Not interested in a lot, and most of the games there you can't even play on Switch. I was interested in the Finals S3 (cannot recommend it enough, very fun), Metaphor seems to be shaping up to be a possible GOTY contender, Slitterhead seems very interesting especially if the rumors that Junji Ito worked on it are true, and Killer Bean seems very fun.
@ATHFjman18 Nah I wouldn't worry about it, I showed up to target on tears of the Kingdom launch day at opening time and they had plenty of stock for everything
I really liked the pixel art, especially compared to the art design Superstars has. I don't know what it is, but it just looks like a really bland, generic art style. Would have much preferred if they had just gone with the art design the Adventure and Advance games had.
It could still be Illumination, because they wouldn't reveal that they are working on the movie without Nintendo letting them or else they would get skinned. Hopefully it's not Illumination though.
I don't really think Illumination is the best for this kind of movie. Almost all of their movies are mediocre, and they don't have a good art style for Zelda. I feel like DreamWorks would be better, or Sony, but that would never happen. It works for Mario, but Zelda needs a relatively complex plot and actual emotional beats.
@YoshiFlutterJump The game leaked online, so if you have a hacked switch you can download the game and then put it on your switch, and play it that way.
@Ralizah The tears of the kingdom subreddit has a lot of leaked clips, I haven't seen them myself because I don't really want to get spoiled, but check it out if you want to see them.
@AstraeaV Probably not, the person who posted this said it's from a 2021 private conference with Sega, which would explain why, and it could have been most likely a tech demo or a very early build that was just using spruced up models from the Dancing games.
Looks honestly very interesting, but I wonder if there are weapons that you can't create using the fuse system. Also, the zonai do have something to do with the story, since one of the items was called "Zonai Charge".
Wish Nintendo would do Legos with other series than Mario. Back in late 2021 there was a Metroid Lego Ideas set that went nowhere, so I don't have much hope for this.
@WhiteTrashGuy The switch pro or whatever the next console will be will probably be announced during E3 2023, with the console either launching Holiday 2023 or Spring 2024
Microsoft will no matter what keep COD on Playstation, as not only does it make more money that way, but if they were to make it exclusive, I believe they would actually lose money. Xbox console sales are sold at a loss, so there's no point to try to up the amount that are sold imo. Although Sony's concern about becoming Nintendo 2.0 (the irony) is warranted, they still have exclusive "mature/adult" games, such as God of War, Kill zone, Uncharted maybe, etc. Perhaps Sony should start using their IPs instead of complaining so much.
@sixrings Can't tell honestly if you're serious or not. Modern games are barely playable without a frame rate of over 20-25. Plus, older games generally had a frame rate of 60.
@somnambulance The 2/10 to review from digital trends wasn't very good though. It might be their opinion, but they brought up some really bad reasons. At one point they even called it worse than Sonic '06. They also just randomly brought up Dunkey.

@Cheez Probably jobs that were made redundant after COVID and different jobs overlapping between Microsoft and Activision-Blizzard after the merger.

@Ryu_Niiyama kinda microsofts fault though releasing the series s/x right after the xbox one s/x

@AstroTheGamosian problem is that trauma center relied on the ds stylus and wiimote
Re: Sonic Mania 2 Didn't Happen Because Sega Wanted To "Move Beyond" Pixel Art

Re: Poll: Were You Able To Get The New Super Smash Bros. Ultimate amiibo?
Might have been able to get it if it wasn't for the scalpers that bought it all up.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder, A Brand New 2D Mario Game, Is Coming To Switch
It looks interesting, and it's nice to not have another New Super Mario Bros. game
Re: Princess Peach Will Star In Her Own Game On Switch In 2024
Very cool aesthetic in my opinion. Nice to see them not do the NSMB style anymore.
Re: Super Mario RPG Is Getting A Remake This November, And It Looks Amazing
Its about time it get's remade
Re: Mario Movie Producer Denies Legend Of Zelda Film Rumours
It could still be Illumination, because they wouldn't reveal that they are working on the movie without Nintendo letting them or else they would get skinned. Hopefully it's not Illumination though.
Re: Embracer Group To Make Severe Cutbacks After Absurd Spending Spree
@Erigen Agreed completely. Last game was on the PS1 iirc
Re: Hands On: Disney Illusion Island Is A Spectacular Platforming Surprise
Not really interested in the game, but I have to admit that it has a nice art style
Re: Rumour: Universal Closing "Big Deal" With Nintendo For Zelda Illumination Movie
I don't really think Illumination is the best for this kind of movie. Almost all of their movies are mediocre, and they don't have a good art style for Zelda. I feel like DreamWorks would be better, or Sony, but that would never happen. It works for Mario, but Zelda needs a relatively complex plot and actual emotional beats.

