Ok, sure, it’s a PC and not a console…but I just don’t see how you can brush past the price with this yet completely dismiss the switch 2 solely due to its price (which isn’t even that bad).
@OmnitronVariant I think you’re comparing the wrong games. For the most part, first party Switch 1 games look and run great (although the later games definitely struggle in the frame rate department due to cramming in too much). It’s the multiplatform games where the difference is extremely noticeable.
Really? I thought it’d be the other way around; I only ever really buy games when they either get discounts, if I know I want them, or if I got a new console.
@PokemonDMG Can we please not constantly throw shade at every franchise (even though I totally agree with you)? It’s fine for people to prefer something over something else; we don’t need to label ours as the truth.
Incredible work! So glad to see people being creative and dedicated to their hobbies these days rather than using AI for everything (not that AI is bad or anything, it’s just been far too abused for its power lately)
I’m just going to wish both fellow humans good luck in the next steps of their lives. Can we all go without mentioning anything about corporate greed and politics and that kind of crap for 5 minutes?
@OFFICIALMichi that’s still a few days before the comment I was replying to was posted. It does publicly launch today, though, so we’ll see how it holds up
@FishLipFace I definitely felt the same way. I was (and still am) hoping for more depth in Mario’s character, but I guess not having much character is kind of his thing. Doesn’t mean I don’t want to see him grow more
@Kamen-S Given that 1) this is a sequel and 2) it’s based off the galaxy games, I don’t see why it won’t have more depth to it. At least, that’s what I’m hoping to be the case
@Anti-Matter that’s just how anniversary celebrations roll. They can’t have ‘em forever or else they’re gonna have problems for future celebrations (like Zelda, which is next year)
Let’s see…you need an expansion pack for NSO, which is $50. Then you need to buy an accessory in order to even use it. And you have to shove your head into the thing in order to play the games, which are only displayed in red and black and appear in stereoscopic 3d, which means you’ll almost definitely get headaches after playing this for 30 minutes…I’ll pass. Also it’s the virtual boy. And while I do agree that having to buy an accessory in order to even access the vb library is borderline outrageous, I will admit that that’s probably the best way to experience these games, since without it they seem pretty boring. Still stupid that you need a subscription with an expansion pack, though.
From what I can tell, this looks to have more worth than BOTW’s dlc, which was one of the few instances I regret a purchase (though that may have been influenced by the fact that I literally just beat the base game but still had to wait for pay day to get TOTK)
Nothing but good memories (except the times when I’d die, which happened most of the time). Here’s to many more years of platforming perfection with our mustachioed maestro!
Why share this to the public if it’s obviously something they’re not gonna stomach? Yes, they’re great from a business perspective, but not from a consumer perspective
I don’t know about day 1, but definitely as soon as possible. I think $70 is completely fair for these two. I loved the first game and am itching to play the second for the first time

Re: Random: This Upcoming PS5 'Cozy Life Sim' Certainly Rings A Bell
@PlatinumSeraph There’s a huge difference between “copying” and “ripping off”. This is most definitely the latter.

No, because I’m not buying it.

Disney. It’s over. Kirby’s coming (right back at ya, no less). The Pikmen are preparing for a takeover. Run while you still can.

@Toastmaster It was a kids movie and a bunch of fanservice for the nerds. As a movie, yeah it kind of sucked. As a time-killer, it’s perfect

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Checking Out Switch Online's Virtual Boy Service?
This would have been fantastic as a mini console. Really bummed that it isn’t that.
