honestly the eshop was red a bunch already from when they branded it with mario decorations this isnt too big of a change really, its kinda obvious in hindsight

@Friendly according to those who have used it, it's been touted as the best controller that they've used, specifically with the sticks and how smooth they are, it also weighs less, takes less time to charge (3.5 hours instead of 6.5) and is a little bit smaller

as much as i'd love the pro-controller on day one, the price of everything is already just too expensive so it's going to be deltarune, the console and mario kart world for me and nothing more

got mine in the UK via smyths quite literally by just walking in and paying a £20 deposit, was not stressful at all

super glad to see a year of springs get here, it's one of my favourite VNs eva

A Year of Springs

A super sweet set of three short visual novels connecting one story together with a focus on LGBTQ topics (specifically transgender people), the artstyle is positively lovely and the music is especially pleasing.

i've picked up antonblast again, a super fun romp which is an absolute joy to rush through and a few mario kart 8 deluxe matches too, i want to finally go back to mario and luigi though that depends if i have the time with it being easter tomorrow.

have a nice weekend everyone!!!

@timp29 way back in 2017 when Alex did this thing, Triforce would hold his spot while he went to the toilet and then he'd take his place back in line,

they essentially are "queuing" the line, before the official one starts up in june, just staying outside the store from open till close every day, for 2 months. he has a crew to support him so i assume they'll be filling in Triforce's role here

@Medic_alert

oh absolutely, i'm hoping we get some clarity eventually even if it's just a small thing on nintendo today given they're going for one piece of switch 2 news a day until launch

@Medic_alert

my speculation on this mainly comes from the fact that the file itself compared to the switch 1 version seems to be smaller than it by around 100mb or so, which strikes me as it being on the switch 2 cart with the new content included

i feel like given the switch 2 branding on the box itself, to open it and then see a base switch cartridge would be a little counterintutive, not false advertising as the game still comes with the switch 2 code but still, jarring to say the least

@Enigk switch 2 carts with the upgrade on the cart, file size for the game revealed this with it being smaller than the switch 1 version

usually, from experience prices drop on the day the game itself comes out, its normally only by £5-£10 but a drop is still a drop and from there they just get cheaper and cheaper

smyths has physical copies available in stores and online, exact same price as game though

managed to get mine via an instore pre-order at smyths this morning, currys is also doing the same currently

deltarune... today?

deltarune tomorrow

i've been waiting for this game ever since i saw the reveal trailer a few months back, glad to hear it's good, cannot wait to pick it up in a few days it just oozes charm

for anyone still wanting a collectors edition, curry's has some in stock!

personally i love how wacky and zany the new abilities are, it's gonna make playing this game a magical experience having link ride a custom built unicycle around hyrule

I've been on team Quaxly since February, I adore his hair

i feel like this came way too late, if the game wasn't ready to ship they should've just left it because literally almost 7 months for just golf coming to this game is hillarious

I would adore these to come to the west original kirby content based off of the games would be awesome

Grabbed the octoling triple pack as I missed it way back in 2018, ty!

i love love love the yakuza series and a switch port is the absolute dream for me so seeing this once again destroys me, man
i just hope one day, even if its the next nintendo console he changes his mind.

they've really gotta hire someone to come up with better names for these games, man

@Ryu_Niiyama they implement the Majima everywhere system into the game by having him interrupt your current instructor to fight them whilst you copy their movements

i love how wacky this is but i was so badly hoping to see lost paradise here when i saw kenshiro, one because its fist of the north star but it'd also show that RGG studio are down with putting their games on switch, maybe one day

@Ashunera84 weird, for me pearl and marina just gave me all their gear in one. this may be bc I was level 5 tho

@SMcCrae95 its a shame they didnt go all out and put all 3, i understand they split him in eyes of heaven too but i hope one day we get a full, white snake, c-moon and made in heaven pucci

part 6 spoilers

its a shame the later forms of pucci arent here since i absolutely adore MiH especially since new moon pucci was featured in eyes of heaven from day one, nice hes coming at somepoint but man did i want him day one

i feel like we will get one, the only thing i can think of seeing tbh is BOTW 2 since it comes out in spring 2023 and we havent even seen the title or even got a solid release date yet, potentially advanced wars 1+2 too

looking forward to playing this! im currently a student nurse so it'll be super interesting to see how this game explores how workers are treated in the healthcare industry as I've heard many many stories from people I've worked with on placements

really looking forward to giving the Splatana a go, I mained the Octobrush back in Splatoon 1 and in my early Splatoon 2 days so having another, more offensive weapon like it should be pretty fun

I think my favourite Xenoblade unique monster name is Experienced Tristan, I didn't dare face him in battle, he's Experienced I'd be screwed.

HAHA, YOU'RE A LIFESAVER, LANZ!

after 2 years, I finally completed Xenoblade DE last night and I'm moving onto Future Connected this weeked, hoping to get it done before Friday but we'll see! also gonna be checking out salmon run in splatoon & some mario kart to break up the long long rpg hours

@a_brave_new_geek I've absolutely adored my time with Xenoblade 1 right now with 2 chapters of the game to go, its an incredibly long game (I'm about 46 hours in right now with that being only the base game) but it's been great fun. The environments, characters, music and story specifically in the 2nd half is incredible and the all British voice cast is a nice change of pace and adds to the charm of it all imo.

very awesome move, rare based nintendo moment

going into this as blind as I can which includes avoiding the music, looking forward to hearing this ingame tho!

Joy-con please be sold separately

I feel like I'm in the minority here but Splatoon 3 will most likely be complete at launch, they pushed back the game by 5 weeks in order to I assume polish it up and the game has been in development for around 3 years now if we go when final fest ended, this is the longest it's taken for a splatoon game to be developed as the other two were rushed out.

I really, really hope we see the Persona ports, the Batman collection and the Yakuza series would be a dream come true, Kamurocho on the go would be incredible.

7 chapters of Xenoblade 1 left so I'm probably gonna try and get both that finished as well as 2! Also gonna be dropping into Fall Guys every now and then too, it's so much fun.

I love the idea of underground stages this is sick

I played online on the ps5 demo and it worked perfectly fine, I'll try some more matches tonight and see how it goes

god I wish I could attend this

cannot wait to play the demo but man balthus' design looks absolutely horrific bruh

I usually never pre-order games unless they come with a steelbook, I prefer just waltzing in on the day and grabbing em tbh, saves the hassle.

I absolutely adore Ni No Kuni in terms of both the games and the movie, but christ this absolutely sucks. At this rate the hint coins in the next Layton game will end up as its own cryptocurrency, god help us all when that day comes.

I got some buds last year so I might grab these it's super tempting
