@Grumpalo I'm really glad you pointed that out. I was reading all of this thinking "screw these devs, this is extreme lack of respect toward the player!" But if there's a clue, then nevermind. Good one, carry on.
Its me, I'm the one guy who hasn't played Hollow Knight. I'd also not even paid any attention to the name Silksong until a couple of weeks ago (my overhead rock must be huge). But all y'all's hype is contagious, I'll likely be checking this (and the Knight) out soon enough.
My interest in MMOs on the PC was wanning about the time this one really took off. I wouldn't mind giving it a go, maybe a Switch 2 version would convince me.
Are you suggesting there is currently no other way to play these? Or that in 30 years they will need to be released again on whatever is the current platform to be considered "preserved"?
I dont like buying digitally, but a bunch of thr Lego games are on deeeeep discount on the eshop right now, so I picked up a few that I didn't have. Gonna try to get going on Marvel Superheroes 2 this weekend.
"For those old enough, Ninja Gaiden was once a formidable 8-Bit challenge that either destroyed a child’s willpower or forged them eternal gaming mastery."
As a boy, I was firmly in the former camp. Ninja Gaiden destroyed me to the point that I hated even the mention of it for years.
Want? Indiana Jones on S2 would be great!
Still desiring Ogre Battle remakes.
Hopefully Square has some cool stuff in store.
More beat 'em ups would thrill me.
I'm not totally "in the know" when it comes to this dev house and the stuff behind the scenes alluded to in the review, but surely the devs themselves deserve some of the blame themselves for this mess? The reviewer seems to want to pile on everybody but the actual programmers.
While I am still very much excited for this release, acquiring MvC showed me that I'm not as good at fighters as I (thought I) was 30 years ago. Still, very fond memories of UMK3.

Re: Borderlands 4 Has Been Delayed For Switch 2, Digital Pre-Orders Cancelled
I'm not surprised. Nor will I be surprised if it gets canned.
Re: 'Rogue 'Em Up' Absolum's New Gameplay Trailer Is Packed With Fighting, Fantasy And Frogs
Highly looking forward to this one.

Missed an opportunity to have that video be a rick-roll.
Re: Nintendo Is "Acting To Protect The Industry" With Switch 2 Game Key Cards, Says Ex-Capcom Composer
@DonkeyKongBigBoy
Why not? Especially if the game is good. I still break out the GBA games from time to time, and my SNES calls to me as well.
Re: Nintendo Is "Acting To Protect The Industry" With Switch 2 Game Key Cards, Says Ex-Capcom Composer
Nothing logical about his statement.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 For Switch?
"I'm not sure about the price" should be "Not at that price"
Re: Nintendo Releasing Physical 'Talking Flower' From Mario Wonder Next Spring
I think its neat. Don't really see myself buying one, but maybe. Be cooler if it had amiibo functionality.
Re: Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Finally Gets Switch 1 & 2 Release Date
Insta-preorder.
Re: Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Charges Onto Switch 2 In 2026

No Toon Link trilogy on the Switch, no cares.

