Really pretty, definitely want to replay, but between their union busting and not adding gyro I'm good.

I would be all over this if I hadn’t seen like half a dozen deals for the Switch 2 physical version for close to €40 at this point. I actually prefer digital but for that price I couldn’t jump in.

Shoutout to Mechstermination Force, which is on sale for €1 and is a super fun boss rush game where you take down giant mechs. It even has co-op.

No word on gyro aiming yet? I’d definitely prefer that over Mouse Mode. It’s literally what would get me to buy the Switch 2 version over Steam Deck.

Anyone know if there's a zen mode that lets you freely roll up stuff at your own pace? I like the timer challenges but I've always felt this game is such a good chillout game. I know the older games had "Endless Modes" but they were usually the last thing to unlock.

That's an easy buy for me. The art-style of this series is out-of-this-world. It'll sit nicely next to my Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey art books.

Yeah this is an 8/10 for me as well, I really like the shape and grip and the modularity. Haven't had problems with docking, and didn't even know about the cartridge storage area tbh. I'd recommend people pick it up with the front cover, it's replaced my carrying case and is much smaller.

🤷‍♂️ Galaxy 2 is my favourite 3D platformer of all time and I’ve been itching for a replay since Galaxy 1 totally held up on the 35th compilation. It’s totally worth €40 for me.

Super charming idea. Visuals are a little blah but nothing some great gameplay can't overcome.

I dig the bike. Yeah the desert looked rough (after everything else in this game looked amazing) but I'll hold for judgement. Still fully expecting this to be one of my favourite games of the year.

I've skipped plenty of re-releases due to overpricing (DKCR, RDR1) but... not gonna lie, as far as I can recall Galaxy 2 is my favourite 3D platformer of all time and I've been wanting to replay it really badly, so I'll probably pony up the €40. Sorry. Replaying Galaxy for the 35th collection was absolutely magical so I think it's worth the price for me.

Hoping for a big first party reveal and maybe a port of Clair Obscur Expedition 33. Other than that, happy to be surprised. Between Mario Kart, Bananza, Silksong, Metroid and a huge backlog I'm happy with 2025, but I'll take some 2026 games.

Rayman 64 and Rayman 2 on the Nintendo Classics, please. And I'll take a Galaxy 2 remaster (still my favourite 3D platform game) for Mario's 40th.

Hoping for Rayman 2 on N64, Rayman 3 on GameCube Classics and a new Rayman announcement.

Seeing how I’m playing only on Steam Deck and Switch 2 I’d love any port that doesn’t run well on the Deck right now. Clair Obscur is the most obvious example. Ninja Gaiden looks cool. Voted for Hi-Fi Rush even though I beat it because it’s fantastic.

Shame about it taking place in a dull looking city because I’m playing through Arceus Legends right now and it’s my favourite Pokémon since Yellow. And I’m all for making things more real-time. Hoping for a third Legends game that takes place outside of a city.

Yeah easily announcement of the direct for me, I only started playing the series with the re-releases but absolutely loving them.

The thought of Rayman 2 hitting N64 makes me really happy, especially because it opens the door for Rayman 3 to hit the GameCube app. In general I hope we get more 3rd party efforts, because there's plenty of great ones on the GameCube.

This needs to happen, the Gamecube app alone will take up a significant chunk of the available space in a year or two. Sure, micro SD cards exist, but that would be a ridiculous reason to have to invest when the solution is so obvious.

I'm trying to watch less of games these days to not get spoiled as much, because the surprise is so much better when you see things in the game. I've managed to only watch the reveal trailer so far, but I did listen a couple of previews. It's hard not to watch every single thing when you're excited for a game.

I put on a Hori screen protector that I got from my local game store but immediately regretted it. No frame to put it on perfectly and it's an awful plastic one. Back to getting well-reviewed glass protectors from online shops.

@Friendly I’d rather have 40fps

@Darthmoogle Yeah that’s what I’m hoping. Apparently the final version already looks a ton better than the early footage in the Switch 2 reveal.

So this runs better on the Deck? I’ve heard you can eke out 40fps there. Bummer.

Definitely picking it up though

Definitely considering picking this up, heard really good things. €2,27 (lol) seems like a decent price. It'll be either this or on Steam Deck.

