Welp, add that to the list of games I'm not buying. I'll just load of borderlands 3 on switch 2 which I bought for $15 a while ago and never touched. I found a way to make that happen 🫠
Looks fun enough. Ill keep an eye on it. Speaking of kickstarter. Whatever happened to that Hazelnut Bastille "zelda-like." I remember it getting some attention back in 2018-2019 and I was all hyped for it. I even recall they were supposed to make a spin off 8 bit version to keep people entertained until it actually released, that also never happened. Checked the website, and there's no updates, so I sent them an email asking what the latest is. Im always weary of Kickstarter.
On switch- Oracle of Ages for a replay. Love the dungeon design of this game, i dont love all the steps necessary to get to the dungeons though. It's quite long and tedious flipping back and forth between times and talking with so many different npcs. Still a classic though.
On xbox- only Clair Obscur. Still adoring this game. When you finally demolish certain bosses because you've fiddled with pictos, luminous, and skills, it's just pure gold.
After dropping a couple zelda-like games that weren't really grabbing me, I decided to play the real deal again for a replay. So on switch, I'm playing Oracle of Ages and first dungeon down. As well RetroMania story mode.
On Xbox, Wwe 2k24 and Clair Obscur which is my big game. I'll probably fire up Mullet MadJack as well.
@Tasuki I've been looking forward to it. Reminds me of wwf royal rumble and wrestlemania back on the Genesis that I used to play. I'm familiar with most of the characters but I mostly bought it for the road warriors.
Not really all that interested in cyber punk, but with that fact that they're doing it right, I may just show the support and buy that as my 3rd party game.
After the initial high I had, much like the switch 1 presentation, it's sort of soured for me. Pricing, upgrades, digital key codes, you name it all bother me. To be clear, I don't mind the console price even though I was hoping for $450. But I can't justify the 80 price tag, I wouldn't even pay that for a new zelda. Having said all that, I'll still be lined up to buy it as soon as I can, being a massive nintendo fan. I'll just be picky and choosie with my game purchases from here on out to make a statement.
Being mad about tariffs but not American tax dollars going to wasteful means is crazy to me. Not going to list it all, but go look at the DOGE website for clarification. It's disgusting what our money was being wasted on. Robbed blind for 4 years. Gaming is just a hobby which is my favorite btw, but I can wait on switch 2. Hopefully the tariff situation gets better in the short term and prices come back down.

Re: Marvelous USA Confirms Its Switch 2 Physical Releases Will Contain The "Full Game"
@pikachupikachup I'm confused. Didn't people report it was a key card release? Then marvelous had to come out and state they're not using key cards.
Re: Marvelous USA Confirms Its Switch 2 Physical Releases Will Contain The "Full Game"
Crazy how fast false information got spread

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (19th April)
Pretty much just xenoblade chronicles x still. I did buy RetroMania Wrestling in the sale so I'll play a little of that too.

Re: Hands On: Should 'Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Be A Pack-In Game?

@Galaxy2IsTheGOAT that was my thought exactly. What a ridiculous comment "while supplies last."
Re: Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle Will Be A "Limited Time" Offer
Oh boy. This is really gonna blow. I'm only getting MKW with that bundle. I'm just not paying $80 for it. I'll play something else if I have to.
