All 3 are terrible.

FM3 is still one of my all-time favorite srpgs.
Do it right!

I'm headed down to Florida for a vacation in the fall. I may have to add this to my list of visits.

As a potato farmer, I'm rather partial to Po-Tay-Toes Entertainment.

@EarthboundBenjy

I've always gone with VeeVee.

@RupeeClock
Ya, came across my regular news feed about the same time.

Seems like a sign...

I'm a real fan.

I'll find a way...

...to save money.

Ummm, is that a Switch keyboard and 10-key?

Good. Now they can focus on giving us Ultimate MK3 on Switch.

Actually, a remastered 1-3 release would be quite swell.

I get that this is basically PR hype, but it's PR hype that's working! I need to get better at twin-stick shooting, because I'm pretty excited for BL4 now.

Not every iteration needs to innovate. Some times, "more of the same, but better" is best.

Not really, I've always been a "wait 'til the price drops" kinda guy. Very few games (or anything for that matter) warrant me paying full price.

That Japan cover is phoned in...and it still got votes.

Not to be overly insensitive, but it's as though nothing lasts forever.

Sad, really.

Some pretty neat swag right there! I approve!

Meh, that's fine, now announce a Dark Forces 2 Remaster. And the Rogue games. Oh ya, and Shadows of the Empire.

Looking forward to seeing where Fire Emblem and Zelda go with Switch 2.

Nothing against the NA version (of which, a copy graces my vg shelf), but I like the framing of the Japanese one a little better.

I....forgot it even existed.

Maybe I'll...what were we talking about again?

I still have all of my old consoles dating back to the Atari 7800 ( I think my brother ended up with "our" 2600).

I'm not a trade-in kinda person.

The only barrier to these records is availability.

Sony, MS, Nintendo, any could easily have a record launch if they stockpile enough product first. But, of course, there are limits to the feasibility of that also.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that yet another console will launch without being able to satisfy demand.

/s (if you aren't sure)

Why can't people appreciate both?

Oh ya....people.

I enjoyed D3 on my Switch waaaay more than I did on my PC. But I had piss-poor internet when D3 launched with its always-connected BS. Things are better in that department these days.

@ROOCIS Thus the "post" part of the comment.

Hopefully we'll see the older, post Black Flag games as well.

Good news for the early adopters. I'm gonna wait a while before I jump on it.

That is some fantastic swag!

/swoon

Wii and DS and Switch aside, that really hasn't been Nintendo's core identity though, has it? Nes, Snes, N64, GameCube. GB, GBC, GBA. DS, 3ds, 2ds.

Evolution (Building on popularity until popularity fades) is more "Nintendo" than revolution is.

Cautiously optimistic.

Lunar SSS was a favorite of mine. I kinda recall not being as impressed with Blue, but I really don't remember (so maybe I indeed was not).

I planned on skipping this release as the ps1 Working Designs collector's editions are still a highlight of my collection, but I may grab it anyway. Nostalgia is a cruel mistress.

I don't like how the kids are overlaid onto a background for the Japanese art. It's very jarring to look at for me.

I love collector's editions. I even like the quirkier ones. This is dumb. Cassettes?! Really?!? Some serious hipster bait in this one.

It's not exactly "Pokémon with knives" now is it.

One of my biggest wants is Wind Waker (and it's kin, Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass) for my Switch or Switch 2.

I did NOT remember the WiiU having that stacked of a launch!

Let them eat cake...?

I remember obsessing over console specs back in the N64/Dreamcast/PS2 days, but now I just care about cool games running smoothly.

This is one that I skipped over during my jrpg collection days. Not sure why, I was buying everything I could in those days.

Honestly, this review didn't really do much to convince me to go ahead and pick it up.

Those are pretty great!

They're testing the water. How hot can we frogs take it before we jump out.

Yes, absolutely I do. I was more than a little disappointed that it was coming to their subscription service instead.

I'll still hold to what hope I can that it will get a "real" release.

Honestly, part of why I shun (for the most part) digital entertainment is that it isn't cheaper, generally, than physical media when it should be considerably cheaper. Profit margins are way higher on digitally delivered goods than physical items.

And with the current push to "not own" these entertainment items, I want to have complete control of my library.

This is very interesting to me. I assumed the Switch would just be beefier hardware, but really the same "tech". To hear it's completely different is wild to me. Hopefully this "hybrid emulation" approach pans out. I was looking forward to some games running better simply due to more advanced versions of what the OG Switch already had, similar to upgrading a PC.

I honestly don't care what the "asking price" is, or whether someone other than me is willing to pay it. It's a very rare occasion for me to pay "full price" for any game. Almost all games are cheaper later.

He was our Huckleberry. 😞

I'm sure I'll pass on this one just like I have every other Xbox. Microsoft is still the evil empire and doesn't need my money.

@Coversnail My grandkids play Smash all the time like that when they bring it over, rather than bringing the dock and all.

@Skunkfish
At the time, I felt like the Switch was gimmicky and an unknown quantity. The wii U and 3ds had failed to impress, so I was only vaguely interested in what Nintendo would do next to bury themselves.

Now I know better.

I think I'm more hyped for this launch than any console since the Dreamcast.
