Welcome to my world. I talk about things I like, and I really like video games.
Most likely 4 will also get this treatment if 3 is getting it. Both are incredible games and deserve it

Don't care what people say. New Super Mario Bros. DS is one of the best 2D Mario games. Main game rules and the minigames rule even more. 10/10 DS game

Very funny how they basically admitted they rushed this port out for the holidays
Persona 3 Reload Nintendo Switch 2 update adds 60fps performance mode when docked, improved frame rate stability, and more. An update for the free demo will be released in the coming days as well: www.rpgsite.net/news/19259-p...

Looking into their original wording, this is most certainly accurate and Nintendo just didn't want them to say it.

Great news nonetheless. I don't expect Key Cards to go away completely but hopefully they become less common over time.
ININ Games retracts their statement about the new smaller Switch 2 carts.

"There has been no official announcement or confirmation from Nintendo concerning cartridge storage capacities. Any references to specific storage sizes should not be interpreted as official information from Nintendo."

Been realizing how much I miss pre-buyout Twitter. When people posted gameplay screenshots. When online discourse was slightly less toxic than it is now. It's not the same anymore and it bums me out

Easy buy. Between this, the Metroid Prime artbook and Rosalina's Storybook, I'm building up my collection of video game books

I don't hear a lot of people talk about this but Kamura Village from Monster Hunter Rise left an impression on me. Cozy hub and music

I get why they're dropping numbers for Mega Man titles, but it doesn't feel right. It's Mega Man 12 to me

9 years after Mega Man 11. About time. It looks like it could have released 2-3 years after it though. Maybe I was hoping for something more differentiated after so long. Either way, glad it's happening.
A brand-new 12th entry in the Mega Man series is on the way!

Get ready to override your limits as Mega Man: Dual Override gears up for release in 2027! Stay tuned for more updates!

This will be my only award-related commentary for the night: The Hundred Line should have been nominated for Best Narrative. And Game of the Year.

Not watching TGA so just catching the headlines.

Capcom going all in on Switch 2 is so interesting to see. And Nagoshi just making Not Yakuza is hilarious

Wario World was a bit underwhelming to me back in the day, but now it's the kind of game I find refreshing. Quirky and short, good palette cleanser

Genuinely the most encouraging thing I've heard them say about Mega Man and Ace Attorney. They're running out of games to remaster. Let's do this
Capcom says it plans to "enhance the brand power" of Mega Man, Ace Attorney and Devil May Cry with new games, remakes and ports, with the aim being to make them "core IPs" like Resident Evil, Street Fighter and Monster Hunter.

Really enjoying Metroid Prime 4. I don't really get most of the criticism. That said, I don't hold Metroid Prime in as high regard as most people. I'm more of a 2D Metroid person. So that may have something to do with it.
