Oh, I should try the demo of Taiko no Tatsujin.

I liked Syberia 1 and 2 way back in the day. I watched the trailer in the eShop for 3 and it doesn't feel like the same series.

Also a complete lack of game play in the trailer is always a lovely thing to do.

53% dislike so far...
Even if they focused on the objective measure of sales, it'd take a year and a half to get the top 75. This is clearly not what they are doing as titles like Might Bomb Jack aren't on that list anyway.

I felt kind of underwhelmed by Blossom Tales.
Next year there will be a kickstarted game called Hazelnut Bastille, which looks to scratch that LttP itch.

I know about the Nintendo tax and all, but isn't it a bit much that the (slightly updated) port of Katamari Damacy costs 50% more than when it was first released 14 years ago?

Re: Switch Record Sales
Nothing in the article explicitly said anything about sales or bundle. I figured it was just because during Cyber Monday there is an increased demand for buying things.

Does Katamari have a joycon motion option? I don't usually go for non-aim-related motion control, but that feels like it'd be a winner.

Dr. VooDoo posted:

Sadly no. I could see a simple tilting style with HD rumble being super effective or the ability to hold a joycon in each hand upright like control sticks and using them in the same way the joy sticks are used but it’s just a simple copy-paste of the PS2 controls

Katamari does have a motion option.
It's not very apparent, but if you go to the Control Config (bird), there is an option for Control Type: Motion Controls. It will reset back to Usual Controls if your Joy-Con are attached to the console though.

I don't know how to play the tutorial with them so not exactly sure how it Controls though.

Wouldn't they make the Switch screen larger in the same footprint with smaller bezels, upgrade the screen to 1080p and upgrade the CPU /RAM to allow games to run undocked at the aforementioned resolution?

Nintendo's recent shareholder meeting said that they consider it important to expand the exposure to their IPs in other media (this is the strategy behind all the mobile games, for instance). That's something that pays off for decades. It wouldn't surprise me if the Mario movie is just the beginning.

Nintendo listened to your feedback. We kept hearing you say "we don't want 3 NES games a month", so as of 2019, we will only provide 2 NES games a month!*


*Our homeland will still get 3 as they know better than to complain.

I guess, but everybody knew about it.

There are also 2 other warp whistles that you can get early in the game, so even without it you can easily skip worlds 3-7
Get the first warp whistle on 1-3, the second in the fortress, then use the warp whistle while on the warps whistle island to skip world 2 and go straight to 8

The game Link's Awakening is weird because it was (partially?) inspired by Twin Peaks of all things. Then decades later in Twin Peaks: The Return there is the line "We are like the dreamer who dreams then lives inside the dream"

did it then go "Let us awake...together" and then 8 instruments started playing themselves in a trippy hallucination

No, but it would have made as much sense. Instead, the lead went through some interdimensional portal, woke up in a hotel, drove to the house of the murder victim from 25 years ago (with that dimension's version of said murder victim) but when the lead got to the house, the person who owns the house in real life answered and then the murder victim screamed
Also not kidding about the Twin Peaks inspiration. Like a famous line in Twin Peaks is "the owls are not what they seem" and what Legend of Zelda game introduced Kaepora Gaebora?

Link's Awakening is a great game, but I hope they add content (even more than the extra dungeon in DX). Either that, or it's only ~$30. Paying $60 for 1993/8 gameboy(color)-sized content seems a bit much.

gently caress yes. I’ve been waiting for Startropics. I hope they eventually get to Zoda’s Revenge as well.
So that's just how it will be now. Scraping the barrel for 3, decades old, NES games a month was too much, so now we only get 2 a month.
I foolishly thought they'd have something special for the switch anniversary. Maybe by the 3rd anniversary they'll be at a point where they just remove NES games.

At first I was shocked that Link's Awakening was going to cost $60, but, while I can't remember exactly how much it was in 1993, it seems $35 in 1993 is $61.90 today
