I’d say no. Death’s Door’s post-game bonus ending just a lore dump about the ancient history of the world, specifically how it ties into to the developer’s previous game , and collecting all the necessary bits is not enjoyable (beyond just the seeds) unless you’re really into collectathons or “completion”. There’s also just one minor boss battle and one challenge room, so not much of note in terms of gameplay content.

The only known releases this year that could come close I think are Horizon 2, Elden Ring (I don’t think Souls fans are nearly as many), and BotW 2. Pokémon is huge enough and people seem super hype for it.
“This thread stinks”. You should totally rip off that old EB advertisement.

Wrong Sony exclusive, I think. God of War Ragnarok will likely be their best seller this year (if it ends up releasing), but I don't think it will come close to challenging Legends (or BOTW2)

Xbox sure as hell doesn't need anyone else lol. Sony you can make the argument for, since Microsoft is gonna dominate in that space soon.
Meanwhile Nintendo and Meta (because VR domination) will just be watching with popcorn.

Next thing you know we'll hear news of a Nintendo-Sega merger and with that Bayonetta will officially be a Nintendo character, there will be more systems available for NSO, and we'll finally get a mainline SMT character, or Jack Frost, in the next Smash Bros.

Ehh. Doesn't change the fact that Quest 2 is still outselling all the other VR headsets by a significant margin, and I don't see that changing any time soon.
Also, why is everyone on gaming forums so against VR becoming a big thing? It's the next meaningful evolution of the gaming landscape and it's starting to become mainstream. If it was gonna die out, it would have by now. And I really hope it doesn't.

I have literally no clue what this sentence means, it reads like a foreign language to me, lol.
As for VR, I've... never tried it? So I can't really have any major opinions on it. Unless VR really goes big or starts getting games that I actually want to play in it, I'm not really interested, honestly.

I'm saying Meta (Facebook) is the driving force of Virtual Reality gaming right now. The Quest 2 is selling a ton. Your opinion on it is up to you though.
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Reading this (and some quick googling) is telling me that I'm very behind the times, so that partially explains it. For one, I vaguely remember Facebook deciding to change to "Meta", but I honestly thought that was some sort of joke. Apparently not. Also, while I've heard of the Oculus Quest/2, I had no idea it was affiliated with Facebook in any way, let alone that it was MADE by them, huh.
This is making it very clear that while I keep pretty up to date on most gaming and tech news, I know absolutely nothing about VR, lol

Huh? Most VR games are Indies, and great ones at that. What makes VR any different than Xbox, Playstation, or Nintendo? It's literally just a different format of view. This opinion literally makes zero sense at all.

Speaking personally, I can’t really support a gaming peripheral that forces the user to completely isolate themself from reality for any amount of time. I won’t judge anyone who wants to do that, but it just doesn’t mesh with how I want to live my life.
Also, I have yet to see it transcend novelty status. It’s how I felt about motion controls, though obviously VR is a more impressive technological achievement.
Also also, fuck “Meta” and everything that bears their trademark.

Oh for sure. There's no argument there. But Facebook isn't the only one doing VR, they're just the current leader. Hopefully some day that'll change, with Playstation or Valve or another company taking the reigns. But for now, we're stuck with the Zucc.

