I've been playing Super Mario RPG remake. I've underestimated how challenging this game would be. Some of these battles go on much longer than I expected.

Welp.  I will probably not have the patience for it.

It's actually not as difficult as I initially thought. I was playing it wrong. Once I raised a few levels and figured out the timing for blocking and getting the extra hits in battle, it became much easier.

Ive beaten it about 4 times and not found it hard at all

Yes this. But I do see lder gamers igrating to steam deck but i am biased by my own exp

Last I heard Steamdeck had sold 5 million.

Switch is at or nearing 130 million.

I think a dedicated Sony or MS handheld would do well.

But they might then face the same problem Nintendo had with delivering games to a home console and handheld.

I thought Switch was near 150 million and that that was probably why Sony updated their PS2 numbers.

I updated the list of rumoured Switch 2 games in the thread courtesy of IGN.

I just remembered the Robocop game, I would like to play that. Did anyone try it?

Also I really want Syberia the World Before.

Did anyone play the Broken Sword remake yet? I'm waiting on a physical release.

Sony should do another production run of PS2 systems just to spite Nintendo. Nyaa I bet they'd sell millions. I'd buy one.

The PS2 mini perhaps? You know if they hadn't completely botched the PS1 mini, I could see that happening.

I could use a new PS2 as well. I don't trust my current ones to last much longer.

If you have one with the HDD bay, you can buy a special PS2 memory card on Amazon that allows you to rip all of your PS2 disks to the internal HDD and play the games off the HDD; no disk needed after theme ripping process. Spawnwave on YT has a video about it. Might help your system to last longer.

I was bored by the Robocop game. It's a cool recreation of that world but the gameplay is very simple and repetitive.

I hope Nintendo shows two or three games playing on the switch 2 during the reveal as a tease. I expect the launch Mario game whether it's Kart or a 3D platformer.

Aww.

I was looking forward to Robocop.

I watched I Dream of Indies 2023 game awards last night.

Ugly, won. That's that game I told you guys about that I randomly spotted on the eshop.

They say it's criminally overlooked and I can see why, in that it doesn't seem to have received any marketing or promotion at all.

It looks really good and I've been waiting on a decent price drop for a while now.
