@UltimateOtaku91 I figure that because YW4 includes stuff from Shadowside, which wasn't released in the West, they might of put it on the back burner. That being said, it IS the 10th anniversary of the series in July; maybe something could happen then?
For those who are wondering, it's made in Game Maker Studio, like Undertale, Hotline Miami, etc. So it's quite easy for it to be ported over. That being said, Pizza Tower Guy/McPig/Tour De Pizza, has no current plans for a port for Switch or any other systems outside of Steam.
@EarthboundBenjy I recommend looking up AntonBlast, it's MUCH more in line with Wario Land (Especially 4). While it isn't out yet, it has been confirmed for a Switch release in 2023.
While I can recommend Two Point Hospital on Steam, console versions aren't fully recommended. Sure, it runs good and the console controls are well done; but the problem is that for it being "Jumbo", it's missing 3 of the 7 expansion pack DLCs. There aren't any current plans to bring the DLCs over anytime soon, as they are currently working on the DLCs for Two Point Campus; so do keep this in mind. (That and TPH on Steam allows you to add your own personal music into the game, mixing it in with the radio DJs)
@N00BiSH To be honest, while I don't mind the changes, the do come off a bit flat compared to the stuff they were replacing. Not bad, but it was clear that they didn't have time to refine the jokes.
For example, here's how I would rewrite one of the jokes of episode 1: "This will clear a room faster than the aftermath of Stinky's 47 Bean Burrito Bonanza!"
Not only is it Level-5's 25th anniversary, but it is also Yokai Watch's 10th on top of that. So could you PLEASE give those outside of Japan at least a little bit of the birthday cake?
@Tott It's more so of Activision's and Blizzard's VAST back catalog of titles that they can put on Game Pass. If the merger goes though, Microsoft can basically double the number of permanently available games on Game Pass in a single day.
Personally, if it was up to me, I would let the merger happen, but force Microsoft to spin-off a number of studios to allow the deal to go though.
It's baffling how a company like Square-Enix flip-flops for good to bad in a single year. I really want to know what parts of the company are going what.
@HeadPirate So basically, Nintendo forced SWT to shut down because Nintendo wasn't certain that they could escape legal liability if anything went wrong? Considering the messy legal landscape of the Professional Smash community, I can't really blame them too much for being too careful.
As for why Genshin on the Switch is MIA, I'm going to say that the two main reasons are as followed;
1: Genshin is built on Unity, which while easy to port to many systems, good luck on optimizing it! If the PS4 has trouble running it at times, heaven forbid the Switch would have a good time with it! 2: Sony and/or Tencent is stonewalling the port for as long as possible. Sony has invested heavily into the game, with them helping MiHoYo (HoyoVerse) to make a native port for the PS5 and allowing the developers to put Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn into the game as a free character. Meanwhile, Tencent has massive grudge against MiHoYo for turning down an offer to buy them. With the sucess of Honkai and Genshin, it's possible they are using their influence with Nintendo (Since they partnered to help release the Switch in Mainline China) to keep the game off the platform. (Last one is a bit tinfoiled hat of mine, but I feel like that's what's happening.)
I'm 100% certain that by this time next year, Persona sales will be over double what they are now. Who knew that releasing games on different platforms would actually make you money?
The article fails to mention that Puyo Puyo has quite a number of light novels, with some being fanslated into English. Puyo has a quite a deep lore for a puzzle game.
To be quite honest, I think it's best to open it, but try to keep it intact. The envelope is MUCH rarer than the magazine, so even if the issue inside is toast, it can be easily replaced. As for which museum to give it to, why not Nintendo themselves? (Assuming they don't have a copy of Nintendo Power #1 sealed in their archives)
@ModdedInkling My guess is that they are too far along with this and can't easily stop it. Sunk costs, basically. They sold their western cattle for a couple of beans that are most likely not magical.
Two Point Studios is NOT an indie studio. They were when they released Two Point Hospital, but they were bought by Sega of Europe in 2019. I am surprised how nearly 70% of the playerbase are on Switch, considering how much it pushes the Switch's processes to their breaking point and how easily it crashes at times. At least TPS is working on fixing the foundation of the game before adding more expansions to it; which judging by TPH's DLCs is going to be many and feature rich.
As someone who 36 starred the game on Steam, it feels much easier than Hospital because of one thing; Summer Break. Not only do a number of your students leave because they graduated, but it also allows the students and staff to rest and take care of their needs, making them happier. This safety valve is welcome, but I do wish for a challenge without it. Maybe in a future update.
I think the best idea could be to have a new dock with a bit of extra processing power to help out on games that need a bit more power to them. Not a full system, but like an extra RAM or a co-GPU to help games run better on full screen. Of course, that does run into issues of how seemless the Switch dock is, eaily could cause glitches at best and crashes/corruptions at worst.
It's a shame that no one saw read the second part of my comment. I offered a suggestion on how to make things better, yet you guys dunk on me for a Mario & Luigi reference.
My point is, Nintendo needs to drop their current contractor since its causing harm to not only real life people, but also the family friendly nature of Nintendo's brand and even name. I just hope NoJ actually allows the changes to happen.
Look Doug, I know I shouldn't judge you on your name, but even the real Bowser cared more about his own minions. This is more PR than HR to me. Also, wasn't some of the problem employees were/are part of HR? Clean up before you show off; end your relationship with Aston Carter.
I feel like there some plot holes that need to be filled if they plan to fit in Gerald Robotnik. Isn't Robotnik meant to be an orphan? Also, a major question I have is what IS Dr Robotnik's first name? Is it Ivo? If it isn't, that could be a way to write in a different person without needing to recast Carrey.

Re: Back Page: How Many Eyes Does Sonic Really Have?
