As much as I enjoy the American cover, I appreciate the classic aesthetics of the Japanese more.

I’ll be playing Warframe, Gran Turismo 7, and maybe a little bit of Forza Horizon 5. I’ve been thinking about picking up Xenoblade Chronicles 3, but I never finished 2 and don’t want to have another game in purgatory.

I’m not surprised by the direction the AEW game is going given how many times they pushed it as a successor to N64 wrestling… It looks like it plays exactly like the old WCW/NWO N64 games. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but as someone who was looking forward to a return to the roots - perhaps catering to fans of the classics (like myself) was not the right direction.

Brock is back! While it’s not Eric Stuart I’m really feeling it.

Has this legit even been pitched to Sega? As far as companies that are open to collaborative projects this seems like something Sega should seriously consider with the artist. Surely there is a studio out there that would collab on this.

This doesn’t look like a simple remaster… looks more like a complete rebuild.

I have no idea what they are, but I’m thinking that I might tackle the other two stories first. After 25 years, I’m a little burned out from the gyms and league motif to the point that I just caught Pokémon in the wild areas for 45 hours after opening it up all the way in Sw/Sh.

Anyone else come here thinking it was Mega Man and Bass after looking at the banner image?

While I’ve only voluntarily left games, I’d prefer not know if I was kicked. Since the game doesn’t have any communication method on Switch, I’d rather be led to believe that it was due to a bad network connection than be left trying to figure out how I offended the host.

Congrats! That’s awesome.

Maybe this would work in China, but internet connections in the US are so spotty that this is a hard sell.

@Vyacheslav333 I don’t believe that was implemented when the game first released. Though I do believe it’d be worth it for me to go back to play both again to compare them.

@lighteningbolt79 While it is possible to do well without using real money, it is discouraging to see where I’m missing out in my performance by not paying. I try not to think about it, but I do notice from time to time - especially when nearing the end of the weekly challenges and trying to max stars earned.

I enjoyed Cadence of Hyrule a lot more than the original. Not really sure why though…

@Snatcher My comment is an homage to Advanced Wars being a finished game and delayed because of real world events affecting about 0.5% of the population while water scarcity affects 40% of the world’s population.

@johnvboy It’a snarky commentary on the extended delay of Advanced Wars.

Are we sure it hasn’t been indefinitely delayed? It shares striking similarities to the ongoing climate crisis. Perhaps now isn’t the right time for a game about water creatures surviving in a drought struck region.

Saying good bye to the previous generation has been difficult. There are so many great titles on the 3DS and Wii U that haven’t been ported.

I’m not sure if I’m watching Whose Like is it Anyway or reading about video games.

I want System Shock 2 remastered.

@Snatcher I actually enjoyed WT for about 6 months and occasionally go back to it for a quick fix. It’s just too much of a money grab though… The meta is too artificial and dependent on investing real money.

As nice as a new entry would be, the formula established in Mario Kart 8 is practically flawless. I’d rather they find a way to make it a live service like Overwatch and just release new content regularly going forward.

I enjoy open world games, but I don’t think bragging about how large the world is in Xenoblade Chronicles is the right approach. I remember getting from place to place in XC2 was a bit of a slog for some areas - in fact that’s the only reason I stopped playing. It felt like an MMO without other players to interact with.

I have a lot of respect for this approach as opposed to Atlus restricting and copyright claiming spoilers. This game wasn’t on my radar, but the good will from Bandai has me reconsidering.

@Tempestryke I don’t know why, but I always felt Tides of Time was easier than the original Echo. Now might be a good time for me to go back and play them again since my memory is foggy - I just remember the pixel art being gorgeous.

I was expecting this to be F2P. Any word on crossplay? While Bandai has a good track record of supporting their games long term, this looks like it may not have a large community.

I grew up on this show. It’s up. 100% up. The key animations may be confusing, but I stand by this.

At last, I can brush off my Picard impersonation and venture forth to the great unknown.

I can’t wait. I love Warframe and still login frequently for my dailies. It’ll be nice to jump in from day one on this instead of joining late in the cycle.

Nintendo Directs are definitely one of my favorite gaming dates. I wish we had a bit more advanced notice on them though. They’re such an amazing experience that I love sharing with friends - popcorn parties!

Arena of Valor may have deserved a place on this list at launch, but dwindling player base and lack of updates makes it a miss today.

@Dilly-Mick Absolutely a stretch. The last hit NBA game was Jam on the SNES.

@UltimateOtaku91 Bandai has a surprisingly good history in supporting their online games long after launch. I’d trust Bandai to keep the game running at least 4 years, which by that point most people will have moved on anyways.

I’d forgive the social media team. They’re so focused on trying to pump out good quality content that they’re bound to flub once in a while.

Didn’t they just release the next hit NBA game?

Definitely direct time… some leaky pipes need repair. Need a plumber for the job, but he’s no where to be seen.

I want a reboot of Metroid Prime Hunters. I’m craving some good FPS competitive action on Switch.

@Muddy_4_Ever The new TMNT is such an amazing experience. Played through 6-player randoms online a few days ago and was thoroughly impressed at how it replicated the classic arcade game feel. Absolute chaos ensued. Even though no one could hear, I was still yelling at the screen like an arcade in the 90’s.

I’m pleasantly surprised. I anticipated this to be a self-gifted birthday present like the last two, it I will take a September release instead of December.

@HotGoomba Keep hitting that refresh button, they’ll be expanding the content until the ad revenue stops streaming in.

Had a second watch of this video. As much as I hate arbitrary micro transactions… I’d pay for DLC just to reinstate the original Ice Cap music.

Kind of digging Launch Pad Zone, but Ice Cap… I guess I’m just bias toward the original. Never liked Carnival and don’t like the replacement. I guess all in all it’s break even for me.

@quinnyboy58 He’s a likable guy who was vocal during his time at Nintendo. My guess is he’s pushing to remain relevant so that he can re-enter the industry easily if he chooses to do so.

@Quantaur The pictures are giving me serious Superman 64 vibes.

@embison Same here. Icecap Zone will always have a soft spot in my heart, but I look forward to hearing the new tunes.

@Sam_TSM Soundrop is a music licensing company that will coordinate the entire process of licensing covers for online marketplaces and streaming. They have experience working with Nintendo.

Nintendo is 100% in the right. Licenses may be purchased through companies that specialize in licensing covers. Everyone should go the legitimate way when covering music.

Edit: There’s a company called Soundrop that specializes in licensing music from publishers, including Nintendo, for covers and remixes - and they’re not the only company that does this.

@DarthNocturnal Rock on! Thanks for pointing this out to me.The Lite was amazing and now with joysticks it’s just like a New 3DS.

@mr12calvin I agree. Historically Nintendo has had their summer direct in the first half of the month. I anticipated a direct for June 15 based on previous leaks and the launch date to TMNT and a few other games.

@anoyonmus @fizza I think both are beat by Legend of Legacy.
