The screenshots don't do justice to the art style. Watch the trailer instead. Pretty unique. I'll wait for the reviews/commentaries, but I'm interested.

Before the release of Prime Remastered, the rumor was that the whole trilogy would be re-released, but that only the first game would be remastered, not the second and third. A while back I read that Prime remastered didn't sell gangbusters, but still reasonably well. Maybe enough for Nintendo to consider holding of on the regular Prime 2 and 3 re-releases, in order to remaster them anyway? If they did, it would give them a little bit more time to perfect Prime 4. Just some spitballing here.

@Olrun
Glad to see/hear that you put your family first. The "game" of real life is much more rewarding.

Horizon: Zero Dawn Remastered For the fourth time. LOL. I love this game to bits. It puts me in a happy place. Story, gameplay and music are just awesome.

But I've bought several indies on Switch too. I'll give them a whirl.

Everybody assumed backwards compatibility but the confirmation is reassuring. My Switch is slowly dying but I think it can hold on until the Switch 2 comes out. So I don't have to replace my current Switch. That's nice!

Played nothing. Been traveling. Finally home. I think I'll start Luigi's Mansion 2 once I'm well rested.

Playing nothing. In the middle of packing my suitcase to leave town for a couple of weeks. And I can't take my Switch with me due to a battery/power delivery malfunction I'll have it fixed, but not now. I'll take my 3DS with me but I now regret not having bought more games before the closure of the 3DS eShop.

@Synthatron_Prime
Current games do NOT automatically run better on newer hardware. If they do, then they've been patched. And there is abundant evidence for that. Same will be so for the next Switch.

If it were possible for you to "forget" the echoes that you hardly, or never use.

@NinChocolate
Current games will not automatically run better on the next Switch. They will have to be patched. I think Nintendo will do that for some their games, but I'm not sure that most other devs and publishers will.

Zelda EoW. Fun game, but not fantastic. Still don't like the blurry vignette effect around the edges. And the low framerate in the overworld is jarring.

Finally!! Really exciting! But it looks like Raziel and Kain's voices are different... Wonder if Moebius' will be too.

Replaying AC: Origins. Seven years on, this game is still amazing.

Stingy!!! Considering the install base, repair support for another couple of years would have been more than reasonable. But then again, they've ended 3DS e-shop support/sales too. Nintendo is so weird...

@Vyacheslav333
Please explain (?)

Astrobot, The Lucky Squire and Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. That's a lot of good games for one month!

@Eel
If the money and effort is worth it to you, then I'm happy for you. I'll probably end up pirating it somehow, someway.

@N8tiveT3ch
I see your point. I would call them thematic soundscapes. And I love listening and chilling out to them.

@Summer235
I totally agree. Streaming music would NOT hurt Nintendo financially. The contrary! It would help them in marketing and to further consolidate their fan base. And most Nintendo fans would not mind paying reasonable amounts for it. But Nintendo is being weird about it, as per usual.

@Scarmucci
Through scalpers no doubt. Insane!

@Eel
I've lived through the 90's and early 2000's and know how to rip cd's. It's just that I don't want to anymore. Why would I go through the hassle of buying a cd/dvd drive (for single use only) and this overly expensive collector edition OST in order to rip the music and never to use cd's again? Yeah, sure, resell value, but again a hassle. I just want to buy the music, not the hassle.

I've gone fully digital over 10 years ago. There is no device in my house that can play back CDs. So if I want to listen to this collection, I would have to pirate it (?) Thanks Nintendo... Just stop being so annoying and let my buy a digital copy instead.

If this is real, that would be totally awesome! Day one purchase for me.

@Snatcher
The exact same for me! About three quarters of the way through the game, but it's been about 4 years or so... To be honest, the story isn't that amazing, except for the folklore and cultural details. There is just way to much useless dialog! But I do want to finish it too. I'll probably start a new game, just to get the full experience. Because, let's be honest, this game is beautiful, is a joy to play and is an absolute trip. I'd love a sequel or even a remake of Okamiden in the style of Okami.

