Good. Shadow Generations is peak. So happy that sonic team got this one so right.

@N00BiSH Dude, that had me dying lol.

Of course people are using this as an excuse to say NSO is terrible. Blah blah, virtual console better, blah blah. Ignoring that VC still had emulation issues. And was more expensive, and you still didn't really own the games cause they were digital.

@Serpenterror Oh but they can remove it from your console directly. Sony literally did with Concord. People had it downloaded after the delisting and Sony deleted it off of people's consoles. Kinda crazy

Okay but Tbf, skipping a star to use the boo is just good strategy.

@Reprise My thoughts exactly. Twitter might be society's single stupidest place.

I'm the same way. Pop just dies nothing for me. And I could probably count on one hand the number of billboard hot 100 songs I've actually heard before.

I am more angry than words can describe. Maybe he game could have actually freaking sold if it had any semblance of compartment marketing! It's the most critically acclaimed Ubisoft game since Rayman Legends, and yet somehow, it's the developer's fault it did poorly?!?! Screw you Ubisoft. I hope you enjoy your slow and painful death. I hope you enjoy every game you release flopping, your "AAAA" games scoring 60's on metacritic, your employees all striking. Screw you, I hope all the execs die sad and alone like they deserve.

Imma be real, I don't think sakurai would be the one writing the pitch for the next smash game. I think this has got to be a fully original project of some sort.

Well that's unexpected, but definitely cool!

Wish sega would do give our more than just PS5 codes

After reading information about the play test, it is definitely not what I expected. That's for sure.

There... is an easy game sharing method though? I've been sharing digital games between 2 consoles for a couple years and have never experienced issues. You just sign both into the account and make one the primary console.

Also, from software Kirby would be awesome.

@John_Deacon I would say sales are about what would be expected. Nowhere near ToTK numbers of course, but that was never realistic for this game. I believe it is tracking above what LA remake sold, which is pretty solid.

I feel like this isn't the gotcha moment people want it to be.

I know the PoP lost crown team apparently wanted to remake Zelda II. And for the record, that would be awesome. I would really love to see a Zelda game take a risk and be a little more action oriented

@DjinnFighter That's..... like really funny. They tried to kill her off cause they were tired of making the games. I mean, fair play I suppose.

Did not realize there were this many Tomb Raider games.

@Danrenfroe2016 Yeah, 👍 vr got very solid Internet. I've tried game pass streaming, which is supposedly the best, but it was literally unplayable. I can't imagine how awful Nintendo cloud streaming would be.

I might try to sign up. I really hope it's not a streaming thing like so e have suggested. Nintendo can't even get standard online play working right. Let's focus on that first, then move on to the big boy stuff.

Oh baby, it's finally time!!!

I swear, so help me if someone comes in here with the human eye can't tell the difference crap. Or the "more cinematic" argument. Both are equally dumb. As for this one, slightly more understandable, but still pretty stupid.

@swoose They're swimming in piles of it Scrooge McDuck style obviously.

@Dr_Lugae It has been for a while now. Everyone hates on it, but it's clearly accomplished exactly what Nintendo wanted

At this point, I'm just starting to believe the real switch 2 was the friends we made along the way.

@Uncle_Franklin Man, that TenNapel guy seems like a weirdo. If you don't mind me asking, what exactly did David Wise do? All I can find is a bunch of people talking about how awful he is, but I can't find the reason why. Unless it's like REALLY bad. Then don't tell me cause I LOVE dkc music.

There's one aspect that makes the whole Hogwarts legacy thing a rediculous double standard. I get not covering the game if you don't want to support Jk rowling. Fine, whatever. But then why are we covering Ubisoft games? Or Activision games? Or EA games? Those games give money to people that are at least equally awful, so I don't see the logic. Unless that means we now consider a few stupid tweets to be equivalent to a history of mistreating employees and pushing gambling mechanics to kids.

I don't really have a problem with it. I genuinely never would've guessed it would be considered a problem.

With every new article about this debacle, the grace dancing gets more and more fun. The gamers finally earn a point against corporate greed! So, checking the score it's now... Gamers: 1, corporate greed: 237. Oh.

Congrats to him for escaping the literal depths of hell.

Yeah, it's rough. But I played 30 hours of Age of Calamity darn it! I can handle it

I feel like UT being quieter should be a positive.

Uh oh. You've done it now. You r drawn the eye of Sauron towards this project.

Gotta love people throwing out the "Emulation is legal actually" argument. The so-called proof behind this is a now twenty four year old decision in Sony vs Connectix. Twenty four years is practically an eternity in the tech world. There is no act of Congress supporting it, no legislation at all actually, just precedent from a case from the year 2000. And despite what many try to claim, it is definitely a grey area. If Nintendo pushed the issue and actually took one of these emulators to court, there is a very legitimate chance they would win. The main reason they haven't is because the risk-reward doesn't really make sense. These emulators aren't really costing Nintendo that many sales, and the potential cost of losing a lawsuit like that would be disastrous for them. There's a great you tube video that kind of delves into this, which he refers to this. It's long, and not entirely about what I've said, but is fascinating nonetheless.

Oh man, that's really sad. Hope he manages to recover quickly and smoothly.

Happy birthday monolith soft! Never played their games (just not a genre I'm Interested in), but y'all have been a support studio for many games I enjoy. So, pretty cool overall.

Some classic shenanigans to be sure

I haven't even started yet unfortunately. Stupid college and stupid homework have prevented me from playing. I am very excited to start though

I really hope it's soon. I'm so tired of this freaking potato that can't run anything without frame rate drops. I feel little desire to play on the Switch with a choppy 30 fps, when I can just get 120 on my PC.

@benmully I think you might be a bit confis d. Nintendo said they would reveal the console during this fiscal year. So, it would have to be revealed before April.

@link3710 And ubisoft wonders why they're struggling smh. Concord I can understand though, cause the game wasn't playable at all anyway, so nothing really lost there.

@HeadPirate That's really interesting. Wasn't really an angle I considered. It's so true though. As a kid I accidentally scratched so many DVDs and CDs. One of the reasons cartridges on the switch are great.

While it is technically true it's only a license, games being taken away doesn't happen nearly as much as some people like to believe. The way some people talk, you'd think every digital game gets ripped away after 6 months lol. I have a large digital library and I have never lost access to any game. Some of y'all need to chill.

@shoeses Not true. You could still redownload the game.

Yeaaaaah baby!

Miyamoto is so wholesome honestly.

Dang. That's a lot bigger than I expected

Very excited for this one. But a big yikes on the frame rate issues. Hopefully they're not too bad, as that is the sort of thing that can ruin the experience for me

I am of the opinion generative AI has its fair uses. But also many more bad ones. For an example of a good use, if an author had ideas for creatures in a book, wanted some concept images to go off of, that would be a good use case. However, large companies using AI to create images in a game would be a bad use, as even ignoring the idea of plaugerism and ethics, it would deliver an inferior product. Also this is obviously one of those bad use cases. But all that to say that immediately dismissing generative AI in every case as terrible and bad is childish and massively oversimplifies the issue.

I love Nintendo's game design philosophy. The way they'll just put in the extra work to fix a game if there's problems, even if it takes extra work to do so. Say what you want about their anti-consumer habits, but their devs really do care about making games.
