@Kiz3000 largely unrealistic and distracting. That sums up 90% of everything in a videogame. If I wanted a realistic and undistracting experience, I wouldnt play videogames.

Will these be a pal exclusive physical? I know ow I can always import, but prefer not to

One other thought, usually the bar code is missing and it says not for resale in that spot for bundled games in North America. If they do that in pal territories, it's likely not from a bundle.

If cex has it, maybe they are upping their reprinting game. The cex I have been to in the states used to reprint covers all the time. It was obvious inkjet tho. They may be printing alternative covers to avoid any legal issues, or whoever prints this stuff picked the wrong art. As to its quality, nice glossy paper and a good high dpi printer? The cex connection is suspect to it being legit either way.

Great game. I hate how they do these physical releases so long after the majority has played the game. I will likely buy a copy. Hopefully I end up replaying it.

@Anti-Matter what's your back up plan? I want a back up plan lol

Edit: my own back up plan is to delete my wii u sonic transformed save and replay that. It is my #1 kart racer game.

@LEGEND_MARIOID same, but for me the newest sonic racing game didn't hit the high that was Transformed. That game had the best singleplayer for a racer. Crash was fun, but I never clicked with it. I'm hoping GPs story mode has more going on than just races, similar to how Transformed had the extra events. Either way I'm excited to unlock new racers and tracks etc as I play.

I personally was bored of mario kart 8 back when it was a wii u exclusive. It never had a good single player experience like sonic transformed either. The new switch release even had all the tracks unlocked at the get go. And I believe the characters were all unlocked. Lame

This game has a new single player mode, hopefully similar to sonic transformed singleplayer. It has new characters to unlock and tracks etc. I can't wait to play it. Once I unlock that stuff, I'll consider playing more, but that's usually enough content for me to feel I've gotten my money worth.

My Xenoblade Pro controller drifts, I have a couple ps2 controllers that drift, and a 360 drifter. It happens to every consoles controller I would assume. Now we have to wait and see if it's joycon drift levels of failure, or just bad luck for a minority.

It doesn't look good though for valve, seeing as this person's deck hasn't been used for more than a month probably.

@MrGawain the difference is that Valve formed a line with preorders. Anyone who wants one just needs to get in line, aka make a preorder. That takes all the worry and hassle out of the situation for people atleast.

@westman98 You have little reason to doubt, but as long as you keep an open mind and don't just accept it as gospel, then that's all anyone can ask for. Trust, but verify. In this case, I didn't read the article and am not sure what you guys are actually talking about lol. Just reading comments!!!

Now all of a sudden everyone is trying to act like they use the eshops everyday, and are buying all sorts of stuff from them. I'm sure there are people using them, I just bought some stuff off the Wii U eshop earlier this year. I'm also sure the amount of revenue it generates vs its cost to maintain in money and manpower isn't worth it anymore for Nintendo.

Now everyone will flock to the eshops and buy up games they likely never cared about in the first place, otherwise they'd have bought them by now. Games they clearly can live without, since they've been doing fine without them so far. Much like the ps3 shop probably got a huge surge(I know I bought some stuff) and is again probably slowly dying down to its former low numbers.

As to this article, the preservation etc, this stuff is likely safe. It's not the 70s. Everyone and their mom is preserving everything. People will be able to pirate stuff they want to try in 20 years, pr they'll buy it now and hold onto it to play(like I will do). To expect them to forever maintain and sell every game ever made from now until the end of time is stupid in many different ways. To think it's some sort of right owed to us is just as dumb.

Remember, we will all be dead in the next 100 years, gone to nothingness like a tree chopped down in the forest. Play the games now while you can, and you can't play them all. Or do something with your life and stop reading this!!
Fyi, Ima play to I DIE!!! YOLO!!!$!$!!$

That memories website was cool.

My most played Wii U Games were Super Mario 3d World, Sonic Racing Transformed, and Rayman Legends.

1671hrs played with a total of 228 different games played on my Wii U. Love the Wii U!!

If they are atleast as good of quality as the World of Nintendo toys or the Mario Kart Hot Wheel cars I will get them. I have so far passed on the Lego toys. Those lego were just dumb looking to me and I was bummed when they got revealed.

