@Erigen the Wii U was exceptionally badly marketed. Now we have Nintendo Directs which tend to dominate gaming news whenever they occur. I think Nintendo’s brand has never been in a stronger position.

@Tourtus I think fundamentally Nintendo just has a crazy big stick up their butt about IP control.

Looks like a marked improvement over wave 1.

Such a comfort game. Looking forward to replaying it this Winter with tea and a blanket.

No better way to celebrate your most famous game than by completely missing the point of it

She’s finally here, performing for you!

@Bobb the whole movie is hilariously vulgar in a way it really didn’t need to be but adds to the charm. There is so much swearing. Pretty sure Guile says f*ck at one point.

Resident Evil as a gameplay experience tends to prop up the ludicrous storytelling, which makes adaptations to other media a hard sell for me. The recent remakes are a good nudge towards realism, but even then one of the main antagonists is a big plodding brute in a fedora.

@Olliemar28 and Cuphead!

Looking forward to watching this struggle to crack 60 on Metacritic

This is the kind of thing that makes me happy to support Nintendo

Sums up my thoughts exactly. The games at their core are still brilliant but as a remaster, I’m left a bit cold.

I’m confused, which Nintendo villain is she named after?

@Piyo it feels like Namco has set it up to fail with the pricing and lack of promotion.

It’s a pretty lacklustre package if you’re judging it as a rerelease, and a €50 one at that. It’s very much just the two games and nothing else. It’s not something I’d say you need to kick down someone’s door to play, but if you like platformers, you should check it with out when it’s perhaps cheaper.

One Winged Angel plays

Nintendo heard y’all were talking ***** about the new 1 2 Switch

Absolutely brilliant expansion. The difficulty has got me rethinking my load out again, causing me to fall in love with the grind all over again.

Donkey Kong Country Returns Returns

Ooh interesting. Mega Man seems like such a no brainier for this that I’m surprised they haven’t already done it.

That’s cool. Wonder if he’ll donate them when he’s an old man.

The judge from Ace Attorney needs a look in, but otherwise great list

Pour one out for you he social media intern who probably begged them not to do this

Drastic situations require drastic measures.

Happy direct to everyone except the people who said a third party showcase was a waste of time.

Feel like this was made for my friend

Oh heck yeah, this is awesome. Mega Man might not be big enough to get a whole lot of sequels nowadays, but keep the back catalogue coming. Hopefully Legends will get a rerelease someday.

Mario vs Rabbids. Maybe that gorgeous Dragon Quest III remake? And a cool surprise please.

This looks great! Reminds me a lot of (don’t kill me) the slice of life parts of Persona 5 where you can just roam Japan and chill with the locals.

Luigi’s Mansion 4, but Waluigi is the Scooby Doo villain causing all the convoluted spooky shenanigans.

@DarthFoxMcCloud I don’t really don’t understand how Nintendo putting GBA games on the Switch is meant to improve the state of the world lol. Some of you need to stop overly investing your personal happiness in what video games a corporation may or may not decide to announce.

@BanjoPickles Monster Hunter, Triangle Strategy and Klonoa are all I plan to play for Summer. Then Crisis Core Remake in Winter.

Again, Nintendo’s got a rock solid release schedule for the rest year with some of their biggest IP getting new instalments in Pokémon, Splatoon and Xenoblade. I imagine we’ll start seeing new first party announcements crop up around September if they do a direct then. Kirby wasn’t at E3 last year but was announced in September and released in Spring.

That said, Mario vs. Rabbids plssssss.

Wind Waker breathed some much needed variety into the series, I think. It allowed Zelda to be more than just one particular flavour, and I doubt the likes of Skyward Sword, Breath of the Wild, Link’s Awakening on Switch, or the overwhelming majority of handheld entries that came after would be the same without its willingness to break the mould.

Sega has screwing up extremely sure bets down to a science at this point.

I find it so funny, reading about how they keep talking up this role as a game changing, earth shattering performance, and then remembering it’s for the Mario movie.

@Coalescence did you somehow miss the part where Kotick left a voice message to his assistant, threatening to have her killed?

Never buying an Activision Blizzard game again. Simple as that for me.

XC1 is one of the all time greats for me. Never played 2 and the more I hear about it, the less I want to. Maybe 3 will get me back into the series.

@KayFiOS yeah Advance Wars is the main one for me. Like, the game’s done. It’s just sitting there, I presume.

Nintendo’s 2022 has been pretty stacked and there’s still some high profile titles to come that we know about. I can personally live with it if there’s no general Direct for summer.

@Browny Final Fantasy VII is the ultimate “at the time” game. I think its legacy is earned, but being at the cutting edge of 1997 bodes badly in a medium as rapidly evolving as this.

Remember Nintendo fans, Nintendo hates you and there’s no reason to stick up for them.

Looking forward to seeing this struggle to crack 60 on Metacritic later this year

@nessisonett agree totally. I don’t think people want more Mother, just more experiences that remind them of Mother, and on that front, we live in the best timeline.

It lives! If I’m not mistaken, Team Cherry is the skeletoniest of skeleton crews. This must’ve been an enormous undertaking. Looks amazing.

Deeply sad news. A young and talented artist who seemed like a very bright spark in the lives of everyone he knew. I‘ll be sure to do a Black Eagles run in his honour the next time I play Three Houses.

@BinaryMessiah as I understand it, Nintendo doesn’t fully own Mother. Creator Shigesato Itoi needs to sign off on anything related to the IP, which is why all these fan projects have been thus far able to evade the Nintendo Ninjas.

Playing Earthbound on the SNES app for the Switch. Either you’re into it or you’re not, but it holds up really well in my opinion. It’s easy to see what makes it so special and why it sprouted a legion of fans that are still passionate about it to this day.

25m from Donkey Kong, let’s gooooo!
