Makes me worried that the developer is going all black hat for a game. Maybe it's normal but the fact their is a whole article dedicated to it, makes me wonder even more.
@Rykdrew I have high hopes that this game will be fun and entertaining, but definitely niche and can't disagree that it will probably join the bargain bin very fast. I'm just waiting for the inevitable Hollywood-esque blame the audience, if it fails. You certainly won't be able to blame the marketing team. Pretty sure everyone, even non-gamers, has seen it advertised, by this point.
@ThatZeldaNerd Well, to be fair, he didn't say it WAS releasing on MAR10 he said it would be nice if it was. I guess since he is a prolific leaker, it's not a wild assumption that he's implying that, though.
Wonder what took them so long? The Switch, regardless of Switch 2 delay rumors, is most definitely in its twilight years. Yet, this emulator (and another infamous one) have been around almost since the Switch was running around in diapers. By the time this move through courts, I’d be shocked if the Switch successor isn’t on shelves. My guess is this is to deter future emulators but that will never happen. Emulation is here to stay, hell even the video game companies use emulation. Also, there’s a good chance that emerging AI technologies makes it almost too easy to produce. They may kill Yuzu but they aren’t winning this war anytime soon.
Kind of bummed Persona 3 Reload wasn't on Switch. I have a PS5 but this just screams Switch game to me. Obviously, a conscious choice they made but the excuse of it needing beefier hardware is ridiculous. Not a chance that a platform that runs P5R wouldn't run this game. Lame.
I loathe spoilers. Especially in story-centric games. Game journalists seem to be the worst at exposing them, than any other category I can think of. Historically why if it's a game I really want to play, I try to avoid articles on it. Spoiler-free shouldn't be a tag on article, it should be the default. Obviously, a year or two after release, and that's on us, or a guide is by nature going to spoil. However, the amount of spoiling that goes on in the game industry, in article titles alone, is ridiculous. It's 100% about click rates and just a sleazy business model, to begin with.
Not a judgement of any kind, but somehow knew the Great Resignation would one day led to the Great Firing. Doesn't bode well for gamers, or anyone for that matter, but what goes up must come down. Just in my own line of IT work, I'm seeing much more applications for advertised jobs, where two years ago, I couldn't get anyone to apply. The job market is turning.
Like a Dragon: Gaiden. Almost overlooked this one but a good precursor to Infinite Wealth. Really enjoying it, a great in-game coliseum, plays a lot like Judgement but just as good, IMO. I know it's on the shorter side, but if you aren't a speed runner and more of a competitionist, there's plenty of game here. The coliseum alone you could sink hours into.
@burgerkingsauce I mean it was as close to a horoscope prediction as it could be. Almost zero chance it doesn't fit the next iteration of the console because there is nothing concrete in the prediction. So, doubt there is any way you can be disappointed from that vague statement.
With the recent emergence of HD 2D AAA games, I can see this type of format easily taking off. I don't know if this is the game to do it but I always root for inventive ways for games to succeed. "A rising tide lifts all boats"
@BenAV I'm the unfortunate soul that played II first. Now playing I and seems to go in slow motion. No battle speed, auto text progression, and saves take at least 3x as long. Saves that take forever are particularly noticeable in a game where grinding and save scumming is almost encouraged. Only wonder if it's any different on PC version.
@LEGEND_MARIOID Has to go up graphics and performance wise. Although still one of the best looking Switch titles, it's only held back by the Switch itself.

Maybe the actual ones with Mario will come down in price. Always a sale on any of them that don't include the plumber in red, himself.

Re: Video: Nintendo Releases Two New Commercials For Princess Peach: Showtime!
I don't care what anyone says about the audience age. I can't wait to play this. Knee deep in FF 7 Rebirth ATM but this might be next game.

Exact comment I made on here regarding the initial article. The patient bled out years ago and now they are calling the EMT?
Re: Review: Balatro (Switch) - Devilishly Compelling Cardplay, And A Clear GOTY Contender
GOTY? I mean I know it's probably good and plan on playing it but GOTY? Maybe for a niche category, I can see that.

Re: Japanese Charts: Persona 3 Reload Dominates In A Quiet Week For Switch Software
Poor Xbox sales. The only competition they gave in sales was to the PS4. Don't think the company's chatter did it any favors lately, either.

@gribb85 Perfectly reasonable point. Which probably means Nintendo won't do it.
Re: Soapbox: Game Freak Could Actually Learn A Thing Or Two From Palworld
I am amazed that the big N hasn't taken action on this game. Even if I think it's a far fetched infringement, myself, that usually doesn't stop them.
