I'm excited to play it even if some elements of Echoes of Wisdom look like Tears of the Kingdom but top down. The Still World has me most intrigued. I always love second overworlds in Zelda games.
The Grand Festival was amazing. I spent 15 minutes just basking in the glory of the Splatoon idols performing on stage. I thought the hub was also a nice reference to the Splatoon 3 reveal trailer. It was an amazing send-off to the first decade of Splatoon. Here's to many more.
I have so many good memories playing LeafGreen on my GBA while my brother played FireRed. They set the bar high for Pokémon remakes, and they're my preferred way to revisit Kanto.
I'll be picking up the physical release although I'm not a fan of the recent trend of physical releases of some games coming months after they're released digitally.
@Maxz Thanks. You make an excellent point about language localization being the bottleneck for modern games being more readily accessible to audiences. I think at the very least first party games from the Big 3 should be playable in English with how big the English speaking audience is, but I know that having French, Spanish, and arguably German helps to reach more players in Europe, Canada, and Mexico.
Oh man, Rachael was one of the voice actors of my childhood. May she rest in peace.
And I hope any women reading this get mammograms ever year, especially if they're above 40. Early detection leads to much higher cancer survival rates.
@jedgamesguy 2 million in a slow quarter is still good. Most consoles sell most in the back half of the year. 150 million Switches by the end of 2024 is all but guaranteed which leaves sales of only 10 million more needed, and the 3DS sold 9 million after the Switch released.

GG Team Ninja. We wizards tried.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo To Lean On Third-Parties For Switch Support In 2025

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library With Two More Titles
F-Zero Climax finally releasing outside of Japan is huge.

@tabzer Well, that's a bummer.

Re: Soapbox: Splatoon 3's 'Grand Festival' Was The Perfect Goodbye
The Grand Festival was amazing. I spent 15 minutes just basking in the glory of the Splatoon idols performing on stage. I thought the hub was also a nice reference to the Splatoon 3 reveal trailer. It was an amazing send-off to the first decade of Splatoon. Here's to many more.
Re: Splatoon 3's 'Grand Festival' Splatfest Kicks Off Tomorrow, Which Team Gets Your Vote?
I'm interested in seeing how the world of Splatoon would look like in the past so that gets my vote although future is tempting as well.
Re: Anniversary: Pokémon FireRed And LeafGreen Turn 20 Years Old In The US
I have so many good memories playing LeafGreen on my GBA while my brother played FireRed. They set the bar high for Pokémon remakes, and they're my preferred way to revisit Kanto.

Re: Poll: Good-Feel's Goemon-Inspired Switch Game 'Bakeru' Is Out This Week, Are You Getting It?
I played the first two levels so far.
The combat is really fun, and I love how you have to explore the levels thoroughly to find all the secrets.
Some of those fun facts that you can find being toilet humor related caught me off guard, though.
Re: Super Mario Party Jamboree Will Include Pauline As A Playable Character
Pauline is the new Rosalina. She'll be in many Mario games for years to come.
Re: Upcoming Tactics Game 'Warside' Sure Looks Familiar
This looks so much more like Advance Wars than Reboot Camp.
Re: Review: Castlevania Dominus Collection (Switch) - The Strongest Konami Compilation Yet
Konami continues to deliver with their Castlevania collections.

Re: Reaction: Shadow Drops & Surprises - A Stuffed Direct With Something For Everyone
The variety in the Direct was good even if only a few games personally interested me.
Re: 'Power Stone' Is Coming To Switch In 'Capcom Fighting Collection 2'
Love that Capcom keeps bringing out the collections.
Re: 'Tetris Forever' Compiles More Than 15 Titles In A New Interactive Documentary
Another fantastic collection to add to the Switch library.
Re: 'Castlevania Dominus Collection' Brings Three DS Classics To Switch Today
@anoyonmus I would say Advance Collection first since Dawn of Sorrow is a sequel to Aria of Sorrow.
Re: 'Castlevania Dominus Collection' Brings Three DS Classics To Switch Today
This was the biggest surprise of the Direct for me.
More Castlevania on Switch is always a good thing!
Re: Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Punches Up September Release
I'll be picking up the physical release although I'm not a fan of the recent trend of physical releases of some games coming months after they're released digitally.

Yes! So glad to see developers embrace Wario Land's classic gameplay.

I'd love to see a Star Wars Rogue Squadron collection.
Re: Valkyria Chronicles Remastered Scores A Limited Run Switch Release, Pre-Orders Live
The standard edition is sufficient for me.
Re: Pokémon Partners With WildBrain To Stream First 22 Anime Seasons
This is such a weird place for the Pokémon anime to end up. I imagine WildBrain must have shelled out a few million.
Re: Atsuko Tanaka, The Japanese Voice Of Bayonetta, Has Passed Away
Rest in peace to an amazing voice actress in videogames and anime. She voiced Flamme just recently in Frieren. Such a sad loss.
Re: The Plucky Squire Physical Release Announced
I'll be picking it up physically.

This game looks absolutely gorgeous.
Re: Good-Feel's Goemon-Inspired Switch Game 'Bakeru' Is Getting Localised
@Maxz Thanks. You make an excellent point about language localization being the bottleneck for modern games being more readily accessible to audiences.

Re: Good-Feel's Goemon-Inspired Switch Game 'Bakeru' Is Getting Localised
Good news. Releasing games in only one region should be a thing of the past.
Re: Pokémon Community And Voice Acting Industry Pays Respect To Rachael Lillis
A ton of 90s and 2000s kid are indebted to her for great childhood memories. Thank you, Rachael.
Re: Rachael Lillis, Voice Actor For Pokémon's Misty And Jessie, Has Passed Away
Oh man, Rachael was one of the voice actors of my childhood. May she rest in peace.

Re: Capcom Wants To Revive All Of Its Legacy Fighting Games On Modern Platforms
Capcom is one of the best companies at putting out collections right along with Sega. I definitely want to see more of their retro catalog.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch 2D Platformers
You guys have put Horace as well as Spinch on my radar.

Glad I held off until now.
Re: PSA: Get 50% Off 'Mushihimesama' Before Its Switch eShop Delisting This Week
Bought it 2 days ago for full price because I wasn't expecting a last minute sale. Oh well.
Re: Switch On Track To Surpass PS2's Lifetime Sales In The US
@jedgamesguy 2 million in a slow quarter is still good. Most consoles sell most in the back half of the year. 150 million Switches by the end of 2024 is all but guaranteed which leaves sales of only 10 million more needed, and the 3DS sold 9 million after the Switch released.
Re: Switch On Track To Surpass PS2's Lifetime Sales In The US
The Switch is a force of nature in North America and Japan. Now Nintendo just needs to make itself more competitive in Europe.
Re: Iconic Publication Game Informer Is Closing Down After 33 Years
My older brother was still reading physical Game Informer magazines. It's a shame to see another gaming magazine bite the dust.
Re: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door And Luigi's Mansion 2 HD Both Surpass One Million Sales
Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door on Switch almost surpassing sales of the Gamecube version is good news for the franchise.
Re: Review: World Of Goo 2 (Switch) - A Superb Sequel With A Few Sticking Points
I'm surprised this game wasn't advertised more considering how big the original was on Wii. This is a wait for a price drop for me.
Re: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Cheerleader Physical Edition Pre-Orders Now Live
I spent a lot of money on the 360 market place closure so I'll let my wallet cool off for 2 weeks or so before ordering this.