This looks like a really relaxing game. But unlike the usual "cozy" monikered games. Also glad that there will be a demo. Nice!!

@Ursaking
Haven't played yet. Your opinion seems very open and honest. Thank you.

"Naturally, it does look a lot nicer on other consoles"

This shouldn't be taken into consideration for a final note, but I'm glad that it's being recognized at least.

@martynstuff
You are right. There was an hour (or so) delay. I'm relieved

Just forked over 99 Euros, got my vouchers but only got the standard amount of points !?!?! :S

By far most gamers think that Nintendo's pricing for remasters isn't "fair". But Nintendo knows that we are willing to fork out the cash anyway... As for me, I'll wait for DKC Returns and Luigi's Mansion 2 to go on offer in one of those very occasional Nintendo "ever green IP" 30% off sales. So in at least a year from now.

@Arawn93
I'm not missing the point, I'm making one. And you're missing mine.

@DTfearTheBEARD

Why? Even 256GB SD cards are dirt cheap nowadays. They literally cost less then one indie game on sale.

Why can't NL post this graphic themselves? It shouldn't be necessary to click on an X link.

Keighley will never loose his cringe. Even his inexperienced hosts/presenters fare better than him.

The show itself was the usual diatribe of vomit inducing, high-octane, mostly CGI trailers. The excessive amount of noise and flashy imagery gave me a litteral headache.

I really don't understand who this show caters too anymore. Gamers are NOT being informed and increasingly being annoyed and alienated. It's mostly about he publishers and sponsors now.

And the streaming quality on YT was appalling!!! I watched it in true (according to the "nerd stats") 2160p on my 65 inch TV, but it looked more like up-ressed 720p. Why even bother watching the live show? Just watch it afterwards and quickly skip to the more interesting parts. The trailers of interest will be online in high quality only a few minutes later.

In short, the "SGF '24 presentation was just another disaster. Just quit it Keighley...please (?)

Cease-and-desist notice incoming. The dev probably only made this for his resume. He is right. Stirring up some controversy in order to get noticed. And not just by Nintendo. He seems very talented and I wish him the best.

Working double shifts today and tomorrow, so little time to play. Dredge is free on PSN. I'll give that game a quick try.

@sanderev
Agreed. But Lego has always been expensive. My parents weren't able to afford the biggest kits for my birthdays, 35-40 years ago.

I normally don't like turn-based games, but Sea of Stars was the first game of this type that I actually liked. I've hesitated a long time but I think that I'll probably like Paper Mario TTYD too. Going out to buy it right now.

Working two 12 hour shifts.... But luckily, Super Mario Land is very short. Really happy to be able to play this game again.

TotK didn't give me that same sense of wonder as BotW did. TotK introduced lots of new features and a modest amount of improvements, but it feels more like a huge BotW expansion than a completely new game.

Finishing up Jusant and maybe starting Cocoon.

Little time. Working a lot. I'll play Wave Race 64 when I get home. My go-to game to unwind.

Don't really care. I only play docked with the pro controller.

@Divide_and_Wander
I'm likely older than you, since my daughters have become young adults. But I fondly remember introducing them to my passion for gaming and my favorite retro games. I wish you two so much fun and personal bonding.

Playing Jusant on PS5. Yes, only one game...

@Serpenterror
Lol. Fallout fans could NOT disagree with you more. FO76 is pretty much discarded and ignored by most people, but FO3 and NV are absolute classics and very much loved.

Never mind... Read your profile

With Microsoft Gaming (division) apparently being strapped for cash at the moment, releasing older titles like FO3 and NV on Switch would seem like a very good idea.

For me personally, I prefer these types of games on PC. For mods and K+M support.

I've been playing demo's. Pepper Grinder, Dave the Diver, Europa and Fallen Leaf. The last mentioned one was the most fun and I can't wait for that game to get a Switch release.

Really a stunning game. I had it on the Wii but didn't finish it. Jumping is done by pressing up on the d-pad. And impossible to remap. Annoying!

Bring out the modding kits.
