Tragic how some of us here rightfully feel that smaller indie developers, with employees trying to earn a living both for themselves and perhaps their families, should be protected from harm, but also feel that larger corporations, with a lot more employees trying to earn a living for the same reasons, are fine to harm.
You wouldn't want to be friends with these people if you make it big in this world.
I'd buy a Castlevania DS collection if it were a thing.
I'd also go for a re-release of a re-release: Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, but now made compatible with the whole current Pokédex. A guy can dream.
Emulation for a current and fully-available console is unreasonable and is clearly just for piracy. I can understand emulation for older unavailable devices, but this is just ridiculous, with equally ridiculous reasoning from its defenders.
I buy physical copies of games I'd like to keep for as long as I like, so unless I can be assured of perpetual ownership and downloadability of a digital game (steep condition, I know), a digital-only game market doesn't appeal to me.
It's this availability limitation that admittedly pushes me towards piracy at the end of a digital game shop's lifespan. Unsavory, but if that's the last resort to get a copy of a purely digital game then so be it.
Never was a fan of this TMNT series, same as my kids (who refer to it bluntly as "ugly Ninja Turtles"). And after Shredder's Revenge, any other TMNT beat-'em-up not in the same style is dead to me. I wouldn't enjoy it and my kids (who would be a major reason why I'd get it) won't even touch it.
Here's hoping a sequel or further expansion to Shredder's Revenge (or even a non-TMNT series using the same style) would be created.
The young and the gullible are their sales demographic. The parents are to blame for the former if they're not restricting their child's purchases, while the latter only have themselves to blame.
Shovelware game publishers are scum, but the above people share part of the fault here.
Went on a nostalgia trip this weekend and played the Final Fantasy VI pixel remaster. Also tried some eShop demos and immensely enjoyed Unicorn Overlord. Can't wait for its release now. Looks like I've found my next physical purchase.
Infernax has been fun but its final dungeon is stressing me out, so good thing I also have Snowrunner and the Final Fantasy VI pixel remaster to calm me down.
I used to be the market for this, and it does look rather neat, but I'm now at the age when I no longer see the point nor need to impress others with my capability to buy overpriced molded/sculpted plastic.
After a bit of playing, just selling off just some of my collected monster parts was already enough to get me a good supply of rupees. I get lacking materials, but I don't get people not having enough rupees for stuff in TOTK.
I find game trailers that don't show any actual gameplay on the console they're advertising for to be shady. Why hide the most crucial part of the game... unless there's something to hide?
This has been on my wishlist since release, but Taiko no Tasujin: Rhythm Festival and the TaTaCon I bought along with it for Christmas need some love too. First-world problems.
I sometimes buy digital, sometimes physical, depending on how much I value a game. I'd like to continue doing that, having a choice with what I get to own.
What Ubisoft is suggesting here is straight up Orwellian, and it's sad that they either don't seem to realize it, or they do but don't care.
It seems good enough to wish that it doesn't cross any legal boundaries. I look forward to this game being very expansive and having more of its own identity come next year.

Almost time to kneel before my Unicorn Overlord.

Re: Anniversary: Switch Turns Seven Today, With Over 11,000 Games On The eShop
Now if only the majority of that 11,000 wasn't hot garbage shovelware.
I adore my Gen-2 Switch, but come on.
Re: Contra: Operation Galuga Limited Run Classic & Ultimate Edition Revealed, Pre-Orders Live
Tried the demo. Something about it didn't click, unlike the original despite lesser graphics and higher difficulty. No thanks.
Re: Random: The Simpsons Meets Mario Kart In Bizarre TV Mash-Up
The Simpsons Hit & Run remaster for Switch confirmed.

@garfreek Thanks for the correction... and also the EXP. Level up!
Re: It Looks Like Leap Day Is Causing Havoc For Theatrhythm Final Bar Line Players
Here we go again with games connecting online even when gameplay doesn't require it.

