What’s truly “Random:” is that a U.K. based website, reporting on sales in Japan, gives the prices in dollars and cents. Why?

@Aeleron0X Me too! Can’t wait to see what all the fuss is about.

On a separate note, was anyone else hoping for a Silksong update? I could cry...

@JHDK yes. This game. It’s really, really poor.

Why when listing European dates, do you not use the European date format?

“Bite sized missions” “pick up and play” “high score” Pass.

My original joycons drifted. As did my nephews. I bought a £10 kit with replacement stick off amazon. Repaired mine and gave them to my nephew. I bought new ones when mine started to drift. No drift yet on my newer ones.

@Mew2Senshi that’s good to hear, but I was referring more to the level based system of 1/2 genie hero. I prefer the metroidvania style of game with a big interconnected world.

I forgot about this! Please, please, please be more like Pirates Curse and nothing at all like 1/2 Genie Hero. Thanks.

@Kmno I’m fully aware the Castle games are held in high regard. The aesthetic has always seemed cheesy to me hence my avoidance of them. If I enjoy Bloodstained once it’s fully patched, I might go play some of the games post SotN.

@DWWM I loved the few hours I played and am itching to pick it up again! But I wanna enjoy it fully from start to finish. I’d hate to keep playing before the patch, and run into anything that made me dislike the experience. The wait for the patches is killing me.

P.S hope you continue to have a good experience with it.

@DWWM read my post. I didn’t say it affected my enjoyment. Actually read it.

@Justifier no. When the developers of the game said it needs patching ( in response to the reviews) , I didn’t want to play on until it is patched... big difference.

As an avid fan of the Metroidvania genre, I’m ashamed to say I’ve never played a Castlevania game... I know, I know!
I guess it’s the aesthetic that’s always put me off. Much prefer the Sci-Fi setting of the Metroid games.

I’ve heard that Symphony of the night is the Castlevania game to play out of them all, so was pleased to hear that Ritual of the Night was made by the same guy and pre ordered it for the Switch. My first Castle/IGA vania game!

I played it for a few hours and was enjoying it. But then the reviews of the Switch version poured in, 505 tweets poured in and left me not wanting to continue playing until all patches have been applied to the Switch version. Not a good first Castlevania/ Igavania experience! Haven’t touched the game since.

Ugh! Had me until I read “procedurally generated”. I’m getting sick of that mechanic. It leads to dull environments. It does work in some games, but honestly feels cheap now. Devs, please stop it. Put some time in and handcraft your game so it’s as awesome as it can possibly be.

@rex_rex I was going to say it’s not a polemic statement, because you are literally the only person in existence that would say Shovel Knight is greater than Hollow Knight. Then I see 5 likes on the post. This madness is worse than I first thought!

Who you calling hoe?

The legendaries look like budget Power Rangers toys.

Never played anything by this guy... but after seeing the awful reviews of Travis Strikes Again, I couldn’t care less for what he’s doing at E3. Travis Strikes Again looked like it was made by a 5 year old, with humour of a child to match.

@ilh Good work! It’s the only way they’ll learn.

They’ll be telling us the main protagonist in Resident Evil 4 is “Lion S Kennedy” next!

Hope he’s not replacing Alex! And his name is definitely not pronounced “Zee-On”... it’s Ion with a Zed in front. So it’s pronounced exactly how it is spelled. Otherwise that’s just dumb.

Edit: clearly a joke.

I wish I liked Pokémon as much as when I played blue all those years ago. Seems like a great time to be alive for Poké fans right now.

Had never heard of this until just now, and it’s out soon! Love it when that happens. Will get.

I hope the cheap price isn’t reflective of how long the game is though...

Not my style of game usually, but after one “run” I like it. It got really hard really fast... but I did just mainline through the main quests. Next run I’ll do more exploring and side quests for the exp. that ought to help. If you’re a fan of rogue-likes and turn based rpgs you’ll most likely get a kick out of this.

That Hornet one is amazing. I’m not an Amiibo collector myself (only have a green knitted Yoshi) but I’d buy any Hollow Knight ones in a heartbeat.

@ShaiHulud I’m the same. I almost always prefer hand crafted levels/environments...

@ThanosReXXX not offended at all, I have a bit of a mental block with certain words and rogue/rouge is just one of them!

@ThanosReXXX 😆 good spot. Edited 👌

@ShaiHulud don’t think it’s a roguelike? It has random generation, but that’s all I got from this review...

@Tim_Vreeland you made a video? Can you link it?

Edit: just realised you meant a comment you posted on the direct video. Ignore linking it 😆

Speaking in purely digital form, it’s a superb deal. 100% the best way to go if you want to download your first party games.

@UmbreonsPapa completely agree. Makes me laugh how some people get so defensive and think they’re so obviously the final word on a situation. Who cares either way, it’s just a bit of fun.

It’s most likely nothing, but here’s hoping it’s something.

@Tim_Vreeland oh no! Now we have to check who posted it first lol. One of us should get the credit 😊

I posted about it at 2:50am or 3 hours 50 minutes after the Direct

I’m intrigued by this one. Gonna wait for people’s initial impressions and reviews before I pull the trigger though.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought this could mean something... unless Gavin Lane saw my comment and didn’t credit me. The cheek 😂

@JaxonH you’re most likely 100% right. Not arguing with you at all. Just a thought... were the individual karts actually named in the SNES version though?

@NotTelevision haha, yep. All aboard the hype train! Choo choo.

@Not_Soos I’d be very surprised if it was an error. I’m no expert in making Nintendo Directs, but I’d imagine it’d be really hard to accidentally add that logo by mistake.

@JaxonH hmm, you might be right. Wouldn’t they have flashed a Mario Kart logo if that were the case though?

Did anyone else notice the “Super Famicom” logo randomly appear when the car Mario can drive was first shown? It was so out of place and didn’t seem to fit with anything they showed in the whole direct... maybe a teaser for SNES games coming to Switch?
Skip to around the 11 minute mark to see it for yourself. When they introduce the “Koopa Troopa Car”.

Looks gorgeous, but I’m initially put off by it being set in one arena... the word arena in any game is instant nope for me. Hope I win a code for this in the giveaway NL did with Qubic otherwise it’ll be a pass from me.

Hope it’s a new game that doesn’t suck like Quest did. So disappointed with them for Quest.

@nessisonett not that odd considering they also call taps “faucets”, football “soccer” and rugby (in body armour) “football”.

As British humour is somewhat confusing to them too... this is just a joke. Keep your hair on.

Pfftt it was Mother’s Day in March. Guess they forgot.

Got this on Ps4 last year and only played it for an hour or so... will definitely double dip and get it on the Switch as I’ll actually play it this time around.

There’s something about playing games like this in handheld mode that just works.

If you’re gonna bother giving release dates in different regions, you may as well list the date in the proper format...

Europe
Super Mario Maker 2 - 6/28/2019... the 6th of the 28th? What?

Just saying.

Will wait for initial impressions, but I’m getting a Hyper Light Drifter vibe from the trailer. If it’s anywhere near as good as HLD I’m in!

Wish this was available today... now that would have been a bombshell shadow drop! Instead of the meh they shadow dropped.

@Dpullam Same! Was really hoping for a sequel rather than a remaster of the original.

After quitting Dokkan Battle a year ago I’m looking forward to this. Looks like it’s gonna be much kinder on the wallet!
