Man, such a tease.

Can't seem to preorder the physical copy yet, but I plan to get it ASAP!

Was never a Donkey Kong fan, Mario was my platformer of choice. But this thing looks exquisitely delightful! Top marks. Absolutely going to nab this, and the amiibo.

At this point? My wife and I could not be more pumped for this release.

@Darthroseman Right? Absolutely adorable. Love it.

@MJL Roughly the same for me. I'm not gonna turn it into a chore, but I will eventually three star them all!

Maybe all the anti-fans will stop calling this a failed launch now. Who am I kidding, they'll always invent new rationales.

Would the hall effect sticks everyone keeps talking about even work with the magnetic attachment of the joycons?

@OtterXPT Counting myself many blessed, because I couldn't justify the extra cost, but my wife got it for me!

Just a matter of waiting for it and the Switch 2 to arrive now. Because BestBuy didn't ship them until today.

It all seemed so bizarrely self-destructive.

@Gatorclops It's been under works. But Bethesda normally doesn't talk about its games until VERY close to launch. They made an exception with the next Elder Scrolls some years ago, but seem to have regretted it ever since, as nobody bothered to listen to their warnings that was really far off and they had multiple game projects to complete before it.

It was simply too hard for me. I just could not hack it and gave up early in.

@Mallow Nintendo "fans" seem to live for the chance to be outraged by everything the company does. There is no winning.

The Switch 2 looks like a really well built machine, intended to keep up with the times much better than the original did. And that costs money, shocking as it is to some.

It didn't impact "North America's" pre-order date, just the US. Nintendo's confirmed Canada is still on track for the original plan. The US is not all of North America, despite what Americans might think.

Everything is gonna be a mess for the foreseeable future.

Oh that's the good stuff! Love it. Felt fair enough to me that the upgrades wouldn't be free, after all, takes developer time to make them. But I already have the Online+ subscription for my wife and I, so this is just added value.

No fan of IGN, but this whole debate confused me since the originals came out. It was clear this generation of Pokemon had a lot more water areas to traverse, with a lot more HM juggling necessary just to get around them. And if you don't like that, it's clearly gonna be an issue. And considering "all water levels suck" is a long running sentiment in the game community...

I had it on WiiU, and got almost nowhere with it. Way too big and confusing for my old brain.

@Fizza Really not hard to understand why they want to give gamers time to get an impression of the game, before immediately dismissing it because of who the development team is. (Or isn't rather, because if it's not a core Nintendo team the reaction will be to not even give it a chance.)

I am so down for this. Love the vibe they're going for, the lead characters seem incredibly endearing and aesthetically on point for this kind of experience.

Some people apparently need to hear this: all games have bugs. If you've ever programmed ANYTHING, you know it's unavoidable. Even perfectly crafted code will have issues for no conceivable reason that is fixed by arbitrary changes.

The fact I've never even heard of this until now, despite everyone I know playing it, suggests it's quite rare and requires some specific circumstances.

There's a global chip shortage going on. Even car makers are struggling to get them, leaving many car factories idling. It's far more likely that's the culprit here than any screwup on Nintendo's end.

@SortingHat Of course it's someone with a Hairy Porper name that's behaving like this.

Probably not even gonna get the Skyward Sword remake, because while I love the aesthetic and story, the gameplay was too much of an endless dungeon slog, but...

I NEED THAT AMIIBO

Skyward Sword Zelda is the best Zelda

Yeah that sounds like exactly what I'd expect from the creators of Sonic.

Had to stop reading at the negativity on Ghirahim. He's my boy, I love him. And he's prefect.

Oh man, this looks and sounds adorable. Gonna have to get this for my wife and I.

Fast RMX, hands down.

Oh yes. Absolutely irate about this thing that I've never noticed or seen in one level. Heads should roll. I will dedicate my life to making Nintendo pay for this. /sarcasm

HOOK IT TO MY VEINS!

I couldn't get over the art style of Astral Chain. Their giant foreheads just threw me.

@status-204 I never said anything about grinding.

@status-204 Yeah that's not what every single review I read said.

Hard pass for me then. Long, tedious combat in RPGs is such a big turn off. Same reason I took a pass on the latest Paper Mario.

When reviewers complain about a game being too easy, I know it must be good for me.

You know gaming culture is messed up when this needs to be said at all.

I'm approaching 40 myself, and while once I mastered all the Megaman's and Megaman X's, and 100%ed all the games I played, these days I just want something to unwind with at the end of a trying day.

I had no idea Night In The Woods fell into this category... might try it out now. I could use a break from buying games and immediately giving up on them because they're too punishing to be enjoyable.

Was stoked to get it, but the reviews stating the difficulty spikes were rough mean it's a no-go for me. I play games to relax, life is a nightmare enough on its own.

Was hyped for a new Paper Mario, but... sorry, excessive difficulty in a colourful, fun game I play to relax is a deal breaker.

I really wanted to get this, because I've been craving a new Starfox style experience. But then I remembered I've never enjoyed a single Ubisoft game. Even for a moment.

My wife bought this, and we played it together. Surprisingly good, even though the Lusst'ghaa name kinda led me to believe it'd be lame.

Big Bowz energy.

Replaying Skyrim on my fancy mobile Switch has been a blast. The perfect reason to go back and revisit Tamriel. Hope to see lots more from 'em!

No interest in wired controllers anymore. Would want a wireless Gamecube style controller, but not one that mimics the design of the Wavebird. The Wavebird battery pack meant my fingers were too cramped.

The demo for this game kicked my butt. Are there any options for an easier experience in the final product? I have no desire to slog through a RPG anymore.

The first three comments are a great indication of what a mess this system is. Too convoluted by about a mile.

Just seems like another case similar to that of Silicon Knights; Nintendo saw the writing on the wall and moved on.

The only time I've heard a positive mention of Rare in years is a re-release of their old classic titles. I mean, that about sums it all up.

The people making business decisions are at least adept enough to not make massive multi-million dollar deals based upon nostalgia.

I hope it works out and this thing gets made, and is awesome. Eternal Darkness was a masterwork.

With that said, for the same reasons I never went into the kickstarter: I don't believe they'll pull it off.

@DiscoGentleman He doesn't even work for Capcom anymore, and has no say over where Resident Evil goes. But with Capcom's new policy of only focussing on million-seller titles I wouldn't expect to see much of anything from them on WiiU ever again other than VC titles.

Also, always interesting to hear the thoughts of such a titan in the game industry who's had so much influence over the years. I read the whole interview and enjoyed his thoughts on the matter.

Just looks like the social media employee was running Tweetdeck (as they usually do) and had it set up for their corporate duties and their personal account, then accidentally posted under the corporate identity instead of their personal. Seen this a lot lately.

Most recently when CSIS accidentally trolled Amnesty International on their official twitter instead of whatever sockpuppet they meant to use.
