People have been predicting this and Metroid Prime trilogy every year, for the past couple of years. Even if he's right (which he's likely not), I'd be a fool if I got excited for something that has consistently proven to be false.

@NikHogan @Hero-of-WiiU It was just some person unnecessarily bullying another person for something off topic, and all comments whether they were bullying the person, or defending the person were removed. Disrespecting others comments were likely removed for bullying, while off-topic comments were removed for arguing against the bullying.

@Caryslan That's what I was thinking. It seemed like a roundabout way to say cultural differences.

@Pj1 Here in Ireland it's about the same. At least until the digital sales, then digital becomes a lot cheaper (physical switch games never go on sale here).

@Moonsorrow999 It's not that they didn't do research. All these links are affiliate links, so they get a cut of the sales. Basic marketing dictates that they convince you to buy it.

Edit: I'm not a UK resident so I don't know the full extent of things, but a quick Google search shows that most of these games are at least £5 cheaper than major UK retailers such as Argos or Game.

The Crayon Shin-Chan game looks really good so it would be a shame if it never released in the west. It may be a niche game, but the localisation of Doraemon: Story of Seasons has given me hope that my favourite Japanese characters to finally arrive on western shores.

I actually got a wii u at launch. I remember being disappointed at New Super Mario Bros. U (probably my least favourite game of the series), but I loved Nintendo Land. Possibly one of the greatest party games I've had. People certainly seemed to have more fun with it than Mario Kart and Smash Bros.

My biggest disappointment however had to be buying digital games during the launch window of the Wii U. Trine 2 and Chasing Aurora were games that looked interesting, but really felt like filler until the good games released. My experience with those was why I refused to buy into the hype with launch games like Snipperclips, games that would likely be regarded a lot less highly had people had something else to play other than Zelda.

Anyone know what this is also known as?

Why does the soundtrack sound like Balan Wonderworld

Klownami has a nice ring to it.

Wish we had more gameplay, or even footage in general. It's difficult to know whether this game is worth buying, or if it'll just be a flop.

@Fizza Well I don't know about Monkey Island, but I played Ron Gilbert's Thimbleweed Park, and I found it hilarious. It does have some fairly obtuse puzzles, but luckily they decided to put in a robust hint system to negate the need to use google. I can imagine that the Monkey Island games would be harder since they lack this system, but at the same time you can use Thimbleweed as a starting point to gauge if you'd like to continue with the genre.

Super Mario Run walked so this can, well... run

I don't even care if this sucks as long as the costume design is accurate to the games and doesn't try to go the realistic route.

Never have I cheered so much at a headline, then immediately screamed at the subheading.

I'll believe it.

Right now I'm playing Knights of the Old Republic. I find most older 3D games usually age very poorly, so I'm surprised to see myself loving this game. The story is intriguing, the voice acting is great, and it really feels like you get to discover an incredibly interesting world. Also the combat is not as bad as I thought it would be, so that's great too.

@Royalblues I thought Pokémon always looked very anime. I think up until gen 6 all the designs had been aiming for a cool, hip anime aesthetic that appealed to young boys. I think now the demographic has changed a little, and all the character and Pokémon designs are more cutesy and adorable, possibly to appeal more to the growing female demographic.

I never even knew about this in order to forget it.

The banjo fans are going to be all over this lol.

Imagine if she was secretly a scalper and she sold the rest on ebay.

It has an interesting looking art style, but this is the type of game whose quality hinges on its writing, so I'll wait to see the reviews.

@somebread That's good then. Look forward to picking it up.

Anyone know if this was better than Wandersong? The writing there was decent but I felt like it could've used a bit more refinement.

@Rin-go Are you talking about Liam Robinson? If so then I agree. I actually got blocked by him earlier today on Twitter just for defending the validity of a leaker (in a non harassing way mind you). Although leaking can spoil reveals for people, he is definitely worse the people he targeted with some very aggressive a
behaviour.

Honestly I don't feel this Game Awards felt any less relevant than years prior. Maybe for people who are Nintendo fans, but that's because nothing that would interest them was shown.

