Thinking of getting Snipperclips to play with my girlfriend who doesn't play games. I remember it being well regarded at launch, is that game actually good or was it a "launch game that isn't 1 2 Switch" effect?

It's a legit fun game. We even got the DLC when we had plenty of other games to play. Great for a newbie as it's a way more chill puzzle deal than twitchy.

People were spouting rumors of a Switch Mini coming this year as far back as 2017. Whatever happens, we'll see it when we see it. Not like I'm likely to buy a hardware revision anyway because I already have my Switch and don't want to dump another $250-300 on a new one.

Don't think a mini was anything other than what people wanted because of the 3ds, definitely no real rumors as all the rumors are for a more efficient\powerful version. The switch isn't getting smaller, readability is already on a knifes edge.

You say you got an 8 1/3 chance of a price cut at the next direct.

But I, I say we got a 141 2/3 chance of a hardware revision cuz Nintendo KNOWS it's just an oversized portable!

Picked up the Sega Genesis Classics collection, and man this input lag is pretty bad. Makes Sonic almost unplayable, amongst other games. Kinda stinks, but I got it mainly to play Phantasy Star IV on my Switch. I'd really like to think a patch is incoming to fix the lag?

Snipperclips is a lot of fun with a partner who doesn’t play many games. Overcooked is not!

Get the version with all the extra stuff included.

Smash Ultimate is a good game, but it has a lot of game breaking glitches in it right now.

Smash Ultimate on release is far more polished and functional than Melee or really any other Smash game was upon release

WiiU was a financial failure so that makes sense but you're right about GCN. 64 got an expansion pack which is kiiinda filling the same niche of a HW revision.

The 64 expansion pack was done as a pack-in by Rareware at their own expense and was a band-aid for the issue that they make Donkey King 64 too memory-intensive and it couldn’t run without crashing on a regular basis. It wasn’t really a proper console revision

There was the 64DD but it only released in Japan, nobody bought it, and it didn’t really get much in the ways of software support.

The same reason the mk team put out dx, retro did tf, to work on another game. Mk team made arms, but we don't know if the retro game was scrapped or finished to the point where they could do this.

Thank you for the feedback, gonna give Snipperclips a try!

Makes me sad that whatever Retro's been doing for the last 4 years is likely another cancelled project. They do great work and they'll have only released one game this decade.

A huge reason why Nintendo is still one of the few Japanese companies that are still relevant is because they are one of the few Japanese companies that take chances on new developers and are willing to train talent. Remember, Retro Studios was just a random nobody developer before Nintendo took their chance on them developing one of the most important projects for the Gamecube.

I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo had Next Level Games or someone similar work on Prime 4. Actually that would lineup pretty well being that Next Level's previous title, a Metroid game at that, released in the latter half of 2016. Obviously Nintendo had Retro shadow the developer, and both Nintendo and Retro didn't approve of the job they were doing and deduced that the developer of the title just couldn't make the cut. So Retro asked Nintendo if they could step in and make it all on their own, to which Nintendo agreed.

Retro weren't entirely nobodies, a bunch of early staff there had also worked at Iguana on the Turok games. You can kind of see the lineage from that to Prime. What I really want is for Creative Assembly to do a Metroid game because Alien Isolation was mint.

Okay bad example, but Nintendo is known for taking many more chances with developers compared to other large Japanese companies.

Wondering where that daughter would come from. The way the games have been going, Samus would most likely end up procreating via asexual fragmentation or smth

Can't wait for the wacky family adventures of Samus, Dark Samus, SA-X and uuuh, Young Samus.
