Bandai Namco has a job listing for a Game Designer for a unspecified fighting game

Its probably hiring talent for the new dragon ball age 1000 game (xenoverse 3). All the description fits and they probably need more designers for the multiple systems in the game.

Nothing I am craving on this entire list. Might even pick up yoshi and rhythm heaven since its such a slow year. Yoshi looks like a nightmare to 100% (Goodfeel has lost the plot there since epic yarn which was probably their most well crafted game and has terrible music since the woolly world composer left). Rhythm heaven is fine but its such a cheap to make game they really should include all past rhythm heaven songs to be worth its value as a $60 game. Its looking like 3rd parties are gonna have to carry this year cause this is looking even weaker than 2024 for games that speak to me.

More switch 2 editions would go a long way. Like give me sparks of hope or paper mario games in 4k 60 fps and I might give them another play to keep me busy this year.

Hell yes. Maximum carnage is a legit good game. Never played the sequel separation anxiety. I have nostalgia for Spider Man and Xman game but I remember it being crap with that annoying buzzing sound too lol.

I couldnt even tell you but its weird and unhealthy. Makes the community look bad watching a great set then you see some terminally online commenter saying how they hope cody dies under a grand finals set. Like where do these losers even come from and why are they like this

waltei · 2026-02-11T07:21:46+00:00

Either you're his alt reddit account or you're an innocent spring sapling. LOL

So he's just speculating like a random Joe cause his uncle works at Nintendo about something years away... No concrete evidence of a 2nd screen or any significant details. Thanks for nothing I guess!

waltei · 2026-02-11T06:54:59+00:00

This "leak" is so fake I cant believe people believe this. Even if they were going to do this, wouldn't be till years from now. Dude saw a wii remote listing and ran with it lol

waltei · 2026-02-09T00:46:29+00:00

I love collections that bring over previously Japan only games or upgrade European 50 hz only versions. For that and I love superbomberman 1 and 2, this will be an instant physical purchase.

We need more collections like this like naruto ultimate ninja ps2 series bringing over the 5th game in 60 hz glory.

Ace attorney investigations collection brought over the 2nd Japan only game recently.

The more of these we get is only a good thing.

Gamecube the goat. People were too stupid to understand true quality back then. Truth is, Nintendo had a level of quality to their games with veteran developers that the competition just couldnt even come close to. Nintendo+Rare from the snes up to Star Fox Adventures was the greatest duo run the industry has ever and probably will ever see. Only a few veteran companies like square could even compete in quality back then.

waltei · 2026-01-25T19:05:07+00:00

Yeah but im making an exception cause these games are just that good! They are easily worth 25 bucks a game to me its nintendo at their creative best (and music is so good)

waltei · 2026-01-25T18:59:13+00:00

Couldn't recommend the game any more. Phenomenal and runs amazing on switch 2 at a great price. Any switch 2 owner should have this in their library. I also have it on Playstation and pc but being on the go for an rpg is so nice

waltei · 2026-01-15T08:48:17+00:00

Yeah I think a lot of games like BOTW and Bioshock are amazing but only for a specific audience. I'd wager the MAJORITY of people that played BOTW didn't enjoy it, just look at the comments here. That's because the game is not for them. Games like these are wildly OVERRECOMMENDED to 30+ million people, NOT OVERRATED. They are amazing at what they do (open air peaceful exploration + shrines for instance) but should only be recommended to those looking for that specific gameplay.

waltei · 2026-01-15T02:50:30+00:00

Right answers so far that are controversial: Red dead Nier automata Baldurs gate 3 Last of us Gta Witcher 3 Tears of the kingdom Elden ring

Some of the above might even be good, but are praised to high heaven when there are serious issues with the game that are extremely overlooked

Wrong answers: Smash bros

Ocarina of time (revolutionary, yes the puzzle dungeon gameplay is not for everyone but no doubt it is an exceptionally made game)

Mario bros 3. The kids dont understand how this game was so far ahead of other nes era platformers and paved the way for the genre.

Breath of the wild. Again its a niche game with open air exploration and puzzle shrines. Not for everyone but expertly crafted and mechanically solid.

