Honestly fine with any of the options. All strike me as reasonable and way less than it would cost to get an HDMI modded N64.

One of my students absolutely loves this band. I bet she's super happy about this.

Here we go again. Pokemon and NintendoLife. Grab your pitch forks!

These videos aren't worth watching. It's like trying to judge how speakers sound via a different set of speakers. Recording another screen just doesn't do the job.

I think they are pointless without any means to buy replacement parts. What use is there in an official tutorial if we can't officially get parts?

We need right to repair for electronics.

I have to redeem my code later today. But this is a nice freebie! A great way to send off SWSH. Criminally underrated games, they gave the best Multi-player competitive experience I have had since competitive online Pokemon was a thing.

Though not without some serious flaws too, the many improvements. Made to breeding, EV training, and other related things are as big for the series as the physical/special split was back in gen 4.

Not now. Just too busy with work these days. Gaming time much more limited.

Someday maybe. On a sale perhaps.

Probably some kind of behind the scenes business politics getting in the way.

I understood why they did what they did with the 1 island per console thing...

But it's so part of why I don't play anymore. I am not willing to lose my island and I can't start a second save file.

@VoidofLight Stop. Just stop. You don't seem to understand how prices and human labor and inflation works.

I am so sick of the 3DS comparisons. They are so bloody inaccurate.

People should be grateful that most games still cost 60 dollars in the first place. When everything else has risen in cost, shipping, manufacturing, labor, marketing. And most other products have also risen, things like food and fuel.

@SuperCharlie78 Is it really? That's a nice touch!

I really hope this is a big meaty update. Perhaps even a full meat DLC expansion. I want a big reason to get back into this game. Because I have essentially done everything worth doing otherwise and I have more bells than I could ever reasonably use.

I still need to see ot for myself to make the final call. But I do think I want one.

You're not buying anything on cloud. The term is renting. Why should we pay the same for cloud games? We don't own anything cloud based like this. Mega LAME.

@Damo Okay I think we're essentially of the same opinion then.

@Damo Yes, I think that's entirely possible.

More likely, I think they were only given broad, vague details and made their own assumptions.

Bloomberg and Eurogamer make their money off of hype and clickbait. There's financial motive right there.

They were wrong. I don't think it was malicious, I think it was a mistake or greed.

@Robokku It's not a conspiracy theory. I personally think it was more likely a wild guess based on incomplete information. But it was also possible that it was deliberately made up just for click bait because companies make their money off of clicks and ad revenue and they wanted something that would draw that attention.

Another less likely possibility is that Bloomberg and Eurogamer were lied to. That their sources lied to them. Seems unlikely to me because I think they'd know better but I concede it's possible.

I'm sure we will, eventually, see a Switch Pro or Switch 2. I think Nintendo would be absolutely insane not to continue the line. But with the Switch OLED coming out soon, I wouldn't expect anything else for, at the VERY LEAST, a full year.

A lot of folks would be very unhappy to buy a Switch OLED only to have Nintendo just drop a Pro model next year.

Stop. The Bloomberg/Eurogamer story was a lie. At best it was a wild guess based on incomplete info, at worst it was just clickbait.

I mean, I am even the kind of person with literally thousands of anime girl waifu computer wallpapers. And I still don't think I am in the appropriate audience for this.

Guys relax, at least wait until we have confirmation that it's gonna be a store distribution.

I mean I agree those are annoying but we can at least wait for the confirmation before grabbing pitchforks.

Oh I am sure it will be different from everyone's personal expectations. Lol

That's what happens when you're a platform holder with a die hard fan base like Apple.

It just "good business" to profit off of other people's work.

Best release of the holiday season I expect! Day 1 for me!

I loved DBZ growing up, but past the nostalgia factor it's honestly a fairly bland show. Idk if nostalgia is enough to justify the purchase.

@Shambo Yeah an option to just buy the new console and to skip the joycon and dock to save money would be nice.

@KiraMoonvalley That I'm not as concerned with. Just want the main games and any story dlc. Everything else is secondary.

I am in favor of the OLED but won't make my final decision until I can see the new screen with my own eyes. It's not really something you can adequately catch on video.

