@steventonysmith NOPE! I have a backlog, like a majority of us. That doesn’t stop anybody from looking forward to future games. There’s a feeling of excitement, when it comes to being a gamer, when there’s, new and exciting, software, being announced. It adds something to this hobby. Things feel anemic, these days. I’ve never liked ALL of the big releases, from any generation. But there was usually something exciting, going on. The Switch era is feeling weird, these days. Maybe it’s because the first, couple of years, were so strong.

@Anti-Matter I’m glad that Nintendo is satisfying your need for farming simulators. But it’s a bit ridiculous, when you have a user base, of over, 100 million. A user base, that’s been clamoring for a Direct, for months.

@Bolt_Strike when I say stuff like that, I get something along the lines of, maybe the announcements aren’t for you. But there’s plenty there. I know everything’s not going to appeal to me, but something feels off. It’s been feeling more like the end of of a systems, lifecycle, for a few years. If anybody says, things are fine, nothings changed, compared to the first couple of years, their delusional. It’s not exciting to be a Switch owner, anymore. I mean, all the farm simulators, alone! In one Direct! REALLY?! 🙄

Edit: also, I’m tired of seeing reviews, with cool artwork. Only to click and see, it’s a game that looks like something, I played, back in the early 90’s. 😔

What did I think? Never jump on the hype train.I’ve learned this lesson, MANY, Direct’s ago! Nintendo has announced, long Directs. Only for me to get bored, twenty minutes in. This was no different!

To see the media in a frenzy, prior too, was ridiculous. I expected lots of games, with an anime look. Games that looked like stuff I’ve played, back in the 90’s. I didn’t expect, anything, I saw the media go, on and on, about.

But there were some surprises. WHY SO MANY FARMING GAMES?! 😩 Way too many, RPG’s. Also, I expected a big game, at the end. But I was expecting a delay, until holiday, 2023. I’m tired of seeing Kirby. I used to like those games. I’m over them now. Nintendo didn’t show this much love, for any other franchise, during its anniversary.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. The industry has become a snooze fest. The latest, State of Play, helped solidify those feelings. Over in the world of, Xbox, it feels no better. Basically feels like, “just wait a little longer.”

At least Goldeneye is coming out. I’m not excited about that. But at least people can, shut up about it. Let’s see how they feel, once they play it. N64 era, has not aged well. Now if Rare would make a new Banjo and Kazooie. Not that I want it, but I’m tired of hearing people talk about that, too!

Cleaners better than dirty. And ditty’s meaner than clean! 😂 Another “exciting” announcement. 😏

@Deviant-Dork Tiktok … Tiktok … Tiktok …

With the way, animated movies, are marketed here in, America. I could totally see, ‘Plumb and Plummer’ on a giant billboard, advertising this movie. And that’s not a good thing. 🙁 It would be nice to see this movies, marketed a different way.

@Migoshuro Me too! Remember the Nintendo, “Dream Team?” 😂

I’ve had this game, for a couple of years, but only played a bit of it. Now that I have an Oled, I bet this game will look great!

I’m glad I have a backlog of games. Once again, news that reminds me of how boring, the video game industry feels, these days.

Looks like something from a Hayao Miyazaki, film.

I feel so disconnected. The video game industry feels kind of stale. Another Splatoon. 😏 More Pokémon. Remaster of ______. 2023 and TBD, announcements of games, with pretty trailers, and not much, if any, gameplay. Mario Kart DLC. 😴 Yet another The Last of Us or Resident Evil, remaster. Lots of Metroidvania’s. And on and on and on. 😴

FINALLY! Quality of Life, HERE WE COME!!!

Articles like this, is why I was happy about the dude (in the other recent article, about piracy), being able to have his freedom. Also, why I don’t care about people successfully pirating some games. The majority won’t buy them, anyway. Countless times, we’ve heard about a crackdown on people pirating their games. But, they operated while Nintendo was making record profits. People can’t even make tributes to Nintendo. 🙄

Good for Lou! I agree with him, who cares. Piracy is nothing new. It will ALWAYS be a thing. But these companies, continue to make crazy amounts of money. How many stories have we heard, like this, over the years? Hasn’t stopped the money train. Hasn’t even slowed it down. The majority of consumers will buy the real products.

I haven’t seen a trailer for a game and was impressed, in a loooooong time. Looks like fun.

Edit: Watched the trailer a few times. Really enjoyed that.

The game industry feels like it’s in a weird place. Overall, everything thing feels….mediocre. Boring.

I assume NL is choosing to ignore the Direct leak. Why? They’ve reported on rumors before?

I have yet to see a piece of merch or clothing, with old school Mario print, that looks appealing.

@HammerKirby yea. I don’t remember any enemies, being that much of a challenge.

@Mana_Knight RIGHT! Thanks for reply! I’m having flashbacks of playing SA, years later. I booted up my Dreamcast and wanted to see how it played. By this time, we were far removed from the DC era. I remember being annoyed by the pace. Moving around in that resort, wasn’t as fun, compared to back in the day.

@Fizza ok. During Sonic Adventure, you play as more than Sonic and Tails. Actually, I don’t remember if you got to play as Tails. But you played with Amy, Knuckles and some cat dude who liked to fish. But if their included, why wouldn’t Tails, right? 😂 It’s been fifteen years since I’ve played it. Moving on from my bad memory! 😂 I remember the gameplay slowing down, not only with the other playable characters, but with Sonic, as well. He had to move through a beach resort. Ride trains. When you played as Knuckles, it was very heavy on exploration. But his abilities made it fun. The cat dude went FISHING, for Pete sakes! 😂 I don’t remember what it was like to play with Amy.

