Maybe in Hyrule they remember what Lord Vetinari said: never build a prison you wouldn't be happy to spend a night in yourself.

Oh, sorry, false alarm.

Yeah, removing a repository, because git is totally centralized, just like svn, and it will render cloned repos useless. Oh wait...

If I already have a GBA, I can play GBA games on it, thanks. Flashcarts exist.

A story-driven game with an emphasis on spectacle and context-sensitive buttons? Sounds like a sequel to Conker's Bad Fur Day in terms of gameplay.

As the great video game reviewer (Yahtzee Croshaw) once said:
"First, I should say that Return of the Obra Dinn isn't for everyone. Wow, that's a... useless sentence, isn't it? Nothing's "for everyone", except maybe oxygen and Pixar films"

@Yalloo it was 2018 and on Switch, so it could be only one Zelda BOTW of course. I very, very much liked it.
And your favorite game of all times is also my favorite game of all times.

Used to own and love PS1 from 1996 to 2007. It's great to see classic PS games on Switch (actually, playing Crash Bandicoot on the road was the reason I bought a Switch in 2018, only after completing all three Crash Bandicoots fifteen more times I decided to check out what's that "Zelda" all the cool kids on Nintendo forums are talking about), and what's really missing here are first five Tomb Raiders. AFAIK, THQ Nordic currently has the rights to it, and these guys previously did good work (Darksiders 3 and SpongeBob Battle for Bikini Bottom come to mind).
However, I'm fine with some PS1 games missing if there are "inspired by" games that fill this niche. As the article points out, no SotN here, but also no shortage of SotN clones here, so ok then. Same for Twisted Metal - I love TM2, but I loved CelDamage HD even more, so it checks this particular box.

Pity, it looked interesting. However, I'll go and check Youtube for what it has to say about this game (tool?), and if it improves in future, then the mighty YT algorithms, may their benevolent wisdom shine upon us, will recommend it to me again.
About "hit or miss" community content part of review - it's called Sturgeon's law, and in user generated content this law is always in full force.

I like Mega Man style gameplay, but not a die hard fan of the franchise itself, so if there's another game that's "Mega Man but better", I'll play it instead of waiting for a new "proper" Mega Man game. I played both Mega Man 11 and Mighty Gunvolt Burst at the same time and found the latter to be "Mega Man but better". So I would give Mega Man 12 a try if it takes some notes from MGB.
Pixel art (MGB's pixel art is a thing in itself, while MM11's art looks cheap, generic and dated), fully customizeable custom weapons, different playstyles (no matter if different characters, or Mega Man only, but with different abilities). No lives system please, it oustayed its welcome long ago. Chiptune music - YES, all of it, in my face, OMNOMNOM. Maybe a separate roguelike mode a la 20XX.

...and some Chemical X, added accidentally.

Hope they won't waste an opportunity to advertize with a slogan "this game... even better than Mama!"

"But they didn't have Ice Cube, so he bought Vanilla Ice"

This means every fifth person in Japan owns a Switch.

To be fair, story mode is a weak spot in any kart racer. There's a reason Mario Kart doesn't bother with it. And fun fact: in the original Crash Team Racing the story mode antagonist was deliberately made ridiculous as a concept (an alien) because devs were tired of making Crash Bandicoot games and hoped it would kill the franchise (spoiler: it didn't).

Another mobile port? It's just plane wrong.
I'll see myself out.

This isn't some weird sourcery, the OG Tomb Raider, technically speaking, is not 3D. It uses sprite scaling for rendering the world, that's why everything is square; if GBA can run Doom, why not Tomb Raider?

looks at the picture Finally, Mighty No 9 comes to Switch, with updated explosions!

Great, put it to "Will change gaming forever" along with Steam Machines, Valve Controller and Valve VR glasses (forgot proper name).

That's not even what 'simp' means. How do you do fellow kids indeed.

And now when at least one copy of this shows up on ebay, it will have the price of several Atlantean Scions.

