Continuing with Silksong. I don’t know whether to beat the final boss and start a new 100 percent or speedrun playthrough, or collect everything I can to still try to get 100 percent.
I’ll also continue to grind Abyss Mode in Rivals of Aether. The only characters I have left to get to level 10 (outside of Workshop characters) are Clairen, Etalus, Ori, and Shovel Knight.
@KidSparta My favorite part of the series was when Ash and Isabelle yelled “These are our New Horizons” as they defeated Tom Nook using the power of their Pokémon
I’ll definitely play more Silksong… I did “finish” the game, but I’m exploring a lot more to get into Act 3 and finding more bosses and stuff I missed. I’ll also try out the recent Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 rerelease on Steam.
@OorWullie I do like how this game looks, and I plan on trying it out eventually since I like Dotemu. That being said, I’m getting a little tired of every game (especially indies) trying to ride off of Balatro’s success and be a rougelite or have elements from them. Heck, the new Donkey Kong game now has a rougelike mode with its DLC!
I have nothing wrong with simple, straightforward arcade action like Shredder’s Revenge. Again, I’m excited to try this game, but I just feel like the indie games market is becoming really oversatirated with rougelikes. And this is coming from someone who likes Dead Cells, Enter the Gungeon, and especially Balatro
@NinjaWaddleDee There FOMO practices and ridiculous pricing are very anti consumer, I’m angered how big companies like Sega, Falcom, and Wayforward are relying on them.
And this was all before they wrongfully fired Kara Lynne
@MathByThePixel you know, why does everything have to be a rougelike or have rougelike elements? It feels like that’s what a lot of indie studios are putting out these days…
@Vyacheslav333 if I recall correctly, you can play Dreamcast versions of some games like MvC2 and Vampire Savior on Fightcade… I may need to double check that. It’s been a while since I’ve used it bc of school and other games
@Vyacheslav333 Even Skullgirls fell off with their DLC and everything that came after it. Aside from Under Night 2 and City of the Wolves (I really like SNK / Fatal Fury), I only really play old fighting games now.
@Riverlution as someone who did play the OG Hollow Knight, I’m not having too much trouble so far. I just beat Moorwing last night. Still, I don’t care too much about this, as long as folks are still having fun
@Anachronism Even if it was over $20, Silksong might be the last game I ever purchase day one, let alone at full price. Every single game I’ve purchased this year has been on sale, and I’m trying to make my purchases be an average of $20 per game.
I tried Hollow Knight in early - mid 2021, but I didn’t quite click with it. Went back to it later that year, and since then, I purchased the game on Switch (both digital and physical), and got all Steam achievements. I recently started a new save file to test out the game when I got my Steam Deck this summer… I probably should go back and replay the game, just so I know what I’m getting into when I inevitably play Silksong.
I will get it on Steam, but if there are physical copies coming for Switch, I will get it in a heartbeat!
Ultrakill and Balatro are on my radar this weekend. I’d like to take advantage of the EVO sale on Steam and grab some fighters on a deep discount, especially the new Fatal Fury!
@shonenjump86 Speaking realistically, after the MvC Collection and especially Marvel Rivals, Psylocke would be a money printer for Dotemu if they put her in the game
I’ve been doing some achievement hunting lately on the Steam version of Skullgirls 2nd Encore. All I have left to do are the combo trials and the challenges.

I’m not surprised by this. Sonic isn’t anywhere near as popular in Japan as it is in the west.

Re: Marvel Vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Sells 1 Million Copies
@liljmoore Are there any modern equivalents to fighting games like that?
Re: Marvel Vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Sells 1 Million Copies
@IceClimbersMain SvC Chaos is still fun, despite its brokenness. I still can’t believe that game was brought back
Re: Marvel Vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Sells 1 Million Copies
@Vyacheslav333 While you can play a lot of old fighting games via Fightcade, it is nice to have official collections.
I have Fightcade myself on my laptop. Very easy to install and use!

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 For Switch?
Two Wii rereleases with minimal new content for the price of one modern AAA game.
For the same price (before tax), you could get Hollow Knight: Silksong, UFO 50, and all five mainline Shovel Knight games via Treasure Trove.
The answer is clear as day!

Silksong for me this weekend! Just finished act 1 last night.

Re: Nintendo Switch Console & Accessory Prices Are Going Up In The US
Yeah, I doubt this has anything to do with tariffs. Nintendo is using that as a scapegoat and are raising prices because they can.
I can see why NL usually disables comments on these types of articles, most people are blaming the wrong thing.
