All this vinyl crap in preorder content is just another gimmick that these big corporations use for nostalgia baiting. That's all companies do nowadays to attract customers, grown adults who miss the "good o' days" and teenage hipsters that think the past was better than current times.
Personally I've never really been one to listen to game soundtracks anyway. And certainly not in a way that'd lend itself to the vinyl experience i.e. slow down and absorb an entire album. If I want to get lost in a great game soundtrack to that degree I'll just play the game
With that said, I did very much enjoy the collection of sea shanties that was included with my copy of AC:Black Flag years ago. If I had that on vinyl I'd probably give it an occasional spin just for fun

@JaxonH 2022 is a quite strong year for Nintendo Switch( full of GOTY potencials games(Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Bayonetta 3, Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak, Bayonetta 3, Neon White, Mario+Rabbids Sparks of Hope and Xenoblade Chronicles 3, let see how the 2023 line up for Nintendo Switch is gonna turn be), @Skywake Nintendo should have put the soundtrack of it games on Spotify or create something similar to it, they are missing a huge oportunity in not using the amazing music many of it franchises have to many people enjoy it
It's only just hit me a few days ago but it's mad how we're getting a new Fire Emblem, a remake of a highly well-liked Kirby game and a sequel to one of the most beloved Square Enix RPG's all within 2 months, isn't it? And then a sequel to bloody Breath of the Wild 3 months after!

I prefer the upcoming 3rd party games than 1st party games on Nintendo despite I still looking for games such as Kirby Return to Dreamland Deluxe as the Wii version on Ebay got inflated price.

I did live in Madison at first, but had a neighbor who would argue with his girlfriend at 3am, nearly a dozen raucous kids dragging bats on the wall at midnight. Was so sleep deprived I moved back to the town my family lives at. As much as it would be convenient, I like it in this town of 25k ppl rather than in Madison which is a much bigger city.

I swear next year is giving me budget anxiety. So many games (plus anything I didn’t buy this year), the eshop closing on wiiu (more concerned that my JPN collection is up to date) and I’m fully expecting to have to shell out for an OLED switch and CE of TotK.
@Rambler My issue with publisher provided mp3s is A) might be protected or locked to a storefront and I need my music to be portable B) I don’t usually use .mp3 and can’t be sure of the bit rate the publisher will offer. C) download may expire. I feel the same about Digital Artbooks. If I can just download it anywhere that is fine. If not, that’s a rental to me.
@JaxonH I don’t hate it but it’s not practical in today’s world. Physical is usually gonna be CD. I don’t even own a turntable (won’t need one until my mother passes her collection to me which I better hope I can even find one then. My mom better have another 30 years in her.).

@Ryu_Niiyama well i only planing to buy Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom next year, unless Metroid Prime 4 or the rumored 2D Donkey Kong game developed by Nintendo EPD 8 also release next year.
Thinking about grabbing some Final Fantasy games on Switch. Thinking of grabbing 12 as I know it is controversial and it is one of the few post 7, pre 13, I haven’t actually finished. But I am also thinking of picking up some of those earlier ones, but I think I remember reading somewhere on here that the Switch ports aren’t the best? Is that right, or has it been fixed now? Are there any I should avoid?
@Pizzamorg XII would have to be my third favorite behind XIII and IV. The only issue with XII is that it was made much easier because it's the international version of the game. As far as bugs, I think VII had a progression bug and a music bug. I know the music bug was fixed but I'm not sure if the progression bug had been?

just got Pokemon Shield from Walmart earlier today since im out of town for the christmas weekend staying over at my sister's place.
Even though Im busy at the moment with Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Violet, ill be playing a little bit of Pokey Shield and put some pokey in Home for trade evolutions if that works somehow if you do it by yourself?
It's sort of a shame Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia was released on 3DS instead of Switch. I started playing it recently, and it's actually a pretty incredible experience so far. Love the character designs, the grounded storytelling, the cool dual-protagonist dynamic, the strong voice acting, the dungeon exploration, the beefy world map, the point-and-click gameplay in towns, etc. It feels very proto-Three Houses in certain respects: the third-person exploration, Mila's turnwheel, the lack of a traditional weapon triangle, etc. But, if I'm not mistaken, it released soon after the Switch hit the market, so most people just sort of ignored it like they did with most late-gen 3DS titles.
Also like Three Houses, the map design isn't great, unfortunately.
Otherwise, this sort of thing is EXACTLY what I want from the series. Hopefully it bodes well for the Genealogy of the Holy War remake that's supposedly happening.
@Ralizah
I beat Fire Emblem Echoes when it initially released. The game was neglected by many with Switch being the hot new focus, but it's a really good game.
The voice acting in particular is exceptional. Love Alm and Celica. Story was good. Obviously it's a remake of Gaiden so the maps are beholden to original design. But aside from that it was a really solid FE.

Quick question that I'm currently blanking on: when putting the SD card into a Switch in order to get back all your screenshots/videos after a transfer, do you need to turn that Switch off beforehand? I know you need to do it when removing an SD card but I'm curious if the same is true for putting one in. The SD card already has thousands of screenshots/videos for added context. If anyone here could reply ASAP, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Man, I'm super impressed with Crisis Core on Switch.
I actually think it looks better than Final Fantasy VII Remake on SteamDeck, even despite being set to high texture and shadow resolution. Basically, I've got settings maxed out on Deck at native 720p, and for some reason it looks blurrier than Crisis Core on Switch. Hair has just as much artifacting as well. Not that it bothers me, its just interesting to note it's not any better in that respect.
