Good. Arceus is really fun. My daughter's birthday party(ies) is(are) over and I don't need to bake any secret cakes for at least a week so I can finally relax.

Plus my self-imposed OP duties are done which is nice.
 
Nintendo buys Tec-Toy

Zeebo on NSO, here we go!!

(sorry, I'm still enjoying my crappy little system)

This isn't a hot take, or at least it shouldn't be.

The closest we've seen to a Super Nintendo-like system since then is the Xbox 360, I guess?

I think the NES was SNES Zero
SNES was SNES
PS1 was SNES 2
PS2 was SNES 3
Xbox 360 was SNES 4
PS4 was SNES 5
and now
Switch is SNES 6

not elaborating on any of this

The only reason I feel like you could argue the 360 is more SNES-like than the PS2 is that, if I recall correctly, the PS2 in a lot of ways was purposefully made hard to develop for so it would be harder for developers to port their own games. Which I don't think was a goal of the SNES, obviously, and as far as I know wasn't the case with the 360.

Honestly tho, the PS2 and Xbox 360 are probably more alike spiritually than they are like the SNES, perhaps obviously. Especially the "slowly lose exclusives over the course of the gen as more and more games get ported to new systems" part.

You can also save money on video games by checking out your libraries if you have some! Been able to try some newer games through borrowing stuff.

So the Switch’s successor will be called SNES: Like a Dragon?

I jumped at the title and then I read it again and it was the total luls.

Do walk us through your range of emotions. Were you crushed at the delay? Were you confused because you don't remember the game being announced? Were you happy because you thought there actually was official news about Xenoblade Chronicles 3? What was in like during those two seconds of your life?

LoL, I felt hope achieved, I felt relieved and it was the most amazing 2 seconds ever and then thankfully instead of despair, I just went for the luls. Awesome title.
 
I finally finished Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Pretty good. Rex was adorable as was his waifu and that made the story really cute. Really liked the other characters too. Brighid manages to turn that dress into the the pinnacle of elegance. Loved the use of regional accents. Great locations of course, even Mor Ardain in context (ugly on its own, but good as a bit of variety).

Once you get into the swing of the things, the combat is quite satisfying, though it really is a risk/reward thing. The philosophy of do the thing to set up the thing to set up the thing to set up the thing culminating in the big smackdown chain attack is super awesome when you pull it off, but when it goes wrong (for example but not limited to boss uses one hit kill attack taking out a party member seconds before you were about to initiate it, fuck you Zeke), it... well it doesn't feel good. But the way the chapter 5 boss went down? Awesome as they say. Also chapter 9 boss. Didn't expect that to go so smoothly.

And three cheers for the Switch and its (almost) smooth docking and undocking. Being able to pull the console out of the dock so I can take it with me to do other things around the house while the cutscenes play is great. I got so much housework done while playing this game.

The IGN guide is useless, sort of. It said to do the orb thing until he summons servants. Except the cock does it right at the beginning of the second phase. I finally did it by ignoring the servants and being able to squeeze out a dirty blade combo with pneuma for a not quite sufficient chain attack where fortunately a couple of specials afterwards were enough to finish the job.

And this was on easy mode, which I been running on since the end of chapter 9 where an intermediate boss was ridiculously overlevelled and I took that with a similar dirty win. Looking up what easy mode does, I think it can actually do more harm than good in places.

Now I'm free! Not sure if I'd want to do Torna though. I hear they add even more layers to the combat.

So you have to list the sandwich and describe the restaurant without naming it directly? I like that.

Last week I had a buttermilk chicken sandwich from archclown which really would've been much better with some pickles.

I'm really in the mood for fried chicken now :(

Every day I get reminders of why I simply cannot put down SMB3. Down 3 games to 1 in the semifinals, basically wrote off game 5, won it anyway, won game 6, and now I'm soon to play a game 7 to decide who goes to the championship series.

That's why Super Mario Bros 3 is the best, indeed.

Though I don't remember quite that much baseball in it come to think of it.

I get that it’s not what you’re referring to, but I read this as competitive Super Mario Bros. 3. The Wizard is come again.

WTF!!!!!

Watching the timestamped video looks like there was a misunderstanding, they do said they heard rumblings on the bigger side but they explicitly said they were not teasing anything with the "it takes two to tango", and Jeff proceeded to clarify he meant that both sides involved in an acquisition of a certain size need to be in agreement, and mentions that due to market reasons and inflation and whatnot there's some "urge to tango"

LTTP as usual, but I just want to say great job on the new thread @Dardan Sandiego. I always love the start of a new thread, and this plus the Yacht Club Games Presents makes for a promising start to February, the month in which we will also get a Nintendo Direct :sneaky:

#TeamFebruaryStaysWinning
 
What do you call it when Nestle illegally seizes fresh water from local populations to later sell at a huge markup to rich people?

An aquasition!

actually, you call it evil.
 
I’ve beaten seven games the month of January, not bad. Was hoping to do more on psychonauts 2 but had some things get in the way of that

My copy of Pokémon legends will hopefully be here tomorrow but I won’t start it till psychonauts is finished

I am still bringing Craig Spowser back tomorrow when I can
 
The Desert of Doubt in Four Swords Adventures is very fun and a noticable step up in quality over what came before.

(I'm going through FSA with friends right now and it's pretty good.)
 
Joke's on Sony and Microsoft. Wasting billions when Nintendo already got timed exclusivity on the only game that matters.

Only Japanese studio I can see getting bought is Konami.

Companies with ventures other than video games won't get acquired by others. Konami's major income source is the gambling/pachinko machine production, would be an useless purchase for platform holders.

So would Sega, Namco and Square.

Capcom and Koei Tecmo are the pure video game companies.

Man, I so want this game to have decent controls and such. I love the vibes and ideas of JSR but that original game (can’t play Future ofc) is just… so jank. My delicate Early Gen Z sensibilities couldn’t handle more than a few missions.
