AnnoyingFrenzy

And then there's me, who didn't even know there was a Wi-Fi 2 through 5.

Out of curiosity, does anyone here actually browse through digital storefronts to find games? I ask because I never do. With the exception of Steam Discovery Queue, I always get games based on advertising, word of mouth, reviews, "hidden gems lists" etc. etc.

Kind of neat information, adding Brothership and Jamboree to wikipedias list of "Best Selling Switch Games" confirms at least 99 games that have passed 1 million on the system. 21 have passed 10 million. 9 have passed 20. 4 beyond 30. 2 surpassed 40 and of course MK8 passed 50 AND 60. Very impressive.

@OorWullie I suppose you got me there, Pikmin or Metroid Prime with mouse control could be nice, but it just does not look like a good option regardless to me, purely due to form factor. Unless they release a standalone mouse accessory like on the SNES lol

I just don't see that many games utilizing it because wouldn't that force the player to have access to a flat surface for put the joycon on? Not to mention that game would not be able to be played handheld. And I don't know anybody that was like "Man, this form fitting mouse for my computer is too sleek, wish I had a hard uncomfortable rectangle to slide around my desk instead." Perhaps someone else can explain the angle where this would be useful? Because I just can't see it.

You can definitely see how its built upon 8's foundations, just like how 8 was off of 7, but it still looks like its going to be its own thing.

Now the question is if people are able to be patient for the April blowout.

Echoes of Wisdom was better than Tears of the Kingdom and I will die on this hill.

Last thing I want is for Sony to get Spike Chunsoft man....

This was done because of Shadow of Erdtree and Geoff is a FromSoft simp that wants senpai to notice him. There were plenty of massive epic game expansions and DLCs prior, so why now? I personally have never taken The Game Awards seriously, theyre just glorified ads, and this is another step in affirming that opinion to me.

Only one of their games I played was the Sexy Brutale and that was a gem of a game. Truly a shame more talent was lost.

@LavenderShroud @BTB20 The second Series X is last week's sales numbers. My guess is that they accidently added another line instead of deleting the last one when updating the chart.

Okay, but I have a deep seated need for Rhythm Heaven

Keanu Reeve's checking his notes: "Edgelord."

Nintendo with the random twitter drops again. Nice.

@Gatorclops first thing that came to my mind was "ain't no party like a Donner party."

What a nothing story. Whether the emulator is open-source or not its Nintendo's own ROMS running on them. If you could prove Nintendo had taken the roms from a pirating site maybe youd have something to say, but Nintendo using an emulator (which is something they've done numerous times at this point) means literally nothing. Not surprised people are complaining about it though, these days people will look for any excuse to get mad at corpos for internet brownie points. I am surprised this was turned into an article for clicks though. Guess it worked.

@SleeplessKnight True, but bigots that judge based on appearances are the biggest weirdos.

@SleeplessKnight I agree, people that like going into articles just to complain about others that play games they don't comes to mind.

@Kidfunkadelic83 There are certainly some things that could be samey, like the boats on the deck and tiling the floors for the cabins, but since you have two people working it shouldn't be too bad.

I'm sure she'll appreciate the cost-effectiveness of the gesture! Make sure when you give them to her again you say something like, "These roses symbolize my love, while it may appear at times to be broken down, it will always be rebuilt anew in your presence." and then watch and avoids you the rest of the day from cringe.

@Kidfunkadelic83 That one does look like a really fun build. Very vibrant and full of life for a lego set. I wish I had more space (and money) to get all these sets. My personal favorite build has to be the Lego Titanic. Takes up a lot of space and is very expensive, but watching it slowly come together was great . The box it came in I could use as a night stand its that big.

The NES is still the best Nintendo Lego set in my opinion. Such a fun build.

I loved both. But I would be lying if I said I didn't prefer Three Houses by a country mile. I found both to have solid, fun gameplay (Engages was better I admit), but Three Houses story, characters and WORLD were just so much better. There's a reason people still have debates over the lore and character dynamics of 3 Houses vs Engage.

SO MUCH HYYYYPPPPEEEE

When this was announced, I hadn't even graduated High School yet. Now I have a college degree and a steady salary. I have never been more ready and it looks amazing.