"Most impressive!"
Re: Puzzle Quest: Immortal Edition Brings Match-3 RPG Fun To Switch This Month
@Blast16
While I can't recommend a Switch match 3, I will say I've been playing Marvel Puzzle Quest on my phone since it launched.
Not sure how hard it would be to start it now and "catch up", but its quite fun.
Re: First Impressions: Same But Different? - Our Initial Hours With Hollow Knight: Silksong
Its me, I'm the one guy who hasn't played Hollow Knight. I'd also not even paid any attention to the name Silksong until a couple of weeks ago (my overhead rock must be huge). But all y'all's hype is contagious, I'll likely be checking this (and the Knight) out soon enough.
Re: Review: Star Wars Outlaws (Switch 2) - An Underrated Adventure, A Super-Solid Port
@PJOReilly
So long as I dont have to suffer through The Last Jedi again I'm golden.
Re: Review: Star Wars Outlaws (Switch 2) - An Underrated Adventure, A Super-Solid Port
@PopularCorpse
You assume they're the same people. I, for one, stopped gaming on PC because of Steam.
Re: Review: Star Wars Outlaws (Switch 2) - An Underrated Adventure, A Super-Solid Port
How's the soundtrack? Every piece of SW entertainment will be judged (by me) based on the score.
Re: Round Up: Pour One Out For These 6 Brave Games Launching On 'Silksong Day'
They couldn't wait one day for everyone to move on?!
Re: Video: We've Played Star Wars Outlaws On Switch 2 - Here's 16 Minutes Of Gameplay
So we're saying the other guy's take that the last article was based on was click/rage bait?
Good to know.
Re: Final Fantasy Tactics' Devs Had To Lean On Fans To Recover Original Source Code
These lack-of-forward-thought stories amaze me.
Re: Strong Final Fantasy Tactics Sales May Lead To More Remasters And Sequels
I've always been a big Square fan, so ok, bring 'em on! This will be my third copy of FFT.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Harvest Moon (SNES)
Based on the art, I'm pretty sure the Euro version has zombies.
Re: Opinion: No One Told Me 'Chibi-Robo' Is Traumatising
I had no idea this game was so dark!
Re: Video: Uh Oh, Elden Ring On Switch 2 Has Issues In Handheld Mode
@Haruki_NLI
I do like Fench toast...
Re: Final Fantasy 14 Director Has Had "Positive Discussions" With Nintendo On Switch 2 Port
My interest in MMOs on the PC was wanning about the time this one really took off. I wouldn't mind giving it a go, maybe a Switch 2 version would convince me.
Re: Two Of The Worst Mortal Kombat Games To Be Included In Legacy Kollection
"but every single game deserves to be preserved"
Are you suggesting there is currently no other way to play these? Or that in 30 years they will need to be released again on whatever is the current platform to be considered "preserved"?
Re: Nightdive's Latest Remaster Is A Rip-Roaring Wild West Cult Classic
I honestly have no rememberence of this game. But it looks cool!
Re: Round Up: Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025 - Every Switch 1 & 2 Announcement & Trailer
Some really good announcements. I'm pretty excited by several of these reveals.
Re: Stylish Beat 'Em Up Roguelike 'Absolum' Magics Up Switch Release Date
That looks amazing! How did I not know I needed a beat 'em up where I can be a frog wizard?

Seems like a Mashup of every Batman movie. I hope its good, I do love the Lego games.
Re: Indiana Jones And The Great Circle Will Launch On Switch 2 In 2026
This game will be why I purchase a Switch 2.

Indiana Jones and Marvel Tokon are my biggest wants here.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (16th August)
I dont like buying digitally, but a bunch of thr Lego games are on deeeeep discount on the eshop right now, so I picked up a few that I didn't have. Gonna try to get going on Marvel Superheroes 2 this weekend.
Re: Capcom Is Holding A 90-Minute Panel At New York Comic-Con In October
That's a pretty sweet timeslot on the main stage, no less, at a major con for them to unveil "nothing new".
I think maybe I'll put forth a little hope.
Re: Review: Heretic + Hexen (Switch) - Two FPS Cult Classics Masterfully Revamped
Alright, Nightdive, Dark Forces 2, if you please.
Re: McDonald's Japan Pulls Happy Meal Pokémon Cards Early, And Fans Blame Scalpers
Scalping is one thing, but wasting food for cardboard is atrocious! At least give the food to people who need it.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!
I'm looking at that Japanese cover thinking "I love the cleanness of this cover!"
I voted NA/E. The Japanese one doesn't really reflect the game itself.
Re: 'Mina The Hollower', Yacht Club's Retro Zelda-Inspired Adventure, Scores Switch Release Date
I'm pretty excited for this one.
Re: Review: Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound (Switch) - A Gorgeous & Gory Return To The Series' 2D Roots
"For those old enough, Ninja Gaiden was once a formidable 8-Bit challenge that either destroyed a child’s willpower or forged them eternal gaming mastery."
As a boy, I was firmly in the former camp. Ninja Gaiden destroyed me to the point that I hated even the mention of it for years.
Re: Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Gets Proper Physical Release On Switch 2
I like the uniqueness of that C...I mean KE. Probably won't pick it up, but its a nice edition.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Partner Direct Predictions - What Do You Expect To See?
Expect? Not much, honestly.
Want? Indiana Jones on S2 would be great!
Still desiring Ogre Battle remakes.
Hopefully Square has some cool stuff in store.
More beat 'em ups would thrill me.
Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase Announced For Tomorrow, 31st July 2025
I'm glad to see it is a "1 & 2" showcase.
(Still waiting on those Ogre Battle remakes...)

Re: Whoops, It Looks Like Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection's Release Date Has Leaked Early
While I am still very much excited for this release, acquiring MvC showed me that I'm not as good at fighters as I (thought I) was 30 years ago.
Still, very fond memories of UMK3.
