@OldManHermit I was gonna ask the same thing, too. The game was adorable as well with the emotions expressed on Pac-Man.

Man, and I used to throw away my boxes growing up to save space…

@ECHIDNA

A patch to add this song back into the game could always make this dream of yours and mine come true…

@Zag_Man Yes, it has fantastic ending theme music too. Melancholy, but very 80s.

I thought “what if nobody comments because nobody is using the Switch app for voice chat and leaves this article completely devoid of comments?”

Then I blew it and thought that there may be someone who does.

Metroid as a move and television series would be fantastic.

Weird thought: Peter Chung directing it, as in the same one who created Aeon Flux.

“Switch has no games.

“Switch only has kiddie games because it’s Nintendo.”

“Nothing but first party games.”

“Just ports and shovelware.”

Happy that companies are taking the ol' Nintendo approach of delaying to fine-tune something to top quality, instead of rushing it out the door like CDPR did with Cyberpunk 2077...

I feel guilty for being ready to buy the game because it's still giving money to Nicalis...

It’ll be hard to top this with a sequel that doesn’t have everyone returning.

@RupeeClock yes, and likewise, people get inspired to create their own stories eventually after writing fanfic for fun...though sadly the most recent example is still 50 Shades, ugh.

@madmaxjp He could also learn to actually educate himself about China instead of assuming and complaining about people not being informed about Palestine just because they don't vocalize it (especially since it's not on topic, but China is)...

@Judgedean Yup. Pokester99 is just being annoying and calling people hypocrites for not publicly stating that they share his values or pet causes...but we don't always have to mention every cause that is important to us, as this topic is about China, not his cause, Palestine (which I do actually follow since I do have work related to human rights and development).

"You don't support my cause vocally or 24/7! So your cause is hypocritical! UR stoopid!" This kind of attitude he's espousing won't win him any supporters or sympathy for him and his causes.... and it's made worse because he refuses to educate himself about the cause people are talking about here, which is China, while assuming they're ignorant about his cause with Palestine.

Cognitive dissonance.

@Curator some of us discover things that we should know that we don’t. Example: moved to a new place and my ex realized the humidity was bad for her Switch Lite which I already expected after living in more humid places previously.

@Judgedean There are indeed extremely naive and proudly ignorant people who are aggressive about it even when facts are shown. Flat Earthers come to mind—particularly the ones who think Australia doesn’t exist.

@Pokester99 Never said you were Chinese. You love misquoting people, which tells us that you are just wu mao (50 cent army) or gullible and proudly maliciously ignorant.

QED

@Pokester99 Grass mud horse to you too, dude. Anyone who speaks Chinese will know what that means.

For everyone else still following this ridiculous 50 cent army propaganda, I recommend informing yourselves by watching these channels on YouTube: Serpentza, Laowhy86, and China Uncensored, while also following Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and also read https://bitterwinter.org/

@Pokester99 Now you're just using the whataboutism fallacy--also a state propaganda tool to discredit any criticisms levied, especially used by the CCP, taking a page from the Soviet Union. Governments aren't the only one pointing out the issues with China--it's numerous independent organizations and bodies. But it's apparent that you're not actually interested or informed--like some of us who actually lived in China or speak the language and even have direct work with the socio-political issues that everyone here is rightly cautious about.

@Pokester99 Not as much others love your reductionism and particularism fallacies.

@Pokester99

That argument is the false equivalence fallacy. It fails because there’s a huge gap between the genocide in Xinjiang and incompetence in Germany.

@Joeynator3000

“Your money isn’t enough for us to do this.”

I wonder how many people will reach the 9999 hours limit on the Switch with this update.

@The_Pixel_King Yeah dude. I even posted a thread asking for help a few months ago and Nintendo said just to send it in for replacement... which I cannot because I’m not in America now and can’t return home due to travel restrictions and bans.

I was playing Disgaea 5, a week before 6 came out. Put it in sleep mode. Turned on my Switch, saw update data has been downloaded, then turned off the game and reset... now an entire screen of dead pixels like looking through prison bars...

