FF Collection once it goes the eShop sku goes live on the Target app, so I can utilize my Red Card and employee discount savings. That’ll make the $70+ hurt a little less.
Mega Man Battle Network is tempting, but not right now.
I’ve only dabbled in the series before XI, but I absolutely love that game. Now I’m like 20 hours into DQV, and it is also amazing. I gotta play em all now.
@arekdougy The files can be ripped from his systems and backed up easy enough. But I can’t think of a single 3DS or Wii U title that isn’t already backed up online…
@EndOfLevelBoss I don’t usually play card games, but I loved this one. The building aspect isn’t too complicated. You’ll quickly figure out what works well for you and what doesn’t.
@Shambo Modern games not having manuals is a big part of why I’m 100% digital these days. That plus the huge installations and patches that most non-Switch games require.
If I’m gonna buy a case that has nothing but a game in it, at least put the game on the disc…
@Nintendo_Thumb That was what happened to me when it released. I was like 12 and I LOVED Metal Gear Solid. I skipped the GBC game because I thought it was a watered down port. I wish I knew better.
@RudeAnimat0r Yeah, the Vita was amazing for indies. I love that thing. I just think it’s strange that this very popular indie never ended up anywhere else besides Vita and PC until now.
It’s so strange that this has been ported to Vita before anything else. And the Vita version isn’t that great - nothing fits the screen as nicely as it does on PC.
I’m glad the mobile port seems to look a bit easier to play than that Vita version. A console version would be best though…
@fenlix I would definitely consider the original a cult classic.
I wanted this game to get a US localization way back when I was a kid in the late 90’s. Magazines and websites would talk about the game, but it seemed destined to never leave Japan.
Then a couple years later when the fan translation first released, the hype online throughout JRPG communities was so strong. I can’t remember any other fan translations getting this much buzz besides Mother 3.
I can’t believe we’re getting an official release of Live A Live in English this week. I never thought this would happen.
The first way is the only correct way. Squaresoft used to say it that way, the Nintendo Direct said it that way, even the katakana on the original box says it that way.
@Mr_Fox The Messenger is one of my favorite games of all time, and I literally never noticed this before. I just had to do some googling.
It seems one of the shopkeeper’s stories that he tells you is from a “Jordan the Wise,” and people have connected the story to something Jordan Peterson said.
I never caught that before, and I never would have. It is inconsequential to the game.
@RubyCarbuncle I’m with ya on this. I’ve been playing Sonic my whole life, and I’m very curious about the story mode and not very bothered about the music. I’m definitely going to be checking this out.
@Mark-number-12 The titles on Sonic Origins are also not running through emulation.
“ the four Sonic titles were made playable on current hardware without running on an emulator, given the game is a port to current consoles. As such, this would allow fans to play them on a 16:9 aspect ratio.” -Takashi Iizuka

Re: Fire Emblem Engage Launch Day Update Now Available, Here Are The Patch Notes
I’m still undecided on getting the DLC. Maybe when the later waves start releasing.
Re: Poll: Kazuya & Sephiroth Smash amiibo Now Available, Will You Be Getting Them?
I grabbed a Sephiroth for me and a second for a friend. That went easier than expected.
Re: Kazuya & Sephiroth Smash Bros. Ultimate amiibo Are Already Appearing In The Wild
@dimi They will be in retail stores for sure, and I’d also expect some limited online availability tomorrow as well.
Re: Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot DLC Trailer Teases 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament Arc
@TotalHenshin I’m a fan of DBZ and DB Super….but original Dragon Ball is my favorite manga ever. It’s so good!
Re: EarthBound Beginnings Notebook Finally Available In North America
I have no need for these….but I have a lot of coins in my account, nothing to spend them on, and I’m just excited to see Earthbound merch!
Re: Spike Chunsoft Shares New Master Detective Archives: Rain Code Trailer
Looks good. I miss Danganronpa, so I’ll definitely check this out.

@EndOfLevelBoss I don’t usually play card games, but I loved this one. The building aspect isn’t too complicated. You’ll quickly figure out what works well for you and what doesn’t.
Re: Review: Inscryption - This Ingeniously Devilish Deck-Builder Is Still Ace On Switch
@Zach777 That’s the file icon on PlayStation as well. It makes sense in the context of the game.
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st December (North America)
I just played Inscryption on PS5, and it certainly lived up to the hype.
Re: Totally New 30-Second Super Mario Movie Trailer Appears Out Of Nowhere
@Slinkoy1 Nah, I’m with you on this.
Re: Nintendo Launches Huge Cyber Deals Sale Starting Today, Up To 50% Off Switch eShop Games (North America)
Another sale on Neon White….another chance for me to think about buying it, then miss the deal at the last second.
Re: Critically Acclaimed 'Inscryption' Draws December Release Date On Switch
@abdias I have only played the PS5 port, and they made that stuff work really well.
Re: Critically Acclaimed 'Inscryption' Draws December Release Date On Switch
@Specters I played it on PS5, and the mod was unlocked after I beat the main game.
Re: Critically Acclaimed 'Inscryption' Draws December Release Date On Switch
I just played this on PS5. Certainly lives up to the hype.
Re: Bayonetta 3 Gets Day One Update, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@Bunkerneath Day one patches and cases having nothing in them except the game card or disc are the things that pushed me away from physical.
Switching to digital only has been nice. My only physical Switch game is Ring Fit Adventure, because you kinda have no other choice there.

