@iNintendo I found the new Dragon Age at GameStop for $10

Oh yay!

The quick brown fox

Oh. No. . .

That said . . . it does look pretty cool haha

@DwaynesGames hey thanks for reminding me. I've got that for Wii U and actually need to put the disc in sometime lol

Grounded . . . ness haha. And I get a good feeling from the trailer that it will be. It's the only direction to go. Literally.

You need to be able to opt into displaying your collection publicly, so when you go to trade with someone, you can pull up what they have/need. I was texting with my brother this morning, sharing screenshots of our collection to see what the other needs, and then we'd ask, ok well what do you want among those. Now we've just simplified things and will just go down the list one card at a time.

Also the only Mythical Island card I'm missing is Gyrados ex, but it's going to take forever to build up the trading tokens to be able to trade it. I get that they're trying to avoid a black market, and that they're trying to make money on a F2P game, but it feels a little excessive.

You know what? I think I've decided I'm ok with this kind of thing. Everybody is broke, and I can't blame anyone for trying to bring in a little extra cash if someone is willing to pay.

Innovative-era Nintendo died with Iwata. As did generous Nintendo. Nintendo is now completely profit focused, runs their business like a textbook, plays development safe, is greedy, and is indifferent to their fans except in how they can milk fans' nostalgia to justify unethical pricing. A $50 port of a 20 year-old game that originally cost $30 is not ok, especially when the development costs were a handful of 3D models that they already had.

I bought 10 shares at $11.73 on that low day in August (the 5th). They're now with $14.76. So I've gained $30. But I'm pretty sure they'll go higher at launch, so I'm going to hold on to them for now.

It's interesting that the logo and 2 extend beyond the "Switch" instead of being flush

Oooo, now's the time to invest. 0.1 shares here I come!

surprised Pikachu

. . . No? Is that a question or is it meant to be rhetorical?

@Kilroy ooo, I love this. Was this the original prototype?

@EarthboundBenjy ah, thank you so much for the clarification. That is very different. I picked up an eShop title on 3DS before I was blasted to oblivion. I'm forgetting the name, started with an F. But it's the same concept, and I really enjoyed it for a couple hours.

Fairune! Scrolled up and read more haha. Thanks @Thomystic

Anyone discover fun Tetris games they didn't expect?

@AlanaHagues The bump system is really just rogue, mystery dungeon, other ASCII games, etc, right?

Seriously, do y'all have a Discord where you just pitch puns all day?

@Fortang1980 good call. I'm on board with this

@Zequio that died with Iwata. They're a totally different company now, imo

@themightyant love your profile pic

Do you think one of Nintendo's regular composers wrote the song?

Preordered the physical
Edit: Gasp! No! That was Suikoden I preordered. Guess I have to wait for the Amazon pre-order to go live.

But why? The only reason I can think is that, if Nintendo credited the original developers, Nintendo would owe those developers additional contracting fees or payment or something. Maybe it would open them up to financial or legal issues they'd rather avoid. Otherwise, what do they care? So the credits roll for a bit longer. Who cares?

Am I the only one avoiding Switch 2 spoilers? Like, I fast scrolled through this article in case there are leaked photos in it. I'm really hoping to make it to the Direct for my first visual and details on the device. Also, does NL consider these spoilers? Is there a spoiler alert policy or "reveal spoiler" functionality?

Apparently the remaster is of only the PS1 version does not include anything from the Saturn version. Culgan on YouTube has a really detailed breakdown of the differences.

No physical pre-order bonus in the U.S. huh? I basically never buy new games, and even more rarely, physically. So that would have been nice. Still getting it though.

@-wc- what changes are they making?

Oooo seminal entry in the brawl compendium

does Samurai Jack have a physical?

Edit: apparently there were limited run editions. The switch version is going for minimum $50 on eBay right now. The PS4 version is going for much much more.

@gcunit I absolutely loved rime. Played it on steam t years ago

Didn't Yooka-Laylee come out like two years ago?

@Dirty_Croc yeah for this one that's all I'm planning. I'm hoping to cash out a couple hundred or so. Or, if the shares are converted into Tencent or whatever, I might just keep them.

I invested $100 in Ubisoft when they're stock plummeted after Outlaws with the expectation that it will eventually come back or, best case scenario, they're bought out.

But we already have the cartridge at home

This is a great brawl because they're so different. And for once I actually agree with the majority haha

"Checking Answers" is my favorite track in this playlist.

@FoxyDude Corneria is one Nintendo's best songs ever. Check out the remix by Qumu.

Does anyone know the file type of the songs or streaming quality? I mean, mp3, flacc, or ogg. And then what bit rate their streaming at? I don't actually care; I'm just curious, if anyone happens to know.

Are they all just the Yu-Gi-Oh card game, ultimately?

I didn't know FIFA was on Switch. How is it?

This one couldn't be easier. Except 38% of people disagree haha

This is why I wait at least three months, minimum, to play any game

I don't understand how The World Ends With You didn't make any one of your lists. I mean, I don't like the game, but I get the impression that most other people do

@Manguy888A a 10 turn game is an hour and a half!? If I remember right, 20 turn games used to be an hour, back in the day

The name length glitch is a funny one

@calbeau ah, that's right. It's a development limitation of models, audio, special effects, etc. But I see your point.

@calbeau I'm not familiar. In what way is the collection limited?

I thought this was the one (two) that nobody likes

We got Sonic the Hedgehog 3 before Half-Life 3
