I came back to this thread just to read the fun stuff.

@Not_Soos it’s easier to label all challenges you face as phobic than to actually deal with them.

Fewer = better. There’s a limit to how much time of a 90 min movie can be spent as a toy commercial.

Looks like a toy commercial

Dk 64 and Banjo-Tooie, though I'd prefer if it was the Xbox360 release of Banjo Tooie, instead of a lame rom with no effort.

@Jokerwolf Within the emulator and on a per game basis.
There's no good reason for this to not be included except laziness.

@JayJ and to save them by game.
They also need that in the regular Switch OS.
Shouldn't be that hard. Small indie company.

It’s a great point and click adventure. Personally tired of pixel graphics, but it doesn’t take away from the game.

This is why the movie is made.

@sixrings performance is my biggest concern.
I don’t want to know anything about design.

@StarPoint first reply hits the nail. I didn't bother reading any more.

@Purgatorium Yes. And made in limited suplly, so they’re sure they’ll sell out.

Fake FOMO plastic crap.

Never cared. Terrible real life microtransactions.

Features getting ripped from games, like the QOL teleport in Skyward Sword HD, and wolf link in BOTW.

Predatory in nature. Exploiting fans to the max.

@BaldBelper78 3ds and New 3ds also say hi from beyond the grave.

They’ve managed to screw up every sequel console they’ve done. Switch success seemed to happen by accident.

A Switch U would deal the killing blow the WiiU couldn’t

Unsurprising, but sad.

Both are on Game Pass day one. Woop woop.

Cool. Still haven’t played any of the Bayonetta games. My backlog is so heavy it hurts.

A remake of this game, with more mechanics, fewer timed missions and better sound mixing and subtitles, is something I would buy.

People love functionality, but this game needs some proper system update style stability.

Even with certain areas in BOTW, it felt old.
Performance matters.

@Sahnec Microtransactions deluxe.

Slowly going through BOTW master mode. Doesn't matter if I finish before Tears.

The most important thing is to be hungry and ready when it comes.

Their games have some quality content, but most of them are so bloated you get bored between the greatness.

Too bad Mario Rabbits didn’t deliver for them, but it’s a niche game, sonI wonder what the actual results are.

Also, they devalue their games so quickly, it’s weird that ANYONE buys them full price.

Played it in handheld. Ran fine, considering it’s a massive downgrade and played fine. Should’ve been 30min in my opinion, because it had like 7 min of cutscenes in the opening 15.

Every piece could be the start of something. Wish I could draw anything that is not stick men.

@Polvasti Bingo

@TtimeXP Nope. «Limited edition» plastic that puts any game feature, no matter how small, behind another pay wall, is a toxic and exploitative business practice that devalues the game attached to it.

Amiibos are terrible cash grabs that offer no value. Don’t support that business practice.

@blindsquarel Animal Horror Story: Cult

All I want is for that development hell sequel @ the initiative to be good. Probably won’t.

I'd be more interested in a single issue comic or something fun leading up the game.

"Special" edition consoles are boring.

Games like the Batman: Arkham series, play in release order. Origins doesn't really matter to the main trilogy anyway, but is a great game in its own right.

Zelda? Start with the newest. Botw. with the exception of Majora's Mask and now, Tears, there are no direct sequels.

I see some recommendations here that are totally convoluted, and will lead to massive burnouts for newer players.
Just thinking of the mess that is kindom hearts continuity across different platforms is the reason I'm not ever gonna play those games.

@Battista Yup. And they planned ahead with not having a bunch of seperate accouns. My Xbox account is still the same as I had on the first gen Xbox.

Merry christmas. Hope you all have a good one.

For next year, I wish:

• more in depth articles
• fewer clickbaits without substance

I could be willing to pay a couple euros a month for premium articles and video content.

Ties are not allowed. Retry.

Finished The Inner World: The Last Wind Monk last night.

Playing some MK8D, Splatoon 2 and Botw Master mode while away on xmas vacation.
Will get back to Immotals Fenyx Rising and Guardians of the Galaxy next week, both on Game Pass.

Might pick up Disco Elysium if I finish GOTG. Haven't decided on platform yet.

I'd buy this at a decent price point.

Added this to my wishlist with a note on the technical performance on Switch.
Might buy later if it's patched on Switch. PC version does not seem to have input problems.

If anything, I'd love a new Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds. That was a great RTS, made in the Age of Empires 2 engine, from the AOE2 devs. Just not for Switch.

A well made Star Wars tactics game could be great, but would need a lot more horsepower to look and perform as great as it deserves. Obvious multiplat.

Portal, both games, are timless and unique.

Buy them and play them, you crazy people.

This was a game I really wanted to enjoy, and couldn't. Replayed a bit recently, and still can't enjoy it.

I love Yoshi's Crafted World though. Played all of it in co op with the heir.

It's a boring business decision.
They've been criticizing Nintendo publically in their new content, and Nintendo doing what Nintendo does, deletes old PR that can be associated with critique from their new persona-driven content.

It's a lame and very corporate decision.

Good games, but not worth the porting effort.
They're already very devalued on other platforms.

@6969sixnine6969 Great job on ignoring other factors.

They’re making other games. It’s a good time to be a Nintendo fan, if you love new stuff.
There’s never ever been more or better content on a Nintendo console than on Switch.

At least base your criticism on something real, like their terrible online system, cash grab amiiboo plastic crap, and treatment of classic catalogue.

It would also be fine if you simply said «I really really want a new Mario kart, more than anything else». I look forward to the next gen of Mario kart too.

@6969sixnine6969

Makes business sense to wait with a new Mario kart until a major hardware upgrade. Also makes sense if design is hindered by tech.
It's hard to say how a Mario kart 9 would fit into the Switch portfolio right now, closing in on the end of its life, considering MK tends to be evergreen tittles that sell well through an entire console lifespan.

MK9 has to be absolutely incredible to outdo MK8.

@Anti-Matter I believe you're wrong on pretty much all your points except one.

More content for a game that has sold almost 50 million units, is a good thing for players. I'd also argue that value for money isn't that bad either.
25 Usd/euro for the pass, or included in the NSO EXP, is especially good value IF you have the family pass.
Could've been more interesting if it had more system / customization updates. Recent item options were a welcome surprise I'd like to see more of.

Drip feeding it over almost two years is bad, though.

Too bad. Never liked the business model, that’s why I stayed away from it.

Would love a to pay for a kart racer that is fun, exciting, yet different to Mario kart.
This wasn’t it.

@Gamer_Griff Awesome show with great animation, music, performances and writing. Still hurts that it stopped on a cliffhanger.

@MarioBrickLayer TLDR, no.
https://www.esrb.org/faqs/#do-esrb-raters-play-the-games-they-rate

ESRB raters do not play through games during the rating process for a variety of reasons. First, many games can have upwards of 50 hours of gameplay, so requiring a minimum of three raters to play through hundreds of physical (boxed) games rated annually would be impractical. Additionally, games are player-controlled and enable many different permutations of gameplay depending upon how the player decides to approach a situation. We do, however, play-test many games after release to help ensure all pertinent content was disclosed during the rating process.
