I’m struggling to think of another mainline Pokémon game that’s weaker than BDSP. Even SwSh, which I loathe, I’d put above BDSP. They are mediocre in every way.

I can’t agree with this! Sword and Shield, what with their uninspired routes and unfinished campaign, are easily the nadir of the series. BDSP are just fine.

so why the resurgence of Donkey Kong talk? we haven't heard any rumors about that game in almost a year, I don't even think Nate or Emily know if that game exists at this point

Zelda I get, but wasn't Xenoblade pulled forward because of the Splatoon 3 delay to September? Other than that yeah something is definitely coming.

I'm not talking about the Xenoblade date change, I'm talking about it coming out in the summer in general. A game of that size I kinda figured might've been a big holiday release but even it's initial September release had me wondering what they've got in store for holiday. Now with Zelda's delay I really wonder.
 
Nintendo's final four months of 2022 theoretically has 3 games you can safely plant in it:

  • Splatoon 3 in September
  • Bayonetta 3 (probably, unless they spring an August date)
  • Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

That's a heavy hitting line up, sales wise, thanks to the presence of Splatoon and Pokemon. But it's not quite the amount we should expect from Nintendo at that time of year. 2021, for example, had WarioWare, Metroid Dread, Mario Party, Pokemon, and Big Brain Academy in that same period. Go back to 2019 and you get a similar picture: Daemon x Machina, Link's Awakening, Ring Fit Adventure, Luigi's Mansion 3, Pokemon Sword & Shield all made it out in that same span; plus DQ11 outside Japan and Brain Training in Japan.

So yes, it's 100% certain that Nintendo haven't tipped their hand for later this year, but I'm not sure we're going to see a repeat of last year when they wheeled out an additional 4 unannounced games all for that period (even with the Advance Wars delay, the later announcement of Big Brain Academy led to the same result of 4 unannounced games appearing for the final third of the year).

Firstly, we already have (presumably) 3 games that make it out internationally in that window, versus just the one game in 2021 (Pokemon remakes). Secondly, we have 2 more games that could launch in that window; Mario + Rabbids 2 would be Nintendo-published in Japan, and Advance Wars would be published by Nintendo outside Japan (no word yet on a Japanese release). If you add those two to the picture, you're most of the way there.

If you then add the 2 most heavily rumoured titles to that period - Metroid Prime HD and Everybody Switch - then I'd say you're almost there, and potentially "that's it". And in terms of exclusive software, that would be 7 games coming in a 4 month period, and it would line up with what we saw back in 2019. I personally don't think Zelda ports are coming; not so close to Prime HD, and not when new Zelda potentially launches relatively early in 2023, which brings me to the next thought...

All that bet-hedging aside, I can't help but shake the feeling there is something else. A lot depends on when the new Zelda launches. If new Zelda is this fiscal year, then I don't see Nintendo preceding it with a Zelda port 6 or 7 months prior to the new game's release. Annual releases aside over the last decade, I simply don't think Nintendo would need to do that with Zelda and I think they'd rather save the ports given how long the development cycle for new Zelda is (and, so far, given the absence of new 2D games for the series). Relatedly, if Zelda is still in the fiscal year and launches in March 2023, then Nintendo round off their fiscal year with a huge, profit-boosting hit, and so there's less pressure to be even more aggressive late in 2022.

If Zelda is pushing into the next fiscal year, then I think late 2022 and early 2023 shift a little because of that.

This could be because Nintendo EPD projects rarely leaks. Emily and Nate don't know of Switch Sports and Mario Kart DLC, for example.

Of all the surprise Direct announcements, this is the one I want the most. Give me a new DK(or Star Fox - I’ll take SF too).

I’m in basically the same boat - not a ton of opportunities for in-person multiplayer. Playing online is simple and is much more fun than playing against the CPU. But even so, I’ve had the game for over a week and I already feel like I’m done with it. I should have expected that, but still.. very disappointing.

This is why I’m going to skip Mario Strikers next month. It’s basically guaranteed to not have much in the way of single player content.

I will be fine with Strikers if the gameplay is addictive enough, but yeah, I get it. Mario Golf was enough for me, too, because every round is really you playing against yourself more than anything.

I suppose that NSS being easy-to-play robs it of some potential depth.

I wish the NSO apps showed how long you played each game

Or that I was smart enough to see where it does

When you are in the game select menu, tap "Y" and you can sort by most played. Once you highlight the game, it tells you how much you have played it.

Also, it you hit details for each game it should pull it up.

I haven't seen any Mission Impossible movies. I should probably fix that since I'm sure I'd enjoy them.

Once Cruise became a producer so that he could allow himself to do a bunch of outrageous stunts, they became tremendous fun. There's something different about it, you can tell it's not CGI when some of these ridiculous practical stunts are actually filmed for real, and it's nutty to see. I don't even know what the stories for these movies are, I just know every time one comes out that it'll have the best action and stunts of the year.

So basically yeah, enjoy. 😁

The worst thing about Remake is that they did a Mediocre job making Midgar Part 1 since you could see the areas they literally stretched it rather then expand upon the orignal.

The sewer level being one of the biggest offenders. The Train Station seems to be well liked but I found it to be bad overall that added very little overall. My least favorite was the Shrina Break-in.

What I intended to do on the flight: read and play my Switch.

What I actually did: watch Ghostbusters Afterlife.

What, you didn't enjoy an extended walk with Aerith to Section 6, while doing some crane puzzles along the way?

I enjoyed the extended sections in the different towns. But yeah, they mostly just stretched out minor parts from the original. The worst part about the train section is that you are approaching one of the most significant set pieces of FF7 and you even see the tower being attacked in the distance, but nope, you still got another hour or so walking through this train yard.

What's odd about Remake is that it's both a long game and a short game at once. It should take around 30-ish hours to complete which is decently long for a game but pretty short for a JRPG. Lots of stuff does happen in those 30 hours but it's only a fraction of what happened in the original FF7 which took only a few hours to get to the same point.

Which is why I'm gonna wait for the whole series to be out and then play it all as one damn game. If it takes a decade then it takes a decade, oh well. It'll probably be about that long before I have a system it runs on, anyway.

How hard is it to make cast molds of controller shells if you have absolutely no technical skills nor equipment and don't know where to start?

I'm presuming the only way to get alternate N64 controller colours is to make them yourself given how much difficulty Nintendo is having keeping the boring grey in stock
 
Dragon's Dogma is such a weird game in that it feels both generic and incredibly bizarre as a game. I still love it. Hopefully we get something for the 10th anniversary (or they bleach the Netflix show from existence, that could also be good)

I’d be surprised if custom shells weren’t available by now on etsy or something
 
it’s gonna be wild when Nintendo announces new hardware literally later this week, eh?

Playing Mario Land 3 right after Land 1 and 2, it's crazy how they made Wario much slower and weaker than Mario. I wonder if that was intentional or just a side effect of the hardware since it's so different by the time Wario Land 4 comes around.
