Well. Wow!
Impressive and unexpected!

Getting strong HALO vibes, and that's a good thing. Meaning, this could be for Nintendo what HALO was to MS. Bring it on!

I love these types of games, love the art style too and hey it's metal slug! Gonna pick this one up!

Now that looks wholesome! If it can run well on Switch, I'll give it a try!

Such a misleading artwork!

GTA V or bust! I’d buy it a fourth time!

@DwaynesGames As a customer I'd love to have a choice. I have no control over what is being added to the service. Or when. I'm pretty sure if you multiply their subscription fee by 6 years (as long as I am subscribed) it doesn't amount to the sum of money I'd have put into a proper VC implementation.

I'd even go all in on the e-shop if I had a) some way to permanently "own" and archive my purchases and b) prices of digital media are at least 10% lower than physical media, like it should be.

All of this is a mess.

@MetalGear_Yoshi It would also switch up that whole pirating and emulation debate. If you offer a convenient and reasonably priced way to enjoy your old games, people wouldn't have to resort to other ways of playing them.

Recently I watched some hidden gems videos on the WII and discovered plenty of games I never played back when I had a WII. So, what now? Getting a pre-owned WII again and paying ridiculous prices to scalpers. That's your model?

Ugh.

I'd even be for reruns of actual physical hardware of older systems, maybe with a few technical tweaks here and there. Can you imagine a freshly released Mega Drive with HDMI out and CRT filters?

Oh yes I know about Analogue, but even their "Mega Drive" is out of production. Ugh.

@StarryCiel Thanks for the rundown!

I really like the convenience of this and also the quality of emulation. Simple. Functional. Great.
Now if I just could get the games I want individually, like in the virtual console... that'd be great. Nintendo is leaving so much money on the road it's baffling.

I gladly would have spent the money that went to emulation handhelds like the Miyoo mini and Anbernic devices towards a virtual console kind of thing.

I'm curious how Switch successor will handle things.

I'm heavily invested in retrogaming for a while now. Not looking back. Back around OG Xbox, Gamecube, Dreamcast, games were fun, unique, brimming with creativity and complete too.

Modern AAA gaming is a joke. I love my Switch, mostly for Indies, but that's about modern gaming for me.

@shonenjump86 Which ones are the best you'd say? I really try getting into them but so far failed somewhat.

Today's sensibilities are skewed and all over the place.

The big question: does it support analogue triggers like on the 8bitdo ultimate controller?

GTA V STILL in the TOP 10 tells you all you need to know about that game that keeps on giving.

While I expect nothing of that sort, this would be a good opportunity for countering the drop in shares due to Switch 2 delay rumors by just showing us a teaser of a not particularly well lit Switch 2 console and the number 2024.

Not holding my breath though, just thinking out loud.

People chill! All it means is that they will charge you 60,- regardless of actual scope of the game, that is all! don’t fear it being „fluffed up“ as long as you are willing to shell out 60 bucks for an arcade game!

Two grand games indead. Even though I'm too old and slow for Gleylancer.

This would break me emotionally.

@Mana_Knight Still holding my breath for the Super Switch!

So basically someone makes something, but it could be someone else too. Great.

You look at this guy and then at what kind of sentences criminals involved in sex crimes get in Europe (basically a slap on the wrist more often than not) and you wonder.

@Polvasti It's the "sandbox experience" that got me hooked on GTA V for 5 years straight. It was great, almost felt like an MMORPG. I don't care much for GTA VI story (im afraid of current political ideologies being ingrained into it) even though 5's story and acting was great. If they can continue and even widen the success of the online portion of the game, we will play GTA VI well into 2035 i think, again across three console generations!

That said, I'm busy playing a whole bunch of retro games and not sitting on hot coals about GTA VI.

I don't care for any of this shyte, just waited to see what Sega had to announce. I'm somewhat pleased.

We live in the age of fear.

@TheGuy of 16-bit systems? I think we're pretty much "very confident" about emulating them for a quite a while.

Too bad they never expanded the Sega Genesis Collection and Nintendo Online is slow AF in their Genesis schedule...

Oh boy...

I never liked JRPGs. Then I played Persona 5, got hooked and stayed for the fantastic music! My copy of this should arrive today.

