Contrarily, the visual design is about the only thing I do like so far. If it were more life-sim and less cooking-sim, I think it could be perfect (I get it, the hobbits are about food). Perhaps it will do well enough that we can get an underground Dwarf life-sim
I can see a June launch, as a matter a fact, I've been expecting it. I can't however, under any circumstance, believe there will be NO 3rd party support at launch. That's ludicrous.
My patience and lack of tolerance for Square's shenanigans regarding the physical release of the Switch Pixel Remasters paid off and I scored a physical copy for 55$. There's nothing there I don't have on one or more systems, but having all 6 in one place is nice. Considering moving them to next in my queue for a replay.
@DwaynesGames I agree, but at the time, Lucasfilm wasn't really doing much with Star Wars. Certainly not as much as they could have. It probably hadn't made 6B$ in the previous 4 years, or even previous 15 years.
I (quite litterally, like 10 minutes ago) just put Tears of the Kingdom away because I just couldn't get into it. However, I adored Breath of the Wild and spent hours upon hours farming it's secrets.
I suppose if I were to have only one Switch game, Breath of the Wild would be it.

That's the thing, what happened in the 30-60 seconds prior to this video that led to the video? Obviously the dude in the Eagles garb was being a pri** here, but what happened before that? He was obviously signaling to someone that something happened before he got all crazy.
My copy is supposed to deliver Monday. As I've already played through the PS1 versions, I'll probably only boot these up to give them a glance and then shelve them until a more opportune time to fully enjoy them.
I think maybe they ran into a production issue is why the reveal, then 3 months to anything substantial, then probably 2 or 3 more months to release. I think maybe when they said it would be reveled by the end of the quarter, they though they could go retail shortly after. A lot can happen in 9 months.
The Working Designs PS1 collector's editions have long been a highlight of my collection. Glad to see the re-re-release for those who've never played them.
I like how each leans heavily into the regional art styles of the period. For me, this one comes down to format. The Japanese one is cleaner and bolder due to the use of the space. The American one loses due to the crampedness of the art.

Re: Final Fantasy 9 Remake Hopes Rise As Square Enix Teases Anniversary Projects
IX is one of my favorites from the mainline series. I only hope that if they do something, they don't screw it up.
Re: Marvel Gets The Shredder's Revenge Treatment In Upcoming Beat 'Em Up 'Cosmic Invasion'
Looks great! If you haven't already, I recommend reading the Annihilation comics. Very good reads!
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct Predictions - What Do You Want To See?
Ogre battle, Ogre Battle 64, Knight of Lodis, Prince of Zenobia.
Wind Waker, Spirit Tracks, Phantom Hourglass.
Not asking for much.
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed For Tomorrow, 27th March 2025
As per usual, I hope to see Ogre Battle (any and all) remakes, Wind Waker trilogy remaster and perhaps some Castlevania 64 love.
Longshots, I know.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Switch 2 To Launch In June With 3-Phase Software Plan

Me neither, I honestly thought this was a parody piece. /shrug
Re: It's Official, LEGO Pokémon Sets Are Finally Coming Our Way Next Year
The Bluey sets that I was excited about didn't turn out well, so hopefully these turn out good for those interested.
Re: Star Wars: Hunters Servers To Close Later This Year
Completely forgot this existed. Not a big loss to the gaming community as a whole, I think.

I don't know about the "grail" status of this item. But I bet 28k is rather low.

Re: Chrono Trigger To Celebrate 30th Anniversary With "Various Projects"
Gonna go against the grain and say that this was one of thoes games that I played and just didn't get the hype. Love the art though!

Re: Warner Bros. Closes Three Studios Including Team Behind Smash-Like Brawler 'MultiVersus'
@SoIDecidedTo
The "acquisition kicks" are what put all of these companies in the position they are in.
Nintendo is smarter than that.
Re: Nintendo Highlights Four Brand New Games "Coming Soon" To Switch
My Suikoden order is set to arrive the 10th. I'm pretty excited to play both again.
Re: Tales Of The Shire, The Cosy LOTR Game, Has Been Delayed Again
Got to get the cozy level juuuust right.

