Good call on ditching IGN. Since 2019 I’ve only gone back to the site to get a good eye roll every now and then.

Signed up to receive updates once the Pokémon Center preorders are back in stock. I got the Arceus plush last time and I love it.

I’m really glad Digital Foundry is here to tell us the Switch 2 and Steam Deck are different devices with different audiences! Gosh darn, what would we do without them?

Anyways maybe with the Pokémon presents on Tuesday we can get some real articles………………

Too little, too late Nintendo!!

I saw Digital Foundry’s godly tech analysis that shows this game occasionally runs at 30 frames per second…………………………………………….

My family and I will be going NOWHERE NEAR this hedonistic filth. No. Thank. You.

Wow!!! There’s a part of this game that runs at 30 frames per second?!?

Well, that’s really informed my purchase decision. No thank you 😔✋

Thank god! How the hell would we enjoy anything without Digital Foundry telling us if we’re allowed to?

Same thing as the past month or so:

Tears of the Kingdom, Switch 2 edition
World of Warcraft Classic
Mario Kart World if my wife wants to

Baldur’s Gate 3 is finally available again physically so I got that ordered Thursday. It should arrive Monday.

Get Trump to sign a Gumshoos cards and we’ll really be talking.

My wife and I play Knockout Tour for a few hours together every weekend. I’ve also gone through every Grand Prix trying to get 3 ⭐️ Gold. Probably a little over 20 hours on it. I feel it’s a solid 9.

Oh hell you guys just stick to re-posting Digital Foundry videos.

Putting No Man’s Sky in front of Mario Kart World, Delta Rune, and Split Fiction? Good grief

A little bit tired of seeing articles about these guys videos on this site being posted like they’re scripture. Might be time to just give it a rest with DF

Elden Ring
Metroid
Pokémon Legends Z-A
Hades II
Borderlands 4
Donkey Kong

It’s the year of the Switch 2 and I’m 💯% all for it

The Switch 2 mouse controls would be interesting for FFXIV. I’ve always preferred controller over M&KB, but the mix of both could really be something.

Mario Kart World + Tears of the Kingdom upgrade was enough launch content for me 🤷‍♀️

Add in the GameCube and N64 virtual console titles and everything else just seems unnecessary to buy.

We love Goosebumps!
This looks awful!

Unrelated to Mario Kart but I was wondering if you guys saw the news Borderlands 4 was confirmed to cost $70?

A solid 9. Great launch title. Better than anything the PS5 or XSX launched with, and that’s coming from someone who loved Demon Souls Remake.

Anyone else remember Modern Warfare on the DS? What a time

Bought this game at launch with the 3DS. Also bought MGS3 and a Resident Evil game. 3DS was awesome, truly wish we got a successor.

Sounds about right. All I played today was MKW and TotK Switch 2 edition 😅

IGN currently has two articles on their homepage previewing the game. One is much harsher than the other. Combine them and you get a solid 7-8/10 vibe.

Honestly this sounds like a few isolated incidents tied to credit card issues and not a widespread problem. Regardless it’s why I preordered in-person rather than deal with the online preorder shenanigans.

Having watched a long play of the original I’m not surprised it was censored.

Love the game. I’ve bought it 5 times and given it to friends twice so they could play it too. Would love to get a Switch 2 version.

The Xbox One X version ran really well from what I remember. It’d be awesome if they could match that

I still have my Arceus plush from the Legends: Arceus pre order sitting on the shelf by my Switch. He’s a good boii

Can you imagine you buy a blu ray for a new movie, put it in your player, and it tells you to start downloading the movie? Then it says to type in a code to access some special features.

No? Me neither.

I wonder if I could trick Target into selling me one early again

Didn’t realize DooM: The Dark Ages was a “key disc” for PS5 until we were installing it yesterday.

Glad it was a gift, can’t say I’d have bought it knowing that.

Ever heard of Daggerfall?

Don’t worry, if he’s a real CEO, he’ll figure it out 😉

After I saw this was announced I looked into the first one. Look like great games. Might get them after some quality time with the Switch 2 launch lineup

Just realized the last Sega game I owned was Sonic Heroes on the GameCube

Hope it runs well on the Switch 2. Otherwise that $80 price tag will look like a joke.

With Oblivion and DooM out it just makes sense to give Nintendo a break for the next three weeks.

I had been playing Legends Arceus quite a bit back in April.

Toothless strikes again! I kid, I kid.

But seriously, DF did great work some years ago and were definitely one of my favorite channels.

Seem a bit self indulgent now though. 105 minute video to roundtable a handful of topics?

I’ll be connecting mine to my monitor which has a Pokémon Playmat set up in front of it that I used to use for my M&KB. Should be the perfect set up for this.

Bought the bundle to save the $30 but this is awesome for sure

Got the Mario Kart bundle for $50 more than the console itself 🤷‍♂️ I can play Mario Kart with my brother and wife, and play online day 1.

This is comparing apples to oranges at it’s worst

He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.

@DarkTron

Literally beat me by 23 seconds lol. Weird hype build up to the Switch 2 launch (which I have pre-ordered anyways) when half the articles are “why isn’t this game announced for Switch 2 yet?”

So confirmed fall of 2026.

Will probably just wait for the heavily-rumored XSX2 launch at the end of 2026 to get it.

“ The alternative seems to be just walking away from playing modern video games”

No that’s a false dichotomy, and exactly what these companies want you to think you have to do.

Well... a lowly Tarnished playing as a lord. I command thee
