On a creaky ship with a wobble and sway, Lived a crew who worked… well, half the day. They’d argue for hours on where to go, Then forget the map and just drift slow.
Their captain wore socks with sandals, it’s true, Claimed it was “fashion” the whole voyage through. He’d shout “Full speed!” with dramatic flair, While the anchor was still very much down there.
A parrot named Steve (who hated the sea) Got seasick daily and blamed it on tea. He’d squawk out insults in perfect rhyme, Then politely apologize every time.
They hunted for treasure with spoons and a rake, Dug up old boots and a suspicious cake. “Riches!” they cried, “We’ve struck it big!” (It was mostly crumbs… and half a twig.)
So if you see pirates, don’t be afraid, They’re likely confused more than they invade. For under the hats and the “yarrr” and the roar, They’re just silly folks who forgot what for.
I for one am extremely happy this package exists and will be buying it day 1 because these are two of my favorite games ever made and $70 is worth it to play them with modern touches.
Sayonara Wild Hearts is one of my favorite indie games ever - the gameplay is so fun and the music and art direction is truly beautiful. Easy recommendation for anyone that enjoys quirky rhythm games.
Disappointing, but that seems to be the norm for Pokemon these days. Seems clear they are just pushing this half-baked release out for the holiday season. The Pokemon cog has to stay on schedule.
I grew up with the English voice actors and I will miss reliving the game the way I remember it… kinda makes me want to just skip it and keep the memories instead. I hope they update with the English voices but I’m not holding my breath.
DS era Pokémon was the best for me with HGSS and BW2 being my faves. Platinum was pretty cool too. Crystal is my favorite of the Gameboy games. The 3DS games were all pretty bad in my opinion, although I loved Megas in Gen 6 but not much else.

I’d play an actual mobile Warioware but not interested in photography minigames. Just give me Warioware Touched 2.
Re: Dragon Quest XI Gets The 'Definitive Edition' Treatment (Again) For Switch 2
I’ve been waiting to play this game for nearly a decade and now I hopefully can get the definitive experience.
Can almost guarantee it’ll be a key card though. Hmm
Re: Review: Yoshi And The Mysterious Book (Switch 2) - Charming Enough, But Ultimately Lacklustre
I just want a nice port of Woolly World with some additional content please. A full sequel would be even better.

Day 1 absolute must-play game and I’m so happy the series isn’t dead

My uncle at Nintendo tells me we will see this on Switch Online pretty soon.

Does it have gyro controls
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A's Mega Dimension DLC Is Getting A Code-In-A-Box Release
Pokémon as a brand makes me so sad and it once brought me such joy. Just such anti-consumer tactics at every turn.
Re: Yoshi And The Mysterious Book Estimated File Size And Price Seemingly Revealed
This looks amazing and I’ll be buying it day one for sure as long as it isn’t a key card. I also really want a new release of Woolly World.
Re: Poll: Will You Be Getting Pokémon FireRed Or LeafGreen On Switch?
They’re using your nostalgia against you. Be strong and do something productive instead of being weak and caving in.
Re: Talking Point: How The Heck Will MGS4 On Switch Handle Its PlayStation References?
I love love loved MGS4 back in 2009 or 10 when I played it. Amazing game.

Re: Review: Mario Tennis Fever (Switch 2) - Slim For Singles, But An Addictive Core Gives It Online Legs
I just wanted a cute story mode about the babies but this sounds pretty lame.
Re: Mario Tennis Fever's Opening Movie Is As Cinematic As They Come
Absolute trash compared to Power Tennis. I wish Nintendo would bring back that GameCube zaniness they had back then.
Re: Nintendo's Share Price Drops 11% Following Its Financial Release
Bought $70 worth instead of a new game.
Re: Review: Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined (Switch 2) - A Fantastic Makeover & The Best-Looking DQ Ever
@Quarth Ah - I didn’t think of that for some reason. Thank you.
Also for long time fans, would you play this or XI first? I haven’t played any mainline DQ games.
Re: Review: Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined (Switch 2) - A Fantastic Makeover & The Best-Looking DQ Ever
I want to buy it, but I don’t want it digitally and the “physical” is a key card. So I guess I am not buying it instead. Sad.
Re: GameStop Kicks Off 2026 By Reportedly Shutting "Hundreds" Of Stores
Fook GameStop for tricking me into trading in all my childhood games in the early 2000’s. Let them die.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch 1 & 2 Games Of 2025
DK should be #1 and Kirby Air Riders is way way too low.
Re: Reminder: It's Time To Rate Your Switch 1 & 2 Games Of The Year
In my opinion,
GOTY: DK Bananza
Runner Ups:
Kirby Air Riders
MK World
Once Upon A Katamari
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (20th December)
Still loving every moment of Kirby Air Riders.
Re: Kirby Air Riders Updated To Version 1.2.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I want to be able to play city trial for longer than 7 minutes per round.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Kirby Air Riders?
9 because the title logo looks like a placeholder - why didn’t they use the regular Kirby logo with the star in it? The game itself is great.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A DLC's Next Mega Evolution Is A Mythical One
Why is the highest-grossing media franchise in the world using what sounds like the same call noises for the Pokemon as 20 years ago? Ridiculous.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer Reveals Rosalina, Bowser Jr., And More
Looks amazing - the first movie was a bit boring but this looks spicy. I love Bowser’s brooding artist characterization.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 For Switch?
I for one am extremely happy this package exists and will be buying it day 1 because these are two of my favorite games ever made and $70 is worth it to play them with modern touches.

Sayonara Wild Hearts is one of my favorite indie games ever - the gameplay is so fun and the music and art direction is truly beautiful. Easy recommendation for anyone that enjoys quirky rhythm games.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 6th)
Sayonara Wild Hearts
Hands down my favorite game on Switch. I love unconventional rhythm games.
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th November (North America)
I'll use this comment to tell you to download Sayonara Wild Hearts. I bought it on a whim the other day and it's fantastic. 10/10
