Re: Mailbox: Game-Key Cards, Slacker Sakurai, Shapes & Beats - Nintendo Life Letters

The game key card/digital game card thing is much more nefarious than people might think, imo. Digital games now have the same icon above them as the physical cart in the Switch, so it's more convenient to look in the slot than to go through your library if you don't remember what cart is in. They also play an animation that shows a digital cart going into the Switch when you first purchase it. They're trying to blur the line between digital and physical, and doing a bad job at it too.

Re: We Might Be Getting An Update About Sakurai's New Kirby Game Soon

@Itsashame I get a new AAA game like once or twice a year, and the rest are indies and a whole lot of sixth gen and prior. I always say "I didn't ask for path tracing" you know? I get so much more excited for a classic fps or when I remember something I always wanted to try in my backlog. That's definitely part of getting old though, I'm sure.

I went with Heretic + Hexen. I'm playing them both on the Switch and the Retroid. Heretic on the Retroid w a fog randomizer, neural upscale, HQOST, and Brutal RPG mods. It's hard to play it elsewhere when I can play it like that, but it's also a lot of fun to see the level differences.

I remember this, Kirby, and Link's Awakening making me feel like the Gameboy could legit go head to toe w SNES with some of its library. It felt like a legit Metroid game, which I did not expect at all. It was obtuse and hard to navigate at first, but I feel like it all comes together.
