I'll probably end up picking this up on Steam because I really don't think I have it in me to play this on a TV in front of others

For a game about a bunch of quadrilaterals jumping around, I got rather emotionally invested in the characters. The narration is really what makes the game shine in my opinion.

Great to hear same-sex marriage is an option, now I just hope it gets confirmed for Rune Factory 5, there's some rather attractive men in that.

This may be one of the indie greats, but I was never able to get into it. It just seemed like a run of the mill platformer without much going for it. I have several better options for a 2D platformer if I'm in the mood for it, so I think I'll skip this.

@Kalmaro The only purpose of any ToS is to let you know what you can and cannot do with a given service or product. Violating the ToS basically means you lose your right to continue using the service or product, and the company will either ban you from the service or refrain from offering any kind of support for your account/item. It has no legal binding and is essentially a contract that you agree to in order to use a service. You cannot be arrested for violating ToS because all you're doing is just invalidating a contract you signed, which is not a criminal offense.

@mesome713 Do you have a single shred of evidence to back that up?

@mesome713 Hacking a game isn't actually illegal, all it does is violate Nintendo's ToS, which has no actual legal binding. What these hackers are doing is literally the same thing as modding PC games, which has and will always be legal. It's not like they're cheating to climb leaderboards or ranks in games like Splatoon or Smash.

Y'all need to chill, if people are going to hack in a way that literally does not hurt other players, then let them, especially since they'll probably get banned anyways. I hate hackers too but I only hate hackers who go out of their way to ruin the fun for everyone else, this stuff is perfectly harmless because you can choose not to visit their islands.

Some of y'all are acting like children over something you can just choose to ignore, and it's no wonder people have been getting fed up with Animal Crossing fans.

You were good son, real good. Maybe even one of the best.

The amiibo does look kinda ugly, but that's not really unusual for something Binding of Isaac related. I'll most definitely get it though as I'm a big fan of the game.

It would be cool if other arcade games came to the Switch, especially some of Yu Suzuki's games like Space Harrier and Out Run.

I'll be picking this up at some point. I loved The Binding of Isaac on Wii U and having a physical version will look lovely in my collection. Plus it includes content not in the Wii U version.

Now I'll just have to unlock everything again...

I got to try out the Switch at the Chicago event here in the US. I still can't believe how light the Switch is, I was expecting it to be heavier than it was.

This reminds me of The Incredible Machine. I used to play that a lot when I was younger.

Part of the reason I don't buy first-party Nintendo games digitally is they almost never go on sale, and if they do, it's usually just $5 or $10 less than the normal price. I can usually find better prices on eBay or local stores.

I seem to remember Iwata said that the reason digital prices are close to physical prices is because they believe a digital copy of a game is as valuable as a physical copy, which I interpreted as PR fluff.

@PotatoTheG Xbox Live has some pretty good sales every now and then, not as many games go on sale as the PSN but the prices tend to be better. The Devil May Cry HD Collection for Xbox 360 was on sale for $4 earlier in the week, for example.

@NintySnesMan Spectator modes in multiplayer shooters is actually standard, although it's more common in PC ones. And for a shooter to be good for eSports, it needs a spectator mode for the people doing the commentary.

Honestly Twitch is what I care about the most as far as streaming apps go. I don't watch TV much anymore but I watch a lot of Twitch streamers, so having a portable way of watching Twitch would be nice.

I see Konami once again demonstrates their inability to understand what their own fans want.

I voted for Eirika since Sacred Stones was my first Fire Emblem game. I really need to get around to beating it...

@UK-Nintendo "Demonic entertainment" is probably a sign that arguing with that guy is like fighting a brick wall.

I've been waiting for Pinball Arcade for a long time, definitely getting it today.

[STABILITY INTENSIFIES]

I own this game on Steam and I can honestly say I would not buy it again on Wii U. There is nothing spectacular about it by any means. Ziggurat is a much better game with the same concept.

My 3DS is now more stable than the PSN. Which honestly isn't actually saying much.

I'd definitely get this for 3DS, probably Wii U later.

