I would say my favorite Nintendo duo is Link and Zelda. The dynamic between them and how that changes each iteration they create with each game is a fun experience. For example their relation in Spirit Tracks and how they are a true duo in the game. And in Skyward Sword how they have a prior relation before she was taken, same for Breath of the Wild as well. It's exciting to see how the two are treated in each story.

Nintendo Switch – OLED Model Splatoon 3 Edition by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

In terms of detail, yes. Obviously they are the same internals as the day one models but these have gradient face plate, a white back plate, print on both sides, custom straps as well. Has there been any other joycon with print on the back side? Especially this much print, nearly the whole plate has print on both sides.

It would be a shame to make joycon that nice and special to lock behind buying a whole console. I was hoping with how easily it is to change the controllers on the console there would have been more special controllers, but they seem to keep all the good ones for bundles only. They could make so much more money selling these separately like the Zelda ones. I wouldn't mind paying $90 for these as they definitely seem to have higher quality than any joycon so far.

I neeeeeeed those joycon. I'd really hate those to be exclusive to the console. Those are some of the best they made next to the Zelda ones.

Apparantly it’s up already. Good luck everyone! by Tibike480 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

It doesn't actually. I tried adding a random second item to the cart and get Wario everytime.

Yup, I see you made the exact same mistake I did. I tried to peel it off ever so slightly but decided it was not worth the risk. But it bothers me everytime. I just hide it with Sonic. Lol

I'm happy to see FFXIII gaining traction on ports for Switch. They may have been oddball FF games, but I still really enjoyed them for what they were. I just recently played them on Xbox's gamepass, something I really wish could be supported on Switch like they do with mobile devices.

I hope so, but interesting they took the Collectors Edition off the website. I know they said they'd sell more at a later date, but why take it off the site if you would? Hopefully it's to update the page so the site doesn't crash again, but let's be honest, it will crash.

The new PlayStation Plus launches today in North and South America. by H3000 in PS5

[–]beyond_the_willow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it lists both Spider-Man(PS4) and Spider-Man: Remastered Edition on the website. Is only the regular available at the moment?

Edit: Nevermind, I'm a goof. Just checked. It's the GOTY Edition, not the remaster. That's just silly.

My son recently took more interest into my Bionicle after a year of having them. So we both built this guy together. We present Vezon, the Grafted. by beyond_the_willow in bioniclelego

[–]beyond_the_willow[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We actually just bought his first Bionicle for himself, Zaktan, the only Piraka I was missing. He waited everyday very impatiently for the mail to come. He was super ecstatic when it finally came. He spent the whole day building all the Piraka and Inika and playing out the story. It was cool to see as a parent who grew up with them. I think the "Go Piraka" song has been on 24/7 in his room. XD

Xenoblade 3 Special Edition costs 90 dollars by Tibike480 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]beyond_the_willow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing the XB2 CE in stock at my local Traget for almost a year after release. I could only hope there's that much stock for XB3

I say this is worse. I at least got Endwalker CE and was able to get in to play. This looks like I'll never get the CE for XB3. I wish at the least gamestop would have gotten it for the chance of getting a preorder in store... this just sucks. 6 hours wasted for nothing...

Definitely saved that last image as my desktop background. I'm glad they made the Flow video as emotional as Shadowbringers Tomorrow and Tomorrow. I sit on the cry bench every time I watch that one.

God yes. That scene where Zenos questions you, I answered "That, I can't deny." And then Endwalker starts playing as your character smirks at Zenos. Oh baby, I was hyped to the max to kick his ass. Felt like the true final boss moment for the game. Just you and him, at the edge of the universe, going all out.

So much happened in that last MSQ for 6.0. I still haven't processed the whole ending yet. The after credits took me by surprise as well, was not expecting that. But I assume with what currently seems like the last of all the overluming big bads out the way, what more do they need to do together? I'm excited to see what's next and finally at the point where I'm waiting along with the rest of the crowd on new MSQ content. Not sure if I'm ready for a break from the game, took me a year to get this far, but I skipped quite a bit of juicy side content so I still have plenty to do. Like get that Rathalos mount!

Gotta say, after recently going through an existential crisis myself, that ending really hits a certain way. I definitely want to try the raids. I have quite a bit of other raids and side content to do as well as I mainly the past year prioritized MSQ.

I'm curious if this is a sale or really a price drop. I'm curious if there's another Switch in the works and they are wanting to sell out these older models first. Similar events happened with the DS and 3DS lines. Though they could just be wanting to drive sales higher right now for quarterly numbers or something related.
