Thanks, but I do not buy remakes or remasters anymore. I will get the PlayStation 1 version instead.

They are both good, but I chose the golden Japanese cover.

On my way to meet the Garif tribe, in Final Fantasy XII.

Happy gaming, everyone!

@Arawn93
Thanks, always nice to get some extra info!

Basically just leftovers, which I would not even want to play on PlayStation 5. Still not regretting, that I put the NS 2 back in its packaging. Turok convinces me, that the soul is in the old games.

Maybe they will break even someday. If they make a new game, I hope the fans will love it.

The slump is definitely not helping. But I do not believe, that it is the driving factor of investors losing trust in Nintendo. I can only assume though.

Omniarch TV made a good video about it. Nintendo's revenue is 16% below expectations and the playerbase declined by a million in the last year. I think it was constantly on the rise, in the last years. If you want to see the video, it is called "Uh...Nintendo?". Really enjoyable.

Now I want to play the original even more.

Pretty bad, if the 100 million $ development costs for Prime 4 are true. I expect at least a few Failguard moments, from now on, to be honest. And I wonder when Nintendo will reach Star Trek Starfleet Academy tier quality.

The last Hyrule Warriors was not for me and the new one looks like more of the same, and wants me to play as a princess with tears on her face, hehe, no thanks.

What is Nintendo's biggest software flop so far?

It is interesting, that the fiscal year starts in April. The internet tells me, that there was a time, when the year started in April (Janus calendar).

Cool that they mention the sell-through numbers. I still feel bad for contributing to the sales, though.

Edit: Even put my Switch 2 back in the packaging, a few days ago. Oh, those are not even real sell-through numbers, just internal estimates. I will just go with the sell-in numbers then.

Never played it, but Sonic R (Sega Saturn) looks like a soulful game.

After watching a little bit of gameplay, I decided that I will someday get the PlayStation 1 version instead. Not in the mood for remakes anymore.

This weekend I will try to get the insignia of a princess, in Final Fantasy XII.

Happy gaming, everyone!

Really surprised to see the SteamDeck above the Switch 2.

Much less than expected, considering that this is the first chance for Nintendo only players to play it, and that the original PlayStation 4 version sold 700k in its first week. I will not fall again for another VII Remake game.

I will not buy any new games, for the foreseeable future, because I am not the target audience anymore. Just focusing on old games now.

As expected. Time to move on.

Cool! I am very interested in these games! Adding Goof Troop makes this must have even better.

Hehe , you will not fool me, Nintendo!

The last one sold three million in just four days. They must have been so happy.

Final Fantasy VII: Rehab

@Anti-Matter
Thank you! Yeah, the summons can look funny. It is definitely more of a Vagrant Story/ Final Fantasy Tactics kind of game. But the quality is still there and as you said, the music is perfect.

I hope you will also have a good time, when you replay it!

@Anti-Matter
I did not know about this change. Thank you, for telling me. In general I would say, that I always prefer the original versions.

Wow, did Final Fantasy XII, for the PlayStation 2 age well. It is so much fun to be in this world, because the vibes are so good. I really hope, that one day Square Enix will make games again, with such a good taste.

Happy gaming, everyone!

Big thank you, for your hard work , Tanabe-san! Yoshi's Island and Mario Kart 8 are two of my absolute favourites. Especially Yoshi's Island. It was such a great Christmas present, together with the Super Nintendo. You made me very happy, thanks!

I am waiting for new games, too. In the meantime, I will just play old games (not newer than GameCube, PlayStation 2).

This is not for me. I do not buy DLC anymore. And I will not buy Switch 2 Editions, of games I already own.

So it really is true, the Switch 1 sold 1,5 million units, during its first December and the Switch 2 sold around 1 million. Thanks for giving the numbers.

Looking forward to Yoshi.

And what a great end result it became in the end. Especially the later game Gold is one of my absolute favourites. This was the open world experience for me. Being able to call people and be called by people and the real-time mechanic was really impressive.

It would be great if they had this much time for the new Pokémon games. I hope the new games will be awesome.

I will laugh in disbelief, if Nintendo manages to fail in Japan.

Yep, never give up. Thanks for your motivational words, Misses Pritchard, and I hope you can help to make Nintendo great again!

I enjoyed Prime Remastered. It was a dark and atmospheric experience. I agree, that the feeling of being alone is an important part. When I watched one of the last Prime 4 trailers and the whole trailer basically felt like people are just talking and making drama, this was the moment when I decided, that it is not for me.

Easily Europe/ Japan. Nice and clean. Odin Sphere put me in the mood to play Final Fantasy XII, because of the beautiful music. But finishing Final Fantasy Tactics Advance might be a good idea, too.

I have been playing the magical Odin Sphere for the PlayStation 2, the last few days. Continued with an older save file, and now I am playing as Velvette. She has a good moveset.

Happy gaming, everyone!

Even in Japan the sales were down a little bit, during the last nine weeks of the year, according to The Game Bussiness. But only by 5,5 % or something like that. 1,39 million (Switch 1) compared to 1,32 million (Switch2).

Not really surprising that the Switch 2 is doing great overall in Japan, because of its price and games more suited to the Japanese taste.

She is a good girl, thank you for sharing! Great collection and everything is in great condition. The last quote is awesome, especially, if you think about retro gaming and replaying your favourites over and over again.

I think I will also concentrate more on old games again.

Respect is everything. Mister Martinet did a great job and I really enjoyed Mister Afghani's work.

I really need to buy an NES and get DuckTales. Watching it on YouTube feels nice.

The Switch 2 cured me from company idolatry. Thanks, Nintendo, even though this was not your plan. To me they are like every other company now. I expect more middling and divisive stuff from them in the future.

I have only four Switch 2 games now and I do not love even one of them. I think I had more Switch 1 games after just one month after its release.

@Olrun
Get well soon! I hope you will still have a great time, playing Cat Quest.

Yesterday, I saved two very important characters in Fantasian: Neo Dimension. Not sure what else awaits me, this weekend, aside from collecting a little bit of Mechteria. Still having a good time and the music is good, too. Definitely sounds like Uematsu-san.

Happy gaming, everyone!

Level-5 is always in high spirits, I like that.

Maybe this is the year, when I will finally try an Inazuma Eleven game. The new Layton game is definitely on my list.

Heard great things about this one. Would love to play it someday.

If history changes the line "the fastest selling console", to "the most readily available console, during its launch period", that would be brutal.

I am just waiting for the games now. Yoshi is the next, I think.

SwitchUp already sold me on this lovely game. Glad to hear that you enjoyed it, too. I will put this on my list and play it, when I am in the mood for something relaxed and atmospheric.

Still have to beat Fantasian first, before I try the demo. But I was already sold on the game anyway, so I see this demo, as an early start. I will get the PlayStation 5 version.

Well done! Now I have to decide, whether I should play this before or after Dragon Quest VII Reimagined.

@Pillowpants
So far I have played the remakes of I-III, VIII, and XI. My personal opinion is, that every game I played is a good starting point to get into the series. My favourites are VIII and XI.

I hope you will like Dragon Quest VII Reimagined!
