@electrolite77 oh man the 2D stuff on there is phenomenal, some of the arcade conversions of shooters ran better on the Saturn due to its ridiculously good sprite handling. I remember playing DoDonPachi in the arcade and it having slowdown, yet it never slowed down on the Saturn at all. Plus it had a Ghouls n Ghosts collection with the SNES Super Ghouls n Ghosts on it with zero slowdown at all…

@electrolite77 Funnily enough I decided to take a trip back in time, some of the comments are hilarious - it is the same thing all over again...

@Mallow yep! Random popular people parrot a word or two (usually trickled down by IGN or Kojima’s simp), suddenly that expression populates every comment section but people don’t realise they’re just regurgitating someone else’s words.

A simple example is the “one step forward, two steps back” soundbite I’ve seen rehashed hundreds of times on here, when all I want to see is their individual take on the state of affairs.

Market is drying up in Japan in anticipation for June. I reckon the next few weeks will be as bare as this for everyone, but Switch 2 is going to decimate everything in its path for a while to come.

@GrailUK same here. Top 5 console for me.

@GrailUK Saturn had a horrible time in the west but had amazing support in Japan. It was another one of those underdog flop consoles with an amazing back catalogue. I was bang into Capcom fighting games at the time and they gave it brilliant support, plus all the amazing sprite based and Treasure games….I thoroughly enjoyed its short lived run.

@Oldstalk “It doesn’t match the buzzword I’ve been fed!!!!???!! Damn you Nintendo!!!!!!” Or something to that effect.

Bet they’re popping bottles in Sandisk HQ… 🍾

@jfp yeah my N64 was a US import but I cheaped out on not getting the RGB mod, which I regretted big time because the default display on the N64 was sadly a brown blurry sludge…

@Xbox_Dashboard You clearly said it was going to be a cross platform release on Switch 1 and 2, and added "mark my words on this". Direct comes out and gone, nowhere to be seen. I'll make a screenshot of the paid DLC prediction though, thanks!

@Jester676 hard to resist sometimes, you know how it is...

@Residentsteven on top of that coming on here and posting in such a condescending edgelord fashion (over games of all things?) even though he magically appeared out of nowhere. As much edge as a ball.

@Anti-Matter I spent a lot of money getting an OG Japanese Dreamcast on day of release in London, on top of that paying for imported Japanese games! Then getting it modded! This era pales in comparison...people were dropping £1000+ for import PS2s when they became available over here.

@Jester676 no doom and gloom here at all, just addressing someone who regularly posts in an inflammatory way and uses every opportunity to plug the PS5 despite being told his time would be better spent on PushSquare, trying to be careful how I word things on here at the mo...I really like the look of the Switch 2 and I am totally on board.

@Xbox_Dashboard what happened to your Mario Kart predictions? Your predictions never seem to hit the mark at all...oh you deleted them, how convenient.

@johnvboy I haven't bothered, holding fire for a little while, got some money coming my way for a little project I did...need to ask you as you're as much as a regular as me, do you look in these comments and think "who in the hell are you???" I see loads of them.

@xzacutor don’t take part then. Life goes on.

@jfp see my earlier comment…

@TrogdorTheBurninator doubt it very much. A few nerds crying on YouTube hardly equates to a revolution.

@electrolite77 some people are literally foaming at the mouth over any possible bad Switch 2 news…the usual suspects flood the comment sections and start trying to create disarray with anyone who’s not pretending to freak out like they are…

Good to get some clarification for my American friends…

@IceClimbers Any excuse for a Spanish soap opera around these parts...

@Jester676 Looks like he's been banned...another of the "appear out of thin air to sow disdain" users that magically surfaced after the Switch 2 reveal. Dozens appeared.

@DonkeyKongBigBoy “but…but….what if they turn off the servers in 2085???? What will you do then????!!???? 😫”

Or is it Rainbow World? That’s not counting a whole mirror mode being possible as well…

Sorry about the optimism.

@GrailUK this is where we find out he’s actually 43….

@Mallow Yeah some of these Youtubers have jumped on the misinfo/misinterpret bandwagon as hate equals clicks right now, I saw Spunk Wave jumping on it the last week or so rather than his generally neutral approach. Not clicking on it as it’s ragebait.

@robotreptile yeah I was sort of wondering how long this influx of haters can keep it up myself…

@Keman Don’t buy it then if it makes you that melodramatic. I don’t see anyone twisting your arm. Another account set up just to complain?

@GrailUK bit harsh mate we were all kids once! His attitude might completely change once he leaves school… 😉

@johnedwin don’t care. Never gonna buy one. Zero interest.

@Ogbert that’s what makes me fascinated. Can they add some zing between now and launch? Be mad if they could.

I love the amount of support this game has...one of the best games of all time. I still enjoy having the occasional one life run on it to see how far I can get. Loved it since I got it on the 32X.

@Ogbert We shall see...in my eyes it all looks quite embryonic right now.

I get a feeling this is quite an early build. Nintendo are known for just using simple shapes to sell a proof of concept as far as play styles are concerned, they rarely go down the path of CGI trailer bullshots…Splatoon started life as blocks of tofu for example. I’ll wait until I see later footage to pass judgement.

@Ryu_Niiyama A bit like I have my 6 button MD pad just for fighting games...wouldn't play Street Fighter etc with a Switch controller, I need that 6 button layout.

@Wilforce I'll read your post tomorrow, looks like a goodun. It's been a long day for me at work.

@Ulysses Loftwings are the nuts…there’s still plenty of people who haven’t played Skyward Sword so I shall leave it there.

@Wilforce all people cried about in the comments when Reggie worked there was for him to get fired. It went on for years. Also that Iwata needs to step down. Fire Reggie was on my Nintendolife bingo card of comment section tropes for years…Reggie was more visible but still ultimately followed the party line from base camp. The vitriol towards Reggie was insane.

@Yoshi3 yep it's been dragging on a bit! Enjoy the weekend!

@Yoshi3 So avoid buying video games in those countries, cool, thanks for the heads up. Video games would be the last reason to go to either countries. I'd be there enjoying the experience and the people first and foremost. Explains why older systems are way more popular in Brazil. Master System was killing it our there for ages. The economy there has always been a bit on the chaotic side.

@1UP_MARIO Tell me about it, scorchio! Not a cloud in the sky!

@Yoshi3 Kool if you have the retail prices let me know. I'm sure Mexico and Brazil are chuffed to have you fighting their corner.

@Yoshi3 kool let me check the exchange rates, been invited to Rio a few times.

@Yoshi3 of course I do, I would use the cost differences to my advantage everywhere I go…it’s not hard.

As far as your edit is concerned nah I go to TurnipLife for that, they’re having a massive meltdown over Japanese turnips at the moment. Hidden costs or some other nonsense.

@Yoshi3 I don’t live in the USA! 😂 spend a lot of time there but being frugal is something I do. I’ve travelled a lot on low budgets. I do part exchanges, I do pay in 3, sell things I don’t need. I’m good with money and know my priorities. Video games are low in my priorities hence why I don’t get upset over them but I do get amazed at the meltdowns.

@Truegamer79 cheers, thought so.

@Yoshi3 who in the hell is stupid enough to pay RRP on any game especially TOTK? That’s concern troll tactics right there…it was available in tons of places much cheaper. Suddenly everyone is too dumb to to shop around for a better price, a basic human instinct? You’re reaching I’m afraid.

@Truegamer79 oh by the way sir, how much is the latest Last of Us edition on PS5 whatever edition? Have you got a link handy?

@SillyG you’re talking about third parties. That’s way too much effort for them.
