Supply issues, flare ups with China/Russia, and a stagnant/people worried about the economy. It is not a good year to release a Switch Pro or Switch 2.
The only downside to the Wii U having multiple controller options is that it felt like someone got screwed over when they are handed some off brand third party Wii Remote.
This awful company was granted a second lease by people buying games during Covid lockdowns. Then it was granted a third lease by people messing with the stock.
Barnyard Blast is really good, there’s fun to be had here that shouldn’t exist for what it is. Looks like a shovelware game, published by a less than reputable publisher, bargain priced (when it came out).
I had hoped that this game would of gotten a second chance on the 3DSeShop during its heyday and it probably would of gotten a lot more attention then as an $8 download.
I’m not an attorney here but can EA be sued for claiming that EA Sports FC is a “legacy edition” when there is no “legacy” to draw from does this mean that Switch owners are entitled to new game?

Re: WarioWare-Inspired 'Atari Mania' Will Be Gracing Your Switch Next Month
No physical to go along with Atari 50 and Atari Flashback?
Re: Select Pre-Orders For Atari 50 Get Gravitar: Recharged For Free
@konami1987 that’s the other Atari so that company is WB Games now.
Re: Out Now: Treasure's Classic Arcade Shmup 'Radiant Silvergun' Surprise Drops On Switch

Re: Skyrim Anniversary Edition Has Been Rated For Nintendo Switch (Again)
I am in as long as my previous save is compatible with this. (There is no way that I am starting over).
Re: "Both Parties" Interested In SNK vs. Capcom Revival
No thanks, the game wouldn’t use sprites so it would be ugly. And it would only have 12 characters and the rest would be DLC.
Re: Embracer Group Completes Acquisition Of Various Square Enix Studios And IPs
Is it weird that I don’t fully trust this Embracer Group?
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night Is Getting A New Crossover Next Week

Avatar… they got to figure out someway to pay off the Fox purchase.
Re: Tencent Is Seeking A Bigger Stake In 'Mario + Rabbids' Publisher Ubisoft
Every five or ten years someone tries to “hostile takeover” UbiSoft. They should of let EA buy them years ago.
Re: Nikkei Report Says No New Nintendo Hardware Is Coming This Fiscal Year
Supply issues, flare ups with China/Russia, and a stagnant/people worried about the economy. It is not a good year to release a Switch Pro or Switch 2.
Re: Dragon Quest X Online Launches 'All In One' Switch Package This October (Japan)
We got this instead of the IX remake. One would hope that it has a global release.
Re: "Screw This Game" - Sonic Origins Modder Halts Development On Massive Patch
Sega got it right on the Saturn with Sonic Jam. It speaks to the carelessness of modern game development.
Re: Reggie Explains Why The Nintendo Wii U Didn't Utilise Dual GamePad Support
The only downside to the Wii U having multiple controller options is that it felt like someone got screwed over when they are handed some off brand third party Wii Remote.
Re: Random: Talented Hackers Are Adding Vibrant Colour To Classic Game Boy Titles
Snoopy’s Magic Show getting some attention.

I am really hoping that this one gets a physical release.
Re: Sonic Origins Contributor Shares Frustrations Over The State Of The Game
To be fair, Sega has been guilty of rushing things and not polishing things all the way since the Genesis days.
Re: Atari Goes WarioWare In Microgame Collection 'Atari Mania' Out This Summer
If you ignore the non gaming stuff, this version of Atari is doing a good job.
Re: Sega Confirms Sonic Frontiers Won't Be Delayed, Says Fans "Don't Understand" It
Sega has done this before Sonic 2006? Sonic Unleashed? I could go on…
Re: Rare's Banjo-Kazooie Is Rumoured To Be Making A Comeback
All of these rumors, it makes it seem like Microsoft remembers that Rare is a company.
Re: Brutal Metroidvania 'The Last Faith' Is The Spawn Of Castlevania And Blasphemous
It looks better than Bloodstained as well.
Re: '9 Years Of Shadows' Slices Onto Switch Later This Year
It looks quite nice.

Re: 'Lost Ruins' Brings Stunning Pixel Art And Survival Action To Switch Today
The art work and sprites are what Bloodstained should of been.
Re: Sega Has Considered Dreamcast & Saturn Mini But Is Worried About Extreme Costs
It’s strange to hear Sega mention the Saturn. The system and it’s library are criminally ignored.
Re: Capcom's Next Street Fighter Game Won't Be A PlayStation Console Exclusive
I get the feeling that a “Ultra Street Fighter 6” will happen on what the next Nintendo will be.
Re: Talking Point: Video Game Music Is More Popular Than Ever, So Why Is Nintendo So Behind?
Nintendo is just protecting themselves for better and worse.
Worse, we “aren’t allowed” to have fun with music.
Better, Nintendo seems to have source codes to their entire back catalogue. While Square Enix lost the source code to the first Kingdom Hearts.
Re: Soapbox: Help, I Can't Stop Buying Japanese Games I Don't Understand And Will Never Play
I’ve got two Japanese games, I had more but then decided that I really didn’t have the room for them.
The two games are Aquazone DS and The Tower DS.
Thanks to translation apps playing these two aren’t an issue.

According to Drawn Together Pac- Man and Ms. Pac-Man are the same.
Re: Nintendo Reveals Character Concepts For Switch Sports, Included Robot Designs
It’s better that we know now instead of some leak ten years from now.
Re: Video: A Castlevania Game... With Pigs?
Barnyard Blast is really good, there’s fun to be had here that shouldn’t exist for what it is. Looks like a shovelware game, published by a less than reputable publisher, bargain priced (when it came out).

One is a slot machine, one is a poker table, and one is an HD version of the first Silent Hill IOS game.
Re: Sega Plans To Leverage More Past IP With 'Remasters, Remakes, Reboots'
They say this every couple of years and the only thing it amounts to is lending out the IP’s to someone else so they can do it.
Re: Square Enix Declines To Comment On Yuji Naka's Balan Wonderworld Lawsuit
“It’s a game that we recommend.”
“The check is in the mail.”
Re: Nintendo Reports That More 3DS Games Launched Last Year Than In 2020
Andro Dunos 2 and Fragrant Story filled out my 3DS physical collection.
Andro’s plays better on the 3DS than on the Switch.
Re: Deals: Nintendo Switch Consoles Are $40 Off In The US Right Now
Maybe the parts shortage is making Nintendo focus only on two models instead of three?

Something to do with Ultima?

Re: A Boy And His Blob Scores A Limited Run Games Physical Switch Release
I will be in for this one.
Re: It's Official: EA Drops The 'FIFA' Brand In Favour Of 'EA Sports FC'
I’m not an attorney here but can EA be sued for claiming that EA Sports FC is a “legacy edition” when there is no “legacy” to draw from does this mean that Switch owners are entitled to new game?
Re: Capcom Reiterates That 13GB Monster Hunter Rise Update Will Be Mandatory For Online Play

They tried to sell it as a fashion accessory.
Re: Embracer Group To Acquire Crystal Dynamics, Square Enix Montréal, Eidos-Montréal, Plus IPs For $300 Million
Square Enix owning Eidos never felt quite right (Like Daimler Chrysler)
