Synecdoche

I played Splatoon 1 much more than I did the sequels combined, it was great fun. May have to break it out before it goes away for good.

Is there a physical release planned in the US for the first game on its own?

Because I already have the sequel and am not going to buy it again.

It’s not the most ambitious game, and some people in the article on the demo thought it needed more time in the oven. But they’ve been working on it for five years?

They could market Fire Emblem Awakening as a deluxe version if they just added everyone’s feet.

And I said this in another article but I would go for a BoxBoy series compilation, or Pushmo compilation.

Clearly the delay isn’t an ideal scenario. They’ve said that XCX would be too expensive. Metroid Prime 4 seems unlikely to appear before Switch 2 does. And I don’t imagine they could start designing any amiibo today and still get it in stores by the end of the year.

But Twilight Princess HD, Wind Waker HD, Super Mario Galaxy 2, a Pokémon remake, and Metroid Prime 2 Remastered might be possible. I’d also go for Yoshi’s Woolly World, and a Kirby port. Not sure there’s enough time for Miitopia 2, or the FE4 remake even though it’s been rumored for years.

They could release MK8D with all the DLC on cart if they wanted. Ditto with SSBU. Throw us a bone, and just charge $59.99 each at this point.

Can we get a BoxBoy series compilation, or Pushmo compilation? Maybe Snipperclips 2, Part Time UFO 2, Good Job! 2, or The Stretchers 2? Obviously none of these would be system-sellers, but they were good games, and I’m trying to think small and reasonable. It’s an interesting challenge.

Kate’s stuff is always a joy.

Honorable mention to Arizona from Them's Fightin' Herds?

@Swooce They are? That’s how I got Pyra and Mythra.

@James021 If you don’t want your Qbby anymore I’ll take him off your hands!

@link12684 Shulk is $15.99 on the Nintendo store right now.

@Dissident It was an especially weird comment given that they said they don’t even have time to play the game in the first place.

Anyway, this looks like something special. Can’t wait.

Thanks Sakurai and team. Is it too soon to put in requests for the next game? Ryza and Impa for Smash please. With an Alis Landale spirit, or whatever comes next.

@Ryu_Niiyama That was a real bummer. I’d have bought Byleth (and Robin, for that matter) if there were a female version.

Foot fetishists pausing at 0:55.

These do look pretty good though, hope they make some smaller and more affordable statues based on these.

I can’t imagine that this news would affect me in any real way but I guess I’ll stay tuned.

@HeadPirate That comment deserves more likes

I fell off Setsuna after a few hours. I suppose I wanted to like it more than I actually did. I did like the look though, and I still like the idea of their type of games; hope there’s still a place for them.

I had the other two but I never did get a Guardian for some reason so I picked it up now. Thanks for the heads-up.

I won’t let myself get into figure collecting, but she looks great.

Did they ever make a wooden ball from Legends: Arceus?

Ryza and Impa for Smash please

If you’re in the US, Best Buy has pre-orders available now.

@rainbowtick The Splatoon 2 Pro Controller was pretty colorful, no? And the Xenoblade one.

I don’t really need these but they look so nice that I wish I did.

@BookhouseBoy Years ago, from the rumors. Hopefully one day they’ll be true.

@strongest_link That seems like a Wii U scenario to me. The average person won’t know what it is.

@Bobb Glad you got it!

@Pikachupwnage Yeah I’m not worried.

@ThatZeldaNerd I would actually love it if they called it Switch 2. Simple, straightforward, easy for anyone to understand. I know people always expect them to do something novel…but when you’ve never used the most obvious naming system before, it actually is novel lol

Seems like a bit of a low percentage, given that it’ll likely be with us sooner rather than later. I expect the number to change over time though.

@Bobb It looks like it’s still available to me.

Based on the trailer, this almost could’ve been saved for Crab News Thursday.

Still waiting for Phantasy Star to be on this list.

$70 per game would not be cool. It won’t have PS5 specs.

I’m fine with the rest though, and it’s basically what I’ve expected.

Phantasy Star - a thousand times yes. That’s all I ever want from Sega.

Someone always mentions Altered Beast but that game was really not very engaging.

Phantasy Star I - IV, if they can be done well.

Just got done playing it for tonight and I read this. Great news, it’s a fun one.

I never played Style Savvy, but my family’s been having a nice time with this one. There are some things I would do differently but as someone else said, we still like it for what it is. We’ll see how long it lasts, but four of us are playing it now for a little bit at a time, so I don’t regret the purchase at all. Also looking forward to the updates in December and January.

21/25. Shocked that Corrin wasn’t featured, if you’re gonna make a quiz like this.

This reminds me of those breathless reports back in the day of a new invention that was coming that would change human cities themselves…and then it was just a Segway lol

Anyway, the only thing I really want from Sega are Phantasy Star remakes.

I was waiting for it to go free to play. I can wait as long as it takes.

@OrtadragoonX He literally said, “I want to voice Mario until I drop dead.’’

And he had no idea what a Mario ambassador even was when someone asked him.

How does the performance compare to Age of Calamity? Some people whined about that game, but I didn’t really have a problem with it.

The penguin’s too cute.

I think it’ll be on Switch 2, just not as a launch title. I think they’ll save it for a bit longer until they need to fill in some kind of release gap. That wasn’t an option in the poll though.

@RobynAlecksys What is a “real gamer”?

@theModestMouse You’re such a rude person, that was uncalled for.

Can we get some preorders in please?

@Cashews The first English translation was. But you’re right, that’s not what they wrote.

Peach for sure

@GinMiguel For the same reason Nintendo didn’t say “We replaced him as Mario” — it’s just more diplomatic this way.

@Hero-of-WiiU Less than two years ago he said, "I want to voice Mario until I drop dead” so I don’t think it was exactly mutual.

I thought they were making a spin-off before the third game. What happened to that idea?

Lol no thank you
