@Deemo37 Good to know, guess I’ll wait for that final Capcom sale to check out that Trilogy. I’d anticipate the Trilogy will be re released at some point but good to know there’s some cross referencing involved in the series. Thanks for the heads up!
Capcom has had sales on 3DS and Wii U fairly frequently, these games have been going for like $5 throughout the year. I picked this one up cuz it was on the cheap. Lol I’ve never played an Ace Attorney game before
@Liam_Doolan How about a write up exploring the real issue with Scalpers….the Buyers! Seems like a messed up bunch no? The real mystery group led by their not so mysterious leader FOMO! It’d be interesting to get a better understanding of why these ppl continually choose to feed Scalpers when they clearly don’t have to, such as the case here. This seems like an episode for an Ace Attorney game. Also..Mr Doolan…I’m assuming your preferred Splatoon weapon are the “Doolies” ha!
@hippoeater They were thinking money $$$!! If u think about it only 13M Wii U’s were sold so this trip to Inkopolis will be new content for many. It is an odd DLC from them, they are usually pretty good with added value in their add on content. I’m sure Side Order will be worth the wait, and hopefully they can add more to the Inkopolis cosmetic makeover. Right now this expansion appears as a money grab
I managed to snag a copy late yesterday from Walmart. Its strange seeing this level of demand for a Metroid game but it’s deserved exposure. It’s ironic seeing such demand for physical when they released that report claiming physical is now a niche market 😆
Was not expecting the demand for this game to be this high! Metroid games selling out at stores?! This franchise has come a long way , it’s about time it started having more commercial success!
I got a copy late last night from Walmart. Best Buy is sold out, only reason I got a copy is the morning sales associate is apparently “an idiot” according to his co workers lol…he forgot to put out the morning shipment so they have copies available. Probably gone by now. I’ve yet to try it out but excited to replay after 20 yrs!
Nintendo has been doing a good job of keeping things “fresh” thus far with Splatoon 3. The new King Salmon Run looks pretty cool, should be another fun Salmon. I’m still a bit confused on what the point is to Wave 1 but Side Dish does look interesting. March should be fun start to the new season, hard to believe it’s been 3 months already since the last season update. I don’t think Nintendo was playing around about their strategy to continue to support its evergreen titles to close out Switch. That Switch 2 won’t be out until 2025 folks 😝
Oh snap…my N Zap 89’ is making its return and the new special looks pretty deadly. Ya’ll are in trouble now! Got about 30 Sheldon Licenses just waiting to get spent on new weapons!
This is my kinda news! I used to love this special back in Splatoon 1. Before it got nerfed it was near impossibe to stop 😂, I can understand how many victims oppose to this announcement. I’m all for any new specials or weapons added. Now if only they can do a better job explaining these upcoming expansion DLC…wave 1 seems underwhelming if it’s simply a return to Inkopolis as a hub. Side Order had more Octo Expansion vibes which I’d be all for.
I initially scoffed at Nintendo’s 10 year plan for the Switch. Now I’m thinking 10 years isn’t that much of a stretch at this point. I think 8 yrs is the sweet spot before any new hardware is announced. They just said they still believe there’s room to grow sales with the Switch and they haven’t even introduced a price cut yet so I believe them! I agree and think Nintendo will let Zelda and the Mario movie carry most the of this years momentum, then I could see a swan song year in 2024 with a steady stream of quality software before they introduce Switch 2 in 2025.
I’ll be fighting for that milk chocolate 🍫 life during Splatfest. That Nintendo Direct will have my Backlog levelling up soon, and my bank accounts levelling down 😂. Bayonetta 3 and Smash Bros get the rest of my Switch attention.
I really need to give my Xbox Series X more attention, Hifi Rush and need to get back into Dying Light 2 and start Elden Ring!
Strains on deck this weekend ….Tropicana Gold, Kush Mints and some Tiger Crane 💨
On the real, positive thoughts and prayers for those lost or being impacted by the earthquakes!
Life is short! Hope u enjoy everything you can this weekend!
I’ll give Nintendo credit as they are probably the best when it comes to formatting and file compression. 18 GB is what it would take to load Pong on my XBox series X 😂…seriously in comparisons to your standard 50GB+ for the other consoles this is absolutely manageable. This game will be another epic.
Gotcha. I rarely pay full price myself, I don’t know if I’d go as far as saying NO game is worth the $60,$70 asking price , some ppl pour hundreds sometimes thousands of hours into a game. I’d say for that kind of value $60-70 is an affordable investment
@Kassyarts It will be available at those retailers , the game will be $90 CAD which is why I’m laughing at the Yankees complaining about their $70 price tag .
