Didn't even know there was DLC in the works. I'm still playing the base game, but happy to have more on the way.

I have a large loose Genesis collection I actually keep in a file cabinet. Boxes are rad but the price difference and my lack of real estate for them makes it totally impractical.

Now disc based games, need them boxes.

So Actraiser with Mega Man X music... I'm listening.

Gimmie gimmie gimmie.

Love Golden Sun, but if Camelot ever makes another RPG it has to be Shining Force IV.

Would love a collection of the Golden Sun games on Switch. Maybe not at Nintendo prices though

Love this game but I'll be waiting for a sale.

Maybe we can get to more important things like Galaxy 2.

Looks fun. Could go for some Metal Slug style action that isn't another recycled Metal Slug.

Is mixing fantasy tropes with sci-fi ahead of the curve here? Isn't that the entire basis of Phantasy Star?

I totally agree with the sentiment of this piece, but I also would highlight that it's time for most games to get significantly better with their pacing. I have a ton of unfinished games that I like and would like to play more of that I tire out of due to horrible bloat and pacing issues.

I know I personally have that feeling where I need to roll credits on most games, even though it's kind of an arbitrary mile post. I think my favorite games of recent memory I never finished would be Sekiro (couldn't beat the last boss), Hollow Knight (couldn't beat a boss) and Hades (it's on my PC which I almost never use). Or basically every rogue-like I start!!!!!

I'm primarily a PS gamer so this really bums me out, but it's really not surprising. You don't shell out $7.5b to continue releasing marquee titles on your competition's hardware.

I guess I will look into Game Pass on PC when the next group of interesting Bethesda games drops. I don't see Nintendo or Sony allowing Game Pass on their platforms, especially since in Sony's case they have PS Now, which isn't the same but surely Game Pass would cannibalize their existing subs.

One thing certain is I still won't be buying an Xbox. I can't afford to have a Switch, a PS5, an XBSX and a PC. And I also am not happy about not owning games - I get I could still buy them on PC, but Game Pass might be necessary since my PC may not be up to snuff so I'll need streaming to play.

I was hoping this was an announcement of the classic game xoming to Switch. The new game looks kind of generic.

Maybe I'll finally put Odyssey back into my Switch. Got horribly bored with it a few months back.

I wish they'd publish a collection of Trails in the Sky games on Switch. I played a bit of the first on PC and enjoyed it's old school, straightforward nature but just fell off largely because I don't consistently game on my PC. But I would play them in handheld mode for sure.

I actually loathe Animal Crossing. The 10 hours I played of Wild World were sooooo boring.

@TryToBeHopeful I don't doubt it. I just know in my experience I fall off sp racing games pretty quickly. I had MK7 on 3DS and got really bored really quickly.

I also have a Lite so local isn't really an option. I'd get it for $40, maybe, to play online with friends.

@TryToBeHopeful Apparently. I don't have Switch Online and obviously am not hosting friends during a pandemic, so kind of seems pointless, especially for $60?

Pass. Waiting on discounts on Kart, 3D World or Captain Toad.

I have a Switch Lite and thus do not care.

Not buying for $60. Pretty firm on that, even if this would be my first dip. And yes I'm a bit of a hypocrite because I'll buy NieR Replicant for $60 in March.

I mostly want the PSP Persona 1 and 2 remakes. If we got P3FES and P4Golden I'd consider grabbing them - I didn't finish either vanilla game back on PS2 and didn't have the will to start either over back then, just like I have no desire for P5R since I beat P5 a few years back.

If we're going beyond Persona, I would consider buying Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2 if ported. But realistically these are all long add games and I don't have that much time anymore. I bought the Soul Hackers rerelease on 3DS and maybe played 10 hours before stopping. These games need to have some modern QOL additions.

If they were Switch exclusive titles that were excluaive to Pro I would be very annoyed. If their 3rd party titles I can buy on a Sony console, I can live.

Jedi Fallen Order is their best game in recent memory.

I borrowed the original and never finished it. I liked what was there but honestly most JRPGs end up boring me. Only JRPGs of recent memory I've finished were P5 and both Ni no Kunis, and the second of those was a huge disappointment to me.

I might give it a go in a few years at a deep eShop discount, but otherwise, firm pass.

The art reminds me of the Hilda Netflix series, which is a very good thing. Not sure I would enjoy searching for tiny things on my Switch Lite, but charmed nonetheless.

Interested in anything Devolver gets their hands on.

I mean, I see where this article is coming from and I agree it's very easy to fall for the promise of a game before it exists, but like, that's the consumer's choice. I was a victim of getting too excited for Cyberpunk, because it was the marriage of Deus Ex by way of The Witcher in my head. Honestly though, I don't feel that burned. What I've played I've still enjoyed, it's just not the open world Deus Ex I had wrongly assumed it would be.

I think what you're really angling at is a problem with fanboy culture and knee-jerk reactions to news and the lack of news. Unfortunately that is part of any fandom. And really, we shouldn't bemoan people for being as passionate or dispassionate about something as they desire, so long as it doesn't impede our ability to enjoy it too.

I think your bit about players not finishing games kind of weakens your argument too. Games that don't have tons of hype remain largely unfinished too. It's easy to single out games for this since we have handy lists to track players' completions, but I could list at least half a dozen novels on my bookshelf I've read part of and never finished. I just don't log that info on GoodReads. Game completion is a function of so many things beyond whether a game lives up to its hype or not - I mean I thought Fallen Order looked like trash and ended up loving it and getting the Platinum. And Sekiro, another game I love, and actually bought on release, I never finished because the final boss is a POS. And I definitely dumped more hours into Sekiro, but I may never have the game beaten trophy, so that's a hugely misleading measure.

