Sorta figured that was on the way. Congrats to the MH fans!

While the hype for 7 always passed me by (during that time the hype buildup for OoT was in full swing and the marketing for FF7 for me at least was offputting), it is crazy that we are getting these games on switch2.

I love the switch 2 so much I am at the point that I have insignificant gripes that I normally don’t have. Mainly I want new joycon2 colors and am awaiting my Zelda edition. The system is pretty much what I wanted: iterate on switch, improve the hardware and more 3rd party support.

As usual I can’t buy or beat games fast enough so I have a steady buffet of entertainment and Nintendo is one of the few devs I trust will keep steady releases. (Bethesda. Please get TES6 out while I still have vision. Thank you. ) I do still juggle switch and switch 2, but I’m losing interest in buying switch versions to have the “most access” and just going with the switch 2 version.

Other than that, just waiting on microsd express to come down in price so I can get a 1TB card (not a switch 2 complaint but since I am digital only for switch 2 games it does make me more interested in an upgrade.). I simply hope the 3rd party support keeps up and that Nintendo gets more dev kits out. My migration back to Nintendo only has begun!

As always, happy for support…hoping for NHL.

I can hear the sound from just looking at it.

It is lovely in a world that relies on gritty “realistic” angry mcfurious guys, or anime angry mcfurious guys, that an ape in a pair of overalls and his singing human bestie can lead a game still.

Ouch those PS5Pro numbers… However despite the (expected) drop, Nintendo is still selling switch 2 above the competition.

Will pass because… Souls game; however super excited this got a release date.

I play docked only now (was handheld only at launch because no TV set up) so while I still want a screen protector, it isn't critical. System looks new. Now if only I could find the time to unbox my switch OLED.

Really wish Bamco would let us play soul calibur 6 (I’m less salty with 2 on NSO however).

I don’t think i played the game in the article. Might give it a go if it reviews well.

That’s ok, Korra. I’m ready to bring the beatdown when you are!

@garfreek I appreciate the apology. No harm, no foul.

As for me and my house: “ain’t nobody got time for that!” I gotta be having an absolute train wreck of a day to swing at somebody first. Like I said, usually if an article is not to my taste I simply avoid. No need to engage or try to make the author have a bad day. I do wanna see more reviews though. I can’t play fast enough to vet new games.

@garfreek Where is the complaint? I simply said we can wait on Nintendo and that there isn’t a need to speculate and requested more reviews. That is a statement and a request.

I didn’t express a grievance or even annoyance. Am I not allowed to comment now?

That being said I try to avoid the rumor posts anyway so I shouldn’t bother you again.

EVERYTHING is in September lol.

I’m not getting it as I am not a batman fan but I find the release date funny.

We can just wait for the announcement. No need to speculate at this point.

Can we get an uptick in game reviews?

Congrats! I need to watch some gameplay as I am on the fence.

I would have lost my mind for these as a kid.

@JR150 Yep. I’m not an FPS fan but was over the moon at the COD announcement. If third parties feel there is profit to be made in the Nintendo ecosystem, then they will keep bringing games.

As expected. Hoping more 3rd party devs drop switch support. Not because I don't want the support, but because we have a better chance of release parity if devs focus on Switch 2 rather than have them split focus on the entire switch family. As it is still easier to skip Nintendo entirely. I want as many games as Switch 2 can handle. Obviously Nintendo and 2nd party devs can do whatever they want. I suspect indies will stick with switch for now.

Very pretty, but souls like is a pass for me.

Nice! Happy to see the support! Still hoping the rest of the survivor trilogy will come over but I might get this.

I’m thinking heavy discount purchase. The new content is enough to buy again but I don’t need it day one.

There aren’t really that many remakes. As many of the games people misremember as remakes are reboots or reimaginings with different stages. Brain just smooshes it all together.

Anyway, game looks good. I’ll get it some time next year. Trying to focus on Switch games to clear out my wishlist. Will start going all in on Switch 2 games next year. Hopefully my den will be fully set up by then.

Lot of variety with these. Not sure if I will get any, budget is beyond tight, but I’m interested in a few.

GETTING! I died so many times in the first Toy Story game. Watch Out!

It’s on my list.

I feel like this is a TPC idea through and through. Nintendo doesn’t usually make cumbersome products like this.

I will double dip on switch family when the game is cheap, just for easy access but otherwise my wii version is still the best version.

Game looks good. Too bad I don’t play games on my phone.

However it is good that Nintendo has a mobile focus. Many younger people are not going to play consoles at the same rate older gens did. And with gaming becoming more expensive and cost of living going up, mobile will be more of a mainstay. Nintendo goes where the users are.

