TYRANACLES

@andyg1412 really? I honestly had no idea. I thought you had to play the arcade game for those, I knew some of the ship parts you did. I probably never unlocked them I know I never made it through the campaign.

It look great even at that awful $80 price point. I hope it gets free updates, then I’d have no problem at that price. It seems they did away with picking your glider and wheel set for each cart. I’m most excited for the open world to explore.

It’d be so cool if we could somehow have the AX courses and racer parts patched into this game to play. At least the racer parts could be unlocked since you could have them in GX anyway if you played the arcade version and had them uploaded to your memory card.

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.

I went ahead and preordered this from amazon uk, even tho I thought the physical game wasn’t up for preorder. It’s still unavailable in the U.S. anyway. I don’t want to miss having these physically.

I appreciate the nod to killer instinct in the sub heading.

I’m looking forward to the Metroid game but I’m not sure if I’ll be getting it for switch or switch 2. One day I’ll get a switch 2 I’m sure but in metroids case I’ll go for switch one even if it’s a downgrade if it’s a key card release for the 2. Mario kart is probably my most wanted here tho followed by DK.

This is really fun but no way I’d pay for that. It’s going to be for any hardcore collector and I’m sure will be worth something one day as limited as it is.

$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.

I would absolutely love to have this and wind waker in physical form again, not a key tho please. Mario galaxy 2 is right up there with them to.

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.

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.

@lovesushi who are you talking to? I never even said that? You need to lay off the sushi.

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.

@stuie1234 it’s digital only in that bundle, for me I’ll want the physical. I like having most my games that way and they take up less space for downloading.

@Medic_alert yes and I don’t see there being as many physical carts out there given the sheer size of some of these games. First party, Nintendo has been pretty good with that in the past but beyond that we were starting to see a lot of code in a box games on switch, it’s safe to say there’ll be a whole lot more on switch 2.

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.

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.

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.

Well I have to give it to Nintendo on this one. In the shadow of the mighty MK8 this game actually looks like it’ll do enough different to be something worth our excitement. The bigger races, open world exploration, and all the customization you can do for each character are all exciting looking really good. What a terrific launch title, this will be a cash cow for Nintendo for years to come. Now if only Nintendo could cook up something fresh for smash bros. Last gen we didn’t get something new to the table for either game, so far we have got a new Mario kart and new donkey Kong. That’s a very good start for this coming gen.

Ok now make us another four swords adventures ASAP!

Hopefully it’ll add some more boards and games at least.

Ouch…I’m still feeling the venom from the gold coin blight.

Looks fine enough. A game like this has to have plenty of cosmetics. This should’ve been a pack in game demonstrating the mouse.

Awesome news! Metroid deserves all the juice it can get. I’ll get it for the switch 2 and the mouse support will be great for this and civ 7.

I’ve been holding off on the series x for sometime just waiting for something comprehensive with all the dlc but I may go with Nintendo if we get at least the first two batches. I’m really bad at fighting games but I love the characters in street fighter and it’s fun with friends.

@Qwiff I second you there. I’m a bit disappointed we aren’t getting that especially after we got echoes of wisdom, I thought maybe we’d get some dlc of a Zelda seperate ways kind of thing. This is ok I guess, I’m not the biggest warriors fan, but I may get it. Hopefully it runs well, age of calamity was a little rough.

I miss bond in my gaming. Most of them for me have been enjoyable, even some of the third person games were good fun. I just hope the multiplayer is good mostly. We will need an odd job with dangerous hat.

Wow! The GameCube library is great. I have a special fondness for that era because that’s when I was at a point in my life where I could make a little money at my part time job and run out and buy some games with it. That was such a fun time for me and my first ever midnight launch was for a GameCube. Can’t wait to race online with friends on Fzero, throw a buddy into the abyss with link on soul caliber, and wind waker to play with my daughter for her first time.

Hoo boy this one got me. The best news of the direct for me, back of the bus Mario kart and Metroid. This is a crunchy looking 3d DK, I loved all the smashing. It’s pretty much hulk ultimate destruction as a Kong. I’m going to celebrate with crunchy peanut butter on a banana sandwich!

There’s certainly a lot that have my interest on this list. I was suprised to see that lunar remastered had a physical preorder on Amazon uk. I thought I read an article on here that this game wouldn’t have a preorder window for its cart release? The states don’t have it available yet, I really want to get that one.

