@abbyhitter Considering that's what (almost) everyone else seems to calling it at the moment, might as well stick with "Switch 2" until we get official word on what it's actually going to be called. In the meantime, feel free to call it whatever you want... I call it the Knob.

As far as the article in question is concerned, I'll let things play out and see where it goes.

So I guess Amicovision is no longer a thing. A pity. I was looking forward to such cool jaw-dropping classics like Cornhole or Finnegan Fox*.

In all serious, the most I'm hoping out of this deal is that we get the Intellivision equivalent of an Atari 50 compilation. Not so much for the games, but more for the historical overview so people could about the brand beyond something that was prostituted to sell a bill of goods.

On an unrelated note... can Atari buy Coleco next?

*Yes, I already know about Fox N Forests. It didn't make my jaw drop.

@Duncanballs To be fair, every year seems like it's the year of nostalgia.

No Rad Racer?
No Tetris?
No buys.

How do you want me to play like 1990 if two out of the three games featured in that event are missing? This makes me very mildly irritated. half-heartedly shakes fist

Other than that, looks alright. I'll probably stick with NES Remix, but this might be enticing to some other folks.

@LadyCharlie It's worse on PC, which is a baffling 70GB (approximately). And the visual quality isn't any better than the old PC versions, which are still available for purchase on Steam or GOG for far cheaper, take up less space, and they still play wonderfully.

Sure, you don't have the extra maps and Hero Assault is relegated to a map or two, but that extra stuff simply didn't warrant the extra bloat. I love me some Battlefront and the more the merrier, but I'm more than content with the old PC versions.

Maybe I'll get the Switch version when it's on the cheap somewhere down the line, but right now, this deal is very bad and I'm glad to NOT be a part of it.

"Saddlefront..."

-_-

These puns are getting worse all the time...

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...

No guns, no buys.

Please wrap it up...
Wrap it all up....
The whole show....
And throw it in the bin.

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."

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?

In a word... Nope.

I visited the Minus World several times.
Never even got a tee shirt.

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.

@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.

A new game would be nice.

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

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.

@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.

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.

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?

Pinball... clearly the greatest NES game ever made, now available to the masses via Nintendo Switch Online.

The avatar speaks for itself.

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.

@Cia
There's a Monster Hunter coming out for Switch listed on there. So that counts for something, I guess...?

Eh... I tried.

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.

"Capcom increases salaries..."
BWAH! HA! HA! HA!
Good one, pal!
That's funny!

@Tasuki It's the Batmobile tumblr thing that was in Batman V. Superman.

"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.

@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.

@Anti-Matter Well, if the game sucks, I can't think of a more appropriate face to slap on there, so...

@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?
