World of Warcraft Classic (PC) Still working my way through Stonetalon but first I got a quick detour to Tarren Mill. Right now I am level 25 on my Orc Warlock.
Hexen (PC) This dropped a few days ago on Gamepass . I always enjoyed this game on N64 so I figure I give it a shot on PC.
Guns of Fury (Switch) A neat little Metroidvania combining Metal Slug, Mega Man in a Metroidvania exploration game. I just got the double jump and working on the third boss.
I think next gen we will see a huge shift towards PC gaming. With Sony and MS doing what they are doing alot of their fans, myself included will make the leap to PC. While sure some will shift towards Nintendo I dont think alot of PS and Xbox players will shift towards Nintendo. Alot of them arent big into the type of games Nintendo is into. And yes Nintendo is getting 3rd party games on the Switch 2 the power of the Switch 2 will keep some PS and Xbox players away.
Its all about history and legacy. Nintendo is what made video games main stream. I mean yeah you had Atari and others before Nintendo but they were weren't seen in the same way as Nintendo. As time goes on people want to see and experience what made Nintendo Nintendo. They want to see where the Legend of Zelda began or Star Fox or Metroid but as time goes on its getting harder and harder to find and use the old technology so the way that the new Gen can experience is remakes and such. Not only that but developers who were limited by technology at the time can witness their full vision of a game that they couldnt before.
I was working at the time and I heard about it from some co-workers who when at break where going around catching Pokémon. They were going on saying oh I caught a Pikachu outside in the parking lot and oh did you catch the Geodude in the toy section stuff like that. When I asked them what they were doing they showed me and I wont lie I was intrigued with it. Especially since at that time I didnt own a car so I walked everywhere so I was always catching things and hitting stops. It didnt take long till everyone I knew was playing the game.
I played for about a year and a half, I mainly stopped playing because I pretty much caught all the Pokémon in my area. My breaking point was when I went to New York in 2018 for a vacation and though cool I can get some new Pokémon only to discover they had the same Pokémon that I did where I live. After that I was done with the game since I felt I did everything I could. Then of course when COVID hit everyone that I knew that played stopped since well we couldnt go anywhere so that was that for me.
I thought it was an interesting game, definitely neat to see everyone playing. I honestly havent seen my town so alive with people before or even after Pokémon Go came out. I would see mobs of people everywhere. I even happened to go down a nature by a river in my town that I knew for years and never explored before, so there's that.
However just like an fad it had its time, but still happy anniversary Pokémon Go. The only mobile game that had my attention longer then a few hours.
Jaws Retro Edition (Switch) Yep I am going to need a bigger console. This game has a soft spot in my heart as it was the second NES game I ever played. So I will be starting it this weekend after of course I start my 4th off with watching Jaws as its not the 4th untill you watch it.
Forza Horizon 6 (Series X) Doing seasonal objectives.
@WhiteTrashGuy Either that or they will stick with the current gen consoles, Series X, PS5, Switch. But once consoles get rid of the disc/card slot they are going to be screwed.
Well that sucks, always wanted to play this game but never got around to it and I guess I never will. A little warning would have been nice like you have done for other games in the past @NintendoLife.
@DennisReynolds Technically not a rerelease. Its just an emulation of the PS1 version and you have to be subscribed to PS+ Premium or whatever its called to play it.
@Diaclone_Dad Gon was only on the home port on PS1 he was never in the arcade version. As a result of him being in the game its very rare that they rerelease the home port of Tekken 3.
The Tekken 3 rerelease on PS4/PS5 is not technically a rerelease its part of PS+ Premium service where much like NSO a subscription gets people access to emulated PS1 games. The last time Tekken 3 was rereleased was a port of the Arcade version on Tekken 5 for the PS2.
Not to many N64 memories as I didnt own one, I went the Playstation route. My brother did own a 64 and mostly we played GoldenEye, Ocarina of Time, and tbe N64 WWE games.
I like how they are tying the survivor triliogy to the original trilogy rather then making it a different time line/multiverse thing. Definitely interested in this game.
@coolioam @StewdaMegaManNerd The fact that ever since it has came out you can play it in one form or another on every Nintendo console since the N64. While games like A Link Between Worlds are stuck on one console.

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think Of Link's New Ocarina Of Time Design?
@coolioam @StewdaMegaManNerd The fact that ever since it has came out you can play it in one form or another on every Nintendo console since the N64. While games like A Link Between Worlds are stuck on one console.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think Of Link's New Ocarina Of Time Design?
I think that instead of beating a dead horse Nintendo bring A Link Between Worlds to Switch.
