Dk is my goty so far. But I'm having an absolute blast with Sonic Crossworlds too.

@imgrowinglegs Thank you for the advice! I appreciate it!

Really tried to get into this but I'm just not feeling it. I'm about 8 hours in but the dialouge just feels so tedious. Any suggestions or should I just trade it in? I'm a fan of other jrpgs like Final Fantasy, SMT, Earthbound, and Metaphor, along with Falcom's own Y's series.

Thanks for making my decision easy! Guess I'll just buy all third party games on steam now! If I'm getting things digital, I'd rather use a more consumer friendly platform.

Glad I stopped buying from Limited Run. What a crap show. Got tired of waiting a year to play my most anticipated games and just embraced digital for indie games now.

@DTFaux Agreed. Should have stuck with game characters. At least Miku has a crap ton of games and is adjacent to gaming.

@Yoshi3 You know what, I do agree. It was fine as a one off, but not as an entire change. I honestly wish Tears just reused the Breath engine but made a more linear game.

@Yoshi3 Hey, I understand where you're coming from. Open world isn't my cup of tea either. Let's see what they do with it. I'm just saying it worked for Zelda, so let's see what they do.

Really tired of hearing this. If Zelda can go open world, why not Metroid? I'll admit, the desert itself didn't exactly look inspiring. But I'm not against the idea. It's been a long time since Prime 3. The series needs to evolve and grow just like Nintendo's other franchises. Metroid deserves that chance as well. Really tired of Metroid having an uphill battle all the time with critics compared to Zelda.

@Telcontyr Sorry should have elaborated. I used to buy a lot of 3rd party games on Switch to play them portable, but now I just get them on steam to have my library consolidated.

Nintendo is making it extremely difficult to like them this gen. The steam deck already killed so much of my nintendo hype and they keep shooting themselves in the foot even more. These roms are perfectly playable without the hardware. Offering this piece of plastic as a cool bonus? Sure, why not? But making it required PLUS having to sub to the terrible service? Lol nah

50? Nah I'm good now.

I'd love a Metroid release date and a Fire Emblem tease.

They're really butthurt about Palworld, huh? So pathetic. They're NINTENDO. They have the money and the talent to make a good Pokemon game, but they look and run worse than every other jrpg on the console. Why does Nihon Falcom have better looking games than NINTENDO. (Yes I know gamefreak makes the game, but Nintendo is holding the leash and went after palworld).

Lol this is just like what happened when Baldurs Gate 3 came out. It's not team cherry's fault that they are providing amazing value. Same with Larian for BG3. Stop whining and step up your game. Or don't. No one cares.

@raymond23 I agree. Bananza was a truly special game. Haven't enjoyed a Nintendo game like that for a long time. I trust Sakurai though with Air Riders. The man knows how to make a good game. Only issue with the original was a lack of content due to it's rushed development time, and it's still probably my favorite gamecube game. This game looks like it's getting all the time it needs.

@mystman12 That's good. I trust Sakurai to understand what made the original so great, so I'm sure he prioritized that.

@YunoboCo Wait so is city trial not able to be played on one console with 4 people? If so.... that's a major problem. I haven't seen the direct yet (at work) but the limited videos I've seen have looked amazing. Really concerned if this is true, as the original game was one of my favorite games as a kid.

@sixrings What were you hoping for? I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just curious.

I'm still going to wait. This game needs to be outstanding for me to spend 70 bucks on it.

This is really cute! Although as a kid, I would have probably preferred that the characters were actual wooden figures instead of flat pieces.

Nah. 20 dollars for a bunch of reused assets. The 60 fps sounds good but that should be free.

Excited for fans that are only into Nintendo systems! I suspect that most of these I'll have already played. It sucks because I really do want to support the Switch 2, but rebuying games I've already played, or buying versions that are worse compared to other platforms just isn't worth it to me anymore.

This is all Nintendo's fault full stop. It's their decision to have the cost of cartridges be so incredibly high without eating the costs. Third parties are in it to make money because they are companies. If you want game key cards to stop blame Nintendo, not third parties.

@shoeses What did the leaks say? What are nintendo doing?

@UltimateOtaku91 And I swear games like atelier and y's even have better graphics than Pokemon on switch.

@rvcolem1 Thanks! A meaningful cash grab would be higher effort put into the main games. Instead, pokemon spends a lot on products and collaborations with other companies instead of enhancing their own games. Something like adding voice acting for instance, is a quality of life feature they have never added.

Whatever it is will be a completely meaningless cash grab and will be a demonstration of the enormous amount of money that TPC wastes on side projects instead of making their own games higher quality. But the fans will surely eat it up as always. Maybe I shouldn't have left this comment, because I'm sure no one cares and it's been said so many times before. Oh well, at least this is a nice place to vent.

This is them just asking if we want to buy key cards or digital, how about the option of, WE WANT FULL GAMES ON CART.

All we want is offline MODES. The Splatoon games for example, still have features thet let you play them offline. Monster Hunter also supports solo and local wireless hunts. We just don't want things that are online only.

Nah. Developers should have to include am offline mode for multiplayer, just like the days of xbox 360 and ps3. Always online is BS.

Wonder if this will be a remake where playing the original will be worth it, ala FF7, or if this will just be a nice HD upgrade. I've wanted to play IX for a while, but didn't know whether to wait for the remake or not.

Nah I'm good. I'll sleep until Metroid Prime 4 gets a date.

I think there are a lot of reasons for this. Game Key cards, older games on other platforms, and the expense of the console and Mario kart itself. The appeal of these games being portable is also lost with the advent of portable PC consoles. I know that in my case at least, I'll just buy every third part game on PC anyway if they are just going to be game key cards.

How expensive did Nintendo make these cartridges that companies don't want to use them!?

Not trying to defend the corporations, but gamers act like they NEED the games to survive. If you don't like it, don't buy it. That's the only way to send a message. Otherwise, shut up. I'm just going to buy less games if they're 80 bucks. Simple as that.

@Vyacheslav333 Huh, you know what, you've got a point! Maybe I just shouldn't give them 500 dollars for a Switch 2!

@Vyacheslav333 It's why I now only buy exclusives on Nintendo. I used to buy literally everything on Switch. Not anymore though. Why would I want to have all my games stuck on a closed system? On PC I can have my games on any hardware I want.

Not gonna lie. Every single bit of news released lately makes me less and less excited to buy a new Nintendo console.

@SirAileron I agree with everything you just said. I used to buy everything on the switch. But after discovering the freedom of PC Gaming, I'm pretty much going to only getting first party games on Switch 2. It's a shame, but the price gouging really sucks.

I wonder what time pre orders will start though? Do I need to get up at midnight?

Is this thing even worth Scalping? The margins are so small, it wouldn't be worth it surely?

The prices are indeed insulting for what the system offers. I don't even think 70 is appropriate for essentially ps4 games. I suppose the US tariffs have something to do with this though.

Please just let me order it without having to take off work.

If they sell out after a day, that's fine. But if I literally only have 2 minutes to get one, I will be livid.

Persona or Metaphor characters pleeeeease!?

I agree wholeheartedly. Why limit easy mode to a dumb character like Nabbit? Not that I hate the guy or anything lol. But kids don't know or care about Nabbit's relevance in Mario Bros U.

I will FORE SURE be getting MCC on Switch, simply for the split screen goodness.

I just want to have it revealed so that I can try to get one and then fail because of all of the scalper bots.

I really hope this doesn't end in Sega not using them anymore. I've loved the resurgence of Crush 40 and rock music in Sonic Games again. Lost World to Forces was a dark time for modern sonic fans.
