I was a major doubter on cloud gaming, but one of the first things I did when I upgraded to my new shiny gigabit connection (verizon was practically giving it away - renewing my old 75/75 plan would have cost me MORE money than switching to the gig one) , was take advantage of the GFN beta access that came with my shield. It works... really really well.

i like when capcom abandons an IP I love and someone else decides to make a clone of it with another IP (I'm looking at you crystal crisis)

get Garou & SF:30th for 3rd Strike and you've basically got the peak of 2D fighting perfection. 1999 was a good year

Torment is an absolute gem and anyone who has never played it should do themselves a favor. From that general timeframe its holy trinity for me with Deus ex and KOTOR. That good.

I bet Cornette just adores this guy

@NEStalgia as soon as I put Petra on the back of a Wyvern she turned into my go-to gal for the rest of the game

Edie got short shrift on deployments from me a lot because unless I was being forced to take her, tank that can't move very well was not the most useful choice in a lot of maps. Dorothea (dancer) and Petra (wyvern lord) both got a LOT of use, as did my horseback archers (bernadetta, ignatz and shamir)

every day, in every way, the kids make me feel like the old man i am

@andywitmyer I saw an article on Kotaku where someone modded the game so you could have tea parties with him. (And the death knight also)

I don't see myself going back again when Edelgard was so obviously right.

Battletech Center was the premiere mech game experience. They had a VR expo in Boston in the early 90's with a dozen pods as an exhibit, and a few of us spent every penny and minute of free time we could scrounge there until the expo was over. Memories!

Not a piece of Nintendo kit, but that absurd steel battalion controller for the original Xbox was one of the most ridiculous peripherals ever. When they first started showing it online it had me hankering for the early 90s battletech pods I spent way too much time in. Too bad the game was nowhere near as fun!

NSLU was some of the most fun I've had with a
Mario game in years. Some real nail biter levels in there, without the dumb "ride the rocket" levels of DKC that make me want to pitch my controller out a window.

it looks like they cribbed the environmental assets straight from BOTW, but the gameplay is totally different looking. having a hissy fit over it seems pretty dumb though

@retro_player_22 according to the reviews i've read, yes. the transition to 3d didn't go so hot

this comment section is less of a dumpster fire than i expected. what a nice surprise

sweet, i'm really looking forward to the game informing me of how bad i am at the end of every level. minimum achievable ahoy!

@cammy the account limitation they should fix for sure. as long as the account is on the console, and you're online, it should allow anybody to play/save games.

@Rayquaza2510 You can change which one is the "primary"' console , so you could set the new lite as the primary (allowing you to play without an internet connection) , and with the old one at home and always online as the secondary, it would be able to play also.

@Bloodmetal they already have? the limitations are

a) two consoles cant run the same game at same time
b) the not "primary" console has to be online to play digital games

Welp, I guess I know what christmas present request #1 is going to be around here

We have a powkiddy x16 , much bigger screen than this looks to have. Nes/snes/gb/gba/Genesis/cps2/neogeo

@Fazermint that's how i felt when i finished hellblade. "what were all those reviewers smoking?"

Hah. Brings back memories. My mom bought me #3 for Christmas when I was in 5th grade because I had asked for police quest 2 and she thought the box looked too violent and had no idea what lsl was. That was an entertaining morning

@Xelha freaking curse. Then your union leader goes down and you have to wait for the rest of them to get slaughtered for a resurrection. Luck of the draw!

I'm really surprised to see the 5 honestly, because I feel like this site has a tendency to inflate scores. This game was broken in a lot of ways on initial release, and I gave it up because of that, but I've been playing through it on my switch for the past week now and really enjoying it. It's not amazing, but it does enough things well , and I like the battle/progression system. Solid 7 in my opinion.

I don't see how they can make a profit like that

@Bunkerneath for a 5$ game? really?

Hoping to get some playtime in on this over the weekend and wash the taste of Hellblade out of my mouth.

@Silly_G it was one of my favorite GB games too. Great little adventure.

SE, where's my CT/FFIV/V/VI collection? Pretty please :)

(You can just stick CT in with the FF games and leave CC on the heap where it belongs, tyvm)

@Ralizah I liked my unbroken streak of stone awards when I finished. It's like when you die a few times in Mario u and the Luigi assist box appears like yeah thanks game I know I suck at this

and here i thought the price they were charging for the atari collection was ridiculous. silly me!

@NotTelevision

" For example, after killing an animal why does the player need to watch the same boring animation of Arthur skinning the animal?"

Because now the box can advertise 20 extra hours of gameplay if you have to sit through crap like that every time. It's like the FF games that made you watch 3 minute long summon videos every single time you used them.

This just in: Every game made in the last 30 years inspired by tetris

"Some of the young guys were playing RDR2"

STOP THE PRESSES BREATH OF THE WILD SEQUEL INSPIRED BY RED DEAD REDEMPTION TWO THIS IS A GAME CHANGER PEOPLE

The switch is building quite a nice library of TTB games. Even if a lot of them are ports, portable is the way to go with these timesinks.

One of my least favorite FF games. Never got the love.

PT is as good a story as any game has ever had, and part of my holy trinity of amazing games from my 20's (along with Deus Ex and KOTOR)

This is easily the best puzzle game I've played in years. Baba is awesome!

@JRJalapeno 29.99 (USD) for digital

@BacklogBlues - All these arcade ports let you dump as many fake quarters into the thing as you want to continue

No Christopher Lambert, no money. Highlander or die.

@Superzone13 description says price also includes big block dlc2 to release later this year with more modes

@Kalmaro that's the case for literally every piece of media you purchase, but that doesn't change your right to make backup copies of the media you have purchased a license to.

@Kalmaro Of course yes, that's why it's a backup. If you don't own it then it's an illegal copy.

@Kalmaro it's part of fair use case law, not legislation.

Even the ESA admits that on their website FAQ: http://www.theesa.com/public-policy/intellectual-property/content-protection/content-protection-faqs/

https://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-digital.html

Outside the US ymmv

@Kalmaro It's settled law in the US that backing up something you've purchased is perfectly legal. It's not really relevant whether nintendo "likes" or "supports" this

@Pod - To a huge company like that, this guy is just a liability waiting to happen. Their overriding concern is "make sure the shareholders are still getting good value" and literally zero else.

Give me a break. It's not his IP anymore, he sold it. That's how property works - when you dispose of it , it's not yours anymore. And why would they want to invite a legal liability to their party so he can cause workplace problems? Im sure McAffee doesn't invite John to events because he's a kook now too.

@MrBlacky Muzak is a term for bland inane background music that is completely devoid of any character like the stuff that's always on in hotel lobbys, elevators, etc.

Edit: It's actually a brand name for a company that used to produce it, which I never knew. I guess it just became a generic term like "kleenex" , "xerox" , and to my parents when I was a kid playing genesis - "Nintendo"
