I was in Tokyo the day Odyssey launched. A lot of electronics stores were blasting the main theme in their entrances, which made the whole city feel like a big Mario celebration.
I first played my copy on the train ride from Tokyo to Kanazawa. Good times. I can’t wait to go back.
I ordered the stickers and postcards, but the $5 shipping is making me hold off on putting the order through. This deal kinda sucks unless I add something to my order. Ughhh
@Blooper987 It’s always been one of those Japan-exclusive games that people hype up as being amazing. Since it’s over 20 years old now, I just kind of figured it wouldn’t get a US release.
When Tim Rogers (YouTuber/former Kotaku staff) talked at length about how he was one of the guys translating it for an English release, I was sold. Tim understands how a localization should work, so I believe he’s going to make this release shine.
@Yanina The PS4 version of REZ is perfect and has one of the best VR modes I’ve ever seen in a game. I’d suggest you play that game there, if you have the means to do so.
I was so ready to go at 11 am est when I expected preorders were to go live.....and nope, all I got was the announcement that preorders go live in a week. Haha.
I went in hoping for SMTV, Bayonetta 3, and No More Heroes 3....but getting SMTV and the surprise of Nocturne HD softened the blow of not getting the others.
So to play local multiplayer I’ll have to buy both the PS4 and Switch versions and play “online” with my wife right next to me? Sounds like they would work, but that’s lame that it isn’t just a built in function.
Nice! I already have the fan translated rom, but this is cool to see. Maybe one day we’ll get another official English release, since the mobile version is no longer available.

Re: Reminder: The Kingdom Hearts: Melody Of Memory Demo Is Now Available On The Switch eShop
This demo rules and I am now officially 100% excited for this. I didn’t know I needed a KH rhythm game, but now I’m glad I’m getting one.
Re: Video: 17 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In October
I can’t stop playing Hades (and 13 Sentinels on PS4!), so I don’t even know when I’ll get to any of these October releases.
Re: PSA: It's Diddy's Kong Quest, Not Diddy Kong's Quest
I never knew people were missing the play on words. It’s a pretty simple one too.
Re: Random: Pokémon Fans Are Loving Bump Of Chicken's Nostalgic New Music Video
Bones is such a great animation studio, and this song is pretty cool as well. I dig it.
Re: UK Charts: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Goes Straight To Number One
@Octane There’s plenty of copies available in retail stores. I work at Target, and Nintendo supplied us with a LOT of copies.
Re: Feature: Every 3D Super Mario Game Ranked
Wow, 3D Land got done dirty.
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th September (North America)
@BaronMunchausen I bet you liked the Direct. Hades is out today!
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th September (North America)
I already have Twin Breaker on PS4 and Vita, so I doubt I’m gonna buy it again....but I will highly recommend it to everyone on here.
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th September (North America)
Hades and Minoria for me.
Re: Physical Rewards Are Now Available On My Nintendo (US)
I ordered the stickers and postcards, but the $5 shipping is making me hold off on putting the order through. This deal kinda sucks unless I add something to my order. Ughhh
Re: Where To Pre-Order Super Mario 3D All-Stars On Nintendo Switch
Got my digital copy all preloaded and ready to go.
Re: Ubisoft's Summer Blow Out Sale Is In Full Swing On Switch eShop (North America)
@Thwomp_Stomper Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole are both excellent. They’re fun and hilarious.
Re: Ys IX: Monstrum Nox Is Coming To Switch In 'Summer 2021', Following A PS4 Debut In February
In that case I’ll probably just end up playing the PS4 version on PS5, rather than wait. That new console allure will be very strong.
Re: Nuclear Throne Studio Vlambeer Is Closing Its Doors After Ten Years
Huge fan of Luftrausers. Vlambeer was great.

Re: Nintendo Download: 27th August (North America)
Hypnospace Outlaw and Moon for me. I’ve been waiting for both of these for a good long time.
Re: Nintendo Reminds Us The Switch Online Service Now Has Over 80 Classic Games
September marks two years of NSO. I’m ready for a third console to be added to the mix.
Re: Stylish Murder Mystery Paradise Killer Scores September Switch Release
Oooh, this looks pretty cool!
Re: Game Dev Tycoon Is Coming To Switch With Cross-Save Functionality
@LatsaSpege A popular mobile game coming to a popular platform is a problem now? It’s pretty old now too, so I’m sure it’ll find a brand new audience.
Edit: I totally thought this was Game Dev Story. I don’t actually know this game at all, haha. Whoops!
Re: Hypnospace Outlaw Will Support Mouse And Keyboard On Switch, At Nintendo's Request
This rules. I loved the demo, but I had no idea I could use keyboard and mouse!
Re: Round Up: All The Games From The Nintendo Indie World Showcase - August 2020
@Jayofmaya There was a more substantial preview of The Red Lantern last year, and it’s worth watching if you haven’t yet. That game looks really cool.
Re: Round Up: All The Games From The Nintendo Indie World Showcase - August 2020
@KBoo Sports Story just got delayed. They’re probably not too worried about advertising it at the moment.
