I’ve almost picked this up a couple times on my steamdeck, but now I’m happy I’ve held off, being on switch, means my whole family will have easier access to it vs my pc/steamdeck. And to hear it runs decent, I guess I’m happy I held off, it’s not like I’ve had a lack of games to play anyways.

I’m happy for RE fans, but it’s not on my list since I’m just not really a fan of any zombie game when it comes down to it, but if I am going to play something, left 4 dead plays just fine on my steamdeck

I have to admit I’m not completely sold on the art style, but the skateboard mechanics and camera have me adding it to a wishlist

To think that prime 3 was 18 years ago makes me feel old. Was an adult playing games then, still adult playing games today

I normally don’t buy into fomo, but I got this day 1 and all other games are waiting for me to finishing this now. Probably the best metroidvania ever.

Steam does it right, I can still play half life today that I bought years ago, in my steamdeck or pc. Apple does it right, I can still use music from 25 years of purchases on each apple device I get. Nintendo said with switch they were starting over. That this was the future. Maybe Nintendo learned something from these companies because switch 1 vs switch 2 shows us that they may have…but switch 3 will really tell us that someday.
As for any media; there are vhs I probably couldn’t find on dvd. Music on records that’s not on cd. There are plenty of games that I’ll never have the chance to play because it wasn’t preserved in some way either.
I 100% do not agree with losing a digital purchase either, but other then free to play style games, I can’t think of 1 game I’ve ever lost due to removing it from my library on steam/apple.

The basketball will mostly be the only one of those I’ll be picking up, maybe 1 or 2 of the others, but I’m happy acclaim is trying something like this for gamers, and not a wanna be AAA attempt at a free to play Fortnite ripoff.

Other then to play nightrein on my steamdeck, I haven’t touched anything but a switch 2 since launch day. Mostly playing switch 1 games, but a bunch of mkw and dk, and now hollow knight, but mainly, I was just waiting for what we got, a better switch. All my games have no load times now and Nintendo will continue to do what they do, make awesome games. So 2 years from now; when we paying new Mario/zelda/metroid/dk/smask/kart etc.. all for switch 2, it will still be selling like crazy. And if 3rd parties deliver, then it will replace my steamdeck for the next few years as well.

Tried to beat it from beginning a few times, get like 15-20 hours in and stop. Go back a couple years later and try again. 3x was enough. I will be getting Silksong and probably doing the same over this generation. I love the art style and gameplay more then I love metroidvanias nowadays.

I was right to hold off last week when it was on sale for steam, I’d rarther just keep my switch library growing since my ox is getting dated and my steamdeck isn’t used by anyone else, where as we have 4 switches in active use at the house.

Punch out on the Wii is one of the main reasons I keep my Wii U. Hands down the best of this style game, music, gameplay, everything just perfect. This might be fun, but it’s not punch out.

I couldn’t get into the 1st one due to the controls and the fact that a Wii and any light gun game is better. I still have several games for when we get that itch, but gyro and joystick controls just take away from the fun these games are. Mouse controls would atleast make it playable, but still not the same as light gun.

Both are great consoles and I own them both. I don’t see any reason to have any other console, my Xbox is just a dvd player, and my ps5 hasn’t been turned on in months…my pc gets used, but I play more on my steamdeck now.

Yesterday’s gaming, steamdeck/switch. Today’s gaming and next few years most likely, steamdeck/switch 2. Both dockable, easily portable. I’m on vacation this week, and other than alternating between each when the other isn’t charging, my 6 month unused ps5 is going up for sale. And I know I don’t see myself using it much since I mainly used it for the ps portal. Which, I would sit by a lake, using my iPhone data, to play games. Worked fine for single player, not for multiplayer. But a steamdeck is basically a ps5. I play lots of ps5 games on it and they all play just fine.

I have one in my garage and is used only for my n64. Just doesn’t look right no matter what use to play it on a 65” flatscreen, looks terrible. but on a 27” crt, looks amazing. I force the family into retro gaming every couple months by unhooking the other consoles and only having nes/snes/genesis/n64/atari 2600/or our arcade cabinets to be used, instead of the switch’s. Sadly the wii/u has become retro to us as well the last few years. Switch killed it in our family. But we rather play Wii sports over switch sport for some reason…
Btw, next week is retro week, and I think the n64 and snes will be the console of choice, going on vacation and it’s easy to only have other things hooked up instead.

