@BoyfriendOfDeath I would love to visit for a long vacation and see what happens. Hardest part for me would be learning Japanese. Plus being almost 50. Hope you can go there.
Asajj Ventress was never a playable character in the game, either at launch or as an unlockable character? The mod adds Asajj Ventress to the game? WTH Aspyr
@Sisilly_G Yeah I don't get it at all. Did they really limit psychical copies more with this game? I've seen Best Buy (US) have it for sale on their website.
Games, movies, TV, anime, etc. If you really love something you probably want to own a copy of it. Especially if you replay/re-watch it often. This is best with physical media, not a license.
regardless of their age some people are just "old fashioned" when it comes to these things i guess. you can play games and also go outside, right? or grab the switch out of the dock and do both at once.
the closest example of this i have heard was from my older brother. he was over one day, saw my consoles and mentioned that i still play games (i'm in my 40s). he was never into games outside of my memories of playing atari vcs at one of his friends in the early 80s. i took no offense and he didn't intend any, so not the same as "go outside and get some fresh air."
I don't think a new Nintendo console will be out in 2024 but could be announced as in development or something. I just hope the "Super Switch" is not a drastic change, just more powerful with maybe a few new tweaks to design, etc.
I realize Bill and Ted is a well known licensed property, but I wonder how many crap games have gotten a second life due to AVGN. And how many were released by LRG. If we all watched Nerd play the games why do we want to own them? Plumbers Don't Wear Ties? Come on. I guess I just want to play good games.
If stuff like this keeps happening, maybe in a couple years publishers will stop putting out exclusive trailers for TGA. Game makers don't need TGA to showcase new games. This is proven over and over and why E3 is gone.
Figured a Zelda movie would happen but very surprised by the people involved. I knew Studio Ghibli would be a stretch but figured they'd use another animation studio. Nope.

Re: Capcom Issues Reminder About Monster Hunter Stories Switch Pre-Order Goodies
Play Asia lists a copy of the first game in US and European regions, but there is no release date or price.
Re: 'That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime' Anime Gets The RPG Treatment This August
Really excited for this. Love the anime. Hopefully they're adding the English dub but no biggie if it's Japanese VA only.
Re: Round Up: It's April Fools' Day, Here Are The Best Gaming Gags We've Seen (2024)
Yeah. AFD sucks. I don't mind obvious fake news but most of the time the "jokes" are really upsetting like the Rockstar one. Just stop.
Re: As Switch Approaches The PS2's Lifetime Sales, Sony Moves The Goalposts
Good grief. Who gives a rip about sales numbers? I play games. I like games. We shouldn't care about this stuff.
Re: Random: Capcom Reveals "Most Popular" Games And Comments From Fan Survey
Mega Man Legends 1-2 on modern consoles please. That feels like the only MM series not in a collection.

@BoyfriendOfDeath I would love to visit for a long vacation and see what happens. Hardest part for me would be learning Japanese. Plus being almost 50. Hope you can go there.

Very sad news. Praying for his friends and family.
Re: Former Netflix-Exclusive 'Valiant Hearts: Coming Home' Arrives On Switch Today
I didn't know there were even games on Netflix.
Re: Warner Bros. Doubles Down On Its Commitment To Live Service Games
Are focus groups for video games not a thing? Or are they getting people to say they want live service games to mess with them?
Re: Talking Point: What Would Make You Happy To Give Up Physical Games And Go 100% Digital?
First party Nintendo titles are rarely if ever cheaper than physical. Rarely on sale for more than $10 too. May as well buy the physical.
Re: Publisher Midnight Works Allegedly Targeting YouTuber For Calling Out Its "Scam" Switch Games
Hope it doesn't negatively impact his YT channel. Hope less people buy these crap games, even if they are $2-$10.
Re: Hand-Drawn Adventure 'Bo: Path Of The Teal Lotus' Launches On Switch This July
Sure has the look of a game I'd like to play. Added to my list.
Re: Talking Point: Which Xbox Games Would You Like To See Come To Switch?
Number 1 is Fable. Would love to see the first 3 games and maybe the new one on Switch 2.
Re: Five More Classic Rareware Games Come To Nintendo Switch Online Today
RC PRO-AM was one of my favorite NES games back in the 80s. It's a crying shame it took so long to get it ported to another Nintendo console.
Re: Ys X: Nordics Will Launch On Switch In The West In Fall 2024

