@Switch_Pro Gunn had one. gross. tweet. about 15 years ago, back when Twitter was mainly used for comedians to blurt one liners. It wasn't a particularly funny joke considering the subject matter, but it was a joke nonetheless, and for some dumb reason people like this vilify Gunn despite his light-hearted albeit crude creativity of the last decade. The overblown outcry led to Disney firing him, and putting a halt on Guardians of the Galaxy 3. Because of a really old, bad joke.

Any fan of Gunn's storied body of work would know the type of humour he tends to convey. It's not always appropriate, but neither is Suda's so it makes sense why they collaborated with Lollipop Chainsaw. His short films with Nathan Fillion et al for instance were hilarious, but not quite family friendly. It doesn't make him a monster.

Buy the dip! 😂

Seriously, the market is practically in freefall right now, so why not.

Nintendo Life once showcased this exact same idea a few years back.

I've only played HW and AoC, but plan on picking up FEW:3H.

After hundreds of hours in co-op with HW, I'd have to say that one is best. AoC is pretty fantastic as a single player game, and really makes you feel like you're a part of the Calamity War, but the performance issues mar the co-op experience unfortunately, so I'll have to give top honors to HW unless the Switch's successor is BC and improves the frame rate.

This was also on Oculus/VR, which from what I heard was good for what it was. Not sure if you took control of the main character or just handled the hacked systems though.

@shazbot Oof, that's a shame. I'll still hold out hope anyway. Lol

@Screen jacksepticeye, and it looked pretty promising. I hope the performance is up to snuff.

@DumbElder being as you are already predisposed to not like these games why bother commenting in the first place? You speak as someone who has clearly never played the games due to your snobbish attitude, so just keep scrolling.

@thaimbomb these aren't the PS2 games. They tried to upgrade everything for modern aesthetics, and didn't think to just port the PS2 version which would have worked marvelously. Instead we get a poorly optimized "upgrade".

That said, the games are still fun even in this state. Enjoying the newer control scheme as well, and gyro works well as long as the sensitivity isn't up too high. I just hope they patch it up quickly to iron out the frame rate woes.

Yay, looking forward to maiming my brain again! 😂

Lol the GTA3 trilogy's character models have always been hella wonky. It's pretty much expected. My only concerns are the Switch version hitting 30 fps with no major dips and refined GTAV controls, and I'll be over the moon.

Man, the gaming industry these days has become so sad. I'm glad Indies are so good and thriving, because I've about given up on this hobby.

Ring Fit is totally worth the price. The only game I play regularly for a half hour every morning ever since becoming a dad. The lil guy enjoys watching me move all around while he bounces. It's particularly great for fasted exercise too. 😃

@Spanish_Bread that's a shame.

@Spanish_Bread I'm sure it is indeed trash, but how is the game controlled? Is there gyro or just analog sticks and buttons?

Interesting take on 3D platformers having the player control an animated 2D sprite. Color me intrigued. I'm presuming the price will be fair if Slime-san is anything to go by.

I'm not buying regardless of price, but I reckon they'll charge $10 for it. Anything more than that and y'all have been had.

I will point out however, that the rewind feature is the greatest thing about the NSO games service.

This can only mean.. Super Mario Odyssey 2 releasing in 2022 confirmed.

No arguing! Confirmed I say!

20,000 and it's sold out.

Oh man! Nintendo better batten down the hatches! A niche of a niche of a niche product caught the wallets of a small town in Colorado! 🤦

The 1st trailer seems misleading. The camera is more dynamic/cinematic, and the view behind the car is much closer. However, the Switch trailer shows a distinct camera position pulled far back ala Rush Hour for PS1 or Mantis Burn Racing. Will the camera be fixed there, or will there be multiple camera options?

Darn, only 6 tracks? That's a shame. Maybe I'll grab this on a sale down the road. My game purchase this week is for Sega Picross.

@Znake what are you talking about? Splatoon 2 has a story mode, which was great fun, and they even came out with the Octoling single player expansion.

The open world is whatever. I get the joke. I just hope it's at least populated with minigames like the previous ones, and not just completely barren. That wouldn't make much sense.
Perhaps these videos are simply showing the environments.

Hoping this spurs many more pixel art collections. This is perfect for picross and frankly should've been done sooner! Can't wait to grab this.

Can't really point out a particular level, but I have played Twisted Metal 2 to death back in the 90s. My cousins and I would get lost for hours playing through the co-op mode with various cars/characters. My favorite being Shadow. Such an absolute blast of a game right along with Wario Stadium and Mario Kart 64.

Future Nintendo does what Nintendidn't.

