I love love love farming sims. With that being said, I was able to stop my Ambien prescription by playing this. It's really unfortunate since I like the other SoS games.
When AM2R was shutdown, Samus Returns was announced within a year. This makes me wonder if Nintendo is being Nintendo, or we will have incoming news for Prime 4 or a remastered trilogy in the next year. The latter is wishful thinking though.
Digital Nancy Wheeler kinda looks like a barfly going through alcohol withdrawals in that still. Jonathan Byers looks a tad too awake to really emulate Charlie Heaton. Just saying...
Capcom needs to stop with their CG animated movies, especially after releasing games like RE2 Remake, RE3 Remake, and DMC 5. They kinda shot themselves in the foot with the RE Engine, which renders people closer to photo-real; it kinda makes their CG movies obsolete.
I agree 100%. My wife started playing Dragon Quest Builders because she's a creative and she likes RPGs, but always brushed off DQ since neither of us are fans of Toriyama's artwork in anime or games. Next thing you know she's played DQ IX to 100% completion and has over 300 hours logged in Builders 2 where she's currently building Kowloon's Walled City.
Some Metroid-likes are starting to feel like homages to other homages of Metroid. With that being said, I hope we get that Record of Lodoss War Metroidvania that launched on steam this past Spring.
Warehouse (THPS original and remake), Air Man (Mega Man 2), Jungle Hijinxs (DKC), the First 3 Dungeons of Link to the Past, World of Balance - FF VI, Up to the doppelgänger in SOTN.
Does anyone else cringe with how Netherrealms changes every word that starts with an C to a K? I know it's a nitpick, but it just reminds me of the Xtreme '90s
@NEStalgia Agreed, TV usage + summer weather sucks. NIS' optimization is disappointing, especially when Trails of Cold Steel III ran perfectly fine.
Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying Ys IX also and am sure I will enjoy the hell out of MHS2 as well, but after playing things on PS5 at 60 fps, frame dips below 30 fps just make me sad hehe.
I kinda want to bitch about the Metroid Prime trilogy as well, but seeing that Dread was announced and it's imminent arrival, I don't think I can justify it.
@Snatcher I've owned Okami on five different platforms since it's launch in 2006 and I have yet to beat it. The closest I came was on the Switch, but I get about 3/4 into the game and then something else comes out. It's a damn shame.
Having played this on PC, PS4, & PS5, I'm absolutely shocked (and delighted) on how well this port plays on Switch. It clearly has made concessions to run, but none of them are game-breaking.

Re: Rune Factory 5 Release Date Finally Confirmed For Next Year
Man the footage from the direct yesterday looked rough
Re: Talking Point: Remember When People Thought Switch Would Fail?
Never had doubts the Switch would succeed, especially with lessons learned from the WII-U, but it would be nice if it were a bit more powerful.

Re: Feature: Should I Play Story Of Seasons: Pioneers Of Olive Town Now?
I love love love farming sims. With that being said, I was able to stop my Ambien prescription by playing this. It's really unfortunate since I like the other SoS games.

No fifth generation, pixelated, scantily dressed women? I want a refund.
J/K, was pissed I couldn't play it last night. I'm so very excited that I finally get to jump into this gem later tonight.
Re: My Time At Portia Version 3.0 Update Adds New Quests, New NPC And More
@huddyduddy yes and no. The initial load is still longer than sin, but interstitial loading screens such as world-building transitions have shortened.
Re: My Time At Portia Version 3.0 Update Adds New Quests, New NPC And More
I want to love Portia, but it runs like a potato on the Switch. Not much better on PS4 for that matter.
Re: Talking Point: If Nintendo Switch Online Adds Game Boy, Why Not Throw In GBA, Too?
it would be nice to get the original warioware as well since the new entry drops in two weeks
Re: Talking Point: As The Fan-Made 2D Metroid Prime Game Is Shut Down, Where Do You Stand On Nintendo's Takedowns?
When AM2R was shutdown, Samus Returns was announced within a year. This makes me wonder if Nintendo is being Nintendo, or we will have incoming news for Prime 4 or a remastered trilogy in the next year. The latter is wishful thinking though.
Re: Dying Light Platinum Edition Is Heading To Switch
As long as it doesn't run like a potato, I'm down to beat this again.
Re: Slime Rancher's Switch Launch Once Again Shows The Sales Power Of The eShop
I'm absolutely stunned how smoothly this game runs on the Switch, it was optimized really well.
Re: It Looks Like Quake Is Getting Remastered, And It's Coming To Switch
Now give us a Hexen/Heretic remaster and I'll be happy.

