I’ll probably give Palworld a whirl come next payday and see what all the fuss is about. Till then I’m playing Vampire Survivor’s Emergency Meeting and maybe head back into Pokémon Legends Arceus.
I WAS gonna dive into Apollo Justice Collection but my copy got backlogged :/
If they have a case built on hard evidence, then Palworld rightfully deserves to be taken legal action against. If not, then everyone can go about their merry way.
As others have said, if they had a case they would’ve made one the minute it hit digital shelves. I think this is more of an obligated response due to all of the bickering over the past week.
Pokémon needs a healthy development cycle first and foremost. I don’t think taking ideas from a game that’s already taking its fair share is what they need.
I’m 80% sure this year will finally be the year Switch 2 is announced. But if we get like a big 3D Mario title for next Direct then we’ll definitely be stuck with the old toaster for another year.
It is a freaking nightmare navigating the eShop thanks to the slop that drowns out all the good stuff. The next gen console or whatever it is NEEDS actual quality control.
Trepang2! Feels like a long lost 360 game in the best way possible. I’ll probably also head back into FF16’s new game plus now that the first half of the DLC is out. The game is a heck of a lot better on a higher difficulty and skipping every mind numbing cutscene.
One that comes to mind is Cave Story’s moon logic to get the true ending. Why yes, I should ignore the dying old man who just fell in a pit! Fantastic game otherwise.
Kinda bummed there wasn’t an update on Freedom Planet 2 (which is still Winter 2023 apparently???) or Laika. But it did have On Your Tail which looks pretty interesting, and Chimera Blade too.
Probably gonna pick up Backpack Hero when that comes later today.

Re: Random: It's Been 5 Years Since Metroid Prime 4 Was Rebooted
I hope we’ll have a timeframe for whenever this game releases. It’s starting to feel like a collective mass hallucination at this point.

Re: Random: Former Nintendo Employees Kit & Krysta Share Their Initial Reaction To Palworld
It is amazing how much stuff you can write about a “cute thing with gun” game.
Re: Round Table: Let's Talk About Palworld - Comparisons, Controversy, 'Copying'
There sure are a lot of articles for a game that may not even land on a Nintendo console.
Re: Surprise! Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Is Getting Even More New Spirits
Might have to redownload Smash again for those PNGs and I mean that with zero sarcasm.
Re: Freedom Planet 2 Locks In An April Release Date On Switch
FIIIINNNAAAALLLLYYYY
Re: Yes, Nintendo Is Aware Of Palworld's Existence
I wouldn’t be surprised if an update suddenly altered some of the models to make them more distinct.
Re: Random: Persona 3 Reload On Switch? "The Idea Is There" Says Director
Shame since it’ll fit the handheld pretty well.
Re: UK Charts: Prince Of Persia Starts Strong While Another Code Struggles To Make A Splash
Glad to see Prince of Persia get some recognition.
Re: Soapbox: Game Freak Could Actually Learn A Thing Or Two From Palworld
Pokémon needs a healthy development cycle first and foremost. I don’t think taking ideas from a game that’s already taking its fair share is what they need.
Re: Feature: The Stunning Visual Delights Of 'El Shaddai', Inspired By Apple iPod Commercials
I always wanted to play this during the X360 era so I’m glad they’re bringing it back!
And as others have mentioned there is a pretty, uh, unfortunate typo near the beginning of the article.
Re: Talking Point: Which Feature From Each Smash Bros. Game Should Make A Return?
I get why they went with the Spirits in ultimate, but trophies need to make a comeback. Oh, and classic mode too.
Re: Pokémon Fans Set Their Sights On Palworld's Monster Designs
This is game still looks like an absolute fever dream.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 13th)
Just kinda waiting until PoP to release at this point.
Re: Konami Is Bringing Back Rocket Knight Adventures And Felix The Cat
Hopefully the emulation is up to snuff.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 6th)
On my second playthrough of Lies of P. As hard and fun as ever.
Re: UK Charts: Mario Wonder Takes Silver, But Nabs The Single-Format Xmas No. 1
Seems like the Hogwarts Legacy’s Switch port is paying off nicely.
Re: Talking Point: Our 2024 Nintendo Gaming Predictions
I’m 80% sure this year will finally be the year Switch 2 is announced. But if we get like a big 3D Mario title for next Direct then we’ll definitely be stuck with the old toaster for another year.
Re: Talking Point: Could Nintendo Go Another Year Without A Switch Successor?
I’m in the camp that it’s time to move on.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Ports We'd Love To See In 2024
BG3 would make the Switch into a pipe bomb. Maybe next console if Nintendo lent a hand getting it to work.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (Christmas 2023 Edition)
Probably not a whole not before Christmas cause of work. I do want to give the Dad of War games another shot though.
Re: WTF: What Exactly Is This Switch eShop Garbage, Nintendo?
