I can’t be the only one who looked at it and thought it was a some Iron Knuckles for Peach…

Ok, could we get an article detailing what games and demos are available now? I don’t want to rewatch the direct, and I don’t want to search the Coming Soon just for the new Demos. Anton was a demo out now, but there was others?

I have the game on 3 different platforms, the first two DLC on 2 platforms and that last DLC on one platform.
Can’t see a physical version coming until they have like 10 paid DLC to make it worth the price, as the game is cheap, not really worth paying something like five times the games base price just for physical. And that’s assuming it’s be £20… which is probably on the cheap side of physical releases.

If there was Castlevania DLC, they’d probably have to ruin the long running joke of the game and actually have a vampire in the game finally.

I also wonder “who?”, are they Johnny Cage’s mother or something?

Um, … all the details have been released, as it’s up for preorder already. I had already preordered it two hours ago when this article was posted. Two versions, ~€65/~€110 before tax and postage I believe. I’ve preordered the DX on the Good Smile Company Europe site. Comes out Feb next year.

“Cast him into the fires, mr Frodo!”

Since people seem to be rather fondly remembering the arcade version, this should be pretty fun, unless Game Mill decides to not give them the time to port the game properly and implement the new features fully. Considering their practices as a publisher led to a couple of the worst games of last year, I’m hopeful but concerned.

"Er, Boss, Da game is running too slow."
"Use ah red filter."
"Gud thunking boss, Red Goes Faster!"

Seems a weird decision for them, then most of what they do is utterly confusing. Their postage is so bloody high and they still charge you to have it delivered to a store for pick up, which defeats the whole point of having it delivered to a store for pick up. Then you have ShopTo who do free delivery on most stuff. And better prices. Who are you going to buy from? Game’s delivery is more than it costs to get bulky deliveries from where I buy toys. And those shops aren’t part of a giant chain. It’s laughable.

Let’s see… not seen the Boy and the Heron for the above reason, so can’t comment on it, not seen Elemental or Wish, but either didn’t hear much about them, or not much good about them. Across the Spider-verse was spectacular and had me on the edge of my seat. Door Anime was very good apart from the romance felt flat (should have stuck to the original plan maybe). Super Mario, well it was fun and one of the better Video Game movies, but not exactly groundbreaking.
I forget how the Golden Globes work? Are they judged or voted on? As I remember hearing about how the judges for one award were simply not watching the animated nominees and going for Disney entries just because.
Door Anime and probably The Boy and the Heron might go over judges/viewers heads? (Again, not seen tBatH yet?). Spider-Verse has a lot of setup to get on top of, and while other spider-verse stuff isn’t important to understanding it really, the first film is needed, and also unfamiliarity with Spider-man/comics might put judges/viewers off. Definitely best comic hero movie this year though.
Mario… requires a lot of setup to get the in jokes and Easter eggs, but is also bright and colourful for kids and puny judges’ minds.

So if Disney or Mario end up winning, I think most people won’t be able to take it seriously. Again, I don’t remember how Golden Globes work.

Keep thinking I missed the Boy and the Heron, but nope, it’s Uk release is Boxing Day.
I hope it is in cinemas for a while, I’d probably prefer to see it with friends, but we won’t be meeting up after Christmas until 2024.

AH YES YES YES! I adore these games, I’ve played the first two on the DS and on iOS! Now I’ll have to play a third time round to refresh myself and get bonus content, then onto Number 3! Can’t wait for UK details, I’ll definitely preorder it! Who knows, if enough people get it, maybe we’ll see more games? Unlikely, but a fan can dream…

The same trial is for the UK (possibly EU?) too, it starts at 6 o’clock.

@Coffeemonstah That was an old comment, from July last year. At the time, it had vanished, but since then it had reappeared. This is an updated/reposted article.

This reminds me of Viewtiful Joe. Not in that the games are in any way similar, but that light camera action feel and the gameplay mechanics being based around movie making stuff.
But this looks very interesting. I look forward to it.

