I didn't play it, but I'm interested. My feedback is to change the horrible name. Is there some sort of rule with HD2D where the names of the games have to be awful?

"we have two games left to show..." That don't at all take advantage of our new hardware.

Wouldn't look bad for an N64 game.

Jeff Rosenstock is on this soundtrack? Punk really is dead.

@Willo567 I can't imagine today's gamers playing pretty much anything on N64. Some of the best games ever performed poorly but the gamers cared more about fun than graphics back then.

I picked up Fast Fusion and have been enjoying it. Did the other "Fast" games ever introduce online play? I was surprised that mode wasn't in the game. I also think a vehicle "upgrade" system could be cool. As is, the Fusion system is neat but doesn't really have a ton of depth, and after awhile, there isn't much to spend your credits on.

Can't wait to play this for the first time.

FfIX was good but is very overrated. I prefer 7, 8, and 10 to it from the PS1 / PS2 era. And obviously 4 and 6 are better as well. I'd put it on par with 12 and I pretend none of the single player FFs exist after that, though admittedly I haven't tried 16.

Haven't had any issue though I mainly play handheld. I know the kids play Fortnite for long sessions and still no issues.

Glad I'm old enough to have no idea what this article is talking about. Just enjoy.

My biggest issue isnt the intermission tracks, it's how random the online races have become. It seems like the races are entirely based on luck in this game. It's not uncommon to get a super mushroom and go from last to top 3 only to be hit by multiple items and fall right back to last place in a 20 second span.

The six figure salaries for the regular employees seem pretty solid. The 30 million seems excessive but he has been put in charge of a company with over 14,000 employees. Without peer information, the charts don't highlight anything unique to EA.

"if you only look at the box..." Actually, I look at the screen and it looks fine. Is it the flashiest most colorful screen I've ever seen? No. Is it perfectly adequate for gaming from a couple feet away? Yes.

Not a huge fan. The rewards are lacking, there is no tracking system, and the world itself feels very lifeless. Other racing games have done the open world much better. Hopefully Nintendo adds some updates down the road to improve this experience. The racing itself is very solid. I'm working my way through all the trophies before jumping into multiplayer.

Any word on improvements for the Xenoblade games? I've always thought the dynamic resolution drops made the incredible landscapes look a little rough. I'd definitely pick up X if they bumped the resolution and frame rate.

PowerA controllers are solid but wish they had rumble.

Borderlands is the type of game I'd only get on a steep discount anyways. The truth is everything cost more now than it did 5-10 years ago. In the grand scheme of things, games probably haven't gone up as much as many other items. Hell, I spent 70 bucks on. Street Fighter 2 Turbo SNES cart when I was a kid. I'll be willing to pay 80 for my favorite games, but the vast majority of games I buy are on sale.

The 2d artists must mean a remake of xenogears with a proper second disc. Can't wait.

What are some similar games? Sounds interesting.

I will always buy physical over digital when it is an option. That said, I would buy digital over the game key cards. Other than apparent resale value, the key cards are the worst way to buy and play games.

Too bad because Respawn is really talented but they're stuck making F2P shooters instead of awesome games like Titan Fall.

I'll get Madden for playing on the go as long as it's a decent version. Madden isn't really a collectible so don't care too much about game key card.

I woke up this morning about 7am est, clicked on the Walmart app and preordered without issue. Now we'll see if they actually come through.

I have the budget friendly TCL mini-LED and it's perfectly adequate for gaming.

I hate the way this game looks.

The From Software game is the killer app but I guess it's not a launch title so it's not on this list?

All other publishers love that Nintendo is pioneering the 79.99 price tag. They're one of the few company's that have enough customer loyalty to get away with it and move it toward being the market standard. Gaming is still a relatively inexpensive hobby in the grand scheme of things, and everything is up in price over the last few years, so while disappointing, the higher game prices isn't surprising.

Not sure how I feel about the graphics. While technically the game looks pretty good, something about the art just isn't clicking with me.

How does this game perform on the Switch now? I feel like it had some issues at launch. I'm interested because I do like Suikoden but seems like there is a lot of negativity around this game.

Xenoblade X would be day one of there was a collectors edition. As is, I'll get Suikoden at a discount and skip Lunar. I don't think the Lunar games have aged particularly well.

Game runs great on Switch.

Why no collectors edition?

I have the OG and OLED Switch. I like the blacks on the OLED but honestly some of the colors are almost too much. Then again I recently replaced a 13 year old plasma with a mini LED and I think certain aspects of the plasma looked better (and it seconded as a space heater).

This is a must buy. The first is one of the best Metroidvanias on the Switch.

God Emperor of Dune made me sympathize with a tyrant.

@ear_wig Isnt there already a handheld gaming PC that has a controller that seconds as a mouse?

Ender Lillies was a better game and that team seems capable of releasing a sequel in a "normal" amount of time.

Nintendo ruined their own reveal by not showcasing any software. They revealed a console that looks almost identical to a decade all console, revealed 10 seconds of one game that was fairly predictable as a launch title, and told us zilch about what we all assume will be underpowered inners. I always thought it was okay Nintendo was behind a generation because they're always doing something different (wiimote, wii u gamepad, dual screens on the DS family). This doesn't look nearly different enough to warrant being last gen in terms of specs.

PS4 power seems really underwhelming. I mean, I was playing Bloodborne 9 years ago. Even as a handheld device, I feel like something more powerful should be on offer here. Especially since Nintendo is no longer the only game in town in the handheld market. I suppose it's always possible there is some other innovation we don't know about but all the leaks seem to point to a more powerful Switch.

I'd gladly pay for a physical release. The Soul Reaver games are absolute classics.

Dragon Quest 3 looks fine but I've played the game to death already. I wish they'd release 4 through 7 on the Switch.

@Dpishere is Darkwood any good? It's been on my wishlist forever but I just never pull the trigger on it.

@silver-crescent I'd be happy with a remaster of rogue galaxy 1.

Has anyone played Goat Simulator 3 on Switch? Wondering how it runs.

Agree with the people saying it didn't click for them. I put a good 25 hours into but found it more frustrating than fun. By comparison, preferred both Bloodstained and Ender Lilies. Unfortunately I also just gave Deaths Gambit a shot and I'm not really digging that one at all.

Neat. Isolation is a great game and I'm hearing Romulus is a return to form for the series in theaters.

I'm starting to wonder if this is an advertisement. I feel like this "story" has been on the front page of NL for weeks.

I played it on Xbox years ago and honestly didn't think it was that great. I love indie games but this one never clicked with me.

Would love if they brought this series back. Im in if this is on Switch.

This is one of those games that's really good but also kinda disappointing because the hype. It's not Chrono Trigger but it's better than the vast majority of JRPGs that have come out in recent years.
