On but off topic-- I think the anniversary remake subject will include something from Chrono Trigger this year, but great still if FFIX is getting a remake for it's fans.

I'm hoping we'll get a built in browser this time we can use. It's always been there, only called in certain circumstances on Switch 1, but with mouse capability it would make sense as a feature. Maybe that C button stands for "content", as in media content and other stuff? Looking forward to this Direct.

I'd play this with my brawler pal, just can't seem to get the time to get around to it. I hope to one day.

Ah, let's see....

I finally broke down and added Super Smash Bros. Ultimate to my library. Long overdue. Time to get the DLC Pass #2 so I can get the rest of the characters. More importantly I'll be kicking off Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. I can't wait to get back into this game. I'm also testing the waters for possibly playing Chrono Cross concurrently. Lastly, Balatro has arrived from GameFly, but it's at my mom's house, so I'll need to wait to pick that up. That'll be next weekend's play, so I'll get to see what the big deal is about this game.

"the limited rewind function continues recording while the game is paused, which is really boneheaded, and completely defeats the purpose of the feature if you’re unlucky with your timing"

Doesn't that happen with NSO games too though? I hate that personally, but I just try not to pause on a "bad part".

Wow, they're confident. I wish this project the best.

@Krisi I played the demo and enjoyed it. It's on my to play list for sure and I agree, it has a strong Goemon vibe.

This is funny. I've been back and forth between saying BAL-Luh-Tro and BAH-Luh-Tro, and a coworker corrected me yesterday saying Buh-LAH-Tro lol. Now I get to tell him off 😆

I heard the explanation, but I'm trying to see if this will be useful to me. Once I get Switch 2, I'm transferring EVERYTHING to it from Switch 1, then giving my Switch 1 to my mom, and she doesn't play what I play. So... time to wait for more info.

If used right it could be valuable. At the very least, Nintendo could control their news better, which might help reduce so many leaks. Guess we'll just have to wait and see what it's like.

The Direct tried to be coy with it, but I knew after the jumping in time began in the first segment that it had to be Rhythm Heaven. I've only dabbled in the series, but I'd be more than happy to dive right in this time. The music alone sold it for me.

I'm hype so far. My beat 'em up pal who loves Marvel brawlers is gonna flip over this. Dotemu and Tribute? Winner. Gonna be eyeing this all the way.

So Samus just gonna up and borrow Link's Ultrahand like that...?

Control, Cast, and Cursor are leading the charge for me.

@Krisi This can't happen soon enough. I miss Goemon so bad.

@EarthboundBenjy This has always been my problem too. I understand "get gud" and all that, but I don't consider myself a shmup-head-- I just want to shoot all the things and proceed lol. I have a love/hate with the Gradius series.

I feel XCX:DE, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, and Metroid Prime 4 will take advantage of this.

Not even a large update? Intriguing for what I don't know.

I am a fan of brick breakers, but I want to pass on this since it's Breakout sideways (Or rather, it's Pong orientation with brick breaking). It technically breaks my brain being sideways. Apparently it's deeper than Breakout Recharged, so I may pursue it.

Rest in peace, Smash bro... rest in peace. We'll keep the fight going. ✊🏽

Meh, I'm trying not to add anymore backlog until NS2, but there you go Nintendo, damn!

I really wish I had the time for this game. It's the main reason I won't start it.

I'm not the most familiar with all things Pokémon, but if it isn't one thing, it's another it seems I'm always reading. From missteps from TPC, to PO'ed fans.

They could have just waited then. The only good part for me is that I can't remember all of the songs from it, so it's not a complete loss at the moment. Unrelated, I'm just waiting for Super Metroid.

Perhaps something better is around the corner? We'll know a lot more April 2.

Eh... It was dad joke level. Won't set the world ablaze, but would've been cuter if a little kid said it.

Damn Activision, don't hassle the Hawk.

Wow, that looks very impressive. I'll keep an eye out for it.

Amazing. Mega Man 2 is essential and firmly took what was laid down in 1 and made it more fun to play (and look at, and listen to). First MM I ever played. I remember when I was on the outside looking in to see what the big deal was about. Blew my mind. I STILL hum the music to this day.

At first I was thinking RetroRealms gameplay, but as I kept looking at the trailer, I kept thinking it's more akin to G.I. Joe, which was also shoddy from what I'm seeing.

Nothing but Atari 50. So incredibly insightful and entertaining. This was the generation I missed (mostly) and almost was a part of if not for Nintendo stealing my soul.

I can't say I fully get it. Mario's timeline makes far more sense.

Damn, and wow. With people in the world wasting so much time on nonsense, it's great to see time spent on something entertaining.

@AlanaHagues Greatest tagline ever.

I didn't know plucks was inappropriate...

That's funny, I just got through looking through Atari's stuff earlier today to see what was on sale, and nothing. Then boom... Magically they're on sale now. On another note, I'm playing Atari 50 right now experiencing the original take of many of those Recharged games. Of the recharged games I have not gotten yet, I've taken an interest to Black Widow and Quantum, so I'll check out their Recharged versions. Oh and I, Robot is fun, too.

Wow, ALL the popular strategy game names. Two of which got remakes in recent times.

@Waa-Laa I'm not sure it'll be for me when I get to play it, but you're one of the few I've heard from that didn't get hooked.

Ick, they look terrible and out of place on their uniforms. It wouldn't be half as bad if it were in any team with red at least in their colors.

Looks fun. I look forward to hearing more about it.

Physical release. THIS is all I care about.

Good, so there's a chance Laura will return. Oh and newer tracks can be purchased through DLC? Not perfect, but better than being stuck with the same tunes.

I forgot about Legend of Mana. I'm so conflicted as I love the Mana series, but not so much past the first 3 Mana games (the first 3 were sublime for me). I've heard some say the series goes down after LoM, so I maaay just give it a shot and be done with it.

Hopefully it's compatible with NS2. I'm just sorry that a good Pro Controller that has gyro came all the way at the end of NS1's lifetime-- Gyro is all I ever needed. It seems like a serviceable pad, too. Not too worried about the oddly placed L4/R4 triggers, and the dpad sounds promising, at least.

Bang! Believe the hype. It was great when I played it on Wii U, and this all but solidified that I will be double dipping. Great review breaking it into 3 acts. Yes, it did feel that exhilarating from foot, to Skell, to flying Skell-- Take it all in and enjoy.

Every region should stick to what they do best. Doesn't mean that each region can't dabble. Some things are just better where they originate from.

Wow that is sexy.

Dr. Mario Fever... yes.

Hah, Jeff and... Abore? So that's the Arnold Schwarzenegger lookin' dude. I usually don't do rogue-lites, but this game turned out to be a pleasant celebration of Double Dragon and very fun with 2 player.

Dual release all the way. Been saying it since 2020 and I'm sticking to it. Once they announced a super rare rebooting of development, I felt we would see this at the end of Switch 1's life and beginning of Switch 2's.