Kinda think I might replay 5 but 2 is kicking my teeth in right now.

Will await the Switch 2 version.

Ugh the wait until BF is gonna wear me out. Opens LinkedIn Back to looking for more work.

can you use pets or does it have to be people?

YES! Let that 3rd party support flow!!!!

Disclaimer: I don’t like shooters. I just want devs to throw everything at Nintendo.

Edit: Oh you play as other soldiers than American? That’s cool!

Ok, I’ll buy the game again. SEGA hopefully will green light those ports.

It is always interesting the games that devs notice. Personally I would not have expected Animal Crossing to be on Suzuki-san’s radar.

Digging into the backlog and gonna be a one system woman this next gen. Curious as to what things will look like on the other side.

welp no 5th dip for me.

rereads comment Hylia’s grace, I’ve bought this game too many times.

@DennisReynolds I didn’t say I don’t like that this exists. No part of my post said that. I literally stated “not sure how I feel about it yet”. I also never said extending games is a new thing, rather I talked about the increase of it and gave examples. And concluded mentioning ratio increase. I am aware there is a witcher 4 game coming out. That has little bearing on what I said or why. The focus of my comment is not on the game itself but rather its age and thus the platforms originally supported and how that support has changed on the same game. (Hence my examples of HFW which dropped PS4 support, GTA/Skyrim are everlasting ports with content gated on newer systems and Nintendo having Switch 2 and switch now that I think about the wiiu ports content. )

Again, either you didn’t read my post or you responded to the wrong person so I still don’t understand the point of your reply. As I think there is some confusion here, I am just going to move on. I know sometimes people like to shotgun replies when they think someone is being negative (my post is again not negative but instead concerned which I also stated) so I think that may be what has happened here. I will make the assumption here that you are looking forward to the expansion. Wonderful! I hope you enjoy it. Note my concerns, which were not what you replied to, in no way diminish my hope that you have a good time gaming.

Have a nice day.

@DennisReynolds ? I never questioned why it exists. I don’t understand your response. Perhaps you tagged me by mistake?

I want to get into this game but the story itself makes me bounce off of it. Oh well maybe when the game is complete.

Well there goes my hopes of a 4-6 remake or an expansion to 10 offline. Or a remake of 9.

Curious about this one. Seems that a lighter tone across the board is the current direction. At least at first glance. DQ is often deceptively dark so who knows. Especially since this is likely digging up 5 again.

Not enough for me to form an opinion. Need to know more about the story and full party. I will wait for more info.

(I do wonder if they are pulling ideas from DQ6 though.)

I know everyone else is lamenting possibly not getting this, but I’m more concerned about this being the direction of gaming. Due to long dev times and cost are devs just gonna staple expansions and upgrades to old games and drag people to the next gen that way? “Hey that game you bought 12 years ago? well it’s not done now but if you want to play the new content you have to buy it again for the next gen.” We are seeing this for a lot of games now. Horizon Forbidden West’s expansion burning shores, GTA 5 or Skyrim were always funny examples; even Nintendo is porting switch games with switch 2 exclusive expansions.

At first I didn’t really notice because it meant old games I love (or don’t care about) are getting refreshes/expansions without waiting on a full remake. However, as I start to look big picture and I think about how fast actual sequels came out when I was a kid… I am not sure what is better. A game that lasts over a decade or sequels in a five or so year window. Gaming as a landscape feels like it is losing that constant fresh content to inspire brand loyalty.

As an ps5/series x gamer it makes me feel there are less “new” games coming out, something I don’t feel with switch 2 even if I don’t buy every game they release. Just feels like different approaches. Not sure how I feel about it yet. I have enough backlog, multiplats and indie games to play, so maybe it isn’t a big deal. Older systems had remakes and ports of old games too, I just feel the ratio is changing.

Sounds like it should be a fun ride. Games like this I can wait on (especially with the Switch 2 delay) so I will take a look around BF and if not then next year.

Why is it so cute?!

Looks to be fun when I jump back in!

If VF 5 ever lets me go lol.

“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.“

I just love the fact that the minis and NSO allow for playing old games on modern TVs with original style controllers. That was really why VC didn’t work for me. I respect Nintendo’s attempt to make the wii mote an all in one but the release of original style controllers works best for that nostalgia itch for me.

Anybody else feel like Nintendo is doubling down on the exploration and collectathon aspects of games? Was talking to my mom about it today (she now wants this game) and we agreed current Nintendo felt like the N64 era a bit.
