Re: Poll: How Hyped Are You For Nintendo's E3 Direct?

Do you remember the Peanuts comic strip where Charlie Brown tries to kick the football? As a Metroid fan, I feel like Charlie Brown and Nintendo is standing in for Lucy ("we promise not to pull it away this time"). Also, it's not easy being a fan of F-Zero, Wave Race, and Star Fox. It's a good thing I like Zelda.

Re: Two Point Campus Appears On Microsoft Store, And It Looks Rather Bonkers

Two Point Hospital might still be on sale on the eshop. Three days ago, I got the Jumbo Upgrade DLC, which was also on sale. I look forward to jumping back into the game and checking it out. I enjoy the puns (such as Mock Star, with Freddie Mercury wannabes strutting around, and Lightheadedness, whose sufferers have light bulb heads) and general sense of humor (if a patient dies, the ghost wanders around but a properly-skilled janitor can vacuum it up Luigi style). I am definitely intersted in this university-themed follow up.

Re: Video: 14 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In June

I already have Tony Hawk and Destroy All Humans on PS4 with no desire to double dip. As a retro gamer, I am excired to play Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Alex Kidd. This is the first I've heard about Fallen Knight, but the screenshot looks intriguing; I'd like to see more before committing. Game Builder Garage and Mario Golf go on my Eventually list, waiting for a Black Friday or Mario Day sale.

Re: Soapbox: Be Happy, This Is The True Golden Age Of Gaming

As a longtime gamer, I am rather forgiving of graphics on the Switch. I was happy to play Space Invaders and Asteroids; look how far we've come. Plus, I can play handheld.

Also, I remember the console wars of the 90's and marvel that I can play Mario, Sonic, and Crash Bandicoot games on my Nintendo system.

When Nintendo releases the Metroid Prime games for the Switch, it will officially be my favorite console. F Zero, and Wave Race would be nice too. And StarFox without gimmickry controls...
