So are we reaching the point where Super Mario Land 1 is slowly becoming the new Mother 3? That thing that exists, but Nintendo doesn't want to bring over for any reason? Granted, SML1 is more widely available, but still...
They're both terrible. The "modern" is too bland and the "pixel" font looks like the font you get when you're trying to load text written in a font that's not installed on your system.
Wish them all the best, but don't ask me to send my copy their way because I'm not going to. However, feel free to let me know when they hit 9000 so I can throw one of those insipid DBZ "It's Over 9000" memes that used to be all the rage.
I think it's safe to say that I am the proud non-owner of any FIFA games on any platform. And so the tradition continues, I suppose. I'm not sure what this added to the conversation, but I thought I would throw it out there.
I have the Switch version and other than a couple times where Sonic was stuck in the ground for a brief second or so, I've not encountered many bugs. I have mixed feelings about this one in general, but so far, I wouldn't write this off as broken... yet.
I voted New Mario Kart Tracks, moar Rabbids, and Something Else, on which I was prompted to leave a comment. I hope this satisfies that requirement.
In all seriousness, assuming that there is GBA and GC NSO on the horizon, any speculation as to whether it'll be part of the base service, the Expansion Pak, or will they make part of yet ANOTHER Expansion Pak that you have to pay extra for?
The remastered Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 games on a proper platform with a gamepad is generally incentive enough to warrant a purchase. Not too keen on the coins gimmick, however, and pricing is a bit steep for my tastes. That, and I already have Sonic CD on Steam. Probably going to hold off on this one for a bit, as the pre-order bonuses aren't enough of a justification to jump the gun just yet.
EA Sports FC: The Future Of Interactive Football. Not to be confused with Capstone: The Pinnacle Of Entertainment Software or Apogee: The Height Of Gaming Excitement.
@Mr_Humpf In that case, I think I'll wait until they come up with an update that provides actual stability. Oh well. My condolences to those affected by this terrible travesty of instability.
Someone please clear this up since I've yet to update the system to 12.0.3 and am not sure if I should take a chance or wait for a more "stable" update. Has that been fixed or is the current update still causing the same problems as before?

No guns, no buys.
Re: Soapbox: This Year, The Game Awards Failed The Industry
Please wrap it up...
Wrap it all up....
The whole show....
And throw it in the bin.
Re: Geoff Keighley Agrees Music Was Played "Too Fast" For TGA Winners This Year
Developers given 30 seconds to accept their rewards.
"Yes, that's something we need to address going forward."
Developers get their awards at the podium and get shooed off stage.
"Yes, that's much better. Fire up another Marvel ad."
Re: Geoff Keighley Reveals "Hype Trailer" For The Game Awards 2023
After watching that "hype" trailer, I can safely say that I am thoroughly "un-hyped."
But then again, I never cared about The Game Awards and thought it was a joke to begin with, so what does it matter anyway?
Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy A Digital-Only 'Switch 2'?
In a word... Nope.
Re: Poll: How Many Of You Have Actually Visited 'Minus World' In Super Mario Bros.?
I visited the Minus World several times.
Never even got a tee shirt.

Re: Feature: Call Of Duty On Nintendo Systems - A Brief History
@UltimateOtaku91 The irony is that I'd be more open to a Call Of Duty twin stick shooter than the usual rubbish, but to each their own, I suppose.
Re: Capcom Begins Mega Man's 35th Anniversary Celebrations With Logo Reveal
A new game would be nice.
Re: Random: There's Something Missing From The Mario Movie Poster, And The Internet Has Noticed

If his eyes are green, then there's no hope for this movie.

Re: FIFA 23 Legacy Edition Will Have Women's Football, But No New Features
@JAGleics Don't worry. Whatever they call it next, they'll still reuse the same Legacy Edition rubbish as always, but at least it'll have a new hat.
Re: Developers Don't Take Kindly To EA's Single-Player Gag On Twitter
Did that Diablo guy who asked people if they had phones chime in to ask people if they had friends? I feel you need that to push things over the edge.
Then again, it's Twitter. You so much as puff a breath and things go over the edge. Good thing I stay away from that rubbish.
Re: Sonic Origins Contributor Shares Frustrations Over The State Of The Game

Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online SNES And NES Service With Three More Titles
Pinball... clearly the greatest NES game ever made, now available to the masses via Nintendo Switch Online.
The avatar speaks for itself.

Re: Capcom Releasing "Multiple Major New Titles" By March 31, 2023
@Cia
There's a Monster Hunter coming out for Switch listed on there. So that counts for something, I guess...?
Eh... I tried.

BWAH! HA! HA! HA!
Good one, pal!
That's funny!
Re: Rocket League Adds Its Fourth Batmobile To Celebrate The New Batman Movie
@Tasuki It's the Batmobile tumblr thing that was in Batman V. Superman.
Re: Talking Point: Should The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Library Expand Faster?
"Should The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Library Expand Faster?"
No, I don't think so. A new game added to the service every five years is just fine.
Re: PAC-MAN 99 Surpasses Four Million Downloads, New Content On The Way
@Lonemetwoid I've only played the game a handful of times and not one time have I played a game of Pac-Man 99 that had more than 80 players at most.
Re: Takashi Iizuka Suggests Sonic's 2022 Outing Will Be An "Advancement" Of Modern Sonic Games
@Anti-Matter Well, if the game sucks, I can't think of a more appropriate face to slap on there, so...
