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.

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.

Finishing Mario Wonder. Maybe starting a replay of Link Between Worlds. Lately I've been missing this charming game.

Cozy and fun game. It runs okay-ish on PS5. Definitely could use some more optimizing, but the dev seems to be satisfied... Curious to see the downgrades needed to make this game run on Switch. I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised, but not counting on it.

Mario Wonder. I'm in world 6 I think(?) Deep Magma something. A couple of stages every day. That's it... I don't understand how people list not just 2 or maybe 3 games, but up to a dozen. I just have to ask; How do you keep track of it all? How do you even have the time to play that much?

I like the Contra/Probotector artwork the best I guess.

@tektite_captain
Super Mario Land is pretty sweet indeed! So much nostalgia. Especially with it's soundtrack.

Too little time to play. Working mostly. I'm listening a lot to game soundtracks though. Right now Valheim and Horizon Zero Dawn.

This game looks absolutely stunning. But I'm not good at fast paced and/or very precise gameplay.

Mario Wonder. Playing this on a HUGE tv is truly a treat.

I've been working. But I've been able to clear a couple of stages in Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair. This game is so much more fun than the first one.

Nier Replicant I'm about 4 hours in. The combat is fun and the overworld looks kind of nice. But the dialogs are so long winded and the voice acting is a bit annoying. I'm really into the soundtrack though.

So it's FINALLY coming to Switch... It's a very niche game, but I love it. Played it on PS3

Nintendo is seemingly not reinventing the wheel here. If the new Switch is only a hardware upgrade with a couple of features tacked on, then they should just go with Nintendo Switch 2.

Easy! All Zelda games. Let me forget them right now and start all over. If only that was possible. Also the Bioshock games and Horizon Zero Dawn

1080° Snowboarding. Man...what a blast from the past! So many good memories of this game and Wave Race 64.

Dotemu has already done an excellent job with Streets of Rage 4. Sega shouldn't "hurt themselves" by trying to top that. A new Golden Axe game could be fun though. But again, I would like Dotemu to make it.

You can't skip to the good parts in a live stream, so no need to stay up for it. I'll watch in the morning. By that time the 4K trailers will have been published.

There aren't many Microsoft exclusive games that interest me. If MS Game Pass were to come to Switch, I would maybe sign up and occasionally activate my subscription for one month in order to play specific games. The same way I use my Netflix account.

" No way! I never liked this series and don't want to see it spoil my precious Switch library"

That's putting it a bit extreme, isn't it?
How about; "I'm not interested in this series" ?

This is so random...Why program in this difference and not tell it to gamers?

Yeah Nintendo. Gamers want Galaxy 2 and you know it! What's the holdup?

I only played demo's on Switch and PS5. And trying out smaller games that are included in PS+ Premium.

Playing nothing. Feeling a bit lethargic. Recovering from a knee operation, so not working this week and the next. And that's what's doing me in. I need to work/feel useful in order to justify my free time and to enjoy it.

I'll pass mine to my daughter. I already promised her. She'll only play Animal Crossing on it

@GreenNinja500
If the thumb sticks feel like the ones on Sony's DS5, then we have a winner. In my opinion, they feel too loose on the Nintendo pro controller.

Very tempting... like with many of their controllers...

@MarioLinkSamus
Know that this year is awesome because so many game development projects got delayed due to Covid and they're only now releasing. I don't think that next year and onwards will be that great. For all the great games that were a released this year, the same amount of stinkers exist. LegacykillaHD on Youtube explains it well. Copy/paste 4RlhcTjxCPw in the search bar. It's the first result.

The original SMB3 has my heart because of the memories it created. I played this version so much with my childhood friend.

Playing nothing. Just walking, sleeping and vibing to good music. Being completely alone is so wonderful and sometimes necessary. Like now.

Playing nothing. Anyone else has (had) the feeling of really wanting to play a game, but eventually not feeling up to it? That's where I'm at. Wishing you all a nice weekend nonetheless.
