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.

Super for the fans of the franchise and for Nintendo scoring (sports) a big game (more sports).

For me, American football died in 2005. Happy 20th Deathiversary. EA monopolized digital football, and I haven't touched an iteration since. I morbidly tried the XX special edition because it had a 16-bit game bonus.

I see no reason ever to dabble in EA services again, and it shocks me they haven't tried to cram Fanduel into the mix. But, I'm sure some Jr. Executive is trying their darndest to do it.

Thoughts and prayers.

Stick drift is a common effect for the type of analog technology Nintendo used for the JoyCon and Pro Controller. My launch Pro Controller started drifting last year. I found mounds of cat fur around the stick, and there's still some in there today. Also, surprise, I also have stick drift in the Hori Zelda JoyCon, an accessory Nintendo did not produce.

The stick technology is ubiquitous in Sony and Microft controllers as well, and drift occurs with them too. But, let's blame Nintendo. It's easier that way.

I'm eager to see the future teardown videos to set to the rest what technology Nintendo decided to use this generation.

I have a love/hate relationship with GX that keeps it below X as my favorite F-Zero.

But all this F-Zero news made me go back to FAST RMX which I never gave much attention until the Switch 2 sizzle reel had a snippet of the next game. Combined with an OLED, RMX is now my filler F-Zero/WipEout. I can now see how stunningly fast and beautiful RMX is. I'm now more eager for the next game then playing (and quitting) GX again.

Resistance is futile.

Everytime the C button is pressed, an angel gets its wings.

Quantity is not quality.

The SNES is my pick for best launch library. It's memorable, it gave me my favorite classic Mario game, and those games are still beloved to this day.

Congrats to Nintendo for getting aome heavy hitters on the Switch 2, but only MKW is a must for me on day 1, then any updates available for the many Switch games I already own. I do want Cyberpunk, but I'm thrilled to revisit BotW with the new coat of paint.

This game has always had my interest. Now, it has my attention.

I'm over the manufactured outrage. I'm all in on the Switch 2. Deal with it, Internet.

Of all the Switch games, I'm most excited for ACNH to receive a performance boost. At certain times, the game does hit a high-enough frame rate that it looks like a stop motion. I don't foresee a graphic boost, but keeping the game at 30 fps or higher in the densest of designs brings a grin to my face. I'm at over eleven-hundred hours, and I don't that stopping anytime soon.

I'll pay for a Nintendo experience knowing I usually have fun and have my family interested in joining or watching. My Switch time paid off with an invitation for. Switch 2, and I gladly picked Switch 2 with MKW.

That said, the gaming market is controlled by supply and demand. If Nintendo doesn't see traction early on, prices will drop. But if the prices are a sweet spot for the masses, don't hold your breath for a seismic change in pricing. My best to people not wanting to pay, but compared to other portables, the console market, and the chaos eviscerating the global markets, I am pleased at the pricing structure.

That is stunning performance by the Switch 2. My mind is racing with future Mario, Zelda, and Animal Crossing projects.

Cow FTW. I'm going with the bundle. I'm eager to see how my Nintendo Store Golden Ticket delivers.

Just buy both.

The game industry has been sabotaging itself for a long time. Regular editions, Deluxe editions. Ultra Editions. Subscriptions. Re-re-releases.

People are willing to spend plenty of cash on all these products on all platforms even classic systems, also on statues, toys, and "experiences". The reality is Nintendo has the spotlight right now and is the easiest punching bag. And people have a deep DEEP almost obsessive expectation that Nintendo belongs to the gamer. Nintendo are a publicly traded company with the same goals as other entities. And prices have to be reasonable to the work and revenue goals they have to achieve. The business of games isn't all games.

Hyperbolic claims Nintendo is ruining the industry, your childhood, or a community is just childish.

I got my Golden Ticket with My Nintendo. I hope I don't fall into the chocolate river.

This is an insignificant price increase on decades of locked pricing that was worse in the 80s and 90s with far less return on investment.

I'm also mostly digital starting around 2020 and this pricing scale fits my life and budget. The game sharing is going to be huge in my house along with our family expansion membership.

My body is ready for the MKW bundle.

Excellent for me.

Biggest shock for me is not only are amiibo not dead, SF6 of all games will have figures.

I'm not thrilled to learn and discern express SD Cards from the regular lot, but all recent systems now demand faster read times for 4K output (Wow...Nintendo and 4K).

And just 2 months away. June obliterates my wallet every year.

I am a veteran of FF III/VI since launch in 1994, and I am grateful the game does have a presence on modern platforms. But things still rub me the wrong way in this release. One of my biggest gripes, the appearance of the mini-map in every screen you enter, is now addressed. Turn it off in one screen, and it remains off moving forward. But this leads into my over all gripe: so much hand-holding for the player. I dislike the insistence of hints that take away from challenge and learning. Besides the previous insistence of mini-maps on every screen, another example is the hint screen for Sabin's/Bash's blitz attacks. I know how to do them from experience or re-learning from the Abilities screen, but now I feel stressed to match the screen detail.

Also, this is a superficial thing, but I hate that the menu screens are locked to the very plain blue style when original FFIII gave us the option to pick a theme for windows and also to adjust color ranges. I love and miss my marble-esque theme.

Finally, and being wishful, I'd love if the original releases were included with their respective remasters to allow people to experience the good and the bad of those releases. FFIII/VI is the most impactful RPG of my gaming life. I just love going back to what was achieved 30 years ago and would love to do it again on the Switch.

That genre rename sounds so fetch.

I side with Nintendo.

They own the copyright to the franchise. They can do as they please with recognition.

To Nintendo, the current team that did the port work, testing, and all the grunt work to get to release is the focus. Slapping in credits to the previous team would dilute the recognition.

I'll go even colder. The previous contract demands were met for the first release. That team was paid and given credit. Unless there is a stipulation for continued credit recognition in future re-releases, the matter is closed. Nintendo isn't a white knight. It's a business. Get everything in writing or deal with it.
