I find it weird when developers put “thanks for your passion and dedication” in an announcement of shutting down a game. Is it sarcasm? The game hemorrhaged 71% of its player base back in July and never recovered.

The switch has been an amazing time for me. I came in late (bought a switch lite and Skyrim in early 2020). But I had missed a whole decade of gaming up until that point. So the switch was perfect. Incredible new games and tons of ports plus indie titles made it the perfect console for me. I’m honestly not ready to move on, but with backwards compatibility I’m excited for the switch 2.

I made that mistake too many times over the years. Never again!

Western box is so iconic. And introduced the rumble pack!!!!

Pokemon cards have been crazy lately. My kids want to spend their weekly allowance on a pack and yet for the last MONTH, GameStop, Walmart and Target have all been completely out and haven’t been restocked. We ended up finding some randomly hanging in a grocery store aisle.

Nintendo has billions in cash and little to no debt. I imagine they could sell the switch 2 even at a loss short term.

Should’ve called it Legend of Zelder and made a parody film. Or the Saga of Helga and made a bad copycat film.

Asking for money to make a film with the same name as a film being currently made…yeah not gonna happen. 🤦‍♂️

The legend of standing around staring at each other awkwardly. Ooh horse!

A good game is a good game. I loved tropical freeze. Haven’t played Returns before. Even traded in that snooze fest echoes of wisdom towards it. And I really don’t like to trade games in anymore.

I’m completely ignoring all the “speculation” for this exact reason. Nintendo will announce the switch 2 when they are ready to.

Watched all 3 in the theater with my kids. Jim Carrey is a national treasure. Add on top of that the wonderful fan service to those of us who grew up playing Sonic Adventure 2. What a great movie!

Played it once. Completely forgot about it thereafter. Such a “meh” game.

I think the EU cover is beautiful in its simplicity. Both are nice though

Goodness! 16 years already!

Ah I see. Sony has gotten involved. This changes things quite a bit…

I honestly don’t understand the excitement for these games. Sure they were awesome when all I had was a game boy but that was only because I didn't have an SNES. I have absolutely no desire to play these. Oh well to each his own I suppose.

Yay can’t wait for my vote to have a 10% influence on the selection while the other 90% is chosen by such gaming legends as the LA times and Variety, not to mention 7/10 legend IGN 😂

Man the Europe/American box art just screams 80’s and I love it!

I’m just amazed that almost 8 years in the switch still has so much to offer. My backlog is mountainous

I think it’s funny that the Japanese box asks “what is it?” Because, yeah, that’s exactly what I would be asking if I saw this on store shelves 😂

Trilogy is on sale constantly so don’t know why you would want to pay $25 each separately 😂 maybe if they go 50% off or less. That being said finally got to play asylum and city. City is probably one of the best games I’ve ever played.

As a Sonic Adventure 2 fan that Japanese cover is just amazing!

THANK YOU NINTENDO I LOVE THE APP!!!!!

A photo ban in this day and age is just going to be impossible to enforce. I guess you could take peoples’ phones before they enter that area of the museum? Otherwise good luck!

Don’t see the bundle on the US eshop…?

I for one am enjoying the heck out of this in widescreen and with better visuals. Never got a chance to play this back in the day. Hope there’s no issues later in the game

“All I want for Christmas is Mew” that…that was just…beautiful

Regardless, I’ve never played a Yakuza game. And at $20 I can’t pass it up. 🤷‍♂️

@benmalsky198 I can’t tell if you are joking or not. Almost every Zelda game has had horror elements to it. ALTTP Agahnim killing the king, kidnapping and sacrificing maidens. The dark world. LA literally being a twin peaks inspired nightmare. OOT bottom of the well. Shadow temple. Castle town destroyed and filled with re-deads. TP horror cutscenes. The twilight realm. TOTK gloom hands. Ever mean trees. Shadow Ganon. Horror is a major part of the series.

@evanac Phoenotopia was very good. I need to get around to beating it some day 😅

To me EOW is itself a one off. Fun game for a single playthrough but I’ll probably never play it again. Overworld challenges were basically dead once you get a certain few echoes. Dungeons were the very definition of linear. Some of the most brain dead puzzles in the series. And you can just literally echo spam the final boss to death. But most obnoxious to me was the game was so sickeningly sweet. We need some more horror in Zelda games. When the re-deads are “cute” something is wrong with your game. 😅

The frame rate and the menu weren’t bad at all. 🤷‍♂️ Especially when you end up using the same handful of echoes over and over again. 😅

My mom found an original aqua blue 3DS in her house. Can’t figure out who it belongs to. It’s brand new. Crazy. She gave it to my kids. That being said its just too small. Hand cramps. 😅

I’m sure it’s been said elsewhere but guardian music for the alarm and then the sound effect for when it’s about to shoot if you don’t get up. It’ll work every time 😅

I came back into gaming with the Nintendo switch after a 10 year hiatus. Gotta be my favorite console ever. A great mix of new games, indies and ported/remastered classics. I decided to just stick with Nintendo and I’m glad I have.

Well now I’m even more confused 😂

First time I’ve bought a switch console as a collector’s item. Now I want the TOTK Switch OLED 😅

Only beat two dungeons so far. I got sidetracked with shredder’s revenge DLC 😅

Bought the game for $20 a while back. Haven’t got a chance to play it yet. I still bought the DLC 😅

I know it goes against the norm but maybe for once wait until we have all the facts before jumping to conclusions. I know…it’s a lot to ask…

I thought they were talking about using the word “cultist” in a children’s game until I got to the bottom of the page 😅

The American cover looks like two angry dudes about to kick some alien butt! The Japanese one they look…sad…depressed? So weird 😂

I kinda wish Nintendo would give Sony a taste of its own medicine.

Announce the name, release date, $400, and then drop the mic

😂

Do they become block people in the real world?

I guess we’ll see with an actual trailer but the live action characters in a full CG world just look bad. Crappy green screen bad.

My kids and I play Minecraft together often. My daughter said the movie looks stupid. My son said it looked awful but he liked Jack Black 🤷‍♂️🤣

The NA one is just classic. That being said I’m awful at this game. 🤣

Sound was all over the place. Had to crank it to max to hear. Seems like some sound effects were missing. A few frame rate stutters here and there. I never played the original. It feels and plays like a cozy action platformer. Hope it runs better at launch although a month away I wonder…

Definitely getting Stalker, Castlevania and Yakuza. Also looking forward to Epic Mickey and maybe the plucky squire and Lego horizon. My middle son will be excited about Goat Simulator 3 and the FNAF games.

Kinda irritating when they do this. I’m pretty sure the KOTOR bundle was like $8 a little while ago.

I haven’t licked a game card but licked my fingers shortly after. Worst taste ever 😖😅
