molkom

Looking forward to this coming out in Europe! As three others already mentioned, a short runtime is not always a negative especially for this type of game

Played through this yesterday! The visuals are top notch indeed, but the battle system and environments felt a bit bland to me so far. I loved FF VII growing up so it was still fantastic to see Cloud, Tifa (however brief) etc on the screen again

@Suketoudara cheers!

A falling puzzle and merge game huh… it looks quite a bit like Puzzle Bobble to me! Just shooting downwards instead of upwards. Since I much enjoyed Puzzle Bobble back in the days I might give this a try

@Oldstalk I played through every last bit of the original and have been wondering why I haven’t felt the need to play Silksong despite that. I think the reason is what you describe! I’d likely love a more upbeat alternative that plays like this.

@arrmixer Yes! Your wallet will be lighter to carry around

In more seriousness, I can’t see any benefit.

Not many games left now on my compatibility wish list! Nice

I found them quite cool apart from the Classic Sonic one.

A yeah, mechanical keyboards like these are always expensive, so doesn’t seem like too much of a premium for these. I’m not the target segment for expensive mechanical keyboards however

But most of all, thanks for the post(s) above reminding me of Phantasy Star Online. Good times.

Can’t decide how I feel about this hacking multitasking - too stressful, gimmicky or cool, etc. Intrigued all the same!

”So… what is it?” was going through my head reading this. I don’t think it’s mentioned in the whole article what it actually is lol

@WilliamRikerNC017 thank you for being the first one to mention. So it’s a grip case ;D

2 and 4 are my strongest RE memories so why not! Might give this a go then even if I since moved away from horror in both games and movies

This made me happy at least. It’s not one of the big franchises someone mentioned above, but that makes it more interesting to me. It kinda gives me some of that vibe that Fable gave me when I first saw and read about it back in the days, so can’t wait to try it out

South of Midnight won games for impact huh, glad it’ll show up on Switch in 2026!

@Moroboshi876 quite sure I read on this site (another article) that it’s 17 dollars or pounds or similar to upgrade. Maybe someone can confirm here as well

@Wewewi Are you based in the US? I can’t find a virtual boy holder thingy anywhere (Europe)

And Topher, you and me both

I’d like Conker, please.

(Greatly looking forward to Smash though!)

Have they ever released a Skyrim version in this bad shape? I doubt it. Way to ruin a sweet track record.

This update was the thing I’d need to return and I was about to pull the trigger, but this review makes it an easy wait and see instead.

I guess a new game to be announced?

Could maybe also have some news about movie/series, but since at the game awards…

Wouldn’t mind a ”Lara Croft starring in a new Horizon game on Switch 2!” - calling it (for those who don’t know me, yes that’s obviously a joke, not that I WOULD mind though haha)

Playing through Octopath Traveller II first, so I won’t suffer as you guys who started playing asap. Glad they’re fixing this!

@Suketoudara That your horse? Looks super stable

This game is making me very curious, can’t decide if I’ll buy or not just yet but the review was a nice read

Cool, have been wanting to try out Gamechat but didn’t know I had a webcam option that close at hand 🤣

@Bex_Tries thx for the added flavor Think we are much aligned on Galaxy! As for those mentioned, those are all great. My fav Mario to this day is Super Mario World however. Not because it’s 2D but… I guess equal measures world map/level design/secrets/cape power up and nostalgia

@Mikeopferman lol, this made me laugh. I remember two ”campaigns” from my childhood: Legend of Zelda which was to be my ”last game ever” (yeah right.. not so smart of me to play that card haha) and then RC Pro Am Racing, where my dad called me out on Zelda and ”last game ever”. Still got the game though Thanks dad

Basically, all I want to know is who of you are also playing Sky: Children of the Light since I saw a “2” in the list for the first time (I’m also playing Octopath Traveller 2, Cyberpunk and Dark Souls)

@Bex_Tries my exact feelings about SMG2 as well back in time!

@D-Star92 your profile FTW - hope you’re having a lovely day too!

Also just wanna mention that wow, the backlog just exploded what with all the new fantastic releases! Looks as if 2026 is already packed for me.

Never heard of this Thanks for putting it on my radar

Won’t dare to get my hopes up too much, but this could be such a great game for me if it delivers on most of its promises 🙈 Looks and sounds awesome and right up my alley 😁

As very many above already mentioned, please tell these people to stop using the term “impossible” when it already has been achieved earlier. Just use impressive or on a satisfactory level or similar… I’m glad for this and all other ports that show up respectfully on Switch 2, but using the term impossible kinda justifies ports to do worse and I think most would agree with me that we don’t want anyone to actively support lowering the bar.

Anyone tried Old School Rally, any good?

@Serpenterror
I’m curious: what you mean with fake games in this context?

Nice! Without realising this was being released now I recently started Octopath Traveler 2 and am massively enjoying it. Looking forward to this afterwards

Much better than I feared. This review reads like a 10/10 to me, so the end score surprised me when I first came to it. But looking through other reviews and hearing Alex in the video review definitely makes me see why it’s rather an 8 or 9 worthy game.

Personally, I can’t stand motorcycles thrown in where I don’t think they fit, equally so here as in Zelda Breath of the Wild. At least in Zelda it was a late DLC unlock and not part of the main game So desert biking is a big turnoff for me, but I wouldn’t let it bother my enjoyment of the rest of the game when it looks and plays as good as it sounds

Heh, had this for years but still wrapped in plastic. Too many great backlog games to ever get to this one I fear, but keep the compatibility updates coming!

Wow, NieR! I wasn’t sure it was ever gonna get this I must admit, very good news. Has anyone already been able to confirm the issues are gone?

Wasn’t aware RE4 got issues though

Nice, this made me reread the interview with him that is linked above - good stuff! 🙏

Reread this again now after following a link. Even nicer than I remembered! Funny how he dreamt of Miyamoto long after leaving, and how he takes it for granted that students sleep during class at uni ( in Japan they do but he says it so off the cuff I guess he sees it as the natural order of things )

Have planned to get back into this for years heh. Will just first make a migration from Switch 1 to 2…. any month now

@DashKappei your refreshing experience comment might push me over the fence on this one - cheers

@Jeronan thx for info, I loved Cyberpunk on Switch all the same in the end - likely because I hadn’t experienced it elsewhere - so hopefully I’ll feel the same about this one

@Max_the_German

Cheers Max, appreciate the share

@LastFootnote

Well, we do get a simple jingle?

Apparently mobile experience is of equivalent worth XD

“Furcula Games has crafted a twin-stick shooter cum card-based companion collector.“

This sentence tripped me up

This makes me wish I was a PC gamer

Same on the lighting, but main worry for me is the ”NPC counts have been reduced in highly populated areas”; I like when games feel ”alive” so hopefully it’s not too sparse!

AC Shadows for me; most things Japan pulls me in ;D

@Jhena you and me both Not sure my cup of tea, but looks intriguing. I wonder how many ”Mega Man” games there are in total in the wild haha. I basically played Mega Man 1-3 plus Mega Man X hehe

@Elektrogeist1287

I was about to go for chocolate chip or butter cookies, but I’ll be fine if you send over some Lebkuchen too. Appreciate it!

@Elektrogeist1287

Germany?

@Alpha008 The Golden Joystick Awards are mainly voted on by the public - online voting early November I think, with only a few select chosen by critics. (Critics' Choice, Breakthrough Award, Hall of Fame, and Streamers' Choice)

This one is selected by Future games critics

Played through Kazooie as a teen, never played Tooie until now Gotta agree about the dark tone!
