Gotta give credit to Shattered Soldier on the PS2, but that's around 20 years old at this point.

We already got a spiritual successor in Cuphead, I'm not waiting on Konami to make anything decent these days.

Neo Contra is fun.

Pentiment is a great immersive historical narrative game. You play as an artist traveling through 1500s Bavaria, who's forced to help solve a crime and in the process learn a lot about life in early modern times. The gameplay is 90% walking around, clicking on things, choosing dialog options, and (most importantly) deciding who to have dinner with. There are occasionally little interactive sequences to break things up. One of those sequences involves cards. It pretty low pressure though. Definitely not as hardcore as the cookie cutting minigame.

Sounds amazing. Thank you!

I saw the card bit in the trailer and with everyone talking about Balatro assumed the worst.

I got this title for free due to my proximity to an idiot who wanted to save $5 on an avatar by having someone else spend $9.95 instead.
I’m usually pretty positive on the Directs but this one was garbage. Where are either of the Dragon Quest games???

Real lack of dunking on the wannabe Nintendo Lawyers of the 00s who assured everyone that NONE of the Mother trilogy would EVER see a stateside release again. Music licensing issues, weird jokes and references in the games, Nintendo crunching the numbers and moving on completely from the franchise... yet here we are.

Nobody is doing that because it's still only releasing in Japan. The situation hasn't changed at all.

Listen, burning someone decades after the fact is my prerogative, but please understand EarthBound and Earthbound Origins coming to Wii/U handily broke certain narratives around what was and wasn't possible from Nintendo at the time. I understand Mother 3 is just for Japan NSO for now, regardless, the series is still around and I like it.

I'm amused by how proud they are of this switch game looking better than its 3DS predecessor.

I just can't wait to play Fantasy Life!

If anybody is playing Pocket Card Jockey, I'm curious about one thing. The 3DS version had a way to share horses you've bred via QR code. Is there an equivalent to that feature on Switch, or did that get axed?

I was under the impression that Pocket Card Jockey was basically a port of the iPhone arcade version?

Which is fine by me, really.

Decided to start the afternoon playing the Unicorn Overlord demo and had to stop 6 hours in. Definitely sold me on the game. It does a good job of ramping up the complexity at an even pace. Every battle has something new to consider and the squad building aspects are great fun.
