Well, now where am I going to go to trade in the lightly used NFTs I don't want anymore for a slight percentage of its full market value?

250+ comments deep, but I'm here to say that the guy at the top who said "Switch Flip" is probably closest.

Switch 2 will have a foldable screen. Technology is ready for it.

My gut says that we'll see Smash Ultimate as a launch title for the 'Switch 2' with all DLC and spirits included.

I think we'll get an announcement for Switch's successor this year, but won't see a release until 2025. I'm sure that we'll have one more solid Direct drop another big game or two, but nothing too crazy. With the recent news that Smash Bros will be adding new spirits for games like TotK and Mario Wonder, I'd be willing to put money on a re-release with all DLC characters included.

I'm honestly astounded that after all these years, we never got any custom themes for the home menu. Not even an extra color option.

As a Dallas native, and Stars fan, this was a delightful surprise to stumble across this morning. I haven't really kept up with Hockey in about 10 years or so, but still glad to see.

"You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention."

My vote is for Vectorman! I dont think its Sega proper, but Blue Sky Entertainment shut down decades ago, so there's not much in the way of Sega snatching up the rights

@ottoecamn @blindsquirrel
He's in the Twisted Metal TV series, which you can find streaming on Peacock. I only know this, because he mentioned Peacock a couple times during that disjointed speech. Also, the event was held at the Peacock Theater, which probably answers a few questions about why all that went down.

@nessisonett Oh yeah! I remember that!
Geoff Keighley is such a tool, that I'm going to drop the charade, and just start spelling it "Jeff Keely" the way it should be.

Especially if you're using a translator, extra time should be given to accommodate.

But I also think that they were more ardent this year to avoid political speeches about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Especially after some kid in a suit demonstrated how easy it was to get on stage and go off about his reformed rabbi Bill Clinton.

Both games are fantastic NES titles that offer a lengthy adventure and replayability.

The only issue they have going against them is the fact that they are part of a franchise that have much stronger offerings in comparison. In both cases, the 3rd installments for NES were masterpieces of their franchise, even by today's standards.

Is Zelda II a bad Zelda game? YES! But is it a bad video game, overall? Absolutely not, and don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.

I got PinBot for the NES when I was a kid, and played it obsessively for a good long while.

Imagine my surprise when as an adult going to a retro arcade/bar, and finding out for the first time that PinBot was an ACTUAL pinball machine. It was amazing looking at the table and realizing what the mess of pixels was trying to depict.

I absolutely loved every game in the SteamWorld series, with the exception of SteamWorld Quest which I just "liked a lot"

I've got to wrap up Cult of the Lamb before I dive into another city-management game, but this is will be a "must buy" for me.

I was ardently collecting the full catalogs every season, but once TotK came out, I really fell off the bandwagon, and have been having trouble getting back on the saddle again.

Hopefully this new update is the one that ropes me back in before Side Order is released. I have a lot of catching up to do.

@canaryfarmer Would it make the Angels more or less scary if they came down in flying clown propeller cars?

At first glance, the article image made me think of "End of Evangelion." A Mario/Evangelion crossover is something I do not want, but would accept if given to me.

The Mario movie was perfect for what it needed to be, but what Zelda needs to be is far more than just bright colors and non-stop game references.

Zelda has a very rich lore, and even if they go the route of an all-new Hyrule and Link instead of taking the plot from a game, there's still a lot to tackle in a 90-120 minute film.

I would have felt more optimistic about a miniseries or a planned trilogy.

I've been dragging my feet on replacing my busted Pro Controller because I didn't feel like shelling out $60+ dollars, so this is a perfect solution.
Like others have mentioned, my SN30 Pro is wonderful and I trust the quality more than I do an official Nintendo product.

Echoing what @Rykdrew and @CJD87 said, but Inscryption comes HIGHLY recommended, and just happens to be a perfect fit for spooky season.

But DO NOT look up anything about the game before playing it. It truly is best to go in blind and let the story unwind itself as you go. Even a brief screenshot of late-game content can massively spoil some of the surprises the game has in store.

Annapurna is one of the only publishers I'd trust enough to buy a mish-mash of different games and genres in one collection. Even their "short & sweet" games leave a lasting impression.

Devolver Digital would also fall in this category.

Not gonna be able to get at my Switch for a couple days. Anyone know what the primary abilities on these pieces are?

Let's be fair, people... If after the big scary evil thing was slain, and then all the guardian tech did the "glow-blue-then-turn-to-spaghetti" thing and teleported away shortly after, I wouldn't think it necessary to go digging into why they disappeared. It seems like an open shut case.

That being said, it would have done a lot to actually have this said IN the game. Even a throw away line from an NPC would have gone a long way.

I like Pacman, I really do. It was one of the very first games I played on the Atari 2600. But Pacman 99 just never did it for me. Hopefully this go around will be more enthralling.

I prefer having a mix of physical and digital, as there's some games, like Metroid Dread, that I will play through once every year or two, and don't need it at the ready at all times taking up storage space.

Splatoon 3, on the other hand, I tend to pop in regularly for a few rounds between other games I'm playing. I went digital despite the file size, the collectors aspect of a physical box, and the appreciating resale value of said physical box down the line for the sake of convenience, and I dont regret it.

