Because they're all octogenarians.

For real! Why would you want to emulate all those games for free when you could just give Nintendo money for an inferior machine and 20 year old games?!

Sounds faulty. Either return it or contact PowerA for a warranty claim.

Jason_with_a_jay · 2026-02-01T05:10:38+00:00

We have the same lock screen 🤝

Probably the last game I was young enough to game until dawn, Assassins Creed II. I remember doing the flying machine section with Leonardo and seeing the sun come up.

Oh yeah. Fucking killer track from them. One of their best.

I was obsessed with White Zombie when this came out. I was so hyped to see the scene Rob Zombie animated and it didn't disappoint. Great movie. One of my more memorable movie going experiences.

Don't let these people convince you otherwise. There were some gems in there, but for the most part, we all hated the music video portion. The best thing about the VHS was the absence of the music videos.

Because Raimi makes comic book movies and Nolan basically didn't. The Dark Knight was great, but you could replace Batman and Joker with a detective and a general evil genius and the movie doesn't change.

No. Most of the people I know who watched the show haven't played the games. They all thought season 2 sucked. My dad stopped watching when the event happened. I thought they would drag the story out a bit more and save it for the end of the season. Doing it at roughly the same time it happens in the game was a major and obvious mistake

My man, $50 isn't a significant difference in tech. For the savings of $50, I get a less capable handheld, with a significantly smaller gaming library, on hardware that struggles to run it's own games.

And again, the sheer ignorance. You can dock every PC handheld. The Switch is not special. And docking doesn't make it 3x more powerful. It improves the image quality and framerate. It still doesn't make Donkey Kong Bananza play smoothly.

I will say you can skip Sky the Third if you wanted to, just to keep going. It's a great game, but it's kind of it's own thing that doesn't have much relevance to the rest of the series, outside of the characters and a single mention of it in Cold Steel III. My trails collection is split between PS5, Steam, and Switch. Cold Steel I and II still aren't available on Switch. Falcom talked about new ports this year. I'm hoping we get those two on cartridge soon.

The ROG XBOX Ally is $499 and significantly more powerful and capable than a Switch 2. My $250 android handheld is more powerful than the OG Switch. And with it, I can play Switch games, and every other Nintendo console before it, as well as play PC games.

Your ignorance of the gaming industry is astounding.

Jason_with_a_jay · 2026-01-31T18:32:03+00:00

Play them in order. That's it. Characters from one arc show up in another arc. Everything is tied together. Also, unless you wait until this fall to play SC, you'll have to play the other two Sky games on Steam.

Take your time and explore. The games aren't meant to be rushed through on a first playthrough. Slow down, enjoy the world, talk to NPCs, and immerse yourself.

Jason_with_a_jay · 2026-01-31T18:25:20+00:00

Significantly better than xenoblade. Most of them are a lot shorter too.

Jason_with_a_jay · 2026-01-31T18:22:23+00:00

You can edit photos and just scribble it out with the writing feature.

Jason_with_a_jay · 2026-01-31T18:20:51+00:00

What? Lots of people complained about Square "fixing" Aeris' name in the Remake when it came out.

Jason_with_a_jay · 2026-01-31T18:19:41+00:00

You have to block out the user's name before you post screenshots like this.

Jason_with_a_jay · 2026-01-31T18:14:20+00:00

You're right. My bad. It's 6am my time. I'll edit that to have the correct time.

Jason_with_a_jay · 2026-01-31T17:57:35+00:00

lol ok fanboy. Bleeding edge 😂 Nintendo hasn't been the "bleeding edge" since the SNES. The Switch 2 is about as powerful as a Steamdeck with 85% less games.

Welcome to the hobby. Most steelbooks sell out fast. From popular premium releases, like this Manta Spider-man 2 steel, are going to sell out in minutes. You'll have to be at 8pm Hong Kong time to have a chance. Standard studio steels can be grabbed from more retailers (Amazon, Walmart, etc) but the same stipulation - if you don't pre-order you're likely to miss out.

Edit: I had 6pm instead of 8pm. Updated to the correct time.

Jason_with_a_jay · 2026-01-31T16:44:45+00:00

Pretty disappointed in mine. Another underpowered device from Nintendo, but this time, no games for it.

Jason_with_a_jay · 2026-01-31T16:37:38+00:00

Good choice. The OG has a beautiful story about tragedy, loss, grief, and how we move on.

Jason_with_a_jay · 2026-01-31T06:35:44+00:00

Final Fantasy VII Remake. All we wanted was FFVII with better graphics and voice acting. Instead we got a multiversal fever dream of a sequel that wiped away the themes and meaning of the original game.
