@commentlife is it really a quality dip? All of this is on par with Aces at worst.

Does anyone know if the demo is hitting other consoles? Even if I did have a Switch 2, I'm more interested in this on my PS5.

@KayFiOS yeah, it makes a lot of sense, especially with third-party titles. The Wii U VC more or less showed that third parties are more willing to rerelease their titles themselves.

Did the demo ever hit consoles?

@Duncanballs yeah, I like a lot of Sega's output, but none of it is Sonic. When I was really getting into gaming, Sonic was a joke, and nothing has (or will) convince me to give it a try.

For being one of, if not the, crown jewels in my Wii collection, I really need to break down and play this game. It was the one of the three Operation Rainfall games that I was most interested in.

@Maxz you forgot that it is featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series.

@axelhander Yeah, there's definitely a fine line between making games for the passion and making games for the money. All these billion-dollar companies care about it making the line move up, regardless of the circumstances that would keep it down. There are too many people in it for the money rather than the passion. Especially now in late-stage capitalism.

(Sorry, I had to. I know it's off topic.)

I could see Nier Automata getting a "Next Gen Upgrade" more or less. I'd be shocked if DQ got anything substantial considering it's getting two releases within a few months. Maybe 12 gets announced? I'd ideally like to see 4-6 remade to fill the gap in.

That FF statement is so filled with buzzwords that I don't know what'd going on lmao

@michellelynn0976 It's synthesized information from "ArTiClEs" that may or may not be correct. Google AI isn't completely accurate in the slightest (And it's probably less reliable that DF tbh).

@DennisReynolds I was going to comment on something about them waiting for a more complete version, but you hit the nail on the head. It's a super dense game, and I completely forgot about how high the literal game ceiling is. I've been recently playing Horizon Forbidden West, a first party Sony game, and Avatar still manages to make flying truly feel like you're in the skies vs just hovering above the ground. Ubi did it a lot better on the same hardware.

@Smithicus And it's still going to make a ton of money, especially since it's reviewing well.

I'm shocked people somehow didn't know about MindsEye. That game hit memetic levels of bad.

@N8tiveT3ch they're a lot of other things too, and a lot of them significantly worse.

@canaryfarmer Digital Download articles are for the big digital titles. I think they're also more frequent.

Hold up, is that Croc game THAT Croc? Or is it something different?

@AverageGamer it depends on when in Gen Z someone was born, like how Zoollennials exist who blur the lines between Zoomers and Millennials. I'm sure there are some Zalphas in the mix.

@ElkinFencer10 @The21zonz yeah, this is a complete mislabel of who this guy thinks he's talking about. This is a Gen Alpha thing more than Gen Z.

Are the remaster trilogies any good? Like do they run/play well? I'm asking this in general, not just the Switch ports.

I know this is somewhat off topic, but if you're also a Pac-Maniac, I can't recommend Pac-Man: Birth of an Icon by Arjan Terpstra and Tim Lapetino. It's an incredible account of the creation of the video game and its spin-offs. It has a lot about the original arcade games and very early home ports, but if you're a fan of game history, it's so worth it.

And the weird promotional artwork, especially from the Atari versions, is incredible.

@Rykdrew Activision would have to be a pretty major expansion for the game, but I would completely welcome it.

And maybe some licensed games too, especially for later systems.

I paid $20 for it on Amazon in 2021, and to me it was alright for the price. I viewed it more as getting a free game with two AC amiibo tbh. I had fun with it once. It may be a little uneventful, but I think it would develop a cult following if it came out now.

@WiltonRoots if it doesn't run at 24 fps, we riot

@jsty3105 The real tragedy is that this has spread to other companies. It's insane to me that the base version of Spider-Man: Miles Morales is still $50. If this means I have to condition myself to absolutely wait for sales, I will. Or, alternatively, stop making games so overbloated.

@HingryHuppo I'm not saying it's right, but the business side of Nintendo truly has a strong corporate culture and the trauma that comes with it.

That corporate trauma is the same reason I think they haven't lowered the price of games for what it's worth. They are so desperate to never repeat the failures of the Wii U era that they make bad decisions for consumers.

@HingryHuppo Early gaming is full of companies suing other companies over patent and copyright infringement. Nintendo's the only one left, and suing people is part of their DNA for better or worse.

@Viator_ Yeah, TPC loves money, so of course they're going to go with the cheaper options.

@LastFootnote for what it's worth, someone said it was around 10 GB, which isn't awful.

Almost everything with gaming is getting more expensive as a whole. Additionally, game carts are more expensive than disks. If Sony and Microsoft aren't discounting their games after a certain price anymore, why should Nintendo?

If you wanna get mad at anyone, it's not Nintendo.

@johnedwin there are literally 4 first-party Nintendo games on that list for half price.

@Maxz I think the Wonder design is what did it for me. It's like I only had room in by brain for two different Mario designs, and as soon as Wonder hit, the movie one went away.

I am so, so happy about this selection. Currently, I have 15 Switch 1 games left on my wishlist. This will help me knock out 4! I've been really patient with Donkey Kong Country Returns HD and Princess Peach Showtime. I liked what I played, but not enough to pay full price (especially again for DKCR, even if I ADORE that game). I've also been meaning to get Echoes of Wisdom and Paper Mario, so this'll sweeten those deals. I do regret not getting Mario Party Superstars when it was on sale a few years ago, but here's hoping it'll be part of the MAR10 Day sale.

The fireworks minigame in Virtual Magic Kingdom was a lot of fun back in the day... Over 20 years ago...

Some of yall are wild to be so against patches to games.

@Sylamp what are the other three DLC?

0/10, no Game & Watch

I'm hoping that this does well enough to cause Nintendo to release more of the OSTs in the West officially. I'd consider doing this for almost all the Mario games or the other Zeldas. Just not BOTW.

@N00BiSH BOTW's sound design is incredible; it's just that the soundtrack by itself leaves a lot to be desired imo.

How in-depth of a management sim are the Two Point games? I tried Planet Zoo, and I wanted to love it so, so much, but it was just too complicated for what I wanted in a zoo builder game. Jurassic World Evolution is a bit better, but I'd prefer animals over dinos (And honestly, Jurassic Park over World, but that's a different conversation).

Are there any other ones that are simple/cozy?

@IronMan30 it helps that this is the type of game that only really needs a sequel after 20ish years. Or because the previous one isn't available on current hardware.

@AverageGamer It's also who only Nintendo can get away with them any more. Directs/States of Play/Whatever Microsoft Does only matter for first party games. Everything else is underwhelming because you're right. They want the spotlight.

@Solid_Python I have it on PS5 (I haven't played it yet lmao), and while I don't have a Switch 2 yet, knowing there's cross progression makes me consider buying it on Switch 2 so I can keep playing on the go.

@Solid_Python Thanks my guy! That definitely makes me consider picking it up on Switch 2 once it drops in price.

@Grumblevolcano YO!!! What a day for gaming news.

Oh man, cross-progression makes this really, really tempting. Does Outlaws have that too? Ubi's games get super deep discounts, and I'm definitely tempted to pay like $20 to be able to have that.

@Captain05crunch Yeah, I just borrow recent decks and auto battle for the Solo battles just to get the hourglasses. I'm only using it to collect.

CHEF KAWASAKI LFG!!!!!

Is this getting a physical?
