I cant wait for pokken. Im extremely over arms

I've barely played ARMS but I have a good time every time I put it on, I'm just extremely bad at every fighting game except for Smash, which has enough platformer/beat-em-up aspects that I can be good it at

I'm probably gonna get Pokken and be bad at that too

ARMS trip report: still waiting on package. It was meant to be sent to me on Monday and now it's "in transit delayed" still with no estimated day for delivery.

If this is from Amazon mail them every day it's late and they'll probably do something for you, I've got second copies of games this way

Any guesses for the next Direct date? Do they typically have one around the holidays to talk about the next year? Random crapshoot with no trends?

Speculating announcements is fun and I really hope 18 is the year of the smash.

There's usually a pre Thanksgiving-ish direct to hype up the early next year lineup to Christmas shoppers.

So I just realized that it's been almost 4 years since A Link Between Worlds was released. Nintendo hasn't really ever gone more than 4 years between handheld Zelda releases.

Breath of the Wild came out this year on the handheld system, Nintendo Switch

If you have Amazon Prime you should absolutely pre-order. All Prime pre-orders for video games gets you a 20% discount.

If you're in the Best Buy gamers club thing, I think Odyssey is one of the 20% off + 10 dollar gift certificate games.

If you can hold out, Black Friday sales are coming and these will all go mega cheap.

do not buy this, the switch takes micro sds

actually, don't buy any flash memory from amazon at all since the stock is probably polluted with third party seller counterfeits

I have had a 100% success rate over the years but I only buy ones that are directly from Amazon and I only buy brands I've already heard of.

So just don't risk it to save a few bucks and you should be fine is what I'm saying.

I also purchase direct from Amazon and once got a fake SanDisk because of co-mingling, only found out when it failed and I went to SanDisk for warranty repair. Since then I run them through a utility that checks the authenticity of a card.

That said I'm buying a 200 GB from them right now because them prices, so welp

The pokken pads are just regular old USB gamepads

Indulging in the fantasy that these are all real, I hope the Little Mac comment means we're getting a new Punch-Out. That one on the Wii came out in 2009 (!!!)

New Punch-Out wouldn't be until 2019 at the earliest, ARMS is actually still doing really well and Nintendo wouldn't want to stop that momentum

Calling the spinoff right now - survival focused Zelda. People loving loved Eventide and survival games are extremely in vogue right now. Maybe even multiplayer?

yea i've listened to the most recent like... 150-ish episodes of MBMBaM, haven't wandered toooooo far back because i hear early episodes are kinda rough. adventure zone is good too but haven't listened to the start of the new season yet.

mcelroys own

just like the switch

The early mbmbam's aren't that bad, there's some more mean spirited goofing like the episode where they just absolutely dunk on furries, it's nothing too outrageous if you post on the something awful forums. If you really wanna avoid the chaff, go as far back as 100, you'll get the best of episodes for the early days that way too

That gets boring fast. I miss a sense of progression. You have all your abilities 30 minutes into the game. How is this supposed to stretch for 100 hours?

I've watched several people who play the game by abusing bombs as much as possible and hoarding all their weapons, that's about a billion times more boring to seeing if you can kill those bokoblins by cutting down a tree and knocking the tree into the bokoblins using stasis

I didn't enjoy the sparse boring world, the weapon hoarding and the mostly mindless enemies that barely posed a threat. Also, the bosses sucked and there were no proper dungeons aside from the thief hideout.

complain to amazon about your package being late and get a free month of prime

when you get your discounted copy a couple days late, return it to walmart because gently caress em
