The more I look back on it, the more disappointing it is to me too. Not really interested in M+L, Zelda looks meh and honestly, while I do not care about "graphics" I was expecting Prime 4 to have some of the system's best graphics, what with it being developed over the course of 5 years by a massive team. Instead I get a game which is visually outshone by the high end 360 titles of 15 years ago. And its coming out months later than I thought it would be.
 
Not nearly enough farming sims. I’m running out while waiting for Rune Factory.

Metroid was cool.
I wonder who’s making Mario and Luigi, hopefully not anyone with anything better to do.

I don't really know how that baffles you? The PS4 and PS4 are just a locked down PC, with almost all of its "exclusive" games available on Steam. Plus we achieved peak graphics in the PS3 generation.

The Switch has a vast library of exclusives, and a form factor that lets it function as both a handheld and a console which gives it more flexible use. Plus the Switch Lite is a bit cheaper and kid friendly.

I understand this part , its just switch is really competing with tablets or mobile devices and it just shows how Nintendo fell from grace.

If anything it shows how far from grace Sony fell. They're entirely unrecognizable from their PS2 days.

You say this, and yet it's the ps5, and not the switch, getting ports of mobile garbage like genshit trannypact and other chinese lootbox simulators, and therefore directly competing with mobile.

Switch probably didn't have much competition in the gaming handheld market besides handhelds that were for mainly for retro emulation or Android gaming. PS Vita is long dead also. So Switch is a safe bet if you want to games portably on home or while travelling. Also it's a pretty kid friendly console. Kid orientated library and easy enough to set up. Plus it appeals to man babies who wanna play Mario. Also factor in it's affordable to buy a Switch Lite for each of your kids who want their own console.

I think it only now with the Steam Deck that there's any competition in the handheld console market. Plus Playstation hasn't done anything of interest or innovative in years.
 
The Nintendo Direct has been excellent and made a mockery out of the Summer Fest, by focusing on video games themselves and gameplay.

Consoles are essentially convenient and social machines, so people will buy the system(s) that their IRL friends/relatives are consuming. Switch acting as both a home console and portable console makes it extra useful too.
It also helps that the Switch library is huge and diverse enough, giving the possibility to have an interest in a certain type of games while still having the mainstream titles. In my case, I'm primarily into Japanese games, including the niche stuff that stays exclusive in Japan. I don't dislike Nintendo games (I do enjoy Pikmin, Xenoblade and Fire Emblem for instance) but they weren't the main reason I've gotten myself a Switch.

And power has never been a criteria of success in the history of consoles, see the Gameboy, the Playstation 1 and PS2. It's always been about the games themselves.

Again, we have achieved peak graphics. We had a warning when the Wii vastly outsold the GameCube despite being just as powerful. When you play chess you don't give a shit that the chesspieces aren't photorealistic replicas, it a game with clear mechanics. This is a game console, not a movie console. Card games are insanely popular even though they don't have a Yu-gi-oh like representation of the action. High fidelity 4k graphics are irrelevant and have no relevance to the game mechanics. The Nintendo Switch has provided a new way to play games at an affordable price, with many games having an interesting new game mechanic. All PS4 and PS5 games have done is have massive download sizes and a gambling mechanism to get you to pay for microtransactions.

Games are supposed to be fun and engaging, not something to make your brain switch off while you mindlessly consoooom. That is why the Switch excels while the PS5 fails.

What's the ending? Sucks to see Cuckcom do this kinda shit so often.


Super Princess Peach was great aside from the forced collectibles.


Apparently one of those AA games was Japan exclusive, so it's basically new to a lot of people.

I checked, it was just removing an art of a nude pose of Morrigan and Lilith from Vampire Savior 2 that I was thinking about.

The censorship was worse than I thought though. No Rising Sun on E. Honda’s stage in Hyper Fighting because apparently nationalism is evil and Sakura only calls Dan’s fighting style “stupid” instead of “retarded” in Super Gem Fighter: Mini Mix. Secret endings for a couple of Darkstalkers games also got removed.

While I don’t personally care for nudes of a succubus like Morrigan, the fact Capcom caved on “little” matters like this makes me hesitant to buy any re-releases or collections from them going forward. I’m hopeful they don’t pull any shit with the Marvel fighting collection, but we’re not going to know until release. I’ll give it a week after launch before I spend my hard earned cash on it.

I miss when games were normal, man... Saying "retarded" wasn't some wrongthink hate crime.