I might have missed it, but is Jakks Pacific the manufacturer for this new toy line?
Edited: Read it again and yes clearly says Jakks Pacific

@Anti-Matter yes Cloud is iconic. The game Final Fantasy VII was/is the GOAT to many gamers who played it in the 90s on Ps1 and to many more since. There's a reason they did that whole FF7 remake after all. Cloud, a character from a 90s game, made a Nintendo Direct to be announced he was being added into Smash Bros. Huge name recognition, huge following. Iconic character from and iconic game.

@TheCold0ne Thanks for that link. Was able to order a copy.

So they take one of the most iconic FF characters and do this with him? Looks like it's almost guaranteed Sephiroth, Squall etc will be some kind of unlock.

I don't understand what it means that everyone has access to the season, but not the season pass?? What is the difference? I don't mind grinding for unlocks. I mind having to pay money, then still grind.

Was the new way they pay and reward their workers that they announced in January to cut everyone's bonuses? Apparently no one met the criteria of this new way, even the big boss only got close to 8 million. She usually gets 10.

I also get very worried when I see a game genre that's well established, such as a Kart Racer, get the f2p treatment. In my mind it immediately is the beginning of the end for that genre. Soon all other similar type games will say me too, and do some dumb f2p thing. I fear in 10 years time when half of nintendos awesome games are a service, and that is partly why I collect old video games. I will always have something I can play on my own terms, without some company wanting me to purchase gems and crystals and skins etc.

I was very excited until I heard it was F2P. For one, I wanted a physical version to always have and play. Secondly, if it was good I wanted to be able to play this year's down the line when switch is long past its prime. The idea of having levels and grinding races to unlock things appeals to me, but if there's no single player championship, and if it asks for money and buy gems all the time, no thanks. Hesitantly curious, but likely not going to bother. Chocobo Racing is still looking fun tho.

@Purgatorium I can't really imagine any new gameplay changes either. Good thing we don't work for nintendo lol

I thought he meant they would make games people would want to play in 20 years still. Games that hold up like your Mario's, Dk, Resident Evils, Final Fantasy and other classic JRPG games, and obviously 100s of other great games. Then I realized he probably meant live service games they can milk for 5 plus years. I don't mess with those games. They're more likely to create a flop service game no one cares about. I feel only few of those live service games actually succeed and most just slowly wither away after the initial release. Maybe I'm wrong on that, like I said I stay away from those games. I pay once and nothing else unless there's a sizeable expansion.

@Gryffin I don't read Twitter stuff either, but I doubted it was exclusive and clicked my way to the answer. Lucky for me their tweets didn't have a wall of replies so it was easy to find. I don't understand how Twitter actually works and usually stay away.

If you read the actual tweets it doesn't say it's a pal exclusive. Someone asked for a pal disc version. They answer it will be playable in pal regions via the eshop. Then they say its an eshop exclusive. Never said it's a pal eshop exclusive, just an eshop exclusive in general, and that pal territories will get it in response to a pal user wanting a pal disc.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was not the best. The Wii U game, plus the Dlc was. Why you ask? Because the Switch version gave you all the tracks from the get go. The Wii U version had progression and it was a game in itself playing the cups and unlocking everything. That was the funnest part for me, in any racing game. Deluxe was a let down when every cup was available. Not the best, Missing what the original had.

@OorWullie
I'm in the same boat. I should love the game, but each time I try to play it I end up putting it down and playing another game. Mindseize is the game I picked up instead this time. I'm past the midway mark and love it. Check it out.

It's way better than the Mario line. It actually looks like real original legos. I usually will buy any toy that is Nintendo themed, but those Legos I skipped, mainly because they didn't look like Legos to me.

Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights was a hidden treat for me. I recommend it to anyone who likes metroidvania games.

Bleed and Bleed 2 were both fun games. I would add them over a few choices on this list.

Does anyone know if all copies of the game have the pegi rating? Is there a north american version? I'd rather have the esrb rating if available.

I see these sitting on shelves at target and walmart where I live. I don't think they're selling too well.

This game originally had the physical release listed for a few weeks after its pc/ps5 release date. It also said it was coming out on everything digitally at the same time. I had it pre-ordered, then right before the date of the physical release they switched it to Feb 22. Hopefully that doesn't change. Either way, I already played it in Steam. Great game.