She'd make for a fantastic Samus.

Maybe next time?

@Ventilator Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't there an official comic based on the games that detailed the story? I mean yeah the game itself doesn't give that much in the way of story but that's still more than what Minecraft has.

I am extremely surprised to see this got that much praise when what I've seen of it looks like the blandest "story"-driven game I've ever seen.

I'm not sure if it's been addressed already but there is a big problem with the lack of Controller Pak support. Almost every third-party N64 game required the Pak, which means that a good majority of the N64's games won't be on the eShop if Nintendo truly decided against emulating it. This means that games like Gex 3, Hybrid Heaven, Resident Evil 2, Fighter's Destiny, Rayman 2, Tonic Trouble, Glover, Turok, Nightmare Creatures, and Rocket: Robot on Wheels will not be available. Without Rare's games or third-party games, the N64 selection on the eShop isn't going to be as good as it could be.

It's a good thing Chandelure is one of my favorite Pokemon. Probs gonna main him.

My Wii U is more stable than my relationship.

My guess is it's gonna be Flygon, Darkrai, Swampert, Tyranitar, Heracross, or Chandelure. Chandelure's wishful thinking though.

And I'm just sitting here liking Don't Starve more than both of them combined.

I really doubt anyone's gonna buy this. I mean it looks like a mobile game for one thing, and given that it's now known that Marvelous and Natsume have completely different ideas on where to take the series, I think we'd be better off waiting until Marvelous decides to do a Wii U entry.

I'm 21 and my brother's 18 and although we're both gamers, we both have different interests in games. I love all games, both old and new, and I've been desperately trying to get him to at least try older games to see if there's any he'd like (and this totally isn't just a way for me to have someone to play with). He prefers newer games but I have to say, out of all our older consoles, it's the SNES that he likes the most. And by that I mean there's two or three games he'll go out of his way to play on his own.

Seriously, at the most the number of games he'll play without my involvement on consoles before the Gamecube and PS2 is like, one. He likes the SNES because he latched onto Super Metroid and A Link to the Past.

I really wonder if people like this think their games are actually good or if they are fully aware that their game is terrible.

I see absolutely no reason why Afterbirth can't run well on the Wii U unless Nicalis is completely incompetent at porting a 2D game. Oh wait.

Here's my top ten eShop games:

1.) Shovel Knight
2.) Runbow
3.) Don't Starve: Giant Edition
4.) Freedom Planet
5.) The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
6.) Guacamelee!: Super Turbo Championship Edition
7.) SteamWorld Dig
8.) Gunman Clive HD Collection
9.) Thomas Was Alone
10.) Child of Light

@AVahne The website shows the Pyra as being available for pre-order for about $300, it's the OpenPandora that's closer to $500 or $600.

@chiefeagle02 I'm assuming this device is less expensive than the OpenPandora though. As much as I love my Pandora the price certainly made it difficult to get.

For anyone interested in something like this, I'd recommend the DragonBox Pyra over this, once it's released of course. It can do all this plus it runs on Linux and has a full keyboard.

Here's my top 10:

1.) Splatoon
2.) Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut
3.) Bayonetta 2
4.) Mario Kart 8
5.) Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
6.) Rayman Legends
7.) Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
8.) The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
9.) Pikmin 3
10.) Need for Speed: Most Wanted U

I'm surprised Super Mario Maker got the GOTY nomination instead of Splatoon, and I'm also surprised Ori and the Blind Forest isn't even nominated for GOTY. Ori is better than anything else that came out this year (at least in my opinion) so I want it to win every category it was nominated for (and deservedly so as everything about the game is amazing). I don't know how Ori got lumped with the indie games since it's not even an indie game, it was published and funded by Microsoft.

I live in America so please excuse my lack of knowledge on dates in other countries, but does the release date say November 12th or December 11th?

Didn't he throw a tantrum and quit making games or something?

I see no problem here.

I was just playing my N64 a few minutes ago and I honestly can't see a difference. The quality looks about the same to me.

Also, am I the only one who doesn't like scanlines?

I'm a furry and even I find this terrifying.
