Mariotag

@ndunsmo
Seriously? Where is this stated?

@WaveBoy
Yup. If only I noticed it was under $20, instead of over $70...

I'm just like, do I take my game out with this event over? Or keep it in for another one?

@Tyranexx
Fair. Life happens. Still nice seeing you around.

Direct came and went. Instead of GS, we got a truckload of dlc. Even the premium sub got paid dlc. Gotta love it.

@WaveBoy
Meanwhile, I'm reminded of my big VB oopsie...
Passing one up for $19....

@Yoshi3

This.
This direct was the direct of paid dlc.

Even the premium subscription is getting paid dlc in the form of virtual boy games.

I've been upset with them since OG switch, and now they've gotten cocky from their success, to the point they're burning it as fuel.

@Flashlink99

Especially that environment...

Honestly, seeing all the traps in this game caught me off guard.

I ended up spoiled on the bench, but simply had to experience it for myself anyway.

Nowhere near as bad as the unnecessary double damage bosses imo. Especially considering the playable character is at least somewhat known for using traps herself.

@Tyranexx Ohhh yes. 4 is a must to me. But they'd probably need to make a remake package first.

And I figured. Even I'm feeling the burden.

I'd say, it isn't the difficulty that gets me. Rather, some cheapness with bosses.

The boss I most recently defeated had a neat gimmick where, aside from its two attack patterns, it summons other enemies to fight. But the boss does double damage, making an early game boss insanely difficult and cheap.

The idea is clear enough, but the double damage ruins it.

Having said that, I like the occasional cheap surprise.
The traps are a neat inclusion.

I wouldn't say too hard, no..
Just overly cheap in the boss department.

Optional fix please~

@Tyranexx

Nice seeing you!

Glorious retro music this is!
Now I just need my Golden Sun 4...

@ShieldHero

This is why I would get the OG Switch version, and upgrade.

Welp, mine finally started. Just a few hours of downloading to go.

@Oldstalk
DSL buddy?
Or no?

Well, it ain't showing as released on PSN...

@mctrials23
So...the eshop has actually crashed?

Loads shop of my choosing

**isn't listed as out yet**

***Maybe resetting will help?***

This is very much a "I need more money and storage room" sale.

Unfortunate that neither is available atm.

I could care less when it's coming. I just know that it's coming.

Please let it be a timeslot I have a budget during!

Bout time! Now, price?

@ottoecamn
Yeah. Considering the canon.....especially with Muzet.

@Aurumonado
Like a fool, I went and got platinum for both Xillias.

So uh. Don't beat yourself up.

I'm still trying to figure if this is more farming sim RPG, or if it has some JRPG.
Also wanna know how much mythology.

Now I'm interested.

Idek the kind of game Shinobi is.

Ninja Gaiden like?

Apologies, but having been seeing the current iteration of the anime subbed, Imma go with "Rekkuza"...

That aside, my big pronunciation debate is if you canonically have to call the god of the pokemon world an arse anytime you refer to him by name.

@breach187
This.

I know Phantasia got a PSP remake, but only in Japan.

I aim to get that with a translation patch.

Also, @ShieldHero I've been at the games for a while.
They have different styles throughout the series. While I personally started with Symphonia, a lot of ppl say Vesperia is the best one.

Silksong is slated for this year. Probably finally a given.

@sethfranum

This has been a problem for a long time.
Arguably, digital can cost more.

Nintendo never discounts their big games much, but retailers? They do.

I'm honestly glad that this article refers to how he made his games. Puts a lil more emphasis on the fact he had a role.

Anyway, gotta wonder where in 'bama Birmingham is... I keep forgetting, but I think it's a lot further north than I'm up for going.

Survey was only there a handful of hours...

I wanted to put my opinion out there.

Also, to the two discussing it, how would a used market for digital games even work? You can't buy digital secondhand...

Is this a particularly good set of Atelier games?
And can I ever expect discounts?

It says the survey is not currently active?

I'm still trying to download it.
Switch 2 appears to have been anti-optimized for older internets.

Something they backported to OG Switch as well.

So Nintendo devices are literally the only ones that don't fully function on my internet now.

I'm looking forward to trying it though! Stupid name could become a gameseller. My problem is, why HD-2D again??

Oh joy...
Sony can influence things even more now?

I don't want that.
It's already frustrating enough having what's already the case.

@darkfenrir Good.
I just confirmed with my local store.

Ultimately, I want to lessen the storage burden on my switch 2, and have as many of these games as possible available for either system.

@Dr_Lugae
Mario Party probably.

And I didn't know that era alone had three!
I think these days, people are more hyper-aware. Especially of Nintendo, as they are more or less gaming Disney now, in terms of reputation.

@JJtheTexan
I mean, Pokemon USA did similar way back before they changed their name..

I strongly dislike what Nintendo is right now.

Interesting thought though, which Toad was it I knew from the N64 era?

I'm just wondering if there's an upgrade path.
I don't wanna limit this to my switch 2.

@BinaryMessiah
What sorts of internal politics?

I personally agree with the comment prior yours.
Nintendo would not have done this under Iwata/Reggie. Not any of this bs we've seen since switch 1 came out.

At bare minimum, there would have been measures taken to lighten the load on the consumer.

@Aurumonado In bad faith on her part?
Cause if not, it's absolutely in bad faith on Nintendo's part!

Much as I can appreciate someone getting a chance to voice an icon, Nintendo should not be cutting these ppl off.

It's weird seeing how awful some of the games on the list are.

Same time though, it's worth recognizing that the VB is an unfinished console. The N64 took the spotlight, and if not for that, we'd have seen a much different story.

Much as I like N64, I'd never wish for VB to have taken its place. But coexistence? That'd have been amazing...

@Medic_alert

Honestly? This. Kinda.
It's less burnout for me than BotW and TotK, but feels like a mesh of them, Mario Odyssey, and something else.

@LastFootnote
Weird. I didn't take SE for a less effort company.

Having said that, I know I don't want the trilogy on switch 2.

It's a toss up between which platforms go the best them I suppose.

Huh.
Looking at this, while I think it's a neat merit for it to move to switch 2, gives me a hot take.

What if they'd tried seeing if they could have a switch 1 build too?

Feels like some of the great early games were partially a product of creative ways to get around limitations. So I'd be curious how anything they developed going forward would be improved if they had done a switch 1 build as well.

@LastFootnote
How poorly did it run, and in what ways?

I'm seriously considering getting the trio used, or on sale.Something of that ilk.
But I do not want to use a keycard release.
My OG Switch already uses lots of storage as it is...

@VoidofLight
Ohh. That one.
Yeah. Heard about it and the related outcry. Not sure the actual truth at this stage cause of info dissonance, and uncertainty of who has more sway.

Another Marvel Capcom Universe entry?
Oh a no!

Welp, Nintendo vs the internet continues.
Who will win?
Big corporation that can't see everything?

Or the masses who can just keep reposting these games as soon as they get a digital preorder/person lets a cart slip?

@VoidofLight
What kind of file?
Not gonna press for details due to the likely nature, but someone's got something on them?