I have played exactly 1 race of the single player…and then only played the online knockout mode. Best thing they’ve added to Mario kart, ability to race for longer then 1.5 minutes per race.

@citizenerased I always wanted to play rdr2 since rdr1 was one of my fav ps3 games, just never got around to it. Last fall, I got sucked into rdr2 and beat it in about 100 hours and immediately bought rdr1 just to replay for the story. Wow, is it dated and almost unplayable when compared to the improvements in rdr2 in every way.

Anyone who ever wondered why Ubisoft was ever popular, this series is one of the answers.

I’ve been ghosting it pretty much for a year. Since totk and about 150 hours of that, and other then playing with my kids, I havent touched it. My steamdeck on the other hand…well that hasn’t been down for a couple years now. I’m about done cleaning up whatever backlog I’m going to and I’m ready for switch 2 next month.

Unless I’m playing something with my kids, I’m not touching my switch until I get a S2. Playing oblivion mainly but a couple other backlog games to finish in next couple weeks on my steamdeck before I spend the summer playing my new switch.

As little as little as I use my ps5, and as much as I play my steamdeck and switch, I see myself selling my old switch for a switch 2 very soon, and probably selling my ps5 and its portal since for last few months, I only power it on to claim the free games each month. But after that runs out in June…I am not renewing, and switch 2…

Sadly. I need to keep geometry ways installed on my steamdeck because it is by far my favorite of these game ever. I still play it nearly every day, 3 runs and then I quit, because if not, it becomes an addiction.

It’s actually mtg weekend, so no video games, but 6-8 hours of commander with the guys

@Princess_Lilly I bought a ps5 digital. I have no need for discs. I only got one for my back catalog, ability to use a portal. What games are being released that I need to own a disc of? Why can’t there be
An option for people like me who are fine with owning games digital. My steam library has been digital for years, but I can still play almost every game I’ve ever owned(20+ years), on my steamdeck, or my pc. If anything, consoles need to get with the times.
And this from someone who buys all his music on apple, then burns copies onto cd still, since I still have multiple cd players I use. I used to buy and trade games and treat physical games like rentals. But now there isn’t a new game coming out each week, and most games need massive downloads no matter how much is on the disc.

I don’t think we should pay developers to make a game like this. I think it should be free and I refuse to pay $80 for a game that I buy only 1 time a generation. I’ll go back to paying for micro transactions in Fortnite and buying cod every year.

Now I fit in with the rest of the internet.

They can showcase both versions on switch 2, the old school and new hd. They did links awakening didn’t they?

@Darthmoogle yes they can. I know people who played the mp1 remaster as their first metroid, and only want mp4 now that they have seen it. Myself included. I don’t need to go through those again just to say it.

I’m losing g respect for all of this. Smash and its dlc wax how much? Mk8 and is dlc was how much? This looks like more game then those for the same or less price. I paid over $1000for my ps5, portal, 3 games, and 2 controllers. If you want a gaming pc that’s better then consoles, you taking $1000, add in a vr headset and accessories. But because Nintendo is joining the club, we all going to complain. Well, I’m probably selling my ps5 since look that duskbloods, and a switch oled, and will make money buying a switch 2.

I predict it now, smash ultimate gets the mk8 treatment. A huge update that adds 20-30 new fighters, levels, modes…maybe a reworked online, charge $50 or half price of the game, and it will buy Nintendo a generation to ignore smash and focus on mk___ and whatever else is coming to switch 2 in next generation.

As most people who play this will never know and all they will really know is the awesomeness that Tony hawk games are. And this will probably make whatever they do next stand out more too…since I think they rebooting the series, and if all they do is more remakes, underground next

Made me smile. Reminded me of those pre yourtube halo 1 videos of wathogs and master chief getting blows up

I also think that this was the line too, I need to learn how to do this stuff.

@-wc- since my surgery, I have been much more mindful of my hands and the abuse they take. I have to say though I’ve had a 100% recovery. I shouldn’t have waited like 4 years to solve a problem I was in denial I had.

