are out of control. Even though I just played through the base game a week ago, if the Dying Light leak is legit, that release will be a highlight of my 2021. And that's before SMT V, Metroid Dead, Monkey Ball, and Fatal Frame: MoBW.

Meanwhile, i bought Switch games very few during this year (3 games so far) as i found a lot of Wii games i want to buy during this year and currently have purchased more than 12 Wii games until this month. I have some changes in purchase planning.

I'm looking forward more to September to be honest, sure October and November's lineups are better but September has general Direct which puts September higher overall. As long as Nintendo doesn't put too much focus on the final Smash character, it should be a good Direct.

I love announcements, but I look forward to playing great games more than I look forward to learning about them.

And tbh, right now, this very day, is one of the absolute best for playing games. Monster Hunter Rise Okami crossover, Monster Hunter Stories 2, Zelda Skyward Sword, Neo The World Ends With You, Samurai Warriors V and Great Ace Attorney Chronicles all vying for playtime.

I am looking forward to the onslaught of Sonic Colors, WarioWare, Mario Party, Super Monkey Ball, Metroid Dread, Advance Wars and Shin Megami Tensei V though.

Can’t confirm for you people in Europe but in NA Nicalis decided that the physical edition of Binding of Isaac repentance is exclusive to their store.

Feel like that’s a recipe for the game becoming rare

@Grumblevolcano Well the last two directs started out with showing off the next DLC fighters, but I don't think they spent too much time on them. They really only go more in depth with them on Sakurai's live broadcasts. I wouldn't worry about that honestly.

@Duboiss
Gosh dang.

They want $60 for it and another $10 for shipping? So a $40 game for $70, and you can't get it anywhere else?

Unreal.

@JaxonH

?

Binding of Isaac Repentence was listed on AmazonNA for the longest time. Recently delisted though...for whatever reason. Perhaps not enough preorders? Anywho, the original AmazonNA listing was $60 as well.

@MarioLover92 February 2021 Direct handled Smash very well, reveal trailer and that was it. E3 2021 despite being a very good Direct did spend too long on Smash, moveset being saved for the Sakurai Presents video would've flowed better.

@Grumblevolcano Oh yeah, that was because it showed off a bunch of Kazuya's moves in a quick fashion I think. I guess it just didn't feel that long to me or something.

I should have waited before buying Super Meat Boy physically for a hefty price.
Limited Run will reprint it. Got the newsletter today...

@Magician
I know it was, but I figured that was just a placeholder. Even if it wasn't, that still feels like too much. But $70 for an indie game seems absolutely absurd. And I rarely, if ever, care about price. Yet even for me that total shook me to my core.

@Grumblevolcano i expect that the septembre 2021 Nintendo Direct is gonna focus heavily on Metroid Dread.

Do nintendo do switch releases by weekly or monthly ?😵

What do you mean ? 🤔

I love this controller display stand for joycon. It even has a notch in the back for the straps to tuck into so it seats flush.
