@-wc- you make a lot of good points and this response isn't arguing any. I think more than anything, the FF6 comparison just shows how much more 70 bucks could go back then and relatively speaking, 80 bucks now doesn't go as far as 70 then. Meaning in 1994, instead of purchasing FF6 for $70 you could like fill up the car, grab movie tickets with snacks and so on with some change. While today 80 might just fill up the tank and maybe get you a single movie ticket with snack (I'm using vague, uncited examples, I know). But more or less that's how interpreted it. I know it doesn't address other points like cartridge production or greedy profiteers but in terms of bang for your buck it might not be too far off

@topher6490 good on you for recognizing that, I get that way with other hobbies

I've really been hoping for switch releases of this and Illusion of Gaia, would love to see at least one make it on the system

I'd appreciate it only because it'd save me online fees in the long run. I like to play with a friend on XS and as far as I can tell, there's no option i find cheap enough for me to get for Xbox online. I don't use game pass and just the base online is much more than Nintendo's

@datamonkey I grew up with it so my opinions definitely a little skewed. I think NL gave an 8/10 which is around the highest I'd give it to from what i remember. The original (not remastered) soundtrack is still fantastic, the dialog/story is fun and dont think its an overly long title. Not sure how someone would find the battle system without ever playing it, perhaps a little simple depending on taste. Hopefully you have a great time with it (whenever that time exists!)

Super Mario RPG still, hope to make a big dent in it after getting Geno. Also got XCX as an anniversary gift and will be able to pick up my copies of Castlevania Dominus collection and Freedom Planet 2. Truly blessed with this many games, if only I had more time this weekend. Have a great one folks!

I made my Mii in the style of Chop Chop Master Onion

Ngl a majority of my MK8 time is in Battle mode, it's great in short spurts and I was disappointed the dlc didn't add more battle maps. Looking forward to MKWs offerings

Some of the NSO Keychains make for good tree ornaments btw, if you have any tucked in a drawer. I know i hang Cat-Mario from 3DW and something Splatoon, they look great

@shgamer thank you for this, good to know. I got the Japanese edition of Street Fighter collection to combat this, it can also have ridiculously easy AI but I can find a happy medium (and i don't mind super hard stuff either but I wanna beat it in the end). Hopefully the same here, thanks again.

Can anyone confirm if the arcade modes have absurd AI opponents on any of these? I don't always feel like playing online but don't wanna waste my time if the CPU is unbeatable

Hmm I guess I see the complaint that $70 without dlc is annoying. But just expecting a dlc to be included I'm not sure about, so many other older games continue to sell those separately for a while, even with bundles.

Curious how a company like LRG will fit in with S2 games when the time comes, like if they will be the 'best' option for game-on-cart releases even moreso or if they'd somehow do this too

@Anti-Matter I will say although disappointing from the start, have faith something you'd want will eventually come out. The system isn't out yet and hopefully has a fruitful lifespan with a variety of games

Started Super Mario RPG, I forgot how funny n charming it was after all this time. Square+Nintendo was such a dream collab in the 90s.
I also finished Final Fantasy 2 and was pleasantly surprised the difficulty went up some in the second half. Not a stone cold classic but happy I played. Have a great one folks!

If I ever paid $80 for a single game (which I wouldn't given sales) I'd feel obligated to play and try n love the heck out of it to get my moneys worth. At the same time, I don't need every game to be some sprawling 100+ hour time sink, so 80 for like a 2D mario would feel odd to me. Overall I understand but its disappointing

@Anti-Matter this is hilarious

Fantastic to hear. I don't think I'm excited as others for S2 but a treehouse could definitely get the coal burning

Final Fantasy 2 pixel remaster. Loving the plot and everything but boy is it an easy game. I'm basically auto-piloting a majority of battles, which I'm okay with but wish it was more challenging. I heard ff3 is a little more balanced. After this it's back to the backlog. Have a good weekend folks.

