I'm really looking forward to the Samurai Jack game this summer. I really hope it won't be delayed like everything else I'm looking forward to. I doubt CERO will affect it, but if the ESRB shuts down as well, or just the developer wants to delay because they can't work on it right now, that sucks,
I wanted Ring Fit Adventure regardless but decided to wait until my birthday (March 6th). At that point, they were hard to find and expensive. I hope that somewhere down the line when production can resume and we're out of quarantine prices will drop to reasonable terms.
I already bought Turquoise, and I'm not going through the hassle of swapping it for Coral, but Coral is beautiful. I wish it was a launch color, I would have grabbed it instead.
If this is true, I hope they add a bit of QOL improvements to Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. Make the camera align with modern standards and fix up the issues in Sunshine.
I played the heck out of the arcade version and N64 port back in the day, and I wasn't a Star Wars fan. They were just great games. I'm definitely picking this up.
I LOVE MK8D and I still play regularly, but I'd love new content, either via DLC or MK9.
I don't like the mobile game and I'm not really feeling the arcade version of Mario Kart tbh. I usually play Cruisin Blast instead. (please please please port to Switch or release previous Cruisin titles, or both. PLEASE!)
I haven't heard anything from The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe except for a 2020 release. I'd love it if the game made an appearance tomorrow, show off some video, maybe a bit less vague release date like "summer 2020."
No reported cases of Coronavirus, but all the local schools are shut down and I'm getting a lot of buffering when I stream video or play online games. I'm guessing my whole town is online. Maybe it'll help encourage more areas to get a better Internet structure.
I may be in the minority, but I hate these kinds of rumors. Too often I've seen "Direct coming next week!" and it doesn't come. If this leak is legit because this person is an employee helping to set it up, then I would like to see more NDAs being applied and severe punishment against those who break it to discourage others.
I don't watch Let's Plays regularly, but they're the second-best thing to a demo to get a feel for a game and video walkthroughs are great if you're stuck.
Nevermind when the Xbox 360 was modern gen, Nintendo was "childish" during the N64/PSX era, even though the N64 had Goldeneye. Before you argue "It was the same when it was SNES/Genesis (Mega Drive)," in my personal experience, the only "console war" was in the media. SNES and SEGA owners got along just fine. Maybe it was different for you, but on my playground, it was nothing but love.
But I didn't care back then. As the world praised their PSX, Original Xbox, and PS2 (which I didn't own until 2007, purchased for Soul Calibur 3), I happily played my N64 and Gamecube and still do. Today, I own an assortment of recent consoles and a gaming PC, but I play the heck out of my Switch and wouldn't give it a second thought to play it in public.
I'm glad they skipped it. It would have been too much to have the tribe and Robotnik after Sonic for his speed and then drop him because the Chaos Emeralds are so much more powerful. The movie was clearly written for a general audience while giving the fans a lot of references that they could enjoy without confusing someone who has never played a Sonic game or watched any TV show. I hope the sequel introduces the Chaos Emeralds and Super Sonic, and that Knuckles is a minor antagonist for a time
"Global shortages," that sucks, I was hoping for one for my birthday next month. Hopefully the virus can be contained soon. Sorry to disappoint, scalper scum, but I shall patiently wait for a restock and a retail price attached to it.
@Emperor-Palpsy I would absolutely love that. Some older tracks really benefit from the visual enhancements given to them, i.e. Yoshi's Valley and Moo Moo Meadows in MK 8, and other retro tracks have yet to return.
@electrolite77 @mesome713 My apologies. Apparently my information about PS+ was incorrect. I have never had a PS+ subscription and my information came from the Internet.
Microsoft continued to charge me after I canceled my Xbox Gold, nevermind that I wasn't getting the service, and I had to BEG customer service to cancel it properly. He constantly gave me sales pitches about why I wanted it and I had to constantly repeat myself that I don't want it. It was finally canceled but my tenure has been frozen at "0 years" for close to a decade now.
Nintendo gives no trouble and I can play Splatoon 2 online. That's all that matters to me.
EDIT: Apparently I have been given false information about the PS+ subscription cards. My apologies.
@KitsuneNight Indeed, which is a shame. The 2D pixel art games on the PSX are absolutely stunning, but they are few and far between compared to the 3D games.
Maybe the NA publisher feared that a hand-drawn cover would tell the consumer "this is an SNES-style pixel RPG" and we can't have that, now can we? Jokes on them, between the crappy cover and the lame "Quest 64" title, I thought it was a half-assed lazy attempt at an RPG and happily skipped it. Sad to hear it actually is one.
I'm sure we're all hoping for a new Mario Kart entry, myself very much included, but it wouldn't surprise me if the wheels are some obscure piece of some other title.
I guess I shouldn't have bought all those games for the Switch last year, a lot more than I did for Steam or the PS4. Clearly I am throwing money at a dying business. /sarcasm
I'm probably in the minority, but I've never made the Switch Sacrifice because I very rarely take my Switch out of the house. I cheer when some big third party game comes to the Switch for the sake of others, but I'll buy my copy for the PS4.
That's one way to enjoy handheld mode but avoid the dreaded drift. Too bad the Pokemon Let's Go games don't use the pro controller. Otherwise, I'd get one for my Switch Lite.
So I can move the many Eevee I have in Sword to my Let's Go games and have the original trio fight alongside my Eevee? Awesome! I never used Bank, didn't see a personal use for it, but since there's no nursery system in Let's Go, this suits me just fine.
I get a lot of Level 1 starters already. I assume they're breed rejects but I pass them onto others so people can fill up their Pokedex. I'm prepping a box full of Eevee's for Christmas surprise trading. Let the world be flooded with cuteness and may Pokedex's be filled as the cute little puppers evolve.
Several people, myself included, spamming "Booyah!" during several matches on the final day of Splatocalypse regardless of whether we were winning or losing. We were simply celebrating the awesomeness that are Splatfests and I sincerely miss them. Bring on Splatoon 3.
I guess the design is fitting what with so many clamoring for "something discrete beneath their TVs." It's a giant Roku box for all your houseguest knows. I won't be buying it.
