"It'll be a SUPER time!" - Super Nintendo Switch XL Pro confirmed.

Besides that, E3 stinks this year. Nintendo already "won" it.

I don't care one way or another, it's just E3. If I don't know it now, I'll know it tomorrow, or in a few days, or never. I don't mind!

@NeonPizza I DO get that. I had a short burst of "I want games to be hardcore". Played XCOM and Fire Emblem with perma death, tremendously enjoyed Dark Souls I and Bloodborne. But that was that. I also get really pissed in teambased games like Battlefield or COD when you have no chance against a good team when you're playing with randos, but you don't have the time or ambition to get into a group of players just for that one game.

Being grown up with all responsibilities and crap, I do enjoy the "mobility" and the vast array of "retro" games and remakes on the Switch. Sold my gaming PC years ago. Got rid of my PS4 years ago.

But yeah, I do "get" the hardcore gaming crowd! It's a great feeling of accomplishment beating that hard stage or enemy. But I am old. I want to relax!

Rise needs content or a "Questmaker".

@sikthvash I know what you mean, I clearly notice a difference in reaction times and memory (remembering combors or something like that is extremely difficult for me).

Im an oldschool gamer. Emphasis on old. I don't have time or interest anymore to spend countless hours in a game to "get gud". Right now I'm enjoying Monster Hunter Rise, have hardly any problems and am a beast with the Bow, quite formidable with the Hammer, but that's about it.

Back in the day, on NES for example, when games were really hard, I tried a few times, but if it was too hardcore, I quite and went out play outdoors. To me games are art and enjoyment, if they are not enjoyable anymore, I stop.

I also never was too keen on competitive games. Besides owning the arcades on MK1 and MK2 machines back in the day when you trained your immune system by using a grimy arcade-stick for hours and rubbing your eyes plenty of times, I usually gravitate more towards coop games or "building" games like Two Point Hospital. And I am fine with that. Gaming is a pastime and not a job or a grind for me.

Super Nintendo Switch Advance or bust!

Super Nintendo Switch.

@DeclanS98 I dont think that women in general feel "mistreatment" every day. Not in the western world at least. This is not Iran. Reacting to one's physical form is perfectly natural, this goes for both genders. I respect all human beings the same way, no matter if man or woman.

I'm not comparing women's issues to men. I say that the great solution for most woke filmmakers is to have a "male" role portrayed by a woman. So instead of showing a strong woman in her own rights, they show us a man, that happens to be a woman. If you look closely, you will see this. This is hypocritical and no fix for no problem at all and the reason why mos woke movies suck and are rejected by sane people.

You know that 60% of higher education in the western world is held by women right? You do know that most men in the entertainment industry nowadays are portrayed as the bumbling fool who needs a strong woman to fix things for him, right? Think Homer Simpson, think Peter Griffin, think that Jim Belushi Show, and most other sitcoms.

Do men complain? No. Because it's just escapism. It's fun. Same with women in videogames. I'm old and when I was a kid we were raised to stand above things that might insult or anger us. Both genders. I know plenty of women who are strong successful females, with a family, lovely kids and a career who dont give two toddler-farts about bikini-clad anime women with thick thighs. Why would they? They have "real" things to worry about.

Hey and I respect your opinion, but you know, ANY form of censorship leads down a dark path, as history tells us. Please be mindful of that. No one of us holds the one and only truth that's applicable to each and every individual in society.

@DeclanS98 Violent games don't promote murder. Cartoonish, overdrawn females don't objectify women. There's plenty of places for that fight to be had in the real world, video games and other forms of entertainment usually is not that place. Look at all the garbage woke movies that bomb at the box office. Showing women so strong they are basically men. What do these do for women rights in muslim countries for example. Also, a cartoon girl with huge hips is a problem, but women drooling over six-packed men in advertisement and movies is not? Neither is, really.

@anoyonmus Imagine it's 8K capable and retails for 600!

@playoldgames Frank, for more masculinity. Not the toxic one. The good one.

@anoyonmus I'd guess 379,- or something other shy of 400,-. I think it'd be easily worth it.

Super Nintendo Switch really makes the most sense and is a terrific blast from the past. My second guess (more like wishful thinking) would be "Nintendo Switch Advanced". The Nintendo Switch Lite not being called "Micro" seems like a missed opportunity then!

Videobait. N'ah thanks.

Hospital was just great, have about 300 hours on it. Love it. Even have it on PC too. Can't wait for more two point crazy bonkers action. If you've never tried Hospital, you're missing out.

That title. Makes sense. Will buy.

@SortingHat This is an old conversation, so I might miss something. Just about the whole situation globally, just look at the different states in the US, many of them doing completely away with mask mandates or never had them and they don't have worse numbers than their locked down neighbour states. Look at Sweden in Europe. Look at Africa. In the coming weeks and months more and more reports will hit mainstream that the harsh measures didn't do any good, that the psychological effect on the elderly and especially kids was devastating, that we will have a deep recession and inflation will come to haunt us all.

When you compare absolute death numbers beteween countries and previous years it's really easy to figure out that the impact of the virus itself was largely overblown for political reasons.

THAT said my heart goes out to everyone who suffered directly from illness and their relatives, as well as everyone that still will be affected harshly by this mess in the coming years.

Just in this year over 5 Million people died from hunger, mostly children. And no one cares. Just saying.

But this political discussion doesn't belong here, really. Also I stopped trying to talk sense with people. To each their own. Challenging opinions these days will upset all the wrong people for the right reasons.

