@Octane_st1m That mabey true. I double dip on games that support local wireless play anyway, so the friends pass means nothing to me. If you have a Series X or PS5, I suggest playing It Takes Two on one of those consoles. For higher resolution and smooth 60fps performance with split screen. You and your wife should have fun with this game. My girlfriend and I enjoyed playing this and overcooked together.
@JustMonika 40 years? How old are you exactly? Haha just kidding. I'll add those to the ever growing wish list. Thanks, I appreciate the recommendations!
@JustMonika oh okay, lol. I prefer physical over digital, so if you have any other suggestions with physical releases for Switch and or PS5, I'm all ears haha!
Even though I have the PS4 version, I want 2 copies of the Switch version, since it supports local wireless play. But not at full price, I'll wait until it drops down to $20 or less..
I'm still waiting for 2TB micro sd cards to become a thing. My 1TB cards have around 190gb left, and my collection is 95% physical. I was sure that 1TB cards would be enough to last me the entire Switch generation, but it doesn't seem like it anymore...
I can't wait to play Bayonetta 3, it might be the game I play on Halloween! I've got my Collector's Edition pre-ordered, along with a physical copy of Bayonetta 1 for Switch. I also purchased the 10th anniversary collection of Bayonetta 1/ Vanquish, just to Bayonetta on my PS5!
Just picked up a copy of Ryza 2 on sale last week from Best Buy. I haven't played it yet. I'll definitely pick up a copy of Ryza 3 on release, assuming it will have a physical version of course.
@JustMonika That's true. I didn't think about Play-Asia. Besides, I have a list of games I wanted to order from them anyway. I've never heard of Food Girls, but now I'm interested to look it up, lol.
I'm really looking forward to this one. Any word on a physical release? I know Fatal Frame 5 wasn't released here physically in the states, so I imported a copy off Amazon. I'll do the same with this, if available. I should probably get a physical copy of Fatal Frame 5 for PS4 also...
Edit: Just ordered a copy of Fatal Frame Maiden of Black Water for PS4. Now I have the Switch & PS4 versions. I want physical copies of this for Switch & PS4 also!
My Collector's Edition is sitting on the shelf. I bought the PS4 version to play on my PS5. I didn't know how well the Switch version would perform. Guess I'll wait a little while and watch the second season before I start playing it.
Still waiting for physical pre-orders to go up here in the US. All of my other September/October/November games have been pre-ordered since last month...
Such an amazing game and the voice acting is top notch, from the complete cast. And I love the art style, so much so that I'm constantly taking pictures and screenshots when I play this game!
Started The Last of Us Part 1 last night, and what an upgrade visually and sound quality wise from the Remaster on PS4. My most favorite thing about the game is hands down the included gyro controls, thanks Naughty Dog! Made in Abyss Collector's Edition was delivered yesterday also, but that and Soul Hackers 2 will be on the backlog until I Platinum TLOU Part 1. Other then that, I'm still finishing up side quests on Xenoblade Chronicles 3 (120 hours) it seems like this game will never end! I love it but I'm kinda getting burned out and ready to move on. I'll probably play some TMNT Cowabunga Collection on the side, when I need a break from the other 2 games.
I don't worry about burn in, but either way, it's a risk I'll take. My LG OLED tv's & Switch OLED have me spoiled. I could never go back to a LED/LCD tv. I can't even play my Switch Lites anymore and my ACNH Switch consoles stay docked to both of my OLED tv's. The vibrant colors and inky blacks are a sight to behold!
So glad I double dipped! My Collector's Edition for Switch & standard edition for PS5 will be delivered tomorrow! I never thought I'd see Turtles in Time & Tournament Fighters released on modern platforms, but here we are. I'll probably pick up a copy for Series X as well, when the price drops. These games are my childhood! I'm so excited!
I want it to be good, but unfortunately Sonic games have been more miss than hit over the past 20 plus years. With so many other games coming out for the rest of the year and early next year, I'll most likely have to wait for a price drop either way.
Still playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3. I should be done soon. After XC3 I was thinking of starting XC Definitive Edition over, since i didn't finish it last time. My copy of Soul Hackers 2 (PS5) will be arriving today, so I'll probably play that. And mabey some Dying Light 2 co-op on Series X with a friend.
Was able to pre-order the Cowabunga Collection Collector's Edition last week! I'm so excited for that!
