I hope I'll be able to use my last voucher for this.

The demo absolutely sold me on this game. I can see how the story could be a little basic, but everything else is just so crazy high tier. Definitely on my list of things to play at some point.

This game seems like it came outta nowhere! I've got it on my wishlist to try out sometime.

So much new stuff! I'll never be able to stop playing haha.

Hey yeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh yeah yeahhhh wooo!

Imagine a life where having someone send you a digital copy of an Eevee card can give you just a little bit of happiness.

It's so adorable!

Zero Mission is fantastic, and I love how it expands on the original game in a great way, but I'm not sure you can beat Pokemon Soul Silver and Heart Gold. Something about the style of the DS Pokemon games is just perfect, and these are definitely my favs of the bunch.

@Banks Oh yeah Teleroboxer is one I always wanted to try, and checking eBay now the prices are super reasonable... Maybe I'll pick it up sometime!

I got a used one on ebay when the prices were pretty reasonable. I think it was $50? I've got Wario Land and Red Alarm, which I think are the best games for it. Got my brother's 9 year old to try it last Summer thinking it would blow his mind, he was not impressed at all haha.

@Browny Oh yeah I have seen them. I'm just not a fan of the visual changes, especially the UI and fonts. I don't feel they gave them the care they really deserve.

I'd honestly just love a version that is visually identical to the original, but with fixes for all the bugs that existed, and an updated translation that reads better than the original. Maybe give it widescreen (but don't stretch anything, get an artist to expand the backgrounds!) and soundtrack option with higher quality samples.

I've been playing Arceus this weekend as well! Didn't think I would like any of the Switch Pokemon games, but so far I'm having some fun with this one. Really nice UI and I like the revised gameplay for catching and battling. Story is super basic as expected, but what's there is fun.

I'm so excited for this! The Splatoon 2 add on content was so good.

My guess is the Switch Flip!

Yay Railgun buff. That weapon feels so underpowered. Maybe they could also increase the fire rate a little bit as well.

My childhood! I still have a ton of these magazines in my parents basement. I put them in plastic sleeves a little too late though, so they're not in the best shape, but still very readable!

This looks too good!

I'm playing Splatoon 3 almost daily at the moment, so we definitely don't need a Splatoon 4 yet haha. I do love when they expand a little bit on the story with the single player campaigns though. Excited for the DLC!

That's gotta feel good, haha! Can't wait to try it!

I haven't cared for the "New" Super Mario Bros games, as they always felt like they were holding back when it came to innovation, and the art style was kinda bland. With this one they've finally given the art a nice new aesthetic and are tossing lots of creative ideas in so I've got a voucher waiting for the release!

I'll probably switch the language at least, but what would be neat is if they had an Animal Crossing style talking option if someone wanted some audio without having to hear voiceover.

I got one of these way back when no one wanted them haha. It works but has some issues. Maybe I should try to restore it sometime, and grab one of those flash cards.

Thinking about it, an awesome mod would be some kinda module that could plug into the headset controller port to give it rechargeable battery power and wireless support for other controllers. Would make it so much easier to set up and play.

Gonna have to go hard on the current catalogue. I'm in the 70's I think, and actually wanna finish it!

Rusty's Real Deal Baseball. It's been too long and I need more.

Other than that Pushmo.

I loved Mystical Ninja on SNES! I always wished we had gotten more of the sequels back then. This looks great.

Oooh I was wondering if they'd be able to do Tilt n' Tumble. Such a fun game.

On the plus side, I probably wouldn't have known about the game if this hadn't happened haha. Hope they get it sorted out quickly!

I've been feeling the Switch needs a tech upgrade for a while. My PC can run games at 144hz in 1440p and they look so much better than what the Switch can do...

But then I play a few hours of Tears of the Kingdom and for some reason that doesn't matter at all anymore.

I've got a voucher waiting for this one! Looks like a perfect sequel so far.

Nice! DLC season pass was on half price so I grabbed it!

Guessing he just played Doki Doki Literature Club haha.

Well done Monolith! Makes me feel even better about buying their games.

Looks super cool! I miss when Pokemon used that 2d/3d style on the DS. Such good games.

I got Spirit of Justice to play on 3DS later, but didn't find anything new on Wii U to pick up. Would have appreciated some more sales so the shop could have gone out with a bang instead of just disappearing

I didn't watch the video, but did he buy all the DLC as well?

Looking very cool!

I miss these games! They just don't seem to fit anywhere but on 3DS though. The Wii U one was fun but didn't feel quite right.

Condolences to Jason's friends and family Sounds like he was a real wonderful person and team member. I worked in game QA for several years and used to play a lot of Terraria with my friends and co-workers after hours.

I'm also confused. Feels like wave 1 should have been a bonus item that you get on purchase maybe? Also I don't like how you get a bunch of cash and boosts for buying the expansion pass. I tend to avoid that sorta pay to progress/win style crap.

This reminds me of the Fi fonts in the Skyward Sword remaster. Like they weren't scaled up to the right size. (Although I swear I'm the only person on the planet that noticed it.)

@Poodlestargenerica oh yeah I get what you mean. I'll also be getting this one on release day, whatever the cost! Hoping they'll accept vouchers for it though.

@Poodlestargenerica I'm not sure if it's bad math necessarily. When I was a kid a chocolate bar probably cost 90 cents, now they're usually over 2 dollars. The fact that the price of a new video game is usually less than it was back in the 90's is kinda crazy.

Having said that, I still can't usually bring myself to buy "premium" games brand new these days, unless it's something really special, because of the cost. Especially since there are so many great indie games that are often even more enjoyable for so much less.

I remember paying $99.99 CAD for Chrono Trigger in 1995. Apparently that's about $172 CAD today due to inflation, or $128 USD. No regrets though!

Final Fantasy Mystic Quest in HD-2D! Hahaha I'm actually kinda serious.

@GameAndLuke Yeah but by the time those formats are retired they've likely already republished everything on the new format. They're not just gonna give up on potential sales.

Like say someone loves the new Fire Emblem and wants to go play the back catalog, starting with the 3DS. There are like, 5 games there they could either purchase directly from Nintendo in digital format, or go to the used market and pay way more, where Nintendo gets $0, or they can go the /other/ route where no one gets anything.

Why do video game companies have to retire their old content? Imagine if the movie industry was like "we're just gonna stop selling all these old movies, you can watch new movies from now on".

I'm sure there's a way they can keep selling digital games for 3DS and Wii U on the web version of the store. What's the harm? Someone might pick up a used 3DS and wanna load it up with digital content instead of trying to pay a premium for out of print carts.

I thought about it while the article was loading and had the same numbers! Persona 4 is just about perfect, but the dungeons can definitely become repetitive. Persona 5 got that one right. And then not being able to walk around outside of dungeons in P3 Portable brought that one down for me, but still a great game overall. (If only they'd have done a "Golden" version of Persona 3 FES instead.)

I played this on PC and can confirm it's a ton of fun. I usually find shmups too hard, but this one has a great difficulty level and lots of cool upgrade options. Also the pixely 3d art style looks fantastic.

Such a cool trailer! Amazing music. Also this show wouldn't feel right without Reggie so glad he'll be there!

Looks badass!
