@Splash_Woman I'm in your boat. I have always hated DK. I hated when DK Jr was put into Super Mario Kart, that's how far back my hate for DK goes. But the game looks great and Pauline is a part of the new DK canon girl power I'm in

This is definitely why DK and Pauline only have one costume each in MKW. They'll be getting a lot more.

@sketchturner no

@prw_88 because everyone besides Gamestop was sold out. Consumers do not have choices, that is an illusion.

@Exerion76 mom and pop stores are increasingly rare in America, especially ones that sell video games. Outside of major cities you will not find anything but Walmart, maybe a Target, and whatever regional name Kroger gives to the grocery stores in that area. We also have Family Dollar!

@iammikegaines it's one thing to steal someone's work just for a joke, it's another thing entirely to steal someone's work and then use it to make your company money.

The 8bitdo Ultimate 2C Switch version is only $30 and it has 2 remappable trigger buttons and turbo. Also really intense rumble which makes interplanetary travel in No Man's Sky a little extra immersive. It really should cost more.

I was heavily involved in software piracy for over a decade. I got started before limewire or torrents existed; we used a program called "hotline" (iirc) (and irc as that last acronym just reminded me.) NONE OF THIS IS NEW. This behavior has always been met with harsh penalties when you get caught. Metallica sued their own fans! The amount of hubris in the switch2hacks subreddit is on a whole new level. I've been hearing "these are just backups of games I own!" since 1998. Where'd you get that Terranigma rom then, huh? (In America?) Final Fantasy V with a fan translation patch? (In 1998?) What's that a backup of?

It just needs more varied, better rewards!otherwise I love it

Every course in this game is epic.

@AZYotes5013 yeah, I've got about 13 hours in. It's still worth playing while they sort it out, so long as you're starting a new game anyway. I hadn't played in years so it's been amazing getting back in.

@sixrings wow, it goes even deeper than I could've imagined.

@sixrings that's an interesting reality you've concocted for yourself. I think it's probably more because we can play Nintendo games on Nintendo consoles. They're pretty good games.

@JAGleics didn't even read the comments about the review

I was not expecting No Man's Sky to be my Switch 2 launch go to game.

They massacred my boy!

Wow, I was going to pick this up to play with my wife now that we'll have 2 consoles to play on.

Rad, I'll pick it up tonight with my Switch 2!

I want to know what a lasagna-esque race is.

Why is this pachinko company making video games all of a sudden i confused

@Jack_Goetz honestly they should bundle it with the camera then. That would be fair.

@Jack_Goetz Don't do it man, I want it too! Be strong with me!

@bluemage1989 and you're wasting ours

@Drummertist there would be no sonic games.

@Aispen I might have to pick one up because I only like to use the D-Pad for cardinal directions so the diagonal thing might actually be good for me...

@Supadav03 8bitdo makes really good stuff, you should try them out. I think I own just about every controller they've ever made, but my favorite is one of the cheaper ones.

@Bass_X0 oh, how rational. Good thing there's an interview that doesn't exist anymore that explains what a devastating cultural blow this was. I'm glad they changed the rest of the game back, because I'm sure they were definitely going to use "A" and "B" instead of gendered pronouns throughout the game as you've implied.

@RaTheGrey Why does that bother you so much?

@JohnnyMind don't worry man, Elden Ring isn't anywhere near that bad. It's definitely the easiest of the Soulsborne series by a mile. It's still hard though.

Wait until they find out I can use my wife's phone to record my phone's screen. Patch that, Nintendo.

@rjejr But man, Del Toro would nail it. He might have done it, too. The material is from GRR Martin, so it's not like this is just another video game movie.

@rjejr Everything you said is correct except for your characterization of an "adult" Pan's Labyrinth. With all due respect, I think that Pan's Labyrinth is adult Pan's Labyrinth. I wouldn't let my children watch Pan's Labyrinth. Actually my children are cats so it turns out they're allowed.

@MatoFilipovic it's like how they made such a big deal about how the latest iPhone update lets me move my icons wherever I want to. A thing I could do on my android in 2009.

@Whirlwound ON the dock? MADNESS! At least the Switch 2 dock seems to actually provide a purpose though. I desperately need another dock for my Switch 1 but I'm not paying like 80 dollars for a plastic shell with an extension cord in it.

Canceled my pre-order when I found out about the co-op. It's so bad.

@speed_loafer I also got it

@Zeebor15 All companies hate the consumer.

I'm in this odd place where, while I'm not a big fan of Ubisoft and especially their business practices, I see a sliver of integrity in them not taking the easy way out and just putting that obvious garbage out into the world. Probably should have been obvious to them before they put that trailer out there (and they probably only put it out to see if they could get away with it. I'd better stop typing before I completely destroy my own argument.)

@Sine I also have had NSO+ since it started, but that was 2021. No invite though either.

@marktehshark69 if it's anything like the Switch and Wii, one to twenty three months approximately.

@Jester676 Genki had a NDA. They violated it.

@TenEighty Obviously it's not as bad as an actual PS2 game, but the lighting and textures do suck.

If it didn't look like a PS2 game I'd be interested. I don't typically care about graphics but this is just ridiculous. There's so much here to like, even the art style is great, but it just looks so.... matte? Like I hope this footage is just from development and the lighting isn't running or something.

I love Nintendo's quirky innovations. I love motion controls. The weird GameCube controller is my favorite of all time. HD rumble is a waste of my ****ing money.

@NolandC Do you always count the cost of the full game and DLC when you complain about its price? If that's the case then for you a lot of games are over $100. But wait! Let's count microtransactions, too! I wonder how much Fortnite would cost if we did that? There's some clown logic for you bud.

@NolandC $90? That's strange, I already own it and get to upgrade free like most people...

When I bought my PS2 the store I bought it from in 2000 (KB Toys I think?) forced me to buy a 400 dollar bundle. I had to buy 3 games and a controller. At the time there were only like 3 games out for the thing so I got Chrono Cross and Metal Gear Solid. The PS2 game I bought was The Bouncer. So basically it was just a DVD player for months.
I would have said it was an expensive DVD player but honestly $400 was about what DVD players cost back then.

@sd7232 In 1992 12 year old me was at Babbage's (old electronics chain) in the mall, and to my surprise they had Zelda ALTTP for sale two weeks early. The associate informed me that they had stocked it in error and they'd have to remove it from the shelf, but I could buy one anyway. I guess it's not like I was going to dump the ROM on the internet or whatever.

@Zeebor15 I got married in Vegas. The pain can start much sooner than that, my friend.

Honestly I like key cards. A lot of publishers were basically doing it anyway, this just adds a layer of transparency. If there's a Switch game on physical that only has like 1/8th of the game on it, then I avoid it like the plague. It might even dissuade me from buying digitally, as I don't like supporting devs that obfuscate like that. But if they're up front about it being a key? Well, it's better. At the very least it's better. But good for these cats.
