@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?"

I finished Rusted Moss two days ago (fantastic metroidvania, I highly recommend it) so now I'm playing World of Goo which is pretty good but it's not blowing me away, I'm halfway through so I might be able to finish it this weekend and if so I'll probably start Arranger, I also went back to play more Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble because they released a patch yesterday that fixed the 50hz unity bug and the game is so much smoother now, still has some frame drops in a few levels (the ones with portals in particular) but it's still a major improvement and now I can recommend the game with no strings attached, if you've been on the fence with the game because of the 50hz bug then now is a great time to jump in
Have a good weekend everyone

@NielsNL @Altaria_97 @Qwiff they released a patch today that fixed the 50hz unity bug and the game is soooo much smoother now

If there is one problem I had with Blasphemous 2 is that the enemy variety was pretty low, most of the enemies you fought in late game were just stronger versions of those you fought during the early game so if this is DLC then I'm hoping it addresses that
Still love the game though and would gladly replay it if there is DLC/big update coming

the Donkey Kong icon from Wave 3 is a mood

have they patched the frame rate issues in this?

looks right up my alley, I will definitely pick it up at some point soon

@ottoecamn they patched it twice but I don't know how much those patches actually fixed, from what I've heard it's still kinda rough
and even if they fixed the most egregious issues that doesn't mean that the next remaster will be free of those issues, Bamco will have an uphill battle trying to sell people on this no matter what because hearing "the last remaster was really bad at launch and it took them months to get it to an OK state" doesn't inspire confidence that this remaster will be any good

if this is real then I'm very curious about how Bamco handled this one with how bad Tales of Symphonia remaster was, especially on Switch

I like both but I slightly prefer the Japan cover so that gets my vote
I'm surprised this game is not on NSO yet, the first game and Demon's Crest are so I wonder why this hasn't made it's way there yet

I actually started Rusted Moss this time instead of saying I'll do it and then never do, it takes some time getting used to the bungee-rope-like grapple but it's very fun so far
I also picked up Satryn DX, very fun endless twin-stick shooter
Got some Groove Coaster DLC on sale so I'll also be playing that
Have a good weekend everyone

@Zeebor15 it's Aplus

I need to finish the first one but what I've played of it was pretty fun so I'm definitely interested in the sequel
Btw there is a small error in the article, when you click on the River City Saga: Three Kingdoms link it takes you to the River City Saga: Three Kingdoms Next page and not the first game

I'm ok with this, august is packed with stuff I want to play as is, I can wait
still very excited for this, really liked the first game and the steam next fest demo of this one was really fun

@SillyG the only game I can kinda see what you mean with this complaint is the first Theatrhythm but Curtain Call and especially Final Bar Line offer more than enough content in their base versions so I don't see how they're "half a game" (seriously, Final Bar Line has 385 songs in the base version, how is that "half a game"?) and if the theoretical Nintendo Theatrhythm would offer similar amount of content then I wouldn't see a problem with that having a bunch of DLC packs

I haven't played the remakes of the first two games in this series yet, maybe at some point this year but it's not on my list priorities, but I am very happy for the fans of these games
I'm just glad that it's not a Bloober Team game, that would've been the worst outcome
