Some of my favorite reveals from Nintendo Direct today:

Glad to see the Mario & Luigi Series back. Metroid Prime 4 is finally here so fans can now shut up about it not coming out.

I did not. I never got around to buying them either.

No worries. Grab these games when they're on a sale. If you have to pick one, then Z2 is best option. It's a $29.99 for digital. The physical copies go cheaper than that sometimes.

The title of the video didn't display clearly with the thumbnail and I thought it said, "A Quiet Place: Road Head."

Hey it might very well lead to that somehow. Imagine the tension, not being able to make a sound in a situation such as that. Could make for a thrilling, chilling, spilling good time!

People are also commenting on the MvC collection not coming to Xbox

I think this might have something to do with Sony and Disney owning Marvel stuff?

In the movie the wife was pregnant so i assume they were quiet fucking somehow.

Life By You, the forthcoming The Sims competitor, has been cancelled. The 24 people studio Paradox Tectonic that was in charge of it has been closed down.

They said "A version that we’d be satisfied with is too far away ", which reminds me of the time they cancelled Runemaster which was cancelled because they couldn't make it fun, after having spent a lot of time developing it.

Since I used to be something of a Paradox fanboy I want to tell a bit more about the studio in regards to recent releases: they are both a developer and a publisher and have published titles such as Cities Skylines and Pillars of Eternity. One of the titles they published in the past was Magicka from Arrowhead, a co-op game with a humorous tone. They apparently owned the licence, since Magicka 2 was developed by Pieces Interactive. I don't know how well the two Magicka titles sold, but if the amount of reviews on Steam is any indication the Magicka 2 sales were probably significantly lower. Meanwhile, Arrowhead went on and developed other games, most significantly Helldivers 2, which has turned into one of the surprise hits of this year.

In other news, Pieces Interactive closed down yesterday. And one of the previous big names at Paradox, Shams Jorjani, joined Arrowhead as CEO about a month ago.

It looks to me like Paradox is going through a rough patch, releases being cancelled and talented employees leaving for greener pastures.

omg that new Zelda game looks dope. I don't think that's a sentiment I've expressed since the 1990s.

 

[BrawlMan]

There's more! Apparently there'll be a Capcom vs SNK collection in the future.

You know, I am excited about Dragon Quest 3 getting remade with their HD2D stuff, but this is a joke


Doesn't even come with a sound track

Collector's Editions have been a scam for a while now. Especially since more and more don't even come with the game.

Thank you and your welcome. I've been saying this a long while back. Took you long enough to come around. It's even bigger problem when the scalpers come in and do 50% up charge on a collector's edition with no game.

Metroid Prime for its finally here so fans can now shut up about it not coming out.

Never! Since it's got a 2025 release, they can now ***** endlessly about whether to preorder for Switch, or wait for announcement of a Switch successor release

They better buy this game, since they've been bitching about wanting it for decades.

Oh, buying is not the issue. Which version is. Preorder Switch version yesterday, or wait for the announcement of the Switch 2 version and preorder that.

This is a very serious decision, dammit!

 

[BrawlMan]

Suck it up, buttercup. Pre-order don't; there is no in-between.

In today "this is why we can't have nice thing" some vultures are suing Valve/steam for controlling PC game price, their reason that people selling trough steam can't sell lower on other platform (true in text, but in practice they can always discount them, see free EGS game that also are on steam). Obviously this is just a bunch of jackass (scientific name: Lawyer) who are hoping valve chose to settle out of court because its cheaper that way.

Valve faces an $838M UK lawsuit that accuses Steam of overcharging consumers and monopolizing prices | Massively Overpowered

That stipulation being there, even if there are murky workarounds, in itself is not a "nice thing". So even if the entity suing over it might not be doing it for the best of reasons, they are still highlighting a valid criticism.

There's also this bit:

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Romance Details Revealed, Including Confirmation That All Companions Will be Pansexual - IGN

Yes, you will be able to romance any companion regardless of your character's gender in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the game's director confirms — and yes, there will be nudity: "It gets pretty spicy."

www.ign.com

Before anyone jumps on the typical "anti-woke" hate train, allowed me to remind you that BG3 offered the same thing, and it got to win the GOTY. Of course it wasn't the only unique thing about BG3, but neither is it here.

Okay so minus the addition of actual boobs and dongs and vaginas, they're returning to the DragonAge 2 template of party fucking? You all remember that right? Aside from the DLC character Sebastian - that very few people liked - it was possible for Hawke of any gender to romance any party member aside from their living sibling or Varric "Bullshit Artist" Tethras. I believe the joke was they were all Hawkesexual.

If they have the party members also be into eachother it'll even out. Like how in Baldur's Gate 3 if you turn down Lae'zel she'll be like 'Oh, you're turning down 'this'?! Well fuck you then, I'm shacking up with Astarion.'
