I went with Gen 1. No offense to any of the covers, as they do genuinely all look good (and I always love when series find a motif and stick with it), of all of the "I downloaded a .png off the wiki and slapped it against a background" looking covers, at least Gen 1 says "I took the time to draw a Pokémon, cut it out, then slapped it against a background!"
I mean, compared to its NES contemporaries, sure, I suppose you could say Darkwing Duck is "lacking", but it's FAR from the worst Mega Man game. And yes, I've always considered it to be a Mega Man game, he just happens to look like a crime fighting duck for some reason. And he has a gas gun. And Dr. Wily turned into a mob boss rooster due to a horrible accident (hence the steel beak.)
The best part of that commercial is definitely the girl who knows this Yoshi commercial is her big break and puts absolutely all of her soul into exclaiming, "NO WAAAAY!!!!"
At first I was like, "Um, well, that's nice, but why!?" Then I was like, "ALL the games, and two unreleased ones!?" Then I had an extra $100 to spend, and now the 17th can't come fast enough!!
If this "new scenario" really is as long as the original game, and is substantially different enough, then this goes from being a remaster to being an entirely new game, which I honestly never expected to see again from Danganronpa. Heart pounding excitement, puhuhuhu!
I remember reading about this company's Star Wars cabinet and thinking "How can this thing possibly be worth $7K?" But then I actually saw one and Costco and played it a little and, welp, nope, still don't know how it's worth $7K, but it sure was neat. I assume this will be equally as neat. And equally not worth $7K.
I think this is not the solution to the potential issue, but I spotted a potential issue the moment they were talking about making a Mii of "someone you really admire". There's going to be a lot of people on this making their crushes do things the crush doesn't consent to, which could lead to awkward and possibly traumatic confrontations on social media. I know, I know, there's nothing stopping anyone from doing something similar in games like The Sims, but other life sims don't have the backing of Nintendo, either. Turning off easy image sharing probably isn't the way to go, but it is a sign they can point to if any pitchforks come out to say "See? We tried!"

I entered some sort of fugue state at the beginning of December, thought "Yeah, sure, I've got the money to do this", and bought my 7 year old daughter her own Switch 2 for Christmas. Even though we already owned Animal Crossing, the ONLY thing on her Christmas list this year was the 3.0 update. Regardless of how many times we told her that wasn't really something that Santa could deliver, that was the end-all gift, so I decided she might like her own copy of the game to start her own island separate from mine. And, hey, if said island is on the Switch 2 edition (and if our original Switch 2 suddenly becomes all mine 🤫), then that's all the better!
Not only has playing Animal Crossing together over the past month brought us closer, she's learning patience, she's expressing creativity in ways I haven't seen before, and she's doing it all at her own pace in her own weird, unique way. Sure, she has a pile of fossils just sitting outside her museum, and half the island hasn't been weeded, but have you seen how awesome her house looks!? Not to mention she's WAY further in Happy Home Paradise than I ever had the patience for.
And it's not just us playing together, either. My dad and his spouse never stopped playing for even a day since 2020, and all of a sudden we've both been let in to this part of their life that we haven't seen before, flying back and forth to each other's islands almost nightly and, honestly, spending more time with them than I have since my daughter was born. I'm not going to say Animal Crossing is necessarily life changing, but it's been fun to find something that really clicks with my whole family.
She really needs to either sell or donate those fossils, though...
I mean, yeah, the Switch 2 upgrades are nothing to write home about, especially when stacked against the free 3.0 update, but also...eh, I've spent $5 on worse. I'm not going to lose sleep over it, and my personal interior justification is that it's more like leaving a tip for the developers as thanks for the crafting upgrades.
This coming from someone whose desk at work has a LEGO Deku Tree that sits next to a LEGO NES, which is on top of a LEGO Atari, which is touching the side of a LEGO Gameboy, which is being held up by a LEGO Gizmo.