They have money.
Games make money.
They thought it would be a good investment.
They were wrong.
Re: Random: Final Fantasy Is The Next Magic: The Gathering Crossover, Here's A First Look
@StewdaMegaManNerd
While there is MtG Arena for digital, Magic exists mainly as a physical card game.
Re: Random: Final Fantasy Is The Next Magic: The Gathering Crossover, Here's A First Look
I got back into MtG with the LotR set. Been pretty excited for this one since it was first announced.
Re: We're Getting Some Strong 'Inside' Vibes From Konami's Upcoming Octopus Platformer
That's one kute kraken. But is he really damp, or just moist?
Re: Retailer GAME Accused Of "Scalping" Pokémon Cards Thanks To Insane Delivery Fees
Devil's advocate: could it not be a "deliberate decision" to fight online bots and drive store traffic?
Re: Lunar Remastered Collection Physical Release Will Not Be Up For Pre-Order (North America)
I find that...interesting. I can't think of a single reason to not allow pre-orders of a non-limited item.
Re: Rocksteady Reportedly Working On A New Batman After Suicide Squad Disaster
I'm always down for a new Batman game, but I don't think I can stomach any more of WB's out-of-touch hubris.
Re: Poll: Is It Finally Time For Castlevania To Rise Again?
Yup, been time for a while.
Re: Nintendo Taking "All Possible Measures" To Combat Switch 2 Scalpers
I, too, am combating scalpers by not buying one at launch.
Re: Review: The Stone Of Madness (Switch) - An Ambitious But Unpolished Stealth-Tactics Gem
The premise sounds delightfully bizzare, but the execution seems to be a bit of a miss. Still, I may have to give this one a try.

This is probably where I am, waiting for the first Zelda skinned console.

I don't know about anybody else, but it sure has me excited. One of my all-time favorites!
Re: New Star Wars 'Prequel Pack' Launching Alongside Jedi Power Battles This Week
Just give us a Dark Forces 2 remaster already!
And the Rogue Squadron games!
Oh, ya, and Shadows of the Empire while you're at it!
Not too much to ask, methinks.
Re: Talking Point: Did All The Switch 2 Leaks 'Damage' Nintendo Or The Console's Reveal?
I don't think they caused any damage. If anything, they helped temper expectations.
Re: Reaction: Nintendo Pins Hopes On Familiar Fun With Switch 2
I think maybe they ran into a production issue is why the reveal, then 3 months to anything substantial, then probably 2 or 3 more months to release. I think maybe when they said it would be reveled by the end of the quarter, they though they could go retail shortly after. A lot can happen in 9 months.
Re: Poll: So, What Did You Think Of The Switch 2 Reveal?
@LEGENDARY_DRAGON bombastic.
Should have gone with "Super Switch".
Re: Poll: So, What Did You Think Of The Switch 2 Reveal?
Good, but needed more bombast.
Re: Switch 2 Will Be Backwards Compatible With Physical And Digital Games, With Some Exceptions
@AlienigenX
This. And a bigger, more powerful Switch. So looks like win-win.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Trailer Gives First Official Look At The New Console
There it is! But 3 more months to the Direct?!
Re: Lunar Remastered Collection Brings Classic JRPG Series To Switch This April
The Working Designs PS1 collector's editions have long been a highlight of my collection. Glad to see the re-re-release for those who've never played them.
Re: Round Up: 'Switch 2' Renders Suggest A Sleek, Classy Successor
Slow news....week. Keep 'em coming...I guess.
Re: Talking Point: Is The Switch 2 Going To Be Too Big?
I don't think it's too big, but I'm a daily user of a 10" tablet. I like my Lite, but it's really too small.
Re: Talking Point: Everyone Else Is Busy Revealing Switch 2 - What Gives, Nintendo?
I fully expect to wake up one morning to: oh, ya, while you were asleep, the Switch 2 was revealed in Japan. /shrug
Re: Yes, We're Getting A Brand New Guitar Hero Controller For Wii In 2025

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Crash Nitro Kart (GameCube)
NA.
That was such a weird period for CGI.
Re: Sonic's Live-Action Movies Have Apparently Surpassed $1 Billion At The Box Office
Meanwhile, Sony has announced that the Playstation 2 movie has made "more than that".
Re: PSA: Switch 2 Is Getting Revealed In The Next 100 Days
As for the poll, "December" could be a viable option. There is still a week between Christmas and the new year.
My vote? January.

Honestly? I'd call them even.
