Half of the discourse around the lack of Hall Effect Joysticks in the Switch 2 sounds like people just found out how Joysticks work yesterday and are really mad about it.

I just learned that there was an official live performance of some Rhythm Heaven Songs
It makes sense considering Tsunku's involvement with Hello Project and the other various Idol groups featured in the game, I just never expected them to actually perform the songs.
Fighting games are about to be good now
I am struggling to figure out how people are so excited for that Silksong trailer at the Switch 2 direct
The games whole shtick so far has been similar looking 5 second clips at random gaming shows with a non-specific release date and no further communication. It's a baffling marketing strategy. But I mean maybe it's working so who knows.
Nintendo can fix everything if they make a new one of these
love this album
Rare DK and New DK as 2 separate characters in Smash
Weird inconsistent game prices for a new console?
WELCOME BACK, 1990s!
I will say, 2 of the 3 big games they announced being Racing games is kind of a weird decision
Mario Kart and Air Ride do very different things, but still, weird.
They announced 7 Amiibo and Amiibo cards today
I always win
Honestly, Overall I am just whelmed
A Lot of great individual announcements, but I feel no need to spend 400-600 dollars* right away.
*We have no clue of the price, but I am American so who the **** knows what is happening here anymore with prices.
The Best April Fools jokes are the ones where they actually just do the thing
The Death Of Sonic The Hedgehog remains undefeated
Still one of the hardest designs of all time
Man Bioshocks legacy is so ****ing weird in hindsight. Like the first game is still regarded as pretty ****ing good, 2 existed, and Infinite was regarded as pretty ****ing good as well. But then there was a collective realization that it was mid and now no one talks about this series as much in general.
Like Big Daddy was in PlayStation all stars. I've seen people consider Big Daddy as much of an icon of gaming as Master Chief or Mario. Now there is none of that.
Y'know for something that is supposed to be a Nintendo Notification client, I have yet to get a single Notification from Nintendo Today
This is probably the weirdest 5 days for Nintendo ever, like they are very clearly primed and ready to talk about their next console, they even set up a god damn app that was made for delivering info about it.
But like they haven't actually talked about it yet, so they are just sorta, stuck until Wednesday Morning, and then they can do their thing.
Even for that Direct, all they had was 4 games for late this year and next year. Because they are very clearly waiting for their whole ass new console.
Rhythm Heaven Groove (2026)
Honestly, companies moving away from Social Media to their own apps is probably the best decision considering how Twitter ended up.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

