Absolutely at that price. Shin'en are heroes and wizards.

That's not a bad list at all tbf. The two Zelda games would definitely benefit from a performance patch on better hardware, as would Pokemon of course. Odyssey is a bit of an odd on as that is already buttery smooth at 900p on the OG. I have an inkling this means they're going to boost resolution or add in 120hz support. I hope that is the case! Will definitely boot up ARMS again if that is the case.

Amazing that just holding on to my SNES, N64 and GC stuff for 20-30 years would have netted me a pretty tidy net profit on the OG sticker price by all accounts. The folly of youth and needing "the next thing" made me get rid of it all to fund the next purchase.

As I was reading through this thread I remembered this: I'm sure we've all seen it. I watched it multiple times back in the day. Amazing that Donkey Kong Racing disappeared without a trace and wasn't reworked in some way. And Kameo of course, finding a home on the Xbox. I always thought the Galleon trailer was amazing. What ever happened to that game?

Colin Moriarty refers to the NFL and American Football as the "greatest tactical RPG of all time", and I think he's probably right about it. It's quite a hard sport to get into it, but once you do, it's a lot of fun to play (as a video game at least) and fun to watch. The Madden games of today unfortunately suffer from FIFA syndrome though, where EA is just using them as a vehicle for people to micro-transact and spend money. The old games from this gen and the PS360 gen are really fun though.

Managed to snag a GameCube controller fairly quickly after waiting 30 seconds in a queue of 12 people. Definitely going to try and source the system locally on launch day though. Managed to get the OLED with zero issues on day 1 here, so I hope the same will be true of this one.

Really looking forward to this one. Put ~80 hours into the OG on Switch and loved every second of it. This is a rogue-like done properly and I bought it on a whim for £3 in a sale. Will be interesting to see how the switch to 3D changes things up.

I'm seeing a lot of misreadings of the Game-Key Cards online. Some people claiming ALL games will be a key card. Clearly not. But yes, it does seem that this is replacing the slip of paper, code-in-a-box physical we got with some Switch OG games. It seems Key-Card does not register the game to your account, hence needing the cartridge to be inserted. I do think this means resale, trading, lending to friends etc will be possible, which is obviously a much better system than Switch 1.

Big flex

It's cray cray that we get these two games but the cowards won't even give us R/B & G/S on the GameBoy app.

Congratulations on your Switch 2 launch budget.

Same. Fast RMX was my 2nd Switch game after BOTW and it was awesome.

That's FANTASTIC!

Probably going for a BOTW / TOTK thing with it. They know it will sell well, so they bump the price up. I remember paying £70 for BOTW on launch from GAME because GAME. That was the RRP (phys & digital) at least, even if many places sold it below that. I think the standard is going to be £66 and the "big games" will have a £75 price tag. Nintendo's cheaper digital prices ain't gonna be fooling me tho. No sir. I'm going Olivia Newton-John for every major release this gen.
