Oof, reminds me I still need to complete the first game!

Good to hear it!
Hoping for a bit more of this type of Hawking Radiation after the MS buyout.

Is it the same people that ten years ago were very vocal on how black people should be able to relate just fine to white video game protagonists, or else black people ought to make their own games, who now see black protagonists from black creators as an issue?

If so, that's both funny and tragic.

Nintendo's been very "loud red" again since the reveal of the Switch. And it suits the brand.

Some of them are very big games, and often the graphics are new or have at least been dusted off.
If you haven't played them before, I suppose $60 isn't too crazy.
But obviously some have more effort to them than others.

Generally, I have to reminds myself to appreciate how Nintendo (mostly) doesn't nickle and dime me once I've paid the up-front asking price.

This should be good!

I didn't think they'd actually do it.
It's expensive, as one would expect, but it is also pretty cool.
Gotta say.

So many games about cats. :v

Bobbypills is the most amazing and outrageous animation studio of our time!
Thrilled to see them on this.

Miss this fella like you wouldn't believe.

I like the low-poly look of those guns.

It's such a persistent malfunction on such a highly priced and popular piece of consumer electronics.
I'm rather dismayed they keep getting away with it.

Looks great!
Loving the cheeky call to action in "KINDLY BUY IT NOW!", mimmicking the rhythm of the title. :v

Geez, that's too bad.
These guys also made Momonga Pinball, which was just incredibly cute.

I have a network situation where my work WiFi isn't supported by the Switch because of the security profile. Which seems unnecessary, but in genereal the Switch is handling network really ell compared to earlier Nintendo systems. ^^

Beefy update!
Xbox and PlayStation releases are rumored to be inbound as well, following all the good reviews.

I remember Infogrames fondly.
It felt weird to me when it was completely rebranded as Atari, as that name meant something completely different to me.

This is just Theme Hospital, but you're building a school!

I've been dreaming of this game since I was 12!

I could play Jupiter's picross puzzles as the only thing I did for the rest of my life.

Glowing review, awesome!
And I agree with many in the comments that the game being slightly on the shorter side isn't a big issue.
Rather get to compete it and look back on it fondly, with the option to give it one more spin, than have it hanging half-finished over your head for years.

Gato Roboto is the only oine of these I've played, so I might have to pick up a few more adventures. :v

That's exceedingly nice of Jools! :v

Cheeky how both the font and composition of the title art leans this close to The Witness. But there is of course a hole in the market there. And this does sound like my kind of game, even if I prefer them a bit harder. :v

@XenoShaun
A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. ^^

@Ruthchild
That would be a fair assumption -but- Toriyama is personally credited with designing the lead characters for the DQ main games, and I'm fairly sure he was known for enjoying the work on the series very much.

"We don't need the FIFA brand." ... And they didn't.

If Rick Moranis isn't in it, I'm not interested.

That's an exhausted man we hear at the end there. :v
And that completion percentage... 0.01% Unreal!

It does sound really nice. ^^
But... where is Hayley Westenra's angelic voice, which was instrumental in launching the IP back in 2007?

Funny seeing this article right above one, where the subheader goes "Freedom Planet 2! Botany Manor! The Gap!"
But I suppose it takes on to know one. :v

I can always stomach one more cute metroidvania.

I didn't even stop to consider the first Wario Land a Mario game, though I suppose it is by technicality of name. :v

And, it's a terrific game.
If Mario should end up seeing himself beaten in his own game series, he shouldn't have to sweat bullets over it. ^^

Boooh, where's my stability?

He beat it himself to upload it, and people have already downloaded and catalogued all the levels for play after Nintendo's official servers shut down, but it's still exciting to see if anyone makes it. That person would become a legend. :v

Nice with updates, as I still play this. Though what really has needed revision ever since it showed up are the unlock criteria for the the player icons pertaining to the Team Play.
No-one (at least I'd wager so) has managed to win ten games while playing for a team with ten or fewer players. Simply because the system assigns so many CPUs to teams that you are only ever less than 10 on the rare occasion that a lot of human players are present, AND your team color was picked by very few. And then you gotta win from that position as well. Ten times.

@HotGoomba
Rude. Roger Dead is still alive, and the logo is iconic.

Simulating a piece of hardware in software is by itself rarely considered illegal.

Advertising its use and charging money for doing it, while said hardware is still the flagship of Japan's most valuable company?
Walking headfirst into trouble.

Let's have Vicarious Vision and Treyarch spin out as well. :v

Is it really a "delay" when it wasn't ever announced?

They can afford to wait, so that's what we're probably going to see them do.

Coo is the most superb for me to this date!

Completely insane numbers!

Going to be hard to top this one, yeah.
Making it past 100 million is only for the few.

@dribLS
Several of people's bizarre prototypes made sometimes in less than a week can be bought fo 2 or 3 dollars on Switch, but I know what you mean. From these guys we'd expect a full game.

Very cute little thing. :v

...hightlight nicely how hard it is to make good 3D platforming challenges. ^_^;;

I had hoped they would make it to the FFV and FFVI remakes during the DS-era. :x

The ones we got for III and IV were amazing.

What I really want to see return is rewritable memory for save data.

They paid 70 billion for the privilege of firing that many people. ^^

Aye, I suppose so.
Let's not forget MS already publishes one of the consistent bestseller across all platforms.

I own WAY more games than I'll play. Physically, and especially digitally.
For many, it would make no difference if I just had subscription access, and suddenly didn't have it anymore.

For the ones I'm actually playing though, it makes no sense to me that I'd have to keep paying every month, even when I WASN'T playing.

It's not that I really care about "owning" digital copies. Because I don't. I can't resell them. It's just that I don't want to have to think about not having access to my games if I stopped paying.

And if anyone at Ubi wants to talk about what "needs" to happen, then I'd suggest they start making interesting games again, and stop greenlighting projects they're going to cancel anyway.

@Pat_trick
I know a lot of people are more forgiving of the movie than I am, so maybe it wasn't all for naught, but as you say, I've ended up seeing the whole process as just another example of greed. Where some execs were straight up scared that their investsments wouldn't be returned, and had to react to secure the cash flow, rather than anybody wanting to make the best possible Sonic movie.