Re: Falcom Action RPG 'Tokyo Xanadu eX+' Is Coming To Switch
Is this at all different than the PS4 version in terms of the content?
Re: Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince Has Already Surpassed One Million Sales
@Sisilly_G Yeah I don't get it at all. Did they really limit psychical copies more with this game? I've seen Best Buy (US) have it for sale on their website.
Re: Monolith Soft Is Looking For Programmer With "3D Action Game Experience"
I'm sure whatever they make it will be good. They have a great track record.
Re: Soapbox: Tricks Of The Trade-In - Chronicles Of An Ex-GAME Employee
Retail is always interesting, good and bad. I'm sure with trade ins people usually assume a store will buy their crap no matter what.
Re: Van Gogh Museum Fires Four Employees Following Pokémon Collaboration
I don't think I've ever seen embezzle and Pokemon in the same sentence. What a world.
Re: Yes, Nintendo Is Aware Of Palworld's Existence
@DennisReynolds Well said, couldn't agree more.
Re: Sea Of Stars Physical Release Sails In This May
Great news! I wish iam8bit got the rights to Chained Echoes too.
@johnedwin I don't think anyone really knows the answer given the company making the physical version.
Re: Feature: Bandle Tale - Exploring The "Least Developed Parts" Of The League Of Legends IP
I love the graphics. Will check out a demo if they make one.
Re: Koei Tecmo Releases Fate/Samurai Remnant Demo On Switch Ahead Of "DLC Vol. 1" Launch
Greats news, hope it gets more attention.
Re: Players Need To Start "Feeling Comfortable" With Not Owning Games, Says Ubisoft Subs Boss
Games, movies, TV, anime, etc. If you really love something you probably want to own a copy of it. Especially if you replay/re-watch it often. This is best with physical media, not a license.
Re: Oh No, GameStop Is Closing Its NFT Marketplace
NFT I hardly knew ye, glad you are on your way out the door.
Re: 8-Bit Parody 'The Transylvania Adventure Of Simon Quest' Comes To Switch In 2025
I'm no big city lawyer...but hopefully this gets released and is good. 2025 is a ways away.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library With Two RPG Classics Next Week
Very cool. Never was able to play these.
Re: 'Switch 2' Will Be An Iterative Evolution And Will Cost $400, Predicts Analyst
@cpmh1234 I really like the idea of it being called the Super Switch, but only for nostalgia, NES to SNES.
Re: 'Switch 2' Will Be An Iterative Evolution And Will Cost $400, Predicts Analyst
@Gerald ha ha Patcher? Well, he'd say it's 50/50 on Switch 2 coming out this year. Flip a coin.
Re: Dave The Diver Hits 3 Million Global Sales
Congrats! Sounds like a blast.
Re: Best Trails / Kiseki Games On Nintendo Switch
Stupid they don't release Cold Steel I-II on Switch, or on PS5 either. I guess that's what happens when control changes mid stream.
Re: Soapbox: "Go Outside, Get Some Fresh Air" - Why Won't Outmoded Gamer Stereotypes Die?
regardless of their age some people are just "old fashioned" when it comes to these things i guess. you can play games and also go outside, right? or grab the switch out of the dock and do both at once.
the closest example of this i have heard was from my older brother. he was over one day, saw my consoles and mentioned that i still play games (i'm in my 40s). he was never into games outside of my memories of playing atari vcs at one of his friends in the early 80s. i took no offense and he didn't intend any, so not the same as "go outside and get some fresh air."
Re: Talking Point: Could Nintendo Go Another Year Without A Switch Successor?
I don't think a new Nintendo console will be out in 2024 but could be announced as in development or something. I just hope the "Super Switch" is not a drastic change, just more powerful with maybe a few new tweaks to design, etc.
Re: Bill & Ted's Excellent Retro Collection Is About To Be Delisted On The Switch eShop
I realize Bill and Ted is a well known licensed property, but I wonder how many crap games have gotten a second life due to AVGN. And how many were released by LRG. If we all watched Nerd play the games why do we want to own them? Plumbers Don't Wear Ties? Come on. I guess I just want to play good games.

Re: GTA 6 On 'Switch 2' Would Be "Very Tricky To Pull Off", Says Digital Foundry
We'll have to wait and see. Who knows. GTA VI is over 2 years away and we still have no announcement on Switch 2.
Re: Random: The Game Awards Urged Eiji Aonuma To 'Wrap Up' Zelda Acceptance Speech
If stuff like this keeps happening, maybe in a couple years publishers will stop putting out exclusive trailers for TGA. Game makers don't need TGA to showcase new games. This is proven over and over and why E3 is gone.
Re: Zelda Movie Director Wants Film To Feel Like "Live-Action Miyazaki"
Zelda doesn't need to be a Miyazaki Ghibli movie but it should definitely be animated and not live action.
Re: Zelda's Voice Actor Would "Love" To Reprise Her Role In The Live-Action Movie
Like most of us she probably made those comments thinking it was animated, not live action.
Re: Super Mario RPG Switch Leaked Online Ahead Of Next Week's Release
Old or new game, either way leaks suck. It shouldn't impact game sales one bit.
Re: Reaction: What's Your Gut Feeling On The Zelda Movie News?
Figured a Zelda movie would happen but very surprised by the people involved. I knew Studio Ghibli would be a stretch but figured they'd use another animation studio. Nope.
Re: Random: Animator's Stunning New Teaser Reimagines Zelda's Castle Town As A Ghibli Film
Sorry but this doesn't help. If anything, seeing what COULD be makes me more sad of what WILL be when a Zelda movie is made.
