It was already getting one as a preorder bonus for the gold edition at Gamestop. Not sure if this is the same one or a different variant. This is EU though so it's good Europeans can now get their hands on one.

No gyro aiming in Prodeus at launch, so I guess that's out for now. The developer didn't rule it out in a future update, so I guess I'll reconsider it when the time comes that it's added.

These developers not including gyro aiming at launch in their shooters must be seriously out of touch with the Switch playerbase.

They're delaying the Switch launch anyway. Ought to just delay it until they manage to add in the feature.

I didn't remember this until I actually played it, but the original Doom on Switch has gyro controls, which just amuses me. It's a lovely addition, especially for a game that has already had like a billion console ports.

It's a cool thing to have but I genuinely keep forgetting about it and keep playing it without intentionally using it. I guess because its such an old game that modern control ideas don't even come to mind all that much.

So we're all talking about gyro now

I just bought Disney Dreamlight Valley...... Instead of Pokemon Scarlet

@kkslider5552000 To be fair, gyro aiming isn't all that useful in games without free aiming.

DOOM 2016 benefits massively from the addition. But OG DOOM? Nah.

@Ralizah
They are out of touch.

I saw that post and told em it's an expected feature, and a dealbreaker for many, myself included.

If anyone here values gyro aiming, I strongly suggest leaving a reply to that tweet letting them know it's a dealbreaker for you.

This new Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope has masterpiece written all over it. Previews coming in are positively glowing. A true evolution over the first game.

Everyone sounds super impressed with the presentation. I think it says everything that people thought early trailers for this game were running on upgraded hardware. There's a level of visual polish in M+R 2 that seems to rival the best of Nintendo's output.

I will likely get all of squeenix's output for the rest of the year, just doubt that all of it will be day one. trying to get my budget back under control.

If John Leguizamo doesn't get a cameo I will be disappointed.

Disney Dreamlight Valley is eating up my time lol.

After playing for more than a few hours, I'd say this is a solid game. I can also see how this will be a F2P game later down the road.

8.3/10 So far.

Awesome interview with David Soliani. They also specifically ask him about the rabbids and the fact some really don't like them. His response is fantastic and what I expected too. They changed them and toned them down starting with Kingdom Battle. He says Ubisoft took them too far previously and he reigned them back in.

Which I wholeheartedly agree with. As strange as it sounds, I went from hating Rabbids to absolutely adoring them after Kingdom Battle.

@Ryu_Niiyama
budget under control

Heh, that ship sailed a long time ago lol

@JaxonH that dude is awesome!!!

@JaxonH I’m trying. I’ve cut myself off from buying new statues (except the BOTW statues by f4f), mostly staying away from CEs and trying not to buy day 1 (pushes diofield out of eyesight). After I finish my AV set up (new tv, new receiver and maybe some headphones) and a new punching bag that’s it for big ticket items. I just wanna save for a house/condo and stuff my 401k. Just got my car fixed with outstanding major repairs. I’m trying.

Of course watch Nintendo make a TotK OLED and CE and blow my budget to Termina and back. I’m just waiting on Black Friday. I will pad out this year’s games I missed and hopefully be able minus FE and Zelda to limp to next Black Friday. (I know Ima crack, but let me believe in myself right now).

@JaxonH
I think Rabbids are not a bunch of annoying creatures when they got the right roles.
It was like when Rabbids have better manner and intelligence, they turned into serious characters.

@Ryu_Niiyama
Those F4F are crazy expensive. I could never afford a F4F habit. I keep it strictly Switch games, Switch CEs, amiibo and statues for Monster Hunter, Xenoblade and Fire Emblem.

I know the struggle. I spent waaaay more than I usually do this year, and noticed my bank account draining a couple thousand dollars more than usual every few months. Had to grab cash from the emergency stash and re-up with a large deposit, and may have to do so again next month.

I'm just counting down the months to Switch 2 when I make the full switch to digital and stop double dipping with physical + digital for every game, plus Collector Editions. That's what's killing me. I'm about out of space in the gaming room, and even with my current salary I'm watching my bank balance slowly drain lower over time , so that's my signal to wrap it up after this generation. Just 1-2 more years. Almost there!