He's no Jon Arbuckle, but what can you do 🤷

@ValZ It's Gary Bowser, not Doug. They share no relation except their name.

@RupeeClock Tom and Jerry had crossovers far before that. 2011 had Tom and Jerry and the Wizard of Oz. Before that we had 1962's Dicky Moe (Moby Dick), and 1952's The Two Mouseketeers (The Three Musketeer's). Obviously Tom and Jerry has become less creative with their crossovers, but they have existed for a while.

@CharlieGirl Tbf we haven't played the game so we can't really say if the game feels like it's being released in an unfinished state.

Ah yes, Fortnite... The greatest video game of all time...

@Sahnec If that's what you feel then go for it. There are just a lot of people who feel like the game looks lacklustre, especially for the price point. Considering how the remake costs at least 15 dollars more than the originals, it's reasonable that some fans would expect more than what they see as the bare minimum.

@Sahnec I mean there is an expectation that the remakes will be better than the games that came out over a decade ago. Even if it wasn't advertised, people have a right to complain if the game's quality isn't matching up to the generation it's adapting, especially when the previous remakes (omega ruby and alpha sapphire) contained elements of emerald within it.

@CharlieGirl Ironically the fresh coat of paint makes it look even more dated.

@Ragdoll72 but I didn't mention gamefreak...

Smh, lazy devs.

@wanghosom no

@Jevarel Not true. I and many other people sunk in hours and hours into ps plus games like rocket league, fall guys, uncharted 1-4, The Last of Us, Bloodborne, The Bioshock Collection, Borderlands: The Handsome Collection, Star Wars Battlefront 2, Titanfall 2, the Batman Arkham games, Yakuza 0, etc. Whether you want to admit or not, you are getting crazy value as opposed to receiving the same old roms over and over again.

@Clyde_Radcliffe Yes but the fact remains that it really doesn't cost that much to rerelease n64 games, considering the fact that they're just roms that Nintendo has uploaded. As a consumer you have to support the best deal for yourself, not make excuses for the company. Nobody makes excuses for Nokia being worse than Samsung by saying, "It's not their fault their phones suck. They're a much smaller company." Nintendo is technically the richest company in Japan, so even if they're not as diversified as their competitors, they are able to invest in better online infrastructure, and can make this online expansion pack cheaper. Otherwise there's nothing stopping people from subscribing to superior services.

@Clyde_Radcliffe In that sense it's not expensive. But if you look at what the competition is doing, the value is far worse. With Nintendo you get a bunch of poorly running roms of games that are almost thirty years old, and that people have been subjected to many times before, while with playstation and xbox you get games that are relatively modern every month, that likely run a lot better. If Nintendo were following the competition they would release switch games onto the service, including some of their first party titles, and they would also fix their online. Since they aren't doing that it's only fair that consumers criticise them for making a service far inferior to their rivals for almost the same price.

@mother_brain_85 But I said in my comnent that I 100 percented the game twice.

Tbh as someone who played it for the first time last year I have to say it is very overrated. Obviously many people have nostalgia for the game, and that raises it's level greatly for them since in 1996 this would have been the greatest game of all time. But playing it compared to modern standards there is so much things that I noticed don't hold up. The camera system, the variety in each levels, the same music tracks in every level, these are things that would greatly improve in future games. I didn't just slightly dip my toes into the game too, I went full in. I 100 percented the game on wii u last summer, and after thinking that I may have been the problem due to different expectations I 100 percented it again in 3d all stars. After that my opinions ended up solidifying. If this game came out today it would at most get a 7/10.

My mom used to watch Grendizer when she was a kid. It's crazy to think that this property will probably outlast her life by a wide margin.

@Ryu_Niiyama No it is reality. Next time don't oversleep during internet orientation and you'll know that the internet is a little something called "horny".

This just really makes me miss Lego Dimensions. Wonder if we can get a revival without the toys to life aspect. Probably not but a man can dream.

Can't wait to see it win most categories in the game awards.

@Divinebovine Sadly they don't
