The prices listed worried me for a sec, I was thinking we were being gouged again purely for being Switch users, but then I realised it’s Canadian dollars listed first for each edition.
It’s the Metroidvania that noooooobody had on their bingo card, but looks interesting enough to be worth a punt. The Dec 31 date listed on vg•ca is probably a long ball as well; can’t see it being that far out if it’s being announced now.
@bobby_steurer You’ll get a lot more if you look at the YouTube channel Dungeons & Discourse - just try to put up with the clickbaity titles and dodgy attempts at ‘humour’…
@bobby_steurer If you’re going to play anything Hasbro, I’d say Dungeon Mayhem. Probably the last penny they got from me. It’s a non-collectible card game, though there are two expansions (Baldur’s Gate and Monster Madness) and a Marvel version.
Look up “Everything Is Content Dungeon Mayhem” on the ole YouTube there. Four of them Critical Role types play a few rounds - and they act it out as is their wont. Travis in particular is a scream.
@betterthanvegas @bobby_steurer On top of that, it was Wizards’ own screwup. They sent him that unreleased box by mistake after he’d ordered one that had been.
And even all this is before you look at the last two years of shenanigans they’ve been up to with D&D. The OGL scandal was the thin end of the wedge.
Might get this, I dunno. I completed Worlds 2004 on the GBA, but that was the last I played. Since then YGO, like all CCGs, has fallen victim to a raging case of galloping mechanicitis.
Same reason I last played Magic in 4th Ed (blue-white deck - ‘Orlando Magic’ 🏀), but even if I went back now (which I won’t - screw Hasbro/WotC, they’re toxic AF) I wouldn’t have a chance in hell of catching up.
@Maulbert This. Very this. I would love to see the Elite Force games make it over, they were great.
From the videos I’ve seen of Legends though, there’s not a whole lot of movement going on in each encounter, just picking who to attack going by initiative order. So it’s more a series of sawn-off Final Fantasy battles than Fire Emblem ones, with the odd decision gate here and there to tweak the storyline one way or t’other.
Doesn’t look like there’ll be much diving in this kinda, er, depth - but it’s a Qubic title, so it’d be rare gagh to reach the levels of an isolinea—[cough]—isometric Tactics-style Trek game. The thought of which does appeal, if anyone fancies doing it right…?
The ability to add external drives/NVMe M.2 SSDs/USB sticks/more µSD cards - to the dock. So that you can store stuff in the dock that you know you're not going to play on the move; not to mention shuttle stuff from the dock to the console as required.
@JSC016 Definitely this too. The amount of absolute scheiße in the eShop - shovelware, obvious ripoffs/IP breaches, 'hentai' games [especially those with the emphasis on hent*AI*] - is staggering. If they ain't gonna clean out the crap then at least let us filter and block stuff we don't want to see [us or our kids].
1: Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan*
2: Professor Layton and the Curious Village*
3: Space Invaders Extreme*
4: Jump Super Stars*
5: Eyeshield 21: Max Devil Power!
Limiting myself to one title per series to prevent them crowding out other stuff. Usually the first entry in each franchise as that’s what caught my eye and got the hooks in.
Ouendan gets in because of the banging songs, best in the series - especially Monkey Magic and Ready Steady Go. The inherent charm of Layton’s first go-round was not so much a breath as a full lungful of clean mountain air. Space Invaders Extreme did completely new stuff with the game, which I loved; and while I’m not a huge fan of all the various Jump series, the Stars titles shook up how the melee fighter worked - the use of panels In the lower screen was effectively my first roguelike.
And then there’s ES21 - a whole new perspective on football, quite literally. Got me into the manga & anime (which I didn’t even know existed before Jump Super Stars), and I produced an AMV which ended up winning an award.
I’ve seen 2-tera cards starting to appear, but unsurprisingly they’re not coming down for Black Friday. I’ll keep shoving shrap aside until one becomes manageable on a Pay-In-3.
We’re in the last laps of the Switch’s tenure right now, which for at least some devs seems to mean remasters. Nintendo included (to a degree •cough•Zelda•cough•).
Not many games have held up 20 years like the Primes. They’d be daft not to.
I’m kinda hoping the Mirrorsoft C64 version appears as DLC at some point. One direction of rotation, hard drop only and the playfield is a bit muddy (yay 16 colours 💧), but the background is gorgeous and the music by Wally Beben goes 26 minutes before looping.
The Atari coin-op would be nice at some point too, but that probably won’t happen.
Castle Rock is, and I do not say this lightly in my 45th year as a gamer, probably the funniest level I’ve ever played. First time I heard that take on Black Betty I was howling laughing so hard I couldn’t even make ⅓ of the way through it.
I’m not a Rayman fanatic by any stretch, but there’s no denying our limbless chum has had quite a few decent titles.
@adrianfrg Not really. IIRC you have to stack 5 like hats in Hatris, and can flip the hats that drop. In Yoshi you have to sandwich as many characters as you can (which drop one by one) between two halves of egg shell, and you switch the stacks around.
The C64 Mirrorsoft version would be nice, if only for the background and the 26-minute Wally Beben music. One direction of rotation and hard drop only still takes getting used to. Presumably no GB or NES Tetris because one's already in NSO and the other soon will be. (Maybe the C16/+4 version, the colours in that were way better.)
The Atari coin-op version would be another great addition, but for now I guess I'll have to make do with the C64 fan-conversion of that.
AI is one of the reasons I want the next iteration of the eShop to have better filtering and blocking options. The very second I see something that’s obviously been generated elsewhere (yes, Zuckerbot, I’m side-eyeing your Soong-type BS right now), it’s blocked.