@Finntendo64 Haha I was referring to the gameplay mechanic in Claymates where you change into different characters to use different abilities, similar to Balan.

I mean, Claymates is a better game than Balan Wonderworld, so there's that.

This actually looks pretty fun, but..what are friends?

@LavaTwilight honestly, if they don't adopt a different input method, that's really all they'll be capable of doing, if they're trying to include as a "separate genre" on their app's interface.
I wouldn't mind that. I enjoyed Bandersnatch as well as Kimmy Schmidt's interactive thing.

If Gamepass is available on this, that's a wonderful proposition, but I'm by no means in the market for any new hardware for a while. Best of luck to them.

@Mijzelffan lol no they're not. $400 is not entirely consumer friendly pricing for a dedicated handheld device. And there isn't a dock included. This will be niche at best. I'd like to be proven wrong because competition is definitely healthy, but looking at the numbers, I don't see it causing much of a problem for them. At least not yet.

Plus, is this even going to be available in big box stores, or is this strictly through Valve like the steam controllers? Their hardware track record isn't quite flawless.

@Thaliard They're probably selling below cost on the lowest model, and enticing buyers with the added Bell and whistles on the premium models. Valve's pockets run deep thanks to the 30% cut they receive on every Steam transaction, so they can definitely afford it.

@mchief190 don't forget though the difference isn't all profit going to Nintendo. There are distribution costs, import taxes and other fees which chip away at the differential.

Nintendo has always sold their systems above cost. That's how they've managed to weather the storm of two commercial failures (3 if you count the V-Boy). Unlike Sony or Microsoft, they have no other divisions to fall back on to make up for selling units at a loss. It's just good business sense.

Bad memories attached to this game, to no fault of the game, but because of it I don't think I'll revisit it anytime soon. I'll gladly triple dip for a Wind Waker port though.

About time Zim got some decent representation! I'm interested for this alone. Hope it turns out well!

@rushiosan Luigi's Mansion 3 was developed by Next Level, who did LM2 Dark Moon, and it was fantastic. The same thing is happening here, Mercury Steam handled development for Samus Returns, and due to their critical success, they were greenlit to head Metroid Dread. If you played SR you'd know the gameplay mechanics have been greatly streamlined with all kinds of QoL improvements. For anyone who has played SR, myself included obviously, they're beyond excited for this one. Assuming Sakamoto doesn't squander the plot like he did Other M(the biggest blemish on an otherwise solid Metroid game), this title has the chance to be a great step forward for the 2d side of this franchise.

I like the DIY, hand drawn artstyle, and it looks like it has some neat ideas. Not too sure about the actual gameplay though. Could be good? Could be terrible. Interesting concept though.

@dani3po no bezel 😉

@RadioShadow BT audio would be great for docked play, instead of having an impractical, long headphone cord stretching across the room. Alas, this newer model shows how little they actually care about docked mode anyways.

@masterLEON excellent news, thank you!

To the wishlist it goes! (My backlog hates me)

I didn't see any mention of it, but does this port have a TATE mode?

@RoguePirate well I mean CP2077 was a new and quite ambitious genre for CDPR to approach, whereas Mercury Steam is quite familiar with 2D Metroid after having developed the remake for Metroid 2, Samus Returns. So they know what they're doing already, and based on gameplay footage it's safe to say that Dread plays similarly to it. It'll be just fine.

The Legend Of Zelda: Hyrule Rising
or
The Legend Of Zelda: Arm Of Gerudo
or
The Legend Of Zelda: It's Morphin' Time

Jokes aside, I think LOZ: Chasm Of Malice has a nice ring to it.

@nocdaes ...and how exactly are you helping the situation by continuing to support Amazon with your business? Yeah it might cost a little more, but support offline stores before Amazon is the only choice.

@Papichulo k. why are you here?

The game looks so unique and intriguing. Alas, I bought 5 games in the last month, and decided it's time to get cracking on this backlog. To the wishlist it goes!

@rjejr I was unaware a high entry fee was a requirement for an activity to be considered a sport. Oh wait, it's not.

FIRST sounds like a great thing for kids to get into, but how exactly does what you describe differ from a chess club, aside from that ridiculous tourney fee?

Sports, eSports, it still has "sport" in the name, and words are allowed to take on new meaning to reflect the changing times.

Oh, don't act like you people wouldn't give it a shot if you popped on your Netflix account one day, and you're greeted to a trailer for a bunch of games to play at no additional cost.

...that is, until they run the stats and see millions of subscribers religiously using it in a couple of years, THEN they'll slap that gaming premium on ya.

And that's the day I finally cancel Netflix.
