I plan to get an Xbox Series X at some point, but probably not until at least RTX enabled Minecraft is available on it. My son uses the Xbox One more than anyone, and that's the only thing he would probably play.
I remember wishing and hoping something would be released for Wii U and now it's the opposite. "You like video games, do you? HAVE ALL THE VIDEO GAMES IN THE WORLD!"
@fR0z3nS0u1 I thought that a lot of scenarios were unfair too, until I realized that attempting to talk your way out of situations can work up to 50% of the time, surprisingly enough.
I'm really interested, although I did just get into Elite Dangerous recently. I think I'll be on the lookout for reviews before buying it, but I can't see anything that would keep me from getting it.
I've been playing it since day one and it is a good experience. Building your boat and customizing and expanding on it is a huge draw to me. There are a number of bug s and crashes I encountered, and they've caused me problems, but I plan to keep playing it.
My take on Paper Mario The Origami King is that, if you're anticipating an RPG with all the usual trapping, you're going to have a hard time. I found that I appreciated it better when I considered it a point and click adventure game instead.
@PipeGuy64Bit Luigi's Mansion 3 was made by Next Level Games, a developer in Vancouver. Maybe Tanabe's role was fundamentally different for that game, or perhaps the portrait ghosts were seen as entirely outside of those rules? I think I read somewhere that Miyamoto really liked Polterpup, so that might be why. I still think the ghosts in Luigi's Mansion 3 felt really outside the Mario universe, though.
I'm going to compare the PC version to the Switch version and make my decision from there. I have a high end RTX enabled gaming laptop, but if it doesn't look like it's much of a graphical improvement, I'll get the Switch version.
@spiderman0616 The Crysis engine was really poorly optimized. I can easily see the game running much better on just about anything with either proper engine reworking or even by porting the game to another compatible engine.
@Tisteg80 These aren't the original versions of the game. These are based on the enhanced Xbox One and PS4 versions, which include higher resolution textures. That would explain the size difference.
@bl4ckbl00d Borderlands is a "Looter Shooter" (think Diablo or action RPG randomized weapons for an FPS) with cell shaded graphics and REALLY low brow humor. It's fun and highly recommended, but the humour is crude.
I remember when the Wii U was out, I'd wait for these announcements to get like, 2 games and I'd hope I was interested in ONE of them. This is quite a big difference.
It's a Diablo like game that knows its audience. 3 equipment slots, 3 artifact slots (special abilities) and intuitive controls. There's also enchantments you apply as you level up and more. It's on the simple side for these styles of games, but I know it's the only chance my Minecraft addicted son will try a game like this.
I want to see pictures of what they're making before I decide of I'm going to invest my attention or not. Im not expecting much and I know the original development company isn't making them anymore, but I won't entirely rule out the possibility of a decent game coming from this.

Re: Kalypso Is Releasing A Commandos 2 HD Remaster On Nintendo Switch Next Month
@Dm9982 I remember it being everywhere on gaming sites and magazines. I've never felt the urge to check it out, but I was aware enough of it.
Re: Surviving The Aftermath Brings Grim Survival Strategy To Switch In Spring 2021
@smithpa01 I am too. Numerous times I've nearly bought this on PC, but I've never gotten around to it.
Re: Feature: We've Had Tetris 99 And Mario 35... So, What's The Next Nintendo Battle Royale?
Why not do a Pikmin 99 as a co-op game, or make it where 2 teams of 50 try and fight one another?
Re: Nintendo Is Permanently Reducing The Price Of Switch Joy-Con
I'd pay $10 more for a more durable joycon.
Re: Transformers: Battlegrounds Is Out Today On Switch, Here's The Launch Trailer
I'd pay no more than $20 for this, and I'm a huge Transformers and TBS fan.
Re: Transformers: Battlegrounds Is Out Today On Switch, Here's The Launch Trailer
@Xiovanni You'd think so, but it doesn't appear to be launching on Android or iOS

