@StarCollector Have they fixed bedrock yet? I know it was basically unplayable for months, but I stopped paying attention. I figured it must be better now but I still see "fix bedrock" comments all over the place. Either way, I'd also like to enjoy vibrant visuals, please - it's been long enough!
I love 8bitdo please tell me they're going to do GameCube next! While I dislike the form factor of the N64 controller (thus making this version an improvement) I'm not sure I would want them to deviate as much with a GameCube version, but I have gigantic hands so I'd probably still go for it. Really I just want the button layout. I genuinely think it's the best layout we've ever had. C stick has to change though. I love my official Switch 2 version but it doesn't have all the buttons so blech
My mom bought me A Link to the Past at Babbage's two weeks before it was supposed to come out. Back then it wasn't as big of a deal and the guy was like "This isn't supposed to be on display but I'll sell you one wink wink." It wasn't even a holiday or my birthday or anything, she could just tell how desperate I was, to have this highly anticipated game in my hands weeks before the Nintendo Power would arrive detailing strategies on how to defeat the new big bad villain, Aganhim, and his cronies! She would never know how much it meant to me.
@Diowine I definitely think it would be a good idea to have cross saves, it's just weird that it's a negative point on the game when there are sooooooo many games without it. I feel like cross saves are a bonus, not an expected feature, though perhaps it shouldn't be that way.
@Diowine I can't think of a single Switch game with cross save. I'm sure there are at least 2 out there, but it's not something that happens ever as far as I can tell.
@Moistnado "LOLLIPOP CHAINSAW RePOP Nintendo Switch 2 Edition had been scheduled for release on March 26, 2026. However, due to the need for significant updates not only to the Nintendo Switch 2 version but also to the currently released Nintendo Switch version, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the release."
"Stitch Machoo" that's not the worst I can do, but it's the worst I can do without expending any mental effort for a good portmanteau of Switch 2 and Steam Machine.
@Erigen I like it, but it's not NieRly as good as this game. It's really something special. I was initially turned off by the overly provocative character designs, but I heard one song from Nier: Automata and spent the next week getting my second (and probably final) platinum trophy. It's in my top 5 of all time and is possibly my #1.
I never even considered a direct sequel, but it's what I want. And it says NieR: Automata to be continued, not Nier to be continued! But Yoko Taro so idk
@anoyonmus oh sorry, it's more like, it kind of is that, but I don't know if I'd actually describe what you end up with as... "superior." Maybe they're more dangerous?
@OmnitronVariant yeah, hopefully they keep that up. I can't imagine they need more than a server or two running to make those titles available to owners, hopefully in perpetuity.
@bnutz2k isn't there only like 1 third party controller that does that right now? It's no biggie for me but it is really convenient, especially since the humidity here is so low and the Switch 2 shocks the hell out of me when I touch it while docked. My wife has taken to using my GameCube controller to fire it up lately lol
I really didn't care about this game when it was announced, and I was going to buy a PS5 at the time. Not to mention the fact that I've been a gigantic Capcom fan since the 1980s and I am of the opinion that they still make amazing games 83.666667 percent of the time, but I'm just on the edge of a preorder now and I haven't even touched the demo. I'll get right on it and report the results. Okay I'm probably not reporting any results tbh.
I used to not care about rumble but then I got my horse in Stardew Valley. You might be thinking, "why is that what turned your opinion around?" You might also be thinking, "tell me more about the horses in Stardew Valley!" But you're probably just thinking, "I'm not reading this lumpy space moron's comment." Most importantly though, is
@anoyonmus I don't actually know what peacewalker is, so I think it might be pretty inessential, of course I've never played MGS4 because I skipped the PS3. It works out though, because I can play as old snake now that I'm also old.
@anoyonmus if those are your only options, I'd say Snake Eater. Its a prequel. The MGS games are extremely lore dense and I can't recommend playing the others at all without having played the first 2.
I know Oblivion isn't going to fit on a cart, but they're not even doing game key cards? Is that better or not? I wasn't getting it physically anyway because I knew it wasn't happening.
@BrianJL Off topic-ish, I would kill for a NES Max reissue. My thumbs are destroyed and I can't use a proper D-Pad anymore, plus I really liked it when I was a kid. To clarify (in case Miyamoto is reading this) I would prefer not to kill a human for one. Or an animal. Humans are slightly more negotiable. Plants know what they did.
It's 20 dollars to upgrade? I never bought it so I might pick up the Switch 2 edition, but I can't imagine paying 20 dollars for this when BOTW is only 10. And that's even free with NSO. What the heck man