@KiraMoonvalley I don't even need the collection. Just releases with the DLC in the box. Insta buy.

Puffins are just for contest stats right? They aren't going back to that horrible system they had in LGPE right?

"One can dream" is the accurate thing to say here. Because I think that's all it is.

What an effective way of convincing me to not even consider buying the game.

@RupeeClock No, I am not asking for a synopsis here, I am just asking for a description. Something. A trailer that actually tells us a vague general idea for the story.

Right now there's a fat lot of nothing.

I still want to know what the actual story/goals of the game now. I feel like there's nothing but a collectathon and side quests to this game.

Sometimes folks are reading the article because they're somewhere we can't watch a video.

Shame there's no article here and just someone bragging they got to play a game early with a YouTube url. :/

There's a good few Game Boy and GBC games I'd like to play again. But I'm more interested in GBA to be honest.

On these I'd honestly mostly want the Pokemon TCG game, the classic Pokemon games, probably a little Tetris too.

But on GBA there's also Fire Emblem, Advance Wars, Golden Sun, Mother, Megaman Battle Network games, and so many more that interest me.

@GonsHairLine Stop. You're insulting me. I have watched the Direct. Those are minor side quests.

@GonsHairLine I am not just talking about gyms. I am talking about any goals. What's the point of the game? Good RPGs and JRPGs have a story with a goal. Something you are trying to do, or stop, or defend or protect... etc etc.

Right now this game seems like all we are gonna do is explore and collect. Looks like BOTW with no shrines and no Hyrule Castle. Or like GTA with no story mode.

I was initially fine with this because I have extremely low expectations for the film anyway.

But several of my best friends are LGBT, so I am not okay with what I have heard about him. Wont be watching this.

I am going to convince my boss to let me wear them at work.

Did I misclick onto someone's personal blog?

Wireless charging makes me uncomfortable. Call me a grumpy old fast I you must, but I am just fine with a regular cable.

Just make it USB-C please.

@reporterdavid Don't get me wrong, for the cost of a pack of trading cards, it's solid. I just wouldn't expect more than a couple hours of fun.

PETA is a joke that hurts their own "cause" way more than helping it.

@reporterdavid It's cheap and simple. I grabbed it, played for a couple hours and lost interest. It's not bad but it gets repetitive fast. And the random nature of the game can get annoying.

@Anti-Matter I haven't. Don't know much about it.

@Eel I mean I suppose. I just have so little hope after being let down by Mineral Town and Portia.

I'd rather pay 5 dollars for a nice keychain that looks like this, than 30+ for it to actually work but still be utterly unplayable.

If there was a question "how small is too small?" we have an answer.

It's cute, but pointless.

If Friends of Mineraltown is held up as the better game on Switch, then I'm not bothering. I'm sorry for those with nostalgia to the original - it was the piles of praise that game got that convinced me to buy the remake - but it's just bland.

I've tried both Mineraltown and My Time in Portia since I fell in love with Stardew Valley and playing them just makes me ask why I'm not playing Stardew instead. It's just SUCH a massively better game.

And the only answer I can find is - I've already put several hundred hours into Stardew and want more still. But nothing else live up to it that I've tried so far...

@VoidofLight 3DS and DS games made a lot more sense because games would have to be totally redesigned for single screen.

3rd party exclusives are anti consumer and poor business decisions.

@VoidofLight Why though? Atlus is supposed to be a 3rd party. SMT5 should be on PS4/5, Xbox and PC. And Persona should be on Switch. They're not some small indie studio. A quick Google search suggests they've got hundreds of employees and the backing of Sega. Why do they have all these weird limits?

The only thing I can think of is that they get something in return for only releasing their games on certain platforms. Perhaps Nintendo and Sony give Atlus a larger portion of the profits to release a game only on their systems. But that doesn't make much sense to me. Could they be getting enough more that it warrants limiting their potential audience so much?

Also, this is just a matter of personal taste, but I don't remotely like SMT as much as Persona. The flavor and setting of the Persona series is more appealing to me. I know it's considered a spinoff of SMT and such and I don't actively dislike SMT. I just don't care for it nearly as much.
