It’s alright and I’m guessing we’ll eventually get Rise and Shadows. But I would so much prefer a trilogy consisting of Legends, Anniversary & Underworld.
But man they have dropped the ball with Tomb Raider consistently lately.
Looks good, better than expected, definitely better than the “internet’s alternative”. Though it’s the actual acting/characterisation and story that’s the concern now. It’ll be cool to finally see it in action.
Well I’m getting what I wanted, a more fleshed out Galactic Federation. Now I just want a Halo ODST-like Metroid Prime game and a good multiplayer mode.
Yup, there’s no denying it now, the Xbox console brand is dead, they’re definitely just another 3rd party publisher. Only 2 console devs remain and one (Sony) already has their foot in the door.
“Pokémon Legends: Z-A might not have flown off the shelves quite as fast as its series predecessors around the world.”
Finally, some honesty. Because it’s simply a fact that digital sales are on the rise, which I wish would be recorded, which surely wouldn’t be hard to find.
Then there’s the claim of Switch sales being so much higher than Switch 2 sales, which is true, but do you know what was the top download only title is on the NS2? The Pokémon Legends Z-A NS2 upgrade.
Man, I called MS seriously going 3rd party in the early Xbox One days.
I mean the Xbox One was the beginning of the end, they’ve never recovered from that moment. But the ZeniMax and ABK buyouts were the real signs. And now Halo on PS5 is MS raising the white flag.
The only decent thing announced in the whole presentation. Still waiting for Oblivion remastered for NS2, but I guess this makes up for the “less desirable” games recently announced.
In a month and only managed to break 1 million copies sold across 7 systems? MKW did more than 5 times that, in less time, as an exclusive, on a new platform.
You’re using Chris Dring as your source? LOL. Not exactly known for being an accurate/reliable source. Also note, Nintendo never releases digital sales, of which have been increasing in the last few years. A lot of unknowns here, so a pinch of salt is required.
Oof, that’s gonna be a tough pick, a game I’ve waited for, for nearly a decade (MP4), or a port of a trash game that’s never even registered to me since its original announcement (AssCred). Decisions, decisions…
Poor Yotei, I expected more, especially when it has little competition, save for a remastered port. It’ll be business as usual come next week. Guarantee, Mario Galaxy outsells Yotei in the long run.
While the UK weekly sales are rather insignificant, the most amusing thing here is how quickly Sonic Racing fell off, especially as a multiplat release.
Mario Kart World > Sonic Racing Crossworlds, and it’s not even close.

Re: Preview: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Is Great, But I Want To Kill One Of Its Characters
Just another reason why “gaming communities” suck so much.
Re: Mailbox: 3D Mario Predictions, Gaming Redemptions, Grammar Talk - Nintendo Life Letters
The MKW letter is on point. Especially with a 90%+ attach rate. Just like with the recent with Metroid Prime 4, a loud minority complaining.
On another note, looks like Ubislop is about to get bought out or ripped apart, even with AC Shadows NS2 bound, sucks to suck!
Re: Preview: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Is Great, But I Want To Kill One Of Its Characters
Bring back Metroid Prime multiplayer mode! ✊

Re: Monster Hunter Wilds Sales Hit The Brakes So Hard Last Quarter, Even 'Rise' Outsold It
Neat. So can Capcom put DMC 4 & 5 on the NS2 already?
Re: Microsoft On Its Gaming Business Going Forward: "We Want To Be Everywhere"

Re: Vintage Shooter 'Mouse: P.I. For Hire' Blasts Onto Switch 2 In March 2026

Re: UK Charts: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Is The Smallest Retail Launch Since 'Let's Go!' In Europe
Fight all you want, it’s all going digital. That’s where the unrecorded sales are.
It’s funny how people are coping with this news as a sign of “gamers voting with their wallets”.
Also, Sonic Racing CW reeeeeeeeally fell off.

Re: Reminder: Ubisoft's "Free" Star Wars Outlaws Demo For Switch 2 Is Now Available

At least this will add to their ever growing “player count”.

Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Team Open To More DLC: "Tell Us What You Want"
So far this game is basically a flop on every platform it released on, in basically every region.

Re: The ROG Xbox Ally X Receives Glowing Reviews, But It's Still Pretty Pricey
Pretty sure you can buy an Xbox sticker for less than a dollar. Just slap that bad boy on anything and boom, you got an Xbox.
In all seriousness, I don’t see Microsoft duking it out in the console space for much longer.

Careful now, I hear people aren’t entitled to their wrong opinions as they used to be in the UK, even on the internet.
