@Glen-i I'm staying at my mom's place for today so I'd be up for our session any time. Not sure how the WiFi connection holds up, but we'll see

Yup, most likely sometime in the evening. How about 6pm UK time (assuming you're based in the UK)?

No, tonight. But I'm not at home, i.e. I'm a 2 hour train ride away. And I'm not sure when I'll be back tomorrow. That's why I wanted to give you a heads up.

That's the biggest issue in my opinion. No matter how much Nintendo fucks up, it doesn't matter...people happily spend the cash (and occasionally I'm part of them, see: me buying the anniversary collection). So why should Nintendo change? But for a company that paved the way for many innovations...do they really wanna stay where they are? Stuck with an archaic online offering, stuck with the same IPs over and over and over again, stuck with porting their oldest games to every generation? I hope not...

I'll try my best to be home by 6-7pm (German time). Not making any promises, though, as I will be drinking one or 50 alcoholic beverages tonight.

Reached chapter 14 today and it seems like this is the last "open" chapter. Lots of side quests and activities to do. I really don't want this game to end It is sooooooo good.

CDPR showing 505 Games how it's done. Man, I love that company

Indeed. I've used my Switch loads because of the thriving indie scene and because I've caught up on several old first party releases but after thinking about my time with the console...there's been nothing new to play for a long, long time now from Nintendo. It's sad, really...the Switch is a nice system and it sells like hot cakes, but it's been lacking significant first party support for quite a while now. Ports are nice and all, but come on...give us something new. I really hope they launch a new Switch version next year with it a nice line up of new games (that are compatible with the current Switch model).

Yeah, fuck that Shine My best mate and I decided to play through the collection on our upcoming weekly Sunday meet ups. Gonna spend one or two hours before the NFL kick-off getting stars. We'll start with Super Mario 64 and most likely won't finish it before the season ends.

So it's just stupid. Happy to avoid it then, thanks

Is it frustrating or difficult? I've always wanted to play a difficult Mario game...even the Champion's Road levels offer no challenge (this is a brag, yes!). If Lost Levels is difficult but fair, I'm going to give it a go sooner rather than later.

Looks cool I have only ever seen the first Daniel Craig Bond movie. My best friend (the one who pushed me to watch the Harry Potter movies) was again very disappointed in me I might ask her if she wants to watch 'em all with me. Will probably get a resounding "yes", since she finds Mr. Craig very handsome (and I don't blame her).

Similar in Germany. There's only an offer on Amazon.de but that doesn't even have the box art up, yet. I put a pre-order down and hope it's the real deal/it'll go through.

Quite the cool idea. Not for me, though.

Physically with limited stock. Digitally just until 31st of March next year.

Don't have to tell me Thankfully this one is not limited (...hopefully), so there's enough time to wait for impressions. And yes, I will never let this issue go

Interesting. You'd think they'd put at least a little more effort into this one, then...

Haven't enjoyed it as much as other Mario games, but it was a blast in multiplayer. Not sure then, if I wanna pay as much for a remaster, though. Depends on how much new content Bowser's Fury will bring.

To be honest...not really. There will be some people that will turn the thread to shit. Anyways, as much as I disagree with Nintendo's approach to the limited availability (only regarding the digital version), I just ordered a copy from Amazon.de (at least I hope the order gets through). I love these games and having them on my Switch will be nice. And if anything, with good care I will be able to get a hundred bucks out of it next year

Of course not, I just wanted to point out a bit of hypocrisy but apparently that's not something people like to discuss.

Not denying the high quality. It's just the hypocrisy (with regards to what I posted above) of some people that annoys me.

My post wasn't about which games are better, though

Something I think is hilarious: Activision, probably the worst video game company these days, releases a Crash Bandicoot remake (!) trilogy (!) for budget (!) price (don't forget about the Spyro trilogy). Nintendo releases an almost untouched port collection for 60 bucks and gets praised to all heavens. Edit: And mark my words: Nintendo will release the Switch Pro in April next year. This collection is just a means to sell more regular Switch consoles
