Oh man, the ability to change the map while in the lobby is HUGE.

For me, it was the announcement and release of Metroid Dread. A monumental event if you ask me.

Adding new moves to Volleyball is extremely strange, but welcome. It was one of the most boring sports, so I'm glad it's being improved.

@Alpha008 No I’m with you. There’s just not much of a reason to play solo. Fortunately I have some friends to play with which makes it a lot more fun, but yeah, I agree

I love these detailed patch notes! Definitely fixed some issues I’ve been facing.

Wait what am I talking about? Shy Guy is the only thing that matters in my life. His lose animation is SO GOOD, I love how he just stares into the camera

It's not running at 10 fps, literally unplayable

I mean, the video posted is pretty telling. He's moving up. Although it could've been conveyed better.

Something tells me that this may violate some law regarding driver safety

Swap out Double Dash with Wii and I think this list would be perfect

Ahh, the fabled lore bible

@Zorox88 It’s not just the Switch experiencing these issues; it’s buggy on PC as well. It’s the developers’ or publishers’ fault for launching the game before it was finished, not Nintendo’s.

Yeah like many others, I’m waiting for some updates to make the experience better.

I was thinking about this earlier and found it kind of funny: Mario Golf Super Rush has a good amount of content but terrible core gameplay, and Strikers has really good core gameplay and a terribly small amount of content. Weird how it’s practically reversed.

Yet another game that was unfinished on release and will get fixed later… getting pretty tired of this.

They really couldn’t have done a Direct??

I think MK8D is objectively the “best” one, but MKWii is still my favorite

@cmdrmarc Well I don’t think they’ve ever done that in the past, they tend to keep their reviews separate

@cmdrmarc Well it’s a lower score due to performance issues. And also it’s a different reviewer so they likely have different opinions.

Titanfall 3??? Please!

The Japan art actually looks a lot like the MKWii cover art, so I voted for that one. Both are pretty great, though.

I really wish that 8 would get character updates along with the new tracks. That would really just be icing on the already-iced cake of DLC

It should be noted that every version of the game has distracting and long load times, even on super fast PCs. It’s just a limitation of the engine at the time. A shame that it was never improved on subsequent releases, though.

hmm, well if they're aware of how bad E3 has been the past couple of years, then perhaps something good will come out of it next year. We'll just have to wait and see, I suppose.

Oh wow, that is really terrible. My condolences to his family.

Those Joycons look STELLAR, but I'm gonna go for the Procon instead. I've been needing to get a second controller anyway so this timing is perfect for me.

Perhaps that’s why they stocked up on so many supplies recently?

I’m glad the port is being done by a company that’s proven themselves in the past.

I cannot wait for more people to experience this game soon

I have lots of respect for BOTW speedrunners. It’s practically 100% glitches and amazing movement.

@PessitheMystic Fancy words for “This is a scam”

What is wrong with these people? Stuff like this just upsets me

I really enjoy the "chaos" setting for this game. The maps are leaning into it heavily

Hmm, neither of these are all that great. I think the NA one is just a bit better, though

Lewis is a shady fellow, but I still like him

I hope it’s a hit with the people who haven’t played it! It is the second best game I’ve ever played and I have completed it 4 times

bruh I hate these corporate companies getting into "jokes" and memes when they have no idea what they're doing. Especially when it's EA.

My favorite overall game I played this year is Majora’s Mask, with FTL following really close behind. Both games are absolute masterpieces that I think everyone should play.

For a 2022 game specifically, it’s probably Kirby and the Forgotten Land. I really haven’t played many new games this year, so it’s pretty much between Kirby, Strikers, and Switch Sports. Kirby is definitely the winner out of the three; it’s a solid title. The other two have been unfortunately underwhelming.

It was a great show overall. Nothing much that I was interested in, but the amount of stuff shown was really impressive.

AYO Yoko Shimomura?? Day 1 purchase for me now

This gives me so much hope for a World 2 remake! One of my favorite 3D platformers of all time. I have so, so much nostalgia for it and would love to replay it again

Huh... that's surprisingly not an outrageous price. I would have expected something like this to run around at least $150

Oh wow... that stuff with the humans would have been super creepy to discover in the game.

Super cool leak, though! It's nice to finally get some actual new news about one of my favorite games of all time.

The Switch version definitely looks on par for the system. A little blurry and muddy but still looks great overall; P5's art style absolutely lends itself to that.

So happy that this is getting remade! I hope World 2 gets the same treatment; that game is awesome

Am I the only one that doesn't get the "Move around freely" mechanic? To me, it just looks like the grid-based system but you have slightly more control over your character.

I am really looking forward to this event! I have some high hopes.

Outta my way, Mario Kart 9

I wasn’t able to do this month’s backlog, but I will absolutely participate in next month’s Hollow Knight!

Splatoon music cannot miss. It’s scientifically proven

@twztid13 Oh these are just digital? Never mind, then

Sweet! I may finally pick up Paper Mario and Link's Awakening

As much as I want to love Strikers, I am glad that its sales are dropping.

This drip-feed approach is clearly not working for them and it needs to change.
