More competition is always good. I'll probably pick up PS6 if it goes portable (hopefully the AI bubble has burst and prices go down by then) but I'm gonna wait till PS5 output slows down to a trickle because I'm still perfectly happy with that and I feel game systems are plateauing in terms of limitations

Everyone's talking like "I have to start over again" honey, you don't HAVE to do anything. This is gaming. Stop making it a job and just play the game to have fun.

This looks incredible! Ever since I played Bioshock I've been into this period-piece style FPS; they can take as long as they need I'll be there when it drops.

@Goobplus Not a bad investment. Those two are some of my favorite games of all time, while Fallout 4 is kinda just what you'd expect.

That eevee bag is so cute but way too expensive for someone who doesn't really play pokemon. Plus it kinda looks like a novelty from Spencer's which is FINE, but I expect something a lil different from items priced this high.

Eh. It seemed very corporate to me anyway. Like a bunch of guys in suits tried to understand why "friendslop" is so popular and what makes it great. There are far better games for people who want that kind of game, anyway. Phasmophobia is coming to S2 and apparently it's quite good.

I guess when he said no dlc, he never said anything about free updates. Still wouldn't expect any new tracks or anything major like that.

Oooh we can hear the famous songs "Mario Land" "Underwater Mario Land" "Bossa-Nova Mario Land" "Spooky Mario Land" and "Blues Mario Land" as well as many others that are basically the same song in different keys and rhythms. Jokes aside I love this OST. Mainly because I grew up with it, but it's amazing nonetheless

@MrRom92 You're so real for that. VR mode is the only way I will ever play RE7.

Apparently this game was created by the team who worked on Resident Evil Revelations back on 3DS. As someone who's been following Nintendo news since forever, RE7 felt a bit like watching your child nail a job interview. Like, we saw potential in them reviving true survival horror RE back then, and the buggers went and did it. I forever love RE7.

@kal_el_07241 Awarding a "like" for Arceus speed. That one was clever.

Looks pretty alright here. I bought it for PS5 on launch and just never finished it-had to delete it to make room for MGS5... Maybe once I've gotten Cyberpunk outta the way I'll finally finish it here. I'm not concerned about fidelity or anything.

I sorta want to bust out a webcam just to play this game. Before Your Eyes in VR was something else.

Definitely expected amd cool to see, though I've never been at all into Monster Hunter. I really want to be, trust.

I've played it on PSVR2. It's a solid, if budget, Pool Rooms game. My vote is still on playing in VR, but if you're a fan of liminal spaces you can't do much better than Pools.

Okay now let me play as a yes-nonsense-lawyer in Fortnite and you'll have piqued my interest.

@Altaria_97 Yep, you described my experience with Switch 1 vs the WiiU. A lot more expendable income way back when I was living with my parents. Switch, I had to be more careful with my funds and I still haven't bought some games I REALLY cared about.

@WhiteTrashGuy Wow, I played every AC up until Unity; how did I never notice there was no jump button lmao

Man, I wish roguelikes made my little primate brain light up. I really do.

I remember playing Space Cadet Adventures all the way through using a GB Game Genie... It was a really bad game but it looked good. If you want another game that's surely going to be discontinued on the eShop go for it but I'm so okay skipping this.

@Vonsparrow I checked your comment history. You spend more of your life worrying about this game than most people have playing it. After reading through your comments, my suspicions were confirmed; you don't like it because there is a character depicting a real black samurai who genuinely existed. Don't bother replying because I've ignored you.

@MoldyPasta Not too much a Metroidvania player (Except for Metroid itself), I always get lost and it gets super frustrating but I love the linear 3D action games a LOT. If it makes me feel like a badass ninja I'm all about that.

I've been wanting to play this game. I never liked Dark Souls games because of how slow they are, and I think this genre might have something to do with it. Metal Gear Rising and Bayonetta have spoiled me. They've got the tough, biblically large boss fights, stylish quick movement, and if you die you start right at the beginning of the last fight. If it comes to Switch 2 before I cave and pick it up on PS5 I'll buy it there.

@FredBiletnikoff I thought nobody would ever ask. Avoiding spoilers, I got a PS3 in 2012 just to play MGS4. Even if I never got The Last of Us, Metal Gear Rising or Bioshock Infinite it would have been worth it. You have to play the others first. The game's got callbacks and appearances from every other game in the series, one in particular that made my jaw drop.
There is so much detail and emergent gameplay here that you could play the game ten different times with different strategies and still see new animations, hear new voice clips, and notice new tiny details in the environments.
Speaking of tiny, a lot of things are caused by nanomachines in this game and you kinda have to suspend disbelief the same way you do in something like Star Wars with The Force.

Peace Walker is amazing too. I hear it was originally supposed to be called MGS5 but it wasn't because it was only on the PSP. I mostly wanted to gush about MGS4 but this one is gonna have online campaign co-op which I am STOKED for.

