Gang, I get that this is a Nintendo site, but the comments are directed against Sony. It’s not about trying to make Microsoft look angelic, it’s about pointing out the hypocrisy of Sony for arguing against the ActiBlizz acquisition over the possibility some franchises would become exclusive.
Obviously they’re all corporations in late stage capitalism and therefore completely undeserving of defense by their customers, but Microsoft is simply pointing out that Sony wants to have its cake and eat it too.

Stray Gods, I had already planned on getting it Day 1 on Steam, I'd much rather have it on my Switch

@nimnio even stuff like Witcher? Since the TV show takes place before the game and references things not in the game, do you ignore it?

Harmony: Fall of Reverie. I'm also gonna keep a close eye on the Wholesome Direct on Saturday because there always ends up being a game "releasing today!"

@Beanbon I made the joke above, but the reason Windows 9 doesn't exist is because some old programs would fail a version check because it would read Windows 9 as Windows 95 or 98.

This is going to be tough: do I watch Wholesome Games or Wholesome Direct? I don't know why they're scheduled against each other!

They have to go with Mario Kart 10 instead of 9 because too many programs will incorrectly read it as Mario Kart 95

@nimnio there's actually a ton of lore, it's just not in the game space. There have been a ton of short stories and writeups over the last several years, and even Arcane was just filling out something that the framework already existed for.

FF on the NES. I think that was the actual first one, unlike the whole IV JP = II NA thing.

@fenlix "Stray"

Don't do that. Don't give me hope.

I'm praying for a Slay the Princess port to the Switch

@JONOFTHEJONS it's called Another Crab's Treasure

I get why Yoshi would be considered a big deal, but didn’t Peach & Mario walk by an island of Yoshis? Unless the next movie takes place 100% in Brooklyn as a result, it feels kinda unnecessary.

"So, are we getting another Symphony of the Night port, perhaps actually on Switch this time? Or a collection of the DS trilogy featuring Dawn of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin? Or perhaps even a new Castlevania game."

But no hot springs to clean them off in? I dunno, it's like they're not even trying.

Folks, they confirmed in their earnings report today that Zelda is still set for May 12th. They're not going to turn around and give a new date in the Direct.

I'm thinking the end segment will be Metroid Prime 4 trailer with a fall release date.

@MS7000 I'd play the hell out of a Banana Eating Simulator

As an FYI, Afterimage has a Demo on Steam this week. While I still would get it on the Switch if I picked it up, it'll give me a chance to try it out early.

Drainus and Pathless eventually, still too busy playing Engage and trying out the Theatrhythm Demo this weekend.

is this the same version that comes on the Atari 50th Anniversary Collection?

It's bad luck to be superstitious
