"That's a much larger topic for another day"
Pretty sure that IS the topic.

I'm beginning to think we all have pandemic brain. If 2024 isn't the biggest year of over-analyzing everything, I don't know what year would grab that title.

There's something uncanny or really janky about the artistic direction of this game. Before you come at me, that's just my thoughts on what I've seen so far. I don't wish for any games failure but I'm really hesitant about this one.

This may just succeed Borderlands in terms of video game movie failures.

@trymer89 It's definitely more a thinking/take your time/puzzle type game with traditional dungeons, and I mean that in the best way. Love it.

This isn't personal, win or lose, Nintendo is required to defend it's IP. It's a slippery legal slope when you stop doing that and legal warfare is basically a corporate must. This isn't me siding with either party, just knowing how corporations work.

@TKundNobody I'll be honest, I never endlessly obsess about framerate, myself, but it is a highly noticeable issue in this game. I thought it had something to do with my TV, at first. It just feels janky.

Glad to be wrong but looks like shovelware

If I can't get it shipped from Amazon Prime or Walmart Plus, I'll get it digital. I avoid brick and mortar stores like the plague. My wife won't even take me shopping, she knows I'm too old and grumpy.

Astro Bot. Damn what a game. I literally thought it would be okay and scores were probably overblown. They aren't. One of the bast platformers I've played in years, including the mustached plumber in the red hat.

@premko1 It all sounded like gibberish to me.

Patent infringement. Uses animals in a platformer while playing funky music.

@Twilite9 The one you could find relatively cheap.

Almost certain to be shovelware. Seems to be a lot of that these days...

Unless I just missed the point of this, I'd prefer something new. If it's an existing IP, a surprised launch of Elder Scrolls 6 running smoothly on Switch 2 would be a nice "Skyrim" moment.

@fpcreator2000 I love these games but the "graphics are too good" is ridiculous. If anything I wished they used a more modern looking engine.

Well, to be fair, it was more of a reveal to Asia but it's obviously coming to the West at some point. Unless it pulls a Concord.

Now that they said these games aren't canon, this book kind of takes some of the wind out of my paraglider.

@Folkloner Beat out by Nintendo Switch Sports, that's hilarious.

@N64-ROX Stress usually has the opposite effect. Urban legend the Marines would put salt-peter in chow hall meals to make recruits not think about that but truth is stress is a mood killer. Not that we saw much of the opposite sex to begin with. It was extremely rare.

ME trying to remember if I played this on another platform before, or not. Sucks getting old.

Honestly, I think it's nostalgia for some of us but don't think it hits that hard with newer generations of gamers. Although, I'm always down for more choices in games, this was probably a good call on their part.

"Plus, all feedback had to be constructive, like any good workplace." So, basically no real actual workplace?

@Anti-Matter I'm all for choices and more options. You have the option to just skip it.

Glad I didn't shave my legs for this.

@eltomo Doesn't look like Metroid either. Your turn. What game are we playing?

Sorry, that just seems weird to be able to do a physical game but not at launch. What a crazy time we live in. I hope the game is good but this seems completely avoidable.

Not really into this hobby, but personally, and if I was, I'd just try to avoid buying 3rd party, period.

@SillyG So, you are saying Zelda gets respect?

A (not so) spoiler alert: It sucks

@NatiaAdamo Geez I googled that just to learn GameInformer died. RIP

Playing through The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak right now. Probably 60 hours in and only about 2/3 finished. Love me some Falcom games.

I previously said earlier this year, Nintendo was about to hit a big drought. I also said, if I was wrong, I'd eat my hat. I'm now just trying to figure out if it goes down well with ketchup.

Thought it was Futaba Sakura from PR5, at first.

Is this a joke?

@axelhander Well, who can blame him?

@Aiwen About 30 hours, plays a lot like Ys series, even though I've played a lot of the TLOH: Trails series. I love this game but weird they don't utilize better graphics. I'm playing it on PC and even with everything maxed out, it blazes so fast you wonder why not just use a better engine?

They showed Link in the beginning of the reveal. It may just be as simple as that. Him fighting through the first stage only to be captured.

Dunno about this. So much technology and tolls these days. Gonna go retro, at least make it look better than that. That's very hard to look at.

Mario has Wario. Birdo has Emio. Sh1t is about to get real....

@-wc- not even for half that

@CaleBoi25 I thought so two. Got alot of misstakes. Whose in charge hear?

Companies have to defend their IP almost to a ridiculous nature because if they set any precedent of allowing inappropriate use, it makes every case they bring after that harder to defend. This is why you see them bring C&Ds against items you probably wouldn't expect.

Wasn't worried. I get why some people might be worried but good luck trying to prevent it from happening. I'm sure hand-drawn animated artists felt the same way when computers first came along. It's happening, whether we want it to, or not.

Comment section never disappoints. I love to read these when I think I'm having a bad day, then realizing someone probably lives with this person.

I'm going to be in the minority here and say it looks like something that may be over-hype and will wind up with a 7 review. Flame away.

The thing with these editions is even if I bought it, I wouldn’t have the gonads to open it up and allow it to be used. Too gorgeous to use and almost too much to put on a shelf. Gonna be a scalpers dream, though, especially if they are extremely limited.

"There will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during this presentation."

Dang, that's pretty direct in itself. Usually the Big N doesn't comment about stuff that it's NOT going to do. That seems unusual for them, but appreciate the directness before the direct.

I spent about 6 hours in the original, put it down and never came back. Not sure if I’m giving it a second chance but that’s just my personal experience

@RainbowGazelle Yeah, I kept skimming the article to read why it wasn't JUST a high-def upgrade, but all I read was it was a high-def upgrade. Feel free to humiliate me and quote the part that shows where I'm wrong. I can take it.
