General Gaming / Re: I for one welcome the glorious return of overconfident E3 2006 Sony.

Sony shut down Bluepoint Games out of nowhere and I am fucking pissed. There. That's your post. Sony had more Concords to make, so they shut down one of their most reliable studios.

And game companies wonder why their audience is increasingly hostile or apathetic about the overpriced slop they put out now.

Since I have an Xbox, then I don't plan to buy third-party games on the Switch 2, which means I likely won't have to get any of those keycard dealies. The only way I would consider it is if there's somehow a third-party Switch exclusive that I really wanted.

Oh yeah, I s'pose I forgot to post about the circumstances for how I scooped up a Switch 2 over the holidays. It was $50 off for Cyber Monday, and there was 10% off Target gift cards, and I had a cash back offer from my credit card. Now that's how to stack deals. So now I can be part of the club again!

Nintendo Gaming / Re: What will Nintendo release in 2026?

Personally, I really liked the gameplay in Mario Tennies Aces, it was just a little lacking in modes and features. Fever appears to address that somewhat, although it looks like it has less online features than Aces does. In particular, you can't play 2-player doubles over matchmaking like you could in Aces, only in custom lobbies, which look pretty barren from what I saw. I may still pick up the game at some point in the future for a discount, but hopefully they have some updates planned for the game and will add 2-player doubles to matchmaking.

Not loving having to pay for a framerate update on a game that just came out a year ago, but at least it's only $5. Wish Nintendo had given the other Xeno games an update before I finished them last year. At least I'll be able to enjoy this one at a stable framerate.

Is anyone on the fence about Fever? I've been waiting to see one of you online playing but alas I am alone. This game is absolutely incredible if you enjoy Tennis in general or have always wanted to enjoy Mario Tennis but some ol' bullship like racket breaking got in the way. This game is a return to form. Single player(not so much story mode yet) has been pretty engaging and multiplayer online and off has had my home erupting in screams and laughter. This game is legit!

I think I saw SuperPhil from here playing it already! The game looks fun, but I don't want to fork over $70 for it, especially since last year was already very expensive with both new hardware and games like Metroid Prime 4. Glad to hear they've finally found their groove again though, since the Mario Tennis series feels like it's been floundering a little for decades now.

God, I wish they had just released some sort of upgrade pack. I have no interest in unlock stuff for NG+ but I would have gladly taken the performance bump.

With MGS4 on Switch 2 I'm now reasonably certain that every game mentioned on 103 except for WoW is on a Nintendo console.
