I played FF7 Remake yesterday and now I feel like it's a curse to be interested in so many different things. I wish I would just play like 1 or 2 games a year and really dive deep into those + some party games and fighting games. But noooo I'm interested in too much and then play every game to 30% completion, dropping it for years even though I had fun smh

FF VII is fun though!

Despite stretching the original eight hours to like fifty, the game is very respectful to its source material.
 
Hey all, quick q about sending in Joy-Cons to get them repaired. Gonna be sending in my launch blue/red joy cons for the drift (and also some rail issues on the right side?). I'm not too fussed if I just get sent back grey ones (fully intend to mod the cases for both if that's the case), but how often do they just send new joy cons rather than repair your old ones? My girlfriend has the animal crossing joy cons and they've been drifting pretty hard as well, but she doesn't want to send them in if she can't get the same ones back

Boy do I feel this. It's bad enough that I like JRPGs which tend to be on the longer side, but I also like indie and retro styled games and platformers, and puzzle games, and I want to play more visual novels and point n' click adventures, and roguelikes, and....

And then there's the problem of wanting to do things other than video games, and make sure I get some physical activity, and sleep, and work, and yeah just not enough hours in a day :(

Sorry, I completely fucked up the point of my post lmao

FF7 Remake is a hundred times more fun for me than most other games and I wish I would just dive deep into it again without knowing that there are 350 other games I'm interested in playing lol

Genuinely one thing I'm wary of with new hardware is if Nintendo decide they may as well plump for higher software prices. Switch software pricing for physical games in the UK is usually anywhere from £10 to £30 below buying games on PS and Xbox, so it still sits in a sweetspot where I'm happy buying lots of games.

Wouldn't be a complete deal breaker, but it'd be a bit of a bummer when I'm already having to avoid buying plenty of Switch games simply because time is a problem. It'd be unfortunate if I was also looking at price as an issue, too.

Yeah gaming isn't even my biggest passion but because of the sheer length of games it's the one I spend most of my free time with. And I really don't play that much relatively speaking and my sessions rarely go beyond an hour or two.

Since there is so much interesting stuff one has to really ignore many many titles, the biggest problem for me are old games. There are SO many games from NES to 3DS and everything inbetween (including non-Nintendo) that I still want to at least try out...

If I could only play current gen games I wouldn't have any problems with this, I'm pretty good at filtering new releases, the classics are what get me since you hear about them so much and many are super long franchises want to play all games of.

Some people were actually saying not just a Mini but a Partner Showcase. Still, if Mini it would exclude Pikmin 4.

It would have been better as a Partner Showcase too. Anything is better than sitting through that disappointment.

Replacement sticks are only 10 bucks and the process is rather easy (maybe not the first time, but there are plenty flood videos).

I wouldn’t send in my AC Joy Con or any other Special Edition one.

I guess they collect all drifting Joy Con and send out the repaired ones. That’s faster than waiting that your set of Joy Con is repaired.

Higher game prices is great to help me learn restraint but bad for everything else.

It's also great because it means more pay for the hardworking developers who work at companies that pay their employees based on their profit from sales of which as far as I know there are none

Remember when people saw this picture and thought it was a tease for Metroid to show up at TGA that year?

Because Reggie was wearing a Metroid t-shirt and the background image said "she."

When I think of Metroid, I think of celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck.

Not at the big publishers at least. There are a handful of worker cooperatives though, Motion Twin (Dead Cells dev) for example.

It’s interesting. It’s not really a popular idea to split the game up into parts but this is exactly how I’d adapt the Midgar section if I were in charge.
 
I will always have a sweet spot for Batman Arkham Asylum but I also hate it a little for popularizing detective mode and giving developers an excuse to just completely ignore readability in their environments. Literally can't play Tomb Raider without pressing in the analog stick every three steps to see what the fuck I can even interact with.

Easy way to get shouted down is to point out all the ways Switch carries on Nintendo's portable legacy more than their console one :LOL:

As much of a console player as I've always been, and as big a WiiU fan as I was, even I have to admit the Switch feels like a "GameBoy" that lets bigger stuff like Xenoblade come along to play, more so than a home console you can take places.

Especially when you look back to the libraries of Nintendo's home consoles vs the DS and GBA. The Switch is a JRPG/2D platformer/Metroidvania powerhouse, just like the handhelds always were. That sticks out to me because handheld is not really very comfortable for me so I missed out on a lot of the stuff from the GBA/DS years. When I was aching for a new top-down Zelda, new turn-based JRPGs, etc, all that stuff was on the handhelds and I knew it and always wished they could figure out some sort of crossplay with the WiiU.

Well, they kinda figured it out with the Switch. So I seriously feel like not just with the obvious form factor but mostly the library, the soul of this thing, that it's basically a Ninty handheld that I can finally play comfortably on my TV if I wanna. I just happen to wanna 99% of the time. 😅

To me it feels like they smashed a 3DS and a PSVita, along with the PSTV. Great stuff all around.

This with just once difference: DS instead of 3DS.

Switch gets nichest of the niche Japanese games just like Vita did. Hell, only a few Vita games left to get ported to Switch.

And just like DS, it has a massive Square, Activision and Sega support. Square literally throws whatever they find in their attic on Switch.

There's a little GBA in it too, Switch's Namco support reminiscent of GBA's. Of course, a tad bit better.
 
Has anyone picked up that retroflag controller yet? Sorely tempted, if only for the gamecubeyness

"Game Pass finances my Nintendo first party purchases" might sound like a shitpost but it's kinda true for me.
 
Hell House in hard mode is killing me, my god I just wanted to do my remaining side quests

I mean, TOTK in particular will probably be priced at 70€, at the very least. BOTW and Smash were the two sole exceptions for 70€ Nintendo titles on Switch (if my mind is failing me), for some odd reason.
