Looks like it's on sale through the 4th. I picked it up just now and am excited to try it out. I hear it's not very long but that's allright for what it is.

I'm also thinking about minecraft. I've never gotten into it because I just can't be bothered to boot up my gaming PC /just/ to play it, but maybe if it's on a console I might. I'll probably wait for some kind of sale for that one as well.

Just an anecdote but I've probably played more Minecraft than anything else in my life, and I still boot it up every so often just to start a new world. It is really good (and popular for a good reason), and mining deep underground late at night is one of the more relaxing things in gaming I can think of.

That said, $30 is kind of a bad price when it is often half that (or less) on other consoles. I don't know that the digital versions ever go on sale, but to get it for cheaper we might have to wait until physical versions show up and then people start buying and selling those used. Or just spend the $30 on a game that could easily fill 3000 hours. I don't have it for Switch yet but I know it's kind of inevitable.

So apparently that one video Larry Bundy Jr. did about Miyamoto half a year ago caught on with a lot of people. Even though pretty much every point made in the video much debunked I've still seen people in the past few days wondering why those European guys who worked on Star Fox 2 are jazzed about it finally seeing an official release when they were never payed for it.

Because they were paid for it. Those, those five or so guys who were contracted to work on it got payed. They were payed twenty-years ago.

if you wait for the right time you can pretty much get eBay value or better in some cases. i traded in majoras mask for 3ds and got $44 whereas on eBay you can get one for $25 or so.

Why would he lie? Gamestop is very overt in how they throw money away these days to stay relevant. I paid for my Switch and BOTW with an old 3ds and 6 games I never played. You even get whatever your state's sales tax is as a bonus basically because they don't tax trade in credit when you pay with it.

At least a dumb stylized and inaccurate cartoon of yourself is better than...

Ok so the reason I even made the last post is because I found a channel a little while ago someone recommended for "Elder Scrolls Lore". I don't know if it was this forum or GAF or somewhere else but in any case I visit the channel and see this video right away. The dude took everything Larry's video said hook, line and sinker. Even the part about how RARE willingly sold themselves to Microsoft to get away from Nintendo even though that's like, not in the least how things went down.

Look at his main channel banner. Look at it and tell me a stupid cartoon caricature wouldn't be better than that.

Nah, Nintendo games are worth a lot, even at GameStop. I got like $270 or so back in February for maybe 15 Wii and 3DS games. And they pretty much were all Mario and Zelda games.

The only Argonauts employee with sour grapes about the cancellation was the founder, Jez San. He had the most to lose from it.

Yeah I noticed he's pretty much been the sole source of a lot of deez sour grapes, considering when contacted people like Dylan have been like "That seems like a pretty big stretch." when they hear someone say that Mario 64 was really Argonaut's idea, Nintendo had never planned to make some sort of 3D Mario game before being pitched one and Miyamoto personally stole it from these guys like the Grinch on Christmas Eve.

I don't know how that's possible considering they're only gonna be making like fifty SNES Classics at most.

They made 2.3 million NES Classics and will make significantly more than that for the SNES. 21st best selling game was Super Street Fighter 2, which sold 2 million, so they beat it by default if they truly make more. (Though Super is the version Japan gets, so I guess Star Fox 2 will come in at 22)

I did this last week trying to desperately sell a ton of junk and old consoles but got lucky and ended up with like 85% bonus store credit, nearly $500. It was really weird, I walked in expecting way less than $200. I don't know what I'm going to do with $500 in gamestop bucks.

If we were a little later into the Switch's lifecycle right now I would probably trade in my PS4 and come home with a few games. Right now the only ones I'm missing which are out are Disgaea and maybe Rime and Minecraft I guess. But I'm perfectly okay waiting for some kind of sale for those so my PS4 lives to collect dust another day.

Not to mention Nintendo is basically shoving preorder games down my throat the next few months so I'll have plenty to play.

I got the switch on a whim because I have a bunch of travel coming up and I kept seeing them in stock at Target. Used it on my first flight and I gotta say it's pretty fantastic. Minus the battery life. I had to keep it plugged in.

Zelda great, can't wait for stardew, Mario and splat.

Persona 5, Yakuza 0, Nioh, Nier Automata, Monster Hunter XX, Monster Hunter World, any actually good AAA multiplatform title to come out in the next 4-5 years because it either won't come to the Switch or will be an inferior version.
