I didn't watch Indie Direct but judging from the games announced here, nothing I like because most of the games announced were horror themed games except for the new update of Little Kitty Big City and Wobbly Life that caught my interest.
But since Wobbly Life already went multi platform and will have physical release according to play-asia, so.... 😏
Btw, I voted 1 from 10 because I hate all the horror games announced and the other cozy games announced are uninteresting 2D style games. Only two games that I have interest about and both of them have physical release (Little Kitty Big City, Wobbly Life)
It looks artistic. But I wonder if Nintendo will get upset from looking the fan art creation and will try to shut down because Nintendo don't want their product being liked into that way. I just say if current Nintendo will going this way too far.
Notice that there is NO Switch 2 version in physical release from the picture above, whether the developer skipped the Switch 2 version or if they will consider the Switch 2 version, looks like the Switch 2 version will be game key card if the developer jumped on the bandwagon or they will provide actual game card if they still want to get some respect from the customers.
Well, I played The Sims 4 PS4 again on my PS5 machine.
I did some house renovation again, created new households and thinking about new combination of available venue from the purchased DLC.
I think I will buy another DLC packs of The Sims 4 PS4 before 31 July 2025 as I saw this DLC packs got discounted for 20%.
I'm still waiting for Strangerville get discounted again as I have a plan to make abandoned buildings.
Ubisoft currently just only doing these things. 1. Gaslighting us as customer how wonderful to NOT owning the games physically. 2. Gaslighting us how wonderful the micro transactions in video games. 3. Buy and shut down the studios for too obsessed in making AAA games and expecting a huge sales by being lazy and applied the non friendly policy.
It's by EA anyway. It will be game key card for Switch 2 version or even worse, code in box and must connected online to play offline game. What could possibly go wrong?
If they are just only "good friends" and why Princess Peach, Mario and Bowser had wedding in Super Mario Odyssey? Wedding is more serious relationship than just good friends.
I already have the Switch 1 version so I'm good, doesn't really need the Switch 2 version. Also, I noticed the Mario Party Superstars was more enjoyable to play in Board Game mode than Jamboree. Too many interruption from Wario party mode.
Nah.
I don't want to watch upcoming Nintendo Direct anymore.
I don't want to hurt my feelings with rollercoaster emotional feeling that lead to game key cards for the announced 3rd party games for Switch 2.
I will scoop out the information about announced 3rd party games from the available article and if I found they are game key cards, I pretend they don't exist on Switch 2 so I can spend my money for other physical games, both retro and new games.
I'm 40 years old dude but my games collection are mostly for female audience such as Barbie, Cooking Mama, Bluey, Harvest Moon, ACNH, Imagine series, My Universe series, The Sims, Mii games, Hello Kitty and other Sanrio characters, Disney princess games, etc.
Right now, Switch 2 doesn't look like the product I want to buy with all the controversial stuffs happened.
And this is the first time I felt very disappointed with Nintendo product.
Oh, I didn't know if Mario Baseball on GameCube was already 20 years old. Sorry, I have no idea about Mario Baseball since I didn't grow up by GameCube games. But I knew there was another cartoon Baseball games by 3rd party developers on other machines.
@Abrammchi 30 fps during PS2 / GameCube / Wii era was still understandable, but unstable fps even on Switch 2 hardware for 1st party Nintendo games is unacceptable.
@geiseldiesel
Not really.
Mario Sunshine gameplay was the reason I sold the 3D All Stars.
Fludd control was disaster for me, compared with weapon aiming in Ratchet & Clank games that felt easier to aim.
Mario N64 didn't even look enticing for me with that rough 3D polygon.
Mario Galaxy 1 Switch version lack of Mii option (minor complaints).
But since I have Super Mario Galaxy 1 Wii version first and already finished the game with unpleasant way, I decided to sell the 3D All Stars as I didn't feel worthy to keep that game.
