The Game Kitchen brought us Blasphemous, Blasphemous 2 and Ninja Gaiden Ragebound in less time than Silksong.

Blasphemous III will come out before Hollow Knight 2. Even with Ninja Gaiden in-between.

I remember when I bought Assault Suits Leynos 2 instead of either Metal Black, Silhouette Mirage or Battle Garegga. Laaaaaaaame.

Making the eshop not feel like the internet in 1991 would be great.

Blasphemous 1&2 are great. This will be awesome.

Wasn’t this supposed to be on Switch online like a year ago?

Blasphemous 4 will be out before Hollow Knight 2. And I’m ok with that.

@Synecdoche My source confirmed that they’re calling it the Nintendo Switch R U since a switch and a switcheroo are essentially the same but different. I don’t know what Nintendo is calling it, however. That’s just what my source is calling it

@PessitheMystic Nah, I reckon at least 2,000 out of 3,000 game developers work on cell phones and gambling machines, exclusively .

@Fizza If Lizardcube is doing Shinobi, it will be the greatest Shinobi to ever Shinobi.

@HankScorpio He’s only interested in things that appeal to very small children. Take that how you want to.

Blasphemous 3 will come out before Hollow Knight 2 and I’m cool with that.

It would be nice if Nintendo did some soul searching as to why there are non licensed controllers that are built well, first party controllers built poorly and licensed third party controllers (Hori) built horrendously.

How in the heck do you go about retroactively billing someone? What is the process for this? Sounds pretty wild, man. Side note: Anyone that sold their stocks ahead of the announcement are gonna want to lawyer up.

I thought we were getting Zero Mission?

@russell-marlow

I know, right?

Hear me out: A proper 2D Fist of the Northstar beat em up developed by lizard cube. It would be amazing.

What a time to be alive.

@CharlieGirl

They did this with the past two Toaplan releases.

Where the flip is Wolfenstein 3D on Switch? Tried the new ones but couldn’t get past the quick time event at the beginning of the first one and the 99% boring cutscenes and 1% gameplay of the second one made me want to jump off a bridge. 😂

Blasphemous 3 will be out before Hollow Knight 2. And I’m cool with that.

I didn’t even know it was coming. Sweet!

Call me when they hand out fire and ice lizalfo tails

Can we just get a new game already?

@cra1g0s Dead Cells does have frame drops on Switch in a few busy spots. I believe the PlayStation version does run better. I put a ridiculous amount of hours into the switch version and didn’t mind.

The Messenger is flipping great but in the second half where it becomes a faux metroidvania; there’s one direction the devs intended you to go and if you go the other direction you will be running in lackluster circles.

Hollow knight has frame drops in a crazy tournament section. Otherwise, I don’t much remember. I played through the most basic ending (there’s various “good” endings I believe). The game was hard for me to get into for a long time and when I did get into it and play through…I was pretty much done with it.

@smithyo Blasphemous 4 drops before Silksong. Hollow Knight VII drops before a Dead Cells sequel.

Blasphemous 3 will be on sale before the release of Silksong.

Day 1. So awesome.

That’s a lot of sales for a bunch of sub Valis garbage tier games. SOR4 and Final Vendetta eat the turtles lunch…which is probably a pizza.

I didn’t even know this existed, but now I do and I am so excited that it’s coming to switch!

@NESlover85

I was so mad about buying the plastic dongle e waste PC-Engine Mini full well knowing the collection could be on my switch where I wanted it.

@Classic603

The two easiest bosses in the game, yo.

Fusion is Metroid in name only. I’m pretty sure it was developed as an Elevator Action sequel.

Now available for a limited time on home video , we’re opening the “Nintendo Vault” for a new generation. Experience the magic and wonder of the Nintendo Animated Classic : (insert drip fed rom here).

So when are we getting fusion?

Played the heck out of Metroid II and then Tetris. Best version of Tetris ever. Sorely missing Solar Striker and Alleyway.

@a_brave_new_geek

I’ll come back to it. I just sort of played it SO MUCH. 😂 Love the game. But I wore it out.

Call me when they drop Metroid Fusion.

@Znake Oh, we all mind that they are NSO only.

@demacho

Yes, I did. As you can imagine, i was a real hit at Goldeneye parties. :0

In my opinion, developers hadn't figured out how to implement controls in 3D games at that point. The audience all looked like someone playing a video game for the first time: running in circles and into walls. I look back at early 3D as a shell shocked and traumatised victim of some sort of vile human test trial.

I actually missed out on the popularization of twin stick controls. I skipped the oughts and teens. When I first encountered modern 3D controls as a greyed and bald old man; I cried a bit. "They did it.". :0

@Znake “Back-then”, Goldeneye, Mario 64, Ocarina of Time and that Star Wars game had god awful controls and camera and were a nausea inducing nightmare.This wasn’t exclusive to N64. 3D titles on PlayStation and Saturn were awful too. We weren’t coming off of Atari 2600 when the early polygon games arrived. We were coming off of the best the 2D era had to offer. The contrast in playability was night and day.

I keep trying these N64 titles on NSO, giving them a second chance. They’re as unplayable as they were when they first came out.

@demacho Lol, respectfully disagree. Controls are horrid. They got it right for Doom and Doom II on switch. Nintendo couldn’t get off their butts and give the game standard twin stick controls? Zelda and Mario are unplayable too.

@a_brave_new_geek

The balancing changes everyday, it feels like. That kind of slowed down my interest in going for it. I don’t have time to re-learn what upgrade path will do what.

Holy moly, this port is packed with features. Even has “gadgets”.

@OrtadragoonX

I’ve been blown away how cheaply made modern controllers are.

@a_brave_new_geek Not sure if I even beat 2BC. You are legend.

M2 probably have an amazing port of this collecting dust while they wait for the funds to program an included Batsugan dating sim and Master System de-make.

@Orpheus79V

AFAIK, Pachinko revenue was better than ever in 2022.
It has been surprising to me that Konami has released video games at all in the past twenty years. Towards the end of the 90’s, I remember encountering Buffalo Grove employees that had the same depressing woes as the Bally/Williams guys: going all in on gambling machines. I certainly wasn’t expecting them to dump so many resources into Metal Gear. I digress. I lean more toward whenever Konami releases a home video game (including retro collections), I’m pretty sure they’re just being nice and doing the fans a favor.

No more Kojima sucking up all of the console game budget. They’ve been throwing us a bone here and there and shall probably continue.
