@FlashFan207 yeah that's the one. I must have been feeling pretty funny about labeling it Jet Set Radio Radio on my tabs. Glad you're enjoying it, and, big fan of the flash as well. One of my brother and I's favorite JLU episode is the Flash Museum episode.

I legit have Tokyo-to Radio saved on my phone pages. I go to it once a month at least to jam out. Ok Sega, just don't Sega this.

The first 2-3 years were actually pretty good. They actually showcased gaming and the chaos of not having everything be so, "commercial" for lack of a better word, made the show feel genuine. Now it just feels like "LOOK AT ME" starring Geoff Keighley and friends.

@RobbWes So THAT'S why it looked familiar. I've been reading that one online for months. I think the concept and execution are pretty funny. Plus, on a personal note, I just like that it's not another Boruto or Eden's Zero. Same characters whose stories I was satisfied with, now just used for cashing in, at least that's how it feels to me for those 2.

@Coolmusic Looking at these I'd be willing to bet money they used this for Rosalina's design. Between her hair, her face, and her expression she looks like the goth-esque version of Rosalina. Even her posture in the drawn picture is very similar. I feel like if you shopped the boots off and put the dress on she'd look almost identical.

@RobbWes inhales eeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Sakurai, I've also had those same thoughts for years. I think a scrolling L1/R1 would be wonderful for controllers, and combo'd with analog triggers for L2/R2 would be the best for haptic feedback.

One of the things Nintendo does pretty well is share their game design ideas. Right now you can see different variations of Super Mario Bros stages done on graph paper from back in the day. They also constantly talk about how their games come together; like Mario 64 was chasing rabbits in different stages and climbing trees, which was also how BotW started, climbing random things and just finding stuff. And seeing one of their devs say they love the community sharing things like videos, feels really good, cause that is one of Nintendo's sucky points.

@Truegamer79 My final tactic was circle around the tree swinging the hammer so his return swing would miss sometimes and you can pop him.

I honestly don't remember having that hard of a time on the dungeon itself but Dark Link took a few tries. I didn't play OoT until the master collection on the GameCube so I was a lot older and smarter compared to when I would have played the game on the N64 so that might have helped. I remember having more trouble finding the ghost ship than anything else in that game. Its somewhere around the Spirit Temple...I think.

Same thing I've always been using my gen 1 Switch for; homebrew and modding my saves for my single player games. If I really like a game I'll move the save from that switch to my OLED and play it there. Its been great for certain RPGs, max money usually or stat raise items so I can enjoy them at whatever pace I feel like.

Not surprised but still disappointed. I used it quite often cause my phone screen is broke and you can't always be at a desktop.

Now that I think about it the 3DS had better apps than the switch for non-gaming related stuff. That's wild.

@Takoda Fair. If I had to recommend one I'd go for IX Sentinels of the Starry Skies. It has a great story, robust class options, and if you can use codes or have an extra router lying around you can access bonus dungeons which people made to help grind way faster. I don't care for the locked class Dragon Quests either so I only go for the free class ones although XI is fun.

Love the GBC. My first handheld was the original Game Boy so the idea of color in my games on the go was unbelievable. It took me 10 months to save up enough to buy one. I now have the Pokemon GBC from the pic above with an IPS screen and fresh speaker. It's wonderful and the games have never looked better (yes, they're still old and pretty blocky.) Now if I could just find a copy of Crystal locally I'd be set

The music used in the video is having licensing issues due to the rights being sold. That artists' album that has that song is gone off YouTube as well. There could be more but that's the main thing.

@JustMonika Their name is turntSNACO which is a reference to the Game Grumps, which is who I was watching play it. Dan, one of the Grumps, genuinely did not see the twist coming and lost their mind when it happened.

@SwitchForce BL3 let's you choose what content you want installed at any given time. The base game plus updates is the approx 24 gigs then any DLC or Language Packs you can download extra then delete when you're done.

@turntSNACO That's pretty much what my brother and I did when we played it on the PS4. He'd watch anime and I would watch DDLC and Dan's descent into madness.

@Bolt_Strike Ok, I understand where you are coming from now. Thanks for explaining your point of view

@iLikeUrAttitude Haven't played Rube/Sapphire in a long time. What content was cut from ORAS? I remember them adjusting the story to include multiverse (I'll admit my least favorite plot macguffin,) making the Lati's important, and adding the Delta episode. And the secret base function was still there and made grinding easier since people would share Blissey bases and other things I can't remember right now.

@iLikeUrAttitude I am genuinely curious as to why you feel that. I find the ORAS remakes on par with HG/SS and Platinum, and those are my favorites. I'm even going through Renegade Platinum right now and then Soothing Silver after that cause as much as I love those games they have flaws too especially with leveling.

Pokemon Amie and the EV training were the best extras of X/Y. Actually getting to cuddle/feed/clean your pokemon actually made them feel special and being able to immediately get any pokemon ready to level up and battle was wonderful. It wasn't all good though, cause the crit boost would hurt a lot when catching pokemon and the anime moments amie caused sometimes made battles easier than they need to be.

@nhSnork Absolutely nothing wrong with solo play. My problem is every other version of every other game (sans Vita) is 4 player so you can enjoy the variety of classes. Even 3 player would have been acceptable but just 2 player is wrong.

Wow, Borderlands 3 really does have just 2 player online play. That just sucks and kinda ruins the idea of the franchise.

@Sisilly_G Thank you for that info. Only ever cleared the base game so I missed those. I'd also lend my DS to family members so just finishing the game took a long time lol

I'm still interested in their shared docks idea where each dock can output data to boost other docks. That's some cool future tech. Maybe have the systems share their DLSS info so they can upgrade it as more games get added? Just one of those patent ideas that would be cool.