@MrMichaelJames Why aren’t Nintendo games worth $60 or $70 but Sony and MS are justified? 😂
The outcry over the pricing is expected but ppl are straight up over reacting. It just seems petty, ppl pay hundreds, if not $1000 or more for the phone in their hand and every month they continue paying their monthly bill. Do ppl cancel their cell phone plans when they go over by $10? Exactly. How are you gonna clamour over a game for over half a decade , then turn around and refuse to purchase it over $10? Its a game ppl will invest hundreds and hundreds of hours playing, I’d like to think the $10 will be worth it.
On a side note, I’m curious to know just how much software and revenue has been generating since the announcement of the 3DS/Wii U Eshops closing. 10 yr old games still selling at full price, digitally mind you, has to be lining someone’s pockets!
Perfect timing Nintendo! Time to see what they have planned for the rest of 2023. Not expecting much tbh but these Directs are always good fun! Let’s go!!!
This console sale numbers are insane. Not even a price cut has been introduced. It’s an extremely impressive feat, makes sense why they’re generating so much revenue being as stingy as they have been. It will likely be the all time best selling console by 2025…just in time for its successor to be released 😉
@Uncle_Franklin Ironically the immense success of the Switch has only increased the value of the Wii U in 2023. Crazy to think it sold just over 13 Million units in its lifespan, it’s a collectors item now. Wii U is pretty much Nintendos Virtual boy of this era.
Think about that…close to 1 Billion units of software on one console.This is without the help of massive franchises such as COD, Madden and GTA not to mention this gen has been hampered with the chip shortages. An impressive feat with those circumstances. Such a complete contrast from the software hampered Wii U era. These figures justify my Switch backlog lol. Congratulations to Nintendo, this is a big accomplishment and milestone. Nintendoooooomed! 😭
Continuing with the 3DS/Wii U Eshop purge. Out of nowhere I started replaying Kid Icarus Uprising on the 3DS…this game is insanely good. It deserves a sequel or port at least, could make for a nice launch window title on the Switch 2 😉 .
Other than that I’m picking off my Backlog targets one at a time, will dive into more Smash Bros Ultimate and will get back to some Xbox Series X gaming…all while keeping an eye out for Chinese surveillance Balloons 🎈
This won’t matter. Game Freak could release another broken Pokémon game and it’d still sell through the roof. As long as gamers keep paying it offers them little incentive to change their ways.
I’ve been gradually purging the Wii U and 3DS eshops…still lots of gems to be had. I’m even considering picking up Devils Third just as it’s much cheaper digital than physical. It’s getting close to crunch time, the end of an era!
I really need to get back to this game. I haven’t touched any of the update content yet so I have a ton to access still. These “free” updates are great tho, no complaints from me. Hopefully the online community is still active, I’m on lowly MR10 only! Capcom has done a good job supporting the title!
Time to start cleaning out those 3DS/Wii U Eshops. Recently got Zack and Wiki and Affordable Space Adventures. Capcom is running a sale as a heads up. Hopefully the eshop sees a true sale before it’s closure.
I’m late to the party but finally picked up Smash Bros Ultimate, what a gem. A true ode to gaming!
On Series X, more Dying Light 2, I’ll try out Hi Fi Rush and thinking about getting the Dead Space remake.
Strains on deck this weekend….Pink Death..it’s a heavy hitter, pure gas! MAC and Gelato 33 in the mix as well! 😎
@Meloman …No More Heroes 3, I’m sitting at 4th ranked assassin but haven’t played it in months…really to need to wrap that one up! Travis needs to be in Smash Bros!
Cheshire is a really cool and creepy character design. Still playing thru Bayo 3 so I’ll pay even more attention to character details now. I’ll definitely have some of whatever Cheshire’s smoking tho!
I’ve started my Eshop purge, recently picked up Affordable Space Advetures and Zelda:Phantom Hourglass. For anyone looking, Capcom has a Wii U Eshop sale. You can get games like Ducktales, Resident Evil 4 etc…on the cheap. I just purchased Zack and Wiki after all these years for like $7
I’m definitely excited for TOTK in a couple of months but I’m starting to temper some expectations! The hype for this game is nigh unrealistic! It’s a tall ask for a sequel, I’m sure it too will be an amazing game as BoTW was…however I’m prepared that it might not feel as fresh and new as it’s predecessor. The game will review well surely but I’m also prepared for some 8’s and 9’s this time around. Not saying it’ll be bad!…just saying the shoes it’s attempting to fill are absolutely massive!
