@adammmmmm Thanks for the warning. I assure you I will wait. I'm a patient gamer. I've bought two games on release. Persona 5 and TotK. I got BL3 on release but that was a present. Every other game I've waited for.
As a fan of Supergiant games and roguelikes it should've worked for me, but I Hades didn't gel for me. Maybe I'll give it another try. Itwouldn't be the first time I was wrong.
@Freek But did you know that Kiwis are paying less for Silksong than we are. Its a bloody outrage! I'm going to take this all the way to the Prime Minister! Oi, Albo!
MKW was really disappointing. Fast Fusion was great. 95% of my time on my Switch 2 has been Zelda. First BotW, now im halfway through TotK. I adored theses games so much. I'm adoring them again in 60fps. But my Switch 2 has yet to blow me away like Returnal did when I got a PS5. Donkey Kong might be that game for some, but its probably not for me. But I'm the in 1% who didn't like Mario Odyssey, so what do I know.
@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.

Re: Borderlands 4 Has Been Delayed For Switch 2, Digital Pre-Orders Cancelled
I was definitely leaning towards getting it on PS5 but I did consider this version for the portability. I guess they made the decision for me.

Re: Mario Kart World Has Been Updated To Version 1.2.1, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
