Mine will be getting Virtual Boys whether they dislike it or hate it

@MADLUDWIG11 Aside from Pokémon and the Mario Sports titles

Oh boy, 70s style Robot Anime Geppy-X! How appealing!

@AmplifyMJ I think you replied to the wrong comment

@Yoshi3 You dare disrespect the King of Suave?!

Preposterous. It’ll never happen

I honestly think they shouldn’t have started the thing in general

100/10 it has Donkey Kong Jr. Math

I just bought Mario Party 10 from them. Clearly something’s not adding up

So that’s what her Mega Man cosplay was teasing. Maybe we’ll get a collab between the two franchises?

@Ctrl_Alt_Delete Yeah, Nintendo seems to be the only market where physical games are still a decent portion of their profit, so I hope they take advantage of it (of course that means they’ll raise the prices, but at this point people would just have to suck it up instead of whining. You want full physical options, you’re going to have to pay for them)

800,000 visitors for a Nintendo museum that’s been open for a year and a half doesn’t seem that crazy to me. I know they’re actively trying to prevent it from being a cluster fest, so that’s probably why it’s not like 50 million. Also, allowing us to purchase retro games from the eShop again would be a nice treat (though I’d still probably just stick to Nintendo Classics for the most part)

@GoldenSunRM Nope. They rewrote Zero to fit with X6, and pretty much anything that people pointed out as contradictions (like Zero sealing himself in X6) were cleared with the ol’ “we didn’t specify when that happened”, so all X games after 5 are still considered canon

I’m betting on a remake of the first X game since actually continuing the story would be difficult since 8 had a cliffhanger ending that couldn’t be ignored. I know we got MHX, but that looks like more of an alternative to the original rather than a full remake

@Friendly I think that’s only the case with the Nintendo Switch versions. I’ve seen physical releases for the PS4 versions, even for the ones that didn’t get any on Switch

Nester will have his revenge

@Anti-Matter So you think the Switch 2 is trash because of key-cards yet still cheer for the PS5 even though it’s confirmed that Sony’s dropping physical games entirely in 2028? Makes perfect sense

@8bit-Man At least the quality of games is far better than the film industry as far as I can tell. We’re fine, we just need to stop looking back at the past with rose-tinted glasses

I don’t even care so long as you can still flat out buy games and the quality remains the same

I know it’s been complained about numerous times, but I’m sick of everything getting leaked. A lot of exciting announcements have been significantly deflated because of them lately. Also, the Prime games aren’t mainline? That doesn’t make much sense. Why is stuff like Super Mario 64 considered mainline then?

@Lanmanna Examples?

Does this suck? Yeah. Do I care? Kind of, but not that much. I like physical copies, but at this point I’m starting to go for older consoles like the Wii, while it’s going to be digital for current consoles. Plus, collecting old games has made it a lot easier for me to realize how overblown the physical situation is. Missing instruction manuals? Those have been obsolete for years. The endurance? Dude, I can’t leave my games alone without even a tiny bit of worry that something will happen to them. I’m constantly panicking when waiting for physical games to get shipped (and there are hardly any retro stores near me) because they might be damaged, have scratches, or be fake. And the worst part? I recently learned about disc rot. So no matter what, even if it takes years, all of my disc-based games will likely be unusable at some point. Hopefully well after I’m gone, but that still sucks. The value of ownership? I feel the exact same way with my digital games because I don’t do shady things with my console that could warrant the license being taken. I buy a game, I use the game. Just like how it was with physical, except I can’t sell it, which is something I don’t desire to do. Ultimately, no matter what, there’s going to be roadblocks with this kind of stuff

They survived the PS3 days, I’m sure they’ll figure a way to make things work out anyway

@Yydeckard Because you can still get 8DX for $60. They’re their own biggest competitor

@Nao120 Might be a problem with your switch? I haven’t had an issue like that

“Mario Kart World adds more knockout tours”

They know how to pull me back in

@Bizzyb They can stop producing the game

Oof. Already have it downloaded, but that still sucks. Licensing issues, I presume

