Right on! Paper Mario coming in just 2 months! And Luigis Mansion right after that. Bet. Ive been waiting a long time for this. I remember playing TTYD on my Win 2. Trying to get saves to swap back and forth with my desktop. Enough of that. I can't believe we're actually gonna have Thousand Year Door AND Mario RPG remake AND two Mario Rabbids srpgs on one hybrid system. It's mindblowing.

Unicorn Overlord is so insanely good btw.

@skywake
No, I'm assuming it will be capped at this capacity, since that's what the article stated.

It's just not fitting the bill for other potential hypothetical handhelds. Timing doesn't line up, size doesn't line up. I concede it could be a thousand other things, but Deck 2 and MS handheld ain't one of em.

It appears that unanimity has been achieved, as 100% of the participating voter concurs with my perspective.

@JaxonH
The article didn't say that though. It's an announcement of the first card. A 256GB SD Express XC microSD card rated at speeds of upto 800MB/s. By definition any device that supports that card will support any microSD card upto a capacity of 2TB (XC) at speeds upto 985MB/s (SD Express)

The capacity and rated speed of this specific card is irrelevant to the devices that'll support it. Other than the announcement of that capacity at that speed now existing. I don't see how the capacity of this specific card somehow rules out portable XBox. And I'm not sure how you've come to the conclusion that, if used, it would not be for supplemental storage in addition to some more durable internal storage solution

@skywake Much like with my job, I should just keep to myself, because trying to input anything just ends up backfiring

Nintendo's revealed the Switch TTYD box art.

Mustn't grumble, I know, but... the voice work for Mario at the start of this video is.... *shudders

Can they not just AI Charles Martinet's voice in perpetuity and save us from this nightmare? It sounds like they just pulled in someone from the street to have a go.

LM2's boxart has been revealed.

Welp rolled end credits on Unicorn Overlord and got both endings. I don’t know what day it is.

@Ryu_Niiyama Sounds like you really no-lifed that game lol.

So there's multiple endings?

@Ralizah ugh I didn’t even mean to. It just turned into “oh I’ll play a little while I do laundry…or in between washing dishes.” And since I had liberated most of Cornia in the demo I was on a good pace.

I had really optimized my team so I went to a a stronger part of the map (didn’t realize that until I got there) and accidentally over leveled. Plus since I was obsessed with posting guards i got lots of supplies that I kept turning In which made getting honors easier so I could max out my squads. But what got me was the coliseum. I used that to figure out best builds for my squads and how to grind (you don’t get exp there luckily) so by the time I beat the grand champion I had also found the best stone sigil. Which gives out 50k exp each time you beat it.

So then I got curious as to if I could beat the boss. I did but found out that was the bad end. But you are allowed to keep your clear data so I just did what was needed for the good ending. Aside from a few story complaints it was a good run but I have towns to liberate and weapons to unlock and upgrade.

Problem is this is the closest I will ever feel to a hangover. Everything is blurry today. But I can’t take off. Whoops.

@Ryu_Niiyama So you don't have to replay the game to get the good ending? That's a relief.

Yeah, almost universally, the one major complaint about the game seems to be about the story.

@Ralizah yeah the game is good with clear data usage. There is some post game content but it also allows you to replay the final battle as well.Even lets you cut to the back half of the fight. You can redo the ritual as well.

Uh, I am not bothered by the stuff most folks are bothered by. They do a lot of exposition dump in game so the overall story is fine (plus I read the library entries). The thing everyone is complaining about is actually incorrect in game and it’s sorta funny watching the reviewers harp on it especially now that I know the game can hit end credits in 40-45 hours. Because I am starting to wonder how long they played (or if they skipped cutscenes).

The plot is little predictable, enough that I guessed a major plot point (just not the location), but it is coherent and entertaining enough. My issues are more with the main character and the ritual bond. I am just at the point that "17 year old boy can save the world" is really is really a plot device I am very apathetic about.

I swear ios 17 broke auto correct.

MH Stories now has a release date, June 14th!

Maybe ill grab that. Still haven't bought 2, but better to start with 1 anyway I suppose.

@Grumblevolcano Do you happen to know if the first MHS has online co-op like MHS2?

@PikaPhantom Sounds like Pokemon Works is going to be the remake studio then and Pokemon remakes are going to be in the usual 3rd Friday of November slot (November 15th this time).

@Grumblevolcano That's a massive jump to conclusions there. Pokemon Works being a studio for remakes seems plausible (but obviously unconfirmed), concluding that there will be remakes released this year is not.

I'm pretty confident that if Pokemon remakes were releasing this year, it would've been announced in the Presents. And before you bring up Detective Pikachu, that game had already been announced previously and was a spinoff; I highly doubt TPC would allow for a mainline entry to be held back for a Nintendo Direct.

@Grumblevolcano @IceClimbers
It could also be a combination of both of these things. i.e. there is no Pokemon game this year BECAUSE they are restructuring and giving that task to this new studio

Remember us saying this game was coming like, 3 years ago when there was a Gamestop listing lol? Sure enough here it is.

Ya know, I like these kinds of AA experiences. Stuff like Wreckfest, AEW Fight Forever, Biomutant... these are the games offering diversity.

I'm gonna check this one out for sure.

@IceClimbers
Didn't you know that's Stretch Armstrong in the flesh? They've been known to reach across the entire kitchen table 😀