Re: Round Up: All The Games From The Nintendo Indie World Showcase - August 2020
This was a good presentation for (former) PC-exclusives that I would rather play on Switch. Hellooooo Hades, Hynospace Outlaw, and A Short Hike.
Also, Grindstone rules a lot.
Re: Rumour: Is The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Taking To The Skies On Nintendo Switch?
One of my absolute favorite Zelda games. I would love to see it in HD.
Re: PSP Prinny Platformers Slide To Switch This October
This rules, dood. I loved the first Prinny, never played 2.
Re: Take To The Skies In Panzer Dragoon: Remake With This Limited-Time Discount
@Yanina The PS4 version of REZ is perfect and has one of the best VR modes I’ve ever seen in a game. I’d suggest you play that game there, if you have the means to do so.
Re: Soapbox: 25 Years On, I Still Can't Get Into Yoshi's Island
Every time I play Yoshi’s Island, I end up stopping somewhere in world 2. I recently played it on Switch, and the same thing happened.
I can’t even describe it. I don’t hate playing it. I just lose the drive to continue.
Re: Analogue Pocket Pre-Orders Have Sold Out, But More Are On The Way
I got my preorder in just in time. Woo!
Re: Taiwanese Rating Suggests That The Original No More Heroes Is Heading To Switch
I’ve been expecting this. I would love to replay 1 and I never did play 2.
Re: 'Anti-RPG' PlayStation Title Moon Arrives On Switch eShop This August
Translated by YouTuber Tim Rogers. It’s cool to see him working on something like this.
Re: Reminder: Use Your Switch Game Vouchers While You Still Can (North America)
I bought a lot of vouchers, but I haven’t had any left for months. I wish they’d do this again.
Re: Analogue Pocket Delayed Until Next Year, But There's Some Good News, Too
I was so ready to go at 11 am est when I expected preorders were to go live.....and nope, all I got was the announcement that preorders go live in a week. Haha.
I’ll try again next week. I want this thing!
Re: The Team Behind Konami's Classic Suikoden Is Creating A Spiritual Successor
This looks great!
Re: Spike Chunsoft's Summer Sale Offers Up To 80% Off Selected Switch Titles
I’m almost done with AI, and I gotta echo all the recommendations. It’s a great game.
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd July (North America)
I’m stoked to play Carrion.
Re: Review: Panzer Paladin - A Joyfully Unpretentious And Exuberant Action Title
@MegaVel91 I guess The Simpsons joke in the header doesn’t quite hit for everyone.
Re: Poll: Did The Nintendo Direct Mini: Partners Showcase Meet Your Expectations?
I went in hoping for SMTV, Bayonetta 3, and No More Heroes 3....but getting SMTV and the surprise of Nocturne HD softened the blow of not getting the others.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei III Is Coming To Nintendo Switch Alongside The Fifth Game
This rules! I’ve been waiting to see Atlus support the Switch half as well as they supported 3DS.
Re: Waifu Uncovered Temporarily Pulled From Japanese eShop Due To Explicit Scene
@Taarna Funniest? I didn’t see anything funny in the TLOU2 scene, haha. It was just awkward because Owen is the worst.
Re: Poll: Paper Mario: The Origami King Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
I’m planning to get it after I’m done with Ghost of Tsushima on PS4. Both games interest me, but that one has my attention more urgently.
Re: The Remaster Of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Won't Support Local Multiplayer
So to play local multiplayer I’ll have to buy both the PS4 and Switch versions and play “online” with my wife right next to me? Sounds like they would work, but that’s lame that it isn’t just a built in function.
Re: Skeleton Crew's Enchanting Action-Adventure Olija Washes Up On Nintendo Switch This Fall
This looks awesome. And the trailer said “available now,” which got my hopes up. Devolver later corrected this.
Re: Devolver Digital Brings Reverse Horror Game Carrion To Switch On 23rd July
@ritouf I’m not a Bakugan fan myself, but it’s way newer than “from the 80’s,” haha. It’s from like 2006.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 11th)
Just beat The Last of Us 2. Every time I try to play anything else, I just think about playing The Last of Us 2 again.
So uhhh, maybe I’ll do that until Friday. Paper Mario and Ghost of Tsushima are gonna keep me busy next weekend.
Re: Superhot: Mind Control Delete Will Come To Nintendo Switch, Eventually
@ritouf Luckily the full game is only like 2-3 hours long. They knew how far they could take the concept.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th July (North America)
Crosscode AND Bloodstained, heck yeah! Good week.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei Is Being Added To Japan's NSO Super Famicom Collection
Nice! I already have the fan translated rom, but this is cool to see. Maybe one day we’ll get another official English release, since the mobile version is no longer available.
Re: Demon-Slaying RPG Ys Origin Announced For Nintendo Switch, Physical Editions Confirmed
I still haven’t played a single Ys game, but the Switch is giving me a lot of opportunities to correct this....