Depends on the type of game. 12 hours seems short for an Rpg, while 12 hours to beat a platform game is a lot. Metroidvaina games, anything 8 hours or more seems right. Resident Evil games usually take 6-10 hours their first go through.

I'm really looking forward to this. I hope it reaches Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed levels of quality. I will be buying this day one for sure.

I remember playing my first Zelda game, Ocarina of Time. When I turned into adult Link I was amazed there was more game left to come.

For my top three it goes:
Link to the Past
Link Between Worlds
Ocarina of Time

If you look on ebay you can find pages of these from China and usually cheaper than getting them from a store. The quality has been the same with the expensive ones I've bought. They're either coming from the same factory through the back door, or they are coming from a factory that copies them exactly, tags and all.

@JasmineDragon I'll leave the keys under the mat. Doors are unlocked.

If anyone's ever played a twin stick shooter, you move with one stick, and aim with the other. Usually you never let off of the sticks. With this control scheme the stupid circle reticle would be off the screen if you kept holding the stick the direction your aiming. Isn't natural, and you end up with the circle reticle doing all sorts of dumb stuff making the game feel more difficult. I personally don't aim and let go of the stick when I play these kind of games, so I just can't get used to how it behaves

I hate the fact that the reticle jumps around the map. If they'd have made it more like how crimsonlands works I'd be all in.

@StevenG do you throw everything away and buy it new again after one use? Is using the same game engine on multiple games lazy? Should they code a new emulator for each new rom they want to run? Do you try to reinvent the wheel every time you need to go someplace? Do you design new sneakers, and go to a factory and design new machines to make said sneakers, and then teach a new person to run new equipment to make your new sneakers, every time you need to put on sneakers? Or do you use what works already and is proven stable and you have on hand?

Switch, Ps5, and PC for me. I've moved away from my pc since the switch launch, and plan to buy a ps5 to play RE8. Even though my gaming pc would have better graphics vs the ps5. I plan on getting an Xbox someday, but years from now.

@Shadowthrone look at the Silent Hill demo on ps4. Imagine that was an actual game, and now its removed from the store. You never the game years back, but boy do you want to play it. Now what? You go on eBay, and buy someone's console who did buy it, and now you get to play the game, and use their account I guess. With physical, not a problem, except it is going to be a problem as more games are released needing patches etc.

@realityxaidan I think it depends on if you have ever played any Snes, Ps1 era RPGs. If you have, and you like the older style and/or can play the older style RPGs with the newer mechanics and streamlining missing then Id say play them in order of release. So VII, VIII, and so on. I personally loved VII, but these days I'd play VIII over it. X is great, especially leveling up, but it feels too limiting in exploration except in a few spots. X is where the series stopped using the overworld map. VII VIII IX you travel across the globe from town to town, and it is part of the grand scale those older games made you feel. XII is hands down my favorite. The battles are streamlined, you auto attack, but you set up conditions, like if HP<100 heal, or Enemies health>90 focus attack on them, so it is very fun to set up and tweak. IX I've never beat, and I think is overrated, I loose interest in the second disc. VIII has a cool junction system, and the best mini game, a card game. You collect cards by playing npc and its awesome. They're all good games, but like I said, if you like RPGs start at VII.

I have two of these so far. Can't help but buy these figures from Jakks.

The sword is sold out already

@papermarioamiibo people do not like the idea of a group of people buying up a product, especially before its release, to then flip it for a profit. Its seems like a fraudulent form of supply and demand. They wonder if the demand would have been met by the original supplier had not the scalpers come along. Its a problem with fairness, and at want point is this practice no longer ok. Since the product is a game, no one cares to stop it. Also the supply is still there, so seeing it for double its worth is just arrogance and people taking advantage of morons.

@sketchturner yes you'd be a scum bag. Especially if you waste time refreshing the page and order a lot of them to resell. If your buying just one to resell there's better things you could do with your time imo.

My son keeps having to sign into my Microsoft account each time he starts minecraft. I keep getting those emails saying a new sign in on a new device. They need to fix this.

Is limited run doing just the collector's edition or the regular version as well? I hope the regular physical copy isnt done by them. Anytime I see limited run doing the physical release I die a little inside. Im mostly dead at this point.
