Social The Social Thread 3.2.2 - Switch 2 Hype Time!

[TheMightyP]

We didn't need a video for this.

Major points: Xbox isn't going 3rd party, but they will move a lot of exclusives to other platforms. Oh also their exclusives will be on game pass day 1. Activision games will be there too, starting with Diablo. Also they will focus on crossplay and cross saves while also asserting they will not be 3rd party.

Also Phil Spener is talking about gaming layoffs for some reason and complaining that the gaming industry wasn't growing despite the fact that he asserted Xbox was growing by buying out 3rd party studios and still laid off so many employees. Full of caca.

Also they're just yapping away

 

[SuperSonicFlyer]

Not really anything in that Xbox thing besides the 4 games going multiplatform that could really make Nintendo needing to reschedule a Direct.

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder when the Direct may be? Still, there may be no Direct at all, since we had a good number of tweets and videos from Nintendo yesterday.

In other news the second Smash Ultimate tier list recently came out.

I really don't want to watch the video, is It true what SneakyLink said about them not releasing Indiana Jones on PS5?

Yes, they did say it is not coming to other consoles.

... Dammit.

 

[SuperSonicFlyer]

... Dammit.

I know, right? I'd say that is quite a shame.

 

[Deleted member]

I know, right? I'd say that is quite a shame.

Yeah, out of this whole ordeal, the only thing I was hoping for was that I wouldn't have to pay a whole 500 bucks on a new console just to play one single game I deeply care about.

But oh well, you can't have everything as some say. May see if my PC is able to run the game when It launches.

 

[SuperSonicFlyer]

Anyway, if Hi-Fi Rush is one of those games possibly going on multiple platforms and the next Direct/Partners' Showcase has that game; even though they did not say specifically if Hi-Fi Rush was one of those games, maybe that being multi-platform is why the Direct/Partners' Showcase was delayed?

This is just a guess, by the way.

 

[TheMightyP]

Anyways that video was a waste of time. Phil Spencer trying to justify the gaming layoffs was lmao.

 

[Deleted member]

Ok, so besides Indy not coming to PS5, I genuiely can't complain about the amazing day I had.

-Spent time with my crush, having fun together and seeing cool videos.
-The X-Men '97 trailer dropped and It feels like a gift from heaven
-I passed all the subjects from the first semester at last and I feel more confident about my future on the production classes
-Finished a big assigment
-Went to see my friend who is a retailer at my local videogame Store and showed her the X-Men '97 trailer.
-Ate a crepé with Kinder Bueno ice cream and a Coke, It was delicious.
-Saw cool stuff at the stores.
-And tomorrow my Sora amiibo finally arrives from the My Nintendo Store.

Genuiely can't complain, I am very grateful with all of this going on. Praying so badly that eventually people such as Noipoi osby or Cutie Gwen for example get to have one of these days soon. They deserve It.

Wish Limited Run Games released their stuff over here in the Canary Islands, would love to play this Shantae game.

Although as you brought up, I could just wait for the console release.

X-Men '97.

Now that my friends is how you handle nostalgia right.

This and Top Gun: Maverick.

So like I am now starting to doubt that Nintendo actually delayed the Direct because of this. Like if true, it is probably because of Hi-fi rush and this Xbox thing might have overlapped or whatever.

But I swear there have never been legitimate rumors about Nintendo postponing or delaying something because of other events in the industry, every time (from what I remember, either officially announced or even just rumored) a Direct gets delayed is because of a Natural Disaster or some sort of other tragedy.

I'm almost starting to wonder if the Direct even exists at all, or if they are just going straight into Pokemon + Switch 2 reveal.

I think it is cool that LRG does these GBA cartridges. but I really hate the box template design, I wish it was the normal "Only for Gameboy Advanced" because the LRG specific logo makes it look bootleg. I know why the have to do it (rights issues, probably) but I wish they didn't.

Standard edition of Shantae Advance is expected to ship in October and the collector's edition is expected to ship in January next year.

I want to believe the digital console version will release Spring or Summer.

$60 for a GBA game? In 2024?

Eh, makes sense.

It's more a collector's item than something you'll actually use.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I will start a new playthrough of the original Shantae game in the near future in light of today's news.

 

[TheMightyP]

Eh, makes sense.

It's more a collector's item than something you'll actually use.

I mean ok but it's still a GBA game in 2024 going full price. Unless you really want to shell out money just to stare at a cartridge.

Now me personally, I simply wouldn't get into an expensive hobby that I can't afford

Funniest thing is I could buy the entirety of my favorite deck for 50.


That's 55 cards for 50 dollars

Whereas this one card is 3x the price of 55 cards.

Yeah, I for example am into LEGO and general action figure stuff, but mostly the ones I get to afford or save money for.

I also am very selective with the stuff I buy. I may have the LEGO Daily Bugle, but you won't see me picking up the LEGO Avengers Tower or any Hot Toys figure because those go waaay beyond my budget.

 

[HyperSomari64]

I wish Project X Zone 3 was revealed on that rumored Direct.

For me that hobby (figure collecting) started as something very affordable and then became... Not that

One of my shelves is full of small One Piece figures and I plan on adding more to it

 

[Dukefire]

For Shantae Advanced, those with a GBA or a DS with a GBA port will be able to play it first. Also, does anyone have a GBA or DS with a GBA port? I have a GBA.

Original artwork was found on Twitter. Sorry that I don't know the artist.

Lol, I feel ya.

Look at all the stuff on my bedroom and my crystal desk:

I have quite the huge collection.

But my greatest item isn't one which cost money... It was this:

This drawing was made by one of my IRL friends last year for my birthday, and It includes most of my favourite characters in pop culture. I really LOVE It. Currently thinking on ways to preserve It for the future.

I need to complete the GBC Shantae.