Best game I had in a VERY VERY long time. Loving every minute of it. Yes, it's more streamlined and "accessible" than older titles. Yes that means it's "easier". But hey. It's still great. And I think Stories 2 will be MUCH better than it already looks judging from the trailers.

@Azuris Exactly. Society has many problems and it seems we're trying to fix all the wrong things. Equal opportunity for everyone should be the goal. Taking responsibility for oneself and your kids a given. One can dream.

@Kriven Thank you for your post.

@JimmySpades I recently started playing old gameboy games on one of the "pocket" consoles. The one that looks like a shrunk gameboy advance, forgot it's fancy chinese name. It's really enjoyable. The pixelart on old GB games is SO underappreciated. Mad detail that was lost in a vomit-green-blur back in the day now shines on a backlit display with a quick response time. Also, it's amazing despite (or BECAUSE of) the limitations they had to work with, how much gameplay and great ideas they were able to squeeze out of those games.

I feel like this "optimization for the most fun" now with basicly limitless ressources on the hardware side (especially in the PC filed) is lost today. Except on the switch. There are good ports and bad ports, but it's with the first party title where they try to squeeze every last bit of performance (and fun) out of a fixed system with limited ressources. I guess that's where my love for handhelds comes from.

Just for informations sake it's gotta be said, these are TRUE analogue photos. Think polaroids. They will slowly develop and no shaking or blowing on them will not speed things up.

Personally I think this is a pretty weird (and expensive) application to use real self-developing film for. If you ever get your hands on fujifilms instax mini cameras, especially the neo 90 and the SQ 6, those make really nice analogue photos that are vivid and "soft", especially when taking pictures out in nature. Printing digital art on it... meh. Not for me.

@JimmySpades Did they already ship?

NFTs are the latest ***** fad. If the future ought to be "green" it must be without crypto and NFT. Besides that, that whole system is just one global blackout away from failing. Like many other systems.

@Kalmaro Oh okay didn't know about that one. Well if I were a CAPCOM representative I'd say: "Aren't we great offering you the option to do so by a paid function instead of you being stuck with a terrible voice choice?"

But I'm not so I do get you.

@Kalmaro You can easily redo your hunters appaearance for free at any time. If you want to change you gender (and possibly your name too) it's a paid service, but you seem to get ONE free voucher.

@Alienfreaks04 LOL nice timetraveling comment... it was from 2013. Now we know, Disney burned everything to the ground. Oh how naive I was...

@LeonAlistair Yeah I've figured that much about the crafting and farming. I'm alternating between bow and hammer setups, loving both playstyles. So it's really capped at HR 7 so far?

Weird because for newcomers it really seems like the game just stops. Yes sure I saw the credits roll and all (way too early, way too easy imho), but yeah.

Oh well then, I'm curious what the 27th will bring (besides a few new monsters). I'd love some sort of custom arena challenges with scaling rewards. Imagine playing in the arena with 5 monsters and all of them going onto each other's throats too. I'd even take some kind of "wyvern race", just imagine Mario Kart but with people riding monsters instead, haha.

Can't wait for this. Really enjoying MHR. Just one question, I did almost everything and now I'm stuck at HR7, I don't even have HR quests yet in the village but I already beat the two elder dragons multiple times and saw most likely all the story cutscenes. Is that it so far? What else to do until the update?

That boxart though. Game itself looks... meh.

@erretter True. I love the bog standard Switch Controller, it really fits nicely into my hands, but not having analogue triggers in this day and age, at least on the pro controller is a huge oversight in my book and a reason why I stay away from more "realistic" driving games on Switch.

Does it have analogue triggers?

Lovely. Let me preorder!!

@Mr-Fuggles777 Your Avatar/Nickname wins the internet sir.

These things are really appreciated, keep'em coming. I prefer the OG Tetris 99 though.

lol that one dude totally is JOEL.

@SeeEmilyPlay I see where you're coming from. I don't mind SO much in MHR, but I definitely know what you are experiencing. Others ruined all sort of games for me, it was back in some Battlefield game, can't remember which, where I just had enough.

"Oh okay, we're not doing the tactical sound and logical thing and play as a team, okay, so we all play quake, not giving a ***** how often we respawn."

Then EA turned even more D and I noped out of most triple A gaming, gaming altogether and multiplayer with strangers too.

The Nintendo Switch is where the reclusives live.

@Panagiotis When they're in their last cycle before dying, drop a pit-trap and once they fall into them, hit them with the red tranquilizer things. Once or twice usually does the trick. You get a monster that's dozing off, halfway buried in dirt. You don't get to take the monster home with you...

@Rika_Yoshitake Funny how you contradict yourself. I think the only one really to blame here is either Capcom for not implementing settings to prohibit certain items, or Nintendo for not giving us an easy way to communicate what's going to happen.

I think theres should be an option to restrict items when creating a game for others to join. This annoys the hell out of me.

Ahahahaha.
LOVELY.
Yes I'm that kind of weird...

Seeing that kind of costumes I'm glad that not everything has gone woke yet. Nice stuff!

Congratulations, I guess. I don't mind who runs the site though. I do enjoy the "hello lovely people" line in some of the reviews. Besides that, you're just something I consume from time to time, like Oreos!

Take care.

Oh and that Kate Grey person looks sympathetic in a nerdy way. Which is good.

There's a typo in the joys. Yes, I am that guy.

Don't like the artstyle, but won't care if it's actually good.

This looks like hot garbage. As some of you already stated, remaster the old ones.

Loved the first one. Such great atmosphere.

Ah such good memories. For the power it had I think the GBA was the best utilized handheld ever. Loved the original one, even with a wonky wormlight.

Better than a human centipede.
