@JoeyTS @JokerCK I point to another example. Journey is considered one of the greatest indie games ever, yet it's a Sony property. A big company backing a game does not disqualify it from being indie.

@nessisonett A tool who has no say in what games land on the voting ballot. https://thegameawards.com/faq "Game Awards producer Geoff Keighley is not a member of the jury and does not vote on the nominees or winners. Similarly, The Game Awards Advisory Board has no involvement in the awards process and learns of the results at the same time as the general public."

@JoeyTS Just the same, I don't agree with you. Move along now.

Minecraft is still technically an indie game, even though Microsoft bought the IP for billions years ago.

There are five volumes in this collection. Feels like ININ are stretching the games thin. Mo collections, mo money.

If I didn't already own a backup pair of split pad pro I would have these. But...alas.

Physical copy of Super Mario RPG for me.

I've got $4 burning a hole in my Murican eShop wallet, ready to go.

I've made my contribution to Sony to help them "win" 2023. My PS5 Slim should be in my hands by the weekend.

I'm hopeful this is more Treasures rather than Infinity Strash.

Having never played the original release, this will be a treat.

@Ryu_Niiyama Fair enough. Still, it probably would be best if I avoided the frustration.

@mlt Playable, sure. But to have a boss stop progression of the story if the fight goes too long? I'd qualify that as busted.

So basically the physical release is sort of busted?

Not bad. Outer Wilds physical release in 2024 was the tops for me.

Anna Purna-published. I assume iam8bit will do something fancy for the physical relase?

@anoyonmus I haven't a clue.

@HeftyLaces Hush now. Furukawa already said in an investor Q&A that there would be "no new hardware" this fiscal year, which ends March 31st.

@Friendly About seven months from now. Maybe.

Just waiting for my physical copy to arrive from Red Art Games.

Kinda sorta interested in Super Crazy Rhythm Castle for the Castlevania music alone, but I'm not sure. I'm definitely in for Air Twister though.

One of my most anticipated games. Oh well, take the time to make it right.

You say "Embracer Group" and I immediately picture the swirling waters of my toilet. Round and round, down and down.

"I could show you such wonders." -Pinhead Games like Bayonetta, Shin Megami Tensei V, and Hotline Miami should be on the list.

Just put in an order for a physical copy through Fangamer.

A good way to start the last SRG bundle for the year. Most likely will re-up my Club membership.

Hopefully we'll get an official announcement of the NG Switch from Nintendo early next year. Although backwards compatibility will make-or-break my interest in the platform.

Luigi's Mansion is the best Ghostbusters game.

Interested in Dave the Diver and Gungrave but...nothing for me this week.

It begins and ends with joy-con drift. I went through five pairs of joy-con in less than two years. Yet the Hori Split Pad Pro I bought in 2020...are still going. So yeah, joy-con, trash-tier product.

It's a shame Koei Tecmo doesn't do sports games anymore. Dynasty Warriors and Atelier are their bread and butter these days. Although Rise of Ronin is looking like it'll be their spin on Assassin's Creed.

Shoutout to Carrion. So few games have you playing the villain these days.

@AlanaHagues The USK-rated version doesn't have the download banner on the front box art but does mention downloads for multiple languages.

@AlanaHagues Seems the physical release for this won't be worth owning. An image showing a mandatory download has appeared. https://www.nintendolife.com/forums/nintendo-switch/star_ocean_the_second_r#reply-18

@gcunit No problem, my friend.

Just waiting for my physical copy from Pix'N Love.

@Ryu_Niiyama I know. I was just being facetious.

No Twin Snakes? Hard pass.

I'm hoping Volume 2 of the MGS collection will have Peace Walker complete on cartridge. Best game in the series, imo. Monster Hunter-flavored Metal Gear.

Buying a copy on general principle in support of Yu Suzuki. Never been a huge fan of the Space Harrier, but I do enjoy rail shooters. Would like to see Rez Infinite on Switch...someday.

Hori Split Pad Pro, because unlike the joy-con they're well built.

@Woderwick Indeed.

"Let the port go or there'll be...trouble."

@BiscuitCrumbsInMyBed Not too much lower. Nintendo are releasing an Animal Crossing-flavored Switch Lite next month in the hope to reach the 18m Switches sold in 2023 goal post for investors.

Nintendo will probably copy/paste the theme of the OG Switch announcement trailer. Millennials in a posh part of some downtown setting. Drinking wine at a rooftop party while playing a little "Tendo" on the side.

Kind of makes me glad I didn't FOMO-purchase a physical copy from the THQ Store. I've grown tired of publishers post-patching physical releases.

I'll answer with a "definite maybe". I would suffer the loss my Switch physical collection. But if I could play certain games portably, I don't feel I could say "no". I'm one of the dozens of people who loved their PSPgo.

I have each of these from when LRG released them individually. It's unfortunate the KotOR games are download-only, but they would've put the file size close to 40GB anyhow and nobody uses 64GB cartridges, not even Nintendo themselves.

If it isn't like Happy Tree Friends...I'm out.

I'm very tempted to bundle I & II together in an import order, but I think my money would be better spent elsewhere.

I recommend Donut County. If anyone is in the mood for an inverse take on Katamari Damacy-like puzzle solving?

@gcunit Nope, still no physical for either Limbo or Inside. 505 Games released a double pack for Xbox One and PS4, but did not obtain the rights for a Switch release. I assume developer Playdead weren't happy with the revenue split with that release and perhaps that's why they haven't inked a deal for a Switch double pack? Not sure.
