Damn, I actually quite like the Mega Man cover but didn't buy the first LRG release, so my collection would be incomplete.

Pikmin really is Miyamoto's vanity project. He's stated a couple of times now that it didn't take off as much as he thought it would. The solution? Shoehorn them into everything.

I know Miyamoto's free to do whatever the hell he wants, but I sure wish he'd not spent so much of his time working on this crap.

I'd noticed that Nintendo's socials had posted a few Ocarina of Time-related posts over the last month, and people were already speculating then about what they could mean, so it's not like Nate the Hate's speculation is that out of the blue.

These patch notes tell you how much they messed up the original release.

That's true. Plenty of older antagonists in the media recently though.

Seems I'm in the minority here, but I can't wait for a new Zelda voice actor. Her over the top, posh English accent is really grating to my ears. I would have liked to have tried Zelda Notes, but not with the voice direction Nintendo opted for this last decade.

We're overdue a series reset now anyway, aren't we?

“Ugh! I forgot to think before I sniff.”

That, folks, is literal toilet humour.

I wonder if Chris Pratt has put his name forward for the role. shudders

Did I spy an Only Fools and Horses reference?

And just like that, I'm suddenly interested in Pokopia. 😅

Looking forward to this release. The Battle Network Collection was great, so I'm glad to hear the devs have gone the extra mile with this one too.

Anyone else open these 'WAYPTW' articles and skip straight down the page to see what Kate recommends? Can't just be me.

Wow. High praise, indeed. 😅 Saying that, I've yet to try out my Virtual Boy shell, despite it arriving super early.

Poor Lucy. She asked so nicely too.

"We thought it would be fun"

I mean... Money is fun. You can't argue with that.

Meh at it being a paid upgrade for a resolution and frame rate bump, though they have to justify that physical Switch 2 Edition somehow...

Still, I've wanted to play this at 60fps since launch so I'll pay up, eventually.

Ah, the real Dinosaur Jr.

@RupeeClock Right, but why not just update the original article that's less than a week old like they usually do?

Is NL sponsored by Jonathan Blow or something? Not a good look.

I will happily not be supporting this.

Enjoyed the demo a lot. Easy to pick up, ran smooth, endearing connection between Diana and Hugh, and the live hacking mechanic is cool.

I can already tell I'm going to enjoy this much more than Metroid 4 at the very least. Not that that's saying much...

Just finished two playthroughs of the demo (loved the Scribble Suit). I've been looking forward to this one since it was first announced, and I'm really pleased with how promising it is. It controls great, feels smooth, and the interactions between Diana and Hugh are endearing.

I really enjoy the live hacking gameplay too. If only Metroid 4 would have been innovative enough to add something like that, rather than the bike gimmick.

Looks like Indy isn't complete on the card, which makes sense considering its size elsewhere. 60GB on the card and the rest downloaded to the memory.

Glad I'm not interested in any of these titles.

Personal highlight of the Direct for me.

Glad to hear this, as Pragmata is the title I'm most excited for this year (so far). Loved the hacking in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, so this sounds perfect.

Nintendo knows it only has to do the bare minimum to warrant a Switch 2 Edition and get the game back out on to store shelves.

It sells, Nintendo makes money, shareholders are happy. The cycle repeats.

Pouring one out for my beloved Wii U.

I'm sure Final Fantasy VII is still doing quite well, but most have probably opted for the digital route over the GKC.

@caseyyy Same here. And yes, they really are.

@RasandeRose I certainly won't be returning to Mario Kart World though. 😅

Bubbles just looks like his eyes are constantly bleeding.

@datamonkey Well, the original was one of the best selling games on the 3DS, and for OG Switch owner's this is the only big Nintendo release announced for this year (so far).

@RushDawg "As with the majority of Sega's Switch 2 output, the physical version is a Game-Key Card."

So long, GAME. Any chance you could take Ubisoft with you?

Day one here, too! Can't imagine there'll be any difference between the Switch 1 and 2 editions, so I'll likely get the Switch 1 version for the untruncated artwork.

Arguably, it should have never opened in the first place.

I think at this point in the game's life the Flow Aura makes sense. The lobbies have died off a bit in the last 18 months or so, so it's harder to be matched with players of an equal ability, making for some very one-sided matches. The Flow Aura will likely give decent players more of a fighting chance of winning when placed on a crappy team.

That's my interpretation of how it'll work anyways.

Final Fantasy VII - Remember when remakes weren't padded out to make trilogies?

I imagine the Switch 1 versions are selling better physically because the covers of Switch 2 Editions are hideous.

That reminds me, I've still got my new in box Wind Waker Ganondorf model that came with the limited Wii U edition.

Oh, and good point on the new joy-con colours not matching the colours on the Switch 2's mag slot. Unthinkable...

Man, I'm glad to be out of this amiibo collecting game.

FFS. Just call it a day, Ubisoft.

Congratulations, Alana! This was the most unexpected angle I've read in an article on here (in the best possible way).

Hmm... Another surprise, eh? Physical incoming?

I wonder if this two-fer will see a European release now?

About time. I've been waiting for this for nearly a decade.

Congrats to my fellow loners!

Well, that Xenoblade comment was completely uncalled for. The writing in any Xenoblade game is be better than the dialogue found in MP4.
