KIRO

@samuelvictor this is a good idea, also quite funny. I wonder if there is a pin anti-competitor clause in the contract that would block this?

@MarioBrickLayer good to hear ! I’ll go and see it!

Just read my first review of the film, ouch! Not to yank anyone’s yum and it was in the guardian, so a bit of snobbery there….

NL has been a daily visit for years now - love it ! However, I hate subscriptions in general and the ads served here are game related so I don’t kind them ..:

I would kick in some cash though - as I do with a news site I like I give them a one off payment to support them , also the same with a local indie radio station. I’m happy to kick in 10 or so bucks but not regularly as my finances change every month . Anyway. Keep going !

I can happily manage to ignore Ubisoft but this is a shame. I used to look forward to e3 but with so many of the big players skipping it, feels like a dead duck . Yes we will have direct stuff but I enjoyed the spectacle and corporate chest beating it was fun to root for “your” team and you knew that there would be some big announcements …. Oh well….

Wait? Mario smells of cola? Who knew?!

This game just keeps on giving. Can’t wait to get playing but need to wait until Saturday

@Horace well put. And also love that icon

@Scooby-Doo yes all of this. And an HDMI.

Great story! I did the same trip to Chiang Mai decades ago with a GBA. The two senior train staff came and joined us for an all night Mario Kart session. Total blast. The Lite is almost perfect. An OLED screen and a mini HDMI would make it perfect

@KorGonia Good list! Love folding, waterproofing and the solar ideas. Dislike cameras (parent who is sick of them here).

@Anguspuss 1000% yes. OLED + HDMI. I'll sign your petition

PS - just give me the Switch Lite Pro - I'll buy it day one. The Big Old is too big, and it clacks and creaks like an old man walking up stairs.

A Switch Lite Pro to me would be OLED screen, and HDMI. Done!

Share up by 0.81% today and down 19.01% in total for the year so far and 5.15% over the last 5 years. Still, as a fairly clueless investor in general, I like to have some "skin in the game" of Nintendo, it's sort of fun owning a bit (tiny tiny bit). I have faith in the company's longevity so we shall see where this little nut is in 10 years time. I can be fairly confident there will be some amazing games in that time

I'll be getting this tonight despite not really managing to get through the game the first time round. I seem to struggle with Metroid games difficulty which says more about me than Metroid I suspect. I found Dread too anxious, the discovery element is what I like.

I'll give it another whirl.

Off topic - Timesplitters 2 I remember really enjoying maybe we'll see that again...

@CornflakeCookie get off my (gigantic open world) lawn!

Same as the original Star Wars poster - google it!

@MetalKingShield a gauntlet would be very sweet indeed! On topic, I’ll get this, always enjoyed a decent old school shooter….

Yeah I noticed it’s all “news” and “opinion” far too few “reviews” . Still…. I have an absolutely humongous back log to get through which I’m happy to chip away at over 2023. I just hope that whatever comes next will be backwards compatible .

I love a bit of tetris. I do just one one mode though: full portrait screen. Uncoil the joy comes to play it. I dislike the tiny tetris play area that’s given in most (all?) tetris games….

Fair play to the man! Good luck.

Nice headline !

I’m holding out for a Nosey Smurf stealth game

When I was 22 this was all fields.

@Anachronism ha ha, yup, I’m planning on breathing in

@FishyS me too, as I noted elsewhere the text is far too small for me on oled portable, so my only hope is the big screen..
.

@sketchturner 100%. Also I’d totally forgotten how much I loved timesplityers so thanks for the memory joy

Re this game - yeah - I like the look of it and look forward to reviews .

@SonOfDracula well, at least I’ve learned something new today thanks for that.

I doubt anyone is reading this far down the comments but…..there is an issue in this game, for me at least. I fired it up in my OLED in handheld and….wow that text is tiny! It’s basically unreadable and I’m wearing my reading glasses. Kind of spoils it for me as I wanted to relax and get into the lore and descriptions. So this May by docked only for me….I had the same issue with The Witcher.

This passed me by at the time as I was glued to DKR. I loved the flying in that game so this should tickle my fancy. Good review. I’ll pick this up.

@nofriendo Good to know! Thanks. I don't mind a bit of FPS stuff but life is kicking my butt enough, I need to chillllllll.......

I’ve had my eye on this since launch, hoping it would be a modern “Elite”. I’m so in the mood for this type of game right now, settle into the autumn and winter with an epic exploration title.

I’d love to see the battle for Arakis on the switch e shop

yeah, nice. Something a bit different. Reminds me of that old man wandering about game (forget the name but it was a pleasant distraction for a while).

I down with this, looks fun! I find myself popping into Touryst to play their in game game of Break Out, it's a fab version.

@Cherkov To err is to be human. Still, imagine if you went to get a haircut, and you got back home and the back hadn't been done. Now you have an unfinished hair cut. You've paid for it. Then a little later in the afternoon, the hair dresser rocks up and cuts the back. They may not have done a good job, but who cares, they can come back later and sort it out shrug

@Crockin yeah yeah, I know, I know....still....

@Bret ha. No, old games were full of them. All I'm saying is, make the game, test it, have it done, sell it. I don't expect to buy a cake only to have the baker turning up later in the day to put the cherry on the top...

@Bret if it has glitches, it’s not a finished game is it? Finish it, test it, sell it. Granted I’m an old curmudgeon

Why not finish the game then launch it?

@JaxonH Ha - oldest comment chat revival ever? Yeah 200 is a little punchy...but then again, so close to completion! Good luck.

90 legends for those in the know…at the tag time and place I guess, but brilliantly inventive and atmospheric, could have been interesting and achingly cool too…what’s next, Eluvium for Animal Crossing?

Moo looks great! Just went and checked it out, thanks.

Diddy Kong racing was my first game on that system and I loved it! I liked the elephant and the accent was some I then you would hear in England , that Anglo-Indian accent, I always liked it. That said, I believe it got changed for a reissue ? A claim it was offensive as I recall. I wonder if anyone had more detail here, I’d particularly like to hear the opinions of any Indian readers, as I’m white it’s not for me to say it’s offensive or not. For me it was an accent I heard growing up and had good associations with and it was refreshing to hear it in a video game.

@CJD87 silicone valley! I’d forgotten that one, loved it! Weird sheep stuff if I recall…..and yes indeed ti DKR!

Can someone, anyone tell me how I can play Dune 2? That’s all I want please and thank you

Chicken Journey for me. Looks like. Game I may be able to actually beat for once lol.

Bag O’ *****? As Paul Calf used to say …

Geordies love slipheed.

Good piece. I’ve often thought about “control” and how games give us that, In a world that often doesn’t. I found Minecraft very helpful when I went through a period of panic attacks,T he simple act of control and play being a salve. Agree with others that balance is key, to just stick your head in the digital sand is not a long term solution, that’s where good friends, self love and therapy comes in.

I’ve just been in another thread going on about how I’m so non poised about online games , but this I like, or at least I like the premise.
