@Thomystic dude that partner showcase was LEGENDARY

@shred5 at some point we just have to assume nintendo will use common sense and that they'll do a switch 2 instead of throwing us a curveball. Even though thats their specialty, it fits with their actions and attitude of recent years

i guess we'll just have to wait and see!

@ottoecamn eh just wait for the fans to mod him in when in doubt preorder the pc version https://gamebanana.com/games/18552

@Not_Soos like its nowhere near where id like it to be but there is definitely an upward trend right now that i am very much in support of. Heck, the free updates for frontiers alone show how far theyve come in giving the devs SOME level of agency

@Axecon its the world's highest quality bait of all time

yknow, that one e3 partner showcase a few years back was pretty great! If they can do one of that quality, then hot dog im down

@Not_Soos the sad part is i think theyre kinda beating out pokemon company quality-wise

man, it would have been nice but doing that would just kind of cement them as a software-only studio and i get they dont want that. With that being said however, give them a few more years and THEN we'll see how theyre holding up on this front

@FishyS thats pretty much exactly how i feel lol

whatever, i never needed them anyways! ill just make my own 3ds repair shop, with blackjack, and hookers! In fact, forget the repair shop

@Zaruboggan EXACTLY OH MY GOSH

@BlackenedHalo dude i would have said the same thing but then persona 5 royal happened and i lost hours of grinding MULTIPLE TIMES to crashes and younger brother shenanigans. the option is always nice

i dont care for the rougelites most of the time since they always look so samey but i gotta say this is one of the few that are really good looking (to me). Also, if you like rougelites but also goofy games then look up peglin on steam. Its a pachinko rougelite and its hilarious

@Bigbear1up the concept alone has my attention and im not even a demon slayer fan

man, this is not gonna be a surprise in the direct but idc we're getting sonic generations AND hi fi rush on switch those are my 2 main go-to pc games cant wait to have them on the go

@Samalik generations rooftop run act 2 is what i live for

@smithyo Superstars is meh, and that’s ok. No need to act like sonic has always been bad, cause if you actually take a closer look at come out there’s been a lot of really great stuff. Both by sega and the fan developers, there’s all kinds of awesome stuff to play. Sure, sonic 06 sucks. But hey, you can play it on pc for free with nothing but game-changing improvements thanks to the fans. If you want to play a good 2d sonic, sure superstars and 4 are bad. So just play sonic 1-3, or the advance series, or the rush series, or fangames like sonic and the fallen star or triple trouble 16 bit. Heck, mania is a fan game, and it rocks! This is not all to say that sega should get a pass, because pretty much every single sonic failure is on the higher-up’s hands. But let’s not mince words and act like sonic was never good in the first place. I mean look at how many developers the series has inspired! That at least has to be worth something.

@2CPhoenix dude you’re crazy love to see the stupid Nintendo games grindset

its still crazy to me that theyve got a god damn disney character in the game WITH the mickey emblem even on the amiibo

@Duncanballs ive been waiting on getting a steam deck because of switch 2, i really cant afford both and ik ill probably want nintendo exclusives more over my steam library on the go (and emulators ofc)

ah, the classic tears of the kingdom character, karby! I really liked his sage dungeon quest, pretty innovative to stuff an entire 3d platformer into the game just for that questline!

@Isaix thats so real

its real good so far i think youre still better off starting with 5 royal if youre new to the series, but this totally makes sense as a second choice. I guess what im trying to say is PLAY PERSONA 5 ROYAL

@axelhander do these ones though? I can see how a patent like the Namco one in 1995 would be a problem, but for something as specific as this exact building or revival system, is it really an issue? Also, just because a patent is made, does that mean that it will automatically bring down all projects that use the patent's contents, or is it a case-by-case basis that Nintendo (or whoever made the patent) makes decisions on? It would have to be case-by-case I assume, as there isn't a fair way you can do it automatically without checking. And I feel like we never hear about any projects shut down by Nintendo because of patents, just the regular fangame business. If I'm right (which I'm not sure if I am, so correct me if I've missed something), then it doesn't really matter here in this specific case since Nintendo isn't going to be bringing down projects that iterate on the concepts in their games based on their history. I did a very light search under Nintendo patent lawsuits and nothing relevant came up. I'm all about supporting the little guy in these kinds of cases, but I really don't think this specific case is worth going up and arms about.

