@johnedwin and now people who didn't buy those consoles can play them here. I would've gotten a PS5 solely for FF7 Remake but now i don't have to and am saving about 700 bucks.
It's an extra 20 bucks on a game you're going to spend hours and hours of time playing. If you're not, don't buy it. If you play one of these games for 100 hours, that's 80 cents per hour for cost of entertainment, the heck are you going to find entertainment that cheap anywhere else?? I'm convinced a lot of people reacting negatively genuinely can't afford it (which no shade thrown, life isn't the same for everyone, fair) or people who don't know how to budget money versus time value. Not to mention inflation and I'm sure other "current events" aren't helping either.
@ChessboardMan why would you need to switch between Switch and Switch 2 versions? if you're playing the Switch version with upgrade pack, it's not going to magically stop working on the original Switch. And why can't you take the Switch 2 with you it's still portable?
Oh man to narrow it down.... favourite would be Breath of the Wild and I couldn't imagine never playing that game again, but I have hundreds of hours into Fire Emblem Three Houses and both Octopath games. But then there's Smash Bros where I have about 1500 hours...
Gonna go with Zelda for now but the others are tied very close for 2nd place.
@jesse_dylan we know next to nothing about the game yet how are people already rippign on this game. Also the battling seems like an evolution of Arceus? Hows that throwing it all away?
Gold and Silver that high is certainly a choice. I know HGSS is a little overrated itself but thats another discussion.... but GS above FRLG and ORAS and BW?!
Still no Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze on sale?? I wanted to grab it this week or Black Friday but nothing. For a port you'd think it would be a no-brainer especially with the new one coming soon.
Alfyn and Partitio were both my starting characters so seeing them cheersing a drink is awesome. Octopath 2 is probably my top 3 favourite games on the Switch with the first one in top 10. Great series and well deserved.
I thought it would just be a cool way to look at the cards, I've never tried getting into the battling but figured I'd try the game out. Got the Charizard crown EX in the first 3 pulls and was like "Oh no, this is how the addiction starts....."
@Cipher36 I mean they're a British site and it's a British pop band, and even myself who lives in Canada, immediately thought of S Club 7 and has never even heard of whatever "ain't no party like a Diddy party" is.
I'll echo everyone else and say Wind Waker because I never got to own it. Borrowed it when I had a Gamecube and never owned a Wii U, so I'd love to finally have a copy.
My main hope for any sort of remaster/remake is Pokemon Colosseum.
For new games there's nothing I'm really craving for but I would take an Octopath Traveler 3 teaser please and thanks. Or even that the next Smash is in development as a launch title for the new system.
