Ah yes. I always enjoy some of that sweet stability.

Am I safe to assume that this control option can't be swapped? I honestly haven't played too much of this series besides Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time and Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. I do love both of those games though. They are incredible RPG experiences.

I am pretty stoked to play this game on Steam Deck OLED. I have the trailer a few times back to back and I cannot get enough. I have always loved Dragon Quest though, and I haven't played this one yet. This will be a completely fresh experience for me.

Well, I just finished playing The Upturned on Steam Deck so I may be playing Smushi Come Home next on the same system. I have been pretty addicted to shorter games that pack a punch in terms of content, and it finally went on sale so I just couldn't resist. Happy gaming everyone!

That is a pretty epic little fact! I had no idea the voice actress was kept secret in the first place to be honest.

Awesome interview! Asking all of the right questions, and he seems like such a. Genuine person. He just oozes Stardew Valley vibes in real life.

While he is certainly correct, the ideas spawned from his brain has captured the imaginations of gamers for generations. The impact he has made on the gaming industry can never be overstated.

I keep debating back and forth if I want to install it on my smartphone. My brother has been using it, and he has had positive things to say. My phone is just getting older, and I want to keep its storage space for essential apps so I am going to have to decide if I consider this one to be an essential app.

At this point, the only reason why I still have the expansion pack membership is for my kids. I would much prefer the lower tiered membership option. That would sacrifice some of my kids' gaming enjoyment, and I can't do that.

His contributions are very much appreciated. Hopefully he founds success with whichever projects he is currently working on.

This is absolutely sweet music to my ears!

146 million units sold for hardware that is to be quite honest very dated at this point is very impressive. Sales crawling to a stand still was to be expected though. Too many people are just waiting for Nintendo to announce their next console.

Awesome. I will end up playing that game myself as well, but I don't know when. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

I voted February for my guess on the Nintendo Switch 2's announcement, but that was more of an educated guess than anything. It doesn't really matter to me personally when it gets announced anyway. I have been enjoying my Steam Deck OLED far too much to worry about a new Nintendo system.

@CammyUnofficial I am glad to find at least one person who shares my viewpoint!

I will always be thankful for Michael Ancel's involvement in the creation of Rayman 2: The Great Escape. That was and still is one of my favorite platformers ever. It was so different in comparison to everything else I was playing back then.

The more, the merrier! I'll take any you have!

I can fictitiously imagine in my mind Nintendo executives getting trigger happy and hitting that "Pause" button on Nintendo Switch 2's reveal and launch.

I'm glad he got it back. Losing something that valuable can be stressful. I wonder if it was returned in the same condition?

That is excellent. I personal didn't enjoy Paper Mario: The Origami King's combat gameplay very much, so I ended up falling off of playing that game about half-way through. I honestly haven't played very many Paper Mario games. I enjoy their charm, but I usually enjoy them from afar.

It was nice while it lasted. I am surprised someone lasted that long to be honest.

Top five is an easy recommendation for The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap in my opinion. It might be one of my favorite full realized top-down Zelda games. From the musical score, the game-play, to the unique items you get to use. The game has it all. And it is bolstered by the Minish and the tiny Link game-play. It is a very well-rounded Zelda game.

I have already played the game myself so I will not be double dipping. I didn't particularly care for the game, and I was one of the people that bought the collector's edition. This is fantastic for newcomers though!

This wouldn't surprise me. Anything Pokemon, (and specifically Pokemon cards) seems to be on the rise, so this is the result I expected. I am sure The Pokemon Company is happy.

That added feature is an epic addition that most people probably wouldn't have thought of. I appreciate that.

I am pretty late to the party but I finished up Crow Country on Steam Deck, and I also started/finished Lil Gator Game on Steam Deck as well. Both were great experiences but I sort of enjoyed Lil Gator Game more because of the poignant message it gave. It left a better lasting impression on me.

I honestly prefer the Japanese variant over the latter. I love the flipped character images. This one was absolutely an easy vote for me.

The saga of having to find as many different devices as possible to play Doom on continues...

This is a pretty close one for me. I ended up voting for the Japanese/European variant though since it has that beautiful blue background. The yellow background of the North American variant didn't look as pleasing to my eyes.

That number is actually pretty darn impressive! Sounds like we may have a winner on our hands!

I finished up Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night on Steam Deck (which I adored), and now I am currently playing Quake 2 on the same system. This is my first time playing that game, and it has been so addictive. And the QOL improvements that have been made makes the game feel more modern.

I already have this game on my wishlist on Steam. For the quality of product you get, the price is absurdly cheap.

The Japanese variant is far superior in this instance, at least to my eyes. And it seems an overwhelming majority of voters agree. This was a fun vote though!

In my opinion, those aren't exactly the best courses they could have added. I wouldn't have selected those as a first choice but my son will probably still want them.

Most of my gaming purchases these days are digital due to space limitations. Ideally, true ownership would be the best case scenario, but that is a pipe dream.

My brother had been really talking up this game to back when he was playing it. I might need to give it a go on my Steam Deck OLED. It seems like it is regularly on a deep discount.

Sheesh. I remember reading this review when it was first published. Time sure does fly sometimes...

In the grand scheme of things, this is probably the best case scenario. Nintendo just wants to be as prepared as they possibly can. I understand people's eagerness to enjoy the next piece of Nintendo hardware, but hopefully the longer wait will pay off in the end.

This game's release on Nintendo Switch honestly makes my last minute purchase of the game on Nintendo 3DS (before the eShop shuttered) meaningless!

I am pretty curious to see how this situation plays out. It might be a good long while before a verdict is made based on how the court system works. This could absolutely change the future of emulation depending on how this goes down.

I honestly have never even played it, even though I told myself that I would probably end up picking it up at some point. I am really not sure if I ever will.

That pretty much goes without saying. I wish they would have released the game a few months prior to Super Mario Bros. Wonder. I wonder what the sales on the game would have been if they had done that.

I might pick it up on a deep discount on Steam eventually. I have plenty to play in the meantime. To be honest, I didn't even know that this game existed.

This is definitely not surprising, but it is very welcome nonetheless! A bunch of people loved the original because of its more fresh approach to Pokémon as a whole. Glad to see this.

I honestly didn't have any interest in any of these games, so I didn't end up playing any of them over the weekend.

I am pretty late to the party, but I ended up playing a couple of my childhood favorites, Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus and its sequel, Sly 2: Band of Thieves. These games hold up incredibly well in today's age. Still love them. I hope everyone had a great weekend of gaming, and for those of you who may potentially have a 3 day weekend, I am envious!

They are all so different! I voted for the European variant though! That version has the best color palette for my eyes.

I will absolutely be picking this one up on Steam Deck OLED. It is going to be an awesome time.

This is pretty much exactly as I figured. I am not sure either way if I will ever end up buying it to be honest.

This one was so easy for me. The North American/European variant is far superior for me. Donkey Kong is a much more prominent figure in that one.