It is a freaking nightmare navigating the eShop thanks to the slop that drowns out all the good stuff. The next gen console or whatever it is NEEDS actual quality control.
Re: Sea Of Stars Has Reached More Than 4 Million Players In 4 Months
I’ll play it once it hits physical. Still got plenty to get through in the meanwhile.
Re: Sea Of Stars Developer Sabotage Replacing 'The Completionist' NPC
Man. His videos were a fun time. Shame what came to light.
Re: Your 'Nintendo Switch Year In Review 2023' Stats Are Available Now
No surprise Theaterhyrhm is my most played, clocking in about 70 hours. This year’s been quite a bit on the PS5, so not as much on the ol’ Switch.
Re: Freedom Planet 2 Switch Release Delayed To Spring 2024
Ah that’s a shame, but I rather it come out perfect than waiting for a patch or three.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 9th)
Trepang2! Feels like a long lost 360 game in the best way possible. I’ll probably also head back into FF16’s new game plus now that the first half of the DLC is out. The game is a heck of a lot better on a higher difficulty and skipping every mind numbing cutscene.
Re: The Game Awards GOTY For 2023 Is Baldur's Gate 3
I keep planning on playing it sometime but I’m glad they won. And against freaking Legend of Zelda!
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Wins Best Action/Adventure Game At TGA 2023
Haven’t played much of it but I’m glad it won something.
Re: EA Is Bringing A New 'EA Originals' Title To Switch In April Next Year
Game looks good!
Re: Talking Point: What's Next For The Super Smash Bros. Series?
I’m betting a reboot. A lot of veteran fighters need a refreshed move set and not have so many clone characters.
Re: Kingdom Come: Deliverance Switch Port Is Still Alive, Coming Early 2024
Hopefully this’ll end up as one of the greats and not like Arkham Knight.
Re: Talking Point: What Are The Worst Parts Of Your Favourite Games?
One that comes to mind is Cave Story’s moon logic to get the true ending. Why yes, I should ignore the dying old man who just fell in a pit! Fantastic game otherwise.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Batman: Arkham Trilogy
Two seconds into porting Knight should’ve been enough to change course. Why not use Origins instead?
Re: Poll: What Is Your Favourite Character Reveal Trailer For Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?
Sora’s trailer was the best. A literal dream come true.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 2nd)
More Astlibra if I have the time. Planning on finishing up Sam and Max Save the Earth and move on to the sequal.
Re: Critically Acclaimed 'Motorvania' Laika: Aged Through Blood Locks In Switch Date
Man the first quarter of 2024 is freaking insane. Really excited for this!
Re: Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2's Next Update Addresses Community Feedback
Kinda wish the Switch version wasn’t so low on the priority list.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 25th)
I’ve been playing a lot of Astlibra Revision for the past couple days. It’s a really fun passion project, jank and all.
Re: Bandai Namco Survey Asks Pac-Man World Re-PAC Players To Share Their Experience
Funnily enough I just bought this on Switch today. Weird. Also, yes please remaster/remake World 2.
Re: Outer Wilds: Archaeologist Edition Finally Blasts Onto Switch Next Month
I’m going to see how it holds up before committing. If it can punch above it’s weight then I’ll definitely pick it up on Switch.
Re: 'Blade Chimera' Combines Stunning Pixel Art With Stylish Metroidvania Action
The name “Team Ladybug” is enough to sell me on this.
Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate That Nintendo Indie World Showcase?
Kinda bummed there wasn’t an update on Freedom Planet 2 (which is still Winter 2023 apparently???) or Laika. But it did have On Your Tail which looks pretty interesting, and Chimera Blade too.
Probably gonna pick up Backpack Hero when that comes later today.
Re: Nintendo Announces Indie World Showcase For Tomorrow, November 14th
C’mon Freedom Planet 2.
Re: Braid: Anniversary Edition Out Next Year, But There's No Mention Of A Switch Release
Might be a case of “I don’t want to compromise my vision”. Real annoying he hasn’t listed a reason why Switch is not listed or even an acknowledgment.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 11th)
A combo of Risk of Rain Returns and the Survivors of the Void DLC now that it FINALLY hit consoles. Also do a bit of Borderlands 2 questing.
Re: Review: DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing - Ain't The Sharpest Tool In The Shed
Playing it on the PS5, and yeah, it’s serviceable. Not awful but there’s a million other better alternatives.
Re: Valve Announces Steam Deck OLED, Says Switch OLED Paved The Way
As others pointed out: Don’t dismiss the Vita! Yeah it didn’t light the world on fire but it was certainly ahead of its time.
Oh and yeah Steam Deck.
Re: Surprise! Nintendo Is Officially Working On A Live-Action Legend Of Zelda Movie
Chris Pratt Link baaaabbbyyy.
Jokes aside, at least it’s not Illumination. The Mario Movie is fine for what it is, but something like Zelda needs a bit more substance.