By the sounds of it, I already own most of the games from a previous collection on Switch. Maybe the new additions will be available as standalones?

Where’s Catra riding a Shera themed cart?
Eyebrow wiggle

Is the trailer not working for anyone else? I just see a black rectangle with "Subscribe" at the bottom.

Checked on my mobile and on my PC.
Actually, I'm having the issue with all videos on the site currently, weird.

Also, any idea how much the GBA cart will be, and here’s another question, how much for delivery to the UK, as shipping has reached ridiculous levels in recent years…

Here’s hoping for a Switch port, as I don’t know where my:
-GBA original
-Golden Zelda GBA SP
-DS original
Are…
Only my new 3DS and my DSi, neither of which play GBA…

From the main image I was worried this was a remake with new graphics, which don’t always work out, but from the sounds of it, the image is from a new animated intro, not in game graphics. I’ve always wanted to try this game, so looking forward to this release.

Why are all the playable villains like “No, no, we’re actually like Saintly good! For the Orphans/Family!” It feels really odd. I suppose the game is leaning into Goofy.
Want to know what kind of graphics I’d like to see a beat-em-up use? HD-2D style. Why is it almost entirely used for RPGs? You could apply it to Any kind of game nearly.

Did they fix the graphical models they broke by just auto-smoothing everything? Like that Nuts and bolts gag they turned into a donut?

So... are they uk getting these too?

I just want to see a normal translation of the sky island tablets. Whenever they guy half translates it and reads it, I feel like I'm going mad with the whole "I can almost understand this but not quite" thing. The fact the only translations offered in game are the crazy one and the rough translation is so frustrating.

On a discord I’m on, they were discussing that the original had a FF Cameo, and if that would still be included. And another friend I think mentioned being interested in what the translation/localisation will be like. I’m waiting until reviews before committing to a purchase, since I own the original version on WiiU VC.

This is pretty frustrating, especially at 30GB for the videos?! Something I did notice while looking on the eShop: everything in this collection is separate downloads. The Collection on the eShop is a bundle of five different pieces of Software, none of it is DLC. MGS, MGS2, MGS3, The Nes Games, the extra extras(The other pre-Solid games, the videos, the motion comic, etc). But before you get excited and think this means you can pick and mix: only MGS2 & 3 have prices by themselves. MGS and the NES Games are available in a collection together, but I think the only way to get the Extra Extras, including what people consider the real precursor games, is to buy the Full Collection.

I’ve played it mostly to death on PC(mostly just got to finish the DLC), and mostly to death on Mobile(one non-secret character refuses to unlock, and I can’t figure out why. Also not brought the DLC on Mobile), but I’m fully prepared to play it to death yet again on Switch- this time with Friends! Curious how they’ll make that work actually.

It is as re-released last week? Could have sworn I saw it reappear in the UK eShop ages ago, at least last month surely?

This poll is missing an option. It jumps from "Completed" to "Nowhere near completed." What about "Can complete at any moment, but doing more sidequest stuff first"?

@Diowine By the sounds of it, this bug actually doesn't require you to actually use any Zonite. The description given makes it sounds like the meat pops off the Virtual diagram before you even try to build it. Basically, it sounds like currently extreme cold automatically separates meat from fusions etc, and the extreme cold is affecting the meat in this way, before it is supposed to be physically there, causing it to materialise early.

Hmmm, I own Apollo Justice twice, but I only own the 3DS ones once. Maybe I should consider this one…

I feel old and confused… Lui Kang is a God now? Last I heard he was a zombie? I wasn’t even paying attention when that happened. And Raiden’s a Mortal? Did MK11 end with them resetting the universe in universe?
The Cameos are a little odd, doesn’t really strike me as a Mortal Kombat mechanic, that’s more a Marvel Vs Capcom thing… was it 2 that did that?

