Seen some people say it’s a new SAO game, which underwhelming enough for me to believe it

There needs to be a huge asterisk to the Switch 2 release given the Generation Pack has its own spot here

Quality of the games seem a bit scattershot. That said, while X-Men is the obvious highlight and headliner, Captain America and the Avengers is also a fun time imo, and the two Spider-Man games are better than expected despite being LJN games

Kinda wish they got the Capcom and Sega games in there too though

Happy it looks better than the trailer they showed at the PS, I’ll probably wait for a price drop though, $60 is really steep for me

I feel generally speaking most devs tend to greatly dislike leakers. Maybe it’s a bit much, maybe he’s exaggerating, but I think his feelings are warranted

@EarthboundBenjy “I don’t like thing, therefore it’s a scam”

This was always my favorite Pokemon game so I’ll probably get LG at some point though $20 is a bit steep

A Mario Sports spin-off has no business being a $70 game, and the sales reflect it. Even considering it's a packed month, that's a massive drop from ACES. I hope Nintendo uses these numbers as a way to rethink their pricing strategy because not every game they make needs to be a full priced release, save the $70 for your mainline Marios, Zeldas, Fire Emblems, etc, give smaller or more niche games a lower price so they can at least have a chance

After beating VII and Remake I’ve been on a bit of a Final Fantasy kick lately. Currently playing VIII and will probably go through IX again after. Though I’ve also been playing MGS2 and 3 after the Switch 2 patch got them running better so I can finally play them the way they’re supposed to run

Dammit Otacon! Get a grip!

Article should be updated that the recent update for the Master Collection Vol. 1 updates the games to run at 60fps on Switch 2

@AG_Awesome
I have good news for you!

Really gonna be interesting to see how they address the "PS3 Blu Ray" reference

Also I guess it's time to start bugging them about Metal Gear Rising now

Sonic Racing games unfortunately are games I don’t think can get away with full-price releases + paid DLC, especially when a) a lot of them are random Nickelodeon characters and b) they don’t have voice acting or interactions with everyone(and this goes for all DLC characters), it makes them feel really cheap and off, like if you’re going through the trouble of adding SpongeBob at least give the novelty of hearing talk trash to Shadow. I like SpongeBob and all, but I can’t help but look at their inclusion with apathy(not as bad as Danica Patrick or Christiano Ronaldo in MOTW, but still with confusion), especially with Mega Man and PAC-man, who just makes me want to see Smash Kart but from Sonic’s side. Throw me Cloud Strife or Solid Snake, I’d be all over it.

Of course releasing near Mario Kart didn’t help either. People can air out their grievances over the price but it’s still a solid Mario Kart release

Devs don't owe anyone anything and are allowed to block whoever they want, especially have gamers have shown to be some of the biggest crybabies on the internet. It's really not worth the hassle to interact with these kinds of people on social media.

The fact that people were taken for a ride over the Bayonetta VA debacle, relentlessly harassed the guy over a lie, and instead of admitting they f-ed up, they instead tried to justify their harassment shows people just want anger and outrage, and it's being proven on this very comment section

just give me a collection of the first 9 games(Cod 1-3, MW 1-3, W@W, BO 1 and 2). Make a bundle of 3 each, I don't care how, just put them there. Bonus points if you're nice enough to throw UO or BRO as freebies

I don't care much for the newer stuff(barring IW's campaign)

I’m biased for Final Fight’s cover, but damn if Captain Commando isn’t enticing

I’m willing a new Star Fox game into existence, but for the love of god no more remakes of 64. Let the damn game go

Anyone focusing purely on sales and competition is missing the big picture entirely. This news, these numbers, aren't good for anyone . People aren't going to be buying luxury goods when we're on the cusp of a recession, topped with the chip shortage with AI data centers gobbling it all up and companies like Nvidia focusing solely on that market, and focusing less on making consumer grade parts available, everything is going to get more expensive, which means a lot people having to decide paying food/rent or a damn video game

I’d flip MVC and Cosmic Invasion, but only because I’m biased for MVC

Made watching the thing worth it

Sales must be really bad then, at least for a CoD.

Really just take a break every other year at least. It’s amazing that they never learned their lesson from MWIII

I think he made the right call given Leon and Claire are equally as iconic

I'd give it a 7 or an 8 if I'm feeling generous. Plenty of good games, especially with DKB and MKW, though I don't think both crossgen and exclusives are as strong as Switch 1's first year. I do think the 3rd party support has been a lot more promising though

They made the right call by delaying it

Already have some store credit ready to buy this when I come back from work

Unfortunately this was one of those debacles where people reacted through emotions rather than logic and she was caught in the crossfire. While I agree VAs are treated very poorly and deserve better, Helena Taylor’s statements wasn’t adding up and people should have thought about it more.