Unless they botch it and it sucks, don't see how it won't sell a ton

@Spider-Kev i bought metroid dread for $49.99 at WM right after release and keep holding onto that. Absolutely hasn't happened since. Thanks, we shall see

@Spider-Kev was it 59.99 at Walmart? Curious of my chances getting it slightly off this weekend

@johnedwin thank you

@johnedwin do you ever provide sources for your numbers or do you just make up stuff for fun? I'm genuinely asking because you say this type of stuff week in week out and I've politely asked for numbers before but I never see them

Not trying to completely dunk on it but I'd be disappointed if I bought Harvestella full price. I gave it an honest effort for a fraction of the msrp and sold it. It wasn't bad, maybe a tad undercooked for me but no way $60

With my backlog and schedule I won't get it anytime soon. But the trailers, reviews and comments (both good and bad) have me feeling I'll get this as my first Xeno title eventually, it looks pretty sweet to get lost in

They fixed the mini map togglings, wooo! I hated turning them off every time I switched rooms in FF1, I hope this is what that means. I'm going in fresh to FF2 and FF3 and would hate being tempted/guided by the mini map all the time

@johnedwin can you please provide the source for the data?

It's a game kinda ingrained in me,having played it on release when I was 7/8 yrs old and many times after. I probably haven't played since like 2011 and would love a reissue/remake/whatever. I often think how I (or anyone) would find it after playing for the first time now, simply because it's a special part of my gaming childhood n beyond, definite bias here

"Oh dear" indeed for the Xbox sales

@ENGENETEN do you have a source for the number of gamers being leftist? Just curious

Thanks for the review. Since the time this was announced I've accumulated a decent backlog (for my standards) so unfortunately not picking this up soon, but glad for everyone else and that it's a winner. Who knows, maybe by years end if I can, never played them despite older sibling having ps1 copies

I'd definitely buy a few that I didn't grow up on. I will say one benefit of the 'rental' space is that I did try and enjoy a few titles i likely would not have purchased outright n never played otherwise.

@EVIL-C i didn't take saying 'not surprising' as NL defending the practice. In fact they say a bunch of other times how it's disappointing for folks

Plucking along at Ys Origin when I can, still love it. Been very busy past couple weeks so looking fwd to some proper gaming tomorrow. My copy of Oath of Felghana arrived yesterday as well, even more goodies on the horizon. Have a good one everyone

@Rainbowfire that's exactly it. In any other media it'd be laughed off. Like there's room for mafia movies but imagine someone puts out The Godmother with Donna Corleone and Bluca Brattzi, it's like come on give it a little more thought

@SoIDecidedTo nothing wrong with indulging in a harmless guilty pleasure

Hypothetically - if a similar KS was made for a Zelda movie in a more ultra-violent (but tasteful) way, like game of thrones or something, would it still be a problem for people if N took action? I mean like nudity and very violent, etc, in the world of Zelda but not necessarily how Nintendo has presented their games.

The reason I ask is because I believe if Ninty says yes to one of these projects (kid-friendly or not) maybe it just opens up further headaches for N and others who try it down the line and are rejected. It's not like Nintendo is partnering with these folks so in an effort to avoid any type of dialogue, they just shut anything down. Just thoughts, idk this stuff in detail

I'm continuing Ys Origin. As a first time Ys-player I have to say it is freaking awesome. Challenging boss fights, perfect amount of difficulty (hard mode), the overall aesthetic, etc - simply a winner. It's exciting jumping into a new series that really clicks, my copy of Memoire is already in the mail. Have a great weekend folks

Congrats to Kate on in-game writing!

More of a variety of Battle Mode stages, please

@Anti-Matter thanks for the answer. That's awesome you have an ACNH for ps5, i have seen how much you play and like AC

No, conflict of interest with my uncle working there n all

@Anti-Matter kinda curious - are you at all interested in the Switch 2, especially if they have greater support for 3rd party titles? Or will you likely just stick with ps5? Or too early to tell, like some of us?

My copy of Ys Origin should be delivered today, very excited to jump into my first Ys title

Seems like more than Luigis mansion 2 and Mario vs dk, slightly less than TTYD and a third of what SMRPG put up their first weeks.

@dew12333 honest question why would including an LGBT character be deemed political? Like, if you're talking about laws and policies that feels political. But why does including a character in a game make it political? Maybe I'm misunderstanding your comment, perhaps you were referring to the awards show only

@jesse_dylan yes the trailer had been updated, shows English text

Looks varied enough and up my alley, will keep an eye out. Really curious about the DICENICS title randomly

@JohnnyMind i agree that N should be more collaborative. But for one-offs like these perhaps there is a risk that if you let one slide (even if tasteful) then that opens the door for tons more (that could be unsavory / inappropriate). I don't have hard thoughts and not arguing, kinda thinking out loud
