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.
@Tyranexx Heavily agreed. Especially when it's harmful to the budgets of early adopters.
Like, I lost $5 for getting Scarlet early, cause this bundle knocks stuff off the price, and the only time it was on sale to mitigate that....it only happened once?
@Tyranexx As far as I know, on top of the dlc being separately priced at more than if you got the bundle, it has gone on sale only a single time, for a small discount, shortly after release. Really stupid.
I just can't ever get pokemon gen 8 or 9 dlc on sale, or justify buying it when it seems from everything I see to be minimal additions, especially with multi waning.
@Ralek85 Hmm. Appreciated, but if that's all it is, I'll pass. The Arkham game predator missions kinda stressed me out in trying to get all objectives.
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.
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?
These are genuinely amazing! Granted, I came in a couple years late to the gaming fold, but, never actually got to send anything in...nor am I an artist.
I'm impressed anybody knew about FE Genealogy back then. The Chrono Trigger pieces are amazing, as per the game itself. The Mario and Yoshi art could have inspired stories of their own!
@LazyDaisy This is a massive agree. I like Smash, though the dlc has ironically taken some shine off it.. But Uprising was peak. And I find myself wondering if Sakurai did the OG Air Riders, cause if he didn't, that might explain it having not lived up to ppl's expectations.
On another note, I am glad this is a complete package. I'll not get it at launch though. Am curious where else Sakurai could go.

Re: The US Suffered Its Worst November Since 1995 In Terms Of Hardware Sales
Huh. Prices going higher at a time when ppl need 2-3 part time jobs just to pay bills?
Who coulda seen this coming?
Re: Rumour: A Game-Key Card Alternative? Nintendo May Have Smaller Switch 2 Carts In The Works
New options?
Good.
Some devs still won't bother, but at least it's something.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment's Next Patch Out This Week, Adds New Difficulty Mode
If this could recapture the joy of OG HW with more updates like these, that'd be great.
Re: 35 Upcoming Nintendo Switch 1 & 2 Games To Look Forward To In 2026
I would be so much more excited for this if there were more money, and if there weren't so many key card releases...

What's the full list?
Re: Review: Pokémon Legends: Z-A: Mega Dimension (Switch 2) - Repetition Takes The Shine Off
Tfw you sign up for DLC before knowing it's literal repetition.
That's...ultimately the worst thing about Legends ZA on the whole.
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.

Never knew the option existed.
As for politics...uhhh.... State of the world is hatred?

Re: Sega Will "Carefully Assess Appropriate Use Cases" When It Comes To "Leveraging AI"
@Pillowpants
This is closer to my stance.
Y'know google searches? Youtube searches? Amazon?
I'm pretty sure those use AI....
Re: Metacritic Shares Updated List Of "Every Metroid Game, Ranked"
So far, I'm still in linear status.
Enjoying it some, but clearly not designed for twin stick gameplay.
Dread below Zero Mission is a sin.

@Grim
I checked today, and they don't count.
Re: Feature: The Tightest, Briskest Mario & Luigi Game Turns 20 Today And Deserves More Love
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.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Was The Best-Selling Nintendo Game In October (US)
@Grim Do online battles count toward that 1000?

Re: 40 Switch 1 & 2 Games You Should Check Out In The 'Cyber Deals' eShop Sale (North America)
@Ralek85 Ohh. That's unironically neat!
Re: 40 Switch 1 & 2 Games You Should Check Out In The 'Cyber Deals' eShop Sale (North America)
@Ralek85
Ah. Shame. And, it's only missions?
Re: 40 Switch 1 & 2 Games You Should Check Out In The 'Cyber Deals' eShop Sale (North America)
@Solid_Python
Unfortunately, storage space is a major concern for me rn.

Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Was The Best-Selling Nintendo Game In October (US)
@Tyranexx For Scarlet, yes.
For ZA, almost.
I just can't ever get pokemon gen 8 or 9 dlc on sale, or justify buying it when it seems from everything I see to be minimal additions, especially with multi waning.
Re: 40 Switch 1 & 2 Games You Should Check Out In The 'Cyber Deals' eShop Sale (North America)
@Solid_Python
Crossworlds is on sale too?
For how much? I saw pretty much nothing on this.
Re: 40 Switch 1 & 2 Games You Should Check Out In The 'Cyber Deals' eShop Sale (North America)
@Ralek85 Hmm. Appreciated, but if that's all it is, I'll pass.
The Arkham game predator missions kinda stressed me out in trying to get all objectives.
And maybe Switch 2 will offer a boost?
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Was The Best-Selling Nintendo Game In October (US)
@Tyranexx I still need to get the DLC...and like, 5 trades.
Also, brand name presence is a thing, and I can't say I like it in this case. Even if I'm enjoying the game.
Re: 40 Switch 1 & 2 Games You Should Check Out In The 'Cyber Deals' eShop Sale (North America)
@Ralek85
Is Mark of the Ninja purely stealth?
I enjoy MGS occasionally...but it's hard for me to get into.
Re: 40 Switch 1 & 2 Games You Should Check Out In The 'Cyber Deals' eShop Sale (North America)
Why is it like, everything is stuff I already have, except AI Nirvana?
Meh. Any good DLC on sale?
Re: Sakurai Is Keen To Live An "Unassuming Life", Despite His Fame And Prestige
Interesting.
I can see why he wants to be out the spotlight.
Far too easy to be made a villain.
Same time, I respect the insane efforts he makes. I missed out on friending him on switch, sadly.
Re: Review: Kirby Air Riders (Switch 2) - Incredibly Chaotic, But Satisfyingly Deep & Rewarding Racing
Me after seeing the test demo: "Looks like the big thing I need to worry about is a lack of modes and content."
This is more or less something I'll be adding to my list.
Also, did not previously know Smash Run's idea came from OG Air Ride.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Kirby Air Riders?
@benmalsky198
Good to know. Not a quick buy for me, but something to consider.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Kirby Air Riders?
As of yet, I'm uncertain.
Only three modes? Haven't kept up with the directs.
It feels like there's quality for what's there, but like with smash, my worry is not enough ways to play.
Re: Nintendo Launches 2026 Calendars, Including One Just For NSO Subscribers
So, free with platinum points....last I checked, that was free plus $20 shipping....
Way more expensive than what you'd find anywhere else.
Re: Official Zelda Movie Photos Give Us Our Best Look Yet At Link And Zelda
Honestly, they look excellent.
I just hope the rest of the movie is up to this standard.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Dragon Power (NES)

Re: Nintendo States Its Intention To Acquire More Development Teams
Rareware PLEASE!
Golden back in the day.
Also, if it can help out the poor indie devs forced to make a game roughly every couple years, Gamefreak. Or The Pokemon Company.
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.

The Mario and Yoshi art could have inspired stories of their own!
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
""Dark Echoes" is a cooler name, but western box art wins imo.
For those who didn't do it, the subtitle might be a reference to the 100% items ending of Prime 1. Cause that makes sense.

Re: Anniversary: SNES Action RPG 'Terranigma' Is 30 Years Old Today, And It's Still A 10/10 In Our Book
Collection of Gaia would be nice, yeah.
I think I have Illusion of, but haven't had my SNES set up in too long.
Re: Sonic Team's Boss Wants To Put More Sonic Characters In The Spotlight
I'm hopeful they could bring back a bunch of the rarer sighted characters too.
Been kinda hyped after seeing a couple SatAM revival projects, but that would not work with main universe.
Also can't help but note, 2d era had 4 main playable characters, the aforementioned Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and eventually Amy.
GBA games had an era where Cream was a fifth, but Superstars filled her long missing role with someone else.
Wonder if they could get a spotlight?
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z‑A Ranked Battles Season 1 Now Live, Reach 'Rank K' For A Special Reward
@RupeeClock
Sun/Moon had them too?
I barely played Gen 7 after the main story...I don't even remember!
Re: Banjo-Kazooie Director Marks Departure From Rare With A Poem
MS is just toxic to its own studios.
I'd love to see more Rareware games, and knowing Sea of Thieves is one makes me actually want it.
But will there be more? Doubtful.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z‑A Ranked Battles Season 1 Now Live, Reach 'Rank K' For A Special Reward
This is genuinely stupid imo.
I am not speedrunning this game, and I'm not that good at competitive.
That said, I'll try.
Re: Review: Pokémon Legends: Z-A - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - Stellar Battles, But A Step Down From Arceus
Hmm.
So, some pros are particularly good, but the cons are particularly bad?
For the pros, I'm definitely glad I'm getting this.
Add to the cons the day 1 DLC though....
Re: Notorious Group 'Crimson Collective' Claims To Have Hacked Nintendo
Welcome back to Nintendo vs the internet, where we have actual scum representing the internet side this time....
Yeah. Hope they get their just desserts, and inspire Nintendo to actually improve digital security.
Re: PSA: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Is Already Being Datamined, Watch Out For Spoilers
Nintendo challenging the whole internet in futility again.
Welp, I'll find out how the game is when I get the game.
Re: Prepare For Even More Pokémon This Month, As New Horizons Series Lands UK Release Date
@BrazillianCara
You mean, they still change the music?
Ugh.
At least the OG dub score wasn't stock music.
Having said that, I've been keeping up. Was surprised the last season finale was kept intact, and not censored afaik.
