Never. They will actually only start to increase in price as time goes on.

Remains to be seen what exactly this will amount to. My guess would be...not much.

I'm just wondering if there's going to be enough different between 2 and 3. I'm sure people that are really into Splatoon already know more or less what to expect for the next game.

At this point if Ten cent wanted to enter the console market they definitely have enough IPs to make quite a few exclusives for it. Who knows? That might be their plan...with a heavily regulated marketplace to boot.

There was a YouTube channel that used to post the final bosses for every major release within a couple days of the game's release complete with community post screenshots that you couldn't avoid seeing. I unsubscribed and this is also the reason I stay away from Twitter fandoms for these games, so I will give praise for them trying to curb people spoiling things, even if it might be ineffective.

Does the Twitter mob even buy products? Are they actual humans? Sometimes it seems like they are just an entity that moves from one controversy to the next being perpetually angry and upset about things.

Seems to me that it is their attempt to appease the Twitter crowd. Two things they need to learn however. 1) You can never satisfy Twitter. 2) Twitter users never go out and consume product. They just complain until they bend something to their will before moving on and finding the next thing to complain about.

Maybe a few years ago I'd agree but longevity of a game seems to be everyone's focus now. If each iteration only seems a few new weapons and a few modes then I'd say no. That doesn't warrant a new game. Just tack it onto the game that is already there. Like how Warzone and Fortnite do it. I don't play those games but I will say that that solution is probably better than making a new game every couple of years where it feels like you need to "start over" with content when the basic idea of the game is still the same. In other words, unless there are some wildly new mechanics that would warrant the change and couldn't be added to what's already there, yes, five years is probably too short a wait.

I'm going to be excited until they inevitably announce it will be a F2P game.

Not gonna give it a view and risk having them think people want more of this stuff.

I no longer get excited for live adaptations of games I enjoy. Luckily for me, I can always go back and replay the old games corny dialogue and all.

Mario Kart Wii is probably the most mechanically sound game. Horribly unbalanced but if you play the meta then you're in for a treat. The unparalleled modding support is another feather in its cap.

@MaxiPareja the problem is how much they're asking for a product that clearly wasn't given the time and care if needed.

That and the fact that they made it difficult to play the old games in other ways by delisting them. It seems they tend to do that when they know their version is worse.

@5th313ment I think you sent that to the wrong person.

@Abeedo I know right? The whole idea of "Apex Legends" comes from the mercenary group, the Apex Predators from the Titanfall universe. Such a shame that franchise always seemed to come out at the worst possible times.

I consider the GameCube custom robo a hidden gem. If you somehow ever come across it you should definitely pick it up.

Then again you should definitely pick up most GameCube games you manage to find.

Viva Pinata but it's a mobile gacha game. 😧

@westman98 yep, people seem to be making a mountain out of molehill here. Mario Kart Tour sucks anyways.

I hear that pretty much all versions of this are terrible. Best bet is to get the original PC release.

Very fun game, beat it but didn't complete it. If they knocked off a few hours of the total length I might have 100% it. As it is it just wears out its welcome imo

They're a ten but they got fired for making EA look bad.

Scalpers don't have jobs. Going out and clearing out desired games and then reselling for a much higher price is how they make a living...and I hate it.

Don't worry it'll be on the steam deck

Gameplay wise it was fun, if a bit too easy to break with the right builds. Story wise, it felt like a convoluted mess up until you get to that last section and everything comes together. I think I'll remember the ending for the rest of my life.

Two point hospital was great in that it didn't suffer the usual switch woes of having to sacrifice something to be on a handheld/console hybrid. The devs seem to know how to optimize for the platform well, so I'll keep an eye on this one.

Smart plan to get weebs to watch Sonic the Hedgehog 2 either again or for the first time by adding a super popular Vtuber.

"Don't worry guys, Microsoft bought them so they're going to turn the company around!"

Or they just wanted a piece of the rotten pie.

Xenoblade makes the most sense to me, with the sheer number of blades in XC2 alone.

