@Stormcloudlive The one I play the most is the original PS1 game on my Vita. I just love the sound design so much. Pure nostalgia, maybe, but still fun as heaven or hell.
@BaldB3lper78 I'm enjoying the hell out of BotW on the new switch. That said it is a disappointing launch overall. If the Switch 2 wasn't released and I booted up BotW on my old switch, after 5 years way from the game, I'd still be enjoying the hell out of it.
@somnambulance Many moons ago I got the N64 only a few months after it came out. Not quite day one but there was still only a handful of games. I think it launched in Australia with three games, and at the point I got it there wasn't many more available. Of course I was happy just to play Mario 64 all month long. We certainly have a few more options these days, that's for sure. I can even go and play my favourite N64 games right now on my new Switch. It's pretty awesome.
@somnambulance I want to waste money ASAP. Lol. I hear you, dude. Normally, when I get a new console, it's a year or two in. I end buying tons of games I normally wouldn't. Day one problems are good problems to have.
I am loving mine. Replaying BotW is amazing. Mario Kart knockout online is pure chaos. It's the first time I've bought a console on day one since the N64.
I remember these guys making some great games on the Vita. Particularly Velocity and Velocity 2X. Coconut Dodge was a memorable PS mini, too. I'm glad they found they found success with Powerwash, but this game just made me anxious.
@Buizel .Right there with ya. That said, unlike Nintendo first party games, Sega games eventually get a good discount. Eventually they'll be discounted enough that I'm willing to discount my moral compunction against buying their games.
@Jeronan I was tempted to get one. Got my wife a nice tablet, though. Got the TV back. The cloud gaming would certainly be tempting if it was available in Australia. Unfortunately our dogsh*t internet stymied that.
The last three consoles from Nintendo were all pretty bloody unique. The Switch 2 breaks that run, but I don't care. It's what I wanted. More of the same but with MORE POWER!
@Medic_alert I paid $10 AUD for Cyberpunk on PS4. Just waited for the free PS5 that was sure to come. Voila! If they think I'm paying north of $100 to buy it again, they're dreaming.

@fox_mattcloud There is a new donkey keyring. In Australia at least. Im not sure if we have the same stuff as the EU store.
Re: Video: So Just How Might These Third-Party Games Run On Switch 2?
They got 60 frames out of my Series S for Indiana Jones but I would be happy with a locked 40 for all these games.

Re: Mario Kart World Has Been Updated To Version 1.2.1, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@Thretosix Unfortunately, for me and MKW, Forza is the benchmark for open world racing games. MKW fell so far short.

Re: Review: Wild Hearts S (Switch 2) - Monster Hunting That's Satisfying, If Unspectacular

There seems to be no ambivalence in regard to this game.
Re: ICYMI: Koei Tecmo Has Released A 'Wild Hearts S' Demo On Switch 2

Re: The Company Behind Switch's HD Rumble Is Also Responsible For PS5 Controller's Haptic Feedback
The PS5 used it to glorious effect in Returnal. One the best games ever made, I might add.

Re: Nintendo Defends Switch 2's Perceived Lack Of Innovation
@Jeronan I was tempted to get one. Got my wife a nice tablet, though. Got the TV back. The cloud gaming would certainly be tempting if it was available in Australia. Unfortunately our dogsh*t internet stymied that.
