Fingers crossed they come to the Chicago or Columbus areas because there's no chance I'd be able to go to the two shows they have planned so far.

I've seen more comprehensive levels from a five year old's Mario Maker levels. THIS is what tech bros want us to believe is the future? If so, I'm terrified if they get their way...

All I really know about MySims are the comedic YT videos that PeanuButterGamer made about the series a while back (checks and sees that those were 12 years ago and has a mental breakdown) but if this is true, it's amazing the hoops EA will jump through to avoid porting the mainline Sims games to any Nintendo console since the Wii.

While it's admittedly a little silly seeing Michael Myers agilely hop through side-scroller levels and this style of game probably fits Ash a little bit better, I'm just glad to see classic horror franchises in a video game that isn't Dead By Daylight or yet another Dead By Daylight wannabe.

@Not_Soos I suppose my previous comment had a bit of a tasteless "I knew all along" tone to it, which is not what I intended and I do apologize for that. I guess what I meant more so was when I met her, she seemed to be more tired and disinterested than you would expect (which could have been from anything) and it gave me the vibe that something was bothering her (which I of course did not ask because I thought that would have been boundary crossing) and that the announcement of her cancer diagnosis was a horrible coincidence.

I had the fortune of meeting Rachael Lillis a year ago at a convention where she signed my Jigglypuff amiibo and even before the announcement of her diagnosis, while she was still very nice, I could tell she seemed...tired.
I was really hoping she was simply sleepy from her flight but was heartbroken to hear about her diagnosis a few months later and now this; we lost a legend way too young. RIP Ms. Lillis, you'll never be forgotten.

So basically a model BFG and some download codes? I love DOOM but no thanks.

I mean, that's gonna happen when you barely market a remaster of a 16 year old indie game that has been since usurped from its indie royalty throne by other games that have come out in that time and especially in the case of the Switch version, releasing super late into the life cycle of a system you had basically no established audience on doesn't help either.

Braid's still a decent little game and I respect it for being a trailblazer for indies back in the late 2000s but this remaster was always fighting an uphill battle and Blow is a fool if he thought otherwise.

I don't care if Nintendo wins, I just want the AI tech bros to lose!

First heard about this after Erica Lindbeck said she was going to be in it but didn't know it was actually being spearheaded by the Ray, Max, Robbie (pretty convinced at this point these three share a brain cell) and Amanda; looks like a completely unhinged idea for a dating sim but willing to give it a try just to see how nuts it can get.

This is just so bizarre but if this is an in-house developed horror game, then count me very excited. Last times Nintendo ever dipped their toes into the genre was Eternal Darkness and Fatal Frame but one was externally developed while the other they only published so I'm completely captivated by the idea of a horror game fully from their own minds.

@Ryu_Niiyama Oh, tell me about it; that arcade cabinet was really cool but space and money are such finite resources for me so definitely glad to have console ports instead lol

Do wonder though how Capcom finally worked out a deal with Disney/Marvel to get these console re-releases to happen; wonder if it was as easy as it was for Sakurai to get Sora in Smash by just asking the right person at the right time or if it involved a few more hoops to jump through. Might have possibly also helped to already have a foot in the door with that Marvel 1Up arcade cabinet.

Between this and Luigi's Mansion 2 HD being $60, I WOULD say it's because Nintendo knows they can get away with charging full price for any Mario/Mario-related game...but then Mario vs. DK remake and WarioWare Move It were released not even a year ago at $50 so I don't even know what Nintendo's mindset here is.

As much as I enjoy when box art goes all out featuring a game's core cast, think the North American/European art better captures the more serious/somber tone of the Prime series.

Conker is the pretty obvious choice but I personally would adore if Nightmare Creatures got added.

Not gonna lie, "Violence Killer" actually kind of goes harder than the original title.

Nintendo is mobilizing their C&D as we speak; as we all should see coming from a mile away

As someone who got engaged to their partner while we were cosplaying as Tangle & Whisper from the IDW comics, I might be a little bit bias in saying I'd love to see the IDW characters appear in a mainline game.

Was hoping it'd be at the Shedd Aquarium since I'm close enough to Chicago to make day trips there but guess too bad.

@VinylCreep Hm, quite easy to forget (or rather, not want to remember) that toxic "hardcore games for hardcore gamers" mentality back then. Dark times...

@Fizza Can't help but wonder if the lower average score for the original can be attributed to some of the critics at the time that docked points for it being "too similar" to the original Paper Mario.

North America just because the face Aiai is making on the European box art bothers me...