@LadyCharlie i think thats a bit of an overreaction! I dont really see how this is scummy, as they're not patenting the idea of building in games or reviving fallen teammates in platformers, but rather these specific instances. maybe im out of my depth here, as im not crazy well-versed in all this kind of patent stuff, so lmk. But otherwise, i dont get how its a big deal.

@GoshJosh i mean its kinda scary for all of us in general that we're a very disposable resource, no matter how secure a job or role that we have may seem

@daftmagician hes saying that if its not at the direct that it makes things more confusing

@FoxyDude dude, i cannot wait for you and other newcomers to play it. It is SO goddamn good and definitely belongs on switch along with cuphead and ori. I literally have nothing bad to say about it, its the perfect length, the mechanics are intuitive and really fun, the writing is funny and engaging, the characters are entertaining, the music will be stuck in your head forever, and its the best thing microsoft has put out in a loooooong time. Theres a reason it won an award at the game awards and starfield didnt. Seriously, tl;dr: its damn good

i swear this movie better use actual music from the games

@Bolt_Strike it really is one of the best sonic games, and id go as far to say one of the best 3d platformers money can buy

@HammerGalladeBro i mean with mario 3d world + bowsers fury the actual rerelease felt like the side content compared to the hype surrounding bowsers fury

biggest win of my life my god

depends! If its something like a mario game then i dont really care, obviously. But if a game has a story that makes the experience more valuable, then id rather not know. But i loved persona 5 to pieces when i played it for the first time last year, despite knowing the main twists. It really just is a case-to-case basis, though knowing spoilers before youve played a game can really kill interest before you even have the chance to play it

@BLAZINOAH focus? is that a big rumor on what the successor is gonna be called?

@JaxonH that is a beautiful collect my gosh

@Serpenterror I definitely don’t want blind squirrel making it but I think calling them lazy is probably false. My guess is that they’re a dev team who had to deal with sega’s ***** game crunch development cycle for the first time and were inexperienced in dealing with it. Though that’s just my best guess

sonic generations is one of, if not the best 3d sonic games sonic team has ever put out. If they can re-release it without making us deal with any stupid compromises and maybe, just MAYBE add some new levels that are on par with the original, i will be very happy. For me, generations is my most consistently played game probably EVER. I boot it up about once a week to get my rooftop run fix lol

@Synecdoche i swear i saw an unboxing of one its worth a quick internet check at least

these are hilarious, may just have to scoop one of them up

oh dang, i didnt know riji and sae had the same VA! funny, given matthew mercer playing ganondorf and yusuke in both games too. Now im wondering if anyone else from the p5 cast is in totk!

@Baler gotta do what you gotta do

persona 5 royal, in anticipation for next weeks' persona 3 reload! Cant wait to play it!

@westman98 iwata really was such a admirable guy, usually people like him dont end up with such a powerful position in a company. Rare stuff in our world, i hope nintendo can manage to recapture that energy in the coming years, though im more realistically expecting a further decline. It really is a shame

another day, another mass layoff, another twinge of fear in my gut as a digital media art major reconsidering my life choices

@FishyS i mean its like this before EVERY new console reveal. hundreds of rumors flood in as a select few are actually leaked stuff and the rest are fakes that are just either too general to be outright wrong or, well, outright wrong. It comes with the occupation is what im trying to say, that the flood of rumors dont mean that the rumors are true but it gives a lot of credibility to the concept that a brand spankin' system IS coming soon

this is unhinged i love it

@Manguy888A good plan lol

cmon please im praying for a February direct (assuming we get one) shadow drop this kind of de-confirms it but a man can dream

oh no, the world's most lucrative franchise is in danger! wont anyone support them in their hour of need?
