My brain can't fathom how crazy 2023 already is and how insane the rest of it will be. I haven't come off of the high from the Direct yet. Insane.
I hope Advanced Wars is the December title. And that it'd polished as heck!

Random note but I really want a brand new 2D Mario soon.
I do not even need it to do anything super crazy. 2D Mario I am totally fine with being pretty simple. Good ol classic ol jumpin'.
I DO want some new themes. More unique and interesting themes for levels.
Start with a simple Grass World. Then you get to a world themed after New Donk City, where you jump on scyscrapers and cars and etc. Then maybe a Dinosaur World. Hell, do a 2D Galaxy-like world with small planetoids and whacky gravity. Have a entire world take place inside a giant whale, why not?!
Point is, I want a new 2D Mario.

Idk about December since Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is releasing in Japan on December 2nd and that is Nintendo published (Ubisoft publishes everywhere else) but I guess they could have 2 Nintendo published games that month.

Yes!! I know a lot of folks on here are probably looking forward to 3D Mario, but we haven't had a real burst in 2D Mario creativity in a while. I felt like this would be one that comes out with the eventual movie and that the Odyssey follow up is saved for Switch 2. But now I'm not so sure a Switch 2 is happening before 2024.

I am very very excited for the next 3D Mario as well, but yes, while we got NSMBUD and MM2, it has been forever since a 'brand new' one, and my old brain craves new Mary Oh XD
I could totally see a 2D Mario being in promotion alongside the movie, yes. IF they save Odyssey 2 for the next proper console, then at least give me that, Nintendooo

My to play pile would take too much to post. Currently juggling XBC3, FEWTH and TGAA with Little Noah as a pallet cleanser. Hoping to actually get in some game time this afternoon
Advance wars isn’t releasing in Japan so no issue there
True! Completely forgot about that.

They had a fire emblem game for their anniversary, so I really doubt there will be no metroid prime related stuff for November - maybe the whole metroid prime remaster thing is much smaller than what we are expecting and it'll be only a shadow drop timed release
It's basically a constant in the universe.

If Nier Automata runs on Switch then Replicant should be very doable no?

Kirby’s facial hair looks like a wrestling singlet. Try to unsee it everyone.
On paper: absolutely.
I do think, though, that the Replicant remaster is generally in a somewhat rougher technical state than Automata is; the latter definitely did profit from the work PG/S-E did for the Xbox version and PC "rerelease"/patch, and I assume the Switch version's based on that latest iteration. Replicant is more akin to Automata's first release back on PS4/PC, which definitely felt and looked somewhat less polished than it does now. I guess they'd have to do some optimisation for Replicant on Switch, then, but generally the game's not super demanding. Overall: doable port in my opinion, and a question of time more than anything else (and maybe of how well Automata sells on Switch?).

It will be since I never played the originals. There is a scrapbook feature that goes over the old games at least. Might need to watch some play throughs the first games.

Thankfully probably won’t be much of a rehashing since the ports won’t be up for awards or anything, just a bit here and there.
And I had written off TLOUP1 as a GOTY nomination because it’s a remake/ster and that game has already been nominated for and gotten everything anyway, but yeah, it getting the nod at TGAs would be the most TGA-ass thing
- Pronouns
- He/Him
I'd expect so, as playing through both back-to-back it's noticable that Replicant is still set up like an older game. The areas are segmented rather than seamless like Automata, and they aren't nearly as detailed and densely packed with assets as Automata's are. Those two factors alone should make it easier for Switch to handle than Automata, without knowing anything about the underlying programming.
Plus (not to open a can of worms) but Yoko Taro pointed out the game started as a simple up-res remaster but then he wanted to improve some models and backgrounds so it ended up a bit more involved, but still not a "remake." So, depending on how they went about it, it's still a PS3 game underneath to some extent. Which the Switch should be able to run just fine.

Advance was the death of Nintendo war’s popularity in Japan as a series
- Pronouns

It’s amazing how this series went from Japan only to not releasing in Japan. Games must have done poorly there. Days of Ruin never released until it was a club Nintendo 3DS download reward. This new one has had zero info on a Japan release, but assumed it would get something over there.

You haven't, but I am aware. A friend of mine came to visit years ago and the staff at the airport literally had her in tears from the way they were talking to her. Another friend came out a couple years later and was lost in the LA airport and was getting no help from anyone, just circling the terminal asking for help and being dismissed by everyone.
American people were already shit to them before they even left the fuckin airport.

A Song of Ice and Fire |ST| A Dream of Spring
What better way to greet the Spring time than with the title A Dream of Spring which I'm sure – and I have it on good authority – will arrive in a timely fashion right after The Winds of Winter this year soon afterward! ... So anyways, back to the grimdark reality that is A Song of Ice and...