@Dman10 Agreed. People may not realize you can go buy a 3DS right now, log into your account and re-download every digital game you purchased; same thing on Wii. We'll all have more pressing matters to attend to in 30 years anyway. Cars to replace, causes to fight for... There's people you're going to want to spend time with. Are there people in your life who may not have 30 years left?
Let's just play Metal Gear right now. Enjoy what was once THE most Kojima game before Death Stranding. I'm really excited for more people to play my favorite Metal Gear.

I am SO excited to play my favorite MGS game without being forced to brandish my PS3.
You heard me; my favorite. MGSV was great but the move to open world, sandbox gameplay marked the end of the linear narrative experience I fell in love with. This also is a perfect parallel to my feelings on newer Zelda games.

I like owning expensive games, but I'm not a fan of owning expensive games that I'll never play... I'll stick to Devil's Third lmao

I'd love to see it but I'm not certain Unreal Engine 5 is really going to kick it on a Switch 2 without a fight. I hope I'm wrong.

I still don't like Yoshi's voice but the trailer itself was pretty okay tbh

@wollywoo Agreed. Bro got the "JayJay the Jet Plane" plastic surgery or smth cuz it will be haunting my nightmares.

@NeonPizza Makes sense; my sis and I didn't play Goemon for the story. We played it for the cool bosses, incredible ost, fun side content, and sense of accomplishment. I wonder how many of them have that, I'm pretty forgiving with games though and I have a lot of patience.

Welcome... To the world... of Philabieldia.

@Krisi Nice, thanks for the overviews. I do have a retro mindset, having grown up on SNES, GB, and browser-based NES emulators. I can overlook some difficulty spikes because of save states, I'm no purist or anything. Most importantly, as long as the music is heat I'm all in.

I'd be getting the game for PS5 if it were VR but until that happens (probably not) I'm gonna check it out on Switch cuz I've always liked cute handheld versions of big-girl games... Especially when they stand up to scrutiny.

@Krisi Yayyy I loved The Legend of the Mystical Ninja I'm glad most are like that one. I'll have to load some english patches up on my Retroid

Man, I thought copies of Black and White were expensive lmao

@NeonPizza Woah, I don't like turn-based games either.
As a casual outsider, how many of these are turn-based? I may be mistaken, but after a bit of research a lot of these I believed to be real-time, Zelda: Link To The Past-style combat.

Aww... Goemon, or as we knew it, Mystical Ninja, is my childhood. I feel it will never get the notoriety it deserves from Konami here in the states. I remember thinking it was some lone forgotten game on SNES but one day finding out there was a new game on DS at the time that we were never privvy to. The side content in Mystical Ninja put GTA3 to shame, and all of it playable co-op. I'd die for an official translation.

@Stufffix Surprisingly as far as I know it's not a remake, but if Joel was not upset by its shift to being a co-op spinoff I'm sure he'd like it. I just don't know enough about Joel to know if he covers Nintendo Directs

Hearing Vinny Vinesauce die inside while watching this was heartbreaking. He's right, all they needed to do was make a boomer shooter. They could have made it co-op still.... I guess if this is Turok's Banjo Kazooie Nuts N Bolts at least it could still have a cult following.

@h3s If you don't mind the... erm, "retro" nature of it, you can still get a Wii copy for relatively cheap.

It's going to be so cute to see this game in my hands soon. Bought it day one for PS4 and never finished it cuz I had to delete it to make space for god-knows-what so maybe having it portably is my chance to crack away at it.

This trailer skyrocketed my interest in this game from "ehhh" to "must-play." My partner and I are working on Split Fiction so it's cool to already have something lined up for when we finish it

The whole time I saw this I was whispering "please tell me this is switch one" lmao I know it's open world with pretty complex crafting but it was a little silly to see drawbacks this intense already. Hopefully it makes up for it in FPS or this comment section will go crazy

@rjejr Agreed; I've played a decent amount of the games I'd like to play on PS5, and being older games they go on sale quite often. Main selling point for Switch 2 is if it's a longer game I'll bring it to work and do some grinding on off-time or play it on the treadmill like I do with Yakuza. Otherwise, some of these games are best experienced on the big screen anyway.

Ooohhhh I already loved Machinegames' output these last few years, I was already going to play Indy. Now I guess I'm going to be getting it physical

Yayyyy I get better performance on that game I'm never going to playyyy. yeehaw

I'm surprised how quickly we went from accepting 30fps during the Switch generation to being absolutely appalled by it during this generation. Personally, I played Skyrim on Switch 2 and it felt perfectly reasonable but I guess I grew up playing N64, PS2, and pirated Darksiders on my garbo PC at 20fps.

@steizgr8 Lmao that makes sense, I believe that comment was posted at the same time as mine @Ashina is right and that's REALLY funny

Why did Leon keep airballing all his shots in that Direct trailer? Does Leon shout spoilers every time he shoots infected? No wonder they turned on aim assist for him later in the trailer lmao
