JNKPlat's 2-button-jump mechanic, FTW!!!

... They definitely should've used a joystick in that advert.

What's is wrong with his face...?!

"NO. We don't like making 2D pixel games".
... But you aren't making them, they are. You're making the 3D games.
"NO!!! But we don't like making 2D pixel games!"
etc, etc..

Bring back YDKJ. The frequently updated Facebook edition was the BEST!!!! I would 100% pay a subscription to that.

@Ooccoo_Jr These definitely count.. And so do the rapidly diminishing coins in my bank.

Those little blocks are so cute. Desktop ornaments FTW!!
I shouldn't, though. I have way too much stuff as it is. Had to buy MORE shelves, the other day.
When one large Ikea Malm drawer is choc full of Star Trek Starships that won't fit on your shelves, it's probably time to stop buying knick-knacks.

I SO wish I could get along with this.
Instead, I've started from scratch with SmileBASIC again, am having a ton of fun writing a new framework for future AGameAWeek games, and have already abandoned both MKWorld and DKBananza.. Oops!!

It is very much the Mario Galaxy 2 of Odyssey, though, isn't it?
There's so many "it's the same" instances that I've noticed while playing it, many more than I expected.
And when you see that "goomba test" thing they showed off, it makes it all the more apparently that this probably WAS going to be Odyssey 2.
It really does make you wonder how ready "Switch Pro" actually was, back in 2020.

Hela looked nice.
..... .. ....?

@Markatron84 Where is my dull grey? I demand a dull grey!!

Would be nice if Nintendo did things like this.
.. And themes.
What happened, Nintendo!?

Being able to reclaim lost inventory by revisiting the place you've died has been a stable in videogames for .. AGES!!! (Donkey's years!)
I think I first encountered it in Ultima Online.

Aww, how cute. What a cute little game. That squirty mud is getting everywhere. Awww, cute..
Perhaps there'll be a sequel where you play as the house owner, and have to clean up all the wanko's silly squirty mud with some kleenex.

Wii Sensor Bar v2 with a camera+mic on it, with the option to stick it to the top of your telly, or alternatively, clip it to the dock if the dock's facing you.

And keep the sensor in the bottom of the right joycon so it can work with the Sensor Bar.

We get the camera, but also get the mouse precision without the awkwardness of holding a joycon at a weird angle.

Honestly, it's almost like Nintendo didn't have 5 years since their delayed 2020 SwitchPro to think about this stuff.

Also, if the GameShare's using WiiU's streaming tech (which it seems to be doing) .. Why the heck isn't the Switch streaming to the dock!?

Wow, it's static and useless. Awesome.

Option 1 - That little screen and tech they have in the Mario.
Option 2 - make it big enough to fit around a Switch, with the buttons pushing contact-pads down onto the screen.
Option 3 - Same as, but for phones.
Option 4 - Even a little RPi Zero would've done the job.

Really quite disappointed, here.

Can we have an update that brings back O's Alt-Voice from PPT1 please? The PPT2 one is all kinda of "normal", and I just don't like it.

Pi-Pi-Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!

@Greatluigi To buy all the DLC on the iPhone edition, it's £34.99 as a complete bundle.
Does the Switch edition have any DLC...?

@Kyloctopus https://playfivewords.com/ ?

It's ok, I suppose. Feels like 100 menus to get to 2 seconds of puzzle, though. I prefer things to be the other way around.
Game first, waffle later!

I suffer badly from physical motion sickness (brain surgery, goop in my head, waves, etc) and a lot of things trigger it off.
Mario Kart World, for example, I can play happily on 50cc, but bump me up to 100cc, and nausea-rama!

For the majority of this game, I've surprisingly been ok, but yesterday I had a couple of boss battles which seemed to start spinning the camera around and around in ways that the earlier ones hadn't. Those had to be dealt with a good hour's rest in-between them!!
Incidentally, I still haven't 100%'d Mario Odyssey, for the same reason. Towards the end, the boss battles got more and more spinny.

@MyMemory The concept of "We can't make one game to fit all three movies, so let's make three different games" is kinda the solution that I think would work better for Who. Lots of differently styled games, one for each Doctor (or .. ..There are a lot, maybe 2 Doctors per game style) but their storylines would all come together to create a larger narrative.

@MyMemory Die Hard Trilogy

@MyMemory I haven't yet found a Who game that does the show justice. There's so much variation in the show, over the decades, you'd think they could've found something that could encompass everything in a nice way. Like, each Doctor has a different gameplay mechanic, and you have a ton of variation as you play through each doctor's adventures.
... Or would that be too much!?
Probably.

I have no qualms with the revival series, and watched a good 20 or so episodes before drifting off to something else. I really should go back and watch the rest.
There was nothing wrong with it, IMHO.

Now.. licensed games based on BBC IP... That's a whole other issue.
Are there ANY good examples? .. Hitchhikers, and then.. um...

