That sounds good! Can’t wait to eventually grab it and try it for myself… after I beat the original.

Antonblast and Diesel Legacy

I officially do not understand why people got so excited for this app.

Oh well, Strive’s gonna Strive.

Goes back to playing Accent Core +R

DLC and a remake should NOT be nominated for GOTY

Yeah, TGA is officially a joke lol

That’s cool and all, but only one soundtrack a week is too long of a drip feed.

Seriously, Nintendo can put out so much more across all of the games they’ve made! I’m still gonna rely on YouTube for Nintendo music

They have to be doing a new collection or something. Since Sega’s delisting Dreamcast and Saturn games from Steam and Xbox, I wonder if they’ll release new and improved retro collections when the Switch’s successor inevitably drops.

Please let Digital Eclipse be involved in them, too!

Will be mostly playing Sonic x Shadow Generations, but I would like to make more progress in the Link’s Awakening remake.

I was initially interested in Clock Tower Rewind… until I learned Future Club helped with the new “anime” art.

I’m not supporting them after what they’ve done to Skullgirls.

The new Metal Slug game looks great, though! I’ll certainly get that eventually.

I will certainly use it. It’s nice to finally have official means to listening to Nintendo music.

However, the current lineup of music is not enough! Nintendo has to bring out more music pronto if they want me to use it over YouTube, and I don’t mean drip feed soundtracks ala NSO retro games.

No drip feeding.
NO
FLIPPING
DRIP FEEDING!!!

@TimeGuy I’m against censorship, but my religion tells me that pornography is bad. Fan service in video games and videos on [insert naughty site here] are two completely different things.

As someone who is very anti-censorship, I’m not too worried about the changes made here. I’m just grateful that of all stories to be rewritten / reanimated (I guess), it was Generations. The story even in the original version was a whole load of nothin, so it doesn’t really affect the experience for me.

What I am worried about is how future remasters / remakes of Sonic games will go down. Can you imagine an Adventure 1 remake with a “modernized” Amy Rose? Or what about that rumored Heroes remaster?

Already playing on Xbox One!

Going to be playing Sonic 1 and maybe CD via Origins Plus while waiting for Sonic X Shadow Generations later this week. I will also be continuing my adventure in the Link’s Awakening remake. I got the second instrument needed to wake the Wind Fish.

I’ll also maybe check out some games that came out this week, like Blazing Strike and Neva.

That’s cool, still won’t make me upgrade tho

I’ll be doing some achievement hunting as the Noise in Pizza Tower. I was able to do the Halloween event and nab the exclusive skins for both Noise and Peppino, so I believe I now have all of the costumes!

I went back to Sonic Frontiers and tried to wrap up the Final Horizon before Sonic x Shadow Generations comes out in a few weeks. I like playing as the other characters, but I may prefer the base ending a bit more. I’m at the King’s trial right now. 🫠 I’d like to beat Sonic Adventure 2 before Shadow Gens comes out as well.

And still making my way through Shredder’s Revenge as Mondo Gecko, with the new soundtrack

I concur with the Ghandi pfp, this looks amazing! Can’t wait to pick this one up

@LadyCharlie Does it match with the original creators’ vision?
No

Does it respect the legacy of Akira Toriyama?
No

I’ve already expressed my thoughts on the censorship / type A and B thing, so I’ll just say that it’s so nice knowing the actual creators agree that this is silly.

I wasn’t expecting them to be so profound about it, though

The official creators said something about the censorship.

I would like to play Link’s Awakening first before getting Echoes of Wisdom. I want to finish at least one traditional 2D Zelda game just so I know what I’m getting into gameplay wise.

Other than that, I’ll be playing with the new DLC for Shredder’s Revenge, as well as doing some achievement / outfit hunting in Pizza Tower.

@Jhena Orchestrated is where it’s at

@johnedwin There is new story content centered around the protagonist’s ancestor

@the_beaver I understand where you’re coming from, but I just think the censorship is very disrespectful to Toriyama. And I agree with you, the game does look very good, and that’s coming from someone who isn’t as big of a fan of this “HD-2D” style Square Enix has been doing to a lot of their more recent titles(with the exception of Octopath, obviously!). However, all of the discourse surrounding this game, including stuff that is not censorship, have really soured my interest in the DQIII remake, and that’s a huge shame because it was the only thing I was asking for going into the June Direct. I initially preordered it, but I cancelled it and am now thinking about getting a used copy later next year, after playing the original, of course.

@DripDropCop146 also, outside of character designs, they changed the color of the trolls’ lips to be not pink anymore, likely due to its resemblance to a certain demographic

@DripDropCop146 a lot of character designs have been toned down compared to the original versions, especially the females. For instance, the fem warrior has these weird looking shorts covering her waist region. There should be images out there comparing the designs for the remake vs the original, but that is the most notable example

@Samalik That’s Strive for ya, buddy.

