Luckly I grabbed it a couple weeks ago. Close one! Sad it's gone for now, though.

I mean, I think it's reasonable to let Retro off the hook on this one. Have you SEEN Prime 4? It looks INCREDIBLE!
...then again I'm not really a DK guy myself.

For the most part one could say it's a coincidence, but cmon, the rock field and the EASTERN PALACE are pretty damning pieces of evidence

Nintendo is like a grampa who has really good stories, and is really kind, but anyone who shares even a piece of one of his stories, even if it's severely edited, gets put on his hitlist.

Neva gonna give you up!
In all seriousness, my time playing Gris was... interesting. Honestly, the game felt tedious, and not in a "this was intentional" way like with, say, The Longing. Plus, while I enjoy a good story, Gris' didn't really click with me. Also, I've never watched a Studio Ghibli film, as for some reason I feel like I can't watch anime (probably just teenager jazz). However, when the game inevitably goes on sale, I'll probably still give it a go. For one thing, Gris DID look stunning, no matter what my bored-gourd mind said, and this game looks to be the same. Plus, while I'm more of a ferret person myself, Neva is quite adorable, and uses a design that has absolutely NEVER been done before. ...that was a joke I've seen a very similar design at least twice before. Still pretty cute, though.

Keep in mind, when they said "direct", they could have meant any kind of direct, including shudders a partner showcase. HOWEVER, if we do get a regular direct... honestly I don't care I just got Vampire Survivors I think I'm set for the rest of my life.

@Ironcore Oh boy, here we go again...
Anyways, I'm not getting the game, but only because I just beat the original (like when they announced the remake, it was my most recently beaten game), but I'm pretty sure the stunning visuals make up for any frame rate issues. Plus, I'm not sure the game needed much new content, so a QOL repaint might be exactly what the game needed.

Huzzah, I can now play Mario Land on something that isn't a calculator!

I keep my games in my underwear drawer. I'm not limited on space or anything, it just seems like the right place to put them.

Where's the "I don't have the game" option?

Balatro platformer?

This feeling... it can't be... I think a Nintendo product... is SUB-PAR?!?
But seriously, as far as I can tell, this is not worth it in the slightest. If every challenge is like, six seconds, what's the point? There might be more to it than that, but still, I'd only get it for a steep discount. Also, the trailer is hilariously underwhelming. It hypes things up considerably, and then just kills it all in less than a second.

@MirrorFate2 Actually, I'm pretty sure it wasn't, as I remember it had a trackball. Also, I have a copy of Monkey Ball 2, I just haven't tried it yet. Maybe I should...

I played a Monkey Ball game ONCE, and it was an arcade game in a Chuck E. Cheese's.

You know, I should have expected this.

Always Balatro.

CELESTE THEME PARK?!?
...I'll take my leave.
But seriously, I do like this concept of one dedicated plaza for all the multimedia-based attractions. You know, excluding the ones already in the park.

Remember when Iwata cut his salary when the Wii U underperformed? Those were the days...

The animation is... hypnotic? Probably won't buy, but I bet speedruns are pretty fun to watch.

I mean, the original was a WiiWare game, so we should've seen this coming...

Got Balatro today. I think I'm set till the summer.

Me: sees something free
Also me: I'lL tAkE yOuR eNtIrE sToCk!!!

No matter what you think about this game, can we all agree on one thing: this game is GORGEOUS.

Honestly, concept art and a jukebox are probably all the game needs to be worth it. Good thing too, since it doesn't look like we're getting much else.

That Minish Cap one actually sounds pretty interesting. Is there any footage I can watch?

Ok, but get this, what if they made a mode that was just golf?

How did I guess? Just from the title and tagline, I was like "I smell a six" and I was right!

@Haruki_NLI I mean, I'm fine with the occasional &, and at least the companies have companions, unlike me...

Lemme guess: everything is already sold out

I'm mainly excited for the cat-based games, but the personality test and Laser Eyes pique my interest.

You know, this would make a great personality test. I bet mental researchers could use it.

The TOTK ones are real knee-slappers! "Sign me up" might be the best pun I've ever seen.

I was actually considering replaying the first two games recently, and now I have a reason to!

Ok, MK8, this is beginning to go from "absurd" to "what the actual f***". HOW DO YOU KEEP DOING THIS?!?

There was this sliding tile game in the last indie direct. Hope we get more info on it!

Hah, this is happening during my math class. Just one hour earlier or later, and I could've caught at least some of it, but nope! Gonna have to watch it later. Least I can skip around to get to the stuff I like.

Looks like Sega is going through its angsty teenage phase. God help us all.

They really didn't call the Knuckles-themed Sandwich... a Knuckle Sandwich?

Did you not notice the date? If the movie is going to be live-action, I shudder to see how it looks if everything is just blocks.

This gives me an idea. Imagine, get this, if Nintendo took the best aspects of all the Mario RPGs, and made a brand-new series that everybody loved! It won't happen, but it's a fun idea regardless.

I think it's important to mention why the level was TASed. As far as I can tell, this is what happened:
some guy was making a TAS tool for Wii U, but gave up. Ahoyo's friend got the unfinished TAS, and after some tinkering got it to work. Ahoyo's hands became sprained from trying to clear Bombs 5, so he got the TAS from his friend and TASed two levels, both with good intent. First was Bombs 5, as he knew it was humanly possible but couldn't physically attempt it anymore, so he uploaded it and hoped someone would one day beat it for him. Trimming the Herbs was the second, and that one he made specifically to be TAS only. He entered it into his own contest, but not to win, only to get the clear video notoriety. He even asked the judges to disqualify it under the pretense of a 12-second time limit (the contest only allowed levels 10 seconds or less). He wanted people to examine the video, realize it was TASed, and then he'd reveal the new TAS tool to the world. Unfortunately, nobody got around to examining the video for 7 years, and when it became the last uncleared level, Ahoyo realized that it would be for the best to just come clean before things got any worse.

Um excuse me what?

First learned about these guys from a LPL video. Turns out a toy lock is as secure as a Masterlock.

2026? Really? Well, how can I complain? Least it exists...

Why not? Gives me something to do when I don't want to play the base game. When is that? ...uhh don't worry about it.

Ooooh I want it but I don't want to spend a ton of money on importing oooohhh...

I've been eyeing this game, and seeing how it got an 8/10, I'm gonna give it a shot!

I think the limit is once either the system or physical games for the system become EXTREMELY hard to find (cough cough, GAMECUBE) then emulation is ok. For example, the TTYD remake should not be avaliabe on a Switch emulator, but the original on a Gamecube emulator? Hell yeah, that game is impossible to come by (don't mind the fact I own a copy of the original I'm trying to make a point here)!

Might get Duck, Quack, Shoot! just for the stupid duck gun

Whelp, the bird's the word. It's a me, MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