Yes please, I’ll take 2. Had a blast with Rayman 2, 3, Origins and Legends. Anyone half interested in platformers should pick these up, they’re on sale for $5 all the time.

A hugely impressive, gorgeous world with a ton of details and amazing animation, but I never had fun in it like I did in RDR1.

@Chlocean Couldn't have said it better. I appreciate what Rockstar is doing and the amount of detail in their games is stunning. But I actually bounced off GTA V and RDR2 pretty hard several times, I just wasn't having fun. I don't think I've had fun with a Rockstar game since RDR1 and Bully. With Mario Kart I know I'll be having a ton of fun.

@Ashunera84 I do think the trailer does a great job of highlighting the amount of detail you can expect in the world, which I feel is the main selling point of modern Rockstar games. Not just visually, but the way they've made the world come alive.

@Jhena Playing devil's advocate a bit, how is stomping goombas in Mario different from shooting rival gangs in GTA?

Off-topic but thanks for using Bluesky as source

I like rhythm heaven so I'll be generous and give it a 7/10

Not sure what to pick since I’ll wait for a price drop like most here. Great game though.

I'm very curious about battery life. 30 minutes?

IMO playing this handheld and using the touchscreen is the best way to play this game.

$5 for those wondering, like me. For that reasonable price I’ll probably get it day 1, since this is my GOTY so far.

It's Bo and it's not even close

Really nice to have this cleared up, since I did find it confusing (as he pointed out) that there's plenty of producers involved with the project's direction, and plenty of directors involved in the marketing / budget.

Definitely agree with the people saying Prince of Persia The Lost Crown

I was feeling a little mixed about the gameplay "gimmick" of copying-pasting items, but after rewatching the trailer and thinking about how it combines with Zelda-level-of-quality puzzles, I'm extremely hyped. Should've blindly trusted in Aonuma.

Bet he sent some TOTK-devs to Grezzo's offices.

Did anyone think of telling the Biomorph devs that there's other colors than grey, grey-brown and pale blue? The game should be my cup of tea, but it looks like a depressed cartoon.

Also kinda baffling to see a Sands of Time trailer that shows off less than the last one. It's okay not to announce a game 2 years in advance, Ubi.

Ending on a positive note: Pumped for more Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown content, such a great game that deserves better sales. Basically everyone clamouring for more Silksong should just pick it up.

The rogue PoP game looks cool too! Pretty weird to go from no-PoP for like 14 years to 3 PoP in development at the same time, but I'm not complaining. It was probably my favourite semi-dead franchise.

@Spider-Kev that explains it, what a waste

I have no idea where the 2500 pieces went, it looks way more like 1500-2000. Maybe it’s the sheer amount of unique bricks per version?

Anyway, like the rest said: looks great, too expensive.

Really bummed about this one, I loved Good Job. Actually thought about applying for a job at Paladin, but I guess I'm lucky I didn't get a job there.

Kinda funny reading people write "I wish this developer who didn't earn enough money to continue, made their quality games cheaper" but okay.

Both Olli Olli World and Rollerdrome are fantastic, straight up 9/10 games IMO. Wonder if they underperformed..

I'm playing through this on Steam Deck OLED right now and it's awesome, gorgeous and super charming.

I've always liked this franchise a lot more than its spiritual successor, Assassin's Creed so I'm glad it's back (... for now, seems it sold pretty poortly).

Anyway, Sands of Time's my personal favourite.

From the moment they announced they were reusing the map I was worried it'd lose the sense of exploration, and even though TOTK surprised me in many other ways, the lost sense of exploration means BOTW is the easy choice for me.

Based on Famitsu's review pedigree this could mean the game is either fantastic, awful or mediocre.

Picked this up on launch day full-price to support the devs (and because I want more games like this), but Ubisoft's really shooting themselves in the foot with this ridiculous sales behaviour.

Anyway, fantastic game, well worth the $30.

I'm having a pretty good time with Wonder but it's proven to me that no matter how much they mix up the formula, add new power-ups/badges, update the visuals — I much prefer 3D Mario games. So I'd prefer 90% 3D games with the occasional 2D one.

For a new 2D game I'd like them to take the badge levels all the way — give us entire worlds based on new movesets like the horizontal vine grapple hook, the high-jump and the crazy creature transformations introduced in Wonder.

That's great! Love these games. Now praying for more Cadence content / a sequel