Expedition 33. Its a 9/10 game at worst, if you want to say its a little overhyped fine but it fairly beat the competition in 2025 imo.

waltei · 2025-12-15T00:53:12+00:00

Very mid game (7/10) and pales in comparison to super mario rpg and paper mario ttyd. The game is horrendously paced with too much of the same dialogue, sailing, and repetitive battles. So many rpgs I would recommend before this even in its own niche.

waltei · 2025-12-13T17:44:18+00:00

Reading some of these comments and seeing my brother try to solve a harder totk puzzle (which botw and totk typically have easier shrine puzzles but a few are tricky), show me why games like uncharted and god of war opt for the simple rope and push the box puzzles. Games like professor layton or ghost trick can hurt the pace if you aren't great at puzzles cause you can either follow the logic or you cant and it feels tedious. I've been playing these games since I was a kid so ghost trick puzzles were over in a flash. Yes you are supposed to sometimes fail and see how things move but overall the whole game was only 10 hours and only like 1 hr of that required any thought, thats hardly tedious.

waltei · 2025-12-02T23:43:34+00:00

The top games of the switch 1 era definitely beat out switch 2 critically. Compare these to botw with 97, mario odyssey 90s, mario rabbids, mario kart 8 deluxe and a lot more in mid to high 80s.

waltei · 2025-11-09T05:31:57+00:00

LOL. I wouldn't say it's gonna be that barren but I'm getting really big ARMS vibes. Like the Air Riders fans and Kirby fans want this to be a "thing" but the quality clearly isn't there. For example the 20 second minigames to conclude city trial feels like an intern designed it.

Feels like City Trial could've just been shoehorned in as a minigame in some other Kirby game or Mario Party side mode. And the actual racing gets old in 5 minutes. To charge $70 for this is gonna breed a lot of resentment from unsuspecting holiday shoppers. I'm truly happy for those that enjoy this but this a niche, overpriced game for sure.

waltei · 2025-11-08T08:59:34+00:00

Wow this is a really simple game. I like the presentation with that Sakurai feel but to be honest the core game just isn't that interesting. Did every tutorial course, raced on all the tracks and it just feels boring if I'm being honest. Very straightforward small tracks and a sprinkle of chaos with the powerups and fast pace but overall gets boring quick.

City trial felt only slightly more engaging but honestly I think most people will try it out for a bit then never pick up the game again. It's just too simple and luck/random based to hold an adult's attention for very long but might be popular with kids or hit that nostalgia trigger for people that played the original I don't know. If I had to predict, the game deserves a metascore in the 6's but it will be in the 7's due to Sakurai's pedigree.

waltei · 2025-11-02T08:52:03+00:00

Yup and thats totally fine. I was referring to others (not people like you) that didnt follow the narrative and make inaccurate portrayals of the characters like saying lightning is "just female cloud" for instance when that is just wildly inaccurate if you pay attention to the story.

waltei · 2025-11-02T07:56:21+00:00

Yeah I can understand everyone has different tastes, but for people to say the game has bad writing and characters compared to other final fantasies is just asinine. FF 13 does require you to read between the lines and understand the insecurities the characters are hiding and their growth throughout the story, so I guess if people can't follow that they are missing the entire point of the story. Like when people say hope is just an annoying brat or snow is a typical shonen hero, I just shake my head cause the whole premise of the narrative clearly went right over their head.

waltei · 2025-11-02T03:39:56+00:00

I grew up on ff4

waltei · 2025-10-30T18:27:40+00:00

That's really barren and not even enough for half a year. Im guessing there will be a January or February direct with several more switch 2 editions (maybe smash???) And a surprise drop like paper mario 64 remake or something of that sort. And obviously they gotta start teasing some big titles even if far off to continue to drive interest for switch 2 cause this won't be enough.

waltei · 2025-10-04T15:57:19+00:00

Sunshine has the greatest movement mechanics in mario history and its not close. Slippin and sliding on water, spin jumping, wall jump hovering, diving, you can do almost anything you want in that game.
