About 11 hours…Rune Factory kidnapped me (90 hours).

I enjoyed Empire of Sin, had hoped for a better sequel eventually. Hope those impacted land on their feet.

lol had no clue. Doesn’t do much for me but good for those that are into those game. SF6 (port Ultra 4 Capcom) is enough for me.

Ugh I still need to buy a nice crt. I told myself I didn’t need once since I have the mini systems (and am not that invested in their libraries) but I may have to revisit this idea. Need to look at upscaling my saturn and dreamcast.

I have been binging Azuma like crazy, handheld only…no issues. perhaps this doesn’t impact everyone?

So that likely means patch later. Cool, Sony updated the functionality on the PS5 via update as well. Not a big deal.

All the words she wrote looks like a solid purchase for me.

I’ve been able to put a large number of games on the internal memory so I feel with game sizes the switch 2 space is well utilized. I’ve redowloaded all the NSO game libraries and still have room to spare for other games. So I don’t care either way. Nonetheless I await a 2TB microsd ex card.

Wow this is a lot. I sorta want to wait on bananza simply because other games are on sale…. but I wanna play it.

I need a wealthy sugar wife. Anybody got some good lottery numbers?

Empire of sin could use some more bug fixes but was a good game.

I always love seeing games like tamagotchi because it shows that graphics don’t have to be photo realistic (I forget when I am talking to xbox or ps folks.)

Super Robot Wars! Time to get beat up by the AI again!

No Piracy, No Problem.

Nintendo is not gonna let folks rob them and use their services as well. A bricked/banned system is exactly what a person paid for. The physical system, not the constantly updated OS or Online service. So for the “I paid for it so I can do what I want” folks, you can. You just only get what you paid for, the physical system. You have a TOS that you agree to from the start.

I love F4F but fortunately for my bank account they haven’t made anything I’ve wanted in years. I’m out of space anyway lol.

If I sold or traded games I would be fine with the current state of physical on all systems. As I don’t and I am tired of all the increasing clutter let alone more furniture to store and house said clutter, I happily went digital with the switch 2. At this point I am too old for physical, and I am happy not to add to the pile. I love the virtual game cards as well. Makes swapping between systems easy.

I feel like my lumber yard is sick of seeing me because every time I look I am down there trying to get wood for shelves for amiibo.

I like the Olympic games and strikers because it gives more variety if you don’t like the sports offer with the single sports games. I simply like Strikers because soccer is my favorite sport.

@Orwellian87 MS is the largest 3rd party publisher in the world. They have games that go to Nintendo systems. So this is just as relevant as if Square Enix downsized.

So Cutie Honey reboot number 12?

that one lady that was screaming “K” louder than everyone else was like “I am getting paid today…or telling all my friends I am in a commercial.”

I really want this but I am currently playing Rune Factory and I am trying not to pile up games on the new system. Let me pretend to be organized for a little while.

Preordered the amiibo. I am working on Rune Factory so not sure if I will get DK day 1 but I will load the eshop credit (if I don’t get distracted by sales).

Can they port the first game?

@martynstuff I am surprised you didn’t hit the character limit.

@KevTastic84 Absolutely not. The artstyle horrified me as a kid. You know when they would do grotesque closeups. Plus it was idiotic and vulgar (my opinion, if you like it you like it.) Certain stuff was banned in my house as well (Beavis and Butthead, Simpsons, South Park. Not to mention I couldn’t relate to the subject matter anyway. )

Eh that was some cartoons in the 90’s. I was fine with Gargoyles, Aladdin, Doug, Tenko, X-men, Spider-man, Captain Planet, Biker Mice from Mars, Talespin, King Arthur and the Knights of Justice, Static Shock (was that 2000’s?) Sailor Moon (granted that’s anime)…the list goes on. Plus the 90’s had tons of live action and game shows for kids (guts, legends of the hidden temple, carmen sandiego, all that, Gullah Gullah island) But I spent my formative years on PBS or reading and my personal sensibilities developed from there. That being said by 14 I had curbed my TV habit to focus on school and work. So I am not current with Millennial pop culture after a point.

Call me when Perfume gets in.

Oh I hated animaniacs as a kid (loved the geography episode though) always felt too casually violent and obnoxious. So this will be a pass for me. Tiny Toons adventures was pretty much my limit for that. Good for those that are fans though.

Some men want to see the world burn.