I finally ordered my own copy of Mario Party Superstars (played my sister's copy since release) which will be delivered tomorrow along with Soul Hackers 2 (PS5).
Give me local wireless play for the Switch version. Then I'll buy 2 copies. I was disappointed Moving Out didn't have it. The Overcooked games support local wireless, so why can this?
Even though I can play this on my PS5 at 60fps, I still prefer to play it in handheld mode on my Switch OLED. Day 1 pick-up. Hopefully Nier Replicant will come to Switch also.
@shinesprite That mabey true, but I don't have an hdmi converter for Gamecube to compare. The Wii to hdmi adapter looks good to me, plus I can use progressive scan for games that support it (Luigi's Mansion, Mario Kart Double Dash, Mario Sunshine, ect) I wanted to get component cables for my Gamecube, but those are really expensive nowadays...
@SilverdudeOmni Sorry, I wish I could help. I don't use an Elgato and I never have. Mabey someone else on here can help you out. Hopefully you get it figured out soon.
I'll stick with my WaveBird wireless controllers. I have 3, I just need to get one more. Besides, I usually play Gamecube games on my Wii, so I can use hdmi (Wii to hdmi adapter) on my LG C1 OLED.
@Mioaionios That's interesting. I didn't finish XC1, even though I put almost 100 hours into it. Playing XC3 has motivated me to go back and start XC1 all over and complete it this time. I hear a lot of complaints about XC2, but I picked up a copy a few months ago anyway. I don't want to play it until I beat XC1 and find a copy of Torna first. Do you know if XCX for Wii U is worth buying?
@Mioaionios Respect to you! Finishing Xenoblade 3 and starting a new game plus right after!? I'm loving the game, but I couldn't do that! And playing with no fast travel this time? Madness hahaha. I'm curious, did you do the same with Xenoblade 1 & 2 ?
Still playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3 daily (80 hours) so many side quests. I must finish them all! Other then that, mabey Blue Reflection on PS5. But most likely XC3 all weekend.
Pre-ordered a physical copy of Quake for PS5 & Switch from Best Buy! It's amazing how much support this game has received! However, I hope the Switch version gets local wireless play support soon.
These look nice, I'll get a pair for my Switch OLED. I have 3 pairs of Split Pad Pro's which I like but don't really use anymore because I kinda replaced them with the Bin Bok Joy Con, which are more comfortable, plus they have gyro and standard rumble. I usually prefer to play in handheld mode but lately I've been playing my ACNH Switch docked to my LG C1 OLED tv with the Pro Controller. Mabey these will help me go back to playing handheld more often.
I'll be picking up a physical copy asap! I bought True Colors on sale for PS5 because of the delayed Switch version, but I'll pick up a copy for Switch when it goes on sale.
Edit: Since both games won't be available on the cart, I'll wait for a price drop of around $20 to pick it up.
Still playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3 (50 hours) and loving it. GOTY contender definitely. Just started Blue Reflection Second Light on my PS5, I enjoyed it so much on Switch, that I had to pick up the PS4 copy as well. Nothing much on Series X at the moment, mabey the new Saints Row game will change that. We will see.
@UltimateOtaku91 Even with the cloud version you never know. Not that I'm waiting for it, but shouldn't the cloud version of Dying Light 2 for Switch have released by now? Or was it canceled?
I still find it hard to believe this is coming to Switch, besides being a cloud version. The delay is fine. PS5 version day 1. I'll pick up a copy for Switch if it reviews well.
I must admit that I have seen more price drops than usual for Nintendo first party games at Best Buy. Usually no lower than $39.99, but it's something. I buy most first party Nintendo games day 1 anyways, and double dip on the ones that support local wireless play, but it would be nice to quadruple dip on games that support it (Smash Bros, Mario Kart, ect) but not at $60 each. Hopefully Nintendo Selects will be available sometime in the near future. If Switch was my only console, it would be a different story. But I have plenty of PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Series X games to purchase, not to mention all the 3rd party games that constantly release on Switch that I can't keep up with.
@Roz1281 I didn't know that. I appreciate the info. I have some imports I wanted to order from Play Asia, so I'll probably add that to the list. Even tho I just pre-ordered the PS5 version...
I missed out on a physical copy of the first game. But I'm glad to see it's coming to Best Buy for PS5, so I won't miss it this time! Hopefully this has a physical release as well, so I can pick up a copy for Switch & PS5!
