S.C.G

A fair point, it was the first number which came up when I searched "Ounce to Gram" so I went with that. Then noticed the correlation between the number of codenames and the amount in grams. It could just as easily be a case of in a meeting, someone at Nintendo stating "Let's call it Ounce" because why not? The codename "NX" was supposedly chosen just because it sounded cool.

From looking at that page with all the codenames on, the only link I could come up with, is that if you convert "Ounce" to Grams in terms of weight measurement, it's just over 28g, in that list of projects there are 26 previous codenames, counting everything. Did Nintendo Alarmo have a codename? If it did, it's not in that list, which would mean that there should be 27, which would make the Ounce the 28th in the list. That's all I've got... unless it has something to do with weight, and I can't see the console weighing just over 28 Grams... maybe it has something to do with the controllers or the physical media?

343 Industries rebrands as Halo Studios with development of the Halo series seemingly moving to Unreal Engine 5 instead of proprietary software. Not sure if this warrants its own thread, but I thought it might bring back a spark of conversation to the Xbox thread at least.

Excellent news, I remember buying the original game on the PS4, playing it on the day of release for two hours before work... and then... not playing the game ever again, I even sold it but I've always wondered about the game since, plus I picked up the second game when I bought a PS5 over a year ago, which I still haven't set up, but I intend to soon. So understandably, I'm interested in this remaster. Here's what I originally said about the game six and a half years ago... Perhaps this time, a console generation later, I'll play through the game properly, plus the DLC... and it's sequel, plus the DLC for that too. Interestingly, I've just realised that when I was buying PS5 games that I wanted to play, I bought the standard version of Horizon II without the DLC, but there is a complete version with the DLC on the disc, though it is a bit rare now, it would seem, as it was released a year ago. I wonder if another print run might happen for Horizon II Forbidden West Complete Edition now that this remaster has been announced? I know the game is £32.99 digitally, and the dlc is only £14.99 but... it would be nice to own it all on two discs. Edit - I bought the only copy of Horizon II Forbidden West Complete Edition that I could find, it comes with a steelbook case (separate from the sealed game) which also seems to be collectable, so if anyone collects steelbooks and wants the case for £40 including postage (cheapest currently on it's own is £40 plus postage) or a sealed standard edition of Horizon II (PS5) for £33 including postage (it seems to sell for £32 - £35 sealed plus postage) then let me know or PM me, otherwise I'll sell them in the shop or on eBay, but I thought I'd offer them here first.

I finally decided to pre-order this last night thanks to a 20% off code which is still currently active on eBay, making it around £38 which is... a lot cheaper than on the Nintendo Store, so long as you aren't too concerned about pre-order bonuses. I believe this is the third new Switch game I've purchased this year, the other two being Another Code: Recollection and Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, both of which I've still yet to play. I'm hoping that a new Zelda game might get me back into gaming, beyond the usual multiplayer games I play each week, as I haven't really played much in terms of single-player games for a while now. This game looks to be enjoyable, fun, and clearly making the most of the engine and art style from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening remake, though this looks like it'll run a bit better overall, plus with the gameplay being more experimental in nature, it looks like it brings a bit of the more modern Zelda titles, into a game featuring more hand-crafted areas, hopefully combining the two styles well enough that many people will enjoy this new take on a well-worn but established action adventure template, that the series is known for. Only a few more days.

*watches the trailers* So the new One Piece game goes pretty hard...

Ah OK, I only just got back so I might not be in for Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, also I remember playing it the first time and the lag did kind of break the gameplay for me, I felt like I wasn't in control of Kirby for most of the game. I was glad to have played it at least once but, I'll probably leave you to it, which means there's potentially a free space for someone else to play, so I thought I'd at least mention now. Have fun, try not to kill each other too much.
