KIRO

I fondly remember Klonoa, a good time for sure!

@Spider-Kev right?! It just seems like an obvious move....

Does anyone else think the "click" audio ident for switch should be two clicks instead?

A hard no. And shame on Nintendo, pure greed.

Am I being a dope here but can this be used as a normal calendar? That could be fun/handy...

@BranJ0 Agree. The energy did seem off. And speaking as a demonstrable fan boy, I thought the graphics looked pretty tired across the board. Not bad! But yeah, creaking somewhat. That said, day one non-the-less.

It's going to be called, "Pikmin Planet." You heard here first folks

GTA for Switch 2 launch confirmed!

Ah...."I AM TUROK!" a classic.

Minifig looks good but the tree looks meh. More plastic tat.

I worked at the pr agency who supported the launch of SMB in London. We of course handed out branded bananas to gamers . I also got a few SMB plush toys. They had to scrap/return thousands of them because they weren't up to EU fire code...I have 3, I just don't set them on fire. Great game.

What a well written, important piece of gaming journalism - bravo!

@FragRed I recall! They seemed to be quality - nice chromo font if I remember rightly

No one ever mentions Turrican 2 sniff

@Anti-Matter Love it! It reminds of the old video game magazines, they'd often have a reader's art section

Didn't expect to see this! Loved the film, and the game looks to fit into the overall vibe of the thing. Look forward to the review!

@Woderwick Indeed it is!

Having asymmetrical eyes must be a b1tch when buying sunglasses....

A new chip!? Shut the front door!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I’ll raise a glass to you all

Music will
Be lovely too

As an oldster, I find this sort of thing mind-blowing....although I hope that image ins't actual size?

Just get all the old Ultimate games own the Switch and I'll be happy

Hugely off topic - but I’d love to see a feature in the Japanese Xbox fans. Are the ex pats ? What are they like? It’s borderline niche over there but I bet there is some interesting stories …

Sad to hear people are losing their livelihoods, but given their resumes, I'm sure they will land somewhere - there's always a need for talent.

Selfishly, I'm rather more bothered about Bandcamp which I love and the company recently bought. Do. Not. Mess. With. Bandcamp.

Not generally my genre but I love the look and the atmosphere it imparts. That, and the the tins of good reviews and comments are making it very tempting….I’ll wait on physical though.

I haven’t played it but look forward to doing so. I’m going to hang about for the physical release though.

One question, how much text is there and how easy is it to read? I find Witcher played portable difficult to enjoy as I like to read about all the items and lore etc, but can’t as it is so titchy, even with reading specs.

An hour? Come on…

That said, I like the cozy and relaxed genre at times, and I appreciate games I can complete without too much sweat, but this seems way too short for 13 bucks…

PS - I better hear some bocks, bukirks and clucks in this game!

I'm to hens like otter's are to cats, so this is day one!

BTW, It's a hen, a chicken is what you eat. Like cow/beef.

Their shares are still not doing well but at least they are keeping a lid on salaries - comparatively speaking that is.

@Stamina_Wheel fine icon you have there!

I’m playing both blind and slow, but this looks great!

Anyone else feeling a bit ocd over the time stool this book is balanced on? It’s called a coffee table book people! The clue is in the title

Happy to see all this Pikmin love. Although I'm just up to my neck in Zelda, so they may have to wait a while....and I should really finish Advance Wars....

The music is completely wrong for this. I like the genre personally, but come on...

...any case, loved the old 2d games, this looks great. I'm down.

@Jayenkai Interesting comment. I too was BASIC and a little C++ so wondered if this would click.

I have to take another run at getting through Gris, it was gorgeous!

@HammerGalladeBro there is a marketing called “false scarcity” it may be that? Gets people involved and engaged fast so they can brag to their share holders , plan a financial future model and generally make people think it’s special as it’s limited time only! Maybe.

Love articles like this - made me smile

I’m playing it a different way to BotW - taking it slow , follow my nose …

I can’t smurfing believe that no Smurf has smurfed a comment like this.

@Wheatly “Just make 10 1 louder” hope you get the ref

100 gives more nuance for sure. I liked the old system of rating each part, graphics, sound, playability etc….

I popped into Target at about 9am yesterday. Apparently there had been a bit of line. I was offered the collectors version at $130 or the regular release, which I opted for. It came with a surprise “adventure pack” a Fanny/bum bag which I’ll never use but is a nice keepsake.

I’m already stuck and swearing at it

Mmm. I was waiting for a “pay off.” Like was he grieving and the game brought him closer to his departed son? Something….this was nothing really.

mmm. Might give this a go. I'm ok with short games, given I complete maybe 10% of my game collection at best

@larryisaman sort of with you on that. I like the exploring and can't always be bothered with the crafting. This said, I'll give it a go, maybe they've nailed it in a way that is more engaging for me...we'll soon find out!

@FishyS good post. I’d add that the weekend I saw it, there wasn’t much else on! That didn’t matter to me, I love a bit of Mario, but to the average parent and kid, it could have become the default weekend thing to see. Regarding other comments about “the critics” and trust. I find that I will listen to one or two that I’ve come to appreciate have similar tastes to me, which is useful for, say, album reviews.

Walked into my local Target and grabbed one. They hadn’t put them out so a fella went into the back to get it. Now I have it and can’t play until this evening - gah!

@makk_zucc me too. I even have the original games and a machine to play them on and I'm STILL dropping cash like a fool . I'm just looking forward to the new look and maybe some online capers.

Not going to watch it but can’t wait

I pretty much play anything with a hen in it.
