Really...SEGA isn't doing anyone any favors. Paying full price for the Switch 2 version with no offer of a upgrade for those who bought the Switch release...
Only silver-lining is transferring your save but that's about it. I'm not surprised if many decide to pass on it. Who knows...
I'm just too mentally numb to care...at least GKCs are the lesser of the two evils. You still get the game physically & still have to put in the game cart itself to even play it at all. So it's still how full game cards work anyways.
Though I still think for those who complain of having to be tired of switching game cards...I chalk it up to being lazy & spoiled by convienence honestly. Not insulting...just a opinion of mines. Doesn't make it the ultra truth. Just how I'm mentally wired...or...think or whatever...Eh.
I certainly remember those times of when I would play Super Mario 64, Kirby 64, & Yoshi's Story all night...even on a school night...on my Atomic Orange N64. Though later lost it or something when I was moving elsewhere...
Honestly...I forgotten how long it was when I had the N64 back in the 2000's...when I was fine with using the controller. But...ever since then...I feel like I've forgotten the comfort of using one. Although I didn't actually wear mines down as the console was only about...eh...10yrs old by that point. Sadly...I lost my console over the years...I can't even remember when though...
I can share that sentiment too. I've never was really taken by trading cards of any kind. Except maybe Bionicle but even I fell off those as quickly as I did. I have no love for trading cards as I prefer collecting DVDs/Blu-rays/HD-DVDs. At least those you can find value in them for a long time & worth the money.
What I don't understand is why every other Yoshi game has to measure up to Yoshi's Island in the first place when each of them could stand on their own merit. I'll never understand it...
I stopped caring about Genshin Impact. Played it on PS4 but just couldn't click with it back in 2020. Mihoyo ended PS4 support anyways. So no skin off my bones.
I really need to get Melty Blood soon...but I can't wait for this one. The only Type Moon related games I did play was Fate/EXTRA & Extella. That's about it...aside from FGO...
This is why I buy on Ebay...by looking at the photos before BUYING. If a seller is using a stock photo of said game then I skip them & look of other listings.
Yeah...nice as this looks...I got a case that can hold both my Switch & game cards. So I really don't need this. Plus...Steelbooks aren't really thing. They tend to get dented easily if you're not careful...
It's kinda...not easy seeing the FULL difference here...aside from resolution. The SW2 version is just a little bit sharper...but other than that...not much else...
@TheRazor I get that but not everyone or very many are willing to shell out $80+ for the Switch 2 Pro controller.
And for me...not having the wake feature is well worth the sacrifice for the lower price. There are many factors to consider for different folks. Flexibility is key at times. Besides...it ain't like I'm too lazy to get up and turn on the Switch 2 myself cuz it's easy to do that.
I'm hoping they can get all the updates before June 26 arrives...cause when that day comes, I'm gonna get it either way...regardless if the OG music come back or not.
I ain't backing down on NOT buying a game that is $30.
@Fighting_Game_Loser Well, support for PS4 version game releases have been trickling down since last year anyways. Many companies are going for PS5 now & skipping PS4. Except for Switch, of course.
@JayJ It's why I prefer to keep politics & gaming separate in my opinion. Just having that political slop with gaming news just muddies the experience. Especially when folks go out their own way to being ridiculously petty in a effort to prove a point or whatnot...
It is what it is...though I will say that I do wish I was the one in charge of the whole USA...I'd be killing them tariffs in a heartbeat & replacing them with cheaper ones. Fix the housing crisis...cleaning up Trump mess...ect...I can dream...
@Corsich Thankfully mines haven't. Course that doesn't mean I'm in the clear...I have yet to buy a new PSP battery but I will soon enough. The Vita, on the other hand, is a different story...
@Corsich Speaking of which...for all the time I've owned my OG Phat DS...I never once needed to change it's battery. It's still going strong & all. Same for my 2ds & DSi.
I'm sure I will have to replace their battery at some point. Same for the PSP & Vita...
@SillyG Actually I don't think Sword/Shield did. Cause when I bought mines...it had everything on the cart. Never heard of them getting reprints as far as I'm concerned...
@Coalescence Yet I've seen bootlegs, or rather unofficial carts, being sold on ebay for about $30. Yes...I bought two DS ones for that amount but they play just as well as the authentic carts. Certainly better than paying a $100 for the real deal.
I have to say Zubat. Granted...Zubat is not the strongest when you first caught it...but with a little patience...it can be strong early in the game. Especially after it evolves into Golbat then, when friendship is high, it finaly becomes Crobat. Plus, Crobat is my main Flying type in Pokemon Platinum.
I mean...there's no doubt it'll do well. I'm certain that it will do just fine. Just that I'm not particulary interested is all...besides...simulation games aren't really my forte or cup of tea due to my short attention span.
So...it's a pass for me. Still...this does have potential though. No doubt about that.

Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie Streaming Release Date Confirmed (US)
@KayFiOS Most companies do that for some of their Blu-ray & 4K releases these days. Back then it was DVDs that did mostly.
It's pretty standard imo nowadays.
Though...I'll get this when it hits bargain price...at least for the blu-ray or DVD, that is.
Re: It's Looking Likely That Switch 2 Will Have A Handheld PS6 Competitor

Re: Hacker Group Claims To Have Stolen Nintendo Data, Posts $2 Million Ransom
850mb...? That's hardly big enough...but what do I know about gigabytes of data...
Kinda weird to demand a ransom sum of that amount of money in comparison to the size of the data they stole...

Re: Here's A Look At Some Rayman Legends Retold Gameplay & Those All-Important Switch 2 Specs
Hm...seems a bit TOO accurate to the original Rayman Legends in terms of the level designs of the first few stages...
Though I'm sure they'll be adding some new twists of sorts...I hope. But I'm more interested in Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition though.

@Nep-Nep-Freak Mind providing some context here? Think that might help in understanding of WHAT exactly was censored.
Cuz last I've played it back in 2014 on the vita, I didn't noticed anything out of the ordinary that was censored.

Re: Poll: Super Mario Galaxy Movie Characters Compared, Film Vs. Game Designs - Which Are Best?
Game design as always for me. That's a unspoken rule to me anyways. Just my opinion though.
But I will say that Star Fox's movie design is actually pretty good. Doesn't deviate too much from his game design honestly.

@Tasuki Trying to prove a point isn't any better, Tasuki. I would think we all would know that by now...
Plus, I'm not really buying the whole thing anyways. Good luck telling everyone else otherwise though.

Impressive honestly...just a saying.
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 9 Pokémon?
I'd say...Scovillain. Not often you'd get a Grass/Fire type...or one based on a chili pepper.
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 8 Pokémon?
I say Arctozolt. Love the way it walks & stands honestly.
Re: PSA: Pokémon FireRed And LeafGreen Switch Preloads Are Now Live
@shoeses I imagine 10 bucks of one version each both in a combo...then it's worth 20.
Now imagine if Nintendo released Ruby, Sapphire, & Emerald...then I can guess that the triple bundle would $30 at most while $10 for each version.
Re: PSA: Pokémon FireRed And LeafGreen Switch Preloads Are Now Live
@Coalescence Yet I've seen bootlegs, or rather unofficial carts, being sold on ebay for about $30. Yes...I bought two DS ones for that amount but they play just as well as the authentic carts. Certainly better than paying a $100 for the real deal.

Kartana for me.
Re: Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition Is Getting A Physical Switch Release

Re: Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition Is Getting A Physical Switch Release
@Lizuka Speaking of the music...aren't the other versions not affected? I only saw folks on Youtube mention the PS1 version being affected.
If that's the case then the Atari Jaguar, MS-DOS, GB, & GBA versions are fine.
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 1 Pokémon?
I have to say Zubat. Granted...Zubat is not the strongest when you first caught it...but with a little patience...it can be strong early in the game.