But for me, I guess it comes down to HOW much of a price difference we're talking about. If its significant enough, I might go for it.

And also, if my current digital library would transfer over. That would be pretty huge determining factor.

@smithyo That's completely valid, especially when your muscle memory has been wired that way from a young age. I also have friends who tend to move around more when playing, or make jerk reactions when the game gets more tense, and loathe having those real world movements reflected in the game they're playing.

Honestly, it's just best to offer the option for both

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one here with a hard line stance on gyro controls. I was never quite able to bridge the gap between WASD+Mouse and console controllers until Splatoon showed me the way.

I hit a wall when playing Doom 2016 where I couldn't beat the stage I was on. As soon as they updated the game with gyro controls, I was able to effortlessly pass the point I was stuck on. From that point on, gyro options became essential.

The graphics looks gorey and gorgeous and the gameplay really drew me in. Just tell me there's gyro and I'll fork over the cash.

@dBackLash I don't have it on Steam, but you make a compelling argument to double dip

I saw my boy The Defect on the article image and came running in. I'm STILL playing Slay the Spire, despite finally getting 100%, and beating the 20th Ascension with each main character (sorry, Watcher, but you don't count)

With nothing left to accomplish in the game, I put it down for quite a while before being drawn back in and deciding I'll try to beat the 20th Ascension WITH the 3 keys to fight the heart at the end. SURELY this will help my squeeze several more hours of playtime out if this game.

Also, F-Zero 99 and TotK

My phone is almost as old and broken as I am, so until I get a new one I have to ration my battery life carefully.

I'm a huge sucker for anything X-Men related, and have really caught the itch for card based strategy games. So, either it comes out on the Switch, or I buy a new phone, but someday I would love to give this a spin.

Got this on a whim and then promptly spent a couple weeks straight getting to 100%

I wasn't planning on getting any DLC, but I'll happily play a free update.

(P.S. Toast of London reference was greatly appreciated)

I know this wasn't SUPPOSED to be a Cartoon Network/Nickelodeon flash game appreciation thread... but here we are...

These were truly the pinnacle of website gaming at the time, and had more hits than misses. I remember getting enthralled in a Captain Planet strategy game for a good bit there.

As far as "Evergreen" titles go, MK8D is likely to stay in the top sellers until the Switch 2 comes out. Even then, I remember Mariokart Wii hanging in there long after the Wii's demise.

As soon as I saw the article's image of the T-Rex on the home page, I knew exactly what game was being showcased. And to find out its part of the collection is icing on the cake.

I grew up with the Ocean game on NES, but my friend's had the Sega version which I was always jealous of. The bass-heavy ambient music really gave it a memorable atmosphere.
This collection is the best of both worlds, and I'm 100% buying this now.

I'm horrible at this game. The highest rank I've been able to pull off is around #65. Its so chaotic, and you can lose whatever lead you had in a blink of an eye.

Dont get me wrong... I'm having a blast playing it. Its a fantastic game.

This was probably the biggest surprise for me out of the entire direct. The formula lends itself very well to the "99" format of games.

Tetris 99 was, and remains, an excellent title. But the Mario 35 game was a novelty at best. And Pacman 99 fell far short of the mark for me.

If the game still has a solid player base a few months from now, then this just might be the boost in popularity that F-Zero needs to score a new entry in the series.

I know Battle Royal style games have already had their moment in the sun, but a last-squid-standing 100 player arena would actually be a ton of fun.

No Triforce, and no Kass. 2/10

@Bunkerneath I'm in the same boat. I maxed out my hearts, and then capped my stamina bar at 2 wheels, and sold all the other heart/stamina vessles to the cursed statue. Its not ideal, but it appeases my ocd.

As someone who doesn't really follow the speed running community, I have no context for who she is, but the premise looks neat, and I'm interested in watching it from a cinematic stand point, as well as a big Zelda nerd. I guess I'll form my own opinions on the matter as I go along.

@RevrsblSedgewick Came here to post the same video. You beat me to the ITYSL reference.

Honestly, I think I prefer this method for online play. And I appreciate that its not just "couch co-op but laggy"

I stan for Big Man.

But why is he Red? Doesn't fit his color palate.

If only we could get miniature magnetized Zonai devices that can attach together. I know its not quite that simple to pull off, but it'd still be neat.

Snoopy will be in Smash. This basically confirms wave 3 DLC. Fingers crossed for a Woodstock Mii Fighter outfit.

I just received "Summer-Breaking Rookie of the Year"

No thanks, I'll stick with my current title of "The Very First President"

For me, I have the overwhelming urge to give my electronic devices a good smack to turn them off/on.

With a new chipset, and more powerful processing, I'm hoping this means the Switch successor will allow you to choose a 3rd color theme for the home menu. (Heck, maybe even a 4th color, but I'm not getting my hopes up)

Wave 3 DLC:
Master Chief
Shrek
Goku
Fortnite
Mike Jones & Navcom

Its been AGES since I played these last. The animal companions in this game really stand out in my memories. Why they have never brought Moosh back as reference in a Zelda title is beyond me.