Yeah, it's nothing you couldn't find spicier versions of a Google search away, so it's more about the principle. If they did it to lower the age rating that'd be fine, but it's pure virtue signalling.
 
Saw the direct (skipping the shit nobody gives a shit about like Funkos and Horizon) and a pretty solid haul of stuff I'm interested in

Mario and Luigi Brotherhood looks nice enough, but I've only played Dream Team (which I liked) so I imagine long time fans think different. Doesn't look anything revolutionary but enough to stick in the radar, though I should probably give priority to Inside Story first.

Fantasian Neon Dimension I'm interested purely on it's pedigree. Though my life is death by RPGs... and Lost Odyssey goes first for sure, but I'll keep an eye on it. The whole "grab a bunch of random encounters and do them at once" is a neat concept.

Donkey Kong Country Returns I never played, so might be an excuse to give it a go

Dragon Quest 3, I'm a sucker for these pretty hd remakes. But DQXI was a bit of a chore to play (did finish finish it) and I don't know if something like DQ3 will drag on or not.

Zelda Echoes of Wisdom. It eventually had to happen that a game with Zelda as the protag would surface, I'm just very happy that they didn't just have link with tits like that retard Sarkeesian wanted and remembered that Zelda bears the triforce of Wisdom and is a sorcerer first. So a gold star for giving her unique mechanics. What I'm not so sure of is if playing with all the shit you can put on the map will amuse me or drive me up a wall. Tears of the Kingdom filtered me out with it's lego mechanics. This one only operating in a 2D plane and with no intent of grafting shit together to make complex mechanisms should be a lot more manageable for me, but I can only imagine how tedious it will be going through your menus of random crap. I also wonder how they stop you from just dropping 5 of the same enemy into every combat situation.

Ace Attorney Investigation Collection reminded me that I still have to play Ghost Trick and that it's been too long since I've played anything Ace Attorney like.

Last Defense Academy is the latest insanity from the Danganronpa guys and I'm already interested. I just hope it has better rhythm, I'm still playing Project Rain Code but it's honestly feeling like a chore since everything feels so slow to get through. Maybe having it be a tower defense/SRPG will make it dynamic enough to keep shit going.

Romancing Saga 2, looks interesting enough to keep an eye, but I know fuck all about the Romancing Saga, so if anybody wants to give me a quick summary on if it's worth getting into and if I should play 1, it will be welcome.

Metroid Prime 4, I've only played through most of 1, so I'm not going to act like if this drove me nuts, but it's nice to se it's not vaporware and it does very much look and sound like a Metroid Prime. Hope the wait will be worth it for the fans.

Surprised on no Switch 2, not so sure about it coming next year, but Nintendo is the only company with some brain matter to keep most of their shit close to their chest to not devolve in multiple years of waiting for nothing (outside of fuck ups like Tears of the Kingdom and Metroid Prime 4).

I certainly enjoyed it more than the slop others have been showing.

Question regarding the Marvel Vs. Capcom collection, are there any unwoke shit Capcom will try to erase from it like they did their previous Capcom collection?

In it, they changed Fei Kong’s Hong Kong flag to China and removed a secret risque ending from a Darkstalkers game. If there is any possibility of that happening again, I’m going to wait and see before I buy.

I'd be extremely surprised if they even found anything to censor in those games. MAYBE the Eternal Slumber Level 3 super in Marvel vs Capcom 1 where Morrigan has sex with the opponent?

44sec

Surprised the Punisher game retained a smoking Nick Fury. (Hell, surprised he's still white.) And the Japanese comedian that was only in the Japanese version of Marvel Super Heroes vs Capcom probably won't be available, he had a throw that was like Faust's fingers up the ass super.

EDIT: I remembered there's a bathhouse stage with a Rising Sun also in MVC1

Nintendo won by default simply because of the Marvel vs Capcom Collection announcement. So fucking happy right now, you just don't know. I legitimately thought those games would be languishing in licensing hell forever. Guess Disney really is desperate for that Marvel licensing money.

Im quite happy about it too bro. I grew up with Xmen Vs Street Fighter and both MvC games. The other games in the collection will be a first for me. I recently became a fan of Darkstalker games because of the Capcom fighting collection in 2022. I even got the chance to play the Street Fighter Alpha games on the 30th anniversary collection in 2018. I love these collections.

I hope they do an SNK vs Capcom collection. I never got to play those games. And I really want to become a fan of KOF but the only one I ever played was King of fighters 2000 on PS4. Its good but thats just 1 game. I would love to become a fan of that franchise as well.
