I would imagine another cruise through Mario Kart World, might stick on Yakuza Kiwami again, the Switch 2 upgrade is nice but I was so rusty when I played it I got absolutely battered in a nightclub, need a bulletproof vest methinks...
@KevinP could you tell me who 'we" is, out of curiosity, considering it's the best selling Switch 2 game? Dunno about you but Mario Kart World worked out to be peanuts for me...Ā£20 tops?
Looks like there will be a lot of happy prospective punters in here! (and a couple not so happy who will no doubt vent their spleen on Twitter)...people should know setting up alt accounts to sow dissent doesn't work around here.
Mario Kart World again methinks, one day I'll get round to doing all the cups in all the ccs, only got the 50cc so far but I'm still perfectly happy just free roaming and taking in the scenery and chilling.
@jsty3105 and then they'll only buy the games if they're on a deep deep discount. But they have the cash for figurines, graphics cards, giant TVs, surround sound, LEDs and themed controllers...
@jsty3105 Thing is the gap isn't that big any more, so obviously that means the goalposts have to move again. Like an OLED screen's gonna make it cheaper lol...
@Duncanballs random encounters turned me off Skies of Arcadia instantly. Especially coming off the back of Grandia 2 where I could choose my battles most of the time. But yeah I like to talk to everyone and open every drawer and cupboard and scour placesā¦
@jsty3105 somewhere out there is a website called Fisher Price Life, where a bunch of dudes rage in the comments every time Fisher Price gets a new president.
@Duncanballs @Pillowpants did the demo in about 5 hours and didnāt want it to end. Sold! Itās got a lot of charm and itās been super cozy. I was introduced to the series by XI S which I loved, so glad you can choose to fight rather than getting random encounters out of nowhere all the time.
@ThatOnePenguin Well if you consider racism and endless bots free speech on Twitter then that's fair enough, we all have our opinions at the end of the day...mine is Twitter is a cesspit. I know, I use it all the time and filter out garbage regularly on there. Thankfully they separate the bilge known as For You away from my following/followers, a bit like a sewer system.
I remember getting this back on the Dreamcast, it was the first RE to do away with the room to room method of getting around and was my introduction to the RE series! My next Resident Evil after that was RE4 on the Gamecube...nothing since!
@Aquinas I remember having some dude pestering the hell out of me on here years ago trying to convince me about VR...oh man. Could not take a hint in any shape or form. I've probably cursed myself and he'll turn up again...
@Severian @EVIL-C it would be great if it did for all those people who loved it, but it truly is a cult classic rather than a blockbuster, much like how they've released all them random SNES and NES games that people have said "why?" for. It got fanned over here in the UK big time by the critics as well and did poor numbers in Japan when it came out which killed its sales. If it did better numbers I'm sure it would resurface somehow. You never know, if it comes to GC NSO and everyone jumps on it, they'd see the stats...
@ThatOnePenguin Yeah Twitter still exists, but once you sift through the bots and the racism and the doom and gloomers, there's not much left of it of any worth. At least I'm rid of Temu ads now! But where the post appeared has nothing to do with Nintendolife.
Edit: And what do you know, it's down again! Cloudflare timeout. What a shame.
People craving a Switch 2 OLED yet crying that the Switch 2 in its current form is way too expensive. Then run out and buy a Deckbeard because they say thereās no games on the Switch 2. I struggle to keep up with the comment section logic. Selective stinginess.
@Solid_Python wow this is fun, I was browsing in another tab when I smelled the hate so I decided to pop in. Stocks go up and down all the time. Some people need a different hobby if this is making them melt down like thisā¦some dude wrote a million points that I will never read. He needs to go outside.
@spiderman0616 it bears no relation to reality. Thereās a whole crew of people with a massive hate boner for the Switch 2 that appeared round about the time of the reveal. Some of them quit or got banned when they realised their posts didnāt work. Some of them are still pressing on, I canāt help but wonder if itās organised. People canāt be that sad surely.
Now that I've joined the Switch 2 universe I shall be indulging in some Mario Kart World - loving it, free roam is super chilled...and I will give this Dragon Quest VII demo a spin to see how it is.
@Bass_X0 youāre bringing logic to the comment section. Thatās not how it works, you need to throw in unrealistic expectations that only a handful of people will want and address Nintendo directly. š
@spiderman0616 I swear some people only set up accounts on here to sow dissent. That "Switch 2 struggling" article, the comment section was drowning in them...and if you check their post histories all they've ever done is cry in here.
@spiderman0616 they pretty much did what people asked and they still flipped their lids. Pricewise I did great, got the MKW bundle for Ā£409.99, Itās normally Ā£449.99, if I bit the bullet in November it would have been Ā£399.99. So basically I got MKW for peanuts! Plus Amazon are selling a lot of Switch 2 titles for the same price as OG Switch games. Pays to shop aroundā¦but yeah the US situation is bad. The dollar is really weak and will only get worse.
@Duncanballs I reckon that whole subject should be categorised as āoff topicā as it derails comment sections every time. Unless they do yet another article about it of course, it could serve as a containment centre.
