This is a bit a ironic as most of the people that now call themselves journalists are just giving hot takes, and not doing real, boots-on the-ground journalism. Nothing wrong with doing hot takes, but that's not the same thing as journalism.

I lost it as as soon as I saw the name Andrew K. All I can see is Andrew W.K. with a lab coat and clip board banging his head while he's cheering on whoever he's observing.

Put Eternal Champions 2 on the list and its an instant buy.

Mechanical buttons would be amazing if that's truly what it is, for the same reasons that membrane keyboards gross me out. And the best d-pad was on the Xbox type-s controller. Proper triggers would be nice, and just fix the drift. Also something just a little bigger would be nice. Not the size of the Xbox Duke, but a little bigger than it currently is.

What about Money Puzzle Exchanger? I wish the port had an online mode, but still. It one of the best arcade puzzlers.

I never felt that any of the puzzles in Brothers were difficult. I found that aspect to be rather underwhelming. It felt like I spent the entire game waiting for the tutorial to end. But the burial scene was truly unsettling in a way that no other game has ever been before.

I enjoy puzzle games, but this looks like it's just Tetris Attack without the sweet bass lines. Not enough to get me to buy the expansion pack.

I dig the art style, and it looks fun, but so many roguelites. Its got a maybe from me.

Reasonably well-rounded, but nothing that hot me really excited. I think the Indie World when they surprise dropped Axiom Verge 2 was the last time I was really excited watching a Direct.

And we still can't get Paperboy on Switch.

Seriously though,I might acrually buy a collection for the first time in a while, depending on the fame list.

Silksong confirmed? I mean, that os within twelve months of the other announcement.

I didn't even know there was an update coming out. Excited about that.

But what is that tiger sound at the end?

So hype! I remember seeing something about this some time ago. Despotism 3k was awesome. Can't wait. Curious if it will be a direct sequel story wise.

They have the perfect console. Just give me the same thing with more power under the hood, and let me transfer my library to the new console. If they do that, I'll be happy and they can have my money.

@Magrane

That's the one. It was really good for the hardware.

I don't remember what it was called, but I had the one for the original Gameboy. It was only five levels, but on a four hour car ride, with only two games, it got the job done. Assuming there was enough batteries.

There's only three games I'd even play.

Gem Fighters
Puzzle Fighter
Darkstalkers

That being the case, I'd be in at about $20.

Looks fun. The soundtrack is very A Hat In Time.

They're likely to make the same mistakes as Duke Nukem Forever and take it too seriously. He needs too be an old, haggard Duke in a movie that makes fun of him and the tropes of yesteryear. Past his prime as an action hero in a world that past him by but with a possibly comedic redemtion arc. I think Josh Brolin could pull it off.

So taking the action out of Dig-Dug, but replacing it with RPG stuff? Interesting.

It still won't save their dying ratings.

They may be saving a lot for a surprise Direct that turns out to be great. Who knows.

Anything Supergiant Games would be an automatic buy if I didn't already own all of them, and some on multiple platforms.

Also still holding hope to see if we get a June direct.

They like to announce Ditects last minute. And it would steal some thunder if they do. There's still hope

I just want Super Puzzle Fighter. I don't want to buy this or the Street Fighter Collection to get it. But it seems that this is the way it must be.

That doesn't sound good. But there could still be some neat stuff.

Happy for all the people excited about these, but I think its going to be a backlog month for me, unless we get some surprise drops this month.

@d-slice

I don't think he's capable of rest. Some people are just wired to keep working.

That's pretty rad. And slightly brightens my morning.

Why not just call it a Mystery or Detective game?

Genres can be useful for discussion. And I've heard this argument against things like Metroidvania before, but people who have never heard of things like this before, aren't likely to be having the discussion. It can also be helpful to people who have a limited budget know what they're getting into when choosing what game to buy with limited funds. The worst is Action-Adventure. It has become truly useless. Uncharted is way different than something like Psychonauts, but both could wear the genre title. The problem comes when people get super snobby about they're genre titles.

The same problem happens with music. Even genre terms breaking down into subgrnres makes sense, because power metal is wildly different from folk metal or thrash metal. But when someone says Post-hardcore-prog-math metal, this is useless and tends to discourage people and to turn them away from discovery.

Inb4 Silksong confirmed.

Seriously though, E3 had been kind of a joke for a few years. I do however, miss cramming all my gaming news attention into one week. It was a fun week.

The Switch PC combo is what I've been running for years. There's rarely an exclusive for Microsoft or Sony that grabs my attention. So between the two, I have access to almost everything I could want to play. Maybe once they come out with proper dock I'll give it a whirl, as the tv/portable aspect is one of my favorite things about the Switch.

Anything Waluigi is welcome. Still waiting for Sea Of Greed to get turned into an actual game.

I'm all for this kind of stuff IF I can transport games to whatever the Switch successor turns out to be. If I could do that, I'd by nore consoles in general.

If even the Nintendo fans that are avid enough users to be posting on websites aren't into it, that does cast a little doubt. But that doesn't count thr people who's parents are paying for it. I don't know a single person that has the expansion, but that is a very small sample size. Lol

Interesting in concept. And it looks pretty slick. Might be the first FPS ina while that I give it a shot.

I'm as excited as anyone else about Silksong, but at this point I want it to come out just so people will stop being so upset at every indie game that has the audacity to be revelaed before Silksong comes out. Not a lot that grabs my attention personally, but there's some real undeserved hate here. Just a handful of announcements. I really don't get it. Gunbrella and Elechead look pretty neat.

I don't think the Lee family has legal ground to stand on, but fighting that battle would make Capcom look really bad to a lot of people.

@AtlanteanMan

This seems like the most likely of everyone's hopes.

Silksoooooong!

But even without Silksong, Indie World is always my favorite Nintendo thing to watch. Aside from something like BOTW2, I rarely get excited about AAA titles anymore.

Drastic art style changes are always risky. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Look at the Link's Awakening remake. That was a big risk, but it looked great. I think this one is fine. It's kind of Schaffer meets Steamworld. I dig it

I was honestly not as crazy about Celeste's story as most. It was good, but not mindblowing. That said, its still an amazing game with some of the best platforming I've ever seen.

I was never an early game adopter. For years after the Xbox 360 I just stuck to my PC. But a year or two after the switch came out a friend picked one up and I saw what all they hype was about and finally got one. First console purchase in years. So I guess kind of the reverse. I regret NOT getting a Switch on day one.

I take a miniature dock with me whenever I leave town anyway. It's super tiny.

Always wanted to play Xenogears. On happy in general to see another of the era of JRPG being made playable. I missed a lot of them when I was a kid, and I'm unlikely to go and pay the crazy outrageous price for physical copies.

If Metroid and Zelda are there, I'm in.

Just gradually release everything in order. Like two or three a year. I'd buy each and every one.

When I saw Michelin, I thought this was a car tire-approved game. Very disappointed.
