I know it is really unlikely to happen. But Devil Survivor 3 would be amazing! (I got to go finish the second game someday. I finished the first game twice! And almost done with the third playthrough.)
Persona 1 and 2 port, remaster or remake would be great too. (Since I don't really want to pay a fortune to get those games on PS1 or PSP.)
@FullMetalWesker Last comment so I can get it off my chest, I agree with you depending on the country/where people live. But in Canada, you won't find anyone who would call a fast food place a "luxury" and many won't consider video games as a luxury (maybe the consoles themselves would count, but not the games.) If you call every Want in the world a luxury, then why is it not called "Needs and Luxuries?" So basically not every Want is a Luxury item or service. And if you are not saying every Want is a Luxury, then never mind I guess... (My mind is all over the place with this topic...)
(And just to stay on topic with this article... I see this Switch emulator protection stuff not doing well in the long run.)
@FullMetalWesker I'm not stubborn. And I am very open minded, but Food regardless if it is from a damn fast food restaurant is and will always be in the Need section for crying out loud. (Edit: It only becomes a luxury if you are at a really expensive restaurant, where it's around $500 per person/meal for example. Just because you get food quickly at a fast food place, does not mean it's a luxury.)
If you look at more dictionaries they will have different answers to what luxury is.
When I went to college, they had Needs, Wants, Luxury, all separate. Their are Wants that have nothing to do with being a "luxury."
I did not want to argue about this topic. All I wanted to say was Video games are not necessarily a Luxury.
Edit: Basically what you are saying with your comment it is "Needs and Luxuries" only, not Needs and Wants. There is a reason why it is called Needs and Wants and not "Needs and Luxuries", and Luxury is used for the much more expensive wants. Because with your logic, I guess a piece of paper, a pen, a eraser, a plastic bag, a random piece of wood is a "Luxury."
@FullMetalWesker I know that most fast food restaurants are not healthy. But regardless of that, it is still food and that is a necessity/need in life.
And nope, Luxury is meant for very expensive things. Just because something is not a need, does not make it a "Luxury." Just plain want.
Wants does not always = Luxury.
Sorry, but nobody can change my mind on this topic.
@Bunkerneath Well with that info, I will probably not get these games on the Switch then.
(I really regret selling my 3DS copy of Snake Eater for $20 CAD way back then... but then again it makes no sense why the price just jumped so high all of a sudden for the game, when it was still going for around $20 in 2021...)
Yeah I noticed about those RedDeer games in the Eshop. They are doing that with all their games. And I was like, "is this even allowed?" Is Nintendo just going to let them do that all the time, or will they put a stop to it I wonder. (And I think a couple other publishers is now doing the same thing I believe.)
@Kynwal The original game on PS3 did not require internet to play it though. Not every game that has online features requires you to connect to the internet if the single player mode does not need internet to play it.
@Dazman Nah it is not the best Pokemon game ever. If the game was more polished and added a little more something to it then just an open world (like more buildings we can go into, and do stuff, etc) then I would consider it as a contender for being the best, but nope. Black/White 2 is still the best Pokemon game imo.
@tektite_captain I don't see anything wrong with the name. It's fine to me.
Titles are mostly not a factor if I want a game or not. But I do understand that certain key words can make people interested or have no interest at all right away.
Nice, this is a big time frame to claim this. They should do this will all future distributions. (Still kinda annoyed that I missed the shiny clefairy distribution because it was too short of a time to claim one.)
Thought Koopa Cape would have been my favourite out of all the courses in this wave since it was one of my go to courses on Mario Kart Wii, but surprisingly my favourite is actually Vancouver Velocity, it's a really nice race track.
Pretty good opening animation overall. But something feels off when I see the transitions from 0:50 - 1:03 when they were showing the other characters off then literally they turn into the main blonde character lol.
@UltimateOtaku91 A new Mario Party will probably come out next year. (I'm assuming that because superstars is 3 years apart from super Mario party, and Super Mario Party is 3 years apart from Mario Party 10, so I am guessing a new Mario Party will come out every 3 years.)
It's going to be Baten Kaitos remaster when it comes out for me. (But if I would choose a brand new game title that haven't been released before 2023, then I don't know which one to choose.)
@theModestMouse I disagree. It's not boring, and it does not matter what year a combat mechanic came out, it can still be great anytime. Just depends on how well they execute it in game. And Super Mario RPG is really amazing.
5 years, and some things just got worse with the game. The bots they added in EVERY game (talking about the 100 "players" you fight against) is just making the game a let down. I want to be able to fight 100 actual players again...
Also they got to fix the character skins in game. They take forever to load in the matches, and you see many people with "default" skins, but they actually have different skins on.
@jco83 Dude, streaming games can increase sales for the game, because it can get new people to buy the game when they see the game on someone's stream, etc. And nothing is wrong with people just watching someone play the game when they won't get the game.
And fun fact: Many game developers/publishers now sponsor a lot of streamers nowadays to play their game on Stream.