@BlueOcean I mean they're doing it because they know people will buy it. They're banking on hardcore Nintendo folks, which I am not, and their potential new Zelda audience who got into BotW. It's smart business wise for them to get that $$$, it just sucks.

If people don't buy it, which I won't, they'll have to reexamine their price points for future eereleases. But that isn't going to happen.

Somewhere in the middle. I liked some of the indies coming like Outer Wilds. Tactics successor looked dope. Mario Golf might be cool? (Not high expectations, arcade golf has really been stagnant for years and Speed Golf looks gimmicky as hell). SSHD is a cool release but a joke at $60 MSRP.

I think it was a good, thorough show, it just largely missed any of the types of games I care about personally. Was hoping we'd see Shin Megami Tensei V. That would have been a realistic game to cover given its supposed release window. I knew Metroid 4 was a pipedream but I hoped a port of the Prime Collection might be a reality.

Echoing previous comments, but $60 for SSHD is ridiculous. I respect Nintendo and their premium pricing of content, they value their IP and work, but how do you charge $60 for a ten year old game with such modest improvements? Even freaking EA is more with it! Mass Effect Legendary has THREE huge RPGs all with substantial reworking for the same MSRP.

I agree with others, this should have been in a pack similar to Mario 3D All-Stars with comparable pricing. I've never played this one and heard it's one of the worst Zeldas, so I'll pass until it's $30 or less.

I'd like Mario + Rabbids, but I think $10 is my sweet spot on that.

Maybe they ditched voice actors because they are continuing with fat aka classic Sonic, who's mute.

I've never touched a NGPC so this is pretty interesting to me. I have a Lite though, so no mp and no fight stick, so might pass?

Been very excited about this since watching the Kickstarter video years ago. Probably a Day One purchase. Hopefully the soundtrack bops and drops on vinyl.

Since when did Square Enix publish Persona 5?

Have no interest so I don't honestly care. Maybe Joy-Cons that don't fail?

I know Nintendo likes their refreshes but it would be super annoying if a Switch Pro comes to light and there are titles that are only comparable with it. I was mega bummed they never got SNES games on vanilla 3DS, and there was no way I was buying a New 3DS just for that.

Going to grab this after I beat Odyssey. Having not played the original release I don't have any expectations other more of what I loved in 3D Land.

I'm hype for 3D World. I never owned a WiiU or any previous Nintendo home console. I've had a Switch Lite for less than a month. I adored 3D Land, and I'm excited about 3D World and hopefully playing it online with friends.

As a Switch newcomer I would agree that 2020 was pretty light for first-party Nintendo but I don't honestly care much. I bought a Switch probably 75% for Indies, 25% first-party stuff.

@Clyde_Radcliffe See I would say he was great in movies like Ace Ventura, Dumb and Dumber and The Cable Guy, because he was creating characters. Part of those characters will always be the madcap, slapstick Carrey antics, and I'm okay with that.

Perhaps Carrey was a little toned down in Sonic, but it still didn't really jive with me
He had a few good lines and moments.

@would_you_kindly So it's been a loooong time since I've seen it but my memory of The Grinch is that it was 50% amazing and 50% unwatchable filler, and a lot of that filler was him going wild. The Grinch is a cartoon, I get it, but there's still a balancing act that I don't think he respects - or that his directors fail to grasp.

I'm happy other people loved him in these roles.

I used to love Jim Carrey, but I don't care for him in roles where he is playing an established character and is basically just wild, manic Jim Carrey. See also: The Grinch.

This is either my favorite or second favorite Mario game, depending on when you ask me. I'm hype for 3d World which I have yet to play.

@SmaggTheSmug Edgy can either be read as sharp or provocative. I would argue this joke is neither. It's not particularly clever, nor is it provocative, given its been there, done that target.

Your interpretation may differ.

@Losermagnet "nihilistic, occassionally intelligent, Loony Tunes."

THIS

@SmaggTheSmug is a prison rape joke edgy in 2020? Was it really edgy when the game first released? I'm leaning toward no. It feels like lowest hanging fruit to me.

Asking for money before the full game list is released is pretty cruel. Suppose it doesn't matter, basically no way I am buying this. It would need to have like all of the Model 2 fighters and some Naomi stuff for me to be interested at that price, and even then it's not super convenient for multiplayer.

I think this is cool and the lense people should see this in is that if it's good for Japanese arcades than it's also good for the overall health of Sega as a company. The only way Sega reclaims any of their old glory is by innovating.

All I can do is laugh at these. I want one for the novelty factor, but as has been said many times over they look too small to be functional. Plus 4 games a piece is a joke. They should have 10 games each, minimum.

Honestly, they should increase the size 1.5x and have 20+ games and charge $75 it that's what it takes. The alternative is a novelty toy, which is cute, kind of cool, but wholly impractical as a way to enjoy Game Gear games in 2020.

I want to see Shadows of the Damned brought back, but that might be up to EA?

Still waiting for Sega Forever titles that aren't Genesis games or 1 of the 5 Dreamcast ports they've dumped everywhere...

I don't even own a Switch but Persona 5R and Sakura Wars seem like no brainers on Switch. Persona has traditionally been a PS series so I don't know if there is some agreement woth Sony holding it up, but given Scramble coming to Switch I would be surprised if 5R doesn't eventually jump over.

As a PS4 owner, I'm not even excited about 5R. I don't want to play a somewhat different version of a 90 hour game I already beat. Sega needs to invest more in Atlus. They are making awesome games, but it just seems like it takes them forever to churn out console games. They haven't released a single original game on current gen: 5 was cross-gen, 5R is a remake, Mirage Sessions is a port and Catherine is a port. They used to buoy this with smaller DS and 3DS releases, but that isn't a market anymore.
