I have it on good authority that the problem is that they don’t know whether to release it before or after StarTropics III.


This just shows the cowardice of modern game journalism. This is of course the correct answer, but they're scared to announce it because it would probably tank the rest of the gaming industry. Why would anyone else buy PlayStations or PCs when they could have a switch to and play Star tropics 3 for the rest of their lives.

Exactly. They been paid off to keep the game buried. Disgusting.

Anyone know of Beat em ups? A famous Nintendo youtuber?


I'm aware of his annoying face being pushed on YouTube but only recently knew what he did.


He lied about the Nintendo direct, lied about the rumoured games.


Now he's facing a backlash and claiming it was a social experiment.


Twat

Watched a couple of his videos over the years. Don’t really follow him much. Did hear about this incident but honestly haven’t looked into it at all though. Don’t really have any opinion on it one way or the other though. Don’t really care about it one way or the other either to be honest. Try not to get too into YouTube drama.

I watch other YouTubers do videos on his credibility and how we should believe him as he's the biggest Nintendo youtuber. People took him at his word, but he seems to be the human equivalent of Woody Woodpecker.

This weekend I have been playing a lot of Balatro. Generally, I've been doing very well, only to get some kind of curveball thrown at me in the final few binds. I suppose if I had beaten it already though, I would be talking about how easy it is.

Aside from that, I've been streaming more astrobot, which I am retiring this weekend now that I've found every bot... Except that final one locked behind. That's stupidly hard final challenge.

Oh, and I'm still spending a few minutes with the sexy furniture game.

This weekend I played  Atari 2600, 7800 and Genesis versions of Ms. Pac-man. All three are still a lot of fun and challenging.

This weekend played Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound. Excellent game. Some Donkey Kong Bananza. Another excellent game. And the Shinobi: Art of Vengeance demo. Looks to be an excellent game as well. Watched SummerSlam which was a two night event. Quite an entertaining event.

Shinobi demo was awesome.

New demos dropped on Switch 2 after the direct. Good stuff.

I'll buy that SE Romance 2 remake thingy when cheap.

Nintendo has an online inquiry going on about players preferences towards physical or digital software sales.  If there ever was a time to let our voices be heard on the topic it's now.  Go here to give your unsalted opinion on the matter.

EDIT: it's already been deactivated.  But don't worry, I stood up for y'all and requested everything to be moved to key cards.

I've been playing DK Bananza.  The game certainly has improved.  I think I'm near the end, but I'm holding off to advance any further until our youngest has completed it so he can be all proud of being the first to have beaten the game.

It's sad to see the loss of game manuals in addition to reduced physical media. I've been reading a lot of old game manuals lately, and they add a lot more to the experience than most in-game tutorials.

Who'd thought that Atari would be releasing new games on physical carts with color manuals in 2025. Really looking forward to get 7800 ports of Tiger Heli and Pac-man laster this year.

Yeah, every time I open up a new game and find an empty box with a piece of plastic I feel a tinge of sadness.  Such a shame.

Will never not miss having instruction manuals. Very sad. Really loved Working Design published games back in the day. They really put out a quality physical product. Embossed glossy covers, manuals, sometimes a nice cloth map for RPGs, etc.

Ugh. I was just on line for an ice-coffee and I got summoned... Who needs what now?

Oh! Well I got the dick, but you won't find it in a box EVER again! I learned my lesson a looong time ago!

I need to get NG, I'll do so soon. Shinobi demo is amazing, what a time, NG and Shinobi games! DK is getting better and is constantly creative. I was hovering around an 8 score but now its playing with a 9, I assume it will just get better. Very fun game I just wonder if it will reach that super great level. And im still playing DS2 cause i must 5 star everyone! The game continues to be great, love the hard missions post game. My review is now up, there is some frustration with the game, I think the post game might be better than the main game, its really changed my reaction to it.

YouTube has been pushing clips of Adam West's Batman TV show in my recommended feed for the past week or so. I remember watching this as a kid, but watching it is an adult brings a whole new level of entertainment! It's not just for kids folks. LOL I may have to seek out the complete series on DVD soon.

The original Batman was a primetime television show and was originally developed for an adult audience. But because the fights were presented so goofy it found a kid audience and got that label even more once it entered syndication. Needless to say, the kids missed out on a lot of the jokes. Hell, even the vocabulary that Batman uses had to have gone over a lot of kids heads. Adam West dropped some serious SAT words.

One other fun fact for you. While the show was in its original run, Adam West and Bert Ward would go to orgies and sex parties in costume, and would give the women an opportunity to actually have sex with Batman and Robin. It's never been clarified if they went to the parties together or not though.