Ebay Game resellers: Allow us to sell you that game you want for 3x the price!

@SeantheDon29 I am definitely planning to buy a steam deck and the power of its emulation is one of the many factors. Once I get one in my hands it will undoubtedly replace my switch as my travel companion.

@Degenerate_Mii
I don't play Smash Bros online lol

There hasn't been a game out there besides Monster Hunter Rise that has made me want to pay the $20 to play online, so I don't pay it.

@SteamEngenius I mean I'd definitely be willing to "rent" Fire Emblem path of radiance instead of pay upwards of $260 for a physical copy.

If Nintendo included GameCube games on the service, and they're some of the rarer games, then I'd definitely subscribe...and I'm not a NSO member right now.

Considering that practically every GameCube game nowadays is worth nearly as much as it did at launch and oftentimes a lot more, he does have a point. People WANT to play these games. People WANT easier access to them besides paying reseller prices for them online. If Nintendo cares about legacy gaming at all they'd have offered these games to us by now.

Another day of investors who just blindly throw money at game companies yet don't understand how the industry works. Devolver has a solid looking year ahead of it with a bunch of great games on the horizon, I'm sure they'll continue to be just fine.

One has to wonder how a character like Duke Nukem will go over in today's world. I know he's ridiculous to the point of parody but for people who have never heard of the guy before? I'm sure his views on the world will be quite a shock.

And Stardew Valley looks like Harvest Moon. He really should change some things.

And when next it becomes available it will sell out once more in a couple minutes.

Why does it feel like, nowadays, there is never enough of anything made to satisfy the demand? How have we still not solved the scalper situation?

Keighley's Paycheck Presentation

Why, so we can make sure we understand the story? Is that even possible with a game like Bayonetta lol

Now it'll take them a week to crack the device.

Perfect timing for PlayStation plus subscribers since they get the game "free" tomorrow, little incentive for anyone else.

Nintendo Exec: Good thing they don't expect us to actually provide a stable service. Just tell em we'll get to it when we can...I'm gonna take a nap.

Even if this one is good, it's just too much. Too much Pokemon. I'm surprised this series never suffers from franchise fatigue but I'm all Pokemon 'd out.

The thumbnail to this article is accurate.

Luigi: Us, enjoyers of Nintendo music.
Mario: Nintendo listening to our music, glaring angrily and preparing the copyright claims.

@Korgon To be fair, how much of the stuff that gets announced at the show actually winds up on switch? This is why everyone waits for the directs, they know exactly what they're getting there.

@RubyCarbuncle Wasn't really trying to change your mind but alright, just saying that Nintendo has been pretty arrogant lately just like Sony. It happens when any big company starts raking in cash. Google, Twitch, Netflix...once the money starts flowing then customer service starts tanking. I'm not here trying to say any of them are worse than the other, just that once they're making tons of money customer satisfaction seems to become secondary until they piss off the fanbase enough that they're back to being "for the gamers."

Oh Level-5...how far you have fallen. I'm actually quite sad to see what you have become...

@RubyCarbuncle Funny because I feel the exact same way about the arrogance thing from Nintendo. No company seems to try very hard when they're coasting off success it seems. Nintendo tried really hard after the WiiU didn't do nearly as well as they hoped but after enjoying the success that they have with the switch they seem to be resting on their laurels. Same for Sony coming off their incredibly successful PS4 era. The only ones that really seem to be trying is Microsoft after they never fully recovered after the launch of the XboxOne. Love em or hate em they're kinda killing it with Gamepass and their acquisitions (which are honestly ultimately unhealthy for the games industry).

Tldr I guess, Success breeds arrogance. Companies need to suffer failure to be kept humble.

You'd think they'd put this on a steep steep sale to nab as much money as they can before it's pulled from the service.

I don't think calling it "metaverse" was the right move...and it's not like Elden Ring was the first game in the franchise to do the messages thing, that's been around since the beginning of the franchise.
