Bunch of marks.
Split fiction getting incredible reviews, looks amazing but who do I play with. My night schedule makes it hard for anyone in my country, I play in the middle of the night. I may need to play with one of you on another time zone.
Meh!
Free Nintendo switch online for 14 days for Mario day.
You spoil us Nintendo.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobile
I'd be interested to look in to that, but lack the hardware to play it.Nintendo has developers nuts in a steel grip or something.
No one is announcing anything and some devs/publishers act like they still don't have the lowdown on what it's capabilities are.
Meanwhile all I'm concerned with is finding a 1tb or over, reasonably priced sd express card.
Do you remember that rumour that Switch2 would be called Switch Attach?
It's always stuck in my mind, partly because of the top usb c port. Now we have Nintendo patents showing that you could have a magnetic attachment for a phone to be used as a 2nd screen. The rumour also mentioned magnetically attaching to soft materials.
An AR camera has been rumoured. Labo showed it could be used as a hobo VR device.
A 3rd party case showed you could attach things magnetically to the back like a battery or HDD?
What do you guys think of these rumors and is there anything you can think of that would be fun if attached?
What do you think could or should be ported from older Nintendo systems?
I think 3DS ports would be cool like Mario 3D Land and A Link Between worlds. I wouldn't mind a Mario Kart Double dash and FZero gx remake.
So I saw a video last night saying that Trump may be trying to crash the economy, making it easier for rich people to buy up companies more easily. This happened in 2008.
And now an analyst is saying that physical games will be impacted and that publishers may choose to only release games digitally to avoid this.
Thoughts?
Any ideas for Luigis Mansion 4?
I think it should be called Luigis City Mansion and you break out into the streets in a decently sized city. You could have subway sections too. Maybe fake New York, a ferry ride and such.
Or maybe Luigis Island? Trapped in a Code Veronica style island?
https://www.eurogamer.net/sony-announces-uk-ps5-rental-scheme-from-11month
Sony have launched a PS5 rental scheme in the UK??
£11 a month but for a 36 month contract.
My mind is bending even thinking about this. It costs more for ps5 with a disc drive, more for a Pro and more for the VR set.
If you bought games digitally you would lose access as soon as you stop renting and you'd still have to pay for games. Or pay more for the disc drive ver and buy discs you can no longer play once your rental period is up.
Either way you'd have to buy a ps5 once your rental is over if you want access to any of your games.
I guess if you just wanted to try a few Sony exclusives then be done with it, it might work out.
I hope so! Shit American dollar and cheap shares are a great combo for Australians.
Oh it's going to crash for sure. And there is no way companies are nice enough to give digital discounts, they will use that as an excuse to just raise all prices.

Good job Donald

I'm usually playing adventure games, but recently I've been on a 2D Metroidvania kick.
And the bosses are beginning to piss me off. I'm exploring, I'm having fun. And then a boss comes along too frequently and bogs everything down.
Some are mildly annoying, some are a massive pain in the ass. Some you have to grind for, some you have to reequip for. Some you have to painstakingly memorise attack patterns.
On a several of these games I'll get to the final boss and I just can't be bothered struggling through just to see the end credits.
So what are your thoughts on bosses? Are they overused? How should they be tuned? Should they ne optional or skip able?
Or should they be Nintendo style 3 hit bosses?
