- Comment on Nintendo Confirms It Has Under-Wraps Switch 2 Games Due Later This Year, as Share Price Drops Following Console Price Hike 2 hours ago:
For first party support, Tomodachi Life did just come out, and sales data shows that around half of the sales were for Switch 1. Switch 2’s launch year was certainly lean compared to the excellent 2017 Switch lineup, but there were a lot of heavy hitters from all of their top IPs and that wheelchair basketball game. With how similar the consoles are, I’d imagine we’ll still get a handful of first party Switch 1 titles like Rhythm Heaven and cross-gen games like Metroid and Pokemon Z-A.
The Switch was fairly underpowered when it launched in 2017, so the fact that we’re even getting new games for it more than a year after Switch 2 is pretty nice. And it’ll get third party/indie support for many more years.

It had RECORD sales. Nintendo did a great job that supply met demand and scalpers didn’t ruin it for a lot of people. Cutting back after your launch delivered to your core base should be a standard, not an exception.

Probably more to do with RAM prices
- Comment on StarFox (N64 Remake) Gameplay Reveal 5 days ago:
TotK swapped out all the main abilities and made Gary’s Mod the main focus with the battery power being a new primary stat meter, so it does feel quite different. Also you have a full party fighting with you and two new maps to explore.
Mario Kart 8 introduced tracks that go upside down and underwater, and gave full kart customization. Mario Kart World made every track part of an open world map and made open world challenges. Sure the main gameplay is very similar, but it’s definitely not just Mario Kart 64 again and again.
Compare with something like Star Fox, F-Zero, Punch-Out, or Pikmin where the series just languishes until they feel they have a new enough spin to give it. Those games could have much bigger franchises if they changed their philosophy a bit.
- Comment on StarFox (N64 Remake) Gameplay Reveal 6 days ago:
That’s genuinely not true. They’re actually infuriatingly devoted to only putting out games with new ideas. We don’t get regular sequels often because they wouldn’t deviate far enough from the previous one.
The spin for this new Star Fox is clearly the camera tie in, getting to basically be a vtuber in their chat system. It also utilizes mouse controls, a series first.

- Comment on Your Truck is Stupid Big 1 week ago:
Yeah the real point is that the vehicle you haul your dirt bikes in and the vehicle you park at the airport are ideally different, but it’s very understandable that they aren’t. Also I’m certain that truck isn’t backed in all the way. It’s stupid big, but not 2x longer than the space big.

Yup. 5 is probably tied with 3 as my favorite in the series. Glad they consider 4 a good entry as well, because even if they messed with traversal, the sailing theme is bangin

Very sad news. I’ve loved everything Wreden and C418 have made. And the teaser for Engine Angel looks like a lot of fun. But Wanderstop was a little divisive. I really enjoyed it, but I can certainly see that it has a very narrow market.
- Comment on Anon enjoys videogame music 1 month ago:
Most of the songs are meant that way, but some (cutscene music for example) take the forefront. A different use case is normal though. It’s kind of like saying you’re not supposed to enjoy anything not prepared by a 5* chef.

All my suggestions are up there already, just happy to see ReCore being mentioned still. Metal Arms and Jet Force Gemini are excellent.

So, you’re talking about a dedicated ‘sit down and listen to this album in whole’ kind of experience? I don’t think even most albums are great for this, but yeah video games typically aren’t good for this because of the different moods they go through. I listen to a few straight though though:
