But seriously accusing someone of virtue signaling is dumb as hell because it presumes you know for a fact that another person is insincere in their intentions (unlike you, the person laying the judgement upon them). Don't start that mess in here

They used to call me tricky-kid, I lived the life they wish they did.


I bet SuperHot would be pretty rad if they found a way to make the Joycon's motion controls work in the context of whipping pistols at people.

You don't get charged for preorders on Amazon until they ship, and the longer you have it on preorder the greater the chance that if it goes down in price at any point you get the lowest price (since Amazon automatically lowers your order total if the item gets discounted between when you order and when it releases).

Oh sweet. I never pre-ordered from Amazon, so this is good to know.

Splatoon, the game that notoriously doesn't need voice comms, but we want it anyway.

I hope the mobile app doesn't suck so that our goon rooms don't need to set up like 50 voice channels in the Nintengoons discord.

That would indeed be dumb. But making a general statement that some people are going to hand wring on the internet over something they privately enjoy but wish to be seen to publicly denounce shouldn't be controversial. It might also not always be very helpful to point out, admittedly, but it definitely happens. Call it what you want.


Here is a true and sincere statement: I am very excited for the official release of Splatoon 2.

never listen to game critics that do not have an interest in the genre of game they play. if you get a guy who has never been a fan of side scrolling beat-em-ups to play Double Dragon Neon, chances are he's not going to like it, and will not give it a good review. Give a harvest moon fan stardew valley, and they'll spam the switch thread with "STARDEW WHEN"

what im trying to say is, for the love of poo poo please port Blazblue x persona 4 arena to the switch i need it

Do you read video game reviews? I don't. I haven't in...a decade? I don't because they're generally really bad at their jobs like most everything to do with game writing.

Edit: Cept Yahtzee when I randomly see it pop up on Youtube cause listening to him take the piss out of things makes me laugh and I can roll my eyes at his grumpy rear end.

Oh please yes. It might actually happen too, aside from 'a Blazblue' being confirmed, Mori seems pretty excited for the Switch. I hope Centralfiction comes first though.

edit: Continuum Shift 2 was surprisingly good on the 3DS. I mean the controls for it sucked since all fighters are hard to play on the 3DS, but that didn't keep abyss mode from being fun.

Well I can tell you it's going to get bad reviews. Every reviewer has made it clear how much they hate the idea of the mobile app and I think it'll knock a full two or three points off on average.

Most of the reviews so far are pretty good.

I really hope streets of rage 2 comes to whatever the VC eventually is. The 3ds currently has the definitive version but I don't want to fire up my 3ds when I could use my Switch instead.

Looks like the reviews of Splatoon 2 can be summed up as "more of the same, but with improvements" - which is pretty much what I expected. If it works, why break it?

Yeah, the scores seem good but not amazing, but the summary of "it is Splatoon with QOL improvements and a co-op mode" is pretty much all I need to see.
