I just think it's a bit weird how link is roughly modeled after twilight princess and Zelda is modeled after BOTW because there's are two different games with different art styles but overall this looks pretty good i would have chosen the more modern TOTK and BOTW styles so that could match a bit better but that's just a matter of personal taste.

Hmmm I'm not really sure how I feel about this new design for yoshi because on one hand it looks pretty cool and pretty fateful to the original source material (for the most part) and on the other hand it looks a tad bit uncanny valley vibes mainly in those eyes and something else feels off but I can't really place my finger as to why that is but I just hope that this movie is of a decent quality like the 1st movie if not a little bit better because while I like the 1st one I just hope it adds on to the in movie universe and elevates to the next level like a sequel should do.

I picked the JA version since it's better version mainly because the NA and EU versions have ugly design choices or changes made to them.

I kinda sorta like both versions here but the JA version is my pick for this week because it's just an interesting variant of basically the same cover art as the NA and EU versions mainly because it gives me super animal crossing galaxy vibes lol 😆.

@Solid_Python Ah okay thanks for that little bit of information now I'm definitely going to get this at somepoint in the future.

Ehh I could care less about the online stuff but is there any audio or input lag during offline play though 🤔?????

I tried the steam demo a while back ago and instantly loved it i just love the fact that in this game you can select 2 heros at once and swap between them on the fly is so cool I wish more beat em up games did this feature my only complaints are that some of my favorite characters aren't in the roster yet but hey maybe in a future dlc pack or something they could show up.

This was too easy but I can see a few of them being tricky to answer such as the Duck Tails 2 cover.

Honestly both covers are just god awful because there's just tiny little minor details across both covers that just give me so much uncanny valley vibes times 10. For example in the NA/EU cover, the main man of this Franchise Terry looks so bootleg looking in his facial expression it's just so off putting and the guy getting punched in the face his whole backside proportions look werid essentially his neck skin it looks off and I can't place it why it feels wrong looking to me. Now as for Japanese cover same thing but a little less uncanny valley vibes but man those facial expressions on a few of these characters here look so goofy and hard to take it seriously. As for my ultimate pick on this poll, I picked the NA/EU covers despite my criticisms i still think the overall vibe is just pure 90's fighting game energy and I gotta respect it for that.

"The game's last free update added cross-save to the Switch version back in June 2025. And in April, Square Enix teamed up with Square Enix to make a SaGa-themed DLC."

I think i found an typeo here in the last portion of the article.

Rare case where both versions are great in their own unique ways. I personally picked the NA version just because it screams pure 90's video game box art.

@FishyS Yeah I guess that makes sense it just kinda strikes me as werid when I 1st saw the categories though.

Why is a controller listed as gaming hardware it's just a controller it's not a game system. Better yet why not just add a best controller category or something like that.

Sometimes people with ai just wanna watch the world burn. I know this is technically classified as a parody but it's still made using Ai and technically doesn't give credit to the original copyright owners so it's kinda bad but not as bad but still Ai has way to many gray areas surrounding it.

(Ok but side note the saving private Pikachu was really hilarious to me )

I'm waiting for the true virtual boy experience with the new upcoming update to Antonblast and with that new update being added it's basically the same thing as the wario land game for the VB. And also I'm really not interested in the whole NSO service as a whole honestly 😒.

Europe for sure on this one because it's shows a much more colorful and vibrant background which is more in line with what I expect with this game series compared to the boring white background with the red crayon scribbles all over the place in the Japanese version.

@RiasGremory True 👍

@Oldstalk Well yes but digital still has its limits to when it comes to the whole way the digital store fronts are managed these days and all of the constant delistings of games.

@DonkeyKongBigBoy Yeah I guess that kinda makes sense from where you stand.

@Olmectron It's a typeo I meant physical is a heck of a lot better than digital

@Olmectron I know that but nothing has to last forever I'm making a point that physical is a heck of a lot better than physical even with the limitations. Because sometimes digital isn't all that better than physical.

@Olmectron I know but that still doesn't mean it's gonna last forever

I can't wait for this update because I already love this game as it is but this is just incredible i love it when indie dev teams make jabs at werid little niche items as this it brings joy to me since I consider my self a historian when it comes to video games 🎮.

@DonkeyKongBigBoy I honestly will probably keep playing my switch and my other nintendo systems such as my wii and game boy color until they either break or until the world ends because these systems provide so much joy to me personally so why stop playing what you like when something bad or negative happens surrounding it honestly just ignore the bad stuff around systems and just focus on having fun with them .