The final day of 2022! I plan on spending 2023 the same as 2022…living life 1 day at a time and remembering to appreciate my experiences and moments in time!
Currently my wifey is playing BOTW for her 1st time and she’s completely enthralled..it’s been a lot of fun to relive the experience through her. I still think one of its biggest reveals is the fact that Link was dating a fish! Hyrule was very progressive for its time lol! Would his daughter be named Lipha? 🤔
I’ll be ringing in the new year with some exquisite BBQ and gaming with family and friends. Like @nhSnork…I’m just going to try and play as many games as I can lol …as soon as I defeat Time of course! If Covid has taught us anything it’s that the true pandemic is our Backlogs!
Strains on deck…Root Beer Float, Gary Payton, Pink Death, Pineapple Express to name a few to ring in the New Year! Enjoy your lives responsibly, Happy gaming and New Year!
Was never lured by these games, I know Golf Story is a bit of a cult classic to many so this is a disappointing follow up for them. Seemed like the devs were in over their heads this time around. Too bad for those who’ve purchased the game in its current state. Maybe now we know it was shadow dropped in the first place.
I’ve been meaning to get back into this game, haven’t played since the summer so I have a ton of update content to check out let alone completing the main story. Can’t complain about the added value, will be interesting to see what they bring in 2023..it really is a great game.
Congratulations everyone..we made it to yet another weekend. The final weeks of 2022!…almost hard to believe. Best of luck to all football/soccer fans..France vs Argentina tomorrow, NFL fantasy football playoffs start for many!
Game wise I’ve been really enjoying TMNT Shredders Revenge of late. BAYONETTA 3..the story is crazy as it should be , im still loving the gameplay throughout. SPLATOON 3 of course. Too many game options during downtime.
On Series X I’ll try out the new HIGH ON LIFE game, ELDEN RING is still in its box! My Backlog remains like time …undefeated!
On deck…Red Congo..it is better than coffee 😂 and some very potent Pineapple Express !
First off….condolences to all the fans of England and Portugal for your loses! It’s been an entertaining WC!
This weekend I’ll be killing Salmonids with reckless abandon during the Big Run event. It’s been a blast so far and is a great challenge. I’ve taken advantage of the current Partners Sale on the eshop. Added Portal and the Goose game amongst some others. Bayonetta 3 will continue to get some reps, great action game…quite unlike anything out at the moment.
Series X..more Dying Light 2, Vampire Survivors here and there and I should probably start Elden Ring…apparently it’s pretty good ? 😝
U know me!…strains on deck Cherry Mints, Root Beer Float and LA Kush Cake 😉
This is good news for gamers, not sure why there’s so much hate for COD. I get it’s skipped Nintendo systems for sometime now but I don’t get how ppl would think this is bad. The opportunity to play a portable version of COD is good for Nintendo and the COD franchise. This commitment does seem better suited for the next iteration of Nintendo consoles, it would fill a void that was left vacant for years. Having the option to play and access more games on your console shouldn’t be a negative thing. I’m mainly a Nintendo and Xbox gamer so I’m completely fine with this announcement, no harm no foul!
It’s blistering cold this weekend…think planet Hoth! Good time to stay in and get some gaming done. Have been checking out the newly updated ‘Chill Season’ features in Splatoon 3. I’ve finally given Bayonetta 3 some quality time, the combat is truly sublime in that game. I’ll also try and finish up No More Heroes 3 and Luigi’s Mansion 3. I just realized all those games are 3’s! I’ve recently started playing DownWell…it’s simple yet addicting..feel almost bad that I purchased it awhile back on sale for a little over $1!
On Series X I’ll continue with Dying Light 2, Vampire Hunters…another addicting gem! Might also give Elden Ring a go as well.
Hey congrats to you all for making to the weekend!! Happy Gaming!
Too bad about the lack of cross save/play…have put in some good hours on the Switch. I’ll probably still check it out on Gamepass…on the bright side, u could restart on another console and try a new weapon as your main to keep things fresh.
Didn’t bite on any OLED deals I figure a new Nintendo system will be announced within 1-2 years so I’ll hold out until then. I did grab a bunch of Series X titles…finally picked up Elden Ring and MW2 on sales. My Switch backlog is pretty hefty and I think I’m reaching my saturation point with Switch games. I’m really just waiting on BOTW 2, Metroid Prime 4 haha!…and likely whatever the next mainline Mario game is.
