Yeah, for individual suscribers it’s kinda underwhelming. For a multiplayer-focused family play group that DO play together though... giving that DLC for free to up to 8 players at once all part of a same group could definitely be useful.

I’m not getting the expansion yet myself, but I’m definitely keeping an eye out…

I’ve wondered if the Animal Crossing DLC might not also be a soft promotion of family plan too for the expansion.

Like... it’s one thing if it’s a plan that provide “free” DLC to existing game. Because that’s kind of cheap/underwhelming compared to the “one new free game, every months” services of other…

Honestly it depends. Like... it’s almost a cliche that there’s plenty of subscription services people will pay for only the one thing that caught their attention.... then make almost never any use of.

And that’s the thing there’ll be some of those people, who’re not online on these websites, that will indeed pay that…

The thing is re: inflated price might be onto something about the Genesis. A source had apparently mentionned that Sega had to be paid “quite handsomely” to make Genesis titles available at all because Sega had a bad experience with the sales of these titles on past virtual consoles it sounded like.

Also, coming from someone who kept expecting Family Plan to be removed at some point because it felt “too good” that you could have up to eight users on there with so many benefits...

The fact they included a DLC for *Animal Crossing* on there, the one game people kept playing online to connect with friends/etc during…

I dunno, I hear the biggest costs to Nintendo might have specifically been from licensing issues with the Sega/Genesis games due to how Sega was apparently soured from experiences with past Virtual console sales and the like(most everything N64 is first party titles, so I have difficulties imagining license costs…

plus if you pay more for the family plan, EVERYusers(up to eight) on your plan will get access to these N64 games AND the DLC. FreeDLC for one person is a thing, but for up to eight? We’re talking possible gamechanger.

With more multiplayer games DLCs added in the future, I could see multiplayer groups of friends…

Myself I wonder(though no more than wonder. I don’t want to be disapointed) if the deal is that crossplay could already have been planned.... but for the expansion.
The PC release of the game is coming months and months after the initial release on Switch.
However the actual expansion will be a *simultaneous* release on…

Honestly?

Because it’s easier for me to browse through a physical collection of games to keep track of what I’ve finished and what I haven’t yet than it is to do the same with an immaterial collection of games.

Weirdly enough I have a easier time making decisions on “what the heck do I even feel like playing?” when…

This, honestly.

The amount of people going “you ‘only’ need to do it X amount of time”.... make me really uneasy, no matter whatever is the in-game context.

Honestly this. Sometimes avoiding spoiler can be good but more often than not being “spoiled” on content is what allowed me to decide if I’d actually want to sit through it to see the ending of a thing.

Okay sure they reskinned.
But they used the very exact mechanic twist, and couldn’t even bother to even create an original map layout as they even copied that.

Like a ripoff of a Mario level is still a ripoff even when it’s given a different coat of paint and that’s what they did there at the very least.

You seem to have focused solely on the Namco thing and completely missed the important part in the end of their comment:

“Fortnite isn’t stealing Among Us using elements from Mafia, they’re stealing exact mechanics developed from Among Us. That’s the problem. Not all 2D mascot platformers have stolen from Mario, but a…

Or big enough to do it without repercussion. They apparently didn’t just rip-off Among Us’ specific twist on the Mafia/Werewolf formula... they were apparently uncreative enough to even copy the map layout from the base Among Us map.

Okay, sure it’s game mechanics. Even the fact they have literally taken the VERY twist Among Us was introducing to the formula(being able to complete assignements that are their own minigame thing iirc, ontop of the game being real time rather than a turn-based “point finger at Werewolf/Peasant” that ends when one…

Honestly I got (and I think those were inspirations?) Zelda and Secret of Mana/Evermore vibes from it myself, particularly in previous trailers showing a bit of gameplay.

Still love how upbeat the music was in the original announcement trailer last year <.<

Honestly I feel the same about Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon. Though tbh I’m more looking forward to getting Eastward next month. I’ve been hyped for that thing since it’s first reveal last year.

I still watch the original announcement trailer sometimes because the music in it feels so upbeat <.<

Pretty tempted by Axiom Verge but just got the physical trilogy collection of Blaster Master so my Metroidvania front is plenty filled already thus I’ll likely look forward to next month and Eastward myself.

It’s very much my personally most anticipated indie game of Since When It Got Announced Years Ago.

Still is, tbh. I love the visual they managed with that pixel art. I don’t know if it’s due to palette, a soft blur(?) effect they’re using over those pixels(unlike the more common hard-edged flat pixels) or just skilled…

Mostly likely to make it easier to maintain your battery without too much cable hassles(since the cable would be most likely tiddily connected to the sedentary dock rather than having separate HDMI *and* power cord both connecting directly into the console).

In other words, “keeping things tidy in a living room setup”…