Honestly both digital and physical items BOTH HAVE LIFESPANS. In terms of digital items it's usually a much shorter lifespan depending on the product in question here if it's something like a licensed game (Examples- The John Wick game that was delisted a while back ago/ The Deadpool game (also sadly delisted)/ The Actvision TMNT games and Transformers games/etc...) it's usually not very surprising when it basically gets deleted from digital store fronts mostly due to the license of what ever franchise (Or music) Game Publisher wants to terminate it for business purposes and etc. Now compare that to physical lifespans which tend to last a while longer if proper care is taken into account when storing these products you get way much more satisfaction knowing that any game publishers or studios can't yank it away from you unless it's over you dead body and, I also honestly feel like Masakazu Sugimori comments here on this very topic are very poorly thought out here .

SMG1 for me because I've played SMG2 already on wii but never got the chance to play the 1st game 🎮 so I'll probably pick it up when there's a decent enough sale going on for it hopefully.

I like the Japanese version because it gives off the late 70s and early 80s action b movie 🎬 vibes to me and also any early contra game with an Arnold look a like is just pure classic contra design right there.

I feel like an honorable mention should go out to both Grapple Dog and it's sequel Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines for the swinging mechanics as it's insanely satisfying using a grappling hook to swing and jump around the levels.

This weekend I'm gonna try to continue my replay through of a hat in time I'm hoping to finish off the dlc areas mainly the metro because that's honestly my favorite area in the game alongside the battle of the birds chapter and the subcon forest. And I mabye try the arctic cruise 🛳 area for a bit.

I didn't really mind the talking flowers in the actual game but I'm not so sure about this thing honestly the fact that they actually made the flowers marketable is honestly kinda strange to me because I feel like it's only gonna attract a very niche group of people who like to own werid nintendo merch like this.

@progx I was talking about the whole era of amiibo as a whole from the intintal starting craze to where we're are now a sorta retrospective if you will.

This is just insane how far we have come with the whole amiibo craze back then they were cool novelty items for collectors and causal gamers now there just kinda there in the store fronts like honestly there's nothing to be excited about anymore with these amiibo announcements especially with the more gimmick heavy ones such as these with the interchangeable base parts and pretty soon nintendo is just gonna run out of ideas to keep the amiibo hype/money train going anymore so I honestly feel like nintendo should just stop with the amiibos cause there just not as cool as they used to be and especially at the insane price point of 50 bucks separately and 100 bucks all together.

@Zuljaras Oh okay well that's a relief then I was just asking since it's wasn't really made all that clear in the article now I'm definitely picking this up in the future.

What does it mean when the article says "Switch 2 Edition will be fully on the cartridge" does that mean half the games are missing on the switch 1 version because if that's the case then that's a huge no buy for me man.

I already own Galaxy 2 on wii but I have still yet to try out Galaxy 1 at this point it's better to just get both games on will instead of tossing out 70 bones for the collection.

Ok now this has officially gone way to far man it's not like nintendo even invented this certain game mechanic as far as I know but like come on man what's next nintendo is gonna sue every game corporations for using basic general game mechanics or something stupid like that.

Well at least it's better than nothing I suppose 🤷

Europe for me this week because I like the full moon background esthetics

Interesting concept but just not well executed from things that I've seen.

I'm sure this will go down well in the court room against the big n .

Mr X would be proud of them using his last name in so way different ways

(Crappy streets of rage joke aside yeah this does kinda seem to be overused .)

I picked the JA version since the background looks nicer compared to the NA version ugly grass texture in the background but that's really not saying that much because I honestly think the duel is a draw since neither are really that special.

This looks interesting

Man I'm kinda spilt on this one this week because I like the NA and JP covers equally for different reasons for starters with the NA cover i like the whole mine cart style because it gives off DKC 1 vibes which i kinda like and then the Japanese version is cool because it's shows off all the cool cast of characters way better than the EU version in my opinion but ultimately I picked the JA version because it's the more interesting out of the 3 but that's not to say the NA version is bad either mind you.

I honestly just want the key chain for some strange reason and also wasn't the PS1 game also supposed to be included here in the collection because it's not mentioned in the included games list if I'm not mistaken 🤔

I hope this game turns out to be great based on the current footage here.

Overall this was pretty good compared to the snore fest of the partner show case . I'm really excited to try out UFO 50 and also Mina.

Realistically they probably just gonna do a few switch 2 updates to certain mario games on switch 1 with a few new bells and whistles added. I'm thinking maybe switch 2 updates of mario wonder with a few badge challenges and mario marker 2 with mouse mode and a few new themes and stuff like that. But we'll just have to wait and see because trying to predict nintendos next major move is like trying to predict the lucky numbers in the lottery .

I played the game before the updates to 60 FPS and stuff like that and while yes some stages chugged hard on FPS it still wasn't all that much of a deal breaker to me since the gameplay and music is really good.

I picked the NA version because it looks more official as a GBA game compared to the JP version which looks like a werid bootleg version but to fair saying that the NA version is the best is really not saying that much because both covers kinda suck in their own respective ways.
