Indika is so good! My roommates and I are playing it together, highly reccommend it

Movie theater employees everywhere are already filling out new job applications

From what I read, the term "new" implies how many games do I remove the shrink-wrap on, or how many digital games do I pay full price for at launch? Yeah, that number has definitely gone down for me recently.

I KNEW I heard the Pikmin motifs at the beginning there!

Because when you hand a controller to a friend, you may not want them accidentally (or maliciously) opening the home menu every few minutes or taking a million pictures to be funny

@Ooyah The order you play them in doesn't matter, each game is a different character's "personal hell." Perhaps the one game I'd play after the first is Silent Hill 3 since it concerns a character in the first game and her own personal traumas, otherwise the characters don't really know each other or interact in any sequential way.

I was just thinking about this game while playing Silent Hill f. I would definitely be willing to double dip for a Switch 2 release. It was so good.

@FishyS Strange- I just completed Klonoa on Switch 2 and seemingly had no issues with it. I'm curious what's happening when you play it?

"OK you can see me now"

Yayyyy the love for Silent Hill f is greatly appreciated as a fan who watched the series fall off the face of the Earth for several years... Aside from a Pachinko machine or two.

"You've played Yoshi's Crafted World... prepare for Inti's Crafted Girls"

@elliebean666 Just so you know we've now created two different timelines 😉

Nintendo really Britta'ed it.

5 years ago we were thinking "man, we're really in need of some good 3D platformers" but nowadays we're eatin' good.

Not surprised, though I do want them to keep making original experiences. I'm extremely excited to check out their Silent Hill 1 remake, hopefully they can take on a brand new Silent Hill because if anyone can, it's the folks who somehow didn't mess up Silent Hill 2.

It may sound stupid, but my sister and I played Mario Galaxy by passing the controller after each death, so this mode gave the inactive player something to do and keep them engaged. I thought it was a cute li'l addition

First person. All the way.
(Hopefully in VR. I want it to be a completely blind VR playthrough like I had with 7 but we'll see)

Still really cool that this game is handheld. We spent 8 years on Switch 1, it's weird how I've watched this fandom suddenly become frame-counters. It makes me feel like we've truly plateau'd in terms of video game improvements. We knew going into this gen that S2 was going to be like a portable PS4 Pro, this is a PS5 generation game. The drop in performance makes sense.

It.... looks like Yakuza. I'm... definitely going to play it.

I played a bit on PS5, I already know it's for me I just need to commit. I can usually finish longer RPGs on handheld easier than TV.

I am stoked for the return of this series. I've tried a few Layton-likes but nothing scratches my brain-teaser-itch in quite the same way. I still have a couple games to work through though, so they can take their time.

I still want to play Village but I don't have PSVR2 yet and RE7 was one of the most unforgettable VR experiences I've ever had. I almost hope there is no VR mode for Requiem so I can play it on Switch 2 without the FOMO.

Yayyyy I've been on the verge of buying this for the PS2 but it's such a pain to keep hooking up old consoles. Now I'm set.

I bought it on launch day but I've been busy catching up with the two Yakuza games on Switch 2 as well as DK. Just yesterday though my roomies and I finally took a stab at playing it together and we love it so far. (My roommate said she thought we were playing on PS5 and she was surprised when I undocked my Switch)

Oh man, when this comes out it's going to be difficult to put down my other favorite game, Donuki Diddy. When am I ever going to finish Metoroidu Ridley? My life will be incomplete if I don't have time to play Zeruda Tingle!

Wowww! I just finished Yakuza 0 and Kiwami 1 so I guess I am very ready to make this the year I finally play Yakuza. I'm dreading the turn-based ones so I may give those a miss... We'll see.

I will always respect the dedication to releasing a competent product. Of course, I was going to wait on this game anyway, so I feel for the people who were hotly anticipating this.

That's pretty cool. I see Kawamoto turned his suit size down a few notches (even though bigger suits are a trendy thing now in Japan)

I'm curious to see how Silent Hill f will fare in these sales numbers!

Which console I purchase it on depends entirely on if the PS5 version will support VR. Simple as that.