I’ve kicked for the Last Ninja collection that System 3 are running, but not for those games - for the two International Karates that are being bundled in. Didn’t go as far as the IK++ disc, because I’m not doubling up just for a demo that I can’t even play (Mac-based).
There’s room to do a third one. Still missing Star Gladiator & Rival Schools, so there’s that - would have thought they’d go with them before Plasma & Project… There’s the Street Fighter EXes (the first one to be Plus Alpha, Sakura is fun), Tech Romancer, Tatsunoko… MvC 3? Not much left now. Good luck getting the licenses for the JoJo games…
I only just learned there’s a Minecraft coin-op last weekend when I was down in Scarborough (ye GODS, their arcades are terrible now) - I’m not sure I could handle a movie so soon after that
Jason Momoa is trying to pitch for The Big Lebowski 2
Jack Black is hitting ALL the nitros to get Borderlands as far back in the rear view mirror as he can
and the way Danielle Brooks was done up, I seriously wondered for a hot minute how the hell they managed to cast Alison Hammond…
We need a few new twists to Pokémon progression. Specifically, Eevee and their evolutions…
second level eeveelutions (more badass, but not on Mega level - about half way there)
cross-type eeveelutions
and eeveelutions for the remaining types.
An arty pal drew a whole bunch of non-canon ones years back - a steel one (Bolteon), a second level of Jolteon (Volteon), a psychic/fire cross-type (Psyroveon), and a Flying type which we had a brilliant double-pun name for - Paraveon.
Hope they translate its story and dialogue. I have the cartridge and an English-hacked ROM which does a really good job of it, but it would be brilliant to see it get an official(-ish) one.
Would have been nice if they had thrown in the original Rival Schools as well, but you cannot whine at both Capcom vs SNKs, Project Justice AND both Power Stones in a single package.
Maybe luzz Rival Schools and Star Gladiator in with the EXes for volume 3…?
The only thing this is going to be in the running for is Razzies (no small irony that the D&D movie, far from universally loved, just won a Hugo Award at WorldCon in Glasgow). I saw the ‘cancerously unfunny’ review after I’d booked tickets, but I was committed to it by that point. It is, and I’m being kind here, absolute industrial-strength pish.
Worst film of Jack Black’s career by no small distance; Kevin Hart should have stuck to shooting hoops; Blanchett & Curtis were just trousering the cheque. At least Ariana Greenblatt wasn’t as irritating as Ashly Burch’s voicing of Tiny Tina - I’m normally okay with her, being a Critter, but that’s really not her best part.
I’m going to go see Deadpool & Wolverine again this weekend, just to cancel out this utter crapshow. Good job my ticket was free (Cineworld Unlimited), but the fact that this train wreck of a movie meant my monthly sub was paid for rankles like a biøtch.
Already had tickets booked before the reviews dropped, so I was kinda tied into it, but... damn.
Four people in an already-worryingly-tiny-for-its-third-day screen. Just four. Not a laugh, not a giggle, not a snigger, nary even a snort. From ANY of us. Just singularly Not Funny - kind of a problem when it's being pitched as an action-comedy.
In comparison, Deadpool & Wolverine last weekend was full of whoops, hollers, cheers and howling laughter. But when you've got Jack Black in probably the least funny outing of his entire career, and you find yourself wishing Kevin Hart had stuck to basketball, that's really Not A Good Sign.
Borderlands pitched itself completely wrong as a movie. It was never going to live up to the games' main premise of Billions Of Guns™. On top of that, the characters were half-baked; Blanchett & Curtis were just picking up the cheque. Lilith is just a Rule-63ed Han Solo with better threads and, granted, a very nice line in contrapposto. But whilst a well-cocked hip props her up, it saves n o t h i n g about this film at all.
This thing is worse than the 1993 Mario movie (which at least had Almost Unreal), Street Fighter (Ming-na Wen), Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (Kristin Kreuk), anything that Uwe Boll farted out (.....yeah, I got nothing)... yes, it's even worse than Pixels. COMBINED. Eli Roth should be made to deedpoll his name to Alan Smithee.
I'm going to go see Deadpool & Wolverine again at some point this month. I have to. Because, with every cell of my being, I resent this pile of toss being the screening that meant my Unlimited sub paid for itself.
How many Pops are out there? They haven't just reached saturation point, they've lapped it, pissed rings round it, and made it totally irrelevant.
60 ain't gonna cut it. The chances of them including any of the handful I've got (the Vox Machina set was a birthday present, limited edition Widowmaker and Tracer were back when Overwatch fandom wasn't toxic, and who thought Dan Marino & Ryan Tannehill would have one?) are a gnat's pube away from zero.
@Ogbert Oh I know, I have Trombone Champ already - I meant the ability to add extra songs is missing solely from the Switch release of this game.
Just it burns my biscuits when we don’t get the same experience as everyone else, purely because we’re Switch gamers. In fact it happened noticeably back on the Wii/WiiU as well.
@Lightsiyd For a kickoff, I have multiple backlogs you could measure punt returns with. Physical and digital. And Steam. And my emulation gear. So I chip away at one of them.
My non-Nintendo stuff topped out at PS3 & 360. Just not enough stuff I wanted to play on anything later to warrant buying any of them - but the Switch more than made up for that. Far and away my biggest single-format collection, and I’ve been at this a while.
@Lightsiyd No, I mean every other website I order stuff on. None of them have any problems with me doing so while using a VPN. Only Nintendo has ever blocked my card details - and this has to be the reason. My card works fine literally everywhere else while I'm going through another 30-day soft-ban on the eShop. They've nerfed my PayPal each time too, and are once again the only place it gets blocked.
They're fine and freakin' dandy with me getting a voucher code, though.
GAME is just the latest chain that Frasers Group has knifed. If it somehow manages to Terminator-crawl its way into 2025, I don't think it'll see 2026.
