There was a recent Sakurai Famitsu column where he stated that they were still working on the Smash DLC while teleworking. i would imagine it depends on whether their employer equipped them to handle work from home, unless japan has some kind of national ministry of telecommuting that i don't know about

Lonely Mountains: Downhill is coming to switch on the 7th. On the surface it's a mountain biking time trials game, but the way the mountain is designed it almost plays a bit like a platformer with some exploration elements.

When I said directs were being delayed because of the virus I was laughed at. This is outrageous.

Yeah I think the very obvious assumption is that the direct is delayed because the games that would go in the direct are delayed, not because Nintendo can't manage to make a video.

No more Directs but at least Spelunky 2 might release this year. I'm on pins and needles for confirmation of a Switch port. Also Yoku's Island Express is on sale again, for the new switch owners in the thread who might not have bought it already. Hand of Fate 2 is 60% off too, the first one was pretty good so I'm gonna buy it.

Relic Hunters Zero Remix is on sale for prepurchase, and comes out on 5/7. I enjoyed the game on Steam; it's a fun shooter with couch co-op. I'm looking forward to seeing what updates they've made since the last time I played.

From what I recall, basic fetch quests like "get 5 monkey butts" or whatever auto-completed, but none of the other types did. It's been like a decade since I last played though.

the way I remember it like 9 out of 10 side quests involved collecting monkey butts and I may have just stopped bothering with side quests altogether as a result

I did all of the side quests last year when I did my replay of the Xeno series. Most of them are just busy work you accept while you're doing whatever and when you get the 5 bear asses you get a pop up saying "GREAT! Here's your reward." The new quest stuff should make it a lot easier to find and get them now though, because there's so many of them and some are even timed to specific events (fortunately the game indicates this).

I was playing the 3DS version and it was kind of rough, I didn't get much farther than the area after Guar plain, colony base something or other. So I'm really looking forward to the new version. Hope I can finish Trials of Mana by then.

Looking for more space. this is the best value https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-400GB-microSDXC-Memory-Adapter/dp/B074RNRM2B/ but amazon has a problem with fake memory cards so when you get it, run h2testw on it before you use it to make sure you didn't get a counterfeit with only like 2gb of usable space. if you don't want to spin the amazon warehouse roulette you can go to like best buy or something but they're a lot more expensive there, and they sell slightly different skus so they don't have to price match. above 400gb the price starts to increase a lot faster than the storage so it's not really worth it, and i think the absolute biggest you can get is only 512gb anyway

I guess I should know by now, but how does Xenoblade Chronicles 2 compare to the first one? I loved, or grew to love, almost everything about the first. The accents, the insane tutorials for systems I never understood, the huge world, the lore, and that giant level 80 gorillas are in the same location as tiny level 1 bunnies. I also loved that gaining even one level meant you were significantly stronger, so it mattered more. I played through the entirety of XCX but was largely disappointed. Slow, empty world. MMO systems but without any other people. Plot that I didn't care about. Silent protagonist. I did like the giant robots but not enough to excuse the rest. I know XC2 is extremely anime, but how much does it bleed into everything else?

Price matching is extremely ymmv but it's always designed to be anti-consumer.
