Also of note:

  1. They’re gonna drip feed news about the Switch 2 through a new mobile calendar app which I will probably download and install.
  2. There is a new game sharing program for lending out digital games to friends and family on the same family membership (via local wireless).

Macross games in a SRW for the first time since the Zs. Nature is healing.

Going to shoot for the moon and say the oddball licenses in this one are Optimus Prime and Star Wars.

I liked that recent Turtles beat 'em up so I’m down for this. Needs more X-Men though.

Looks like they didn’t include Monster Trivia, but it’s still a great collection. I will definitely play that Forbidden Forest remake.

Cosmi/Paul Norman is one of the best examples of a creator working totally free of existing “engines” and copycat mechanics. Too bad that doesn’t happen much today.

I wish Norman’s early 2000s personal Web site wasn’t impossible to find now even in an archived form. I remember it being somewhat bizarre.

I played a demo for this during one of the Next Fests and it seemed totally fine? Kinda chatty for that kind of game, maybe not as well-designed as a proper Souls game, but I didn’t have a bad time with it, kept it in my wishlist.

it’s telling that Nintendo took the time in a fucking direct to announce a bizarre and byzantine and uniquely Nintendo form of DRM that kinda sorta allows game borrowing but not and no one is talking about it because everyone got a game they could get hyped over and also it’s opt-in for users (which is probably even more insane than the scheme itself)

This is news to me so I’ll post it here: last year Hori released a Switch guitar peripheral and game that realistically teaches you how to play

What the heck, why didn’t this come out here - I want to learn to play with a funny peripheral!

This Japanese guitar YouTuber seems to approve of it for beginners too and then he messes with it on his amp and pedal after:

I mean, ok maybe a real guitar would be cheaper but I wanna learn on the funny plastic thing

I was going to try this but figured pirating rocksmith 2014 would be cheaper and result in the same thing (me giving up after a week)
