@larryisanassman I agree that there are other issues. To be honest, I misunderstood your comment-I thought you were suggesting it should only be $10 (wrong currency, I know) because it’s only something you’d play for a week or a month. Now I see that you were talking about an actual short-term rental system, which I am in no way opposed to.

Having said that, I do think there’s a place for these cloud versions. If games are truly un-portable to Switch (i.e. not Kingdom Hearts), I think it’s a great option for Switch-only owners. Next gen systems can only be played at home/on a TV anyway, so no big loss there losing portability on Switch. And honestly, I’d rather buy like ten cloud games on a console I already own than spend that money on a console without even getting a game with it. Still, sure, better pricing would be welcome.

@larryisanassman I don’t really understand your point. It doesn’t go away in a few weeks after you beat it, you still have access until the server does down, which should be years from now (and you’ll have six months notice before it shuts down). The non-cloud version is no more replayable than the cloud version for the foreseeable future. I mean, I get that if you want to play it like 20 years from now that may be a problem, but is that really enough to make it worth 1/5 the price?

I beat Dread this afternoon (A++++++), so back to Great Ace Attorney 2! Two cases to go…

@Mando44646 Mobile ports aren’t always bad. Horizon Chase Turbo, for example. Man, that game rules.

Somebody, please put @AnnoyingFrenzy in charge over at Capcom ASAP.

@Rainz Tetris Effect is $10 off right now.

Started Dread last night. Really solid so far!

I decided to take a break from Great Ace Attorney 2 after beating case 3 the other night. I didn’t want to have to stop mid-case when Metroid came out. So I finally got around to poking around in New Pokémon Snap while I waited. Pretty fun! I think it’ll be my “wind down” game at the end of intense gaming sessions or something to pick up when I only have ten minutes for a while. I could see switching over to that after getting through some EMMI sections or bosses in Dread, this game kinda stresses me out (in a good way), ha.

I actually think cloud gaming is kinda cool. At least, it could be if used correctly. For example, as PS5 and Series X/S get more and more games made for that hardware, it’d be cool to see Switch get them through the cloud. I’d much rather buy like 10 cloud games than have to spend that money on a console just to be able to buy those games. Even better, what if they could have actual ports of games that are a bit watered down (think Doom, for example) but give us the option to pay a premium (maybe an extra $10) to have access to a cloud version when we are at home and connected to the internet. Great graphics and performance (if you have good internet) at home, and a slightly worse version on the go. I don’t know, I see potential, and I’d support it under the right circumstances.

But I don’t think I can support cloud games that are the result of laziness/a total lack of effort. I see no reason why KH 1 and 2 couldn’t have been ported. This is the scary side of cloud gaming.

Oh nice, first game was cool. I’m down!

Man, I wish that Shadowgate/Deja Vu/Uninvited collection that is on XB/PS/Steam would come to Switch.

Still working my way through Great Ace Attorney 2 (on case 3 now), and man, I just got Cruis’n Blast the other day…it’s so good!

Ace Attorney and Star Wars and I’ll be happy.

Game looks cool (I think, anyway-they didn’t show much), but man, that is one of the most irritating trailers I’ve ever seen. Talking over music that is way too loud is…ugh.

Still working on Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. Pretty sure I’m almost done with case 2 in the second game…

Picked up New Pokémon Snap the other day. I’d love to check it out, but I don’t want to take my focus away from GAA.

Man, that Cruisin Blast game looks great. I really want to get it/check it out. But now is not the time…

If it was anything but Star Wars, I’d have no interest. But man, I’ll be there day one!

Having said that, wasn’t this delayed until 2022?

@Silly_G Why no interest in the films? They’re great. And the original is a classic!

@twztid13 6 Rocky movies, with the most recent one coming out in 2006. Also, Rocky is a huge part of the Creed films, with Creed 2 being closely tied to Rocky 4. And like, who doesn’t know Rocky?

I’m all for porting games to Switch, but in this particular case…eh. The controls/gamepad were what made it fun and interesting.

Well, I mean, I like the Rocky/Creed movies, and this seems decent enough. Maybe during Target’s next B2G1 sale or something.

Not sure! I wrapped up the first Great Ace Attorney game last night (absolutely loved it), and I want to take a little break before starting the second one. My plan was to play Axiom Verge 2 between the two, but I started it last night, and ehhh…I don’t know. I kinda don’t want to continue. I’ll probably just do stuff like Picross and Mario Golf for a bit. Oh! Maybe I’ll go back to Skyward Sword.

@SeaFishelle I’d honestly buy any SW game, ha. But yeah, those would be cool. I’ve never played the classic Battlefronts! Shadows of the Empire is the one I REALLY want…

Already bought all of the games from LRG, so no interest in these. If they want to release any more old Star Wars games on Switch, though, yeah-I’ll buy ‘em.