@Serpenterror great taste in games there. Yeah I’m excited for more on this one. It was probably my favorite suprise of the direct. If it’s true there are more characters to be revealed who would you like to see round this out?

Very nice we got a good team working on this one. It should be good.

I saw these on limited run games website. It lists it as single player only but luckily it looks like this does have multiplayer. This was a highlight for me on the direct.

I preordered this one on vgp with a few other games already, I can’t wait for this one. I’m really hoping we get a release for terminator 2d no fate soon. I’m really looking forward to that one. Fangamer still has pizza tower, Anton blast, and crow county I’m waiting on to.

Call me a sucker but I’d buy up many of these remasters/rereleases many have mentioned and I’d much rather see fresh new games be reserved for the switch 2 even Metroid prime 4. I expect to see prime 4 fit switch showcased, planet robobot, and then I’m sure will get some suprises. I feel the switch 2 will have GameCube games for the online service so I don’t foresee games from there being brought over to switch. Id be most happy to see Zelda windwaker, twilight princess, oracle of ages/time, or a link between worlds, Fzero Gx, Mario galaxy 2, Luigi’s mansion, prime 2 and 3, punchout! Wii. Any of those games would set me on fire but who knows? I’ve never been able to predict anything Nintendo will come up with, but the biggest suprise for me would be to have any suprise at all this late in the switch chapter.

That’s a good game. This Kirby may be my favorite Kirby of them all and the music is very good. I also thought it had the most interesting setting. It’s not what you’d think you’d find in a Kirby game. It’s a doomsday world that has been long gone and forgotten, so you see nature has taken over these once great city landscapes. So you have both beauty and despair.

I could care less if Bams in or out, why oh why would his exclusion take precedence of them cutting out free roam. That’s actually a deal breaker for many, myself included. The backlash that got you’d think the birdman would’ve swooped out of the nest and pecked the developers into Swiss cheese, but no Bam was a way bigger deal for some reason.

I’ll be playing on wwe 2k25 trying to get some of the persona cards in world tour and maybe some Mario party with the family. I’ve recently ordered dragons dogma and kingdoms of Amalur for switch. I can’t wait to sink my teeth into them.

This little guy looks like what you’d get if Nabbit crossed with an Ewok. It looks very interesting and I like how you can change the environment around to solve puzzles. I just hope it controls well it looks to be 2d in parts and 3d in others so it could be a little tricky on the platforming sections.

@OldManHermit I agree. Metal slug tactics was a major let down for me. I just don’t know how into this I’d be, plus from the looks of it it looks very static in the animation department to me. Tactics games already are a slower moving game but this looks to be in a much lower gear than an xcom. Maybe something more similar to the rabbids games would work better for this

I’m going to need to see far less jabberin and a lot more maneuvin and shootin to get excited for this.

Interesting to see gas as a power-up. Boogerman you are not alone.

This is a hard pill to swallow but really there are greater problems in the world. We’ll just have to endure and get through this and hopefully learn from it.

All these tales of Inafune making a run for it abruptly does have a Dr. Wiley feel to it. I can see him now with the eyebrow dance as he jets off in skele-orbiter.

@PikminMarioKirby I agree. I like both of their picks from gen 2 but I’d like another representing another game to make it feel a little more different from a previous game.

This one won me over. I have to have it. You could put a cigar out on my chest right now and it wouldn’t shake the excitement I have for this game. Let’s Go Arnie!!!

Well I’ll give them credit for trying something new here but I’m not much for a dragons age or xenoblade style of combat. Arceus I liked very well, and really the only thing I really missed from the old games in it were the gym battles and maybe a little less easy leveling. I do think Pokémon needs a good shake up to the formula tho, while keeping the traditional games intact with some nice new remakes.

We’ve spent the last day and a half with family celebrating a special birthday but I did get to play a little bit Kraino for the first time this morning and I really have enjoyed it so far. It’s given me a good enough challenge and I like the music. Tonight I’m going to work a bit on snow runner I think. I’ve just recently picked it back up. I may go back and start Alaska. I went straight into Tamyr from Michigan and that was a mistake.

@BongoBongo me too actually on gamepass I just came here to see what people thought about it all those years ago. It’s a relaxing little game. I don’t always know what object I’m moving around tho. It’s a lot of trial and error in my part.