@UpsideDownRowlet I think it also factors in how quick you were

9/12. Got the Elden Ring, Fire Emblem, and Zelda questions wrong

Don’t have a single problem with the screen. Only when they release an OLED version will I actively look for excuses to upgrade

For a moment, I thought they added the original versions and was so pumped. I’ll still take this, though

@xmkbest $50 is cheap for a first party game, and it definitely had a lot of effort put into it. And not every game needs to be 30+ hours long. You’re meant to go back to find new routes or improve your skills. The value ultimately lies within how it never gets old

Bought a Walmart-brand 512GB card because I didn’t have enough space to download FFVIIRemake. Luckily, that’s the only big game I have right now (and care to purchase at the moment), so it’s doing the job for me.

Got Rayman wrong. The only one that mattered 😑

@Yosti Lol can’t blame you for assuming but no, I’ve only really played Sonic Generations

@Anti-Matter Good for you. I sold my 3DS long ago, so this would be great for me

@ParrakerriRush Better prepare for a high price tag, if that’s the case. No sense wanting a second screen and then complaining about the price if it happens (though it’d be nice if they gave us the option to use the Switch 1 as a second screen)

@FrylockJ So one of the biggest and greatest games of all time that’s still being sold first hand should frequently be sold for $10? Ok

No Mario Wonder or Tennis Fever. Guess I might pick up Sonic Mania instead. Also really odd to see BOTW get a discount

Edit: I see Sonic Origins is also on sale for around the same price as Mania. Is that worth it instead of Mania?

@MS7000 You ever hear of exaggeration used to make a point? Prior to this, the big complaint was that it was yet another remake. The voice acting was hardly ever brought up

Nobody freaking complained about the voices earlier. Random thing to whine about of the day, I guess

@Dimjimmer Everybody thought it was going to be $100 USD, so to them $70-$80 seems like a discount

Do Xbox and PlayStation have counterparts to GKCs, though?

Biggest disappointment is that it appears they got rid of the local multiplayer VS mode

Why do some games have 64 (Doom 64 and Quake 64) in the end while others do not (Mega Man 64 and Dr Mario 64)?

@metaphysician They’re still RPGs, though. Extremely lengthy campaigns, complex mechanics, and unexciting for those who want something to just jump into and don’t need to be all that invested in.

The direct thing has become so stupid and overblown. Yes, the negativity reached drastic heights, but it sure felt like the positive side was consistently behaving in a very stuck up and patronizing manner and seemed completely ignorant as to why we were unhappy, quickly chalking it up to “they’re just selfish and unwilling to try new things”. There was not a lot of variety in it. There might have been something for everyone, but acting like there was so much variety in it seems crazy to me. Kingdom Hearts 4. Fire Emblem. Final Fantasy. Woo-hoo. Three JRPGs that look the same as any other JRPGs we’ve gotten in the past decade. Don’t care? You’re in a dark spot. You’re whining about the lack of a 3D Mario? Go play that one game that looks completely different and just learn to be happy. So much biased behavior and back-and-forth arguments that it’s become extremely annoying to talk about it.

Mario & Sonic Tokyo 2020 - this is terrible

Sonic Colors Ultimate - oh boy, glowing Sonic

Sonic Origins Plus - I like it, just not my favorite

Sonic Mania Plus - the weird background turns me off

Sonic Racing Crossworlds - looks good

Team Sonic Racing - eh

Sonic Forces - is it ironic that I completely forgot about this? Box art honestly looks sick

Sonic Superstars - honestly might be my favorite, stands out, conveys the multiplayer aspect, and uses the classic style without using the older art style like Mania and Origins

Sonic X Shadow Generations - the same thing as the original HD version box art except Shadow’s in the center, which would be fine if it weren’t for the fact his campaign is drastically inferior

Sonic Frontiers - good, but looks like any other Sonic game to me

So it appears that Spocco Square was a location in Wuhu Island this whole time. So we never even left