My spouse and I used to watch Hulu on the Switch when we stayed in hotels without a smart TV. Plenty of good(?) memories of trying to get comfortable on a strange mattress while attempting to balance the Switch on a pillow, a process made nearly impossible thanks to the OG's stand. We haven't used it in years, but it's still bittersweet to see it get the axe. Say what you will about the Switch "not needing it", but considering it obviously has the capability to do so it's WILD to me that one of the most popular tablets in the world doesn't have more streaming apps, let alone a web browser.
As a USA gal, our cover will always be iconic. But beyond just looking better overall, I actually took a trip to Denmark in 2007 and bought a copy of this for the Wii while I was over there, so that cover will always be a bit special to me! And yes, the Wii version IS hands down the best version.
Watch the big drop from the Zelda 40th anniversary celebration be Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon + Link: The Faces of Evil HD Deluxe Nintendo Switch 2 Edition.
I think what bothers me the most about this is that they scrambled so quick to find the big red emergency "Hide the Cleavage" button that they couldn't even be bothered to redraw the star on the middle girl's swimsuit. "Nope, just paint over the whole thing, we can't let the children see God's dirty mistake!"
"But sir, won't they see even MORE exposed breasts if their parents take them to a water park over the summer!?"
Playing 0 Director's Cut earlier this year finally cracked this series open for me after years of trying! I just finished Kiwami 2 and moved onto LAD: Ishin to pass the time (it's on sale on NA PSN for $12 right now). I'm waiting until this comes out to continue Kiryu's story, it's wild to me that after all these years I'll actually, excitedly be playing a Yakuza/LAD release at launch!
It's a LUDICROUSLY good time to be a Mega Man fan! Dual Overide (aka Mega Man 12) was announced, this got a release date, my hand drawn guide to Mega Man 1 is on the way, AND after 16ish years The Protomen put out Act 3! This is all in the span of a month! I don't know whether to be elated at the bounty or terrified that the series will inevitably go back into hibernation after all of this is said and done.
As one of the uncultured rabble that hopped onto the series with Resident Evil 4, and who has never played Code Veronica, I've always associated the franchise with green herbs, upgradable guns, ridiculous tentacle monsters, and over the top nonsense rather than any overarching villain or...you know, any plot to speak of. From where I'm standing Wesker wasn't even around all that long. Heck, he himself told me he only had seven minutes to play with me!
From what I can see, both the Switch 1 and Switch 2 versions are giving you entirely different feels based on what you're looking for. Without question, the S2 version looks better. Better lighting, skybox, framerate (at least to my eyes)...across the board a more "real" looking experience.
But then I have to ask myself, is "real" what we really want from RDR1? There's something to be said for the fact that it doesn't quite look like the real wild west, which in turn makes it feel like you're playing an old Western movie. The choppier framerate, the flatter lighting, the sky box that looks like a matte painting hung behind the production, it all comes together to form a different feel that's not 100% better or worse than the S2 improvements.
So the question you have to ask yourself when picking a version is: do you want to be a cowboy, or do you want to be a movie star?
If someone doesn't say, "This battle bus is 100% death proof!" or "Save the World's dead, baby. Save the World's dead." Then I'll be......just as uninterested in watching this as I am now!
Excerpt from an interview with the developers: "Actually, and I don't know if this is out there yet or not, one of the most interesting quirks with the dev kit for porting games to the Switch 2 is that in order to implement mouse controls you first have to explain the plot of the Kingdom Hearts series to the gameplay. And on some games, you know, the gameplay just gets it! No confusion at all! But Requiem...was not one of those games! (laughs) We actually lost it when we got to Coded, we think explaining Dream Drop Distance may have crashed the code altogether! So we got lucky in that respect!"
Also, thanks for the article! You don't see pieces like this as much any more, and while I personally don't think I'll give Mega Starmie another thought after I close this tab, this story put a smile on my face on a hard morning. And the fact that a sexy starfish can give hope and meaning to other queer people like me is a common delight! Keep doing what you do!
The image of a Mega Starmie singing God Help the Outcasts has unfortunately led to the image of a trainer in a black cloak throwing a pokeball at her while singing "Be mine or you will buuuuuurn!!"
I don't know how I feel about this yet, but not all of the adjectives are negative!
