@YessMasster Honestly, I would too if I didn't already have an OLED. That left joy-con has such a nice colour scheme and the right one isn't too bad either. (I'm also more of a fan of single player.)
A couple of things I wanted (Ghost Trick! Baten Kaitos! Might even get MP1, as it looks really good and only costs the same as 3DS games used to.) In my opinion, it had to much of a focus on already announced games and post release content for stuff. That said, at this point most of my most wanted list are ports of things from the last couple of generations, so if we get a good Partner Showcase sometime around summer, I'll be happy for the rest of the year.
@Snatcher I think it's because they thought the whole trilogy would be ported for 60$, plus, it's different for us as we've never played the originals, for them it would be a rebuy. It does honestly look really good and I added it to my wishlist.
Remember, this news doesn't concern Europe, where Breath of the Wild was always 10 units of currency more than the rest pricewise. Actually, I'm just glad they didn't do it like Sony who went with 70$=£70 or €70 meaning that they're more expensive over here.
@Snatcher Same here, and I had no interest in the series before last night.
Also, don't see why people are complaining about it being £34.99, I mean 3DS games cost around that amount and it actually looks pretty darn good for a game originally for the GameCube.
@Savage_Joe Nah, he beat me to it, plus I wouldn't block/ignore anyone because then it would make replies to their comments not make any sense, context is important.
@Savage_Joe Please, no, then all of the people on NL who aren't blocked by Anti-Matter will have to listen to him complaining for the rest of the week.
I'm kind of afraid that they'll spend way too much time on TotK, I'm also worried that they'll shoehorn one final trailer for the Mario movie in. Still, if it's anywhere as good as last year's I'll be happy.
Oh man, I'm going to miss her weird humorous articles, they were some of my favourite things on this site. Also, it's been 2 years already? I wish Kate the best of luck in whatever she does next.
@saanaito How dare you call me horny, Tharja just ended up being one of the only people who could survive Lunatic mode. (I put it down to the fact she could kill wyvern riders and knights.)
@Fizza There are some moments where the game lets itself down and slides into as some would call it "utter cringe" and the dungeons are basic but it is overall a very good game and I hope you enjoy it.
Voted for NA/Europe because it's just more interesting to look at and actually shows the titular hunters instead of just the title in the background in the ugliest looking way possible.
Probably getting on with Xenoblade 3 and watching some anime. Might finally try and finish Danganronpa V3, eh, who am I kidding, probably will get sucked into playing Smash with my siblings.
@Vyacheslav333 Jeez, you're really passionate about fighting games, aren't you, that's quite the wall of text. Thanks for the heads up though. I'm trying to get better at fighting games as right now I'm Z rank when it comes to them. So, do you have any advice for a fighting game noob?
Started Xenoblade 3 after getting it for Christmas, the first bit is a bit of a drag but once you can do the hero quests it gets a lot better. Also, Nier Automata and Under Night In-Birth arrived in the post today so I might play them if I can drag myself away from XC3.
Pretty much all of the Guilty Gear games (listening to Love the Subhuman self whilst typing this.)
2. The Metal Gear Solid series (I have them on PS3 but I'm one of those people who pretty much only uses handhelds.)
3. Silent Hill (because, why not?)
4. Xenoblade Chronicles X.
5. Metroid Prime Trilogy
6. Nier Replicant
7. The Like a Dragon series.
@Ooyah Ultimate as a title also has the problem of having connotations of being the final in a series, however in Japanese it's name is closer to Super Smash Bros Special.
@MS7000 Could have sworn I heard that MM was originally E and has at most been E10+, I just checked the ESRB website and that has E for the original and E10+ for the 3DS version.
@Fizza Same here on the jukebox function, although I mainly only use them when my MP3 player's out of charge. (My family are probably some of only people who still use MP3 players.)

Not a fan of Splatoon but those joy-cons, they're beautiful.

@ComfyAko Liar. That's far too long.

Re: Where To Buy Metroid Prime Remastered On Switch
@MS7000 I believe they're reputable, but the only purchase I've made from them is credit, but I didn't have any problems with my purchase.

Re: Random: Student's Nintendo Direct "Joke" Leads To Increased Campus Security
@Savage_Joe Yeah, if they had it so that it showed what the person was replying to, but only if you clicked something first, that'd be good.

@saanaito I know, I wasn't being overly serious.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 4th)
@Hayter Glad to hear you broke out of your slump.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 4th)
Once again the poll did not appear for me and once again I will be playing XC3, yesterday I took down Jingoistic Gigantus so that's a win in my book.
Re: Feature: Video Game Music That Didn't Need To Go That Hard
DanganVegas from the OST of Danganronpa V3, a pretty cool remix of the main theme for an area you can totally ignore.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 21st)
Second week in a row the poll hasn't appeared for me.
Probably playing Xenoblade 3 and Apollo Justice (God, I hate the perceive mechanic.)
Re: Quiz: Do You Know The Meaning Behind These Pokémon Names?
14 out of ten for me, although I'm not a huge fan of Pokémon and lost interest in the series between UM/US and Sword and Shield.
Re: Review: Persona 4 Golden - A Must-Buy Classic That's Stood The Test Of Time
@Fizza I'm just saying there's one scene in particular that I'm surprised is not more controversial that just gets my goat up.
Re: Review: Persona 3 Portable - A Fine Series Entry, Though One That's Tough To Return To
@Rika_Yoshitake How don't they make sense?

@gcunit Man, I love comments like these. Keep it up.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 14th)
I, like many others will be finishing chapter 5 of Xenoblade Chronicles 3, possibly also some multiplayer with my siblings.
Re: Persona On Switch - All Games, Where To Start, Beginner's Guide, FAQs
@LikelySatan I think so, from the audio menu but I am going on PC port of Golden which I haven't played for a while.
Re: Nintendo Provides A Look At Switch's Games Line-Up For 2023
Why does it seem like some people think this reveals the entire line-up for this year? Do they have no idea how business works?
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Metroid Prime Hunters
Voted for NA/Europe because it's just more interesting to look at and actually shows the titular hunters instead of just the title in the background in the ugliest looking way possible.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 7th)

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko It's got an anime which has a western release and also a Japan only live action adaptation.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 31st)
@Vyacheslav333 Wait what, from all your comments I assumed you were like some kind of master at them. Anyway, thanks.

4. Xenoblade Chronicles X.
5. Metroid Prime Trilogy

Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Gets Official ESRB Rating
@Chalkfire Eh, it's been done before. Twilight Princess was rated T.

Just kidding about your typo calling the Japanese dub a dumb instead.

Re: Atlus Shares More Details On Persona 3 And Persona 4 For Switch

@Fizza @Scooby-Doo Nah, I'm pretty sure the music player does have every single track.
Re: Atlus Shares More Details On Persona 3 And Persona 4 For Switch
@Vyacheslav333 Well, the Steam version of Golden did have dual audio, so these probably will as well.

Re: It's Official, The Roguelike Hit Hades Is Getting A Sequel
@Fizza What do you mean about Pokémon and Splatoon? Side note, what's your profile picture at the moment? (I've been wondering that for a while.)
