This idea is bad enough to be believable.

To paraphrase a famous quote, the Guillemot family should get comfortable with the idea of not owning Ubisoft. 💁🏽‍♀️

Parodius is a GLARING omission. I won't buy this compilation without it ☹️

I'm still stunned that TWO PlayStation franchises are coming to Switch 🤯

Not sure why it's taking so long, but better late than never ❤️

@N00BiSH Fair point.

But this concept already exists.
It's called the entire internet.

I do not understand.

Other than being able to "lend" games to NSO family, the Switch already has these features for digital games. 🤔

I really like the concept of this "the whole city is a battleground" idea. This game has so much potential.

A shame that the trailer already shows a bunch of graphical jank and lack of polish already, then.

Every sports games should do this, but Western AAAs would never ☹️

I love Limited Run Games and I'm excited to buy this one from them ❤️

it looks very good on a technical level. but aesthetically, it looks worse than the existing standard graphics.
high-def ray tracing and bloom lighting isn't what I associate with "pixel and voxel inspired Minecraft."
really hope this upgrade is optional.

@Unmaskedepic there sure isn't, I enjoy them

I hope the Switch 2 gets its own adaptive controller, much like Xbox Series and PS5.
Video games should be able to be enjoyed by everyone!

Nintendo is painfully behind the curve on accessibility, but hopefully their participation with this initiative is a sign of growth.

"Sorry about Super Soccer, but here's 4 strategy games. Let's call it even."
-Nintendo, probably

like said above me, I will also believe it when I see it.
I'll be content to ride out the rest of the game's lifespan, and enjoy it while I can.

a Lego pikachu would pair nice with the Lego Game Boy

@Jeronan You're right and you should say it.
Corporate worship will lead to a death-knell of creative game development. From the looks of it, that'll be sooner than later.

This is wise reasoning, and it is also why in recent years I've stuck to about 80% - 90% indie games only.

No market manipulation, no corporate standardization. Just pure creativity.

The Pokemon Company are still reprehensibly scummy for filing creature-capture patents AFTER the financial success of Palworld.

Market manipulation and heavy-handed monopolization attempts does not make Pokemon Company the hero in this story.

I know releasing Switch versions helps indies out a lot, but I feel like every developer from indie to AAA should just wait for Switch 2 instead.

still waiting for the release of Tiny Honk Professional Skateboarder 1-4 Street Skating Simulator: Summertime Edition on the eShop.

I can't believe Italy has invaded France like this

Wishing for a re-release (let alone a remake) is just a pipe dream, huh? 🥲

@Sylamp
Yes it was. In North America and PAL.

@Sylamp SF Alpha 3 Upper was included in PS2's Street Fighter Alpha Anthology.

I won't be cajoled into being upset about extra pixels here and additional polygons there. It's a non-issue.

The only "authentic experience" that matters is the gameplay.
If the gameplay is inact, then the games themselves are intact. Simple as.

The new developers made Skullgirls better than Mike Zaimont ever did.
Zaimont is a monster who physically abused his workers, and deserves to be blacklisted from the industry. But since his chapter is thankfully over...
I wish the good people at Autumn Games all the best, and hope they can pull through ❤️

on one hand, the 2-minute missions formula is the back bone of the Pro Skater series, so I get it. especially since the 4th game isn't the most fondly remembered.
so while this is a drastic change, I'm not fully convinced it's a bad one 🤔

@KimBread you are in for a treat, I hope you enjoy!

two stone cold classics, total bangers.
Donkey Kong 94 is obviously the star of the show, being one of the best Mario games available on any system.
but Mario's Picross is no slouch either, offering a no-frills Picross experience that is very hard to put down!

Cool so I'll stick to playing it via Game Pass on my Series X, then.
I really hope this trend of incomplete "physical" releases doesn't carry over to Switch 2 😬

@RupeeClock @montrayjak
I'm glad it wasn't just me 😅 when I was a kid, I thought they were being clever with the name or something.

Having the option would be a pro-consumer win for everyone involved.
Which means Nintendo would never 🥲

Amazing "What We Do In the Shadows" reference in that subheader.

@SabreLevant good choice! for GB I keep things simple, with an Everdrive and a modded GBA. lets me play NES and Master System, too.

@Purgatorium I truly appreciate you saying this. I spend $20 USD a year to play Mario Kart, and Quake, and Smash Bros online with friends.
If I wanna play Game Boy ROMs, I do it for cheaper.

@SabreLevant Oh it does, I agree with you.
As a small silver lining, the basic NSO is still an absolute steal compared to the competition. Still doesn't make it great, but at least it's not bank breaking.

Friendly reminder that Super NES (and other emulated) games are NOT Nintendo's main selling point of Nintendo Switch Online and never were.

The point of Nintendo Switch Online (Expansion Pass not included) is the ability to play online.

@rvcolem1 It's basically a battle stadium that lets you use your Pokemon from other Pokemon games.

This is a good way to ensure a more level playing field at the start, to help new players get into it.
I'm okay with it. My level 100 mythicals can wait their turn.

@PikminMarioKirby I cannot recommend retro emulation enough.

Having two starters from the same generation is a weird choice.
But, I'm okay with it because they're both cuties.

Late 2025 means we won't be seeing Gen 10 for a while.
Good.
After the swing-and-a-miss of Scarlet/Violet, Gen 10 should have as much development time as humanly possible.

This is gonna result in the shutdown of Pokémon Showdown, isn't it? 🙁

@KingMike Should movies and music and other forms of media be sold for "a lower price" because they're decades old too?
Yeah.

I have the physical edition pre-ordered, and I'm extremely very excited 🥰

I wonder which version of the game will be on cartridge 🤔
