One of the funniest things I've ever seen is when I was in a crowded lab late one night and a girl named Annie tripped on a desk and fell over (she was totally unhurt) and then the guy next to her went "Shit, Annie are you okay?" and then the guy next to him added "Are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?" and then like four people all broke into Smooth Criminal in unison. It was glorious, like a scene out of Scrubs or something.
never heard of anybody by any of those names, definitely not, nope, nothing to see here
I already have the galaxy explorer but the walmart deal had me seriously considering a secondGot in an awesome batch of stuff today. The Kotobukiya stuff was a preorder but the rest was sales
I say one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse or should I say suspocalypse
A few games I want went on sale, but thatβs about it.
Yoshi of course
No he said worst
Would buying a few console favorites for my steam deck counting as adding to my backlog even if beaten them ages ago?
Subsubway?
You know you wanna put your Rosalina heads on Maushold
Damn, now thatβs a tag team combo
Resident penny pincher here to say Subway sends decent coupons. I pin them to the fridgeβ¦
I would rather eat subway than the experience I had this evening. Long night, full details tomorrow
I was curious if there's some notable games stuck on GB/GBC (that are not available even on Virtual Console) and seems like Metal Gear Solid GBC (aka Ghost Babel) was never re-releasedseems interesting (timestamped at 4:52 on the video below). It's an original game, not a port/adaptation
Low-key thinking it would be cool to own a GBA SP and play some stuff like that natively. Used game prices skyrocketed though
It hasn't aged that well, but I still want to play it on my Switch nonetheless.
Do you think Nintendo will be able to cook up a new pandemic in such a short notice ?
Yeah info on the following year is usually pretty scant at the point after the last big Direct and the major Autumn releases, but before any Jan/Feb direct.
I highly doubt they are. I think a good future sales comparison would be 3D Mario. Really good sales, but not Mario Kart/Pokemon/Smash level.
Same. I was thinking about this the other day- one good thing about the GB library is that the vast majority of the sidescrollers on it you can play start-to-finish on it in 20-40 minutes or so. They can be refreshing palette cleansers compared to modern games where even an indie metroidvania is 10-20 hours. Not that thereβs anything wrong with that, but I remember as a kid Iβd often have half an hour to kill and would play through a game from beginning to end sequence as a single session.
Noooo I need my action command RPGs to come back. Mario and Rabbids is good but it's not the same
Itβs going to be March/April because theyβre jerks
March/April is earlier than September so this works for me!
I'm really itching to go back to the Super Mario Land titles and of course the Wario Land series, as well as try the original Kirby. But yeah, short focused games are absolutely a big part of the appeal.
April would also be good timing since that's 6 months out from October's NSO XP anniversary and with the 3DS/Wii U eShop closure in the rear window there's going to be questions about when GB/GBC/GBA games will be legally available again.
Yea, GB and GBA are going to be great fits for the system since a lot of Switch first party titles are built around micro-objectives and short goals you can accomplish in a few minutes. They're very much keeping in the tradition of Nintendo's older handheld designs.
Minish Cap is such a good game, one of my favourite Zeldas.
) but even so thereβs tons of good games. Unfortunately, by the time I was trying to grab a few more to play on my DS at the end of the 2010s, a lot of the second-hand carts for sale were dodgy replicas without batteries etc, and I just gave up.
I think GBA on NSO would hype me up the most. A lot of the DS games would need some level of reworking to fit the single screen format, but GBA games would translate easily to Switch. Just imagining Minish Cap, Drill Dozer, Golden Sun, etc. on Switch has me salivating.
Sunday morning breakfast. Spiced Eggnog Cinnamon Rolls:
Yeah - I think it would be an easy win for Nintendo, especially if they had gen 3 and the 1 remakes for Pokemon on there. Plus, when you add up things like Minish Cap, both Golden Sun games, the Fire Emblem titles, and the original Mario & Luigi, you've got a bunch of quality, lengthy games that have aged brilliantly and which would be especially appealing to play in portable mode. Quality GBA emulation on the OLED screen? Yesss.
In fact my main reason for wanting GB on NSO is because it would mean GBA on NSO would come sooner
