Loltendo of America strikes again. They even have the gall to ask you to verify your age before accessing the page.

Inin Games has posted a new tweet, retracting their "smaller-size cart" comment.

They are still going to ship R-Type Dimensions III on a physical cart with a 10 bucks markup, so who knows whether they revealed something they shouldn't have yet or just made an honest mistake.

"To really illustrate how poor this is, DF states that the lag is perhaps worse than "most, if not all" cloud streaming services."

Worse than the Switch's cloud offerings? That's quite the achievement, if true.

"Game's performance is terrible on Switch 2!"

Switch 1 owners:

"Metroid Prime 4 underperforms in UK."
"Metroid Prime 4 underperforms in Japan."

McKenzie bros., I don't feel so good...

"It's a bit of a joke at this point how often we release Skyrim"
Not at this point, friend. It's been close to, um, a decade.

Disappointing. I mean, it would have been impossible to not have some degree of disappointment after 8 years of waiting, but I really thought that Retro Studios could have done better. Even if you removed the annoying NPCs and the pointless desert exploration, it would still be linear, easy (Thanks Retro for locking Hard mode. Very cool.) and uninspired (Was it really necessary to have the Volt Forge repeat itself thrice? Was it really necessary to have all those stupid double doors in Flare Pool? And what's with the names of those locations? Ice Belt? Really? Couldn't you have gone for something more exotic sounding?) I have enjoyed it somewhat so far, but no way it gets higher than 6.

Yay! Down with that pesky competition! The less players in the scene, the better!

Already preordered and there's a good chance I'll be disappointed, but I have waited this game for too many years to turn back now.

"Normal mode Metroid has only two organs"
"Only hard mode Metroid has the standard three organs"

What did Retro mean by this?

Timesplitters actually catching a break? That was not on my bingo card.

@HammerKirby
No, they were negative about a Switch port! Ban them, BAN THEM!

And it only took... 7 years. It's funny that the Nintendo emulators had rewind before button remapping.

Yay, another already-translated remaster. What's next? A remaster of Tales of Symphonia Remastered?

Thanks Nintendo of America from protecting us from a worldwide PSP release. Very cool.

It's confirmed for Japan.

Makes no difference for me. I wasn't going to buy it anyway.

"Quick Nintendo! Buy a company that has been producing flops! I'll be sad if it closes! "

Good. Anything that can hamper Nintendo's lolsuits is always a plus.

"Hey, we know we will be releasing a subpar version of the game 20 months after other platforms, but can you pretty please pay the full price for it? Oh, and we'll still not be including Episode Aigis on the Premium Edition, so can you also pay for it separately? We really appreciate it, you're such a good ̶s̶u̶c̶k̶e̶r̶ customer."

No. 70 bucks for such a lazy remaster is a ripoff.

The genie is out of the bottle. Are you a bad enough army of lawyers to banish it back?

They could start by finally bringing the Abyssal Terrors DLC on Switch. It has been available on all other platforms for close to a year now.

"Unreal Engine 5"
"Japanese-only voice acting"

It will run terribly and will deprive us of gems such as those below:

They seriously mention this the day the game releases? And they even include a typo in the apology.jpg?

Weak.

"I am not cheating, I am just feature progressing!"

"Protects from piracy" LOL.
"Physical items have a lifespan". Ah OK, so if I break a Game Key Card, it will totally and magically still work on the Switch 2, right?

Maybe he would have a point if you could, you know, actually use the bloody digital download without the "lifespan-degrading" physical component!

You know what would actually be worthy of 70 bucks? If Nintendo made a proper All-Stars 3D (not that lazy slap 3 roms and call it a day fomo) and included Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and the two Super Mario Galaxies with the first two having their graphics remade in the Galaxy engine.

@Zeebor15
Maybe it wouldn't scale well to 4K monitors, who knows. It's not like Square Enix is consistent with what they port and what they remake (see Star Ocean 1 and 2).

40 bucks should have been the price for both games, not just one.

@Zeebor15
To bring it to more platforms, likely. The first remake was only released on 3DS+Mobile.

The bike is a very mysterious inclusion. I could accept it if it's the result of the poor gunship biting the dust, but even then, why didn't they make it hover?

This is Baldur's Gate 3 for indie developers.

@Coxula
There will be a physical release only for the first Switch. For Switch 2, there will be a code-in-a-box release only in Japan.

A Frankensteinian creation that relies on pirates? LMAO.

"Featured Games"
"Resident Evil Cloud Version"

Uh-oh, bad foreshadowing.

@garfreek
Cloud data should last for 6 months without a subscription:

Kirby Air Riders is a Switch 2-only title; gotta have something for the Switch 1 people. November sounds like a good month for it.

@Toastmaster
I know that. The article I posted talks about Atari's (Infogrames) bankruptcy in 2013 where they ended up selling a lot of their games to companies such as Nordic (now known as Embracer) and Tommo. They did eventually reemerge next year and somehow managed to keep chugging along, until their transformation in 2021 to the current back-to-the-roots Atari.

How the tables have turned:

Well, the game has already been available on PC ever since March. Would a delay really help them?

Damned by faint praise.

Not a single mention of an upgrade path on PC. Meanwhile, the Asian PC version costs 40 bucks for owners of the original, which is still pricey, but better than nothing.

"Elden Ring on Switch 2 is a disaster in handheld mode"

Ah, the exact words one wants to hear after spending half-a-grand on a brand new console.
