TalkBack / Re: Konami Reveals Multiple Switch Family Titles Including First MGS Ghost Babel Rerelease

« Last post by broodwars on February 13, 2026, 08:07:22 PM »

My brother is a big Metroidvania buff.  For reference he suffered through Bloodstained's lousy Switch port.  When I told him there was a new Castlevania at a Sony presentation he was ready to buy a PS5... until I told him it's coming to the Switch as well.

I would recommend that he play the Dead Cells Castlevania DLC. The developers of this new game made it, and it's pretty good...albeit stupidly hard.

Hey, I don’t appreciate being labeled as a tumbleweed. At least I’ve been trying to pos regularly on here.

LOL, come on. Discord didn’t walk back anything. The announcement page is literally titled “Discord Launches Teen-by-Default Settings Globally”.

Hopefully they've either implemented a dodge roll into Mina (the footage at the State of Play seemed to indicate there might be one) or shortened the dive process, because the previous demo showed the game desperately needed Mina to have more mobility.

Belmont's Curse was IMO one of the few games at that State of Play that looked worth a damn. I'm still hoping to get collections of the Lord of Shadows & N64/PS2 games, but I'll take a new game.

I’ve already seen two recent posts about this so it should be noted that Discord isn’t “requiring facial scans or ID to use”.

Yeah, they pretty quickly walked back their original statement after it was clear to just about everyone that it was going to lead to the end of Discord.

You’re simply locked into “Teen-by-default” settings which means no NSFW servers. It’s been a while since I accepted the invite to Nintendo World Report’s Discord server, but I don’t believe it’s marked NSFW. So if you’re hoping this announcement will spur more forum activity, I have bad news.

I’m not especially active on Discord, NWR or otherwise. I kind of get this because [gestures broadly at everything], but it’s still kind of balderdash even if I’m in the pool of users who “ can continue using Discord exactly as they do today”. I only ever clicked on one invite that asked for an ID, and I nope’d out of it. I work in IT; I’m not giving Discord real PII especially after it got hacked last year. GTFO, Discord.

Anyway, how’s everyone doing?



Yeah…

The Tokyo Scramble segment was *chef’s kiss*. My interest in the game would have been higher if they had gone with that music in the Direct.

As someone who was listening and not watching the Stream, I was a bit surprised to see the Kyoto Xanadu dungeon exploration- I suppose it differentiates it more from the other Falcom series, but I find the 2D Metroidvania decision surprising.

I can’t remember if I ever got **** like this about my posts, which were pretty hostile and inflammatory back in the day. But, I probably can’t remember because I was too drunk at the time where such critique would have been beneficial.