This exactly! It’s great the game has proven to be a financial success but what hypocrisy within this industry. Game Freak won’t ever have to issue any public apologies for rushing a currently broken and unfinished product..it’ll just be more accolades and incentive to keep selling gamers hype over quality. I’m not exactly sure what it is when it comes to Pokémon, it’s a decades old franchise so it’s a misconception that’s it’s only played by kids yet it’s a franchise where complacency seems to be widely accepted! 10 Million in 3 days and the holidays rush isn’t even in full swing.
I’ve been continuing my play through of Luigi’s Mansion 3, it’s just such a high quality piece of software through and through. Been playing Bayonetta 3 in small snippets, enjoyed what I have played. I’m already halfway thru Catalog 2 in Splatoon. Think I’ll finally try out some Salmon Run and finish the main story.
On Series X Deathloop, Vampire Survivors and Guardians of the Galaxy will get some quality time.
Sad to hear the disappointment many have with the recent Pokémon releases. Hopefully Game Freak gets the message…but they probably can’t hear the complaints with all that $ in their ears.
Some cultivar strains on deck for elevation this weekend lol…have a good one everyone!
Never got into Pokémon or played the games but this franchise appears to be shrouded in complacency. Been hearing the same complaints about Game Freak for years and yet ppl just continue to buy them up. Perhaps some of the more critical reviews will shake things up at Game Freak but for a franchise of this magnitude this shouldn’t be acceptable. For a franchise that should be growing and evolving this seems to be heading towards a more regressive and stagnant approach. Too bad for those who are eargerly anticipating this release.
Awesome news! Looks like Splatoon will follow a Seasonal pass regarding the updates! This game still needs a proper voice chat though, let alone the Switch in general. It would be neat if they would post the number of players who participated in Splatfest. It would actually be smart of Nintendo to use events like Splatfest for advertising! Not annoying sponser ads but how cool would it be if they premiered trailers for new games during these events. Would be kind of cool to watch mini trailers while your awaiting matchmaking in between matches. All in all this game will be a much different game by next summer! It deserves its recent success, there’s a player on my friends list who’s hit 550hrs already and it’s only been out 2 months!…this update only ensures their family will likely never seen them again lol

It’s like a slang term referring to the drawl in some American accents when they pronounce “America”
Re: Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Gearing Up For "Several Free Title Updates" In 2023
I’ve been meaning to get back into this game, haven’t played since the summer so I have a ton of update content to check out let alone completing the main story. Can’t complain about the added value, will be interesting to see what they bring in 2023..it really is a great game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 17th)
Congratulations everyone..we made it to yet another weekend. The final weeks of 2022!…almost hard to believe. Best of luck to all football/soccer fans..France vs Argentina tomorrow, NFL fantasy football playoffs start for many!
Game wise I’ve been really enjoying TMNT Shredders Revenge of late. BAYONETTA 3..the story is crazy as it should be , im still loving the gameplay throughout. SPLATOON 3 of course. Too many game options during downtime.
On Series X I’ll try out the new HIGH ON LIFE game, ELDEN RING is still in its box! My Backlog remains like time …undefeated!
On deck…Red Congo..it is better than coffee 😂 and some very potent Pineapple Express !
Happy Weekend everyone!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 10th)
First off….condolences to all the fans of England and Portugal for your loses! It’s been an entertaining WC!
This weekend I’ll be killing Salmonids with reckless abandon during the Big Run event. It’s been a blast so far and is a great challenge. I’ve taken advantage of the current Partners Sale on the eshop. Added Portal and the Goose game amongst some others. Bayonetta 3 will continue to get some reps, great action game…quite unlike anything out at the moment.
Series X..more Dying Light 2, Vampire Survivors here and there and I should probably start Elden Ring…apparently it’s pretty good ? 😝
U know me!…strains on deck Cherry Mints, Root Beer Float and LA Kush Cake 😉
Happy Weekend to all!
Re: Talking Point: Are You Excited To See Call Of Duty Return To Nintendo Platforms?
