So apparently those Pokemon game budget leaks weren't accurate. It was just the initial investment to make a build to show off to higher ups.


Can't say I'm surprised. Pokémon games are definitely made on the cheap, but there's no way it could have been that cheap. I doubt that could have covered the budget for any Pokemon game since the DS era.

I really can't decide on what to do with my Switch OLED.

Switch 2 can run Switch games at higher framerates and sometimes higher resolutions - docked.

It can run Switch games at higher framerates but with worse image quality because its a 1080p screen in handheld. I thought Nintendo would let SW1 games run in their docked configurations when playing handheld, but nothing so far.

Switch 2 has no dpad handheld.

So I was thinking of keeping the OLED for 2D Switch games. But when I did the system transfer all my game key cards got switched to Switch 2.

And Im not really in the mood to switch game cards back and forth.

I thought there was a way to have all your games on two switches and have it check online to see if you're allowed to play a game?

I guess I would hold on to it for a bit, if I were you. However, the chance to sell for a decent price decreases every day. I think our Gamestop here in the states already offers a pitiful amount of cash for it.

Nintendo makes digital ownership way more difficult than it needs to be.

That's the other thing. Its a really great piece of technology compared to switch 1s original model. So I feel like the price you would get for it wouldn't be worth it.

But I find I just dont use my old consoles at all.

But the OLED still has that resolution and OLED benefit for 2d games over Switch 2.  For Switch 1 games.

Atari announced the Intellivision Sprint - A new mini console with 45 games, wireless controllers and overlays for each game. If the quality is as good as the 7800+, then I will be buying it. I always wanted an Intellivision, but I've never even seen one IRL, lol.

The intellivision Sprint is kind of tempting. The original television was such a rarity when I was a kid. I only knew one family in the neighborhood that owned one, and all the kids in that household were just fucking terrible. It wasn't worth enduring them to play donkey Kong over there.

I'm probably going to put it on a watch list and see if it drops just a little bit in price. $150 isn't bad, but it's a little more than I want to spend on a retro only system. But then again, those controllers look fantastic.

This weekend I hooked up my Sega Genesis 2 Mini and played some Rolling Thunder 2, Splatterhouse 2, Sonic CD, Super Street Fighter 2 and Sewer Shark.

Sewer Shark is a bad game, but like terrible old B-movies, it has it's charms; enough charm for me to beat three times back in the day. Man, does the Sega CD FMV look terrible on a 4K TV; barely playable even with the CRT filter.

I should give Night Trap a go later, lol.

This weekend I mostly played more Alan Wake 2. Played a little bit of Dragon Ball FighterZ. It’s crazy that they’re adding another character to the game. The roster is pretty huge for it.

This weekend has all been about Hades for me. I've been planning to play it for years now, now that the sequel got released I figured it was about time. And yeah, absolutely excellent.

Hello, the bad friend is here.

Started Arkham Asylum again, but not really getting much gaming time.

Big news for Aspro, I have Starlink so I know have 252-400 Mbps depedning on the time of day and 29 Mbs upload (and more importantly unlimited usage).

So this is going to change a fari bit of my theorethical gaming life (beaing able to buy Call of Duty again for example).  My mind has not yet adjusted to this reality, but I started out by buying the Batman Trilogy for $13 yesterday (something I would never have considered with a internet data cap).

Wow, that's some disclosure right there.

I cannot wait to get a Switch 2 to play this game.

What platform? Is it a good? (must be).

I just watched trailers on Steam, look amazing -- I have no first hand exp with th IP but is really compelling. Think Asura's Wrath x Soul Calibur?

Here's what I wrote earlier.I completed Super Mario Galaxy 2 and loved it. Its not as good as the first one. I guess I just love exploring on Rosalinas ship more and how grand everything feels. The biggest gripe that I have are the controls. Sometimes when things get hectic, I lose control of Mario and he just starts to run around in a circle on his own. I read that this has been an issue since the game was first released 15 years ago. So, why wasn't this fixed? Also, the pointer controls are kinda crap, especially when trying to grab something as Yoshi or pull yourself to a blue star. I couldn't find an option to change controls but it would have been nice to just click a button to highlight something to grab onto. I was using the Pro Controller 2 so maybe I can map that button to one in the back and see if that is easier. Fantastic game, still one for the ages. The controls just need to be tweaked.

Surely use split joycon? Did you recenter the gyro? There must be a button to do it.

Yeah, it’s really good. Does an amazing job emulating the tv show both in action and look. It’s on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch. Goes on sale frequently. Get the Ultimate Edition as it comes with all the dlc.
