Synecdoche

Surprised and disappointed that they haven’t announced a new Zelda amiibo yet.

Still overpriced? That’s too bad. I’ll just get the two games I want on sale digitally then.

River City Girls..now 50% boys. I just think that’s funny. Were Hasebe and Mami busy?

I’ll still get it though.

Been waiting for this one, glad it reviewed so well. My son will love it. This is a day one buy for us.

A 60 for Phantasy Star II and 45 for Herzog Zwei? Defamation.

You can “alter the game's code and memory” but you can’t use a second controller? That seems so arbitrary. I guess I don’t understand speedrunning.

People complaining there’s no number at the end to tell them what to think is pretty funny.

This game has been on my watch list for some time, and it does look lovely. I hope they can get the technical issues fixed.

@ClickBrick Since we just got new maps for Boomerang Fu 1, I imagine it’ll probably be a while

@GASEOUS They covered that story last Friday.

Good read, thanks. And a timely one for me too, I just received my copy of Wargroove 1+2 this week. Some day I’ll even play them.

That subhed lol

Re: letter 1, I’m replaying FE Fates right now and it’s kinda weird with the 3DS servers down.

I honestly have no interest in an M-rated horror game from Nintendo. Not what I go to them for at all.

@dojmin To be fair, they would hardly be the first.

Can’t wait for the new Klax.

@Maxz You’re kinda overthinking it. They’re just comparing May 2024 sales to May 2023. This year’s don’t match up because last May, one of the biggest games ever was released.

If you compare box office results for the month that Avengers: Endgame was released with the same month a year later, I bet the box office was down too. Because one of the biggest movies ever had been released.

@gcunit “Rest in pain?” That’s pretty gross.

I had almost all of the Hello Kitty Dream World stuff too, it was just so cute. Keeping my eye on this one.

I would buy it in a second if they make it. The first amiibo I ever bought was the Zelda Smash amiibo and I’d love to keep the collection going.

I don’t know what most of this article is talking about, but 20 new paintings — alright. I can definitely use those. They could’ve added 20 paintings to the eighth power since the game launched and it wouldn’t be too many.

I just want a little $10 set of the Master Sword in its pedestal with Link and Zelda minifigs.

Hoping for a no-crash/soft-lock/frame-drop/excessive-load-time mode

@ClickBrick I’m not sure that a physical release of a 354 MB game that costs $2.99 digitally would be worth it.

@Mz3player Came here to make that exact comment!

I was thinking Jenna Ortega but he’d be good too.

I’ll believe it when I see it, but that would be great and long overdue.

I wish Nintendo repaired Pro Controllers for free, I’ve had more problems with them over the years (but I also use them much more than I use Joy-Cons).

Do they make kids’ sizes? I can see mine liking some of these.

That sucks, I had a great time playing Good Job with my son and would’ve loved a sequel. Wish they’d been able to continue.

A shame this wasn’t revealed on Crab News Thursday.

I’d like a standalone physical copy of the first game as my goodie

@Thief The article says “It's worth mentioning the US version of the Switch release is already Version 1.0.3 at launch, so all of the updates in this patch have been applied.”

Which means it remains near unplayable today.

Stardew Valley is pretty stressful to me. I need those days to be longer! Too much to get done, not enough time.

That’s too bad, I had my eye on this one. I’ll spring for it if they fix the technical issues. Not like I don’t have enough to play in the meantime.

What a legend. Keep it coming!

Hope you do this again next year.

Out of pocket subhed here

@Phin68 I remember at least one $99.99 game on Genesis; by that math TOTK would’ve cost $200. So in a sense you could argue we did better. And it’s true that most games today have been $59.99 for some time, while development costs have increased.

On the other hand, I never asked for photorealistic everything (currently playing Stardew Valley — no ray tracing here). And I don’t believe every company who’ll claim they need to charge $70 to recoup costs, when we’ve seen so much greedflation recently. Which leads to the fact that many regular people are hurting. And not just from the last few years; wages have stagnated for my entire lifetime. And there’s no end in sight. So I agree that when push comes to shove, many may simply buy fewer games.

@Phin68 Movies last two hours. If I bought a new Zelda game and it was only two hours long I’d be pretty upset.

No Lurelin Village from BOTW? I was sure that would be listed here.

Huge success either way. Kudos to Nintendo, I love the Switch.

Still not sure why they’re making it live-action in the first place, but fingers crossed

Gimme that baker

I don’t need these; I don’t even play with Joy-Cons unless forced to. But they looked so nice in the photo that yes I ordered them, they’ll be here tomorrow.

FWIW, Destructoid gave it an 8, and Siliconera a 9.

@PikaPhantom Thanks, I clearly forgot all about it. I do remember a disproportionate amount of recent Pokémon.

Nice, I’ll grab these. But no Pikmin 4 or Fire Emblem Engage?

Not sure I want to drive 30 miles one way to get them, but I do kinda like the cups.

@Diogmites Kinda happy to hear you say that. I tried X a few years ago and hated every minute of it until I dropped it but I thought I was the only one.

@The_Blue_Mage @Tyranexx The pixel remasters just went on sale last month so maybe they thought it was too soon to do it again.