In Eastern Europe everybody literally calls any console "addon" ("pristavka"), handheld or not. So if anyone happens to talk about SNES Play Station, it is jokingly called "an addon for addon" ("pristavka k pristavke").
And yes, there are home consoles and handheld consoles. One may call the latter "handhelds" for short, but they stop being "consoles" because of it.

"Twitter stinks"
Can't argue with that.

I just have to disagree with all the cons:

• "A toy, not a game" - duh, it's not like eshop description promised HARDCORE ACTION PUSHING TO YOUR LIMITS
• "Fiddly controls if you’re trying to be precise" - nope, a combination of two sticks and zooming in and out works wonders. Takes one minute to adjust to it
• "All towns pretty much look the same" - yes, but it's Scandinavian style, it's still a breath of fresh air if all you see every day are some other (cough cough Eastern European cough) styles

@Gs69 CelDamage HD, but only in terms of gameplay, not visual tone

No More Heroes, sorta.

Eastern Europe, Marios are still in every store that sells Switch games, so far never gone up in price. Ditto for online flea markets (where I usually buy physical copies). No, I still won't buy it, that's what we have emulation for.

Sure, why not, all good games from the 90s have already been given second chance, now let's re-release not so good ones. Obviously, I'm being sarcastic, and since it's so obvious, I'm going to omit this sentence from the official transcript of this meeting.

As a fan of the first installment, I wonder what they could possibly add to justify it being part 2. The first one already has everything such games need.

Coming soon: Balan Wonderworld in Game Builder Garage but fun to play. (Well, stranger things happened).

@GrailUK well, it plays like the first Super Monkey Ball and looks like it belongs on the GameCube; also it has cardboard aesthetics which I like very much. No monkeys in the ball though.

I've already bought Paperball Deluxe. It may not be Sonic Mania moment for Super Monkey Ball, but it's definitely, let's say, Freedom Planet moment.

So basically Celeste With Magnets.

"As you know, on this side of the Wall
We are Yooks,
On the far other side of this Wall
Live the Zooks"
Then my grandfather said:
"It's high time that you knew
Of the terrible, horrible thing that Zooks do.
In every Zook house and in every Zook town
Every Zook eats his bread
With the butter side down!"

Paperball is Super Monkey Ball 1 done right.

Now according to Youtube traditions, they should recreate Megalovania with the same samples.

@UltimateOtaku91 NES was the beast, SNES followed. And 64 wasn't the beast in terms of sold units.

Also: GB was the beast, then GBC was the beast, then GBA was the beast, then DS was the beast with a capital B... see the pattern?

I owned a PS1 in the late 90s, and for me it was The Ultimate Console because it had lots of ports. Ports of games that were several years old already and were previously available only on specific machines, now all came gathered under one roof of PS1 and made shinier, because devs had time to fix post-release bugs. PS1 had the library of, as we say today, Definitive Editions of older games, and that's why so many people, myself included, loved it.

And currently the same thing is happening to Switch. You want new 1st party big budget titles, shiny and chrome? Check. Fancy an indie game with truly original concept? eshop is your friend. Something proven from several years ago? Yup. Link's Awakening that knows gamepads today have more than two buttons? Under different name, but yes, we have that too. One Console to Rule Them All indeed.

No, I'm not downloading Crash 4 like majority of voters. I'm waiting for the cartridge.
I may download NoReload Heroes, looks like Enter the Gungeon with up to 4 players coop.

When some time ago I wanted some F-Zero like on my Switch, I bought Fast Rmx. It has a nice gameplay, but not too interesting visuals for my tastes. This one has graphics I already like, will keep an eye on it and wait for reviews. Also, too generic name.

Why folders? I don't want Switch's main screen to resemble yet another cheap Android tablet. Currently Switch has the best main screen of all big name consoles, it's minimalistic but functional (looking at you, PS4, and your bazillion buttons)

Big Rigs 2: Lawnmower Edition

Et tu, Nintendo?
No. Just. No. New technologies are good, but they must improve the experience, not worsen it.
