Tried to convince my wife to play this at my funeral but she threatened me with making that event happen sooner than I wished.

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.

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.

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.

Makes zero sense to start back at LCD

Looking for the "Yikes" option

@Toastmaster Right..... keep saying that to yourself.

Can we just settle on "Poor man's Pokemon" or did Digimon already copyright that slogan?

Still haven't figured out what this game is supposed to be. Warioware with Peach?

@gribb85 Perfectly reasonable point. Which probably means Nintendo won't do it.

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.

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.

Great game but hard to believe they are still making updates to it. Any word on the next game from this universe?

Nintendo Power Switch

Any chance it's Fable?

Only shocker would be Rated R and now I want an Adult Paper Mario RPG.

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.

@Solomon_Rambling Yep, I was born a year earlier and I'm nowhere near 60. Must be my cushy job.

Guy brings a world of hurt from the big N and we're supposed to have empathy? If he has a family, I have empathy for them. This guy made his own bed.

@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.

What's the prediction on low-life scalpers messing up the inevitable Switch 2 launch?

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.

It definitely deserved to be recognized.

And obviously the The Ghost and Mr Chicken for the ol' timers...

Oh no. Now how will anyone ever find it?

@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.

@UltimateOtaku91 Same. Never rage quit a game that quick. I'm sure it gets good but the controls are sadistic.

He's too busy murdering to do VA. Leave that man alone!

Getting old when a remaster is a remaster of an already updated game from your teenage years. I'd kill for a new adventure of Grim Fandango, or DotT part II.

@SpaceboyScreams 100% The classic temples are exactly the "something is missing" from the last two entries. They're fun but taking the most Zelda component out of a Zelda game just seemed like a really weird development decision. The fact they sold so well makes me nervous that they won't return to the earlier Zelda formula. Maybe I'll live to see that, but given their 4-5 year development cycle, I've only got a few more chances.

Spoiler: Peach dies

It was good, pretty much on par with the first one. I spent so much time with it, I could never go back. Still hoping for a more traditional Zelda at some point. This was closer, a masterpiece for sure, but not quiet the same.

Excited for this. Looks great. Only nitpick is dialog boxes look a little janky.

Screenshots tell you nothing...

@Rooty Leguizamo, is that you?

@SwagaliciousJohnson He applied for and got a job. Yeah, what a horrible person he must be...

@Pat_trick I'm old. i can remember when it was pretty much the gold standard.

@PokemonDMG LOL

@Nico85 Digital copies have ZERO resale value and ZERO collectible value. There is no benefit to digital version, IMO.

Absolutely not!

@Rykdrew Super weird comparison of an older game and a game that's not even out yet, but okay.

What is a book? Is that an app?

The Nintendo Sweuce

The Nintendo Sweuce (pronounced 'swoos')

@TotalHenshin I never played it but hearing that just makes me WANT to play it.

Checks calendar... nope not April.

@Purgatorium It did get frustratingly convoluted, for no reason other than being convoluted, though.

@mattesdude If only there was a way to search a vast library of data to find out what that acronym meant. Thank goodness you were able to help that poor soul, or else he would have needed to wait until something like the internet or Google was invented.
