Echoing others here - Yoku's Island Express is awesome! Lots of hidden paths to find for fruit and other goodies. Get it!

But better than them just releasing a bad game like that Team ninja Metroid collab… I can wait have plenty in the backlog.

If you like shumps - Sky Force Reloaded is fantastic and was on sale over the weekend, not sure if it is now.

None of the original classic side scrollers ran at 60fps... Talking NES/SNES/Genesis/N64 era here. Modern games sure, but if its animated at 30fps, being displayed at 60 gets you nothing.

This game is really cool - hack and slash pinball!

+1 on Ring Fit, its a fun way to exercise and not drop a ton of money on equipment or the gym fees.

It is a modern day remaking of the first Legend of Zelda with current gen features. Just like the first Legend of Zelda the designers want you to create the story and journey in your head, doing whatever you want, exploring wherever you want. It was remarkably refreshing and bold in an age where many games are so coddling and hold your hand so much you just follow along. I cannot wait for BOTW 2.

Gamestop used to be great but the past two years their choice in who they hire has really gone downhill - at least at the one I visit. This store's employees go out of their way to berate your game choices if your preferences differ from theirs. They even berated my kid when he went if for some Fornite stuff, it was really unbelievable and unnecessary.

Also Gamestop is more like a spencers gift store for gamers than a videogame store now. If you don't preorder you can't get a new title on launch day in most cases and you will get berated again for not pre-ordering. You can't find the rare games like you used to, can't get any real recommendations from the employees because they all hate working there, its just not the same place it once was.

That is why I avoid Gamestop now.

Yooka the Impossible Lair is really good, definitely felt more like a "Rare" game than the first Yooka game.

Any interest in setting up a Pinside Turnip exchange for Animal Crossing?

Where is the drift originating from and why does replacing the stick resolve it?

So I will play the "works in the industry" card and then drop the Ace with I actually worked at Nintendo for quite sometime so I will provide a little insight without breaking my NDA.

1) Nintendo focuses on new experiences, not updating the past games to bring them up to current graphical standards. When that was done for Super Mario 1, 2 and 3 in the SNES All Stars cart, the majority of feedback received was that players preferred the original graphics they remembered so fondly.

2) Nintendo is now a nostalgia company and creates new ways to increase your nostalgia for their products. In contrast Disney is currently in the process of destroying the nostalgia they relied on for years with their remaking Lion King, Aladdin, Mulan etc.

3) Nintendo voraciously protects all its IP, as would you if you had billion dollar franchises. Some fans decided it would be cool to do a Super Mario 64 remake, and yes it is neat. But Nintendo 100% did the correct thing in shutting it down.

I never said no one liked it, I said people prefer the original form. It was released to generate more interest in the Nintendo online service during celebration of Mario's 35th, as it has a limited availability. Is Final Fantasy 7 remake a better game with shiny graphics? Is Resident Evil? I already know where all the jump scares are, I already know in FF7 who dies and when... Its not a new experience, but given how adamant you are about this argument it isn't worth debating further.

E3 is so unnecessary now, too many leaks, too much real time information. Sony is right to skip it, and Nintendo Direct's always give timely updates. Time to bury it in the history of gaming.

Looking forward to most everything Nintendo announced, they probably had the most surprises of the show.

There were Metroid DS releases over the last 15 years, Dread was definitely not in development for 15 years.

Thanks for the update, I was able to grab some!

Just finished it - its awesome!

Not to mention having to re-buy every table you have owned previously at full price. Zen can eat a bag of dicks.
