Could you play it or is it date locked?

I couldn't get into the first Ori demo. I don't get the combat of button mashing when an enemy is in your general vicinity. So weird.

Monster Hunter Rise looks pretty interesting. Basically I'm getting Monster Hunter plus platforming? Monster Hunter stories on the other hand can go piss off. I didn't think anyone like the first one.

Rune Factory 5 was a little disappointing. Combat was generally the least interesting part of the series, so it makes sense that they were making changes to it, but I wasn't really impressed with what they showed off. Visually it's really nothing special either. Given that the last game came out on the 3DS like 8 years ago or so, I thought they would have put a little more effort into it.

So completed Trine 4,best one so far and a touch easier than the first two games. Proper puzzles and head scratchers. Trine 2 looks amazing on switch. Like even offscreen it really shows how good the switch screen is and the game looks better than Trine 3 and 4. But Godamn it's a lot harder than I remember. It's puzzles are more physics based and you often have to cobble together some unlikely and improbable solution to get past some damned tricky situations. It's the most hardcore of the games.

So I guess the Switch is officially the successor to the 3DS now.

Saw the Fenyx Rising trailer. My God could they make it any more obvious of a BOTW clone? Anyhow the N. Direct was pretty good. Not much I'd buy but some solid support. That Square game that looks like Mario Galaxy would be good if its cheap enough. MH stories 2 looked the most appealing to me.

I liked it but it ran out of steam a bit. When I look at the games I actually kept it's a pretty small collection compared to DS.

I'll miss the stereoscopic 3D.  It added so much to the graphics.  Too bad we'll never see anything like it anymore.

I definitely want to get a 3DS at some point for this reason. My DS is dead so it'd allow me to get back into Korg DS-10, too.

Me neither. I was strong with the DS, but the 3DS never gripped for me.

Yeah, we've streamlined our creative process. I've also got my response to forum posts down to less than 3 days!

So for just $1,500 I can get an Xbox and a PS5!

*looks at retro collection*

Maybe I will wait a bit.

I listened to the latest GU podcast.  I think it's unfair and discriminating that the third co-host didn't get a mention anywhere.  I believe it was a cat?

And yes, a non portable Switch would be pretty unappealing.  The Switch Lite however has proven its merrit.  It's a great little console.

same here. The original DS, particularly the DSi, Is arguably my favorite game system ever. 3DS On the other hand never connected with me. Never felt right in my hands. And the library never really blew me away. Maybe at some point I will check out a 2DS and see if that's any better. Probably not though.

Ugh...  My phone tells me she's detecting moisture in her female USB parts and now is nagging me to do something about it.

So I did what I always do in a situation like this: I dunked her in some dry rice and put her in the other room so the nagging wouldn't bother me.
