For a second I thought this was Get It Together, and I was excited to have Penny's theme on the app. Not this time... 😢

I really miss when Nintendo would use hand-drawn artwork to promote their games. I get that hand-drawn illustrations were probably used in the first place because character models were so low poly, and didn't make for good promotional art images, but it just feels like we lost something over the years.

I don't care if the most we get is a re-release on Nintendo Classics, I barely ever made a dent in this game because back then I was way too scared, and even though I still shy away from horror games, I do want to finish this one someday.

I'm still waiting for them to sell the ocarina on the Nintendo store.

I'll definitely pick this up at some point, if not Day 1, but releasing on the same day as Ocarina is wild

I was hoping for graphical enhancements... You know, like what Age of Calamity and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 are getting!

Thank goodness for this update. I wanted to enjoy the Divine Beast sections, but the game slows down to a crawl for them. I was thinking of revisiting this game before diving into Age of Imprisonment, and I guess I have a pretty good excuse to do so now, or I will in February anyway.
I'm kind of disappointed this wasn't a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade for a small fee, but I get it. This isn't just a Nintendo game, it's a Koei-Tecmo game as well. Hopefully the discount will be decent, but I'll probably end up trading in my physical copy of the original and buy it for the Switch 2.
EDIT: NEVER FREAKING MIND! I'm not swapping a Game Card for a Game Key Card! I've been waiting, hoping that Nintendo would give Age of Calamity a Switch 2 upgrade, but I didn't know I was wishing on a monkey's paw; it's a separate version, not a NS2E, AND it's a Game Key Card! Next you're going to tell me the discount is like 10 bucks off! What the hell, Nintendo!?
EDIT 2: I forgot that it's Koei-Tecmo that probably pushed for a "Definitive Edition" instead of a NS2E and Game Key Card. Edit 3 incoming when I'm right about the discount being $10.

What, no Plus content?

If that's for the physical edition, then that's pretty good, because it might also mean you can pre-order it through Amazon for $10 less.

I like both of these, and it was really hard for me to pick one over the other, but I feel like the European cover looks more distinct. Something about the North American cover looks like it could have been from a bunch of different games.

It took a little while but I'm now playing Metal Gear Solid. I'm so glad that I played the MSX games first, because when I tried playing this before after playing Snake Eater, it felt very different from what I was used to, but now that I've played the games that it is a sequel to, I'm actually slipping into the gameplay a lot more easily

As much as I dislike Limited Run Games, this has probably been a good time for them to sell PS5 games.

Nintendo kind of brought back Trace Memory and Advance Wars, refused to elaborate, and left.
...Would it be silly to hope they do the same thing with Golden Sun?

I knew they were going to do a Zelda Direct because we still need a trailer for the movie and gameplay for the Ocarina of Time remake, but I figured they were going to start with the Nintendo Direct, maybe show a little bit of footage for Ocarina of Time, and then announce a Zelda Direct for a month later.
I'm glad this isn't how they're doing things, and we're actually getting the Zelda Direct first, because I'm more interested in Nintendo's big holiday game and the movie that we only officially know two cast members and haven't seen any footage of at all. Once I've seen footage for both of those things, then Nintendo can show me how they're going to destroy my wallet for the rest of the year 😂

Hopefully Super Paper Mario, Sticker Star, and Color Splash can have their music added in the not so distant future!

...Although I kind of wish they alternated between releasing a soundtrack for one of the top three Paper Mario games and then one of the black sheep entries...

I was really happy to buy it! Everything was available on the cartridge, and I was able to try the PS5 version back when I was subscribed to PS Plus and import my save to see if the driving was any better with analog triggers (not really, for those curious). It's a solid release, and I really should finish it at some point, and maybe watch Edgerunners too.

Oddly enough, I'm more excited to play Ghost Babel than MGS4, but that's partially because I've been playing and loving the MSX games in Vol. 1. My current plan is after I play Sons of Liberty, I'm going to play MGS Delta on the PS5, and then I'll start Vol. 2. I also picked up MGS5: The Definitive Experience on PS4, because I've been buying these collections and Delta physically on PS5, but I'm not sure if there will be a Vol. 3 that includes MGS5, much less whether it will release before Sony's dumbsday on physical media. In any case, if we do get a third volume, I doubt it would be the last since they still haven't released the Acid or Rising games, and I strongly doubt those would be bundled with Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain in a single volume, but I would love to be proven wrong.

I've avoided the Resident Evil series my whole life. I respect the crap out of it, I can see why Capcom keeps bringing it back more frequently than other series like Mega Man or Viewtiful Joe (nudge nudge), but horror games are very much not my thing. I can play games like Doki Doki Literature Club and Corpse Party, but the moment I try playing something like Amnesia: The Dark Descent, my body physically rejects everything that is happening on the screen before I can even see the monster.

Streamers, get ready to mute the audio from the direct!

@HammerGalladeBro From what I remember (and granted, it's been awhile since I played), you generally just have to play through the beginning of the game up until you're free to explore Kamorocho. So not too long.

Oh, I'm totally sure Capcom desperately wants to revisit the X series, and that's why they keep putting the Blue Bomber on hiatus for 8 years before bringing back classic Mega Man again...
Actions speak louder than words, Crapcom. Either put up or shut up.

