I'm looking forward to Last Ronin 3 too, but I'll have to wait until the hardback is out to keep my collection consistent 😬
I don't remember reading anything from Rosenberg, but I have seen Cabal's art and I think we're in for a treat!

    This footage of the unreleased Nintendo 64 game Conker's Quest was distributed by Nintendo of America in advance of the 1997 Electronic Entertainment Expo.

    Conker's Quest (later known as Twelve Tales: Conker 64) was eventually canceled and reworked into a new adult-rated title, Conker's Bad Fur Day. This videotape, donated to us by E3 1997 attendee Anthony Parisi, contains some of the only existing direct-feed footage of the game in action.

    We digitized this video via RF capture as part of our celebration of the history of E3. Read more: https://gamehistory.org/e3-history/

    It says somewhere in the review, the main story takes about 10 hours, but there's lots of replayability!

    Regarding text chat, it'd be cool to be able to send a text message I guess. Like invite someone to a game! But all of the Online seems weird. In some games you need a PhD to figure out how to set up a game with a friend!

    Loved the game, finally understanding why people care so much about the series. Hoping for a new entry in the series now!

    I finished the main story in Denshattack! and replayed a few more tracks to get better achievements. It's a really fun original game!

    During the week I played Mario Kart online with two different friends. One of them also has a Switch 2, so we played Mario Kart World and we tried out Game Chat for the first time. It's kind of convenient, you can talk through bluetooth headphones with your Switch 2 and don't need to have your phone around. I guess other consoles and PC have had this forever, but still convenient. Will be fun in different games if we use a camera (definitely for Star Fox with the AR features!). I also played Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. I really like that game, been playing it since the Wii U and I still think I prefer it over World... No idea what I'll be playing during the weekend!

    I agree. There are so many amazing fan games that could potentially succeed using original IP. These projects probably can't get any funding, since they're using existing IP. The moment you make money off of it, that's when trouble begins. I've paid for Azure Striker Gunvolt, Gravity Circuit, Berserk Boy, 20XX and 30XX. I would definitely pay for another well done game inspired by Mega Man 😁

    A free update is available now in Mario Tennis Fever on the Nintendo Switch 2 system.

    Play on the brand-new Galaxy Court, use the Black Hole Racket to pull in opponents, and choose new color options for Luma. Plus, in the new Galaxy Court Match in Mix-It-Up mode, Prankster Comets can trigger various effects that can help you…or hinder you! GameShare via GameChat support has also been added! Share the tennis fun online with friends near and far who don't have the game.

    I played a few more runs of Star Fox looking to get more medals. The last one was a run on the hard path and got medals on every stage but Venom. I'll probably keep playing this on and off for some time. I'll also continue to play Denshattack! for reviewing.

    Specifically today I played Tetris 99 enough to get the Star Fox theme 😬

    Nice! 🎉

    There are different objectives in some stages, some of them you'll realize are for branching. You might already know this but just in Corneria, there are two routes. If you go through all the archways on the water when Falco says something like "Those make a good obstacle course", he'll guide you through the waterfall on the right. Otherwise you keep going straight.
