It is technology built on theft and rebundled to sell to informed executives and uninformed customers. And I will not spend one cent on games with stolen, recycled works from other artists.

The GenAI scam has only proven to humanity that there is no honor amongst corporations. They can march on without my money.

I'd call it stunning at a minimum. This also feels like redemption for those who remember the announcement that FFVII would go to the PlayStation instead of the N64 and breaking a long cherished bound between Nintendo and Square.

I'm not over looking the fact that the FF series is quite present on the Switch/Switch 2. But the FFVII breakup was based on the tech shock that Nintendo's system couldn't deliver FFVII. The remake was feeling the same way. But here we are now with Intergrade looking spectacular.

This speaks to the pathetic trend in technology to release products with no commitment to the customer except that "It might get fixed later. Give us money now."

Someone at Bethesda approved this with the full intent to inflict a lousy experience on eager players on a popular system. But thanks to twenty layers of management, no-one will be held accountable.

In the same vein, Gameloft using Disney Dreamlight Valley sells a DLC with a broken mission that is vital to unlock a character. This break was reported months ago, but Gameloft's focus was to release another DLC. The recent response is "We are aware of it." Zero customer commitment. Power to the investors.

Americans voted for this.

@Moistnado No, you have to use your hands AND feet this time. Since we are warping back ten years, I blame Obama.

This redemption arc is outshining the DC cinematic universe.

I put more weight into reading my SPAM folder emails than any media or opinions from GameStop.

Power to the investors

The only villian that sticks out to me after 35 years ia the save system of OG Resident Evil.

10/Rick

The demon was stellar. And a learning curve is a positive to me. It's nice to stress my brain cells occasionally.

The game is competent. It's something I sure could never make like any game. So, I appreciate the effort.

But Amiibo Festival was a testament to how little focus and heart Nintendo had for the Wii U. That's what hit me 10 years ago when I tried with all my power to care about this product. No "cozy", "cute", or "chill" vibes will make up for Nintendo's own "meh" attitude to the platform. Star Fox Zero being another kick to the teeth.

Honestly, I'm glad this needs more to time to bake. Like many, I was excited by a physical release for a classic and beloved franchise, but my skepticism of the developers and publisher made me hold off. And here we are.

In a twist, all the coverage made me curious of the GB MK. After playing on a GB, I find them adorable. They are like more advanced Tiger handheld games. It's charming how much detail was squeezed down for the Game Boy..

"Extensive interactive documentary is a joy to explore"

Excellent.

You know what? Good for Bubsy.

I wish I had this level of popularity for achieving so little compared to my counterparts.

I'd say there is a lock because all the buttons appear to have the same height. And having a significant height difference between the top and botton function buttons is one of the improvements I enjoy over the original Pro controller.

As for the waking up, using what little middle tier knowledge I know, the controller needs to talk to the OS probably via an API. And I bet Nintendo won't share that access to keep the feature as an exclusive to official controllers, or maybe you have to pay some extra gold coin for that access.

A lovely eShop sale has me busy with multiple City Connection arcade and S-Tribute games on the Switch 2. I'm also back on the SNES and diving into dozens of SA-1 hacks and translations that I recently updated in my library. Bahamut Lagoon is my current favorite, and playing so many classic games with improved performance fills me with joy.

My face is ready for the VB replica and Red Alert. I am thrilled to have the Switch 2 experience next to my original VB.

And, someday, I hope to have a VB flashcart to play the impressive homebrew released for the system.

This was the most "Nintendo" announcement by Nintendo. I cannot wait to have the replica next to my actual VB. Some of the VB charm is lost without a controller replica, but I can live without it. Good show, and what an announcment.

The second place, "Most Nintendo" award goes to Samus going full Kaneda. That bike amiibo will be mine.

Y'all ready for this? 2K sure wasn't

My old person eyes read that title as "Stinks onto Switch".

Overall, It was average at best. Nothing was terrible except for the game titles of SE next games

I'm going to say sophomore year will see more original and hardware-pushing projects after the Switch investments start to close out.

Being a Philly native, that town name struck fear into my heart. I expect one of Elliot's skills to be named "GO BIRDS!".

Overall, I am disappointed in the SE offerings. I'm not "over" the art style, but most of the games using this engine feel like chapters of the same game. Yes, I had hopes of a Bahamut Lagoon temaster and overly hopeful Chrono Trigger would reap some of the art style.

And those game titles. Shivers

I likes games. THUMBS UP

I will cease all invesent into the Xbox brand going forward which was already pulled back in the last few years thanks to focus on the Switch.

I know how MS works being in a tech firm and experiencing their constant upsales of products to entrap business while selling the idea of cutting people to save a buck.

