The original battle royale. My friend was addicted to this game as kids but I never enjoyed it because he always stomped me.
Back in the day, we'd play city trial in sandbox mode and drive all the vehicles we unlocked up on top of the floating platform. The achievement system was also great.

#153The real takeaway is $80 MSRP games, and I’m surprised it was Nintendo that crossed that particular Rubicon.

#154No new Zelda, no new Mario. I don't know what Nintendo is doing but I am not a hyped up for the Switch 2 as I thought I'd be.
Why would there be a new Zelda? There were two new games in the past two years. Yeah, it has been 8 years since the last new 3D Mario game.

The specs seems to exceed that of the Steam Deck. And that was barely selling at a profit for a while. I'm not really mad at the specs.
But no linux or steam

Haven't heard much complaints about the hardware. Seems like a good iterative evolution. even the $450 price point was somewhat expected. As always, it's the software pricing that makes everything absurd. They jumped straight to $80 in a mere 2-3 years for them after Tears of the Kingdom's $70. And Mario Kart hits further beyond with $90. I wonder how that will fare in this economy. Will consumers still take upon tha…
$90 if you buy it, $80 if you ~rent~ ehm I mean "acquire" a temporary digital license. my point being: due to the risks assumed (someone can click a button and rob the product from you), the rights lost (cannot exchange games with your cousin), and the general lack of consumer protections on digital rentals aka. licenses, I'm a firm believer that their price should be 20 to 50% of what a proper physical copy costs; s…

Sadly, Nintendo has made a reputation for itself as a copyright troll, most notoriously their legal takedowns of YouTube lets plays. As a result, I have boycotted Nintendo for over ten years now. While the new releases are tempting, Nintendo's recent legal actions aga…

Sorry, I meant in the context of desktop operating systems. Steam page says only Windows is supported. Not sure why Wikipedia says MacOS.

In the past month i was also considering to buy a Wii to play some games with friends, but i waited to see if the switch 2 could be worth it. Now i'm seriously considering the Wii.
You will never run out of games to play with a softmodded Wii plus a massive SD card. Make sure your Wii has the correct ports and get some Gamecube controllers too.