Re: All Animal Crossing: New Horizons Players Will Receive A Ring Fit Adventure Item In-Game
I like the idea of having the player set up a pumpkin patch to grow pumpkins for the special seasonal furniture instead of the easter eggs fiasco
Re: Transformers: Battlegrounds Gets Its First Gameplay Trailer, Digital Deluxe Edition Revealed
@OorWullie A Wii game with better lighting and higher resolution, but otherwise yes.
Re: The Plot Thickens On Prince Of Persia Remake As Switch Box Art Appears Online
Would be surprised if they release it on other platforms first and try to get people to double dip on the Switch version later.
Re: Take Aim In Sniper Elite 4, Coming To Nintendo Switch Later This Year
I never beat the third one. I'd have to see if they make significant enough changes to make it worth it for me.
Re: Mass Effect Trilogy Remastered Retail Listing Appears, Gets Taken Down Immediately
@BulkSlash ME3 felt like they had great segments mixed with a bunch of average content, bad decisions and a bad ending.
Re: Mass Effect Trilogy Remastered Retail Listing Appears, Gets Taken Down Immediately
@jimtendog Me too. ME2 is great, but I don't know if I'll want to play it again.
Re: Retro Studios Hires Industry Veteran To Help Steer Metroid Prime 4 Development
@nessisonett It's because Japan has no interest in Metroid, generally
Re: RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition Confirmed For Nintendo Switch
The graphics look rather rough and $30 is a bit high. I'll think on it.
Re: Even At £100, Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit Doesn't Come With A Game Card
@Shamrock I'd like it if they had more characters. My wife and daughter would be more interested in Princess Peach.
Re: Rebel Galaxy Outlaw Shoots To Switch Later This Month
I'm really interested, although I did just get into Elite Dangerous recently. I think I'll be on the lookout for reviews before buying it, but I can't see anything that would keep me from getting it.
Re: Paper Mario Producer Says His Team Has "Almost Complete Control" Over Creative Direction
It takes a special kind of guy to be given a free pass and for them to flush it down the toilet.
Re: Review: Windbound - A Surprisingly Chill Survival Epic That Owes A Debt To Zelda
I've been playing it since day one and it is a good experience. Building your boat and customizing and expanding on it is a huge draw to me. There are a number of bug s and crashes I encountered, and they've caused me problems, but I plan to keep playing it.
Re: Paper Mario Producer Says He's "Not Opposed To The Fans' Opinions"
I feel there's a big difference between innovation and change for change's sake.
Re: Jurassic World Evolution: Complete Edition Roars Onto Nintendo Switch This November
Hmmm... I did like that Jurassic Park Builder on GBA, and I love simulation games...
Re: Soapbox: After Paper Mario: The Origami King, I Want More Comedy On Switch, Please
My take on Paper Mario The Origami King is that, if you're anticipating an RPG with all the usual trapping, you're going to have a hard time. I found that I appreciated it better when I considered it a point and click adventure game instead.
Re: Pikmin 3 Deluxe Officially Announced For Switch, Includes All DLC And New Content
@thesilverbrick It sounds like they added a mode where you can go at your own pace. I would consider that "Funky mode", honestly.
Re: Splatoon 2's Getting Another Bonus Splatfest Next Month, And More Are On The Way
This is interesting. My 6 year old son just recently took interest in the game, and has been having me play while he watches. what nice timing.
Re: Video: Crysis Remastered 'Tech Features' Trailer Shows The Game Running On Switch
I recently played the original on my new gaming laptop, and these improvements do really help the look of the game.

Re: Don't Worry, Crysis Remastered Is Still Coming To Nintendo Switch On July 23rd
I'm interested. I would like to see how it runs first, however.
Re: Here's Your First Look At Crysis Remastered Running On Nintendo Switch
@spiderman0616 the first 2/3rds of the game is pretty cool, at least

Re: Random: In Japan, You Can Buy A Nintendo Wii For 50 Cents
I'd buy a Wii for 50 cents. I doubt I would play it, but I do appreciate the console's design.
Re: Minecraft Dungeons Is Out Today On Switch, Here's The Launch Trailer
It's a Diablo like game that knows its audience. 3 equipment slots, 3 artifact slots (special abilities) and intuitive controls. There's also enchantments you apply as you level up and more.

@Alaninho The best feature of the online is using your phone as a keyboard in Animal Crossing. That's essentially it though
