Damn, Fresh Prince night? Bummer I’m working this Thursday

God I hate that gaudy RGB "Gamer" shite! You basically can't buy any decent PC gaming hardware these days without it being covered in tacky rainbow lights!

Oh this is badass! https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/8027/ Wario Land 4 now has native Game Boy Player rumble support! Works on real Game Boy Player hardware as well as other devices like the MiSTer and certain emulators (as well as the Analogue Pocket + DS Rumble Pak with an additional included patch). This is awesome! First time that rumble has ever been newly added into a GBA game that didn't originally have it. Hope the author of this patch now starts adding rumble to other GBA games, this is so cool!

God yes! I miss Pokémon Pinball something fierce! Have actually been playing both games quite a bit recently, especially with the cartridge rumble patch that lets you play the GBA game with rumble on the Analogue Pocket & MiSTer; has been a blast!

Glad you played HiFi Rush @RedShell; knew it’d be up your alley. Game is super solid Blimey! I need to do an update of my own, it’s been like forever, innit…

Good. The shit that the games industry are pulling (especially with ML voice synthesis) is appalling. Give ‘em hell!

Bloody hell! That price hike came fast! They really couldn’t wait after the Game Pass bump huh? Who in their right mind would subscribe to Premium at this point!? If it wasn’t already a ripoff, it’s outright robbery at that price.

Yeah, we'll probably get the Martinet video that they promised here as well. I suspect that this is also where they'll announce the online play features too.

Looks nice, but it’s also kinda rich of them to introduce this new model after making their existing customers wait more than a year for their current pre-orders…

A few extra minor deets… Apparently, two demos were shown off; one first party and one third party (probably a UE5 demo). Said to be very impressive graphically. Finally, Nintendo seem to be coy about whether or not Switch 2 will have backwards compatibility or not (uh-oh…). That’s all I know.

My Uncle At Nintendo is back… Switch 2 has apparently now been seen in person (probably shown off behind closed doors at Gamescom). Deets to come from certain reporters very soon… Looks like it’s finally happening!

I very much appreciate how 90s as hell that trailer is

Utter bloody suicide

SAGAFTRA does indeed cover video game voice actors, and they did organise an industry-wide strike in 2016-2017.

1080p on PS5/Series X is still crap, just less crap than the Switch version.

First fridges, now wraps. Is Microsoft looking to open up a restaurant?

Mario is an odd thing in that Nintendo have always recorded new clips for each and every game; alongside reusing old voice clips. They could easily have gotten away with just reusing voice clips from their vault years ago and yet they keep recording new lines. I don't see them stopping any time soon. Though it is a shame that we'll never get to see Martinet do another fully voice acted Wario game again... Wario Ware Gold was so good!!

Nah, they'll probably just get a sound-alike in. This isn't the first time they've recast one of their characters and it won't be the last. Edit: It won't be long until we find out who's voicing Mario & Luigi...

Horrible news I swear to God, they had better not be replacing him with Chris Pratt...

Oh?

Knowing Konami? I wouldn't be surprised if they cut the credits sequences out of all three games in their entierty... That's exactly the kind of thing that they'd do...

Previews are going out now... https://www.nintendolife.com/features/hands-on-metal-gear-solid-master-collection-vol-1-could-be-so-much-more-but-isnt 720p 30FPS on all platforms (half the FPS of the original HD Collection). #FucKonami.

I’d question their legitimacy… DS bootlegs are super common now. It’s like how GBA carts used to be throughout the late 2000s on eBay when it comes to DS games right now.

Agreed. Smash Bros is such a tough act to follow that even Smash Bros itself basically has no future now after Ultimate. That's why it's not worth trying to go head to head against it, you're never going to come off looking favourable. You need to do something drastically new and original.