You had a fun time with the OG Xbox, peaked with the X360, and then sputtered and crashed starting with the XOne. Farewell, and all the best the remaining devs still being considered for further layoffs for investor strokes.

Let's not forget who really matters in a time like this: the investors.

Thoughts and prayers for the stocks.

I'm in love with the game after so many false starts with Street Fighter over the last 25 years. I haven't had this much fun since Dreamcast-era Capcom.

@TheExile285 I'd rather grab Chun-Li....as an amiibo. Cough

I saw them in Best Buy. Very lovely looking amiibo.

I was an avid Amiibo collector. Was. I have reached a tipping point when the higher cost of investment for single-purpose toys can no longer be justified in my economy. I'd rather put that money into gaming itself. This is also true of the latest Zelda amiibo. It also doesn't help that I'm not a fan of TotK's cast.

$30 to $40 for figures is a no-go now for me, but all the best for those still adding amibo to endless shelves

All the best to those affected. Regardless of compensation packages, being chucked out the door by an entity swimming in cash will leave psychological scars.

So, I'm going to play Devil's Advocate here: I blame SquareEnix for the sad state of the remake.

Just maybe, Forever Entertainment had to deal with a limited budget that brought about the short comings. Square Enix should have had final say if the sloppy work was passable.

Conversely, Forever Entertainment sold SE the idea they could deliver on this contract. SE STILL had to review the final build and say 'good enough'.

I sometimes see bad games like bad movies. I rarely blame the actors. I always blame the director.

Helloooooo, GBA!

From my experience testing SE games, most are CPU-bound. You'll hit the max 30fps but no higher without software patching.

I confirmed this in the ultimate test: Balan Wonderworld. It's a consistent 30fps, but that sure doesn't make the dancing beast creatures any better.

Forever Entertainment chose AI Slop to save cash.
I choose not to buy Forever Entertainment Slop to save case.

It's like poetry. They rhyme.

Know what would have helped prevent this heist? A stapler.

"Legal Dumps" is the name of my alt, nu-rock, all guitar playing proctologist band.

As a teen in the 90s Gex defined my love for the 3DO platform. It was weird, different, not Sega nor Nintendo, and Gex was sarcastic which hit my MST3K sweet tooth

I played that game to full completion (all hidden remotes), and it was as memorable an experience as playing SMW for the first time

Yes, this is for me. Thanks to Dana Gould for being the voice in my head since 1996 (when I got a Goldstar system on super sale).

You could/maybe/possibly go into TAAAAAAAAAAAAATE mode.

;p

Like BoTW, take as much time as you need/want to get to the end. Know what? Go EPIC on the story and make it two parts if you must.

I also expext more time is needed to schedule Chris Pratt.

"Out of Stock
Your Switch 2 is in another store."

I'd be theilled to have a sign for my front lawn.

Not in my house.

The Switch 2 will sit next to the Switch in a proper line.

The Switch is my favorite arcade machine. There is ample software in the classic and arcade categories that don't require the upgrade on the S2, so the systems will remain in rotation for quite sometime.

I welcome our new overlord.

I equate it to moving to a new house or apartment. I'm excited to be in a new place, but it's going to be a task filled day. The fun starts after the unboxing and arranging my furniture (or lack of it).

Accounts will be moved. Certain features will remain on the OLED while others move to S2. I have to make another Japanese account to access Japanese NSO features. Then comes upgrade downloads.

I might start gaming in July.

@axelhander Tell that to the next group of people included in another round of EA layoffs. I'm sure it will be comforting news to them.

The PC-88 and PC-98 computers say shooters cannot be too erotic.

I'm all digital post the Wii U era.

This is my favorite update feature. I have over 700 digital items, and the eShoo page was just a nightmare interface to scroll and dowbload items individually.

The Virtual Game Card screen is adorable with the carts, highly sortable, and very responsive. Having multi-select for downloads is the cherry on top of the sundae..

Well played, Nintendo.

Let them fight.

But, my opinion is I don't like DK64. Never have and never will. If anything, using the DK rap signalled how arrogant DK would be in the initial meetup.

Smart A** response:
Full-Games-On-Carts HD Remix Remastered

Constructive response:
Animal Crossing

GameStop is dead to me.

My home managed to get one though the Target App while the main website was hammered. Also got a lovely 5% discount and free shipping. A few bucks were saved, amd no cancellatiion yet

I still await my Golden Ticket via the Nintendo Store as well. If no issues come up with Taget, I might pass on my reservation.

I'm glad to see Fast Fusion at pole position for the Switch 2 release. FF is now my most anticipated, non-Nintendo game after I rediscovered Fast RMX in the past month.

It stands alone in what it Nintendoes.