@Jireland92 Id say since 2013 with the Tomb Raider reboot. That and Rise's focus on survival and stealth over action and tomb exploration cemented modern Lara with the bow and arrow imagery.

@Bret Never is certainly a long time, but I am nothing if not patient. War of attrition it is.

Super Paper Mario remake when.

I would 100% play a Fire Emblem games that was basically a dating sim VN Im not going to lie. However my ideal Fire Emblem would be a combination between the story/character writing and social elements of Three Houses and the gameplay of Engage.

I suppose I should mention Three Houses was my first Fire Emblem, I then played Engage and went back to play Awakening and Fates. Three Houses absolutely destroys all of them in world building and character writing, not even Awakening gets close to matching it. Engage's story coming right after it was a major let down and the character writing wasn't nearly as strong (The Fell Xenologue was really fun though). That's not to say I hated it, there are characters in Engage I do like, but none as much as 3H. That said, the gameplay was SUPER fun and the main reason I stuck around to beat both it and the DLC.

@Shredderlovespizza Its your money, spend it how you want to. You're fully justified in not buying entertainment products for the company's stance on issues.

@Shredderlovespizza I mean, the message is entirely the point. They clearly don't care about getting the money. Nintendo is saying "Don't want to be in debt for life? Don't facilitate the piracy of our games."

It's MAGES, so its going to have high quality art and CGs with some decent humor. Not my personal cup of tea though as I haven't seen the anime nor read the manga.

If they DID make Zelda a playable character, I want them to go the Samus Aran route, don't focus on her being a playable female character in the narrative, just a character kicking butt who also happens to be female. If there is any narrative focus on her, have it about her being the princess of a dying kingdom.

Side note: You all want a mainline game with a playable Zelda, I want a mainline game with a playable Linkle. We are not the same.

This seems to be a slightly worse version of Ultimate NES Remix on 3DS....but man if Im not a sucker for these types of games.

Played most of these as part of Rare Replay on Xbox. These are all very fun games.

Now it just needs the anime adaptation!

@-wc- to get the Captain Oliver trophy you need pikmin save file data on your memory card. To be be fair, thats not the only reason melee is at 5, but I didn't feel like typing out detailed reasons for each placement so I made half-jokey ones.

I can't agree with this

1. Brawl - Has Nintendo Chronicle and Subspace Emissary
2. Ultimate - Doesn't have either, but does have Banjo-Kazooie
3. Smash 4 3DS - Doesn't have any of above, but also doesn't have Smash Tour
4. Smash 4 Wii U - Has Smash Tour, but does have the best trophies
5. Melee - Has trophies you can't get unless you buy other games
6. 64 - outclassed by every other game in every way, but it does still have Board the Platforms....

As someone who has put over 100 hours into Engage and played its DLC and over 400 hours into Three Houses and played its DLC I feel I can give my piece on it. Three Houses has the superior story, characters, music and world. Engage has the better gameplay and presentation. However, Three Houses gameplay is not bad, there are aspects to Three Houses gameplay I think are superior to that in Engage, but Engage mostly clears in the gameplay front. On the flip side though, Engage's story, characters and world are so basic and boring that I almost believe the DLC is better than the main game simply because I actually found myself caring about the plot.

Mixing things up from being a bad publisher on a single platform! boom roasted

I have never sold games and probably never will. Who knows if I'll want to play Sesame Street Sports on Game Boy again someday?

@Savage_Joe Yup

@Toastmaster Yup

Steam launched more than 14,000 games? Shame that 13,900 of them are asset flips or actual trash.

They're going to give you 8 MB and you're going to buy it anyway.

and then when the Switch 2 is revealed and isn't a 4K beast with 24 days of battery life with a new Zelda, Mario Kart and Animal Crossing at launch and can also do your homework the share prices will strangely plummet.

Trace Memory because its a better name imo.

Personal Opinion here: Dual Destinies justifies the whole package but the other two are welcome bonuses.

Nintendo is the company that demanded Disney redo a scene in Wreck-it-Ralph so that Bowser was holding his tea correctly. I get the feeling they want their IPs to have a specific image and Mario holding assault rifles while hitting the griddy on Peter Griffin isn't it.

It doesn't really matter much to me who the playable character is. Cool if it ever happens, not going to cry if it doesn't.
