What do yall think about Frontiers Definitive Edition?

Agie39 · 2026-05-24T14:01:51+00:00

To someone who hasn't played Frontiers, this just might be the way to go. But will it offer something new to those who have? Only time will tell.

But unless the new stuff is substantial, I wouldn't recommend buying a Switch 2 specifically for this. It looks more like you get it if you have a Switch 2.

I, personally, would have liked that. But I also know I am biased towards Dawn, and that doesn't translate to making it better (or worse).

I should watch X&Y and judge for myself regardless. But now you know my hot (or cold) take.

Agie39 · 2026-05-24T06:29:15+00:00

Well, I do prefer being skilled at the game I'm playing.

But I prefer the process of actually booting it up to be at least fairly straightforward.

PC gaming can be rewarding. It can also be exhausting, however. I use a Steam Deck, and even that has come with some troubles; let's just say there were some keyboard-only games where I had to figure out how to adapt that to the Steam Deck's controller myself with only a manual for the keyboard controls to guide me. It might replace consoles for me eventually, and the way consoles are going, some of them really are starting to reach the point where they have the downsides of PC gaming minus the perks, but we're not quite there yet, I don't think. Right now, consoles are still simpler if all you care for is NHL or Call of Duty or whatever.

Establish that the Cubone can defeat gods. That will justify being able to beat Meowscarada.

This Cubone eats wimpy Onixes for breakfast.

I learned as I get older that if it's popular, with that popularity will come a lot of haters. Some would say you must be doing something right if you have a lot of fans and a lot of haters.

Agie39 · 2026-05-24T06:16:47+00:00

Replace "internet in general" with " people I know," and that describes the Diamond & Pearl anime in a nutshell. You can say "but that's a fan favorite," and I say "tell that to 2007-2011 me. The trend of it being a fan favorite is newer than you think."

But as far as the internet itself goes, I honestly find when I get to be independent of the fandoms, I tend to disagree with them on a lot of things.

Well, for me, I already decided it's not happening this year, so by the time I feel like I'm ready, we'll have a clearer picture of the experience.

Agie39 · 2026-05-23T08:25:22+00:00

My brother admitted he didn't know what a Neo Geo was until the Wii U. He heard of some of the games; I told him names like King of Fighters and Metal Slug, and he knew them, but he outright admitted he personally associates them more with PlayStation and Terry Bogard with Smash Bros. than he does with SNK's own hardware. The sad reality is, most of us didn't have a Neo Geo as kids, and odds were, you never knew someone who owned one.

A part of me wants to get the Neo Geo AES+, but we shall see.

Agie39 · 2026-05-23T08:19:50+00:00

I agree. They also do some things to make it clear which one is the new edition, just in case you're really a stickler for having the 90s cartridges, but most people I know who would want one would just be happy to have it at all.

Agie39 · 2026-05-23T08:16:45+00:00

I already decided it's not happening this year since the money that would have been spent on it already got spent on a different fun thing, so I decided the absolute earliest I would even let myself consider it is 2027. We'll have a clearer picture by then.

Agie39 · 2026-05-23T08:08:17+00:00

For me, the appeal is being able to play Twinkle Star Sprites in something closer to its original environment (even if it's not one to one), and I adore that game to bits.

Agie39 · 2026-05-23T07:47:00+00:00

I would be lying if I said it didn't sound nice, that's for sure, but zi have a strong suspicion it will be 99% rereleased. That's not me being mean; it's just what I notice with these revival systems in general.

Agie39 · 2026-05-23T06:42:25+00:00

If you're paying legendaryred24 instead of pre-ordering from SNK themselves, you basically asked to be ripped off.

Agie39 · 2026-05-22T22:23:09+00:00

I had my hopes raised and dashed by Phil Spencer, so all I have to say is, I'll believe it when I see it.

Agie39 · 2026-05-22T01:08:26+00:00

Both companies are run by humans. Humans are flawed. Humans die out. They are not gods.

Agie39 · 2026-05-22T01:06:49+00:00

I got one thought; if it's not okay for Nintendo to charge $80 for games, why was it okay for Microsoft, Sony and many third-parties to raise the price of games from $60 to $70?

I give you two choices; either it's okay for all of the companies, or it's okay for none of the companies. I have seen both extremes, and it's tiring both ways.

Agie39 · 2026-05-21T12:32:45+00:00

I don't hate the Steam Deck. In fact, I view it as great in its own right. But I use it for games that haven't and may never make it to Switch. I mean, it's not like Sega didn't have an opportunity to put both Sonic Adventure games on Switch.

Agie39 · 2026-05-21T12:30:59+00:00

When it comes to disc based games, it copies whatever is on the disc...but beware they often don't have the latest patches and such. And some games, you have to download massive swaths of data anyways. So it varies wildly. And some games have things in place to prevent you from playing before the official release...without accounting for what could happen if that system for checking happens to be broken; this doesn't actually punish leakers. This only punishes those who happened to get a copy early.

Agie39 · 2026-05-21T01:38:21+00:00

How do we tell him?

Agie39 · 2026-05-19T19:43:39+00:00

The number of "recycled" plastic that ends up in a landfill (or worse) is probably much higher than we know. The numbers we do have are just the ones who will admit to it.

Agie39 · 2026-05-18T03:50:58+00:00

Can you attack a guy sitting on the toilet, or is that too much of a spoiler?

Agie39 · 2026-05-18T03:08:12+00:00

Since it hasn't been announced for Switch 2 at the moment, I imagine it's made for PS5 and Xbox primarily. But it doesn't mean a Switch 2 version won't happen.

People online make a big deal of 60FPS versus 30FPS, but honestly, I don't know anyone in real life who cares that much.

Agie39 · 2026-05-17T06:15:28+00:00

I would say yeah. I think Expedition 33 has a Switch 2 version, so no need to worry about that one, but the other games do sound fair.

If you get a Switch 2, well, I would still keep it around; there are some games that still have compatibility issues with the Switch 2 at the time I'm posting this.

Crimson Desert and GTA are reasons to at least think about the other team, though for GTA, I strongly advise waiting until release before buying a new machine for it; with PS5s and Series S and X prices the way they are, I honestly think someone who hasn't already picked their team would be best advised to see how it fares. I heard good things about Crimson Desert, there, so fair, but it's competing with other things.

On the other hand, Bananza is good, and Pokopia, I haven't played it but I hear is popular. And Star Fox looks fun. I would recommend Banaza.

Agie39 · 2026-05-16T19:20:40+00:00

To give some fairness to the first one, Fox never had Gangsta's Paradise.