This is good news for gamers, not sure why there’s so much hate for COD. I get it’s skipped Nintendo systems for sometime now but I don’t get how ppl would think this is bad. The opportunity to play a portable version of COD is good for Nintendo and the COD franchise. This commitment does seem better suited for the next iteration of Nintendo consoles, it would fill a void that was left vacant for years. Having the option to play and access more games on your console shouldn’t be a negative thing. I’m mainly a Nintendo and Xbox gamer so I’m completely fine with this announcement, no harm no foul!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 3rd)
It’s blistering cold this weekend…think planet Hoth! Good time to stay in and get some gaming done. Have been checking out the newly updated ‘Chill Season’ features in Splatoon 3. I’ve finally given Bayonetta 3 some quality time, the combat is truly sublime in that game. I’ll also try and finish up No More Heroes 3 and Luigi’s Mansion 3. I just realized all those games are 3’s! I’ve recently started playing DownWell…it’s simple yet addicting..feel almost bad that I purchased it awhile back on sale for a little over $1!
On Series X I’ll continue with Dying Light 2, Vampire Hunters…another addicting gem! Might also give Elden Ring a go as well.
Hey congrats to you all for making to the weekend!!
Happy Gaming!
Re: Monster Hunter Rise Is No Longer A Nintendo Switch Console Exclusive
Too bad about the lack of cross save/play…have put in some good hours on the Switch. I’ll probably still check it out on Gamepass…on the bright side, u could restart on another console and try a new weapon as your main to keep things fresh.
Re: Game Freak Registers Trademark For Potential 'Pocket Card Jockey' Sequel
Go figure! I just downloaded this off the 3DS shop last week! Too bad they didn’t host any Black Friday sales on the 3DS Eshop!
Re: The Nintendo Switch Was One Of The Top Black Friday Purchases This Year
Didn’t bite on any OLED deals I figure a new Nintendo system will be announced within 1-2 years so I’ll hold out until then. I did grab a bunch of Series X titles…finally picked up Elden Ring and MW2 on sales. My Switch backlog is pretty hefty and I think I’m reaching my saturation point with Switch games. I’m really just waiting on BOTW 2, Metroid Prime 4 haha!…and likely whatever the next mainline Mario game is.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Surpass 10 Million Sales In First Three Days, Setting New Nintendo Record
@MajorTom, @Jeronan
This exactly! It’s great the game has proven to be a financial success but what hypocrisy within this industry. Game Freak won’t ever have to issue any public apologies for rushing a currently broken and unfinished product..it’ll just be more accolades and incentive to keep selling gamers hype over quality.
I’m not exactly sure what it is when it comes to Pokémon, it’s a decades old franchise so it’s a misconception that’s it’s only played by kids yet it’s a franchise where complacency seems to be widely accepted! 10 Million in 3 days and the holidays rush isn’t even in full swing.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 19th)
I’ve been continuing my play through of Luigi’s Mansion 3, it’s just such a high quality piece of software through and through. Been playing Bayonetta 3 in small snippets, enjoyed what I have played. I’m already halfway thru Catalog 2 in Splatoon. Think I’ll finally try out some Salmon Run and finish the main story.
On Series X Deathloop, Vampire Survivors and Guardians of the Galaxy will get some quality time.
Sad to hear the disappointment many have with the recent Pokémon releases. Hopefully Game Freak gets the message…but they probably can’t hear the complaints with all that $ in their ears.
Some cultivar strains on deck for elevation this weekend lol…have a good one everyone!

Can we get a discount on gas and cell phones services while we’re at it?
Re: Review: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet - An Open-World Poké Playground Full Of Promise (And Tech Issues)
Never got into Pokémon or played the games but this franchise appears to be shrouded in complacency. Been hearing the same complaints about Game Freak for years and yet ppl just continue to buy them up. Perhaps some of the more critical reviews will shake things up at Game Freak but for a franchise of this magnitude this shouldn’t be acceptable. For a franchise that should be growing and evolving this seems to be heading towards a more regressive and stagnant approach. Too bad for those who are eargerly anticipating this release.
Re: Splatoon 3 'Chill Season 2022' Update Announced - New Weapons, Stages, Game Modes And More
Awesome news! Looks like Splatoon will follow a Seasonal pass regarding the updates! This game still needs a proper voice chat though, let alone the Switch in general. It would be neat if they would post the number of players who participated in Splatfest. It would actually be smart of Nintendo to use events like Splatfest for advertising! Not annoying sponser ads but how cool would it be if they premiered trailers for new games during these events. Would be kind of cool to watch mini trailers while your awaiting matchmaking in between matches. All in all this game will be a much different game by next summer! It deserves its recent success, there’s a player on my friends list who’s hit 550hrs already and it’s only been out 2 months!…this update only ensures their family will likely never seen them again lol
