Cleanup has still not quite begun in earnest, as we're discussing what the insurance company is willing to pay for as far as dumpsters and such. My family has been picking through stuff though, and found some more things. No Switch yet, but it does turn out I had a second SNES!



Considering that cart looks like it didn't suffer any warping or melting from heat and it was plugged into the SNES, I bet it still works unless it got sprayed with water (I'm guessing it did), at which point... maybe?


It'd be very on brand for Actraiser to refuse to die.

Really disappointing. Most of these games are already on other collections on the Switch, including the upcoming Capcom Fighting Collection

I can’t wait to spend big bucks on this special edition like I did for the other two XC games!

Something mentioned in the AUNZ tweet is you get the game at release, but the Collector's Edition stuff comes later in the year.

Also locked down a reminder in my calendar for tomorrow to make drat sure I have a chance to get it. :shepspends:

Look on the bright side.



The KOTOR games are some of the most interesting Star Wars stories imo. They both own.

They’ll be a nice palate cleanser after the god awful Obiwan show. Yeah, I know it’s not finished yet but come on.

One hour until KOTOR II unlocks, which sucks because I'm without wifi until tonight :(

Anyone know when the "mod" patch is supposed to hit? Kinda feels like I shouldn't start the game until that's available.

They should, because buying second hand copies of them in English is insane for no reason. I guess there was a limited print or something. But it's Kirby. How are there not millions of them out there?

If you play a game/demo and enjoy it then online reviews, especially from gaming media outlets, should mean absolutely nothing to you.


When there's no demo and you'd need to drop $60 to try a game? Yeah sure, check around online to see what others are saying.

I like turn based combat and I like Yakuza and I still agree with this. I want to beat people up!!!!

I remember when Yakuza 0 came out and the gaming community framed the series as “great stories but bad combat” and I couldn’t disagree about the combat more. It was super satisfying, I was happy to engage in almost all of the fights aside from when I got into too many random encounters and it gummed up the pacing.

There was a breakdancing move set!!!!

the only yakuza game with combat i didn't enjoy (i didn't play the original PS1 versions) were Y3 where people blocked way too goddamn much and had too much health, and Y6 to an extent where they hadn't figured out the new engine yet

Yakuza has some real hilarious comedy moments in its fighting but there is also so much of it and nothing feels better than putting the game on easy and just trivializing t