@JohnnyMind Makes sense! Thanks for that!

@JohnnyMind Ah thank you! So I probably enjoy roguelites more. I do get the origin of "roguelike", that old text-based game and all, but "roguelite"? How did that happen?

@JohnnyMind Please elaborate on the difference. Sorry, I'm old and don't pay attention much!

Calling it now, it will be some sort of Super Smash Sega Brothers or an MMO.

I love pixelart. But this does seem to be a tad too low of a resolution for me.

I don't want this at all. Make the switch a bit more powerful, put an assistant-GPU into the dock and call it a day. The formfactor and concept are both perfect.

Oh wait, give it ANALOGUE triggers please! Okay? Thanks!

@AstroTheGamosian Marina Sirtis? Wow that's nice to know. Never watched the show in english (or a lot at all) so I wouldn't know. Hm. Gonna check out some clips now! Thanks!

@NintendoLife Good conversations seem to emerge naturally, it's a bit of a shame comments ought to be removed because they happen to be "off topic". But I do see your point.

@Zuljaras I agree! Not so sure about Gargoyles though (the HD remaster, not the classic one).

@Kb111 That's a sad thing to hear and I am sure it left a lot of trauma in you and your mother, which makes it difficult to take another point of view. I guess all that's going on here is that it is not good to generalize. And yes, even while most of us try to be somewhat decent human beings and many others do too, you will run into the odd a-hole, that's for sure.

But they are not the norm.
They are not everywhere.

They tend to seem to pool around power and money though...

@Zuljaras Well single mothers have a tough time because they come with baggage. And I don't mean the kids. Not saying "it's everyone's own fault" but I AM saying that nowadays choices in sexual partners are often not well thought through. Western society's families have gone down a cliff the past 20 years all in the name of "freedom" and "fun". No one talks about freedom coming with responsibility.

It's only western societies that have gotten way more cruel, all while wearing a fake mask of tolerance and understanding. It's all a ***** show. But somewhere inbetween there are people that carry so much love in their heart, they can spread it like a blanket to at least temporarily keep the coldness of the western world at bay.

Think that's too poetic? Too much drama?

Well maybe you've gotten cold too.

@samuelvictor Society and relationships are broken, i cheer for everyone that's strong, loving and caring enough to pick up the pieces and forms a FAMILY from it. Family isn't how it's formed, but how it's LIVED from day to day. From personal experience I've seen far better "step parents" than "actual parents".

It's a very sensitive subject for me, especially in western cultures and I am perfectly convinced that unconditional love doesn't have to come from blood.

Since "pixelated graphics" from days past, a consequence of hardware limitations, became "pixel ART" in recent years and as such a totally accepted artistic style even for modern games, I don't see the point in "HD visual" remasters (especially if they are that bland) in old games, that have perfectly fine, smooth pixel art visuals...

@samuelvictor More power to you! I can absolutely relate to how you and your kids feel.

Lot's of "new stuff" from Disney lacks soul.

@WaffleRaptor01 Having to wait for a fixing patch is very commonplace these days, not only on switch but everywhere. That's why I love myself some retro gaming!

@WaffleRaptor01 Actually I'd really have loved this. Prerendered 2D Sprites, kinda like Killer Instinct back in the day, fixed camera perspective, maybe a little dramatic zoom like in samurai showdown!

@smithyo it's what the first comment dude said! I personally don't know the game!

@Arcata Linux is very efficient when it comes to hardware resources, the installs are small, memory use much less than in Windows or even macOS. I love pop for it being really simple to use. You can still, if you so choose, get really into the nitty gritty too. But as a "learner's and everyday's Linux" it's perfect.

Also, I don't know about their own hardware (system76), but their stuff looks great. If you want a real bang for your buck though, try to get a refurbished ThinkPad T480s or X1 Carbon from 2018. I'm getting 8 hours of battery life during normal work out of my T480s and it just cost me 400 bucks in near-mint condition. Love it!

Enjoy your linux adventure!

@5th313ment I prefer good 3 hours for 20 $ over 150 mediocre grindfest hours for 60 $ any day of the week!

What an awfully argumented article. Sorry, it DOES need BC.
