"Iconic gameplay" = click on what you want to die.

@Filthy I will be very happy to see that with my kids. I consider myself pretty lucky that kids are wearing Nintendo and Sega shirts these days. I never talked about like My Three Sons lore w my dad.

Maybe it will be tacky shonen weab trash???

Cool Borders. Like Canada.

Hollow Knight could look like OG Metroid and it would still be in my top ten games of all time. That it is gorgeous is a bonus. I probably spent around 300 hours in that world.
I hope this brings even more people to the trauma of Deepnest...

My seven year old is in a Turok phase rn and I couldn't be happier. Because Nightdive remade the first two games...
This is to Turok 1997 what Painkiller 2025 is to Painkiller 2004. Its a skin on Saber Interactive's horde shooter uber-game.

Yeah I dunno I guess they could announce something for the OG Switch.

@Strawblaze Huge fan of all those games. I agree they are more cohesive and ofc they are iconic. I disagree that this looks like an asset flip. The ui and music do help a lot though.

@EvilBear I didnt realize I had a line that turned me off to a game if it was too twee or cute or furry. Then Sonic and Co started speaking, and that did it. At least I didn't miss out on anything there...
Anyway! The Plucky Squire, Escape from Everafter, the baby characters in Mario Kart, etc etc. It crosses the same line as anachronistic characters in City of the Wolves or like SpongeBob in Sonic Crossworlds. I wouldn't say I "missed out," though. Lol. Too many great games out there as it is.

Picking this up after dinner and a movie tonight (wings, Send Help). Awesome night. Can't wait to chill in bed w a caffeinated beverage and play later. Maybe w gummies, maybe without. Guess it depends on how fast this game is.
SEGA are still the kings of arcade racers, for me, so devs can throw back to the 90s Blue Sky era all they want. More please!

@Pillowpants oh man. Thats really exciting. There's a whole lot of great games out there if you dig this one.

Oh, new motion controls. Phew. I thought it would be bad, but nvm.

I dont have a problem with it, but I don't think I have played one of these that felt great to play. Not for me.

@Johnny_Arthur I would say "play an indie wrestler or Fire Pro" or whatever, but I have gotten the impression that accurate intros and logos and brand BS are what WWE fans are more interested in.

Thats unfortunate.

@R_Ryder good riddance!

@nessisonett also, this feature has been in emulators for a long time now.

About 1000 percent better than the Nicktoons or Ren and Stimpy collections. Some legit classics in here.

@Waluigi451 Goof Troop is unironically rad af.

@Bobb It emulates well enough, or at least it did a few years back. I know it's not the popular option, but hey.

@LightSpirit I read "stupid orange thug" and mind went elsewhere.

That's unfortunate. Hopefully, they will include the option to hide some racers.

That is actually really helpful. Now I don't even need to consider getting their games.

I need to grab this game. Looks like a perfect game to have on my Switch during breaks.

Just picked up Ivalice Chronicles. FFT is one of my favorite games of all time. The judges in A2 were annoying. And they took out the ability to rotate maps, which is a feature of the first game that I love.
All that said, yeah the NA cover is pants.

Looks like a fake game you would see on SVU or something.

Yusssssssssss

Man, I tried with that first game. The breathless "uh, you know uh, I think those, uh, those guys? I uhhhhhh think those are uh, huh huh, the baddies..." dialog KILLED me.

I had fun with my friends when MW seventh gen came out. After it blew up, it all just got too toxic for me.
I tried BLOPS 2 when I got my WiiU, because so many people told me it had a great campaign and MP. It was...not for me. Walk forward, shoot everyone standing in a line. Walk forward. Cutscene. Walk forward. Cutscene. Shoot people standing in a row, at center screen. Walk forward. Cutscene.
Nope.

@Phelaidar woof. That's an opinion!

@Phelaidar Turok 3 is just a bad game. It was released when everyone was trying to make Half-life again. It fails on most every level.

My youngest adores the first two Turoks, and so do I. We play with cheats and wreck shop. Its a blast.

@Duncanballs yeah I haven't been annoyed by it, probably cause of my own bias. Im fine with that. I like me.

@Duncanballs for me, part of why I love the first Switch is real physical media. I like collecting that way. I think all this stuff (including having to install games) is awful. I just had to accept that I won't own a Switch 2 any time soon and will instead focus on the backlog/collecting.

@Justdave NEVER

@Randomarcadedude thats the point. They are obviously trying to groom people for all digital future. See also the animation that plays when you install a digital purchase now.

@Justdave Actually THIS is the future. No this. No this.
Anyway, while I agree that almost everything sucks more now, doesnt mean I have to accept when things get worse.

@premko1 this way you dont need to go "woosh woosh" when Darth Vader does a lightsaber. Luckily, my kids already have imaginations.

As the guy who has complained about MCU writing since 2013, I guess I have just gotten used to it being everywhere I look. I expect poor writing from video games, also.
I would have preferred an isolated adventure, for sure.

I love the game. I get the complaints, but it is working for me. I will check out the booklet.

@foundlace yup. And people cried about that as well.

I didnt even know what genre this game was. Seems nearly every shot I have seen of it is a cutscene. With the weab title, I figured it was a dating thing or visual novel.

@poyo_pie I was being a silly goose about no one saying that, because my original comment was updooted so much.

Its a great game that is 100 percent not for me. Love the art, love the idea, hate how it feels.

Day one!
-a very stupid person

@poyo_pie yeah you right. Probably why Im the only person that feels that way...

It's hilarious reading comments about how the open areas were "obvs inspired by BotW." It's literally just Hyrule Field, surrounded by elemental dungeons and all! It's the most OoT game released in ages, and the people pining away for that don't even see it.

@Phantomensch1987 I was going to do a "it's so bad" joke, but every Powerglove joke I came up with felt...reaching...
Sorrynotsorry

I mean why not? If its just more options, who cares?
My youngest needs help with Rayman etc every now and then, but he puts in a good effort before he asks.

@mlt oh, I like random encounters. So maybe this game is not for you, but it is for me.