Re: Review: Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On! (Switch) - Game Freak's 3DS Gem Is Still A Prize Pony
The demo was quite enjoyable, but this'll have to wait as my budget has already been set for Unicorn Overlord.
Re: Stardew Valley Creator Shares Another Development Update About Version 1.6
I wonder if Abigail will still eat a diamond in this version.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Castlevania: Legacy Of Darkness
The EU version box art is so metal. More of this please.

Re: Nintendo Releases Update For Switch (Version 17.0.1), Here Are The Details
Probably another anti-pottymouth update.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 17th)
Infernax has been fun but its final dungeon is stressing me out, so good thing I also have Snowrunner and the Final Fantasy VI pixel remaster to calm me down.

Re: Dead Cells Lead Designer Isn't Happy With "Abrupt" Decision To End Development
Dead Cells will survive. For goodness' sake, people are still playing the original Super Mario Bros. despite lack of continued support.
Re: Sega Reports 'Sluggish' Sales Of Sonic Superstars And Other Major Titles
Sure, blame the economy and development costs, because other, more stellar games never have to worry about those.
Re: CRKD's New Wireless Switch Controller Comes In A Stunning Famicom Design
It seems like it should have a screen, maybe because it reminds me of Retroid's handhelds.
8bitdo's offerings still beat these, hands down.
Re: First 4 Figures Unveil Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Sheikah Slate Statue, Pre-Orders Open Soon
I'd be content with even just a Sheikah Slate-themed phone case that looks decent and would fit my phone.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 10th)
Used my accumulated gold points and availed of some discounts to get Octopia, Infernax, Torchlight II, and Shantae and the Pirate's Curse.
But enough talk! Have at them!

It had better be shoes made from Nargacuga hide.
Re: Fate/Samurai Remnant 'DLC Vol.1' Arrives On Switch This Week
I'm a big fan of both the Fate and Musou/Warriors franchises, but this one didn't do it for me when I played the demo. Not sure why though.
Re: Random: This Zelda: TOTK Rupee Glitch Might Be The Easiest We've Seen
After a bit of playing, just selling off just some of my collected monster parts was already enough to get me a good supply of rupees. I get lacking materials, but I don't get people not having enough rupees for stuff in TOTK.

Re: Random: Skipping Zelda: TOTK's Great Sky Island Tutorial Is Possible, With The Right Glitches
Instructions too complicated, ended up making Tears of the Kingdom 2.
Re: Random: Sakurai Takes A Stand Against CGI Game Trailers
I find game trailers that don't show any actual gameplay on the console they're advertising for to be shady. Why hide the most crucial part of the game... unless there's something to hide?
Re: Random: Hyperkin's Latest Switch-Compatible Controller Is... A Hot Dog?
Lost opportunity to release a Wiinermote back then.
But at least we now have a Juice-Con.
Re: Random: Sorry, The Sims 4 Isn't Actually Coming To Switch
TS2 with TS4 QOL features would be the bomb.
Re: New Trombone Champ Update Adds Bonus Songs And Dance Moves, Here Are The Patch Notes

Best viewed from a box seat while snootily using a lorgnette.
Re: Palworld Has A Pokémon Mod, Though Video Takedowns Are Already Being Dished Out
Correct: In the face of all these homework-copiers, the Pokémon franchise seriously needs to do better.
Also Correct: Nintendo/The Pokémon Company/Game Freak has the legal right to slap these mods off the face of the planet.
Re: Mini Review: Turnip Boy Robs A Bank (Switch) - A Faulty Frame Rate Foils This Fun Caper

Re: Pokémon Fans Set Their Sights On Palworld's "Rip-Off" Monster Designs
We have Pokémon at home.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project
Definitely NA.
On a side note, maybe because it's been so long since I last played the game, but I don't recall Triceratons being in the game. Were they?
Re: Take-Two Has Filed A Trademark Dispute Over Remedy's Awesome New Logo
Let's all have a hearty laugh once the court throws this case out.
