Re: The Game Awards GOTY For 2025 Is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Welp, at least Genshin didn't win GOTY yet again. :/

MKW I'm unsure of if it deserves the win over Sonic. They're relatively close, but I lack experience, so just an imo.

Silksong deserved something.

I've yet to play E33. Hoping this can help change the games market for the better.

Didn't know there were softlocks.

Anyway, I really appreciate this game.

I sorta feel Broship s a different enough style to be its own thing, and that both 3ds games went the collectible/perfectionist route, so this is still in the top three for me.
The darker tone was impressive. The whole Yoob chapter, coupled with an article gave me an impression on Yoshis that I won't soon forget.

Hmm. Interesting. So I wasn't here from near the start after all?

I thought the origin point was "Virtual Console Reviews" from back in Wii era.
I would use it to help determine which VC games to get, and see what was coming up.

Re: Talking Point: Smashing Switch 2 Numbers Prove Nintendo's Strategy Is Super Effective

I'm kinda still surprised but not completely.

They actually made a whole thing of this, in an uno reverse of Wii U. Nintendo is a brand, and switch is a brand in particular that has potentially multiple units per household. Goes without saying that not everyone will know the controversy, and consoles and games will be snapped up.

But by paying for success with the trust of others, in a sense, how will the momentum fare I wonder?
