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.
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.
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 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!
I don't buy amiibo figures very often, and even though I adore Kingdom Hearts and all the series represents, I can't justify paying for another figure that will just sit on my shelf and never be used. I am kind of past my collecting phase.
@120frames-please I have no doubts that I will enjoy the system! This will also be one of my first experiences with Steam in general, so the experience will be pretty fresh right from the get-go.
I am not sure how much gaming I will do this weekend besides possibly F-Zero 99 on Nintendo Switch. I bought a Steam Deck OLED yesterday and I have been too eager waiting for that to want to play anything else! Happy gaming as always everyone!
It was pretty cool as a whole! I am glad I set a reminder to catch it! There is nothing quite like reliving some of your favorite childhood Zelda songs, especially because of the emotions that can re-emerge.
@sdelfin Exactly! Shared experiences is one of my favorite things about gaming in general. Knowing other people may have had similar experiences, or sometimes seven wildly different ones, even in a linear style game!
It honestly took me years to appreciate the Metroid series as a whole. My brother had always enjoyed the series, and had played most entries, but I was never able to get into them. Metroid Fusion was the first one that I played that I truly enjoyed, and years after I completed that one, I ended up playing Super Metroid and loved it. I still have so many games in the series to play though, so I have my work cut out for me. I also tried Metroid Prime Remastered and got most of the way through the game, but I ended up getting pretty bored towards the end. I think I mainly prefer the 2D entries in the series. Metroid Dread would probably be the next entry on my list.
I never thought the game would reach that many sales. Perhaps the continuous DLC is part of the reason why it was able to achieve such a milestone. Absolutely the definition of an evergreen title.
The number of units that the Nintendo Switch has sold up until this point has been pretty incredible. This definitely goes to show that a hybrid device is indeed the way forward for Nintendo, though they have been known to turn our worlds upside down with each console release. I am curious to see how their next hardware looks. I expect a similar item to a Nintendo Switch, but with some crazy additional features.
For me, probably either The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D or The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D. Those to me are a masterclass in remaining faithful to the source material, while still give the games a new life in functionality, and looks.
This is going to be one of those weekends where I'm honestly not really sure what game will end up playing. I have a couple games in mind, but I haven't really been feeling like playing games a whole lot recently. The only two games I would consider would be The Legend of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom on Nintendo Switch or Psychonauts 2 on PlayStation 5. Either way, I hope everyone has a great gaming weekend!
I wouldn't want anyone else in that role! I am pretty happy he is coming back because it has been one of his more recognizable roles in quite a few years.
I honestly haven't even tried the demo yet. It might be a while before I even consider trying it simply because I would only be buying this game for my kids, and they aren't typically the biggest fans of puzzle games. This game may never get a purchase in my household unfortunately.
Even if the date means absolutely nothing, it is still pretty cool that it was in the manual at all. Just another one of those cool little Nintendo things.
I have been impressed with this one from the very start, and I will more than likely secure a purchase either on PlayStation 5 or Nintendo Switch. I am vibing pretty well with this one.
For me personally, I won't even start a game that I have had the ending spoiled for prematurely. That is why I am very careful about spoilers for games that I have a genuine interest in playing.
I could have sworn this was already confirmed, but I am happy nonetheless. This will be a much closer trip if I decided to drive there by car. It would save me a ton of money though cost me more time. Road trip!
The colors are actually pretty sweet. It has been many years since I have played Shovel Knight though, so I can't say that I am a huge fan of the franchise as whole.
Conveniently enough, I have the Mario Kart Capri Sun drinks in my fridge. About a dozen of them to be honest. They aren't for me though, they are for my son, I promise. 😉
I had the North American variant when I was a kid, but I actually prefer the European variant box art. It looks so much cooler. Wish my copy has that box art.

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

Re: Review: Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On! (Switch) - Game Freak's 3DS Gem Is Still A Prize Pony
This game's release on Nintendo Switch honestly makes my last minute purchase of the game on Nintendo 3DS (before the eShop shuttered) meaningless!

Re: Poll: What Switch Online Rare Game Are You Playing This Weekend?
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.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Castlevania: Legacy Of Darkness
They are all so different! I voted for the European variant though! That version has the best color palette for my eyes.
Re: Surprise! Penny's Big Breakaway Is Available To Download Right Now
I will absolutely be picking this one up on Steam Deck OLED. It is going to be an awesome time.
Re: Hands On: We've Played Princess Peach: Showtime! - Is It Any Good?
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.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Mario Vs. Donkey Kong 2: March Of The Minis
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.
Re: Review: qomp 2 (Switch) - The Spiritual Successor That Pong Deserves
I had a feeling this one was going to turn out pretty good! I might secure myself a purchase on my Steam Deck OLED.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Inazuma Eleven Strikers
I am voting for the Japanese variant all the way on this one. The color palette is so much more pleasing to my eyes.

Re: Do You Smell It? Mr. Krabs Joins Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 Next Week
Mr. Krabs would absolutely be one of my mains in the game if I actually had it. His move-set would probably be pretty darn cool to see in action.

Re: Switch Reportedly Less Than 1 Million Shy Of Being Japan's Best-Selling Console
I am pretty sure the Nintendo Switch will make it!
Re: Talking Point: What's The Best Nintendo Remake Ever?

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Jack Bros. (Virtual Boy)
This is a close one for me, but I felt like the colors popped more on the North American variant, so that is the one I went with!
