Pretty sure it was Super Mario Bros. 3.

That was back in the day when games didn't have much of a "launch day" it was basically the stores having a day they knew the game was shipping out, but when they got it was when they got it. I remember calling the local K-Mart, having to ask for the electronics section, getting transferred, asking if they had the game, then waiting for the cashier to go check the shelf to see if it was there.

Some cans enjoy it.

That's the beauty of tig bitties. Their impact is not only harmless, but actually quite soft and pleasant.

I'm just glad they retained the tig bitties and didn't update it for the "modern audience."

Just now, gamer.tv said:

Keep the tracks with Nintendo online, have 32 new ones and then some DLC as well. I’d imagine there would be full migration.

What you're describing is a pro-consumer move, and not Nintendo's MO.

My launch game predictions:

• Mario Kart 9 - they haven't made a new one since the Wii U, and MK8 is the best selling Switch title of all time. This one is a no brainer IMO.
• Mario Odyssey 2/new Mario 3D Platformer - First Odyssey came out a few months after the initial Switch launch. I'm betting we see the same with the Switch 2.
• Way more 3rd party AA/AAA support - You're about to see every 3rd Party PS4 game that couldn't run on the Switch 1, now release on the Switch 2. 

Everyone that is putting Prime 4 on your predictions lists, stop letting Nintendo disappoint you. 

Nintendo kinda fucked themselves with a potential Mario Kart 9 though. It would have to be pretty damn amazing to get players away from their 50+ tracks in MK8.

I really hope there's a lot of the game they're not showing us, because so far it looks like just more Dragon's Dogma.

Which I get it, that's not a bad thing. But as much as I loved DD, the environment was fucking dull. I was hoping for something a bit more visual appealing this time around. The monsters look great, though.

Does this mean we will finally be able to play Xenoblade Chronicles 2 at 30 fps?

sonuvabitch this game comes out tomorrow doesn't it....

EDIT: Review embargo? no review codes sent out?

Alan Wake II

Fatal Frame Maiden of Blackwater and Fatal Frame Mask of the Lunar Eclipse

The Chant

ReMothered Broken Porcelain and ReMothered Tormented Fathers

The Sinking City

Tormented Souls

that's not to say all those games are great... well, Alan Wake II is fucking incredible, but the others are okay. You can periodically get them on sale for practically nothing to it's a low risk situation. Well, except for the Fatal Frame games. I haven't seen them lower than $30 or so yet.

I'm down for this. That teaser trailer a few years back didn't do it any favors, cuz I saw DontNod and thought it was gonna be another Life Is Strange but in a different setting. 

This looks pretty rad though.

Well, the first game has been out since 2015 and is still going strong 9 years later in 2024 so it could have very long legs.

It sure could. Or it could get boring after a week. Guess we'll find out!

Jeezus, if they needed the form factor of the PS5 to keep that thing cool with the specs it currently has, what the fuck is the PS6 gonna look like? Do I need to make space in my garage?

I'm intrigued by this game, but I have two caveats. One, every single one of my gaming buddies (both of them) are on Xbox. Two, I'm curious what kind of legs this game has, no pun intended. Because it kind of just looks like horde mode.

Mickey and Goofy in Fortnite, then? Ha! Let’s go.

 

No Donald, though. That duck has enough PTSD.

On the contrary. I believe the inner rage that Donald holds inside would make him a demon on the battlefield.

Do you know how much money they made off of that content by getting a ton of eyeballs on it?!?!

So they're rich bitches.

There was a story?

I actually have Helldiver's, and I don't think I've ever actually played it.

What a bunch of bitches.

It's the absolutely quintessential Xbox 360/PS3 era game, and I COULDN'T BE MORE PLEASED THAT IT IS!

It is absolutely that. Complete with 50 shades of brown lol.

I do like it, but yeah it's a 360/PS3 era game thru and thru.

If the answer was no, he would have just said no.

Ys 9 is the only one I don't own yet. Is it any good? I played a tiny, tiny bit of it on Playstation Plus but I am waiting until I get through the others.

Trying to get my way through Ys I & II but this world design is bullshiiiiiiiiiiiit. I fuckin' hate door mazes, and that's like, the entirety of both games.

As an owner of all the consoles... and PC... and Steam Deck, it doesn't really bother me if MS releases their big exclusives on other platforms.

But... the idea of MS trending toward third party publishing does worry me a bit. I don't want to live in a time when Sony has no hardware competition. Nintendo just doesn't count. Nintendo hasn't been a go-to console since the SNES. And this comes from someone who bought a Gamecube before he bought a PS2 and Xbox.

Final Fantasy 14 Arrives On Xbox Later This Month With Free Open Beta

WWW.PUREXBOX.COM

---

All progress carries over to the full version - Yes, the time is almost upon us! Final Fantasy 14 officially arrives on Xb...

Aw goddamit....

Judging from the date on this topic creation, I'm averaging 5 games a month. That's not a good pace lol. If I want to do this in a year I have to do what, 8 or 9 a month? Work was pretty brutal in January and I didn't have a lot of time to play. And when I did, I was falling asleep in my chair after 15 or 20 minutes.

And now that all the big holiday sales are over, I should be done buying more games 

That was one of the best mediocre games I've played in a while lol. Cult status, indeed.
