The food waste is a shame (I’m no longer surprised by human greed). MCDonalds isn’t healthy but I am sure some homeless person could have used some food.
Likely won’t release before the physical OST in Japan. That being said they have tons of back content to focus on. Play the new games if you wanna hear the OST right now.
Oh that’s smart. Nintendo is back to marketing Mario as a formative childhood memory. Same as the TV Show/cartoon/anime did for 80’s babies and kids. And this may get kids earlier as it marketed at language instruction for young children. Getting ready to grow that next batch of Nintendo lifers. My only issue is the product line is very boy/male focused. But not surprised.
It’s utterly terrifying how products shape our whole lives, but as an adult watching PBS getting gutted in my country, I understand how vital such things are.
Agreed it sucks that the games are being compared instead of taken for their own merit. Even worse due to the same devs as devs often get hit with the fanatic tsunami of “Make the same game cuz I like it! Wait why do you keep making the same game?! Wait why are you making something different than the game I know you for?!”
Just play the game. And enjoy it (or not) on its own merits.
For me I don’t think I have played a game like bananza. It reminds me of the freedom of builder games like minecraft (I don’t play that genre so this is a surface feeling) but the destructive power of Hulk ultimate destruction while having this really affable charm that keeps me invested as the two games I just mentioned this reminds me of would have me running for the hills. Yet that doesn’t sound right because it just feels like its own thing. I am loving it.
LOL I’m happy personally. New Octopath Traveler, VF 2, new Katamari, new monster hunter stories. All I see is more games to buy! I think I will have to cave and buy a 1TB card.
Later though. Had a perfect storm of expenses so I am limping through the next two months.
Plus games that skipped switch are going to switch 2. That bodes well for future support.
Virtua Fighter 2 is going to switch 2!!!!!!!! That’s enough for me. woo SEGA look at you being all nice!
So getting Hyrule Warriors of course, Monster hunter, katamari, pac man world, ff tactics, vf 2 (I mean Yakuza Kiwami 2), I guess I am rebuying kiwami for switch 2, OCTOPATH TRAVELER 0!!!
Geez I am not gonna have time to buy first party games.
If I throw logic out the window I would like to see BG3, Age of Mythology, Yakuza kiwami 2, oblivion remastered, starfield, a fallout collection, and coral island.
That is cool! Didn’t know that happened. I love the expressions DK makes. Nintendo loves using character body language as a HUD and it is always fun. Probably why I don’t get lost in general in nintendo adventure games. Meanwhile in other games I am wandering around lost as heck (Tomb Raider Survivor trilogy is a recent offender).
Well I wont get my hopes up until MS makes announcements but I would buy/double dip on any TES games (except online) or starfield. Same with age of mythology.
I hope there are lots of early successes considering the state of the war by the time Ganon is sealed, without losing the feeling that the sages are on the backfoot.
Nothing wrong with that. I think folks forget there are millions of gamers but billions of people on the planet. Cool that he wants to try the body of work he was in. It is fun watching actors watch their own movies because it’s obvious that either they are focused on doing the role or often have no idea how the finished product comes together and its fun to see that delight (for some mild embarrassment) and awe that is different from the standard viewer.

Re: Random: Don't Worry Folks, Nintendo Says Mario And Peach Are Just "Good Friends"
Shippers are so odd. Who cares? That doesn’t make the karts go faster or stomp more goombas. Bad enough Bowser is a whole arse stalker. So creepy.

Well I wont get my hopes up until MS makes announcements but I would buy/double dip on any TES games (except online) or starfield. Same with age of mythology.

Re: Nintendo's LEGO Game Boy Officially Revealed, Available 1st October 2025
