I didn't expect to wake up this morning to see a size comparison post from GG. Nyaa

Here's a lovely Asian Lady stroking it

The 3d printed Switch 2 model I mean.

Good video, it seems much larger than even the OLED. The joycons are bigger, the sticks and buttons are larger.

Think I tried the Emerald Beyond demo, but I'd have to check again. I didn't like the demo.

Are they mostly new stories with each game aside from the ones you mentioned?


I'm not sure what you mean when you say new stories. If you mean standalone stories, yes. None of the SaGa games connect to any others in the series.

One other thing worth mentioning is that in most of the games, you pick one starting main character, and then follow that character's game through the progression of the story. In most cases, each character has a very unique story paths, but may meet up with others and add them as supporting party members. SaGa frontier took it a step farther, and every character has their own unique storyline, that usually has nothing to do with the other characters whatsoever.

The one reason exception is Romancing SaGa 2. It's a much more linear game with one story. The story takes place over multiple generations, so the storyline basically gets passed from parent to child, etc. so while your characters will change, it'll be the same experience that every other player has.

Thanks, yes I meant standalone.

Got a few games recently

Raging Justice is a beat em up. Less than $3 on the eshop, 3 player.

Pretty fun arcade game, gives you a good move set.

The Visuals are the main draw here, it's like a modern version of back in the 16bit Era when devs were trying to do realistic models. It's like 2D Mortal Kombat done right. The animation almost gives a claymation effect.

Not difficult, it could use some voice acting and different font/colours as it looks like someone typed out the menus in Microsoft Paint.

Also bought Scourgebringer.

It's a 2D roguelike where you go in this structure and fight off alien beings. It's like $4. The little character with the white hair is you, the controls are super good. You can run up walls, flip about like a Ninja, bounce off walls, dash in midair, you can attack in midair, dash to another enemy and continue attacking in midair.

Also got Atelier Ryza 1, at £16ish

It looks like a more relaxed JRPG, has lovely music and excellent graphics.

Does anyone have any thoughts on Mafia 2? I've only played Mafia 3, and while I did like that it got extremely repetitive really quickly.

Been quite awhile since I played it back when it first came out on the 360 but do recall enjoying it. Haven’t played the third one so don’t really know how it compares. I have Mafia II Remake or remaster from PS Plus but haven’t tried it yet. Might be better playing that one though.

I'll probably hold off. The more I read about it, the more divisive the opinions of it seem. Some people are saying it's wonderful, some people say it's a relic, and other people say it's a buggy mess.

Ganryu 2 is really good.

The 4th level was kicking my ass, but the game is completely fair.

So the more you play the game is almost subtly training you to be the ultimate Ninja.

Then the impossible suddenly becomes 2nd nature and you're delivering precision strikes and bouncing off walls like a bad ass.

Get this game guys.

I completed Raging Justice, the final boss had you fighting a helicopter.

Like punching and kicking a helicopter.

I love the warped logic of retro arcade games.
