If only they could integrate the screen into the console, now that would be something.

Hopefully Half Life 3 comes out next year. Then we can have the Gabe Awards.

I only recognize a few of these guys from Minecraft YouTube, but its cool that they are the ones on top!

I don’t suppose these are actually new levels? Galaxy themed levels in Mario Run would actually be compelling.

Hot take: Donkey Kong Jr. Math is actually kinda good and deserves better than last place. The VS mode is interesting and it’s pretty fun to race against another person to make a specific number.

Nintendo games are going 4K, and yet they are still take up a fraction of the space compared their competitors. Incredible.

That is not SpongeBob, that is the classic happy emoticon from Steam. (Known as ":steamhappy:", one of the default emoji on Steam's storefront)

Hey look, it’s Gex!

I will be exclusively referring to it as the GabeCube from now on

I played the original Hyrule Warriors on WiiU, I think I've had my fill of the Warriors games.

He’s a little different, but I like the look!

Could’ve at least brought Wolf Link back as a villager while you were at it.

@electrolite77 It’s a small price to pay for more Gooigi. In fact, with the 3D screen, you can get twice the Gooigi per Gooigi using stereoscopy.

@GammaPhonic Perhaps there is more to it than I initially thought. What does mastering a track entail? I was under the impression that, like other web based services, they likely have a database containing each music file and associated data, and they simply stream it the requested file to you.

Dumping the tracks into the service would be trivial, it’s just that they have to pair each with a screenshot, then create relevant categories/playlists to put the songs into, and label them by character association and all that. I understand it takes time, but man do I not care about the categories and whatnot.

Why would anybody settle for the version of the game without Gooigi?

I like Wilds, it's really just the performance that holds it back for me. The game doesn't really look all that much better than World did, and it performs pretty miserably by comparison. Hopefully the performance patches planned for the Winter update make a dent.

Time to play Pikmin 4 again (mouse controls would’ve been nice though)

Strongly recommend the We Were Here games if you have a friend, lots of great asymmetrical puzzles to be had. The first one is free on Steam if you are curious.

More Kirby! Which is just what we needed after more Kirby!

Man, No Man’s Sky got ship interiors before Elite Dangerous.

That character has Outer Wilds vibes.

Looks mostly the same as the original PvZ. I was hoping they would redo all the sprites and animations like PvZ2 did.

@Greatluigi Yep, game over screen used to spook me when I played it years ago.

I think it’s mostly the scream that does it, it’s not your typical stock scream sound effect, but more of a man in agony, presumably from being eaten alive. The squish sounds when you touch the brain on a plate was also nice touch though.

I appreciate them not making us wait separate weeks for the CluClu Land and Gyromite soundtracks.

I’m confused, why are so many people here against repairability? From a financial standpoint, it’s often much cheaper to repair a device yourself than to buy a new one. Didn’t we all learn this when Joycons started drifting?

@Zuljaras I find it hard to believe that the majority of people reselling games are reselling because they didn’t know what they bought. Some people buy games, play through them, and then resell them to finance their next game. I’m not one of those people, but they exist, either because they don’t care about collecting the game and just want the experience it provides, or because money is tight and it’s how they can afford new games.

Regardless, my point still stands. People value the ability to resell their games, as proven by the fact that used game stores exist. Game Key Cards are an improvement over simply having a code in the box because of the flexibility it provides. I agree that cartridges with the full game on them are preferable, but is it really that big a deal? If you don’t like them, don’t buy them. If the sales of game key cards are low enough, they will switch to full game on cart.

@Zuljaras If 1 and 2 were both true, then there would be no such thing as a used game store. The fact that used games stores exist disproves the idea that people dont care about the ability to resell them. I value my ability to resell my physical games, even if I don’t ever plan on doing it.

As soon as they said it was “out now” I went out and bought a copy. I woke up this morning, and it was gone! I guess this explains it.

I usually play Burger Bud Toad or any Yoshi. Been leaning more towards Yoshi recently, with Bowser being used for Time Trials.

I’m only in it for the Monster Hunter news. I wouldn’t mind a Switch 2 port, but tbh I am not not buying this game a second time just to play it on better decent hardware, especially when there is no cross save and I would have to start over.

Is this still locked to 1080p? It would be nice if they added the option for 4k on Switch 2.

World is a 10/10 for me. I went in not expecting an experience anything more than 8 Deluxe, but World blew me away with the rail grinding, free roam, and knockout rallys!

@Lady_rosalina If you are referring to Nintendo’s EULA clause that garnered a bit of an uproar recently, that is referring to software modifications that modify the “Nintendo Account Services” (like by installing custom software not authorized by Nintendo). Nothing in the agreement asserts the right to brick a console if you modify the hardware to restore functionality, so when it comes to opening the console and repairing, the console will only get bricked if you mess something up, which is why it’s important for there to be documentation on how to properly open the device and put it back together.

Teardowns are an important first step towards learning how to repair your devices. Somebody has to do it first without a guide telling you what to expect and what to do to avoid breaking anything, and I salute this guy for volunteering his Switch 2 as a sacrifice. 🫡

@USWITCH64 If the Switch still turns on, then yes, you won the omnipotent marshmallow.

@SpaceboyScreams I was going to say something to this effect. It’s not really “fixed” if the solution is to brute force it with more power a few years after the game launches.

I think it’s impressive it can play it at all, why the hate? It’s a technology in development, you expect it to be good at everything the second you throw it at something it’s never done before?

@AllBLK @RupeeClock From the “Regarding information acquired by this app” link in the calendar settings of the app:
“By linking your device's calendar with Nintendo Today!, you acknowledge that the schedule, date, and associated notes will be displayed in your Nintendo Today! calendar. This data will be used only locally on your device. Nintendo will not access, store, or process any of such information.”

@NinChocolate Don’t they already have CRT filters for the other Switch Online apps? This is just holding back features for the sake of encouraging you to upgrade rather than hardware limitations.

I got all the Stars in Mario Galaxy 2, and you expect me to know anything about the Cosmic Guide feature?

Definitely my favorite game of all time, but man this quiz is pretty tricky.

This may be in the running for one of the worst game covers out there. It’s got:

• Switch 2 Banner (not bad on its own)
• White “Includes” banner
• Black banner showing all the titles included
• Not one, but TWO subtitles
• Red bonus content infographic
• Acclamation laurels
• Game Key-Card banner at the bottom

Might as well throw in “New Funky Mode” in the top right while you’re at it.

Nintendo a few days later: We have a solution everybody! It’s $450 and called the Switch 2!

You say the deck has no mouse control, but it has two trackpads.

I feel like people who blame “corporate greed” for price increases just don’t understand how economics works. A software like a video game has no objectively “correct” price, its value is only what the customers are willing to pay for it. If that value happens to price some people out, but overall will result in more revenue, it is in the company’s best interest to raise the price, and use discounts later down the line to meet customers where they willing to pay.

I would appreciate Godot support.

"Hey Siri, direct me to the nearest stable"
"In 2 miles, turn left, and your destination will be on your right."

I can’t even begin to comprehend how you would make Pokémon into a baseball themed game while keeping the gameplay. It wouldn’t make any sense.

That guy in the blue hoodie kinda looks like Tony Hawk.

Yes please more Steel Diver: Sub Wars, that game has awesome online play and I’ve been dying to play it again!
