@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.
This weekend, I got all achievements in the Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy on Steam. I got some games during the Steam Summer sale last week, including Just Shapes and Beats, DOOM 2016, and Antonblast. I will grab some more games before it ends this week, including Persona 5 Royal (and maybe Strikers), since I initially sold both of my Switch copies for those games.
DOOM 2016 and Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back on Steam Deck, Smash Ultimate and Mario Kart 8 DX on Switch, and maybe some Mario Kart DS elsewhere.
At least Steve is a video game character, what’s with this American cartoon nonsense?! And the TMNT aren’t even their classic versions, it sounds like they’re gonna be from that fugly new movie. Hopefully you can purchase each character / set separately.
Likely Smash Ultimate on Switch, and either Crash Bandicoot via the N Sane Trilogy or Sonic x Shadow Generations on Deck. I’ll maybe snag Red Dead Redemption while it’s on discount before the Steam Summer Sale, but we’ll see, checking account permitting
Hope everyone who has or is getting a Switch 2 soon enjoys it! Personally, between my Switch, Steam Deck, and Delta, I’m honestly more set for gaming than ever.
This month, I fired up a new Breath of the Wild save file, but I’m playing with the Japanese voices this time around. I also want to go a bit more out of my way to do more side quests and explore more of what the game has to offer. I already rescued Vah Ruta and Vah Medoh, and I'm currently about to get the Master Sword.
Other than that, I’ll be playing Balatro and Sonic x Shadow Generations, both doing achievement hunting on Steam Deck.
@Zeebor15 You can even get banned from tourneys and events for simply having views that everyone else are against, it’s so annoying, not to mention all of the damage the FGC’s done to games like Skullgirls and Dead or Alive via censorship

Re: Sonic "Love Letter" Rollin' Rascal Announced For Switch 2
@rvcolem1 makes me think of what happened with Them’s Fightin Herds. Only 1 chapter and BOOM. Game’s gone. Reduced to atoms

Glad to see the console’s doing well. Hope everyone who has one is enjoying it so far!

@VoidPunk Well, nobody knows about things like the Steam Deck or ROG Ally X… everyone and their mom knows about Nintendo😂

Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong "Special Announcement" Is Coming This Thursday
@RupeeClock At this rate, I think a game with THIS much hype behind it is too big for a direct or Geoff K show. It will steal the entire thing

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.

Re: Round Up: The Previews For Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake Are In
@blodermoder The following text is from the character creator when you start a new save file in the actual game:
“Are you happy with your choice? You would play as a hero with Appearance A and a heroine with Appearance B.”
What’s the point of referring to the player as a Type A or Type B when the game says you’re a male or female in the same text box?
