Gotta pick up Holo Live’s Hanafuda.

Coral Island. That’s all I want. That’s all I need.

Nice! Hope there are lots of switch 2 games. That being said I am still holding out hope that coral
island gets ported.

I eagerly await “coming soon”.

Welp my wishlist is going to have a fit. So many new games to buy!

love that DK seems to have legs.

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.

Totally looking forward to experiencing this game. been on a VN kick lately.

Welp glad I already got my switch stuff. Guess I better get an alarmo soon.

Queen of All Cosmos needs to rein her husband in.

@jake1421 Virtua Fighter 2 is in kiwami 2.

Oh well, not on switch 2? Not on my radar.

I’ll get the demo but very lukewarm about the protag.

hmm sorta makes me wanna get the switch version for versatility but knowing me I will forget and simply buy the switch 2 version and keep it moving.

Yep after playing the demo I will wait for a sale.

well I still gotta beat the final boss so this will be useful.

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.

YES! Finally, my precious my precious is here!

Virtua Fighter 2!!!

Just need Yakuza 5 for Taiko no Tatsujin and I’m golden.

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.

Gonna try the demo for shinobi to help me decide.

well that gives me time to beat TOTK.

Well I am gonna be broke as heck this bday season.

That OST is already bumping.

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.

Edit: got Kiwami 2, so I’m happy!

Yes! give me more 3rd party games!!

ah well I likely won’t notice the difference.

@LuigiFanno1 I know that. I said I need one. If they existed I would have bought one already.

lol glad I waited. Defo need a 2 TB card though.

Cool, still on my buy list. Moving is eating my money.

@Maxz How dare you suggest sullying the image of Dame Judy Dench! Granted, if you have a life sized cut out of her, you have bigger problems.

The Prophecy is now complete .

Oh well. Backlog is massive.

Eventually but since I game alone it isn’t priority.

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).

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.

the devs already said they designed the game to allow for that so just looks like folks are enjoying the freedom given.

I will wait to see if it gets patched again. (since I have it already on series x)

Here’s your sign.

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.

I am glad I don’t have a ton of nostalgia for the old systems. Otherwise I would have to sell a kidney. Looks cool though.

I sorta want to hold out for a limited edition but will probably buy one in the next month or two.

Oh that was fast. I will put this game on the wishlist.

I wish everyone long and fruitful careers!

pleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease! Will totally double dip if they can stuff this game on switch 2. Love it and will extra love it on the go.

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.

As a casual pokemon player it looks like there are a number of nice things in this showing. Japan needs to quit with the theme parks. I can’t afford it!!! cries in brokie

Welp holiday sales are sorted lol. Gonna need a new “it prints money” gif.

Congrats! Welcome to the team!

(there’s gonna be meltdowns though and they are gonna be funny!)

@AlonditeFE As I am not the intended audience of a male power fantasy that is fair. While one guy on the internet’s viewpoint isn’t going to outweigh what I have gleaned from dealing with male gamers in general I acknowledge your lived experience and personal draw to souls games. But as I said before that was my observation and not lived experience (well, beyond my own playing souls games) and I accounted for nuance already. I already stated why I am not drawn to souls games.

However that being said that wasn’t the point of my original post as I was speaking to what draws females to some games vs others as my viewpoint and concern is female centric.

@NintendoWife I look at it as more Nintendo has timeless products that hold on to people longer. That is good because people with kids introduce their kids to Nintendo and people without kids toss their disposable income if they have it at Nintendo. Which also means that things like price increases are better endured as a family may not get a system but a single adult might. So it allows for multiple possible revenue streams. Also likely why nintendo doesn’t spend as much time chasing whales as they hook lifers instead.

@AlonditeFE shrugs And the surrounding discourse of souls games the is hierarchical “get gud” or rather in plain terms grow stronger/more skilled.

Granted I am not a guy (though I have a brother, work in a male dominated field and play games which means often I was interacting with males more often than not. Pretty sure the majority of folks that @ me here are guys too. ) So I ‘m going by what I have observed. Obviously individual people are varied, but females and males do respond to many things differently (instinctively, socially and emotionally).

Granted while I have played a few of them, I don’t feel particularly drawn to play souls games (despite liking NIOH and Sekiro due to the imo more fluidic movement speed) but the guys that I know that enjoy those games like the challenge of throwing themselves against the wall until they overcome. Which is often a theme of many male focused movies and shows. The struggle (and eventual success) to obtain power to be the last one standing is still a power fantasy. That it is difficult (so long as it is obtainable) doesn’t detract from that (often enhances it imo). And such power fantasies are usually ones that draw men. As I said this is my observation. I don’t have a male lived experience to know exactly what gets the testosterone going. Granted that didn’t mean that as a female I don't enjoy skill based endeavors, but they are rather hollow when the game presents an imo artificially high difficulty just to see if you break or waste tons of time to it. Which is (aside from the team work/social aspect) likely in part why some women like MMOs (I am not in that camp because burned by male player interaction/distraction but I have a few friends who love them so long as it is mic off or trusted friends) due to learning the skill mastering their character and then applying that skill to an adventure (which I feel soulsgames are more learning the pattern/skill of the world and tailoring your playthrough which is far more restrictive).

I mean maybe I am interpreting it wrong. Maybe souls players are just gluttons for punishment and that’s where it ends.
