I can't believe they're effectively doubling the game's size lmao. It's actually overwhelming

I’m not saying people need to trust every art style decision Nintendo makes. But at this point, I think there needs to be a 30-day probationary period on having a strong opinion about Zelda art styles when they are first revealed lol

I've always loved tech, but in recent years, especially with the enshittification of social media and AI, I've felt the early/mid 2000s had the perfect amount of tech. Maybe that was enough

I've seen people do it if they don't yet have a Switch 2 but plan on getting it in the future. I agree though, it's likely a small percentage. Most people probably don't even realize you can do that. Even with the massive disclaimer on the box, it's not very clear lol

I think I used to be a bigger Sonic fan than I am now Movies: Miss the mark as "Sonic" movies for me Frontiers: Not the direction I want for the series Superstars: Not a worthy follow up to Mania CrossWorlds: Transformed better + crossover fatigue IP is doing well though so who cares what I think

This is way better than whatever they were smoking with Year 1, but it bums me out how Sonic Racing has turned into crossover bait

I would have been all over this a few years ago. Sony's latest decisions have meant I just don't care anymore

Switch 2 game without a QR code on the cover is like finding a shiny Pokémon

Only just finished my first route in Fortune's Weave. The game could end here and I would be satisfied. That was a full course meal already

Decided to get the physical Switch 1 version of this to have a matching set. Fire Emblem has priority, but eventually...

While not every design is hitting for me, I truly appreciate the character diversity in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. Maybe the most diverse cast I've seen in a Japanese RPG?

You just know the Musou developers were salivating at the possibilities while playing Fortune's Weave