Re: Hades Is Getting Its Very Own Power-A Switch Controller
@PJOReilly It happens to the best of us. That is one sexy controller though.
Re: Hades Is Getting Its Very Own Power-A Switch Controller
@Shadeon_Koopa Yeah, it came out in September 2020. Maybe PJ meant it was announced in December 2018 at the Game Awards.
Re: Monster Hunter's New 3D Anime Movie Is Now Streaming On Netflix
Capcom needs to stop with their CG animated movies, especially after releasing games like RE2 Remake, RE3 Remake, and DMC 5. They kinda shot themselves in the foot with the RE Engine, which renders people closer to photo-real; it kinda makes their CG movies obsolete.
Re: Tetris Effect: Connected Is Dropping Onto Nintendo Switch Soon
SO VERY EASILY A DOUBLE DIP FOR ME! One of my favorite PS4/PS5 games.
Re: Feature: 20 Super NES Classics Nintendo Should Bring To Switch Online
@nessisonett You win the comments. I'd love to torture my wife with the Hong Kong '97 soundtrack.
Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase To Air Tomorrow, 11th August
@Zach777 This is probably the most accurate prediction.
Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase To Air Tomorrow, 11th August
Clearly it will be 20 minutes of Bayonetta 3 gameplay
Re: Soapbox: Spin-Offs Can Be A Way In Rather Than A Sell-Out
I agree 100%.

Re: Random: This Vintage Metroid Cosplay Is Terrible, And We Absolutely Love It
this is all true art.
Re: Moonrider Is A Project That Has 16-Bit Strider And Shinobi Vibes
Blazing Chrome was fun and this looks rad. The art design reminds me of the brutally difficult SNES title, Hagane.
Re: Feature: The History Of Streets Of Rage
All of the original cover-art should be on the "Good Faces" twitter account lol.
Re: Metroidvania 'Enter Digiton: Heart Of Corruption' Explores Switch eShop Next Week

Re: Talking Point: Which Game Stage Have You Replayed More Than Any Other?

Re: Capcom Has Released A Day-One Update For Monster Hunter Stories 2
Still runs better than Ys IX....

Re: Review: Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin - A Franchise Riding High
As long as it's not slide-showy like Ys IX, I'm fine with it.
Re: Review: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 - A Rock Solid Switch Port For A Pair Of Pros
Great. I nearly broke my dual sense on this one, now I'll be tempted to nearly break my joy cons.
Re: Talking Point: What's That One Switch Game You Can't Bring Yourself To Delete?
DQ Builders 2, easily. I've dumped 200+ hours into it.
Re: Nintendo Doesn't Have Anything Else Planned For Zelda's 35th Right Now
I kinda want to bitch about the Metroid Prime trilogy as well, but seeing that Dread was announced and it's imminent arrival, I don't think I can justify it.
Re: Poll: How Hyped Are You For Nintendo's E3 Direct?
I'd be stoked for a new Switch model, but honestly after the PS5, the thought of the pre-order hell I went through is triggering some PTSD.

Re: Fast-Paced RTS Death Crown Lands On Switch Next Week
This isn't my speed of RTS, but I hope the game succeeds, the art direction is awesome... to look at. I don't know if I would want to play it.
Re: Random: Boy Has To Choose Between Nintendo Switch And Pizza, Chooses Pizza
Good for this kid, either he really loves pizza or is developing a culinary interest at a young age. either way, he's doing the right thing.
Re: Random: The Internet Goes Wild For "Rockstar" Shigeru Miyamoto
Remember that story of him smoking cigarettes in the room with the Starfox guys, rambling about trees? This picture helps me visualize it.

Re: The Latest Update For Borderlands 2 On Nintendo Switch Is Crashing The Game
@HotGoomba___Rebrand I was thinking the same thing regarding BL 3 since this DLC is supposed to serve as a bridge between 2 & 3.
