Well, it's not a motorvania, so... cyclevania...?

So no gyro? Pass for me.

So humorous. I like Breakout, but I wasn't thrilled to find out that this game is played on its side like Pong. Even funnier is how Pong was side on, and Breakout emerged from playing Pong one player and flipping it vertical, so it's kind of like the game coming full circle. The last funny thing is that you have to resort to Tate mode to playing this in the true Breakout orientation.

Such a different take on the Pac-Man franchise. I'm a Pac-Man fan, and I also have an open mind, so I am very very interested in this game. The concept is Unapologetic and how they literally just taken Pac-Man as we know it and applied him in a new way. My final wish is that the review is good. I'm watching this one with bated breath.

Does this bode well for that long awaited XCX2 now...?

If I ever downloaded Game Builder Garage it will be to strictly play other people's creations. I had no idea such things could be found.

Can't remember what's good off hand but I will definitely give a listen.

@The_Nintend_Pedant Ahhhh the Regular Nintendo. Good times.

Can't say I'm surprised.

If he can make sure Sonic never sucks again then that alone will be a great achievement. So far so good with Sonic let's hope it doesn't fall off.

Ah, gotta love the 3 adjective + noun hero/heroine fighting team concepts! As for this particular game, I look forward to seeing how it is considering that's one helluva intro. Guns check. Anime ok. Schoolgirls... sure? Full on Japan type concept, you know it!

I'll take a SA3 preferably. Won't hold my breath though.

I'm glad he followed his heart. Better to do so than wish you had have-- If it doesn't work out, you can at least say you tried.
On an unrelated but related note, Omega 6: The Triangle Stars is on sale for 50% on the eShop.

Good, so I CAN play Ring Fit Adventure in Switch 2.

I'm playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and making my way to Gerudo desert. I'm feeling like playing something retro but I haven't figured out what yet. I'll just simply say I'm going to dig around in NSO to see what I can find.

Long time Double Dragon fan here. I'm stoked for this and I'm glad to hear it's coming to Switch.

Gimme until the holiday season or early next year. I'll come running.

I'm refraining from over-judging all aspects of this game until I know all the details and seen a review or two. Seems like folks want to find a reason to hate this game. For now I'm still intrigued.

This is all Greek to me as I don't have the game or a Switch 2 yet, so hopefully it will be all ironed out by the time I do play it.

I want it, I just want it to be 50% off first.

I love the fact the rank at the moment isn't what you'd expect. Of course it will change, but still rather refreshing to be surprised.

I almost didn't go through the track listing as I could only remember a couple tunes, but I'm glad I did-- Yo-Yo-Yoshi!, Yoshi's Disco, Dub Master Spider, and Play It Again, Yoshi were the truth for me. Absolute fire.

I'm guessing they will play a hand in The Legend of Zelda movie considering the collaboration with Sony.

Guess the beauty lies in docked mode then...

Not one of the greatest controllers, but definitely one of the most beloved. Definitely A1 when it comes to Nintendo style games or other niche type games. I still always wanted a bigger D pad, a true right analog stick, and a true ZL button, but I digress.

@Samalik Exactly what I was thinking.

I wasn't crazy about non-Mario characters being in the game anyway. It was cute, but it would have forced a Nintendo Kart inevitably, which would not have been a bad thing, but it ain't Mario Kart if you don't keep it in the family. I feel the same about Smash Bros. and how they need to get back to it being mostly Nintendo characters. It's been nice branching out into other worlds but they need to reel it in. Just my two cents.

JP sells the fun, Europe does the same but excessively, and North America just has a crazed gorilla slamming congos with no other subtext (too on the nose).

Speaking of drip feed, I wonder when Nintendo will get around to some more known releases like StarTropics II, Faxandu, Wario Land 1, or Wario Land 2, or even some lesser knowns like Shatterhand or Power Blade. I'll always take obscures.

Continuing on with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom-- I utterly got destroyed when I went to the floating coliseum. I will return you damn Lynels!

It will come when it comes. With DKB, MKW, and MP4 just to name a few, the hype has to die down for these before we can even talk of a next 3D Mario. Or next 3D Zelda for that matter.

That is fire, I love it.

@PJOReilly Tagline of the century right there!

The Gamecube. This was during a time when I finally FOUND friends to play with. SSB Melee and MK: Double Dash!! were our top go to's. It was on in my parents' basement every week. If it wasn't these games, then it was Mario Party, Mario Tennis, Mario Golf, F-Zero GX, Ultimate Muscle, WWE Day of Reckoning 1 then eventually 2, X-men Legends 1 then eventually 2-- And I know I'm missing some. Glad this article came out today-- I guess I can say my nostalgia for GCN is because I had the most fun with friends during this time in my life, and that's no rose tinted glasses take, either.

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.