Re: Soapbox: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Incredible Opening Is One Of Nintendo's Best
It was creepy, but I wish it was a bit more like the E3 teaser.
Re: Save Big On Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom With This GameStop Trade-In Offer (US)
Ngl, this is kinda a bad deal. You have to trade in two games to be able to get only $50 on the game? Not even the full game?
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Pirates Called Out By Former NoA Boss Reggie
@YoshiFlutterJump The game leaked online, so if you have a hacked switch you can download the game and then put it on your switch, and play it that way.

Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Leaks Apparently Appearing In The Wild
@Ralizah Someone got a copy of the game early, and they started streaming it online, so the game has leaked completely.
Re: Microsoft's Activision Blizzard Acquisition Has Been Officially Blocked In The UK
Cloud gaming is really bad and barely has a player base, I find it weird that this is why the deal was blocked.
Re: Keiji Inafune Is The Producer Of Level-5's New Fantasy Life Game On Switch
@ATaco To be fair, he somehow messed up Mighty No. 9 so horribly that's it's understandable that most people would lose respect.

@Markatron84 God no, don't remind me
Re: Deals: Incredibly, These Zelda And Metroid amiibo Are Down To Just $5 Right Now
Went to buy it through shipping, and somehow there was enough fees that the price went all the way up to $20.

Re: Uh Oh, It Looks Like The Mario Movie Blu-ray Steelbook Release Date Leaked
@Member_the_game Only really for collector's purposes or if you like the series. I don't think I've ever seen anyone irl have a Blu ray though.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Trailer Gets Creative With Vehicle Building, Fused Weapons
Looks honestly very interesting, but I wonder if there are weapons that you can't create using the fuse system. Also, the zonai do have something to do with the story, since one of the items was called "Zonai Charge".
Re: Rumour: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch OLED Could Be Officially Revealed Today
Can't wait for any stock to be completely taken by scalpers
Re: Decarnation Brings Disturbing, Disgusting Pixel Art Horror To Switch In May
@PessitheMystic The Enigma of Amigara Fault is a pretty good intro to his style, and it's a short story that you can finish in less than ten minutes.
Re: Feature: “There Is A Deep Respect For Japan's Proud Mecha Anime Culture Hidden In Every Conceivable Part”
My favorite mecha designs would have to be the EVAs from Evangelion because of how organic and biological they look.
Re: Nintendo Reminds Us Advance Wars For Switch Is One Month Out From Release

Re: UK Charts: Metroid Prime Remastered Bags Franchise's Fourth Biggest Boxed Launch
It's been impossible to find in my area, it's sold out at Best Buy, Target, Walmart, GameStop, and Amazon.
Re: Talking Point: Which Is Your Favourite 3DS Theme?
Going to have be the Golden Majora Mask theme. Simplistic and it makes the UI feel more premium in a way
Re: Pokémon GO Plus + (Yes, Two Pluses) Lets You Bunk With Pikachu
So I can sleep with a pokemon now? I never expected to have that happen.
Re: Random: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Lego Ideas Set Qualifies For Official Review
Wish Nintendo would do Legos with other series than Mario. Back in late 2021 there was a Metroid Lego Ideas set that went nowhere, so I don't have much hope for this.
Re: Nintendo Minute Videos Are Being Set To Private On Nintendo's YouTube Channel
I think the videos are on the news section of the switch home menu, so maybe you could still watch it through there.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy Magics Up July Release Date On Switch, Launches After Other Versions

Re: Princess Peach And Donkey Kong Debut In New Super Mario Bros Movie Trailer
Looks like the posters that leaked were real, but all the models look wayyyy better in motion than they do on the posters.
Re: Nintendo Direct Announced For The Premiere Of Super Mario Bros. Movie's Second Trailer
That screenshot honestly looks like it is straight out of a 3D Mario game.
Re: Random: Sony Alleges That Microsoft Is Trying To Turn It Into Nintendo

Re: Miyamoto Unsurprisingly Reckons The Super Mario Movie Will Be Pretty Good
Cannot wait for the movie. It looks great so far.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Sonic Frontiers On Switch
Guess I'll be skipping the Switch version and going for the Xbox One version.