@-wc- as someone who had carpal tunnel surgery on both wrists a couple years ago and was literally to the point I couldn’t hold a controller for more then 10 minutes before my hands were numb, I agree that I do not enjoy using my switch without an added grip or pro controllers, or how my steamdeck just feels perfect in my hands and that using a joy con for a mouse does not sound appealing.

Unfortunately I have kids who want to see this or I would not be giving any money toward this if I can help it. I loved tenacious d and jack black, but he just needs to go away now.

@KingMike @LadyCharlie another part of this is that manufactures and retailers make their cut. So if you want to watch a 30 year old movie on a whim, my principles aren’t going to make a $20 dvd seem out of my reach. If I really want, I order it used somewhere, usually much cheaper. But age doesn’t devalue everything, or the cost of stocking it/theft on retail shelves. People might be more likely to steal a 30 old dvd then something that’s being streamed today. Also, how many people pay for all their streaming or find ways to watch things for free?

This looks like a ninja gaidan x castlevania crossover. I’m not sure of if I like it…

We all have our preferences. I prefer the modest approach of the older games, and dislike the extras that make the games more random…so I agree that the n64 tennis/golf are the best. But my fav of all time is by far Mario strikers charged. There are powers, and levels that vary, but it never seemed like you were fighting the levels more than the player. It’s why I prefer omega smash levels with no items too, but atleast there are options for everyone.

Who here buys games blindly without watching any trailers or reviews? Just goes on the shop and clicks buy at anything with a cool name and cover art. I go directly online and watch trailers, reviews. I do not let a bias reviewer change my opinion, it’s just nice to see the game in action. After seeing this game in action, I would not even use free coins towards it onsale someday.

And shovelware is not a new thing. It has existed since pop cap games and bejeweled we’re in every EB games discount bin. There is just more gamers, and more games being made.

@progx the most I have done with any game is look up the best graphic settings for baldurs gate 3 because when playing on the tv, there was so much shine to everyone’s hair i had to do something. Outside that, I use my Xbox and my pro controller and to play everything on my tv, or just play it on the go with no issues. I’m sure the legion go is better, but I have no complaints with mine and it gets more use then my ps5 and its portal, combined. Sadly I think I’ve played more playstion games on steamdeck then on my ps5 the last 2 years too.

My steamdeck has been a nice bridge between my switch and whatever was next, switch 2. The last 2-3 years of it, my switch has been my secondary console. It is dockable and you can use any controller. So for less then $500, you get an upgraded switch that had access to years of my already purchased pc games. I admit I can’t wait to get a switch 2, but I bet a lot of the games that aren’t 1st party, I’m already paying on the go, like bg3 and rdr2 at the moment.
It’s also a portable ps4/5.so I don’t know why anyone doesn’t have one.

This is by far the way of the future. I am have playing steam games for like 20 years. Most of my library is still playable today, via my steamdeck. I only bought a ps5 because of the amount of games I carried over to it from previous generations, and have access to while using portal. I will be upgrading all of the switches in my house for the next 8 years of gaming for the family. And hopefully this continues…

The GameCube beatemups were decent fun for the time, and I think they were the best lotr games I’ve played, shadow or war/mordor I couldn’t get into.

The only game we use our for is switch sports. No other reason to wear them except while throwing them at your tv while bowling/tennis

I downloaded it mostly to show support, but other then for mild amusement, I’m not big into listening to gaming music, it just makes me want to play the game instead.

All it has done is wish I had my switch at work tonight so I can play some dr Mario and Kirby, after listening to the themes

Now, can you use them as alarm tunes?

After playing this back then, a 6 is about right. I’d pick it up on a deep discount, but I don’t see myself going through this one again

This was a decent game, but this genre is so saturated, this one couldn’t keep me hooked. Even recently tried getting kids to play it, and they went back to their Roblox version of it.

I wanted to like this, but it just wasnt for me. I love the kingdom series and after several hundred hours of those games, thought this might pull me away as my casual gaming fix. Nope, even just picked up the Olympus expansion the other day, probably play it this weekend.

@Bonggon5 agree, I except I’m waiting for the inevitable switch port for my like 50th playthrough. I replay a few Zelda games every winter, by far my fav series. Last year was totk and ss. This winter I know I’ll finish echoes, but not sure which other yet…