Hale didn’t deserve any of the vitriol she got and I’m glad she’s still open to returning

I want to be excited for this but it gives off a lot of MN9 energy. Feels like it wants to be SF64 in all the most superficial ways. Like everything, familiar worlds, character archetypes, the similar designs, even the dialogue feels the same. It’s just all the same tropes

Feels less like a homage and more like a cheap copy

Sounds like if you liked BFBB and Cosmic Shake you’ll like it. I’m fine with that

I’m more surprised it took them this long to port it. Got to get as much traction as they can from that “Remastered” project I guess

@kal_el_07241
There’s something really funny about boycotting Nintendo over GKC and then say you’re going to Xbox for physical when they’ve been having nothing on their discs for the longest time and pushing hard for digital only

Enthusiast circles like here won’t like it but the general audiences aren’t going to care

Just getting this out now, don’t go expecting a buying spree of huge publishers, devs and IP from Nintendo like we saw with MS. Chances are this will just be acquiring and investing in studios they already have good relationships with like we saw with Next Level Games. On a related note, it’d be a good idea to invest in more NA/EU developers imo

They’re making HD console games under the same restrictions and guidelines of a cheaper handheld experience. While Pokemon has always been a huge money maker, they were never the most demanding games, but this was fine back then because they still looked great for the hardware. But once they jumped from 3DS to Switch these issues really start to show, especially when you’re being compared to far more demanding games like BOTW or Xenoblade, and especially when you’re demanding premium prices for them.

Also the games have gotten considerably easier, which really don’t think is a bad thing honestly, these games are made for kids. And before anyone gets offended by that, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. Sometimes people just want easy games. And really, and I gotta be careful with how I say this, but the series hasn’t really grown with the audience, especially compared to Digimon, and I think that’s fine. I think some people really need to accept that they might have grown out of the franchise

I mean I won’t say no to Halo but all I want is Rare Replay. Throw in the DK games, SFA, and I’ll be there day one

Hell give me the classic CoD games, I don’t care about the new stuff but I would love Big Red One, Black Ops, the original MW trilogy, CoD 3 on modern platforms too

@Greenspark
Bruh why are you replying en mass to a bunch of 2 week old posts. Are you really taking it that personally?

It’s more of a gaming pc handheld with Xbox branding than an Xbox Handheld. It even uses Windows 11 rather than something based on Xbox. If they made an actual Xbox Handheld that linked to my Xbox/360/One library it might’ve actually been worth something. I’d love a way to natively play Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, CoD3, etc, on the go. But as is, there are better and cheaper options like the Steam Deck

Better late than never I guess, but I've already imported these
@Serpenterror
Money. But having IX itself for $40 is insane as that's double the price of the digital release.....a release that frequently goes on sale

It exists just like the FFIX Remake, FE4 Remake and the Planet Robobot Switch port

I actually believe this one though

@Greenspark is that a problem?

Also it’s really funny to hear “Sonic is too good for that crap”. Yes, we wouldn’t want to sully the prestige of the franchise responsible for Sonic 06, Secret Rings, Free Riders, or Rise of Lyric now, would we?

@SoIDecidedTo
A couple months ago, One of the guys who worked on the series admitted they wanted to add more franchises than just those two, including Mega Man, PAC-Man, Street Fighter, Metal Gear, Dragonball, and some Sone/MS characters. Of course this never happened probably because it was a rights nightmare and without the pull of someone like Sakurai

Green Amy feels so wrong

Soundtrack is still excellent as is. As much as I like arrangements I’m glad they didn’t touch it. It’s still my favorite FF game so I can’t wait to get it, I’m especially interested in the difficulty levels

Nice to see that RGG seems to be committed to the Switch 2 for now

Mega Man is an inclusion I can get behind at least. That said if I get this I’ll probably only get Mega Man and PAC-man, and the Sega characters(which will hopefully include Tangle, Whisper and Stcks at some point), I still can’t come around to the inclusion of Nickelodeon.

@shonenjump86
Funny enough I’d totally buy it if they added Solid Snake

Now let’s get Tatsunoko vs Capcom and UMvC3 over here too

I get if legal/NDA is playing a role, but Not telling us what those games just hurts what little credibility he might have had left

I have the GC games in the Dolphin but never got around to playing them, I need to fix that soon

Honestly this bodes very well for the other LAD games under the Dragon Engine. Hopefully games like Judgement, Infinite Wealth, etc., aren't far off

It was a "fine" Direct. If this was in the Switch 1's fifth year no one would care, but as the first Direct for the for your new console post launch, "fine" isn't good enough. I'm not gonna poo poo on it an say it was irredeemable garbage and the console is doomed, I feel like people are being too overdramatic, but it really needed that extra OOMF
