@The_Nintend_Pedant Think they wanted to shake things up after so many sequels but things like a shop system seem unnecessary for classic MM. Should be a more focused experience than X/Zero.
@dew12333 So in your book corporations should be allowed to plagiarize their own fanbase. Jesus that's absolutely insane, can't wait for the official sequel to 1984 from Motorboater69's Wattpad account.
@koopababble Some of these clowns are actually ridiculous.
@nhSnork That's an adorable plushie lol, haven't tried em yet but I got the Gravity Rush games on a sale. Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] with crossplay on launch.
@TheBoilerman @axelhander @Emmerichcoal An Ogre Battle compilation is a great idea actually, while we're wishing for things that will never happen I'd also like an optional new Chapter 4 for Person of Lordly Caliber where maybe you outright go to war with the Zenobians.
Wow that's extortionate, thank f@ck Sega came around to give them some needed competition. E: Especially considering the NES was underpowered even at the time, overcharging their clients for inferior product.
I did buy a pair of headphones once which I think injects its custom surround sound solution into Switch games? I'm against that on PC but on Switch I... think it works, not the expert on stereo vs surround sound lol/
Don't really know if I can ever trust Atari again after their clown behavior in the 2000s including rushing and shoving a completely unnecessary multiplayer mode into Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, one of the best games ever.
@RiasGremory Okay. I also really don't care much I don't even have a Switch 2 lol but if it makes you feel better I haven't given any clicks to negative clickbait just seen thumbnails and know how quickly online can die.
@Markatron84 Sega is plenty stupid in other ways, but I think if N were to release their Sonic x Shadows Generations Switch 2 port, they would call it something like, Sonic Generations - Switch 2 Edition + Shadow's Storyline. To re-iterate this is not okay.
@Anti-Matter Seems really bad on anything but PC where it has absurdly high specs. 16 GB RAM on the "Minumum" spec. Good lord I could run Witcher 3 on a my 2016 PC with 8 GB RAM. What a joke
@OldManHermit https://youtu.be/h61UvcKeTdY Not the right kind of terrifying like he kinda is in this scene though
E: "My hobbit wakes up, and the game immediately chugs like Pippin downing a full pint", haha.
@RiasGremory I don't not believe you but if it's peer-to-peer it's pretty much impossible to know how many people are online unless N puts the numbers out.
@Dalamar That plus a 1 dollar maze book + riddle book = this "game", also your tyke actually gets distracted from their screen for a precious few minutes.
@GrailUK Yeah Sony is really desperate, of course The Last of Us 2 will be really easy to run and play on Switch2 lol
@Suketoudara Did they mean the online cause that wouldn't surprise me, the newest Monster Hunter sold like 8 million copies in three days but the last time I played (before some updates though) online lobbies were relatively dead and mostly filled with Japanese peeps.
@EVIL-C I said the CN Tower was a beaut tbf, not a sports guy but the view from that stadium is quite amazing too. But outside of the Tower can anyone name an actual Toronto skyscraper like they can with the Sears or John Hancock building in Chicago or the obvious examples from New York (even just keeping it to around the 70s, the United Nations Building and the WTC).
E: @OldManHermit Oh yeah ofc. I'd always take the chance and would like to compare it to the Fernsehturm in Berlin.
This is the kind of pricing that gives me a perverse respect for Chinese appstore gamedevs making this exact thing with Pimkachu for like a single 99c purchase
@Norsaken This was back when main characters were allowed to be interesting and flawed, also Knives is 17, age of consent in majority of the world including Canada is 16.
@SalvorHardin Punpun is really good but it's also depressing af and not an easy read at all, that's fine but can't things be fun sometimes
@Dhaladog If it's still Anamanaguchi they're legit.
Street Fighter 6, it's really really good. Even the goofy World Tour mode is fun for some more character development for the cast. On Steam admittedly but the Switch2 version seems pretty much the same except some muddier textures and lesser AA, nbd.
@BBBBBBBBBBB I mean if you know some Beatles lore, they (and especially John and Paul) were good friends that did more with each other than just making out...
@larryisaman I didn't even notice it lol. I guess brands are just people now, like it was literally Indiana Jones that created and put out that new game, I didn't know he was into gamedev but good on him I guess.
@Jireland92 I'll admit I thought it was an original Popeye short typing that, before later looking it up and seeing it was some terrible 80s thing... okay they're still in a consistent relationship 100% more than friends and Bluto is just an a-hole butting in
@martynstuff I'll be the dork who points out Sonic was literally dead when this happened and Elise has life-creating powers, she'd probably make out with Amy if she died. Meanwhile Peach was kissing him for saving her from marrying a weird*ss creep, even in the year 2025 my "friends", male or female, wouldn't do that...
@Splash_Woman Nah he has too many good friends to discriminate that way, he's also really close with Daisy and Adult Pauline.
^ You know these are fictional characters and we're joking right
@The_Nintend_Pedant Yeah the Wiimote wasn't a bad little device. I haven't used the JCons outside of Mario Kart with family admittedly, but I would think even for motion controls a larger device would feel better, "swinging" a "bat" doesn't seem like it would work as well with those little things

I like how Patrick keeps his original character design with a full set of teeth not the dumb snaggletooth design from nowadays.

Re: Around 1 In 3 Switch 2 Owners Bought New Pro Controller Despite High Price Point (US)
@The_Nintend_Pedant Yeah the Wiimote wasn't a bad little device. I haven't used the JCons outside of Mario Kart with family admittedly, but I would think even for motion controls a larger device would feel better, "swinging" a "bat" doesn't seem like it would work as well with those little things
