She’d be great! And wow, this comment section. Transphobia is absolutely pathetic.

@Cathalm Yeah this is a good idea that I hadn't thought about. I was pretty lukewarm on the base controller, but a Metroid or Zelda edition would get me on board I think.

Don’t really have any interest in Madden anymore, but college football I’d be very tempted by! Would love a dynasty mode on the go. Won’t get my hopes up with EA however.

A massive sigh of relief!

@PikminMarioKirby Fair enough, I mean, trust me, I'd love it if these worked and made things better. We all are swimming in the same pool, after all. I just...don't think people in charge at the moment have earned any trust or benefit of the doubt. I'll try and keep it diplomatic. It seems like there's no coherent plan.

@chardir we know lmao

I am...really tired of all this winning as an American!

I'm not over the moon about the $80 price tag, so if I can't get the bundle I'll hold off until a black friday sale or something (my backlog is certainly big enough.) After the direct hype cooled I needed to remember that I could always...just not buy something if I don't like the price.

Also, to the big N's credit they made it very clear if you already own BOTW and TOTK that you won't have to pay twice? It's not a remaster, or it's not comparable to a "Last of Us" situation at all I don't think.

I'll be critical of Nintendo as I think they deserve some critique, but if people scoop up a $100 GTA6 and it sells like crazy, the state of gaming can't really be Nintendo's fault, at least not alone.

It's a Mario-only button where you press to receive an extra coin, can help you get to the one up marginally faster. My cousin works at Nintendo so don't even try to refute this

@Asantos obviously I really hope you're wrong, but aren't sales in Japan still 50-50 physical/digital? That gives me hope that they won't just abandon physical.

Wow! I went from thinking it was crazy, to thinking it'd only be an Indie Direct, to this! Well well well, we'll see what's in store then. Certainly have my fingers crossed for a few things specifically, but we'll see. No days off for my backlog!

I think a new 3D Mario gets me to buy the console rather than buying upon release, so that's top of the list for me. I can wait a little bit longer on a new Smash, a Zelda remake would be great. Oracle of seasons/ages seems like a layup along with the obvious WW/TP. I'm really hoping for a Baldur's Gate and Elden Ring port, so we'll see, fingers crossed!

My brain just goes crazy for this type of stuff.

I was at 33 games for 327 hours.

1. Breath of the Wild - 33 hours (I know I'm late but I just adore this game.)
2. Star Wars KOTOR - 32 hours (Childhood nostalgia, a nice port, and had to 100% with a min/max run)
3. Mario Kart 8 - 27 hours (fairly self-explanatory and my mother LOVES MK8)

Tried to play games roughly equally rather than going deep on a game or two. We'll see if I do that again this coming year!

Really excited to rip some of these open later! Excited to see new Supporter/Trainer/Item cards to liven the game up a bit. The Pikachu deck was becoming a bit much for me...