This looks like a Baby’s first Stardew Valley. Nothing wrong with that, just saying it presents itself as a farming sim for a younger age. I wonder if gameplay will be stripped back, or be just/nearly as complex as the more seasoned Farming Sims of today, and if simpler, how fun the game will turn out. Will it be a simple but fun experience for all ages, or will it turn out too simplistic and be branded a baby game? It looks like it could have plenty of fun and wonder for all ages not turned away by how overly cute it presents itself. And it has some form of multiplayer? But not sure if that’s Online/Wireless, or same console Multiplayer- wait, just read the article, yeah it’s all online and ad-hoc… which is the more expensive form of multiplayer since usually everyone needs a copy and a Switch, though obviously it allows for more freedom when playing.

Fae Farm looks like a Baby’s first Stardew Valley. Nothing wrong with that, just saying it presents itself as a farming sim for a younger age. I wonder if gameplay will be stripped back, or be just/nearly as complex as the more seasoned Farming Sims of today, and if simpler, how fun the game will turn out. Will it be a simple but fun experience for all ages, or will it turn out too simplistic and be branded a baby game?

Prince of Persia looks full of EdgeTM, but that shouldn’t impact the game if it is still fun.
Sonic could be fun, though part of me prefers the 2D graphics of Mania, but that doesn’t mean anything one way or the other concerning gameplay. If it’s fun, it’s fun. Though I did raise a confused eyebrow at turning into jellyfish and the storm of Sonics attacking the Robotnik robot.
It strikes me as odd that both of these are established franchises that have more recently(though the last PoP was, what? A couple decades ago? I don’t remember) moved to 3D, returning to their 2D roots with Fancy 3D graphics (though not sure the new PoP will be anything like the very original).

So… is Nick Cage a new killer or survivor? I’m confused?

I picked up III only. I have Every other numbered title in some form on the 3DS, physically in most cases, but III never got an Untold or any version on the 3DS. Now I think the only one I don’t own in some form is Nexus, which was a compilation from my understanding?

Looked a little too chaotic with the combat. Like, I feel that I'll end up repeatedly running off the stage trying to do combat and end up getting frustrated. But it'll probably have its audience and I wish them good luck.

@NightBeast wow even the reviews/gameplay videos are misleading! They start off with more fabrication trailer footage before eventually revealing it’s the usual mobile mmo isometric dungeon crawler stuff, more like Diablo than TotK.
You have to be suspicious when the reviewer is clearly sponsored by the company behind the game.

Some people here have no idea how ads for mobile games work these days and it clearly shows.

Now now, this game most likely isn’t copying Tears of the Kingdom, just the trailer. That is, the actual game will be nothing like this, this is a complete fabrication. Heck, you can’t believe any mobile game ad, it’s that bad these days.
There’s a game being sued for having misleading ads, that now has an ad that goes “Fed up of misleading ads? Here is the game that is just like the ad!”

Wait, you can preorder free games now? That just strikes me as super odd. There’s zero commitment from the consumer. Or do you need to preorder a season pass or something?

@nhSnork I don’t think Nintendo was directly involved with Project X Zone, it was a collab between Bandai Namco, Capcom, and Sega. It was a 3DS exclusive, is that what you mean?

"with the first game receiving its own "reimagining" in 2013 for the 3DS with Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl."
And the Second game got what I think is a similar reimagining. In fact, of the numbered entries, I only don't own a version of EO III. Which is why that's the only one I have my eye on.

Looks like it might be fun, but I'm worried that the plot is one of those generic meet cutes between a super loser character and a cute girl, which we've seen so many times already... Anyone know the TV trope name for that?

@Bobb Samus is Metroid's foster mother.

@Coffeemonster The Simple 2000 series is full of masterpieces, and I won’t hear a single bad word against it. Yes, that includes Demolition Girl.
… Man, I’d love a Simple 2000 collection on Switch, or for the European releases to be on the PlayStation Plus Ultra or whatever service… But they could name their price on a Simple 2000 Collection on Switch.

Also, if the game is coming to Mobile, then they already have a version cut down enough to work on Switch.
