I just hope 2023 is half as good as this year. I think it will be. New Fire Emblem, new Pikmin, new Zelda, new Octopath Traveler, new Trails game, a quality 2D Kirby remaster, classic ports like Persona 4 Golden and Tales of Symphonia... throw in a Metroid Prime remaster, a new DK game, Advance Wars, some quality desired ports like Batman Arkham Collection, and we could have ourselves a decent year. Not 2022 level, but still quite good.

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.

Oh, I don't mean vinyl has a better audio quality than CD - that way lies madness, and heartbreak.
I mean CD-quality audio Vs audio output at a higher range and bitrate. After all if the actual music is recorded DD (as in DDD, ADD, AAD, AAA) it will be dithered down for CD. Why not just get a version of the orig file?
Personally, I don't actually care about audio quality that much - too many loud gigs and club nights have affected my ears. Plus .mp3s are cheaper than FLAC files

However, if you are playing a big amount for a special edition, vinyl - whether you have the equipment to play it or not - as an artefact will be a much better than CD, if it comes with a download. And that download should be better quality than .MP3. You're paying a load of money for some additional stuff, after all.

But - but!!! - Ryu's point about backups is possibly an argument winner. Plus it's a lot easier to rip from CD than it is to burn to one

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.).

Those are definitely concerns, and they shouldn't be, if the publishers were being fair.
I'm sure Bandcamp and Bleep are totally DRM free?

Edit: maybe this is now something for the chit-chat thread

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?

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.