Are you saying that Germans are just as cold?
Because Europeans (in general, not every one of them) come off as more social and colorful than Americans, at least at times (in my experience).
Every American I know has a problem with their family (family estrangement) and has some sort of mental problem and seems ready to get angry and snap.
And as someone that deals with mental health issues, I can relate to dealing with mental illness, but I'm just saying: that seems to define American attitudes a lot from what I've seen.
To be fair:
I'm comparing Americans to Latin Americans, not to Europeans.
But given that I have Turkish ancestry and have been to Turkey, I can tell you that people there are more friendly and social than Americans and seem to have less personal baggage to them.
Less "toxicity," so to speak.
Gah! Hard to explain.
I'm basically trying to pin down what makes American people "different" from the rest of everyone else and I think the "social-type" is definitely one of 'em.

Well, I study communications and sociology. I'm majoring in Communications, in fact.
But I've read a lot of what actually defines American culture and the idea that Americans are "cold" compared to others, at least certain cultures, is... interesting.
We assume that people are the same everywhere because Americans are somewhat aware that the "rest of the world" is Westernized or Americanized (except for a few exceptions).
But my experience with, say, my Chinese friends (maybe they're one of the exceptions?) is that Americans come off as having a chip on their shoulder or being... distant.
Not necessarily; it's simply something people are said to be saying about us Germans, that we're kind of reserved, pragmatic and not super open or proactively friendly towards strangers. Which might as well be as much of an unfounded generalisation as many other things people keep saying about, well, other people and groups of people.
I was merely interested in hearing/reading about your potential experience with folks over here in Germany, haha.

My experience with German folks is the opposite, though I have heard the same thing about Germans and other people more up north in the continent.
For example: comparatively, I would say Germans are more sociable. But that's not saying much. My Finnish friend was saying the same thing. Comparatively, Finns are more sociable compared to Americans but it wasn't saying much.
One thing he noted was the fucking lawns.
Everywhere in America is filled with suburbs and every suburb has lawns everywhere.
Even my Chinese friend was remarking on how you have to drive everywhere to get there.
Everything is so... spread out and alienating.

On another note, America and "car culture" are pretty synonymous, ever since the 1950s, which is when suburbs were implemented on a wide scale, partly because of Cold War paranoia (spreading out protests and social unrest and other leftist activist groups can easily dilute them).

My experience in Germany was very positive, but I was in a touristy city (Cologne/Köln). Most Germans speak excellent English and appreciated me speaking enough German to tell them what my name was, where I was from, and how bad my German is and do you speak English?
My experience in America with people has been mostly good, too, but I think a lot of that is down to the place I work. There's an excellent vibe and culture here and so it means people are open, friendly, and talkative. It's a great place to be. If the environment and healthcare system weren't so hostile to me (with a long-term health condition), I'd give serious thought to trying to nab a job here for the long run.
More broadly, because I can't get out and about that much, I haven't experienced any hostility or coldness, really. Generally I'm bright and friendly towards most people and that often gets paid back. One thing I do like about America is that I'm left to do my thing without judgement or interference, though I respect that can also be very isolating and odd for people.
The latter part I think is true - many Americans I've met have their routines, interests, and lives, and stick to it. They were baffled by the British idea of the post-work pint, which is just an excuse to socialise together.
And I will say yes, this bothers me. The city I'm in is very nice compared to other major cities in this state, but even then, large parts of it simply don't feel engineered for people; let alone engineered for someone who is dealing with a partial disability like myself. Luckily my employer gives me free public transport.

My Japanese friend couldn't understand why we were telling her almost everyone has a car in America, like to the point where there'll be three or four cars parked in front of a family's house, she was like "Why not just walk? That sounds so excessive??" until she visited here and everything was at least a mile away from the house and she was blown away by the sprawl.
And I love driving! I'm a serious car nut. But the fact that it's a necessity for everyone due to the sprawl is just.. unfortunate.

I technically live in the county, and they won’t even build side walks to all the schools. The kids that walk are literally on the outside median a few inches from the ditch in some parts. At least now, new development has to add those, but some weird decisions were made (I assume in the name of saving money).

Really ? I wouldn’t describe Americans as cold, but I’d say “falsely nice”, maybe? Sometimes people talk to you in a very nice way, asking you questions about your life and such, and you’d meet them the day after and they wouldn’t recognize you. But I also had some people really go out of their way in the US to help me, while in Europe if you have, like, a flat tire you’re shit outta luck.
Maybe it’s because I’m a French living in Switzerland but I find the Swiss way colder than the Americans. I’d say Americans are somewhere in the middle, nicer than people from Northern and Eastern Europe, but colder than “Mediterraneans”, Australians or Japanese

Yeah people in my town are actually hostile towards any sort of development that helps or promotes walking, cycling, or public transit. I hear complaints that "the only people who use those things are people with DUIs or the poor or homeless and they made the choices that led to those needs so we shouldn't encourage those sorts of things."
It's fucking mind-boggling. Like some class warfare bullshit.
