@Arkantos2990 There are alot of games that would be great on NSO but like you said that costs money and most companies would rather release their own collections instead of putting them on the service, there is more money in it for them that way.
I was worried about this, although it would be nice to get a free upgrade I won't complain, it is much better than the alternative of buying the complete collection again, so I am happy.
Probably going to be playing some more Cruis'n Blast and could possibly start Luigi's Mansion 3, I bought it almost a year ago on Black Friday and have been waiting until the fall to play it.
Personally I loved it, it was the first direct where I yelled with delight and nerded out when stuff was revealed, definitely one of the best directs I can remember, at least for my taste.
I nerded out when this was announced, love this game and can't wait to play it all over again, this combined with everything else probably made this my favorite Nintendo Direct that I can remember, no joke.
In the video they showed Banjo Kazooie as a future game to be added and that makes me very happy, gimme that and Tooie and Jet Force Gemini while you are at it and I will be thrilled.
If we don't get the option to purchase this seperately I will be irritated, I got the collection almost on day one, and loved it, shouldn't have to buy it again to get the full experience.
Don't care about voice chat although it is important, would rather have the ability to use any screenshot as a theme like other consoles do. Or offer customizable themes.
Regardless of the value of the offering I hope the game does well because we need more games like this, instead of the usual big selling IP. Not everything needs to be a big time consuming adventure, although I do love those at times.
@Michaelrojelio84 Yeah the Bluetooth isn't perfect but is more than good enough if you have good headphones, it's the only way I will be playing Switch now.
@NotoriousWhiz I have have had no problems, I watch movies and play games and see very minimal latency, not even noticable to me, but I have newer headphones. It works perfectly for me.
I have been loving the Bluetooth update, being able to use headphones both docked and portably has been a godsend, even the PS4 doesn't support native Bluetooth without specific headsets if I recall correctly.
@thugpipe I am using the Anker Soundcore Q30 headphones and there is minimal latency as well, plus with the bonus of noise canceling, I feel sorry for all the other people whose headphones aren't up to the task though.
@anoyonmus I have not played a FNAF game as of yet although I know what they are all about, want to get the collection on Switch but am hoping for a good Halloween sale.
Excellent, I would prefer the Switch version, am just waiting for this version of the game to be in a better state, this is a step in the right direction.
I use to just drive around all the Mario Kart 64 levels in time trials, just exploring, trying to uncover secrets, still did plenty of regular races though.
Heck yes I am glad this reviewed well, I pulled the trigger on preordering it this morning without waiting for a review, which is very unusual for me but judging from what I had seen I had faith the game would deliver, and it has so I am happy and can't wait to play it.
@BloodNinja True you can get the Japanese versions, I don't know though, something about having the American version appeals alot more to me, and I would need a Super Famicom as well. There are some GameCube games I want to play but they are obscene prices, and those games tend to be more text heavy than Super NES games so a Japanese version won't do most of the time.
Agreed, there are so many classic games I want to play but they are priced too high for me to want to take the plunge, I know it's simple supply and demand but it discourages me from playing games from past generations.
Loved that this game reviewed well but I have always been hesitant to try the series because I was not sure there is enough bang for your buck for people who just like to play alone, I wonder if the game has enough longevity to be worth the price. I am very tempted though, this game looks so incredibly wacky and fun, something we need more of in games.
This gives me alot more confidence in Retro Studios, we haven't seen something from them in so long that I was starting to doubt whether they were still capable of making amazing games like they did back then.
Unfortunately I never had much faith for this game when the core game in the series is just as unpolished and tedious at times. Shame as it's a good idea marred by poor execution.
@Dpullam Just depends on when I am in the mood to play my PlayStation, could be awhile with everything coming out this year but I do really want to play it.
Bought Broken Age a long time ago and finally got around to playing it, the game definitely has that trademark Double Fine humor and reminds me why I loved Psychonauts so much and why I want to play the sequel, (seriously if no one has played Psychonauts go check it out it is one of my favorite 3D platformers.) It's only on Xbox and Playstation though.
I don't care about 4k I just want more consistent framerates, I am ok with the graphical fidelity we currently have I just want it to be 60 FPS too, that would look stunning imo.
I don't ever play any of these fan made projects so it doesn't bother me that they are shut down really. It sucks for the developers who put time into making the games but they must have known the risks when they started development, Nintendo has being doing this stuff for a long time now, right or not.
While the soundtrack may not be as iconic, when compared to Ocarina of Time I still prefer the soundtrack, but I am a fan of songs in the minor keys. They tend to convey more emotion, at least to me.
I plan on getting the physical version but I am in no hurry, I have plenty of games I want to play already as it is, could be six months before I get around to this game.
You had me at Lovecraftian/Gothic Horror World, definitely going to get this game soon, looks to be right up my alley. Playing FPS games with gyro on my Switch is my preferred way to play games like this.

Re: The Point & Click Sale Discounts 10 Games On Switch
Thimbleweed Park was my first foray into the point and click genre and it was a great time, even if the puzzle solutions are obtuse at times.
Re: Poll: Do You Use The Black Or White Theme On Your Nintendo Switch?
Black, since it is much easier on my eyes, and fits the standard red and blue Switch a bit better imo.

Re: Video: We've Actually Played Metroid Dread, Does It Meet Our Expectations?
Weirdly enough I am actually more worried about Prime 4 delivering than Dread, I had little doubt this game would be good.
Re: Switch's N64 Controller Is Hiding Some Extra Buttons
But is the stick better? That's my question, personally I always loved how the N64 controller felt it just didn't last long.

Looks a little too much like Mario Kart for me but if you are big into FF you are probably loving this.

About time, his exclusion was jarring for me. I just hope there is more to it this time than getting paid in coffee beans.
Re: Nintendo Is Releasing N64 And Sega Genesis Wireless Controllers
Only way I will get an N64 controller is if the sticks last longer this time around, those things were so fragile.

Re: Nintendo Direct To Air Tomorrow, 23rd September
Don't care for Game Boy games being added other than Gameboy Advance, really hoping for N64 myself, that would make my day.

Not a terrible concept to be honest, now the real question is has it been executed well? If so this could be a fun time.

Re: Poll: Cruis'n Blast Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
I just preordered it myself, had to get this one physically, that box art is lovely and the Cruis'n logo brings back alot of memories.
Re: Review: WarioWare: Get It Together! - More Magnificent Microgame Mayhem
@Pikman I have never played much of one other than the one for GBA, but I love the concept of it, it's wacky, much like the Wario Land games.