At the end of the day it's a list that can't hurt me, and nearly everything I would want to be on it is on it. But if I had to give it a letter grade for its ranking?
It feels like a fake song that would be in a cutaway joke in a TV show. (Man leans in to hit on a woman at a bar) "I, uh, used to be in a band you know." (Shows a clip of "What's that?") "Yeah...we weren't the best, but..."
@The_Nintendo_Pedant I dunno, they probably could have gotten away with "LEGO". After all, it wasn't called "The Barbie Movie", or "The Trolls Movie". Granted, "LEGO" would have been a terrible name, but something like "LegoLand" or "LEGO: Everything is Awesome" (but then that's just "Title colon Subtitle", which also isn't great...)
It's not bad, but much like the rest of Illumination's designs it just FEELS off. Like, if you hadn't pointed it out I may not have even noticed it was different, but upon closer examination...like, yeah, the eyes are big, but it's not even that it's...I don't know, really. It's like it's Yoshi's doppelganger, close enough to fool you into thinking it's the real thing, but really it's a monster waiting for its opportunity.
Or it's a CGI dinosaur in a kids' movie, one of the two.
I think I get what they were going for with the Japanese cover. After all, it's not just YOUR world out there, is it? Anyone else with a copy of the game has their own world, and you'll be able to visit those other worlds so long as you're Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection is strong enough (Wi-Fi donkey sold separately).
My daughter's tastes keep fluctuating back and forth between Bluey/Gabby/Paw Patrol and more mature things, and I'm thinking by the time this comes out we'll be firmly in "Bluey is for babies" territory. But man, "Dragon" is her absolute favorite episode, I hope she's still into it so she can play this when it comes out!
I wasn't sure if I should go with the terrible one or the terrible one, but I ended up choosing the terrible one.
And yes, I remember this game all too well...as a child of the 90's I had quite a strong stomach for finicky jank in my games, but even at the time this one's obtuse nature, clunky interface, and general unresponsiveness was a bridge too far. It was like a toy you get by trading in your tickets at an arcade: no, it doesn't work, yes, it breaks easily, and WOW, you spent WAY more money acquiring it than you should have.
I got a cool Pikachu themed N64 out of the deal, though. Thank you, Toys R Us clearance bin!
I very much so enjoyed the article, and it makes me want to dig out my own Mario and try to clean the pet hair out of his wheels to get him working again. But I'm now left with the haunting knowledge that you will be using your children to wipe for the next few months...so thanks for that...
Got mine a couple days ago, and have time set aside tomorrow to get it slapped together. It's coming to work with me to sit right next to my Lego NES and Atari sets!
I vastly prefer third person, and I intend to try it that way, but some games that are designed for first person don't translate well to third (looking at you Elder Scrolls and Fallout). Here's hoping they put enough care into both modes to make them equally enjoyable!

And yes, I remember this game all too well...as a child of the 90's I had quite a strong stomach for finicky jank in my games, but even at the time this one's obtuse nature, clunky interface, and general unresponsiveness was a bridge too far. It was like a toy you get by trading in your tickets at an arcade: no, it doesn't work, yes, it breaks easily, and WOW, you spent WAY more money acquiring it than you should have.
I got a cool Pikachu themed N64 out of the deal, though. Thank you, Toys R Us clearance bin!
Re: Feature: "We're Going To Need More Toilet Paper" - This Is Mario Kart-Attack!
I very much so enjoyed the article, and it makes me want to dig out my own Mario and try to clean the pet hair out of his wheels to get him working again. But I'm now left with the haunting knowledge that you will be using your children to wipe for the next few months...so thanks for that...

Re: Gallery: LEGO's New Game Boy Set Is A Mini Masterpiece
Got mine a couple days ago, and have time set aside tomorrow to get it slapped together. It's coming to work with me to sit right next to my Lego NES and Atari sets!
Re: Poll: Will You Play Resident Evil Requiem In First-Person Or Third-Person?
I vastly prefer third person, and I intend to try it that way, but some games that are designed for first person don't translate well to third (looking at you Elder Scrolls and Fallout). Here's hoping they put enough care into both modes to make them equally enjoyable!