Also, I'm in the Nintendo Super Switch category, but I feel like that's just going to be their internal name for it which makes me weep.

I only played the DS version until recently. Saw the GBA version for 6 dollars and said sure. Low and behold DS version is the same as the GBA version. I had no idea EA was cheaping us out of stuff as early as 2004. It has just has touch screen support and a few smoother areas. But I will say I noticed something really cool about how they developed the game because of it. Those cheats you can buy, match events in the game. You will need a lot of money to do one of the story missions; 10k money cheat you can buy. You need to get through an area fast; faster walk or hoverboard cheat. It was a nice touch I wouldn't have noticed had I not gone through the GBA version.

I know your pain @drac_Mazoku Personally I found the game super fun and the glitches I had were plenty. Mountains reloading, sometimes an entire minute passed before pokemon would load in, people in stop motion sketches walking past my battles, middling FPS in areas, etc. I still loved it over Shield cause to me that game was BORING. Every event was "You can't handle this. Go elsewhere." until Musk snapped at the end for NO reason. Never got the DLC because of that. The sense of wonder that Arceus/Scarlett/Violet give while exploring feels great and I never got that in Shield. Hopefully the Switch 2 patch story is true so we get to see what these games can really do

@SViper thanks. I did end up checking it out and didn't see any of the ones I wanted. big sadge. oh well what can you do

@SViper Where are the old pokemon encounter leaks? There are a few mons I want in the newer games still.

As someone who put over 100 hours into 3 on PS4 I'm perfectly content NOT buying this again. I haven't been back in a while but the game was super unbalanced especially when you're Moze. The mech just obliterates everything no matter the difficulty and there's little reason to not be in it. I felt bad cause my brother was playing with me and we didn't know they would be useless. At a certain point they just hopped in the mech's turret and sat there cause I would kill whole screens faster than they could move. I can't do that to them again.

@Ryu_Niiyama Where does it end? Do they at least get to where he gets his custom sword?

Kong looks like a dude in a monkey suit and 2 of the screenshots have the same attack. This is so bad its funny lol

@-wc- @Joeynator3000 Was the game in question in 3d? Off the top of my head that might have been Bubsy 3d.

The closest game I had for this was Slave Zero for the Dreamcast. I only played it as a demo and never bought the game. Come 5 or so years ago I think about it and give up trying to find the name cause it was a demo, until I came across it at a local video game store. And I do remember every game I've played because I beat every game I start. Some just take a LONG time (GTA 3 2002-2022)

Honestly if the next Switch is backwards compatible or they are trying hard to make it work like all the reports/rumors are saying I can imagine a reveal this year. Crazy but, if they can get BC figured out then they might not lose sales from the holidays like everyone thinks they would. They could introduce a good price cut on current switches or make actual holiday deals to quickly clear out old switch stock while getting everyone excited for the upgrade patches of regular Switch games when the Next Switch comes out. This is just the ideal tho.

@Ganner This is the problem with EVERY major sports title now, especially by EA or 2k. Even wrestling will occasionally boot straight to the buy packs mode before you can even do anything else. My house still has a working copy of 2k5. I don't like football and I still play it with people. That should say everything about major sports games now.

Thanks for the Viktor Vran box set notice. I would love to support the devs more especially with the amazing tribute with Motörhead.

Can someone make an edit where Splatoon 3 and WarioWare are swapped? They're out of place in their prospective rows.
DLC row
New game row

For those wondering about the Cybertron games, the studio that made them was assimilated into the CoD machine for moar profits so we may not see them for a while.

Given how much the background looks like Sonic Boom, I think I'm good.

@Teksetter I love those games. I hope they do all 5 Suikoden and the DS one. Yes, even 4.

Unless they have a new system announcement or are putting their 100+ 1st party titles they're missing from their NSO services I probably won't even care about the next direct. A lot of the games I've gotten from directs have been ok at best (looking at you Violet) and anymore it feels like you get maybe 2-3 good Nintendo games a year which is the main reason to play the switch. Even so many of the Indie darlings I've tried have started to feel way too similar. Cult of the lamb has been fun at least. Just haven't been wowed by Nintendo in a good while.

Can't wait to see how Niantic screws this up. Main idea; you can't use the Master Ball on raid battles, thereby defeating the purpose.

I had the exact opposite reaction. I used my Action Replay, opened up my game, and had the time of my life. I still have DS, GBA, Xbox, and PS2 Action Replays. And as someone who had to rent a lot of their games, being guaranteed to beat it in the allotted time because I could cheat let me enjoy way more games than I could have otherwise.

Good ol player expectations. You marketed the game as made by the X-Com devs and then change the X-Com combat style. I have played the game and I know it's good, but I am disappointed cause of the marketing. There's also a nagging feeling that they were going to go full 2k and MTX the cards so you can buy your way through areas. It's just a feeling and I have no proof of it. I can admit that, but maybe other people felt it too?

My favorite is the Wii U Pro and then the SNES controller (many of 8bitdo's offerings are solid.) Until customizable controllers let me set up the sticks the same way I'll probably never stop using it. My 3 8bitdo SNES variants are also wonderful and they offer see through plastic which is such a fun aesthetic for gaming.

@Blitzgreymon Thanks for the beginner mode info. I already beat the game when it came it on PS4 so I wasn't that interested in a 2nd go through but knowing there's a way to speed it up might make me pick this up again

@Rossoverde If this proves to be true and they port XCX to the switch now I will personally reimburse you for what you paid if it was less than 50 US dollars. You have my word cause that's how much I love that game.

While the controller itself looks alright I'm really confused as to why they've stolen a YouTuber's logo for their brand. I've been to their website and it's plastered on everything. Just yikes.
