  • Finally went back to finish this one off. Still sat at Mixed reviews on Steam, but I had a pretty good time of it. Looking forward to the next game in September!

    I have like 8 Atelier games on Vita. Where do I start? Or should I finish the Atelier Iris trilogy on PS2 first?

    I don't know much about the Vita ones, but you generally can't go wrong with the first game of a given trilogy. Rorona, Ayesha, Sophie, Ryza 1 etc. They each play a little differently with some being on timers and others not, amongst other things. They're all pretty fun though based on what I've played.

    Oh damn, completely missed Luck be a Landlord launching on Switch. Fingers crossed they patch it for Switch 2 to get mouse support, awesome game.
    Jesus Christ Bowser's Fury feels like a new game with how good it looks and runs.

    @Xdqwerty I also have Aspergers, and I've learned not to do that in front of others - only my family, because...they're my family and they know me.

    Anyway, Bowser's Fury...eh, played it once, never returned to it. Just wasn't that interesting to me, honestly, and I hated the Giant Bowser chase-battles; those were horrendous.
    Also not a fan of 3D World itself either; 3D Land was a much more compact and concise package. Didn't need three extra characters or Nessie surfing.

    Or the clone Cherries; worst "power-up" since Galaxy's Spring Shroom, with how frustrating it is trying to control multiple Marios or Luigis at once, and how they're needed to get some Stamps and stuff.

    Just the crater and mountain Shifting Earth events to complete and that's all achievements. I'm glad I can switch back to playing Revenant after a few hard fought victories with other characters lol

    Huh, you can just remap the Switch 2's C button like any other button. Feels like the complaints about having a "paywalled button" were a little overblown lol

    I won't lie though, I'm a little surprised you can map it. I do use it so I probably won't myself, but great for those who stay offline.

    The C button stands for 'custom firmware'.
    With Elden Ring coming to Switch 2, I wonder if Nightreign will eventually follow. I guess without cross-platform multiplayer it would be kinda lacking either way though.
    Honestly outside of the lack of themes, the head honchos have done a pretty great job in ironing out the major bugs on the site. It's like day and even brighter day when compared to how it was when it had just come back online.
    Gonna be giving away some codes for Switch 2 Welcome Tour since Nintendo refuses to do it themselves. Keep an eye on the various Switch 2 editorials through next week!
    So far had "preparing to ship" notifications for the Switch 2 bundle, Pro Controller, and Camera. Just waiting for Hitman and I think that's my lot!

    "Down the line" may in fact be Thursday if the footage floating around is anything to be believed. I would genuinely give them a 9/10 on Switch 2 if they look and play as well as the snippets suggest. Expect a write up next week!

    I don't know about a full re-review but I am planning a few editorials for enhanced games. BotW, TotK, Nobunaga's Ambition, and Pokemon are the big ones for me. Potentially the Rune Factory game that just launched too. Got the week after launch off so hoping to get a good bit done!

    Okay I have a crackpot theory

    What if the games ran so bad because they were developed for switch 2

    Then the chip shortage went on forever, Nintendo had to kick the can down the line, and the games had been built with beefier devkits - fixing everything and getting a stable frame rate was out of the question given the amount of time needed, and eventually they said F it and released it anyway

    I've heard that theory before, and we've also seem the rumours of the Switch 2 being heavily delayed. It wouldn't be that surprising.
    I'm kinda surprised phones still have a light for the camera flash. I can't think of the last time I actually used it for anything but being a torch.
    Didn't expect to see Margaret Thatcher rap battling in a musical, but sometimes life can surprise you in positive ways.

    And @Veho was it any good?? Been meaning to see Six for an age!

    I liked it. They did Anne Boleyn dirty :ha: but overall it was a blast.

    I think my next will be Hadestown... I've been enjoying just going for the £20 seats. Can't argue with the value.
    do people even want posts about fan projects and rom hacks nowadays. I swear 90% of responses are just people thinking they’re smart saying “dmca”.

    it is draining to read and kills my motivation to write about such genuinely cool things

    the whiny ones or the 10k iq dorks are always the negative ones. I've found if a post I wrote made at least 1 person happy and informed them of something they didn't know, it was worth it

    Just ignore those types of people, they're only there to cause arguments and I believe that the DMCA jokes are getting way too out of hand for the billionth time in a row. They cannot seem to get over the fact with what happens with Nintendo and most of their fanbase are young dorks with not that much self-awareness.

    Keep doing what you love best by writing these articles. You have inspired me to do my own user news write-ups, even had some of them on the front-page which I totally appreciate. We all want to learn something new that isn't unheard of and/or talked about often. I read your news frequently and I contribute by giving it a thumbs up because I care.
    I constantly forget how good game streaming is nowadays. Monster Hunter Wilds is far more stable on GeForce Now than my actual PC. Looks great at 1440p too.

    I’m locked in on one of Nvidia’s founders plans, so I really should be using the service more.

    Hot damn the new Inazuma Eleven looks fantastic. The price is kinda high but the content at least seems to be there to justify it.
    Finally got around to putting a Command Hook on my PC case to mount this.

    Need to get on top of having a calendar, but it's definitely one of the cooler things I have lying around.