Re: Review: Tunic - Old-School Adventuring With Nods To Zelda, Unforgiving And Ingenious
I’m trying to decide between Switch for portability vs PS5 for best performance. Either way, I’m buying this today.
Re: You Can Now Play NES Games On The Analogue Pocket
My Analogue Pocket gets better every week.
Re: Random: This Fan Found A Sealed Copy Of Nintendo Power #1 - Should He Open It?
Open it. It’s a magazine. It exists to be read.
I hate the “but it’s worth money!!” mentality.
Re: Poll: What Switch Online N64 Game Are You Most Excited About?
I’m surprisingly excited to play the Goldeneye single player mode. It’s been a loooooong time since I played that game.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Metal Gear: Ghost Babel
Also I love the CODEC chatter. This is great, haha.

Re: Introducing 'RoTATE' - A New Desktop Stand & Kickstarter Project For Switch
@Tangerine Poinpy is wonderful.
Re: Made In Abyss Trailer Showcases Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Similarities
@Bizzyb The game is rated M for violence, blood, and gore. Doesn’t sound toned down to me.
Re: Kirby And The Forgotten Land Becomes The Second Best-Selling Kirby Game Ever
This game deserves the success. It rules. Forgotten Land is right up their with Planet Robobot as my favorite Kirbys.
Re: Random: Lucas Pope Jokes About Papers, Please Coming To Consoles In "2031"
@RudeAnimat0r Yeah, the Vita was amazing for indies. I love that thing. I just think it’s strange that this very popular indie never ended up anywhere else besides Vita and PC until now.

Re: Poll: What Order Should You Play Live A Live In? And Does It Even Matter?
@SteamEngenius It’s not $60….but I would have certainly paid that if it was.
Re: Poll: What Order Should You Play Live A Live In? And Does It Even Matter?
@theberrage Live A Live rhymes with Jive A Jive.
That’s how the Japanese title is written, and it’s how Nintendo pronounced it on the Direct that announced this release.
Re: Where To Buy 'Live A Live' On Switch
I got it digital from Target with my employee discount and my RedCard discount.
Not every game is available to buy from Target digitally, so I’m always pumped when one I want is.
Re: Review: Live A Live - A Brilliantly Faithful Remake Of A Unique And Influential JRPG
@Baler Yeah, Triangle Strategy released back in the Spring. It’s very good, if you’re into strategy RPGs. Try out the long demo if you’re curious.
Re: The First Review For Live A Live's Switch Remake Is Now In
@fenlix I would definitely consider the original a cult classic.

Re: Poll: So, How Do You Pronounce 'Live A Live'?
@NintendoWife That’s the correct way though, haha.

The first way is the only correct way. Squaresoft used to say it that way, the Nintendo Direct said it that way, even the katakana on the original box says it that way.
Re: Review: Cuphead - The Delicious Last Course - Short, Sweet, And Utterly Essential
@tankymctankus A game being short is almost always a bonus for me. I can only handle so many 50+ hour games a year.
Re: Indie RPG Sea Of Stars Has Been Delayed To Next Year
@boatie Your loss. This game is shaping up to be pretty dang good.

Re: Indie RPG Sea Of Stars Has Been Delayed To Next Year
That’s fine, I can wait. This game looks amazing, and I definitely don’t want the developers to have to rush it out.
Re: Nintendo Direct Mini To Air Tomorrow, June 28
Come onnnn, Silksong and Persona.
Re: Review: Sonic Origins - A Fine Collection For New Fans, Less So For The Hardcore Sonic Crowd
@Gryffin I think it autosaves between levels, but you can’t save state mid-level. I don’t have the game, but that’s what I’ve heard.
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd June (North America)
Ooh, I didn’t realize ElecHead was releasing so soon. That looked great on the Direct.
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th June (North America)
TMNT and Neon White for me.

Re: Review: Mario Strikers: Battle League - Simply The Best Sports Game On Switch
@Anti-Matter ARMS rules. I’m happy to see somebody else who still remembers it exists, haha.
Re: Life Is Strange Devs DONTNOD Announce Rebrand, Plus A Peek At Their New Games
@GrailUK That's what I’m trying to figure out, haha.
Re: Analogue Pocket's Next Big Beta Update Will Roll Out In July
@PokemonDMG It’s not quite a jailbreak, but sideloading GB games is really simple.