Review Bombing is such a waste of time beyond small businesses. At least with a small business it is a direct rating and they panic if they see that. Metacritic is too many degrees of separation, I doubt anybody at Nintendo is watching metacritic like a hawk (at least on user reviews, different for critical reviews) unless sales eventually tank (which they won’t). All it really does is make it other users’ problem (skewed reviews, click bait articles, skewed discourse). For me anyway it just means ignore (which is the opposite intended effect), when normal reviews would have made me pay attention to see why it was trending lower. “making your voice heard” only works in the internet echo chamber. You wanna be heard? Money talks, BS walks.

Isn’t the PS5 just a more powerful PS4?

Whew, I am trying to spend less but all these games is making it difficult. Gonna try to stick to the budget though. Looking forward to so many games! DragxDrive, VF REVO, DK, Story of Seasons, Kaname Date, Hyrule Warriors….the list goes on and on!

I have no opinion either way but simply wish that DF wasn’t the only “source of truth”. Other outlets don’t do their own research (even if they come to the same conclusion, I don’t care) and just repeat what DF says nor does DF interview Nintendo/original sources to get dev or engineer viewpoint. It is impossible to remove bias with anything reported by a human so better to have multiple independent analysis sources. And if they want to be taken seriously, peer review.

Street Fighter 6. I am so happy this game exists and runs well on switch 2. So excited VF REVO is on the way.

I always feel life sim games are not meant to be binged because just like what they playfully emulate, life is repetitive. What makes these games work is the dopamine hit of performing a familiar task quickly, successfully and without significant stress (so the usual opposite of work for most people) but if you play too long eventually that wears off and you are…bored. It reminds me of why my mother can’t understand why I love farming games but hated growing up in a rural area.

This sounds like a good game to add to the rotation.

ooh I mostly played Puzzle Bobble but this looks like a cute homage/new entry to bubble bobble.

Looks good, I like the environment attacks. I know Marian is gonna be doing more crunches. Poor woman.

Good problem to have. As always the switch family form factor has made handhelds bearable for me. I have only been playing my switch 2 handheld right now and I love it. I hope everyone that wants switch 2 eventually gets it.

Yeah you gotta work two jobs even if you have a “good job”. At least if you wanna retire ever.

Waiting on 2TB. Will likely need 4 of them even if I don’t transfer all my switch games.

ooooh I am very curious. This is shaping up to be an expensive year.

I swear ‘letter to myself’ by Futhermore popped into my head from this trailer.

Hmm the tunes are too good to chiptune but I will try it out.

Let’s Go! Tiger Uppercut!

the more I think about it I get the tiny dpad idea. I had an N64 launch year and I could count on my hands the number of times I used the dpad. Same with gamecube. I think at the time the engineers were trying to make the most used buttons more accessible via size and I that that contributes to the love it or hate it response to the controller. A lot of games during the gamecube era felt tailored to the controller (including 3rd parties) when it was simply the more used buttons/sticks were prominent. As I remember playing the gamecube I understand how I developed a bias to the “Nintendo control layout” especially since it wasn’t really standardized until the wii and forward.

Go go Rune Factory! Seriously, it is so good!

I love the genre spread for this launch lineup.

Still buying my launch games.

Cool! I will try to get them.

@WiltonRoots My bad. ahem

How dare they! It’s anti-consumer, my life is ruined! Time to sail the high seas! Why isn’t it free?!

That better? (Geez that was exhausting to even type. )

Makes sense. As you need both joycon2 to play. Would get really expensive otherwise. Plus as a movement game you don’t want a bunch of people crammed together. Looking forward to playing.

Sakunahime being in this game makes it an instant win (so glad they kept the same seiyu) but honestly this has been a blast to play. I do think you get too many pieces of equipment too quickly though. The farming aspect is up to you really. You have set crop goals so you can set in and control it as much as you want or leave it to the system to handle. But if you want higher level crops you need to do it yourself. The farming has less risk and isn’t dependent on leveling tools but other than that I feel it has a good feedback (granted I like the focus on not overly planning because if I want to focus on farming I would play a bokumono game.). The game basically gets out of your way based on your play preference.

@readalie Thank you for the work that you do. You provide a great service to your community.

@Jade37 I’m gonna agree to disagree because that is a disturbing take. Extreme reactions? A death threat (not in response to one’s own life being in danger) is not “extreme”, it is insane and what a world we live in if that is even on the table of reactions over a fricken product. People need to take responsibility for regulating their own emotions and behaviors. Also death threats should be responded to because they should always be taken seriously. There is no scenario where this is ok, or should even be an option as a response/reaction or accepted as a possible response to anything. If you see something to sympathize about that or think that this was “cultivated” then you go right ahead. But please stay away from me. Have a nice day.
