It reminds me of pre-rendered graphics in the 90's, which is its own kind of aesthetic. It could be better. If the gameplay is there, I'm in. Zwei is one of my favorite games but it is niche, so I feel lucky we're even getting this.
I need to know the account migration process first. If I can seamlessly transfer my data from my old Switch, then I don't see a major reason to keep it. My kid has his own Switch Lite, that's enough.
Really wondering about the performance on Switch. Considering getting it on Steam but it would be nice to have it on Switch instead so it's easier for my son to get to.
I'm starting to prefer announcing games, like, a month ahead of release. Anticipating something for several years with no end in sight is kind of frustrating.
I've always been a little confused about what Dotemu does. Are they more of a developer or a publisher? A bit of both? Either way, I hope they continue to grow and put more energy behind interesting games. Patiently waiting for Wind Jammers 2 to drop.
Strangely one of my most anticipated games this year. I haven't been playing many of the Picross games on Switch specifically, and I'm a big Sega fan so... I'm all in.
Honestly I wish the Switch had two cartridge slots. I'm jealous.
This Evercade stuff is kind of impressive. It feels like something that should be vaporware but it actually exists and people are buying it. Good for them.

Re: Ekstase Is A Techno-Infused Tetris-Like That's Out On Switch Today
Out of all the indie Tetris-like games I've played on Steam this might be one of the better ones. Yeah, it's no Tetris Effect, but it's solid enough.

What a load of Croc.
Re: Platinum Really Wants To Show You Bayonetta 3, But It Can't
I'm starting to prefer announcing games, like, a month ahead of release. Anticipating something for several years with no end in sight is kind of frustrating.
Still have my hopes up for this, though.

Good. Spread the love. The concept… of love.
Re: The Devil May Cry-Like 'Ultra Age' Is Hacking And Slashing Its Way To Switch This Year
Mechanically it looks kind of fun. Visually it seems a bit generic.
Re: Streets Of Rage 4 Publisher Dotemu Has Been Acquired By Focus Home Interactive
I've always been a little confused about what Dotemu does. Are they more of a developer or a publisher? A bit of both? Either way, I hope they continue to grow and put more energy behind interesting games. Patiently waiting for Wind Jammers 2 to drop.
Re: Review: PICROSS S GENESIS & Master System Edition - Picross X SEGA Could Have Been More
Strangely one of my most anticipated games this year. I haven't been playing many of the Picross games on Switch specifically, and I'm a big Sega fan so... I'm all in.
Re: Random: We've Been Wrong About This Streets Of Rage Special Move For Almost 30 Years
"GRAB THE PAW! GRAB THE PAW!"
Re: Soapbox: Nintendo Switch Online's Library Is A Snapshot Of '90s Gaming Shelves
I saw someone describe Nintendo's selections as the "closeout bin at a Blockbuster" and it made me laugh.
I personally like their picks, though.

Re: Poll: What's The Best 2D Sonic Game?
Part 2 was quite a step up from Part 1. I don't hate Part 2, I'm just indifferent towards it.
Re: Nintendo To Give Forever Entertainment "Significant Financial Support" In New Publishing Deal

The fact that it has "dash" in the name but they removed basic dashing is... an interesting choice.
Re: Review: Sludge Life - A Crude, Delightfully Disposable First-Person Graffiti-'Em-Up
I like that this and Umurangi Generation are dropping in the same week. Let the post-Jet-Set-Radio vibes flow.
