@nessisonett I’ve been to Scotland. Once. I remember it much as one recalls a dream, or a nightmare...
I was on a budget flight to Norway when a storm hit and forced us to ditch in Glasgow Prestwick. I was stranded, and it’s so hilly up there you can’t get any signal on your carphone. It looked bad. It looked like I was going to have the spend the night in Glasgow.
The cabin crew suggested we all go out and “club it.” I had no option. It was that or one of their B&Bs. I figured it would be safer on the streets.
For the first time ever I saw the Scotch in their natural habitat, and it weren’t pretty. I’d seen them huddling on stations before, being loud, but this time I was surrounded. Everywhere I went it felt like they were watching me.
Fish-white flesh puckered by the Highland breeze; tight eyes peering out for fresh meat; screechy booze-soaked voices hollering out for a taxi to take them halfway up the road to the next all-night watering hole.
A shatter of glass; a round of applause; a sixteen-year old mother of three vomiting in an open sewer; bairns looking on chewing potato cakes.
It’s outrageous. $60 is the max they could have asked for at launch, and even then I would wait for a sale.
They’re ports of 10+ year old DS games which must have taken next to no effort to repackage for the Switch. Anyone who buys at this price has more money than sense.

I ain’t never going back. Not never.

I’m very much looking forward to this.

I’d like to know whether they’ll cover the Baten Kaitos two-pack.
Re: Soapbox: Fortnite On Switch Is Five Years Old, And I Have No Idea What It Is Anymore
Been years since I played it; might dip my toes in again out of curiosity to see how different it’s become.
Re: Atlus Accidentally Reveals Two New Persona Games
A decent remake of P3 really would be quite nice.
I’m lukewarm on the tactics game though.
Re: Turn-Based Wrestling RPG 'WrestleQuest' Pins Down August Release Date In New Trailer
It’s still real to me, damn it!
Re: 'Sky Oceans: Wings For Hire' Is A Skies Of Arcadia-Inspired JRPG Coming To Switch
I appreciate the effort, but it doesn't look great in that trailer...
A SoA remaster would be ideal instead.
Re: Time Between Switch's Announcement And Launch Was A "Special Case", Says Nintendo
@Cashews how many times has it been mentioned how easy it's been to have one system to develop games for rather than two, as has been the case prior?
Re: Surprise! The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan Is Now Available On Switch
Crappy twist as to what the big bad is. Not worth it.
Re: Zelda amiibo Are Getting Restocked On May 12th, Pre-Order Now (US)
I really wish too there was some simple game on Switch which was able to utilize all released amiibo to date. I’d certainly appreciate that!
Re: Zelda amiibo Are Getting Restocked On May 12th, Pre-Order Now (US)
Great—just pre-ordered the OoT one!

Re: Citizen Sleeper Is One Of 2022's Best Games, And Its Final Free DLC Launches This Month
Meh--it was OK. I doubt I'll play through again.

How is that there's no Switch footage of Crisis Core Reunion posted anywhere yet?
Re: Video: THQ Nordic Cooks Up A New Gameplay Trailer For AEW: Fight Forever
Cornette commentary DLC?
Re: Danganronpa Creator Hasn't Ruled Out Returning To The Series
It's hard to see how you'd do so considering the ending to the third game. I thought it was a fitting finale.
Re: Tag Heuer Reveals Two Mario Kart Watches, One Of Which Costs $25,600
At least they look infinitely better than that last garish piece of crap they produced

@Jeronan it's releasing in January

Just give us a Switch collection of the original games (or two, if you want to split them)

Re: 2D Multiplayer Game 'Killer Queen Black' To Shut Down Next Month
Loaded it up the other week and couldn't find a single person online to match with. Just had a couple of games with bots.
Re: Best Time Loop Games On Nintendo Switch
Raging Loop is far superior to Gnosia. The NL review for it is just embarrassing.
Re: Anniversary: Picross S Turns 5 - We Doff Our Caps To Switch's Most Dependable Puzzler
We need Picross 3D on the Switch
Re: The "Last Day" To Play The Original Overwatch Will Be Early Next Month
Spent a lot of time on Overwatch but I’ve essentially replaced it with Splatoon 3 now. I’ve no interest in Overwatch 2.
Re: Talking Point: What Did You Think Of The September 2022 Nintendo Direct?
Sh*t sandwich
Re: Tunic Is Confirmed For Switch, And It's Coming Very Soon
Besides Pikmin 4, the only thing of interest to me in the Direct.

Re: Backlog Club: Have You Seriously Not Played Portal Yet?
Fantastic game and not that taxing either. Everyone should play both.

Re: Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, The Successor To Suikoden, Confirmed For Switch
@Grumblevolcano seems unlikely given the Wii U debacle and millions not understanding that it was in fact a new console.
They've talked about this recently: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/05/nintendo-says-it-wants-to-avoid-a-repeat-of-wii-u-with-switchs-successor
Re: Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, The Successor To Suikoden, Confirmed For Switch
I loved Suikoden V on the PS2. So long as it runs well, I'll be picking up.

Re: Sega Plans To Leverage More Past IP With 'Remasters, Remakes, Reboots'
Persona 5 on Switch makes too much sense and would make too much money for it to ever happen.
