Tales of the Shire: A Lord of the Rings Game, so this is SIMS LoTR edition?

I remember when the summer games used to be exciting.

That time is long gone

Wild Hearts S comes out on the 25th on NS2. I might pick it up if it runs at 60 - I got it on PS5 and never really played it, it definitely doesn't seem to have the polish of a new monster hunter game but I think it would be a fun way to scratch the itch w something new on Switch 2 when it comes out.

Then again, between Death Stranding 2, Donkey Kong, and finally getting around to astro bot, I feel like I might not find the time

We want little nightmares 3

Mr. Kojima, I know for a fact that Little Nightmares doesn't have enough of the content you like.

No long cutscenes filled to the brim with exposition, no human-shaped polygonal models with physics applied to specific segments, no associations with American celebrities, you cannot fool me.

Man, Donkey Kong Bananza is only about ten days away. I'm interested to see what fan reactions will be.

If it's made by the Super Mario Odyssey team, will it be too similar? Will it be considered a good Donkey Kong game?

I have still yet to play Super Mario Odyssey, lol.

 

[Phearoz]

Tony Hawk - Patapon - AI Somnium Files 3
LFG

 

[citruspunch]

Even though I wont get my hands on a Switch 2 for awhile, I am excited to play bananza in the future.

 

[eduall]

why no the new nintendo direct releases date?

 

[IceBlazeWinters]

the only games i want to see come out are a legend of dragoon remake, or the sequel to the game, and scalebound

fuck everything else

unless they make a spiderman unlimited game

 

[Deleted member 753700]

I wonder why they don't release any good games early in the summer, when people have the most free time and all
this list is quite sad, from my perspective.

Great time for backlogs truly, guess we are kinda meant go outside in the summer tbf

 

[SDA]

As usual, I do not care at all about this.

 

[ikynx]

System Shock 2
Tony Hawk
Neverwinter Nights 2
Ninja Gaiden
Donkey Kong & Pac-Man

What fucking year is it?!

Amazing stuff. Hyped for all these.

and then people wonder why the last game I bought was animal well.
Modern video game at its peak unovation.

 

[Skv0ra]

Pon, pon, PATAPON!! That was easily one of the best, new, unique titles of the PSP era. Now, when tf are we getting Loco Roco?!

 

[chippy911]

no mention about Upin Ipin Universe, 17th July 2025

 

[AkiraKurusu]

So...when will the Switch 2 get some games that are actually worth buying the console?
Hasn't happened yet; Mario Kart going open-world was a stupid idea, especially since it wasn't for the purpose of a story mode or anything.

Like, when is the next Legend of Zelda game, and what's it going to be like? Or Luigi's Mansion, Mario game, Xenoblade, Pikmin, etc.

 

[ikynx]

And then they wonder why

 

[retrospect]

I never liked the round Steam logo of the Xbox 360 era, and here it's really showing its age. Valve should restore the original logo. Fashion has already gone full circle.
