It looks awesome! It was strange that we didn't see Pearl or Marina in the trailer though (only the Pearl Drone)

@WhiteUmbrella It isn't really the same as AI. It seems to be something that makes it easier to run tests which are still designed by people. I'm not sure what is usually done when developing games, but something similar to this is very common for developing other software. It isn't replacing things which require creativity like AI is.

Wow, the poll is so close! I chose the Famicom one, because you can see the entire artwork since it isn't covered by the logo. I also like the green more than the white background

@Bluelink45 They did it in Splatoon 2 as well

@samuelvictor The sprites in a 1080p game would be 20.25x larger than a 240p game, since they have the 4.5x the horizontal resolution and 4.5x the vertical resolution

It annoys me when it is something like Sonic Origins where it doesn't take much space, but I understand it for this collection since Arkham Knight is 50GB

This is where the term "Adder" comes from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adder_(electronics) .

It sounds great! Rayman Origins and Legends are some my favourite games ever, so hopefully this will be great too!

Very happy to hear that the physics are good. Hopefully the level design is also great

Was interested in it, but saw this on their website:

"BUY. TAP. COLLECT. Each of our core products connects to our 'True Collection System'. A Mobile app where Digital Proof of Physical Ownership is established. Here you find out the product number recieved & the rarity rank associated with the product to register it to your own secure CRKD collection."

It is seriously putting me off. I just want a good controller for using the switch handheld, not this nonsense.

Teens? They are 21 and 24

The Japanese one is a bad scan. The background is actually black, and the orange is brighter. It seems like the image here has a blue/green tint and is lacking contrast

I am hoping there will be another Splatoon concert. The last one was good, but I was disappointed that there were some songs they didn't do because it was so short. Haicalive Kyoto Mix was a lot longer than the most recent one

I used motion controls when Mario Kart Wii came out, because I was about 7 years old and I thought they were cool, but I have been playing it with a GameCube controller since getting one when the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U controllers were released

I had a 3DS XL, and then I got a New 3DS later on. I voted 3 though, since the New 3DS had an issue with the motherboard so Nintendo replaced it with a new one, so technically I have had 3, although I have only bought 2

My current sense of humour may be affected by the fact I am very tired, but I find it hilarious that page 88 says: "SPOILER ALERT: Beware, explorers! If you don’t wish to hear any story or plot details, skip ahead to Page 94" and then page 94 is just an advertisement for the expansion pass, followed by the back cover!

This is amazing! I find these sort of discoveries fascinating

I'm choosing aliens.I don't think Big Foot is real, and I watched about 10 minutes of a TV program about the Loch Ness Monster which persuaded me more that it didn't exist than that it did (although I think the program was intended to do the opposite, which is why I stopped watching it), so I have to choose aliens. I think it is possible they exist, since the universe is so huge

"Fixed an issue where, at the escalator in Wii Coconut Mall, there would be a communication error when a character could not move forward" how did an escalator cause a communication error? It doesn't even have any cephalopods! It does actually sound like a really strange bug though

I am still a bit confused about how it will work, but I'm sure it will make sense once it is available. I'm hoping that it will make it easier to play with other people without having to become friends with them

@Koda1000 You won't go from B+ to C-. Instead you will go to B-. https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Rank#Rank_Reset

I was looking forward to ordering it, but the shipping to Australia is as expensive as the book. I will have to wait for it to be available elsewhere (EDIT I found it somewhere with cheaper shipping to Australia and ordered it. I am really looking forward to it!)

@Olliemar28 That would mean that 5% of people in Japan have bought the game

Wow that is very impressive. Hopefully that means Nintendo will support the game for a long time

Wow Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is still 4!

Eternal Engine from Sonic Adventure 2 is great. It is my favourite music from the Tails levels. Also the music in the 6th site in Alterna in Splatoon 3 goes much harder than I expected it to.

Both are really good this week. I went with Japan because it doesn't have borders

I am imagining the phone call with the bank afterwards "My pet fish shared my credit card details on a livestream"

@ComfyAko Yes that would work well. I am just thinking that this mini-game could be a lot more difficult then it was originally in Kirby Super Star for people playing on some TVs

@Leksa Many TVs, even in gaming mode, are still slower than monitors and SD CRTs

This is going to be really difficult to play on a TV because of the delay from many (probably nearly all) HD TVs

@Dezzy70 The original was completely fine to play as a single player

I like to buy physical games because then I can sell them if I don't like them. If there is a digital game I would like to get that is on sale I will still get it though. Physical games are also always about $10 cheaper too.

I am looking forward to the cheaper ones. The Green Hill Zone one was a little bit too expensive since I haven't got a new Lego set since I was about 12 and I don't know if I would still enjoy it. It was also too big and I didn't know where I would put it when I finished it. A $29 USD set will be much less of a risk, as well as hopefully being small enough to fit on a shelf more easily

@octokid I got Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury as well!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Did they ever actually release the Deep Cut ones? They showed them in some advertising, but I don't remember them being available

The Japanese box art is great. The cropping on the European one is strange. It doesn't really work for a horizontal box. The North American one is strange. I am struggling to work out what is happening. Is the part with the title supposed to be the ground? That then makes the perspective seem strange

Team Sour! I like lemon! I always like the lemon flavor things, and I also always have lemon on pancakes. I also just eat lemons sometimes

@Zybrissa That is probably just from the quality of the scan

It looks pretty good, even though the trailer felt really long and didn't really explain the game much. I doubt it will run on my PC. The graphics look too nice. Sonic Frontiers only just runs on my PC at 720p 30 fps with low settings. Maybe one day I will get a PS4 so I can play all these games I am missing.

This game looks really good! It is probably the game I am looking forward to the most from the showcase.

I am very close to the highest part of the graph. It is an interesting graph. I am confused by why 1 year old isn't completely flat. It is probably just mistakes when making accounts (or at least hopefully it is!)

SSX 3's use of licensed music was pretty cool. It is difficult to explain what it does if you haven't played the game, but the music sort of changes depending on how you are doing. Like for example if you keep crashing into things it takes away parts of the song, but then if you do a trick and get a lot of points it all comes back when you land

@Snatcher $80 AUD is about $52 USD. Games for other consoles sometimes cost $100 or even $110, but I am not used to it since the only current console I have is a Switch

I don't understand why Sonic Frontiers costs $100 in Australia. Most Switch games are $80. Most stores will have it cheaper but it is still strange. I was going to get the PC version so I can play it at 60fps, but I am not spending $100 on a game

This is really cool!

Although it does have some very significant side effects, not letting anyone play online at all is an incredibly effective way of combating cheating

"That wouldn’t be cross-play, it would be a seance." I laughed so much. Very entertaining review

This is a little bit off topic, but does anyone else really dislike Sega's own logo thing at the end of their videos with the eye. I find it uncomfortable to look at.

This one is nice though

It comes with stickers! I wish I could just buy them