@Fizza You never played Sonic Adventure?

Is Pokémon Go still popular?

Guess he was to busy, “kicking ass and taking names,” to see what was really going on. 🙄

@sixrings But Steve Jobs was interesting.

@gcunit too much of the talk and not enough of the walk

Maybe I misread your comment. My apologies!

@gcunit I’m curious about your comment. Can you explain why you feel that way? I’ve always been baffled by his popularity. I never see anybody say anything other than how they like him,

I don’t think he’s a bad man, he was just a boring corporate figure. Everything he said felt so scripted. Even his viral moments. I always wondered what he was like, once he got home.

I’ve seen plenty of OG Switch and OLED’s, in Targets. But no Lites. Which is the one I usually see, over the others.

@Williaint I still remember seeing beautiful screenshots, in EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly, just in case 😊), back in the day. I remember thinking about how beautiful they looked. And being just as impressed, once I got to play it. The city streets, with rain. I loved the multiplayer mode. Great for a child like me, who, most of the time, didn’t have anybody to play with!

Metroid this, Metroid that. 🙄 SCREW THAT! I want a Pac n Roll remaster!

@VoidofLight Come on, man! It’s Hollywood! They can make it work! They’ve given us Battleship AND The Lego Movie!

I thought the Pac-Man pic was the new logo. I was like, wow, that’s cool. I click the article and see the official. I’m like, oh…ok. 🤷🏿‍♂️ 😂

I still don’t see this man’s appeal. Everything he says is so corporate. Maybe this book will actually show me something more human. I get his position and I don’t think he should be disliked. I just don’t get the amount of adulation he receives.

@Nontendo_4DS that makes so much sense, when I think about a lot of lawsuits, in the past! 😂 Thanks for replying!

Has Capcom released any new IP, in recent years?

It’s amazing how there’s always talk about people struggling, day to day. But people seem to always have money for lawsuits. 🤷🏿‍♂️

sings You can’t fight city hall! You can’t fight corporate, America! They are big and we are small!

It was my least favorite, until I played the Wii edition. 😂

@Serpo I don’t feel alone. Something has seemed off for a while now. People think I’m crazy when I express this thought.

I miss the Pixar from the 2000 - 2010. I remember when the discussion for a new Pixar movie was, can they pull of another weird idea. Not only have their movies dipped in quality, they have a Buzzlighter movie coming, and it’s turned into a “woke and woe is me” feast, over a kiss. Toy Story 4 and Inside Out, we’re the last movies I’ve enjoyed, from Pixar. They felt the closest to the era I love.

I was heartbroken by Soul. It’s by my favorite Pixar director. I saw Up, ten times, in the theater alone. The soundtrack. I played it hundreds of times (according to iTunes). Soul lacked that certain something, that I’d come to expect from a Pete Docter film. When the main character went from the human world, to the other world, I knew it wasn’t going to be a good one. It didn’t have the grandeur or whimsy, when those moments happened in his other films. I was falling asleep, by the time the body switching happened.

I’ve noticed that some of Disney/Pixar’s talents are moving over to John Lasseters new home. It’ll be interesting to see what comes out of that studio.

I miss being excited for a new Pixar movie. Going to the theater, opening day. If they really hit it out of the park, for me, the movie was in my head, for the rest of the day.

I went to my local Target, a week ago. Where I purchased by OG Switch. I saw a lot of OG and Oled Switch’s. It was surprising, because I’ve never seen so many, anywhere, at one time. I got rid of my Switch, but I might buy another one. So, I know where to go.

Why doesn’t the reviewer name the villain? I haven’t played Kirby, since Canvas Curse. Is it a surprise villain or some kind of joke?

@Kainbrightside I never understood the love for Reggie. Not that I think he’s a bad person. Not at all. He just so…corporate. Seemed like he was always reading from a script. Even when he would say things like, “kicking ass and taking names.” I used to wonder what he was like, once he got home and took the suit and tie off. For years, I read about this dude and would think, “who are you?!” 😂 Maybe my curiosity is part of what made him so appealing. I may not have liked his interviews, but I still wondered about him! Never did that with other gaming figures. 🤷🏿‍♂️ 😂

@Ogbert That’s how I felt, after playing Star Fox 64, on the 3DS. I hunted that game down. I purchased it, after Nintendo seemed to have stop shipping copies. But the 3DS was still their latest piece of hardware. Kind of surprised by that. Didn’t think Nintendo did that with 1st party titles, while the system was still selling.

I was so excited. I hadn’t played it since the early 2000’s. Had so many fond memories. When I finally played it, I was so disappointed. It was slow and the world felt empty. My memories were full of white knuckle action! 😂

I’m always amazed at how these graphics used to be mind blowing! 😂 I still think about the environment pics, for an unreleased game, called Perfect Dark. They were in an issue of EGM! Especially the Blade Runner, meets, San Francisco, vibe of the city streets. THE RAIN! ALL… JUST AS AMAZING, when I finally played it. Fast forward to me playing it again, a few years ago, on Xbox One. I was like, THIS IMPRESSED ME BACK THEN! 😂 I don’t even want to think about how Golden Eye would play today! 😂

I had a Virtual Boy, back in the day, I never dealt with eye problems. I had a lot of fun with Mario Tennis and Mario Bros.

So, he’ll be remade to be accepting of all sexualities, races, woke ideals, and so on and so forth. Throw in a non binary sidekick! 😂

Just a warm up for “you’ll own nothing and be happy.”

I feel like there’s a bit of shade in the “smells like money” part! 😂

Loved these games on the original PlayStation. I wanna say I played them on a handheld, too. Maybe the game boy. 🤷🏾‍♂️