This disney villain cafe game is so weird, yet it intrigues me so

I'm kind of upset that I don't like Monster Hunter that much.
I really enjoy "Boss rush games" (Things like Mega Man, Shadow Of The Colossus, No More Heroes, Madworld etc. Games where Boss Fights are the most important aspect of it) I also love things like the Unique Monsters in Xenoblade and Notorious Marks in FF16. But I dunno, Monster Hunter just doesn't do it for me.
I still want to try more games and I want to pick up Rise at some point. but the only game that I really vibed with was Freedom Unite.
Although in this weird microgenre I made up, I also don't really vibe with souls games so maybe I am just bad.
So I beat Final Fantasy 16
Final Fantasy 16 is a game I do like, but it has some very baffling and major problems in all aspects.
The gameplay is fun, I like combining abilities and the Eikons are all fun to use, The problem is the fact that there is only 1 combo, so the combat gets very repetitive very fast. Even one more combo string could have made things more stimulating. The big controversy is the lack of a proper party member system and yeah the game kinda needed it, especially since they had a good cast of characters, Torgal, Jill, Gav, Cid, Joshua, Dion, Byron and Mid is a solid roster of characters but they had to essentially force them to not be party members, Torgal, Joshua and Jill are good companions but they are basically non entities outside of the main story cutscenes, and in combat they just throw themselves at enemies until you win. I don't want to constantly compare to 7R but I do like how they handled a party system in gameplay. The Eikon battles were ****ing rad though, filled an Asura's Wrath shaped hole in my heart.
Oh yeah the story, pretty generic all in all, yet again it is a racism metaphor using fantasy elements, this one makes a tiny bit more sense than say robots or predator animals, but it still lands wrong, and isn't a very good metaphor. The tone is my biggest clashing point with the story, it needs to unclench, it takes itself too seriously, there is nothing wrong with taking yourself seriously, but it seemed like it was trying too hard to be a dark fantasy, as seen by its most overused event of "Burning down a village and killing all the innocents" it does that like 6 different times (At least it knows that it is not too good for moogles or chocobos) The other major problem is the pacing, there are far too many side quests and they are placed at the most inconvenient times and times when they break the pace and momentum entirely if you decide to do them.
The characters are a high point though, Clive is one of my favorite FF Protagonists IMO, I like his interactions with the rest of the cast and Ben Starr gives a fantastic performance. All the performances are really good Ralph Ineson as Cid was inspired. Gav, Torgal and Byron are probably my next favorite characters, Gav and Byron were always entertaining and Torgal is a cute dog. I also like how you get to really know the personality of the rest of the hideaway. Unfortunately this is where we come to how badly they dropped the ball with Jill, She has one great moment and then after that they basically just forget she existed, and then took her powers away, after she jobbed multiple times and then she basically has no story presence outside of her relationship with Clive, it's very annoying and frustrating considering how she is pretty much the only major good guy woman character who can fight in the game. I also wish we got more interactions with Clive and Joshua. The villains were fine too, some of them were clearly more developed than others and Ultima is kinda lame.
Presentation, no real complaints actually it looks really pretty, the character models are flawless. The music is great too, although I do prefer Soken's work in 14. I wish the color correction wasn't so brown though.
Despite all my ******** I did say I like this game and I do, because those high points are really damn high. One of those high points is the demo, those first 2 hours of the game is a strong ass start and I do wish it could have kept that momentum for the whole game but alas.
Also despite everything the ending, made me cry
I think there is a really fantastic Final Fantasy somewhere with the foundations here.
Damn Star Wars Hunters EOS was announced
A Star Wars hero shooter using nothing but new original characters was a great idea, it was pretty fun too. But it was Switch and Mobile only for the longest time and the PC version was too late, the writing was on the wall.
"Oh yeah sometimes the moon will turn red and we call it the blood moon"
-statements that do not disprove that space is just dark magic
This movie is so interesting to me
It kinda rules while also being pretty bad
Final Fantasy 16 and Kingdom Hearts 3 spoilers
Love how the most notable users of Zettaflare are Bahamut and Donald Duck
I've seen the meme so much that I sometimes forget that this is an actual scene in a multi-million dollar movie
Tony Hawk Guest character Tier List
S: Darth Maul, Revenant, Neversoft Eyeball, Shrek, Jango Fett, Wolverine, The Hand
A: Spider-man, Iron Man, Doom Guy, X-ray, King Graham
B: Judy Nails, Roberta the Robomodo Mascot
C: Space Monkey, Eddie
D: Nick Kang Wilson, COD Soldier (They are both just generic dudes)
This song will randomly appear in my head from time to time, it has for the last 10 years
This game kinda ruled btw. Gameplay had some problems, and I wish it got a switch port to have ironed out those problems, but whatever I guess it is now with Tomodachi Life, Kid Icarus Uprising, Rhythm Heaven Megamix, Warioware gold and Ever Oasis.
BORN TO:
FORCED TO:
Found a weird release, a CD from Nintendo Dream 2024 that has a compilation of a bunch of music from Switch games. Including Sonic Superstars and a unique Undertale Medley.
I cannot find a full upload of this CD on Youtube. and it is hard to find info on it, due to the ol' curse of "Only speaking english."
There is also a second one, but it's harder to find info on it
I kinda want the next smash to make fixed camera the default. Just to see what would happen mostly.
Shout out to Smash stages that were based on retro/legacy content at the time of ultimate that are more relevant now than they were when they were first added
When you are chilling right before the evil game cartridge bursts through the window and starts beating you up and you have to play the ****ty game for it to stop
I have mentally combined parts of Astral Chain and Control in my mind.
It's because they both have an Astral Plane that is somewhat blocky
Also I cannot stop thinking about both games, they are really good with glaring problems.
There are these 2 albums I remember buying on Itunes way back in the day called "The Greatest Video Game Music" they were london philharmonic arrangements of the "best" game music
They made a 3rd one that was Choral but I never had this one
The choices are very much stuck in 2011 (Why the hell is Advent Rising here???) but a lot of the choices are pretty based, like the Mass Effect 2 Suicide Mission, Invincible from World Of Warcraft, Fate of the Unknown from Kingdom Hearts and a song from Enemy Zero
Part of me wants to do a big poll to determine what the 20 "best" video game songs are via popularity on an obscure forum.
Went to a Smash local for the first time in a long time. Considering how the only controller I had access to was a single Joy-con on its side I did way better than I thought I would (I only got second to last place instead of dead last) I played Sora, Terry and Palutena pretty much the whole time.
But it really increased the appetite for a new Smash for me. I am ready to go on Sakurai's wild ride yet again -