Aside from maybe a release date for the first episode of Dark Beginnings, I won’t get my hopes up too much for this

I’m currently trying to get all P- Ranks as The Noise in Pizza Tower. Currently on floor 3. I also picked up a copy of the Link’s Awakening Remake yesterday. I might play that before getting Echoes of Wisdom.

How about instead of filing a lawsuit over a 9 month old game, Nintendo puts more budget into Game Freak so we can get good Pokémon games again?

I really like Children of the Atom’s presentation. The animations are also very smooth, nearly of Street Fighter 3’s quality!

I don’t know if this is for me, but regardless, HUGE win for preservation right here!

I do not support AI replacing artists, translators, voice actors, or any other job that a human can easily do.

However, AI can, and absolutely should, replace localizers.

I downloaded Pizza Tower on my Switch the day of the direct! It’s fun playing it on a bigger screen. I got up to the fourth floor, with all secrets, treasures, and toppins so far. In case you all didn’t know, I’ve already played this game quite a few times on my laptop.

I’ll also get the Castlevania Dominus Collection, as well as take advantage of some sales going on right now, like the Metal Gear collection and Ultimate MvC 3, the latter on my Xbox.

Well, it’s official. Mid is actually coming to the Switch

Not quite interested in Strive (I already have the OG and Accent Core Plus R on Switch), but I am aware of how popular this game is among new players. Happy for those who get the opportunity to give this one a whirl.

ArcSys plz plz plz bring Xrd to Switch

@Hee-ho-master Safe, boring character designs compared to previous titles, and very simplified gameplay. There aren’t even insta kill moves anymore

@Vyacheslav333 I would really like to see Xrd on there, I heard that’s the best one

I really liked this presentation! I kept my expectations low and only asked for an official MvC collection release date, so I was very surprised when I saw that the digital versions were coming in A FEW WEEKS! I suppose I will just have to double dip on this one, as I’ve already had the physical version preordered for a few months now.

Everything aside from that was a bonus. Sea of Stars DLC, Suikoden 1 and 2 remasters, ANOTHER Capcom Fighting Collection with Capcom vs SNK 2, Trails in the Sky remake, and PIZZA TOWER SWITCH PORT SHADOW DROP!! I think Nintendo should combine Partner and Indie showcases into one show more often. This was great! 9/10

@Samalik Knowing modern Capcom, it very likely will be. I know some stuff in the first collection is censored, but I haven’t played the games quite enough to notice everything that was changed. After the MvC and Fighting 2 Collections drop, those will probably be the final new things I purchase from Capcom.

Yeah, censorship sucks (even as a fundamental concept) but I’ve been longing for ways to play Marvel vs Capcom 2 and Capcom Vs SNK 2 for so long that I can’t boycott these releases, I’m even double dipping on the MvC one and getting both digital and physical copies for preservation purposes

I managed to play GRIS this year and really enjoyed my time with it! I’ll definitely get this at some point

I’m really trying to keep my expectations low here, but a two-in-one direct is insane! I would love to see an official release date for the MvC Collection

I’m going to try to make more progress in a few games I’ve been chipping away at. In Vernal Edge, I’m trying to explore different islands to see where I need to go or what to do next. I recall exploring the debris island and getting stuck on a fight. I would also like to play a few more missions in Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit.

In SNK vs Capcom: SVC Chaos, I got the good endings for Ken Masters and Ryo Sakazaki, the latter on my first try, surprisingly!

And on Xbox, continuing with Sonic Adventure 2. I started the dark story and played up to Security Hall.

I’m 99 percent sure they’re just gonna save it for the Switch’s successor at this point

I’ve been playing Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (DS version) via Delta this week, mainly the Adventure Tours campaign mode. It was likely due to the Olympics being on at the time I started, but the game is still just as good as I remember! The worlds (and their themes) are fun and memorable, plus the writing is fairly decent, nothing too over the top. I still have 2 more Snow Spirits to save.

I also started Super Mario RPG last weekend and got the first of the seven stars. Mallow is such a funny, cute lil guy! I hope to get the second star this week.

Other than that, I’ll be continuing my DOOM playthrough, as well as attempting to hone my skills as Ken (or Ryu) in SvC Chaos.

Fantastic news!! Tango deserves to stay in business with all of the hits they’ve made. Hopefully this will lead to Hi Fi Rush being on the Switch’s successor in the future

@somnambulance May I ask, what are your thoughts on X5 and X6?

@Lightsiyd I like all of them, but if I were to rank them from most enjoyed to least…

1=4>2>3

Again, I love all of them, but I really recommend the first and fourth entries
