I think that Joycon are an incredible idea with terrible execution. The ability to switch from a handheld console to a 2 player tabletop console in one piece (nothing extra) is still really cool to me, but they made them too small, prone to failure (beyond stick drift), and WAY too expensive.
With that being said, if the next console has backwards compatibility (and it should) then I fully expect Joycon to be compatible wirelessly.
The ONLY Funko I own (and probably will ever own) is that KH1 Sora with the box art display case. Got that back when we didn't know if Sora was getting an amiibo and the artwork is pretty sick.
Beyond that, I really don't care for these things.
If this is anything like the previous Capcom sales, then they've also got the Capcom Fighting Bundle for $25, which gets you both the Capcom Fighting Collection and the Street Fighter Legacy Collection.
That's 22 of Capcom's best arcade fighting games on the go, including every arcade SF up to Third Strike and Hyper SF2, every Darkstalkers game, both Puzzle Fighters, Cyberbots and Red Earth which is exclusive to the collection. I highly recommend it over the Arcade Stadiums if you're looking for fighting games.
1. VII Rebirth
2. VII Remake Intergrade
3. Crisis Core (Reunion)
4. VI Advance
5. Theatrhythm Final Bar Line (if only they'll ever put the DLC on sale)
6. Chocobo GP
7. VII
8. Dissidia 012
@frenchtoastplease Karateka I don't think was huge but Atari 50 did pretty well for them I would guess. Without a doubt the best way to play well over 100+ old games and they recently said they're returning to it with free updates and possibly paid dlc (mayyyybe some third party stuff as well).
I think the reason people don't talk about them much is that they focus on the game history more than the game itself. For example, Street Fighter fans will tell you that DE's 30th anniversary collection is the absolute worst way to play these games and that's because they're right. Not that great online and some input lag. I bought it but more so I can just have the games and soundtracks on my Switch (and that it was $5 lol).
And the more recent games (SNK, Atari, and now this) are collections with some decent games here and there but it is mostly a playable history documentary, which I personally love but the wide appeal isn't there.
@Jiggies Hey, I love LGE. All I need is some decent graphics, stable framerate, and some interactability with your Pokémon. All Gamefreak has to do is take some time and make a really good game.
I'll admit, the DLC for Gen 9 made the game much better, but the graphics and unstable game still breaks the game for me. Palworld is in early access and it still runs better. The biggest multimedia franchise in the world could do better.
@piyuv I was honestly comparing it as "somewhat ok" because it does dip and chug and there are some poor textures here and there but it's leagues better than Gen 9 for example
@Jiggies I actually love Pokemon but I also love half-decent graphics, interesting mechanics and more interactions with my pocket monsters so the mainline games have gotten old.
I love Let's Go Eevee for example because it's the best looking Pokémon game on Switch, it has good interactability with your Pokémon, and it has some fun catching mechanics.
I think this is what gamefreak should aspire to compete with. Fun, open-world gameplay where you can do all sorts of things with your 'mon. And somewhat ok graphics (which somehow Pokémon's are worse)
I mean, I'm fine if they're not on a cart as long as it isn't a code. If I can take my cart and put it in my other Switch and still play all the games I'm good.
@Sisilly_G Even though there aren't any in this update, apparently they are adding more interviews and art to the timeline in later updates. I expect that to be a pretty large update.
Like some other people said, I'm fine owning games digitally!
But putting a code in a box defeats why I collect physical games. My switch could get smashed and replaced, the servers could shut down, but I'd still have my physical games. Nothing stuck on a console or an account.
Yes I'll buy digital games, I'm a sucker for Capcom, SNK, and Bandai Namco sales, but those games are cheap! I can pay $5 for the Street Fighter collection and not feel bad if I eventually lose that purchase somehow. But for full priced games, I try to stay physical.
Oh dang, I was going to wait for Play Asia to eventually put the physical copies on sale but I didn't realize it was only 20 bucks... that's a fantastic deal and I can use my CD pad on the Switch version.
Honestly, I am very excited for this. I really liked Detective Pikachu and seeing everything in "live-action." I liked the Mario Movie too, but man seeing Link in a cinematic movie will be so cool.
As good as it looks I can't justify 60 bucks for an SNES remake with not much extra content. I'll just finally start playing through it on my SNES mini.
This sounds fantastic considering I was just planning on buying a VCS this Black Friday. Digital Eclipse has always made bundles of old games something special.
@HammerKirby Well, Dante is a Mii Fighter, and while that doesn't necessarily mean it couldn't be him, they have done something similar before by dropping a Heihachi Mii Fighter in FP1 then Kazuya as an actual fighter in FP2.
I love Ultimate, so at this point I can see them do one of two things: "reboot" the series with a much smaller roster, a more defined story, and only feature Nintendo characters, or they just port Ultimate with a few more popular characters, stages and spirits.
I would prefer the latter. Get us up to 100 characters, Rayman, Vergil (to continue Vergil being only in final editions lol), Geno, Waluigi, Master Chief, and whoever else deserves to be in. Make Ultimate more Ultimate.
I loved using mine as a secondary portable for a while. They were selling them new/refurbished for 40-60 bucks at some point, it was a really cool, stripped down and cheap way to play a ton of cool games.

Re: Talking Point: Would You Want To Reuse Your Joy-Con On 'Switch 2'?
I think that Joycon are an incredible idea with terrible execution. The ability to switch from a handheld console to a 2 player tabletop console in one piece (nothing extra) is still really cool to me, but they made them too small, prone to failure (beyond stick drift), and WAY too expensive.

Re: Poll: Are You Bothered By The Frame Rate For Paper Mario: TTYD On Switch?
No 60 fps is a deal breaker for me. Not paying $50 for a game that can't run at 60.
I have the original on my Steam Deck OLED, upscaled to 720p, widescreen and a full 60 fps. I'll stick to that.
Re: Back To The Future, He-Man And, Er, Hot Fuzz Collide On Switch In 'Funko Fusion'

Re: Palworld Has A Pokémon Mod, Though Video Takedowns Are Already Being Dished Out
@DennisReynolds The graphics on Gen 9 are so bad it ruins the experience for me. There's artistic styling, and then there's that.

Re: Masahiro Sakurai On His Future: "I'm Still Creating Games For The Time Being"
Sakurai needs to be done with smash. I love the guy but one of Nintendo's biggest franchises cannot be reliant on one man.
Hopefully they just let him do his own thing. Actually, it would be cool to see Sakurai make games outside of Nintendo.
