Absolutely, it's more than justified. People aren't kidding about it being a GOAT. It's genuinely a fun game and if you have any passing interest in that action genre then it's a must play.

I haven't played it since the GC and the price is perfect and I'm looking forward to picking it up.

Honestly, I'm sure you have plenty on your plate like all of us, so you could probably just wait for a sale. As it's not Nintendo it'll get discounted eventually.

Have they anything else worthwhile besides Mario/Rabbids and Starlink?

Depends if it has gyro aiming or not. Aiming with the stick on Gamecube made me hate the game and then I loving loved it on Wii.
Should mention that I also couldn't see the drat laser sight because it was red but they let you turn it green in later versions so that also helped.

$30 is more than reasonable for it. Is it getting a physical release in the US or is it digital only?

Anyone have experience with the Crash Banidicoot N'Sane Trilogy? I only really played the games on a friend's ps1 every once in a while so I never really played them, but they seem enjoyable enough. I like platformers in general.

If you know the original pretty well you will feel right at home. It's nearly perfect.

If you know the originals REALLY well, you'll notice the very, very, very slightly-off physics and then get over it immediately

$30 for RE4 portable if you've never played it is fine, get it, though you could probably do better paying 8 bux for it on Steam so it depends how much you care about the Switch Tax to be able to play it Anywhere Anytime

RE4 maybe be GOAT but idiots like me have bought it so many times that $30 feels awfully steep.

I want it. I want it BAD but I have to stop myself until it drops to $15.

I guess I get this, but the timing of it just seems weird. It's far enough away that it's not really relevant but it's close enough that it doesn't really warrant a retrospective revisit. Some dude just sat down in 2019 and decided to write a 1 hour script talking about BOTW. It's strange.

It's strange but there's an entire subsection on YouTube devoted to creating tedious longform video essays about why <video game> you like is good/bad (usually it's bad). There's like a 7 hour long video about the Pokemon Ruby 3DS remake. Just a bunch of kids out here trying to be video game Ken Burns or something.

The timing of when you post a critique video like that isn't a big deal. Everybody has backlogs. Not everybody wears a game out right after release when it's hot or wants to wait a decade to review a classic.

I do expect that you have some editorial skills and be succinct though.

What? No they're not. These are quality of life changes that streamline the experience and make everything less annoying. Going back to the PC all the time to swap your party around doesn't annoy you? Well, bully for you. It annoys me! Saying you would be disappointed if they added that feature to the main games is dumb. If you prefer to only swap your dudes out at Pokemon Centers, then do that! There's nothing stopping you from doing that.

Putting self-imposed limitations on yourself to make the game harder is a thing people have been doing in these games since forever. Just add one more to the pile.

Give me on-map encounters and let me access my PC from everywhere. And while we're at it let me take a Pokemon of my choice for walkies. These are all good features that should absolutely be part of the main series.

Pokemon walking around instead of random encounters lessens my enjoyment of the game.

e: You know what they should do? Make it a toggle. It can't be that hard, keep the same zone maps, and then have an option for either the traditional random encounters, or populating the overworld map with whatever pokemon would normally be found in the grass/cave/water for that area.

Everybody wins.

e2: VVVVVV - nah that doesn't work because half the reason I don't like the pokemon wandering around is that, to me, its way less immersive. The overworld models aren't scaled, so they just wander around all roughly similar sizes waiting to smack you like early 2000s MMO quest mobs.

What if the Pokemon die after they use between 3 and 5 moves, so you constantly have to be catching new ones?

The new grind is breeding shinies and getting perfect IVs

e. Hey Gamefreak? Can we just remove EVs and IVs from Sword and Shield? I say this as someone with dozens of perfect IV pokemon and a stable of perfect IV Ditto studs for every stat. No one actually enjoys this process, they just feel compelled to do it.
