MeloMan

Meh, still no Mega Man news from Capcom.

I'm definitely feeling the lore sting, but I'll hold off til the credits roll for hopefully an explanation of why Pauline is young and all the "present and correct" Kongs being still the ages they are. Until then, my head canon says this is an origin story and there are multiple generation Crankys, Diddy, and Dixies 😆

I remember getting so fed up playing outside, getting the sunlight, washing out the screen to where I couldn't see it, then just breaking down and asking my mom for a UV lamp lol. Good times. Still a fun game, this and part 2. I did enjoy Lunar Knights too, actually, even though the sun sensor mechanic was dropped.

Looks like the current climate in the games industry hasn't changed. It'll probably stay that way till further notice unless there's a serious shake up.

Dilemma, dilemma... Shall I pursue the game I got so far in and never finished, or let it go. Choices, choices.

I plan to go with the case that has the least chance of my analog sticks getting caught from shifting inside the case or getting squished when the case is closed.

Ugh, I saw "Mystical" and got excited for Mystical Ninja 😔

This weekend is...

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Ring Fit Adventure
Berserk Boy

Good, glad it works right. Now. Throw the shell AND dodge it.

Guess that leaves room for a Switch 2 OLED model eventually...

Back in my day we had hard NES controllers that stabbed your fingers and palms with those corners and we survived. EVERYTHING is something that can hurt you, intentionally or unintentionally. Live and learn. Watch those fingers. It'll be OK I promise...

That's Shin'en for ya.

Wouldn't be a Zelda experience if it wasn't delayed.

As long as I get a firm case that does not press on my analog sticks as the case gets jostled in my bag then I'm fine with that.

I don't have a Switch 2 yet, so I'm going to shoot my shot on this question even though I kind of know the answer. Since it has a USB slot on top, can the Switch 2 actually be placed in the dock upside down?

So they're... specifically, Xbox Play Anywhere handhelds?

Ha! I got that subtitle reference. Nice one, NL.

It only got the hate back then because Nintendo revealed a realistic looking Zelda tech demo at Spaceworld 2000 only just to reveal a cartoony version a couple years later-- It was like betrayal, what with GCN battling its kiddy image and all on top of this. Kids back then were none the wiser, which is why they cherish it so today without batting an eye, while a lot of us older folk were cranky about it. None of this had anything to do with the quality game on hand, and didn't keep me from missing it... I loved it all the same. Zelda fan for life.

I may one day yet play this game to see what all the fuss is about. I'm glad it scored well.

Two things: 1) I thought the wait for Metroid Prime 4 was killer, but this has been almost as bad for me. 2) Yacht Club Games needs to find a way to speed up their releases, for real.

Hmmm... I was just wondering how I would play Ring Fit Adventure on Switch 2 and this article helped me answer my question. I'm sure inevitably there will be a Ring Fit Adventure 2 anyway.

Ha, very Nintendo. I wonder if you hold a trigger or something, along with holding the left stick , will it make that alternate GameCube boot up sound? You know, the squeaky one with the laugh at the end?

Edit: Never mind I see someone already tried it. Awesome!

He's not getting his hands involved as much as he used to since he's preoccupied with Nintendo's other projects. All things must change in time but he will ultimately always be known as the father of many Nintendo projects.

This 100% should have... oh wait, we said that already. This is going to be a game missed by many unfortunately. Seems like for all Nintendo put into it that they would've lined it up better for mass consumption-- It feels like a missed opportunity. When I do get my Switch 2, if this isn't the first game I get, then it's highly likely that I will pass it altogether as the march of other new games will take precedence.

... But did you guys taste the vent...?

@RasandeRose so the Dpad on the Pro Controller 2 is better than the first? I'll take all opinions.

Guess all the game key cards that aren't worth their own shelf space can go in there...

The game looks amazing and it's right up my alley. Side observation: I didn't realize how much Takaya Imamura looks like Tingle... 🤔

Now that this got a revival from Konami... how about Goemon. C'mon Konami...

With mouse mode, this is a no brainer.

Wow... MKW is really raising some questions this generation...

I can't wait for the review for this. The thing I want to know most is if that blasted Dpad has been improved.

200cc is a wacky fun extra. With the amount of terrain to cover in MKW, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before it's added, just not initially.

A lot of people have been asking for this one. Hopefully this makes a lot of people happy. I'm astounded that there's that many tracks. I think the main reason there won't be any tracks next week is they want to make sure all the focus is on the Switch 2 as much as possible.

If I happen across this, and I feel like throwing coins at it, I'll bite, but it's currently low in my list.

Even though I won't be getting Switch 2 right away, hopefully by the time I do, they will add even more GCN games. Truth is, I've played all the games I wanted to play except for Skies of Arcadia Legends. It's a slim chance, but maybe Sega will find it in their hearts to allow it to appear.

Wish I could be saying "Next weekend I'll be playing MKW and Donkey Kong Bananza!", but it's not in the cards until next year, so... it'll be a Switch 1 weekend until then.
With that said, I will be continuing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, sprinkling in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate and Steel Racer.
Once I squash some "life purchases", I'll pick up the pursuit to procure a Switch 2... So ready to hand my Switch 1 to my mom.

Looks a little rough. Seems like it could use more optimization.

Sounds like it shouldn't have been announced just yet if that's the case. What a buzz kill.

Call of Glory... Really...?

@Blast16 not sure, maybe it's not retroactive? I just know any post update purchases I've done removes it from my wish list.

I have one for my Switch 1, but I don't use it much because I don't travel that often with my dock, unless I'm going over my friend's house. I probably won't repeat that with Switch 2, especially if my current case works. I might be more interested in that smaller case option since I will definitely need that for when I get a Switch 2, but I'll likely find a suitable off brand.

On an unrelated note, I noticed that when games are purchased that were once on your wishlist in the eShop, FINALLY they auto-remove themselves. Way long overdue.

Way, way late, but there's a shot it'll be on GameFly now, so I'll keep track of it.

So... Will be released on Switch 1 and 2, but Switch 2 will be game key card only? So I'll... get it for Switch 1 and play it on Switch 2.

I like Capcom, but I hate their modern day business practices to always take the route of least resistance. They give us some great things, but there's always a step back with those guys.

It'd be nice if no shovelware makes the cut but that's too much to ask, I know.

Hallelujah to remapping N64 controls without warping all system controls. I have zero issue with N64 rewind either.

I like what this is about at least and I do like old school point n clicks. I'll watch for a sale.

Continuing with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Must keep pushing.
Gonnan play two retro throwbacks:

Sword of Hope (though I'm starting to think I've played this already... perhaps VC?)
Gradius (Looks slow enough for me to play.)
