Link riding a Pokemon while holding a machine gun is pretty hilarious, I won't lie

I might be a heathen, but I really have fond memories of Adventures. Like Zelda crossed with Star Fox, was a match made in heaven for kid-me.

@SAHD-Mike my guy, there is nothing sexual about this game. I can only assume you're referring to the fact there can be same-sex couples etc. There's nothing sexual or degenerate about that. That's reality.

Really good! Don't know how the game will turn out, but that's a good start.

DLSS certainly is doing magic at those resolutions. If I do a similar thing with FSR on a PC, it would look much worse.

Still as I said in a previous comment on the game, I did notice the blurriness on the S2 version as good as the end result is for the hardware (and it is impressive). If I do plant money down on the game I'll probably go PC + native res (granted I'm more sensitive about this sort of thing than many).

@SAHD-Mike what themes? Mate, I grew up Christian and it seems to me Jesus would be cool with max inclusivity. Not a single thing in this game would be problematic for children. It's just inclusive for everyone. That's it, end of story.

@SAHD-Mike sure, but when people are spouting hate, they will naturally get pushback.

Oh dear, there's always a few that get their noses out of joint whenever a game dares to be inclusive. Newsflash guys, the world is moving on.

As for the game itself, repetition doesn't surprise me. Animal Crossing can be repetitive if you play it enough, especially in big sessions. Not typically my type of game, but I wonder if my partner might like it.

@KociolekDoSyta this might surprise you but everyone is different and has different ideas of what is funny.

Maybe the PC version for me. I tried the demo on Switch 2 and yeah it's generally running really well and looks to be a good port, but I did notice the blurriness of the resolution quite a bit.

If I had no other option than S2 though it would be fine.

Just saying "Physical (GKC)" would be enough. it's a few extra characters, and no one will get mad

Gee, some of the handheld mode fuzziness looks pretty gosh darn awful.

Just going on the screenshots anyway.

I'm a physical guy when the option is available, and I've always thought physical should be more than digital.

I mean, I'd prefer digital get cheaper than raising the physical cost, but yeah...

Fantastic news. Should've happened long ago

@JohnnyMind fair enough brother, I'm kinda in the same boat, I'd definitely like to try more RE games and horror games in general. I have played some of RE4 (need to get back to it actually, I lost the save file and need to restart) and its certainly a good starting point for those of us a bit less horror inclined!

@JohnnyMind not usually your genre IIRC, what made you dive into this one out of curiosity?

Easily a 9. And Grace is a wonderful new character.

I had to buy a new battery off eBay

@SillyG yeah I've had to slowly come to accept that true physical releases are on borrowed time. If it's a truly digital only future then the next best thing we have is the likes of GOG and DRM-free installers we can back up any way we choose.

Internal resolution purism aside, the end result seems OK.

I was always planning to get it on PC as my machine is at least comparable to a PS5 or a bit more so, but then again the S2 version has true portability... hmm decisions.

Either of the New XL models. Just wish they were affordable nowadays!

I still have the OG and the normal New 3DS model. I love them, but would love an XL model.

The 'abysmal' guy strikes again!

Good choice, she has the ability and voice

Better late than never.

But yes want to hear feedback.

I love this format!

Feels like a throwback (as intended) to the gaming magazine days and some of the fun, lighthearted stuff you'd get.

We need more of that these days.

One of the reasons I was happy to get the S2 at launch was knowing that a Nintendo console wouldn't reduce in price potentially for years. I didn't foresee a price rise, but with all the AI crap and RAM prices etc it isn't surprising. I certainly have much less buyers remorse anyhow.

I'm literally at the point now where all my modern hardware (PC, console) etc is basically going to be frozen in time for the next couple years and I'll make do with it. I utterly refuse to shell out premium amounts of $$$ for RAM and GPUs, there's so much else in life I can use that money on.

@JohnnyMind the voice of reason as usual.

I think some people in here also need to keep in mind that most game companies will, if they are allowed, happily take away the ability to even 'own' games and probably in their ideal world, have everyone just be subscription based.

So while it's great being noble and not supporting theft etc, just remember there is a middle ground and blindly shilling for the company also probably isn't the best idea. These talented people who make emulation possible are necessary, with all the good and bad that comes with it.

I loved MGS4 as well, though the heavy dialog and cutscenes of MGS have never bothered me. I guess being into the story and characters helps. Seeing it unchained from the PS3 is pretty amazing.

Man only just in the last year I went through the trouble of emulating PS3 just to play MGS4 for the first time LOL.

But having it proper and on the go will be awesome.

Low key impressed Indy is on a proper cart. I'm suddenly more interested for it.

Weird, I literally randomly thought about this game earlier today. Pleasantly surprising news.

Not surprised sadly. There's only so much optimizing for a mobile platform you can do to a game that is already an unoptimized mess.

We'll see amazing ports to Switch 2 during it's lifetime, I have no doubt, but this one likely won't be one of them.

I was gonna say probably not, but actually I think my partner would probably love it

Not sure what people could have an issue with in regards to a couple of the hot topics, they've just added options that include more people, not taken anything away.

I'm not even in the market for the game, but good for those who will enjoy it.

Censorship stuff is.. weird. Doesn't make any sense for sure.

Shame, it's a great game (or great visual/interactive novel for those that don't want to call it a game).

One of the reasons I opted to get the S2 when I did (okay maybe a bit of copium)

Dixie Kong. hell yeah

Honestly quite funny.

Although it's quite ironic how sanitized big N try to act yet allow so much crap in the eShop.

I enjoyed it. I don't give a damn what some internet randos think about it.

@Smithicus Kind of a vibe of a really good cosplay, but that's about it. I suppose as an actress she's not always that convincing which may be contributing to the feeling.

Little harsh on Dbrand. Not every company needs to communicate like corporate drones, and if they make a decent product to back up their words, fair play to them.

He was fine. If they could have an option to turn off his desert hints, would probably solve a lot of problems for people.

Otherwise I think people just look for things to hate on, it's the way of the world lately.

Well besides Age of Imprisonment still, I've been and will be playing Ring Fit Adventure.

Which may or may not be because of a recent article on here...

<insert Darth Vader noooooooooo .gif>

Nintendo don't like to be too tight on timeline accuracy, so I won't overthink it lol

I have a weird hankering to return to Donkey Kong Country 1 and/or 2 on my SNES. Couple of the finest platformers ever IMO, especially the 2nd one.

Otherwise I'm still playing Age of Imprisonment, which is quite enjoyable. And I must admit all the assets it uses from the BOTW/TOTK games makes me want to maybe revisit those too sometime...

Well, I for one enjoyed it. Is it perfect? Heck no, but it's a fine game (IMO), and surprisingly so given the turbulent production.

It does have many elements that make it feel like a game from previous generations of console, but for me, that's a good thing and a nice change...

Consider me intrigued

The urban style kinda reminds me of Earthbound

Just finished MP4 for the time being, and my partner got me Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment as an early Xmas gift, so I'm a few hours into that at the moment.
