It'll be interesting to see which will be numbered releases and which will be retail distribution. Aside from Slam City (bleh), I'm down for owning a copy of almost everything presented. Turbo Overkill especially.
The original release on the NES was the first rpg I ever played. I enjoy going back to DQ1 every five years or so. I'm eager for this release, as well as the DQ VII remake later this year.
I'm a Square-Enix mark and have bought most (if not all) of their Switch physical releases. Skipped The Adventures of Dai and Dragon Quest X Offline though.
@Ooccoo_Jr GKC are a weird middle ground that pleases only publishers and retailers. Physical collectors don't desire them and they are less convenient than purchasing a digital copy.
Game-key cards are soggy tacos. They do not appeal to folks who collect physical video games. And they're less convenient than just buying a digital copy. They have a small niche, folks who enjoy borrowing games to friends, or folks who want a small monetary return when they trade / sell that game-key card.
Enthusiasm is at a solid 5/10. Unless there's going to be a legendary remaster such as Skies of Arcadia or Chrono Trigger announced for Switch 1 tomorrow...I kind of don't care.
Considering it's Forever Entertainment, this is likely a very cost-efficient way to improve the quality of their releases. Never been a fan, but at the same time they're my fellow Polish folk, so I can't disregard them outright.
Really do love the first game, having played through it half a dozen times now. Too bad the sequel is such a soggy taco. Looking forward to The Beast to see if Techland can return to form.
Probably need to promote their upcoming Hunter x Hunter: Nen Impact fighting game as well. Maybe a Limited Run Games release for that recent River City & Technos Arcade Classics collection? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFM5tUKEyJM
Yeah, Taki Udon posted his disappointment in the screen as well. Worse ghosting than the Switch 1 LCD screen. Basically as cheap as Nintendo could've gone it seems. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQG7R5mcHPE
@Rob3008 True, but I was referring to the usefulness of leveling lives within the game itself. You can complete the game with life skills below level twenty. You could level those skills to max, but why bother?

Re: Fantasy Roguelike 'Absolum' Isn't Out Yet, But It's Already Getting An Animated Series
Preordered a copy a couple months back after Maximillian Dood did a sponsored video.
Re: Japanese Charts: Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Remain Steady Amidst Trails In The Sky Surge
Nice to see a remake of the first Trails game get some love. Looking forward to chapters two and three over the next few years.
Re: Genre-Bending 'Baroque YA' Collection Headed To Switch In Japan
Quite exciting. The first game is very popular among YT retrospective creators and I've never played them.
Re: Ravenswatch, The Excellent Follow-Up To Curse Of The Dead Gods, Scores A Shapely Free Update
Bought a copy at launch. Just...haven't gotten around to it yet.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct September Predictions - What Do You Hope To See?
Monster Hunter 4 HD port for Switch would be nice.
Re: Star Ocean: First Departure R Limited Run Physical Switch Release Announced
Here's hoping this is a sign of more S-E digital-only games getting physical releases. Collection of Saga, Actraiser Renaissance, Paranormasight, etc.
Re: Strong Final Fantasy Tactics Sales May Lead To More Remasters And Sequels
I'm a Square-Enix mark and have bought most (if not all) of their Switch physical releases. Skipped The Adventures of Dai and Dragon Quest X Offline though.
Re: No Man's Sky 'Voyagers' Update Lets You Design And Build Your Own Spaceship
@AppleBlade That's true. NMS is a genuine space exploration, survival, sandbox. Meanwhile, Starfield (loading) is (loading) still loading, lol.
Re: No Man's Sky 'Voyagers' Update Lets You Design And Build Your Own Spaceship
But I recently dropped 30+ million units on an exotic guppy.
Anywho. NMS, the gift that keeps on giving.
Re: Atari Acquires IP Rights To Five Ubisoft Games, Including 2011's 'Child Of Eden'
Child of Eden isn't as great as Rez, but I would still welcome a current-gen port.
Re: Nintendo Sends Out Second Game-Key Card & Physical Game Survey
@Ooccoo_Jr GKC are a weird middle ground that pleases only publishers and retailers. Physical collectors don't desire them and they are less convenient than purchasing a digital copy.
Re: Nintendo Sends Out Second Game-Key Card & Physical Game Survey
Game-key card = no purchase. I would rather wait until the digital copy is on deep discount, 75% or better.
Re: Surprise! Bloober Team Is Bringing Sci-Fi Scares To Switch 2 With 'Cronos: The New Dawn'
Will either watch a let's play or wait for it to be "free" on PS+.
Their Silent Hill 2 remake was well done.
Re: Fantasy Life i Scores More Fresh Features In Next Month's Update, Here's What's Included
A good game that could've been great if the content wasn't bloated.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Partner Direct Predictions - What Do You Expect To See?
Farming, visual novels, and metroidvanias.
Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase Announced For Tomorrow, 31st July 2025
@Willo567
Yes, game borrowing, trading and selling is a niche. If it wasn't, retailers like Gamestop and GAME would be fairing better.

Well done, Atari. Fine choice. Good dev, good games.
Re: NIS America: Trails Beyond The Horizon Switch 2 Game-Key Card Release Is "Most Beneficial Option" For Fans
Que up Peter Quill's "cranking up the middle finger" bit from Guardians of the Galaxy. Thanks for nothing, NISA.

TL;DR. And we're only up to what, chapter four of Deltarune. Toby Fox wants to go up to chapter eight, correct?
Re: Nightdive Studios & Atari Announce Physical Edition of Remastered Turok Trilogy Bundle
@PJOReilly
I assume $60. But $50 would be nicer, considering all three games are under 4GB combined.

Re: Techland Skips Dying Light 'Retouched' Upgrade For Switch, Says There Are No Plans For A Switch 2 Version
Really do love the first game, having played through it half a dozen times now. Too bad the sequel is such a soggy taco. Looking forward to The Beast to see if Techland can return to form.

Re: Capcom Spotlight Announced For Next Week, Here's A Teaser Trailer
Monster Hunter Wilds title update #2.
Lets go!
Re: Fantasy Life i Free DLC Will Steal More Time In Huge Roguelike Open World Mode
Interesting. But I've had my fill. The battle with the backlog never ends.
Re: Mini Review: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - A Fantastic Little Upgrade
I'd say it's an 8/10. It's a whole bunch of mini-game busywork that is largely meaningless in the endgame. Fun, yes. But meaningless.
Re: Reaction: Donkey Kong Bananza Has Instantly Become My Most Anticipated Game Of 2025