That's a super impressive speed run, kudos! NSMB Wii is really under-appreciated. Incidentally, I really enjoyed the speed run challenges in NSMBU. I hope the next mainline 2D Mario has something like that included. It was cool to see medal challenges like that in the main campaign in SMM 3DS too.
Hey I'm from WNY originally! With the pandemic and everything I haven't been back in ages though. Small Famiworld. I was just thinking recently about that strange pizza style in Schenectady where they put the sauce on top of the cheese....
Glad you dug it! I really think every one of the PM games is somewhere between really good and amazing, especially taken on its own merits. Even Sticker Star. For one thing the jazzy OST of that one is supremely awesome. I bet outta resident TOK OST superfan @Raccoon would dig it.
I'm really hoping we see more Pushmo one day.
Thanks all for pointing me in the right direction on the BC sale. I just got to play a game today (OoT) for the first time since the end of November, so the XSS I got for X-Mas is still in the box. I'm excited to try out Sonic Generations on it as my first real 3D Sonic. I feel like I've been planning that for a year plus now though, lol. I definitely plan to make Tunic my first new release XSS game. Cute mascot games forever!
You gave me some serious nostalgia reading this post. When I used to see the SML 2 box at KB or wherever the box art would fill my imagination to the brim. Especially the boxing shark. And then when I actually got it and discovered it had legit save files, it felt like an evolutionary leap over SML. The SML series was really filled with unbridled creativity. The music for those Zones started playing in my head as you mentioned each one. I'd love to see a return to the bizarre world theming of SML.
I did my Captain Toad replay just to get all the gems in ... I can't believe it's been nearly two years. April 2020. At the end of that I discovered I needed to do the checklist item for each level to unlock the remaining secret levels. So I definitely plan to go back and do that at some point. I hope we get a sequel built from the ground up for Switch. It was a nice touch finding El Capitan Todd in Odyssey.
Oh phewwww I was so worried it crashed and burned hard and nobody got it
That sucks, I'm sorry to hear it. Thanks for the translator tip, too. Is it possible to buy eShop cred in the currency the 3DS is linked to and manually add it to that account?
This is so wild to me. These pictures don't usually get me but like ... I have such vivid memories of getting the 3DS in late 2011. It's one of the things that seriously pulled me back into gaming after 5 years or so of much less interest. My wife was really into some of the DS games so I got her a 3DS with 3DL packed in. I took her on an impromptu day trip from Vermont (where we were living at the time) to NYC. We had to get up super early and we got back sooo late and it was snowing and the roads were poorly paved and this 711 coffee was just barely fueling me.
But it was so nice to go to NYC and I think this is the last time we went there which means somehow it's been a decade since we've been. We went all over the places we used to frequent when we lived in Queens, got some amazing Neapolitan pizza
in the East Village, went to Times Square and Chinatown. Got this legit Oaxacan food with cactus leaf tostadas. It seems like just a few days ago. At the end of the trip I got the wrapped 3DS out of the trunk and gave it to my wife. We still have it now and the R button is a bit wonky but it's still working otherwise and it's seen so many hours of fun and joy. I'm really glad I caught that boat back the world of gaming when I did.
I can definitely see the appeal of the longer length but for the add-on never worked as well as the incorporated version. Like I really struggled with it in Wii Fit and Skyward until getting the built-in one. So I'm glad they made both versions.
That is legitimately super fascinating to me. Please keep the weeb history lessons coming. Did y'all know that in early 1600s Korea, the king liked the japchae his cook made so much that he promoted the duse to secretary of treasury? If you eat the dish you can see why though. It's a delectable tangle of stir-fried sweet potato starch noodles.
Those are so cool. I really like the Timber one. I'd be so jazzed to see that character make a comeback. That DKR 2 rumor for Wii U had me hoping for a long time.

Great timing! That is a really cool statue. I've see it before but I didn't know it glowed in the dark. It's so crazy to think it's been 8 years since the 3DS version. 8 years?? Like...how can that be.
That is so rad. I love learning behind the scenes stuff like this. Please keep 'em coming.
Playing NES Remix really have me an appreciation for that one. Plus, cute penguins!
Hey I think it's really rad that you can just be yourself and play your Switch during your treatment. A lot of people are so concerned about what people think that they won't game in public at all. Heck I know people at my job think games are infantile so I try not to talk about or play games there and reading your post has me reevaluating myself there.
Lost was such a crazy cultural phenomenon. I got so sucked into the early 00's internet fandom, especially the ARGs where it was tough to tell for sure what was made by ABC and what was fanmade. It really made the wait for the next episode all the more engrossing.

One easy way to add a pic you took on your phone is to go to http://abload.de, upload it for free, copy the direct link, and paste it in IMG tags here. You could also click the image icon at the top of the post editor and paste the link in there and hit enter. It's the icon right next to the hyperlink one (chain icon).

I have a smaller collection, mostly NA, but the one I regret not getting before it shot up in price is Qbby.@Skittzo I almost forgot to add my video game merchandise post. here is my full amiibo collection.

I've only used VR at a friend's, but I'm convinced having people laugh at you as you move around like a lunatic on crack is half the point. It's only isolating if you want it to be.
In a similar vein, a Nintendo Land 2 where the GamePad is replaced by a VR headset is my dream local multiplayer game.

One thing is for sure, I'd much rather see a new VR headset than another "OMG there's more pixels" game console. I'm so sick of people who think graphics and resolution is everything. I can't even tell the difference between 1080p and 4K, much less 8K. Like can't these game companies try anything else? For example, haptic feedback is great. Gyro is great. I love the duelsense touch features. Motion controls are awesome. But games look fine as is.