I tried to finish this game, I really did... I've worked my way through lots of bad games and sometimes even enjoyed the experience. The Touryst was not abysmal, but a vapid experience and the good parts were giving me nothing that I felt was worth the stress. Sorry.

@AltCode It kinda makes sense. It's like "halloween" horror as opposed to "Ahhhh" horror. More Luigi's Mansion than Resident Evil 7.

OH MY GOB they got DINKUM on this thing?

This looks sick! I am working my way through all the FPS games that defined the genre, so Wolfenstein, Doom, Duke Nukem, and I'm on Quake rn. This seems like a perfect companion title like Dusk. So pumped!

I'm all for accessibility cuz sometimes you just get really tired of redundant battles or sudden difficulty spikes but you're too far in to give up on it (looking at you, Control). Sometimes you're too busy in adult life to obsess over a boss fight.

I will agree on this only as long as Nintendo plans to treat our digital games the way Steam does. If I bought a game on steam in my childhood, I can still download and play that game no problem today. However, it remains to be seen id all our Switch 1 games will still be there when we pick up a Switch 3 in several years.

This sounds awesome! I hope it supports the stereoscopic 3D because that would be a kicker to check out.

I think I'll be getting the cartridge because I want a cart copy of SMG2. Only other copy I have is on WiiU on a rickety external hard drive, so I want to get a more secure package that's future-proofed a bit.

@Yosher I'm gonna guess that the movie will be based on Mario World and Galaxy 1/2. That's my hopium.

A lovely replica of Rosalina's storybook costs less than a single Kirby Air Riders Amiibo. Keep this in mind.

My eyes! Is somebody cutting onions?? Fess up!

Man, there's a "2" at the end so now I feel compelled to find a way to play them in order...
Why does my brain do this to me

This trap caught me off guard because I never was or will be a fan of soulslike games and I'm not going to play this game whatsoever.

Magical Starsign was awful... I'm sorry.

@Coxula Agreed. People shouldn't hate on them for leaks, we aren't Nintendo's bodyguards. People should hate their horrendous Switch 2 case with the worst zipper I have ever had the displeasure of using. 😉

Ah, look, it's the creators of possibly the worst console carrying case I've ever owned. The zipper on mine broke the day after I bought it. And this was supposedly a "fixed" model. Do yourselves a favor and buy a tomtoc case instead. I will never let them live this down.

@Guitario This take is understandable, though, I find console launches fun for this reason. They always force me to try new games I'd never think to play with a bigger lineup. I wouldn't have played Street Fighter 4 if it wasn't a 3DS launch title and I had a lot of fun! I have owned Yakuza 0 for years on PS4 but because it's on S2 I finally jumped into the series. Your opinion is valid though.

I mean, to most silksong is absolutely worth $20 but to me it's not, since I dislike metroidvanias and soulslike games. Just because this game provides excellent value doesn't mean it devalues your game by its own merit. What Remains of Edith Finch is a short gem I'd gladly pay $30 for if it released now, Sayonara Wild Hearts is a wonderful 1 hour game I'd pay $30 for if I had to. It's up to the individual consumer and the quality of the product to decide what price is fair. What gap in the market is your game filling? Does your game provide something no other game at this time does? Or are you selling another zeldalike, another platformer, another metroidvania in a market filled to the brim with metroidvanias? Silksong is filling a gap by doing its own thing. It's not just a metroidvania, not just a soulslike but something you can't get your fill with a million other ways. If Nintendo released the next 3D Zelda tomorrow for $1 you'd point and say "that's not fair." but eventually everyone will own the game and move on, people won't just buy 1$ Zelda over and over. Maybe they'll go buy Mina the Hollower next for $40.

Finally! My favorite Switch game, "Mon-Yu: Defeat Monsters And Gain Strong Weapons And Armor. You May Be Defeated, But Don't Give Up. Become Stronger. I Believe There Will Be A Day When The Heroes Defeat The Devil King" is playable on Switch 2!

I survived the 3DS launch on street fighter 4 and pilotwings alone, it's almost refreshing to see a launch library with too many games I want to play. Yakuza 0 was great, Split Fiction is an incredible port, Cyberpunk could keep me busy for a year, DKB I haven't even scratched the surface, and MKW has become my go-to "let's play something together" game

SOMA next! SOMA next!