@Flashlink99 Spoilers!!!

But will it still be Open World?

I decided not to buy Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S, because I'm against Sega having charged so much just for the addition of a stupid Mouse mode, when realistically it should've been an Upgrade, not a whole replacement.
..
...
...... but having bought it, I got a very similar survey about the game, sent by Nintendo, asking my views, which I thought odd since it's a Sega game.
Honestly, I think this is just a standard survey. Wouldn't look too much into it.

Gorgeous!
I don't wear crocs, but my "don't tell the internet how old I am" year old mother does. Maybe I should get her some!!

@StuTwo Oh, it's been more than a decade.
The thing is, we keep seeing these little snippets of possibilities. Like raytracing on iPhone, and when GameCenter happened, and Apple Arcade, and more.
And you watch them, and you're like "Go on.. This time!!"
But they never do.
And it's awfully disappointing, because if they did...

Dear Apple.
You can afford to hire every single one of those laid off, and make a console using an AppleTV coupled with a controller.

Do that.
Replace Microsoft.

Next gen can be Apple vs Steam vs Nintendo.

Possibility : Nintendo has a giant list of all possible, every rom ever, complete lists of all games on their version of the app, for testing purposes, ensuring box art is collated, and other such developmental purposes.

I'm kinda miffed that I seemingly can't play 100cc or above. My motion sickness tends to kick in after about 5 minutes of playing anything above 50cc. It doesn't "feel" that much faster, but apparently my brain-goo has a differing opinion on the matter.

I've been Free-Roaming quite a lot, though. It's nice to adventure and enjoy the world.

My heart sinks when I read this sort of stuff, and the past few days has been nothing short of horrific, with SO many more than just Romero's team getting disbanded. It's shocking what Microsoft have done to the industry as a whole.
D'you remember when Microsoft announced the Xbox, all those years ago, and there was a general consensus of "Microsoft doing games...? Nah!!"
But they proved us wrong, and Xbox 1 (the first one 1, not the second one 1) and 360 really were cracking systems with some amazing games.

I don't want to blame the entire shambles on their console naming scheme, but .. .. I also kinda do!

Labo 2, Labo-babies

Is this possibly a "playing handheld whilst plugged in using a high powered charger" issue, because even my iPad gets super toasty like that. If you can use a lower than usual charger, like your old Switch 1 adapter, maybe see how it does with that. The charge might not hold for "hours and hours" but should at least cope with the amount of time you're likely to play for.

Can we have Richard Jacques back, please?

... and get out of the car, Sonic!!!

Gosh, so many letters on that. Each one being modelled at the perfect ratio and scale to look extreme and amazing from every angle.
Such high quality workmanship.
And the weight.. Wow. Look at the weight of it.
So glorious.
What do we reckon, £8000?

@KoopaTheGamer SmileBASIC FTW!!!

@The_Nintend_Pedant Yeah, you should only have to "tutorial" once. If you find your game needs more than one tutorial.. .. Maybe fix your game?

I do love me some PuyoPuyoTetris. As does my mother. I've bought PS3, PS4, Switch and Steam editions of both PuyoTetris 1 and 2 ..
I don't think I can honestly bring myself to pay for it again.
... And adding a Mouse mode certainly isn't going to make me do so.

I've been sucked back into the worlds of No Man's Sky, and can't escape. Send help.

Good lord, that's a tongue twister..

I do worry that this particular app is going to grow at an alarming rate. Hopefully they see the sense to allow individual game download/deletion, or it's going to get rather silly.

@The_Nintend_Pedant .. so, the two player mode from the Amiga, where you could hook two mouses up to play..
.. if only we had a modern day system that supported two mouses..

Worms World Party on GBA... Is that the one where, upon first play, and my worm fell through the floor.. so I complained on their forum, only to have someone ask me if I knew how hard it was to write games, (.. me?!!) and I replied with "It shouldn't be hard to not make characters fall through the floor, especially when one of the goals of the game is to try to not land in the water."
... And then got banned from their forum..

... is it that one?

WAN Show's gonna be fun, this week, huh...?

On the one hand, evil, rawr, etc.
But on the other hand. .. Have you guys ever read the blurb at the bottom of any of their emails? I kinda think this might just be their sense of humour being taken out of context.
Any "you're holding it wrong" comments were probably accompanied by "but we'll give you a refund if it matters that much" kind of snarky comment. I'd imagine..
I dunno. Having read a number of the email blurbs, I can imagine that being the case.

@The_Nintend_Pedant You know what truly baffles me about MKW..? Why is there not a "draw a track, from an overhead view, using the Mouse function" thing...?

@The_Nintend_Pedant Always! But expect "one guy pumping out weekly games on his own" levels of quality I try to keep things fun to play.. That's the best I can do. ( https://AGameAWeek.com if that isn't too spammy for the comments)