@NightBeast I think it’s the best since ESB

@Warioware I’ve heard the rumors, and I don’t buy them at all. They’re not going to upset fans of the new stuff (as loud as the haters are, I’m certain that more people enjoy it), confuse more casual fans, upset the filmmakers/scare potential future filmmakers out of working for them in the future by making it clear that anything that people get angry about will be made “unofficial”, destroy the entire canon (which consists of way more than just a few movies), start over without Carrie Fisher, acknowledge that they screwed up (which I’d argue they didn’t anyway)…it just doesn’t make sense. Much more likely that they’ll just try to improve the ST by fleshing out the stories/characters Clone Wars-style. Which, between Mandalorian and Bad Batch, it seems like they’re doing, by the way. Anyway, there really just isn’t any reason to do it. At worst, the movies are unnecessary additions to the saga that have their ups and downs (personally, I loved them, but it’s cool if others aren’t as enthusiastic about them as I am). I get why people who LOVED the old EU were let down by them, but outside of that, anybody who says they’re so offensive that they need to be wiped from existence is kidding themselves. They’re fine, just move on and hope you like the next thing better.

That last part’s not really directed at you specifically, by the way.

@Warioware There is a 0% chance the ST will be decanonized. Also, it shouldn’t be. I, for one, can’t wait to play through those movies in this game.

Great Ace Attorney! Gonna knock out Axiom Verge 2 when I’m done before starting GAA2. I doubt I’ll get there this weekend-not quite done with case 4 yet…but we’ll see.

A lot of people seem to be mocking the game, but I actually think it sounds kinda awesome. I’d pick it up on sale, maybe.

Very excited to finally be playing Great Ace Attorney!

Love the game, but I hate this. Glad I’m happy with my digital version!

“High random encounter rate” is all I had to see to know that this game isn’t for me. Nothing frustrates me more. Too bad, looks pretty cool other than that. Hope people who can deal with the encounters enjoy it!

@dBackLash I absolutely loved this game, and it really stuck with me after I beat it, but I agree. I didn’t really think it was too disturbing or horrifying or anything. Just a neat, unpredictable game.

Probably would have felt differently if I knew absolutely nothing going in (not even the warning), but even then, I don’t think it would have been THAT disturbing.

@AstroTheGamosian My pro controller drifts and my joycons don’t, so I don’t know…

Jools should offer the Chicken Wiggle backers a code for this instead.

@Snatcher Yeah. I’ve thought about stuff like this before. It’s easy to say “eh, I already own it, that stinks, I would have gotten this instead”, but if you really think about it, it’s just $5 you spent months ago. Don’t let it stop you from getting what you want!

@Snatcher If you want it that bad I don’t see why you’d let the $5 or so you spent on it already stop you.

I know people like to collect or whatever, and that’s fine…but outside of that, I’m really struggling to understand what the point of an expensive physical copy of Among Us is. It’s a ridiculously cheap game that’ll be unplayable once the servers go down and it takes up like no memory.

@Kevember I understand the point you are trying to make, and I love Mario Galaxy, but man, Pet Sounds is so great. It really should be rated higher, ha.

Great Ace Attorney is the most excited I’ve been for a game in a VERY long time.

I’ll get Skyward Sword too. Less exciting because I’ve played it, but man, I’m down for revisiting on Switch!

Nothing else for me on this list, but that’s ok.

@Chowdaire I also rate Mania below Forces. People have different opinions and that’s ok!

My only real issue with the cloud games on Switch is that none of them appeal to me.

I’m totally fine with leaks. The announcements aren’t exciting, actually playing the games is. I don’t really care how the news that games are coming gets to me.

Having said that, usually there’s no way of knowing which leaks are real and which ones are bogus. The fake news gets in the way and just makes me skeptical of anything I read.

@OldManHermit I stuck around a lot longer than you...considered myself a huge fan up until the White album. They had a few very boring albums in a row starting with that one. But you know what? Their latest one, Van Weezer, kinda rocks! My favorite from them in a long time. Might want to check it out! It’s totally made me interested in Weezer again. Bring on this premiere!

@OorWullie Enjoy Phoenix Wright! That series is so special.

If you like the investigation parts, absolutely check out Famicom Detective Club someday. If you don’t, stay far away, ha.

Wrapping up The Girl Who Stands Behind (already beat Missing Heir a couple weeks ago), and then probably starting Crash Bandicoot 4.

@Darkknight5 People who already owned the game still have it and can still play it, though. I mean, look, I understand that there are issues with digital games, but this isn’t really proof that people who bought the game should have gone physical or anything like that. Bogus for people who wanted to buy it digitally and can’t now, though (though I suspect it’ll come back at some point).

I actually noticed this yesterday. I figured it had been gone for a while. Had I realized it was a new development I could have told people and been famous instead of IvyBoi!

This is disappointing, but not too surprising. And it’s totally fine. Do whatever you have to do, Mr. Happ! I’m sure this game’ll be great.

If more Star Wars games are coming to Switch, I’ll buy ‘em. That’s more because I’m a Star Wars collector, though. I’m fine with digital games in general.

@Snatcher Yeah, fair enough, the price is pretty bogus. Still, though...I don’t know, it’s just fast travel.

Don’t people get mad when amiibos don’t do anything useful? To me, this is the perfect thing for an amiibo to do. Something kinda cool and helpful without being even remotely necessary.

I mean, look, I get it...$60 for a Wii game and an additional $25 to get something they could have included for free. But also, eh. Is it that big a deal to play without it?
