@TheExile285 oh I'm absolutely not expecting Switch 2 news before the holiday season, I just think the timing of this announcement is funny

Nintendo out here trolling everyone who is desperately wanting Switch 2 news and honestly I'm here for it

they're both pretty good tbh but I like the Japan one a little bit more

but when will they let me download the Thatcher's Techbase mod on Switch?

I'm definitely picking up Ys X and I'll probably pick up Yakuza Kiwami, idk if I'm gonna get Super Mario Party Jamboree because the focus on side modes doesn't inspire confidence in me, I need to see how Sonic X Shadow Generations runs on Switch before I decide if I want to pick it up
Outside of this list the other things I'm getting are Card-en-Ciel, ASTLIBRA Gaiden and Blasphemous II: Mea Culpa DLC

@LikelySatan funny thing is I never played Xtreme 2, I just think Berkana has a cool design so that's why I have her as my pfp

oh hell yeah Climax, finally a good 2D F-Zero game on Switch

my problem with Superstars wasn't really the lack of modes because the extra modes in previous games were just a distraction to me, something I play once and never touch again, so I was hoping for the next game that they would just not bother with extra modes at all and just focus on the main mode but it seems like I'm not getting that and instead they again overload the game with extra modes that don't have the staying power of the main mode

@Olrun this is not the DLC

@LadyCharlie it's 50% off on the EU e-shop, is that not the case in other regions?

it's $5 on launch sale right now so I might get it just to see if it's at least fun to play but I wish they had an option for the original visuals, I don't know how hard it would be to implement that at this point but maybe it's something they can patch in later

@Clyde_Radcliffe I feel like if Arcade Archives TGM3 was going to happen it would've by now given how quickly TGM2 got an Arcade Archives release after the first one, plus that game runs on some Windows based arcade board so that might be tricky to emulate

@Snatcher if you play Tetris to be relaxed then you should probably avoid the TGM games, they are very difficult and aren't made to be relaxing

@Clyde_Radcliffe a couple days ago the TGM twitter account posted a zoomed in screenshot from the location test version of TGM4 (they've deleted it though) so I think it might actually be TGM4
I just hope that it'll release on consoles and not just arcades

but will they come up with a better subtitle than Terror Instinct?

@MSaturn I can't speak for everyone but personally Worms 3D was a bit too janky in it's execution for me to enjoy it fully even though it had a lot I liked about it
Worms 4 however was a big improvement and the remaster, Ultimate Mayhem, was even better and is my second favorite game in the series right behind Armageddon (that version even has all single player missions and multiplayer maps from 3D) and I wish it got a modern rerelease

@Ryu_Niiyama yeah they just announced an hour ago that it's getting delayed to 2025

@Liam_Doolan the price is wrong, it's $3.99

I feel like if it was at least partially legit then Nintendo would've made some sort of "nuh uh" statement like they did when 3DS XL leaked or maybe they would even reveal the thing last week but none of those happened so I'm leaning on it probably being fake
Edit: Although I will say that I do expect that Switch 2 will look similar to this "leak" given the statements from Nintendo how the next console will be more of a "next Switch model" rather than a brand new thing and personally that's what I want anyway, just a more powerful version of the Switch that's backwards compatible with both physical and digital games

Japan wins for me
I like the idea of the Europe one but the composition leaves something to be desired, and the North America one is just Japan but with much worse colors

@larryisaman the DLC content unlocks after you get Shadow of the Simurgh power, which you get 1/3 into the game so it's definitely not post-game content, plus when you enter there you lose access to most of the upgrades you earn in the main game so it's not like entering there after you beat the game will make any difference

pretends to be shocked

It looks like what I expected it to look like given the comments how the next console is going to be a "next Switch model" rather than something completely new and I'm fine with that but why is Nintendo still allergic to analog triggers?

Why do people think that Nintendo will reveal Switch 2 in a normal Direct instead of giving it it's own trailer?
Anyway I'm so tired of constant "rumors" about Switch 2, don't people have massive backlogs of games to play? Maybe it's a good time to get through some of that

I expected that, I just hope that it's rock solid 30 and isn't too blurry

@MARl0 and even on PS5 it had frame drops from what I've seen, it feels like they didn't even bother with optimizing that game

@HeroYoshiko crossplay on other platforms is already unstable, adding Switch to the mix where most people don't play on LAN would make things even worse
like obviously I would prefer if it had crossplay but if it's going to make the online experience worse then it's better to not have it

makes sense considering the online connectivity issues the Switch can have plus a lot of people who play online games on Switch play on wi-fi so that would cause a lot of problems for people playing on other systems

bring back Booksquirm
I know it was in Superstars but they should have it in this one too

she finally got invited, love to see it

@kkslider5552000 I think it's a similar situation to Ace Combat 7, where the development of the Switch version started way before the developers even knew about the existence of the successor

@LadyCharlie Strive on Nintendo Switch /j

I'm fine with waiting but I would really like to know why is this taking so long, other updates didn't take this long to release on consoles so I wonder what's the deal with this one

this would be cool news if the characters didn't all play the same
it's even less cool considering that the move pool is apparently even more limited than Shredder's Revenge which is not great because I thought that game was a bit too limited already

but what version of Armageddon is this based on?
this game received a bunch of updates on PC over the years, will this be based on the latest one or will they go the lame route and use the original 1999 version?

@Lynas there is a Yakuza TV Series coming out in October so this is most likely done for promotion purposes

@Joeynator3000 it means Future

I'd be more interested if this had the Tetris Plus games

@GameOtaku it's on NSO

oh I would love if this got a reveal today, this and W.M.D are my favorite 2D Worms games so having them both on Switch would be amazing
now if only they also ported Worms Ultimate Mayhem to Switch

I played the original and remember it being pretty shallow so if this is just an HD port then I'm not gonna care

@Lightsiyd it's still available on the EU e-shop, not sure about other regions

I played the demo of this and the input lag was atrocious and it crashed a bunch, seems like the crashing wasn't fixed so the input lag probably wasn't improved either so I'm going to wait for a patch

I loved the last two Ys games, especially VIII, so I'm very excited for this

@JackieCMarlow it's also live on the EU e-shop

as far as the games that were reviewed here I only played Arranger and TMNT: Splintered Fate and I voted for TMNT
I would vote for the Arranger but about halfway through it I encountered a bug that made it impossible for me to progress and required starting the game from beginning, I've heard that I'm not the only one who had that happen AND it can happen in a few different points of the game, so that completely destroyed my motivation to keep playing which is a shame because I was enjoying it quite a bit, maybe I'll go back to it once they patch it up a bit

SteamWorld Heist 2 takes priority for me this month but I'll also be getting Volgarr the Viking 2, Vividlope, Castaway and Shadow of the Ninja - Reborn
I'm gonna skip Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club for now as I haven't played the first two games yet and from what I've heard Tomba! Special Edition has a few issues that need to be patched so that's a pass for now as well

I really wish they would just made these themes available to be unlocked with tickets because I really don't feel like playing this game online these days

I think another reason is that it took so long to come out that a lot of people forgot that it was even coming out at all, it was announced in 2020 so it took 4 years to release, I remember that when it came out I've seen a bunch of comments here and elsewhere that just said "wait, when was this announced?"
