Re: Nintendo Download: 15th May (North America)

TYRANACLES

This will be my first dive into a fantasy life game. I preordered one off of playasia and can’t wait to play it, I just hope it performs well. The capcom game I’ve ordered to, that will be my first time trying power stone which looks great. We really do need more 3d fighting games.

Re: Talking Point: Are You Ghosting Switch 1 To Save Yourself For Switch 2?

TYRANACLES

I’m actually playing the switch more, loading up on physical games I’ve missed. I have a switch 2 coming but part of me wants to just get a brand new oled instead to play all the great games I have. I don’t foresee the switch 2 having as many great physical releases at this point. I’m fine hanging my hat on the switch if that’s the case.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (10th May)

TYRANACLES

@Stormcloudlive I’ve actually been interested in these games lately. I did read about how the controls are cumbersome so I went with the classic game. It still is clunky I think but they added touch controls so I dunno if it’s much better or not.

This weekend I’ll be taking the moms out to dinner near this place on the lake. I rented a golf cart so we’ll drive all over the park and hopefully enjoy the nice weather. I’m sure I’ll play some hello kitty island adventure a bit and I’ve recently returned to Overwatch on the X and it’s good to be back playing mystery heroes again.

I preordered Yasha on vgp for the physical but I’m not so sure it was something I really needed as it is another rogue lite but it looked decent and I do like the art and time period. Hopefully it’s a suprise sleeper.

Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Major Switch 2 Games

TYRANACLES

Mario kart, donkey Kong, and Metroid are sure shots for me on switch 2. I’m considering grand bazaar tomagotchi plaza, and the new rune factory. I’ve never played any of these games or their series so not sure about them. Kirby star crossed and maybe the two Zelda upgrades physically I’m considering also just because I like those games so much.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Dev Tells Studios "Do Not Underestimate The Physical Edition"

TYRANACLES

For anyone who hasn’t played this game or the expansion, it’s definitely a good time. I’ve already played thru and beaten this so I don’t believe I’ll be revisiting it but I really hope it does well. These developers are one of the few good guys these days as they’re going the extra mile for physical collectors. I’ve never played a rune factory or that many harvest moon/story of seasons games but I’ll probably get them since there’s not much else physical I’ll be getting for switch 2.

Re: Talking Point: Will You Be Buying Any Game-Key Card Switch 2 Games?

TYRANACLES

I won’t bother with key cards. I won’t want to use up much space on my switch so games I can play elsewhere I’ll just download them on that with more space on my other options. From here on out I’ll be saving more money I think on games which isn’t a bad thing for me. I will be getting the card releases of games I like. Yeah it’s going to be more than I’m used to spending on a game here out but I’m thinking the games I get will be worth it.

Re: Major French Retailer Says Switch 2 Pre-Orders At "Historic Level"

TYRANACLES

I do not feel nearly as hyped for this system launch as I have any other Nintendo system before it. Mario kart and donkey Kong look great but everything else shown I’m into I can play on the switch. I’m plenty happy having Mario kart as its only launch day one must have but the price hike coupled with the fear of a widely digital game front for the future in limited storage is a major bummer for me. I’ll try and get this when I can for sure but I don’t believe I’ll be buying as much for this thing if it’s going to be mostly key cards or digital which may be a good thing for me anyway for the price. I’m happy it can play most of the switch physical games I have tho, I have plenty to occupy myself with as it is.

Re: Feature: 27 GameCube Games We'd Love To See On Nintendo Switch 2 NSO

TYRANACLES

For games not mentioned I’d like, timesplitters future perfect, gauntlet legends dark legacy, xmen legends 1 and 2, twilight princess, 007 nightfire, Mario tennis, Metal Arms, Mario party 4 and 5, ultimate muscle, def jam vendetta, Metroid prime 2, cubivore, freedom fighters. I’d be suprised if anything I mentioned that’s not first party would ever show up here tho.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 US Pre-Orders Start 24th April, System & Launch Game Pricing Unchanged

TYRANACLES

@JohnnyMind you have a good soul and are always positive. I try to be that’s a good trait to have.

I’m happy to hear we finally have a date in the west, I’ll try and get one with a pro controller, Mario kart, and I’d like to see about and sd card in the future. I’m not sure where to get the right express card in 1 tb size for a good price. It is pricey but that’s just how things are going to be for awhile. Groceries are bad enough. I’ll just have to be choosy on which games I buy moving on.

Re: ICYMI: Street Fighter 6 Is Also Getting A 'Standard' Release On Switch 2

TYRANACLES

That’s not a bad price in some regions but for me, I’ll probably get it in other hardware primarily to save storage space on the switch 2. Unfortunately I won’t be buying anything for switch 2 that’s not either first party or on a physical cart because the internal storage is so limited and a decent size sd express card, you’d need at least a tb or 2 is quite pricey. Having to delete and download a game to make room is too inconvenient when I could just play elsewhere. Either way it is cool to have street fighter back in switch and my favorite fighter to this day soul caliber 2.