Re: Sega & Atlus Airing Special Broadcast At The Tokyo Game Show Next Month
@Gex They could make a new one with new controls though.

And any brand new game are welcomed.

Re: Denuvo's 'Switch Emulator Protection' Is Now Available Via Nintendo's Official Dev Portal
@Savage_Joe
I know Luxury is a want, but not all wants are a luxury. That is what I am getting at. And that is a fact/truth.
I am not saying luxury is not a want... Read my sentence better next time. I said "not always."

Re: Denuvo's 'Switch Emulator Protection' Is Now Available Via Nintendo's Official Dev Portal
@Miu I wouldn't classify video games as a "luxury." Luxury's are usually products or services that are much more expensive.

@Astral-Grain Wait, I thought you are always suppose to stay connected to the internet when using Steam?

Re: Talking Point: After Three Months, What's Your Zelda: TOTK Completion Percentage?
0%, might get the game by Christmas.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Pokémon Stadium
Even though the Japan cover has a lot of Pokemon on it, I just chose the NA/EU cover just because it has a Stadium on it XD.
Re: Feature: The Rise Of 'Scam Games' And 'Keyword Bingo' Firms Flooding Switch eShop

Re: Review: Pokémon Trading Card Game - A Cracking Adaptation That Still Holds Up
Loved playing this game when I was a kid. 10/10 for me.
I still wished they kept making Pokemon TCG games on consoles instead of PC.
Re: Review: Pokémon Stadium 2 - A Sequel Of Gold (& Silver) Standard
I don't know about you guys, but I personally give both Pokemon Stadium games 10/10.
Re: Take-Two CEO Defends Red Dead Redemption's $50 Price Tag, Says It's "Commercially Accurate"
Well if it's a really good port with no issues, then I guess $50 USD is okay. If it has issues on launch, then I am going to say it is not worth $50.

Not a fan with the in game hair animation. But overall, the game looks alright.

Re: Poll: Which Dormant Nintendo Franchise Would You Most Like To See Return?
I would love a new excite trucks or bots game.
Re: Deals: New Best Buy Promotion Lets You Pick Up Free Nintendo Switch Games
Not worth it for me since I rarely buy from this store. It's worth it if you exclusively buy several games from them though.
Re: Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince Has "One Save Slot Per Switch Account"
I view the multiple Nintendo accounts as "save slots" for the Switch. So I don't see a problem to this.

@UltimateOtaku91 A new Mario Party will probably come out next year. (I'm assuming that because superstars is 3 years apart from super Mario party, and Super Mario Party is 3 years apart from Mario Party 10, so I am guessing a new Mario Party will come out every 3 years.)
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Demos - Try Before You Buy On Switch eShop
I would also add Jack Move to the list. I enjoyed the game when I tried the demo.
Re: Takaya Imamura: F-Zero Hasn't Been Revived Because Mario Kart Is Nintendo's "Most Popular Racing Game"
They could completely change how F-Zero works imo. Like make it a racer, but with a whole new thing added to it making it not just a racer.
Re: New Limited-Time Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Distribution Is Now Available
I'm glad they are giving away a shiny Arcanine! Arcanine is my favourite Pokemon!
Re: Poll: What's Your Game Of The Year Of 2023 So Far?
