It is really nice looking. If I were buying a new switch now I would get this one.

I'm going to come out and say that 80-90's puppets are unsettling. Love Labyrinth, but I feel like if I watched it as a child I would have had nightmares.

If you think the Labyrinth is unsettling, watch Meet the Feebles. It was directed by Peter Jackson.

Another botched Sonic job by Sega. My personal recommendation for playing the first two is the 3D versions on the 3DS. They are gorgeous in 3D and I can't play them any other way now. I have the 3rd game via the collection on PS3 and the Genesis Mini, but like the reviewer before this review, I have not played Sonic CD. I guess I will wait for the next re-release.

The Wily Wars is like the Super Mario All-Stars treatment of the first 3 Mega Man games. I played it on the Genesis mini and loved it. My only complaint would be the Genesis controller. Now you can play it with the NES controller joycon.

That is quite an all-star line-up. I feel like they could have had any one of them and been fine from a promotional standpoint. Also, I am assuming they just split the tracks up and didn't actually collaborate on any scores?

Was MMBN5:Double Team DS just the two MMBN5 games in one? That's the version I played, but I don't remember if it was just the two games together or if there was any bonus content like in the Pokémon series.

I also never played MMBN6, so I'm excited about this.

According to NWR's page for MMBN5: Double Team it combines "both the GBA games of the same series and adding additional features, you'll be able to play with characters from both games and battle wirelessly."

I just picked up Persona 4 Golden for Vita last week. Very interested in Persona 5 Royal, but I am quite backlogged with JRPGs at the moment.

Well I am glad that I did not buy all of these on Wii U VC. I think I had this as a prediction but replaced it with something less predictable.

We are just getting every kind of direct except the one people want most. Still, I am excited to see what we might get from some third and second parties. Maybe a big reveal of Bayonetta since Platinum is a "partner".

« on: June 26, 2022, 10:43:46 AM »

I have already mentioned this twice before realizing there was a thread just for it 
I picked up The Touryst, which is Shin'en's latest game. The one with the Minecrafty art style. I am not sure what it is about, just trusting the devs for quality.

TalkBack / Re: Recommendations For The Big Ol’ Super Sale

« on: June 26, 2022, 10:40:52 AM »

Some great picks here. I ended up getting The Touryst because it was the first decent price drop I had seen on it, but my wish list was full of sales. From the above games I will second Inside/Limbo as you probably can pick those up with gold coins and finish each one in an evening so it should not break the bank or add to your backlog.

There is a decent e-Shop sale going on for Switch right now so I finally pick up The Touryst. I had been wanting this for a while so I cannot wait to play it.

I just found out that Limited Run is doing a physical version of the Blade Runner game. So if you want some Tyrell Corp merch then you are in luck.

Quite a big week for new releases. I am interested in the Blade Runner game and hope someone out there reviews it.

So I'm guessing a typical online game would connect 4 switches that each have one player. Are the remaining spots AI controlled? Are the four people put 2 to each team?

It would be cool if Nintendo partnered with Capcom and brought Mega Man from Mega Man Soccer into this game.

I am sure folks noticed that a twist on the formula I used was to have a specific question for each round. This question was provided for the bomb word chooser and then asked to all the word selectors. I am not sure if it impacted anyone's decision or if the change was appreciated but I thought it added an interesting layer to the selection process and made each round feel like it had its own theme.

So is there no E3 direct this year? Obviously there is no E3, but you know, a summer direct in that same time frame. Is there one scheduled that I don't know about?

Yeah, they should just sell the book by itself with online retailers, then have a steelbook version like SMT5 did.

I certainly made the game more work for the host than it had to be, but even then it was still not that much work. I highly recommend the experience to others. I know it is hacky to say, but if I can do it then I think anyone can. Also, Khushrenada is always there to answer your questions.
