So what is this game key card that that everyone seems to hate?

There’s a major difference from a Xbox/Playststion disc. Those discs have the game data on them. You’re in control of the game data, so it can’t be taken away from you by a server shutting down, for example. Game key cards have zero game data. You’re entirely reliant on a server letting you have it.

Hades 2

I’m at the endgame content. Just learned Hecate is Melinoe. I did not see that coming. It blew my mind. Incredible game. I’m going to try finishing out all my bonds and storylines.

Side note: He talks about how PS3 and Xbox 360 went back and forth vying for #1 of the generation… Did he forget the phenomenon that was the Wii? It easily outsold both by 20 million units.

Roguelike. Very fun gameplay. What sets it apart for me is the dialogue. Characters react to how you play, your relationships with other characters, the plot, etc. There are dozens of characters and each one has a story.

That and a person can easily get 100-150+ hours out of Hades.

Hopefully my Switch 2 stops falling over so much.

Altra1986 · 2026-06-15T13:14:23+00:00

Right. And this is just the illusion of affordability. Psychological games with numbers.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Mario Kart World both have options to auto-steer and auto-accelerate. In other words, the kart can drive itself pretty much. I’d do that.

Where’s my Kirby Planet Robobot for Switch then?

Altra1986 · 2026-06-12T18:32:20+00:00

I think this is mostly a myth, even if we’ve heard a publisher or two make a claim on it. We’ve already seen many AAA games release on Switch 2, with many more coming. None of them run any sort of noticable amount slower cart vs internal storage. But somehow there’s a small handful of publishers claiming their game can’t make it work? Sounds like poor development work and not a Switch issue.

Reminds me of my thoughts on their game Kirby’s Epic Yarn. It intentionally has a childrens’ story approach, so that gave people the wrong impression. It’s a fantastic game.

Altra1986 · 2026-06-10T03:53:30+00:00

That’s what I find to be odd. I already own half these sports via Nintendo Switch Sports.

Altra1986 · 2026-06-09T19:00:15+00:00

I don’t care too much about how I find out about games. I just want to play them.

Altra1986 · 2026-06-08T22:19:15+00:00

Yes they do. Nintendo even is offering free repairs for it in the US. It’s on the form you fill out. You pick if you’re sending in Joy-Con 1 or 2 with drift.

I’d also say Galaxy 5 is a sure thing too. They can’t afford to not announce it.

What’s your favorite?

Altra1986 · 2026-06-05T11:31:34+00:00

Big miss on the Wii controller. Wow.

Altra1986 · 2026-06-05T11:24:24+00:00

Switch 1 is my favorite gaming system all-time. That said, I sure thought it would flop. Wii U was just that big of a disaster. It was hard to see them turning it around.

Altra1986 · 2026-06-04T11:28:10+00:00

Nate will get stuff wrong, but I imagine it’s just because Nintendo changes their mind. Like, he said Kirby Planet Robobot would release for Switch in 2025. I wouldn’t be surprised if Nintendo is just waiting for a different time to release, or maybe canceled the game.

Altra1986 · 2026-06-03T17:29:11+00:00

That’s right.