I didn't realize that I already pre-ordered Vol. 2 of the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection until I saw the charge on my account, but I figured since I'm getting it, maybe I should finally play Vol. 1 first. I guess I kept it waiting, huh?
I already beat Metal Gear, and I just beat the Running Man in Metal Gear 2.
But on the side, me and 2 of my brothers are playing Tales of Berseria, by which I mean to say my brothers are playing as the two first available characters while I sit back and watch until one of my two chosen characters becomes playable.

@HammerGalladeBro Alternatively, you could just pick up Yakuza 0 whenever it goes on sale, since OutRun can be played in the arcade in that game, and you get a damn fine game as well!

Why is storage so ridiculously expensive? I still haven't bought an SSD for my PS5—not that I download many games anymore on that system, but I can't install games from a new disc without having to delete another game's data. Either way, I already have a 512 GB SD card for my Switch 2, so unless that thing starts getting full, this gets a hard pass from me.

@HammerGalladeBro Approved!

This looks terrible. Why would you want a solid color for your steelbook art?

At the very least I'll get some of the Mario Kart sets to go along with the Team Sonic Racing sets I have on my shelf.

I'm glad to have the full Mario Kart World soundtrack available now, and it's definitely one of the biggest soundtracks on the app.
But I really hope they'll add Xenoblade music at some point in the near future. I was hoping the soundtrack would release at the same time the Switch 2 Editions did, but that isn't happening.

I really hope the Monster Hunter crossover content is still intact in Peace Walker...

@Chimichanga NS/2 weren't invented 3-4 console generations ago.

Yo can we get both Psychonauts games on NS2???
I own both on PC and PS5, but I'd buy both again, cos neither game should have gone this long without being on a single Nintendo system.

Mix of Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor's Gambit and FFXIV. I tried playing some GATEs at the Manderville Gold Saucer before work, but just got Air Force One three times in a row, which is my least favorite GATE. I'm more of a Leap of Faith guy myself.

@Stegiand oh good, I'll pick it up when it's on sale though, because apparently it goes as low as $9, which is much better than the current $30 price tag it has on the eShop.

To the people who have this Trilogy, is it worth getting?

Really wish Nintendo didn't discontinue this one. It was probably the most natural fit for a mobile game next to Fire Emblem.

@Rahmus I bought it at full price, and I had a good time with it, but I would only recommend people buy this game at a discount.

Having been playing A Realm Reborn on PS5 with my brothers, it takes a while before the main scenario quests become engaging, but once they get good, they get REALLY good! Also, the events have been very fun. I enjoyed climbing to the top of the boat off the coast of Costa del Sol for the Moonfire Festival, even if I didn't get anything for all of that janky platforming. That being said, the janky platforming has its own crappy charm to it. Getting to the top feels especially satisfying. The journey is the destination after all!

That's really cool that they did an extended trailer again. Thinking on it now, they did that with KH3 with the first Frozen trailer.

AAI2: Prosecutor's Gambit. I'm currently on the second chapter, but man, that first chapter kind of ticked me off a bit.
In Phoenix Wright: Justice for All, Edgeworth instantly recognizes a calling card with a pink conch shell, but for some reason doesn't recognize the same logo on a pink suit? Like are we being so for real right now?

So nice of them to announce this 2 weeks before the deadline...

Thank goodness this game is launching before Sony's stupid deadline for games to receive a physical release. The game looks like it's running smooth as butter, and I have to imagine the footage was captured from either a PS5 or PC. Either way, I already have the rest of the series on PS5, so that's the platform I'll be buying this on; gotta get what physical games I can before I stop buying PlayStation games altogether.

Well this bites. I bought SoulSilver earlier this year and while I wasn't sure if I would even bother transferring my Pokémon to Home, which would require me to buy an offhand copy of Gen V, it feels like that option is being ripped away from me.

My gripe with the soundtrack is that Proto Piranha is only 15 seconds long, and fades out before it even approaches its proper looping point. You can't even loop it either.
EDIT: Never mind, this shows up as Mid-Boss later in the soundtrack, and is the full song.

@imopthefloors 3D printers don't just magically create statues of comparable quality to what F4F offers. I don't doubt you could recreate any of their statues, but you need the craftsmanship to print, assemble, paint, and install the lighting for them. Such projects can't be much cheaper than what F4F charges, especially if you don't already have a 3D printer. And if something goes awry, congrats, you got a bunch of wasted materials, and all the time it took to make them went down the crapper.

I wonder if they'll ever do a statue of the game's namesake and final boss, Metroid Prime. Wouldn't matter to me if it was its giant crab or core form... or even Dark Samus. I would be down to pre-order any of them... Although, thinking on it now, Dark Samus would probably be the same size and material as the three Samus statues, while the other forms would probably be as expensive as Meta Ridley...
Anyway, I'll definitely pre-order this one! It may not be as squishy as the amiibo, but it looks sick as hell!

Now this is a game that can benefit from mouse controls. I'm really glad that Nintendo didn't force the mouse control scheme with Star Fox, given the series' more recent history with basing a whole game's control scheme around a gimmick that no one asked for, but I think the gimmick works in this game's favor! After all, I'm pretty sure there's a lot of other strategy games on PC that do use a mouse for this exact type of gameplay, so it seems less forced here.

I just cleared floor 100 of the Bottomless Buffet in Splatoon Raiders, and decided to go back to the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection and start Prosecutor's Gambit. After this game, I'll finally start the Apollo Justice collection... eventually. I usually have to play something else in between these types of games, which is why I've been taking my time going through the series outside of the original trilogy.

I can't wait to see how he looks as the Demon King!

If only they would patch the Spirhalite Gem drop rate... It feels way too stingy.