I turned my switch to sleep mode and turned it back on to discover screen burn for some reason. It’s unplayable in portable mode because of that and so I haven’t used mine in months. Not in a rush to get a new OLED, cash too tight now.

@WoomyNNYes It’s only six in the morning where I live and your comment on reverse psychology is already making me laugh aloud, more than enough to wake up without coffee.

The music is charming enough to make me not just overlook how it’s a flappy clone, but look forward to it...

@anoyonmus Totally. I have no love for Disney, and sadly, this partnership makes me lose a lot of love for Nintendo given the situation not just with IP and screwing over people like Scarlet Johansen, it’s also the genocide in Xinjiang.

I would have preferred any other character to disappoint me for not getting Crash Bandicoot instead of Sora because I loathe Disney that much.

I still am a bit disappointed we didn’t get Crash... but alas, time to get fighter pass 2.

I was one of the people hoping for Crash Bandicoot, though Sora makes sense with going to different worlds...then again, Crash 4 would allow this to happen too. Alas, this ship has sailed.

@Noid This comment is better than the review itself!

@HeHateMii Thank you for being sensible in a sea of pettiness and unnecessarily malicious nationalism over dialects.

@KiraMoonvalley I’d rather do a 1985-1998 loop.

@CharlieGirl I think the nature of Switch being a portable console too means that it can exist alongside a successor console just like DS and 3DS did for multiple console generations. 😃 but we’ll probably have updates like DS Lite or New 3DS.

And Jeannie Tirado! Lucia in Street Fighter V and Piyori in Disgaea 6! Great cast!

@moodycat

Laura Post! She was Primrose in Octopath Traveler! Erica Lindbeck was Jessie in the new FF7 Remake! Nice!

@ManInTheChair

He has this: https://www.netflix.com/title/80225421

I’d love a Wario and Waluigi expansion, too.

@Daniel36 I had the boxed set that was supposed to have a limited edition Deedlit Phone Card. Wasn't there, but I loved it anyway. Was also happy to learn the creators liked the OVA dub and approved of it, not just for Lisa Ortiz.

Man, I remember having the DVD boxed set of the OVA series before the TV series came out. I wonder if this takes place before she meets Parn and the rest of the party, or if they will cameo.

@ZebZed I don't know if DP was "largely ignored" really...Whether it's the Pokémon IP itself or Ryan Reynolds, both are enough to draw attention, and you can find articles from a couple years ago with strong reactions to him being announced as the voice of DP.

Everyone is griping about the casting choices...and not one mention of Ryan Reynolds in Detective Pikachu?

Am I the only one who saw the artstyle and initially mistook it for Hollow Knight before reading the headline and article?

Now that they've added SNES Aladdin and Jungle Book, this whole collection would be the first time owning these games...because I played just about all of the console games only as rentals from Blockbuster! And they were rented multiple times...

@CharlieGirl Totally! Or how catering to a specific niche is a thing too!

@CharlieGirl This is why it's sad when Iwata died...he was a gamer before he was a businessman or a programmer. Still a bit disconnected at times when he said "Customers do not want online games." Though it could also have been a mistranslation..

@CharlieGirl Seems more like it's just Konami's management is getting more and more disconnected from what gamers are asking for, and ignoring them.

Can't blame them--the older generation that grew up during the economic boom still think they know better than the current generation who actually play the games these guys sell.

Stone Protectors?! Now the cartoon theme song is stuck in my head from when it invaded Saturday morning. Didn’t manage to invade my house with a weekend video game rental though, but man, this is out of nowhere.

@PessitheMystic Friends and roommates, whom I also remind them about how they said "The Switch has no games" or that "Nintendo just makes games for kids"!

Oh how I miss arcades... and how being in them was loud and crowded, and more exciting than console games. Now the arcade is the Switch for me, because people are always crowding around asking to play. Would love to add Sol Cresta and previous games to my Switch.

I always thought he was named after Mad Dog McCree, the old FMV game
