Social The Social Thread 3.2.2 - Switch 2 Hype Time!

[Hydreigonfan01]

I would play Spidey 2 but I don't have a PS5

 

[Noipoi]

Reviews for Super Mario Bros. Wonder are out and nearly all of them are giving it perfect scores.

We freaking won, baby!

Oh yeah

Mario time

 

[TheMightyP]

I would play Spidey 2 but I don't have a PS5

Yeah same. I think it's on PS4 too but yeah I think mine would explode if I tried to run it.

Then again I also gotta play Spidey 1

Edit: JK it was Miles Morales that was on PS4

 

[Guynamednelson]

My PS5's likely going to be a dedicated Gran Turismo machine anyway if I ever get one. SM2 will at least get a PC port.

I mean trusting a PC port of a Sony exclusive is a risky gamble

 

[Guynamednelson]

True, but expecting GT to be one of those Sony games that gets a PC port is an even riskier one. At least the only company they have to pay licenses to for Spidey is Disney, as opposed to GT dealing with every car manufacturer ever.

As much as I want wonder, I have to have enough money for my hair appointment which mean... i probably have to skip it for a while unless I pull the trigger, buy mario and deal with the cost of my hair appointment later

 

[Noipoi]

Yeah, just pull the trigger.

Rob the game store

 

[TheMightyP]

For the love of God don't pull the trigger in this scenerio

I already won. I have a fun 2D Sonic game where I can play as Amy rose. I’ll play Mario wonder eventually. But eh. Not as big a deal.

Silence, Sonic fan. It’s Mario time.

Yes I am bringing back the playground arguments.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Huh, that seems like a weird choice but then again comics are their own beasts so.

Iirc the team was a scrapped Heroes concept, my guess is that one of the writers wanted to bring one of them and remembered that detail and thought it would be fun. One of the other scrapped team ideas was Metal Sonic, Mighty and Ray but that's not nearly as interesting as Fang and a Sega character Sonic-fied like Bean was. Poor Bark though lmao

 

[Aurane]

I'm not really looking forward to any games right now. After Starfield, my desire to play something new has gone right out the door.

 

[TheMightyP]

Tbh I think Mario Wonder is gonna be my last video game purchase of the year. It's also hitting me that as the years go by I'm buying less and less games in favor for saving it up instead (this year, I only bought Zelda and SV DLC so far).

Adult life I guess.

There's too many games to play and too many sales for me to justify buying all of these 60-70 dollar games day 1. I have no problem waiting to play stuff when it goes super cheap or when my schedule clears up.

Day 1 on Mario Wonder though. Used my voucher and loaded it on my Switch. Can't wait for tomorrow night.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

us Spider-Man fans deserve to have gotten something good out of Marvel after how much hell we’ve gone through in 2022

Spider-Verse, Insomniac, and the upcoming new Ultimate universe content for the Web-Head has blessed us this year…and helps us ignore Zeb Wells and his cursed TASM writing

All I know is if I bother getting any if not all of these major releases coming out soon (or NASB2) I'll quickly go back to playing TF2 soon.

Hype from new games is temporary. War themed hat simulators are eternal.

Doesn't help that a lot of these $60+ games aren't $60+ worth of fun. Despite what a lot of people want to say, that's where the reviews, impressions, and early playthroughs come in clutch, it helps me (and many others) make that decision.

The reviews alone are pushing me to buy mario wonder, ngl

 

[Lamperouge]

So, I'm about eight zones into Sonic Superstars right now.

Game's good. Not great, but a solid addition to the Classic series that I'd say is on par with the first game and Sonic CD. The bosses were a bit of a drag at first but they honestly become pretty fun once Emerald powers are thrown into the mix. The music being so inconsistent bothers me a bit, though, although I will say that Jun's compositions aren't anywhere near as annoying as they were in Sonic 4.

But yeah, I'm enjoying it a lot so far.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Place your bets, how many sony fans are gonna be salty that mario does good?

You are either going to love or hate the final boss.

I fall firmly into the camp of sheer loathing.

I still will be buying Mario rpg after spidey and wonder. But I’ve been slowing down too.

I have a pretty decent backlog on switch that I want to get through first. Still got to finish live a live and advance wars, and then there’s a bunch of games I didn’t get to start yet.

 

[CannonStreak]

You all think this means anything?

I suspect a bunch of insta-death bull**** in my future.

The Switch Pro U 2 is real.

It runs games in 5D 7K quality it launches with Smash Ultimate Deluxe 3D with no cuts and 100 new characters and it also cooks you breakfast and comes with a free goth gf.

I did 3 playthroughs now but I find myself skipping bosses by just exiting the stage if I don't vibe with a run, have fun, you're at the part where I started doing that lmao

Do you mean the final boss, the second final boss or the final final boss?

Literally how?

5D? So you'll be able to smell the games?

Smash tournaments are about to become No Items, Ivysaur Only.

To be honest, with the games coming out the same week I’m surprised there wasn’t an ad, at least in America throwing back to the old antagonistic SEGA vs Nintendo ads of the 80s and 90s.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Literally how?

game having worst luck with leaks than Mario, Sonic, and Spider-Man combined

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Literally how?

If this is real then it’s a a couple characters that makes sense and one that leaves me scratching my head. But if this is all the dlc they do then there’s cause for alarm.

 

[Guynamednelson]

Well they aren't gonna have any money for a second season if all you do is complain they couldn't have a 36 character roster even with a AAA budget, I might add

 

[TMNTSSB4]

When it comes to the NASB2 dlc thing, it doesn’t really make sense to me. Bringing in Zuko and Iron to have 3 firebenders but leave out Toph feels pretty dumb, Krabs being in but still leaving Sandy out is confusing, and I won’t even get started on Rocksteady over Leo and Mikey while downgrading Shredder to a boss.

Nickelodeon (and by default that damned mountain) should be giving these people more time to do things

It was in development for 2 years. That's normal for fighters.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

It’s also arguably normal to be allowed for more time if wanted/needed.

 

[Guynamednelson]

Well they probably don't think it's rushed considering all the content they added that ISN'T eleven particular characters.

That may be true, tho at the same time who knows what they’re thinking. It doesn’t help that some of the cuts don’t really make sense, and I can’t really say some of the newcomers don’t make sense due to fighting games being what they are. I’m sure it’ll still be a big enough hit for a 3rd game, but with the present day thoughts had, the weirdness with the roster hits a bit hard.

Even still, it's not like this game is going to have less content than NASB1 at launch, which is what I feel like people are acting like when they focus on the cuts and ONLY the cuts.

Just wait until they find out Mortal Kombat has never done Armageddon again. And that's a franchise which according to its devs is the only fighting game series to truly have AAA budgets!

Ironically, the reviews kinda pulled me in for the new Sonic game, I wasn't to keen on it before but it looks kinda fun now that I'm looking at it.

But they also dissuaded me from buying it full price.