Hoping the employees of these closed studios are able to find new work at other studios or just in general.
As sad as I am for Tango, I feel really bad for Arkane Austin specifically; they showed they had potential with Prey back in 2017 but then were done dirty being given such little dev time and resources for Redfall which turned out to be a flop and now they're getting shuttered when they didn't stand a chance.
Despite the good-guy persona they try to push among gamers, Microsoft is truly as evil as any other publisher.

A real shame to see another otherwise well received game just getting kneecapped on Switch by the hardware.

Got this game the day it released and absolutely love it. Indie devs have really been killing it with 3D platformers as of late.

Bit of an obvious one that everyone has asked for but WayForward doing a Wario Land game would be a dream come true.

Honestly, unless you're a major diehard fan of the 2012 series (don't get me wrong, I like the show quite a bit myself) and NEED to play a game as those specific versions of the Turtles, I don't see any reason to play this game on Switch when Shredder's Revenge exists, is cheaper and does everything better.

@rjejr Steam and having since getting home and playing the Switch demo since last commenting, I can confirm it's a slightly updated version of the most recent previously relased demo.

@rjejr They've released a few demos for early builds on PC already; this Switch demo is likely either similar to or is a slightly updated version of those in-progess PC demos.

Honestly, I completely forgot about Silksong when Antonblast showed up; I backed this game on Kickstarter and absolutely LOVED the demo they released on PC and have been eagerly awaiting its release since. Will definitely be trying the Switch demo as soon as I get home later today.

That's nice Sega but wake me when it's the Year of Froggy...

Respect the heck out of Baldur's Gate 3, would be playing it obsessively like everyone else if I had the means to, but nobody can convince me that two characters from it being on here is anything other than recency bias.

I mean, like most big companies, Sony tends to be really prideful when it comes to their reputation so I wouldn't be surprised if they looked at the Switch rapidly approaching the PS2's originally provided sales figures and suddenly said it sold even more but that doesn't change that both consoles are fantastic systems and that the sales figures don't matter at the end of the day except to petty fanboys and company executives.

Funny how I just heard of this game in one of NitroRad's videos and he mentioned they should put it on the Switch and now here it is.

Between the debacle of Knights of the Old Republic 2's DLC and now this collection being a complete mess, I don't think I want that Rogue Squadron remaster I've been begging for anymore...

Sega, I beg of you: please give me ports of the NiGHTS duology.

Little disappointed by no Fire Emblem Engage spirits but guess the Smash fandom would have had a conniption at the sight of any more Fire Emblem characters even being referenced.

Which would have been hilarious to watch people lose it over PNGs.

Milhouse Yoshi needs to be charged as a crime against humanity.

I recently received the physical release of Arkham Trilogy for my birthday earlier this month and I haven't even bothered installing Arkham Knight; sounds like that's not about to change any time soon.

I liked the 2012 series quite a bit and this doesn't look too bad but...for thirty dollars when you can get Shredder's Revenge for five less or bundled with the DLC for the same price? Yikes, definitely would be waiting on a sale for this one.

While we have no idea what the game itself is like yet, I loved Legends Arceus despite its shortcomings so the idea of a new Legends game (and NOT rushed out this year) was probably my best case scenario from today's presentation since I honestly don't want any more remakes after BDSP was a total letdown.

Excited to see Epic Mickey get another shot but hopefully the camera was the first thing to be fixed because dear lord, it could get bad in the original release even by 90s 3D platformer standards.

While Rogue Squadron was my personal most wanted Star Wars remaster/enhanced port, the first two Battlefront games returning is still AMAZING news.

I mean, I like Superstars for the most part but it was NOT a $60 game and Sega were fooling themselves thinking it would sell better at that price when even setting aside it and Mario Wonder releasing days apart, Mania and Origins are also still widely available and are considered much more high quality 2D Sonic games at cheaper prices.

Not surprising Pokémon gets a whole wave to itself but admittedly feels a little too much on the safe side when the previous wave had Hades, 13 Sentinels and Power Pros of all things.
Heck, even the first wave had a good mix of new 1st party releases being represented so Scarlet/Violet could have easily shared a wave with, say, Fire Emblem Engage, Mario Wonder, WarioWare Move It or Bayonetta Origins but leave it to Nintendo to roll out the red carpet for Pokémon alone as it stutters and clips through said carpet.

@CapNCrunch Fair enough. xP
Guess despite an actor's previous stance, enough of the almighty dollar is usually enough to sway anyone.

Wouldn't be the same without him so glad he's returning. Toast your goat milk lattes!

Makes me very curious how the script is since he did seem pretty adamant that it had to really like it for him to reprise Eggman.

@bobby_steurer Whatever it is, it better be good and hearty because my SHIP sails IN THE MORNING

@dartmonkey Treat yo self.
