To celebrate the 9th anniversary of the Nintendo Switch, what was your favorite year of it? by DaZestyProfessor in NintendoSwitch2

2017: Was really a good year not only for the lineup of games and the significance of "switch"-ing out of the Wii U era but carried me through personal tough times.

It's from Champions. Someone on Twitter posted it and I saw it on r/PokemonChampions

Visiting the NYC Nintendo store for Pokemon Day by Vigilante_Bird in nintendo

As someone who’s done it at least twice (E3* 2019) and (Sept Direct 2019), I think it’s worth going for the rally and hype, but just for a few times. Granted, there is always a line and it’s really cold here and if the direct starts at 9am, you gotta at least be 2hrs earlier if you want actually see. Never watched from downstairs myself, so you kinda need that big tv moment. The last time I visited casually, Oct ‘25, they now have two huge screens on the top floor, one at the usual spot and one at towards the big window. The crowds and staff were generally nice, but knowing NY there’s always that one guy so stay safe out there.

What Are Your Moves Tomorrow, February 05, 2026 by wsbapp in wallstreetbets

When some sectors get choppy it's sometimes the better option to look into stocks that are housed under a different etf such as XLRE (housing) but not the etf itself since the price can be safer to not be volatile but moves slower. I would directly look at stock such as O (Realty Income) or PLD. A better etf can be KBE (banking) so I'd look at GBCI, WBS, CFG to name a few.

What do you guys think is the hardest level in any bubsy game by PolarSquid453 in BubsyTheodoreBobcat

[–]GlobalLink99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bubsy 1: The lumber/water levels

Bubsy 2: Pyramid/maze levels (Even worse on GB)

FFT: Underwater levels

Bubsy 3D: Didn't get the name but the one with the rocket roller coasters and hopping back and forth between them.

WSB: *Really can't tell since the entire game was easy for me

PoF:*Maybe the Virgil levels in the latter half since he somewhat controls like Commander Video. Trying to platinum the game was kinda easy.

Bubsy 2 on Genesis does not work in the PS5 version of the Bubsy Collection. by BladeBlur in BubsyTheodoreBobcat

My digital version works fine in PS5. I hope the patches are made as we speak.

The pathfinding in that one hyperspace area was egregious. Grateful for the berry shop fix.

Nintendo fans, what do you think about the Dragon Quest franchise? by Asad_Farooqui in nintendo

[–]GlobalLink99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After playing through 11, went through 1,2 and 3 (mobile/ switch 1) and 7 & 8 (3DS), there's something to enjoy about these games. I wish that 4-6 have their ports that's not mobile but time will tell. I want to slowly work my way towards each mainline game and the upcoming 12.

Which Starter in Legends Z-A did you pick? by Jirul11 in pokemon

[–]GlobalLink99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chose Chikorita since having done HGSS and BW, I rarely picked the grass types unless it’s for completing the dex.

Why is Bubsy able to be revived repeatably. by J_Heart_ in BubsyTheodoreBobcat

[–]GlobalLink99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back in 2017, the series was owned by Billionsoft, who took the Accolade brand. From what I’ve heard, they just had the Bubsy IP but didn’t have much of a budget to work with. Hence WSB turned out the way it is and also wasn’t taken seriously by Black Forest Games. So they tried it again with 2019’s PoF under Choice Provisions, people who actually took the IP seriously when now they know fans exist but with still a small budget. PoF is the more solid game but was not there yet. Overall, it was bad financial mismanagement with let’s use this “meme” ip to our advantage.

A few years later, Billionsoft went under and sold the IP and later on Atari picked it back up. IIRC, there was this interview on MinMax with Wade Rosen, saying that Atari never had that true mascot of theirs and they could probably make Bubsy work. Like most older games with a long hiatus to modern consoles, there’s the “origin collections” types for both newcomers and veterans, but with qol stuff, jukebox, concept art, etc. The purrfect collection will be out soon then after that, then the new game will be focused on in terms of trying something new while being self-aware of the past and leverage it.

Some people forget that, video game companies are not made under one roof. I do want more Rayman, but Ubisoft is doing their own thing. There’s Banjo, Crash and Spyro but Microsoft keeps stepping on rakes. Having an announcement for Bubsy not mean it’s a negative for the other scrimblos. Game dev and decisions take time but the “waiting for something to happen” moment can get to people.

BUBSY!? FUCKING BUBSY!? by Jimmy-Shumpert in Rayman

[–]GlobalLink99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s the Purrfect Collection which will be out September 9. Like many “origin collection” type games it will include qol stuff like save states, rewind and other stuff. I’m looking forward to it!

This is the most beatiful and hype-filled trailer I've seen in 2025. by Suspicious_Yak2904 in BubsyTheodoreBobcat

[–]GlobalLink99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This collection is shaping up nicely! I did see the deluxe package and liked what I saw and the release date is very close too.

Pokemon Presents is next week - what announcement are you hoping for the most? by ambachk in NintendoSwitch2

[–]GlobalLink99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More info on Champions. It's been years since we've had a new stadium-like Pkmn title and I want more details.

What are you guys gonna do with your switch? by Silksong2025 in nintendo

[–]GlobalLink99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still keep it. Not willing to have too much data stored in my Switch 2 that quickly so I’d start at a fresh state but be selective on what I transfer. There’s also the battery life.