Re: Opinion: The Switch 2 Is A Powerhouse For The Price

TYRANACLES

$450 I think is reasonable enough. I’m not sure that’s what it’ll be here in the west but id be fine with that. I think the bigger issue is game prices and if we are going to have as many physical releases or not. It wouldn’t be as big of a problem on pricing if you could catch good sales on Nintendo games like you can a PlayStation game. An $80 game shouldn’t remain $80 for years and years.

Re: Opinion: A Few Too Many Questions & Unwelcome Surprises Are Taking The Shine Off The Switch 2 Reveal

TYRANACLES

I’m sure the tariffs are a major factor in cost here which I can’t fault Nintendo on because they are a business. I’m not sure $80 for a game is right and I still don’t know what the system will actually cost in the states, but we can always wait it out if it’s too much, there are more important things. I’m maybe most saddened about what could be a major departure from physical games. I’ve just always liked buying Nintendo stuff physically because they do make my favorite products, it just feels cheap and so artificial digitally. Its funny tho thats how I play games on my Xbox but Nintendo I just like those games more and having them on my shelf. It’s just not what I’m used to I guess. I feel like I’ll hold on to the switch for a while now because I have so much left to play on there. I thought the showcase Nintendo had was excellent but all the news that’s coming out after is like having the rug pulled out from you. I’ve shifted from I want to preorder right away to a wait and see. That’s a first for me in Nintendo. So I am disappointed.

Re: First Impressions: Nintendo Switch 2 'Wows' Most When You Go Back To Your Old Switch

TYRANACLES

We really haven’t seen much of a jump in innovation in the last two or three generations I feel. We’re getting mostly rereleases of games from ps4/xbone with some upgrades but it’s really nothing new. I commend Nintendo for what they did with the switch and its portability and I’m ok with more of the same, tho I’d like something new. The price hikes I kindve saw coming but not $80 if that becomes a thing and who knows in the states what the console will really cost with the tariffs delaying a preorder. The move away from physical I guess was written on the wall to with everyone else doing it but it does put a damper on things. This is the first time I’ve ever held onto a past console to play and even intend on upgrading my old one to an oled solely to keep my physical games alive. I have bought so many for the switch and while we were told it would be backwards compatible, I’m hearing now it’s iffy on what all will actually be. I’m going to get one but I’m waiting to see more from it.

Re: Elden Ring's Switch 2 Physical Version Seemingly Tarnished By 'Game-Key Card' Release

TYRANACLES

I probably won’t be buying as many games for my switch which is good considering the prices. Third party games I’ll get for Xbox, which I only buy for digitally. I just always liked the switch carts. I may get me a new oled model soon since I’ve only ever had my launch switch. One of my joy cons drifts and it could use an upgrade. I have such a large game collection for it and I’m starting to think I won’t be able to play all of my games, especially the limited print or import ones.

Re: Nvidia: Switch 2 Has "10x The Graphics Performance Of The Nintendo Switch"

TYRANACLES

I think the biggest things I’m having to deal with on the new system is the potential price hike of the games and with these big chunky games, physical media you’re probably going to see less and less. These carts just won’t hold some of these games, I do believe I read cyberpunk is all in a cart so that’s promising I guess but how many companies will actually do that. Capcom and Konami I believe won’t. The system has somewhere around 500gb of space so that’s promising will fill up quick, I’ll definitely need at least a tb sd card, not sure what that’ll run these days.

Re: Donkey Kong Country Artist Shares His Thoughts On Kong's New Design

TYRANACLES

Personally change is hard for me to, I was used to the DK we had and still really like that one. I think the Kong Country DK had a more heroic almost Herculean look to him. I don’t hate this one tho it just looks more like Tiny Kong from the past games to me. It’s a bit more silly and youthful. When or if they put diddy beside him I’m not sure how they’ll match up. They’d almost be better off to make diddy the more mature leader Kong. I’m happy with this next game tho, it’s about time we got a return to a 3d game but I also hope they don’t leave 2d in the past as they’re both good. Donkey Kong platformers are right up there with Mario platformers for me. I may even prefer the country series to Mario’s snes outings.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price Has Been Confirmed

TYRANACLES

Yes it’s concerning to me Nintendo would charge this and the $80 hike on some games could start a new trend. I feel like Indy saying this, “it had to be Mario Kart.” If enough people held off on paying that then maybe things would change but it likely will not happen. I’ll probably hold off but if I’m seeing everyone is playing I’ll likely cave in, it does look great. I know Nintendo is a business but this is scummy for them to set that precedence.
