Is the story in Steamworld Dig remotely interesting or should you just play it for the gameplay and nothing else?

Anyone here love/hate Riptide GP? It kind of seems like it would scratch the arcade racing/jet moto itch.

Or should I just sit and pray for Crusin’ Blast?

I like it. It's very much a mobile game port, but it definitely feels like a cheap arcade Wave Race Jet Moto thing, which is good. I think I paid $5 for it?

We are never getting another Wave a Race or Jet Moto, are we?

Crusin’ Blast! Or another real arcade racer would be okay. But I’ll look for Riptide on sale for now.

Unforunately arcade racing type games are dead in the water. The last time a company tried something, it bombed.

Alternatively a new Wave Race but with Sea of Thieves' Wave Tech (About the only good thing going for it)

Debating if it's worth it to get Sonic Mania on Switch now or just wait until the new rerelease comes out at the end of the summer.

I'm only debating it because I already own it on Steam and I'm not that desperate to play it portably right now, which would be about the only benefit I'd get from the Switch version.

Yeah the character designs are good and the sprite work is phenomenal so even though the story is thin it's enjoyable

I played the first 2 hours or so and had fun. I don't think I've ever played tower defense games so maybe it won't be as novel to others but I thought having a 'defend this spot' segment in lieu of a boss fight at the end of a platformer level was cool. The characters and art have been good too so far

At launch it was decent with two incredibly bad design choices (constantly respawning medusa head enemies and no easy way of getting your health back without spending minutes farming enemies) that pretty much ruined it, supposedly it's been patched to improve those now but I haven't played it again to check.

There really isn't much of a story, but the characters are charming and there is a lore to it all. Like if you play Dig, Dig 2, and Heist, there is a definite chronology and you can link events. One interesting connection between Heist and Dig 2 is the DLC character from Heist is your sidekick buddy in Dig 2.

The Wii Shop is about to shut down the ability to add funds to your account in a few hours. You’ll still have almost another year to actually use those funds so add now if you want to buy some of those games before you can’t anymore.

They are so goddamn good. I’ve sunk hundreds of hours into them. I buy every 3rd party n64 controller I see just to try it with rush to try to get a little better control than the stock stick. I am actively mad at my local arcade for letting their four linked Rush cabinets fall into disrepair. One of my bucket list items is to own at least a dual Rush cab setup, hopefully a quad cab.

Rush is life, life is Rush.

It was ported to a bunch of platforms in Midway Arcade Treasures 3 but the physics are wonky so it sucks.

The definitive ways to play are arcade cabs, N64, or MAME, the only platforms that preserve the physics.
