Comment on Dear Nintendo, please bring back the Wii Remote in ~games

They'll have a shitty print run, though, because some exec insisted the next console had to be called the Switch 2-II: Switch 2 Da New Console!. When pressed, the exec tells media "a bad name really worked out well for the Switch after the Wii U". They never get around to porting Radiant Dawn, causing used copies to skyrocket to $500.
This is my plan to afford the Switch 2. Thanks, Nintendo.
(Not joking about the VC, hopefully joking about the price. Probably not.)

Seriously though, I hope it's integrated well but it just does not feel like Metroid at all to me with a big hub of some sort. I didn't like the disjointed nature of Corruption, but I guess we'll see.

Comment on Looking for some video game suggestions based off some specific parameters in ~games
Lapbunny LinkA lot of my favorite games tend to be the opposite of this, but I do love high skill level arcadey stuff based on score, time attack, high skill ceiling, etc. A few random suggestions:...A lot of my favorite games tend to be the opposite of this, but I do love high skill level arcadey stuff based on score, time attack, high skill ceiling, etc. A few random suggestions:
-
Archipelago: Take games, randomize everything in them, and do it across multiple games, or players, and to your level of customization. Infinitely replayable. Most of the mods skip story entirely. Check the list and see if any of the games catch your fancy!
-
First-person shooters: There are many skill-based single player experiences like surf maps in CS that may do you well. Specifically I'd love to call Neon White out - it's a level-based time attack game where your guns have a "discard" function, eg handguns let you do an extra jump. VERY skippable story. (Some people recommend doing so!) And the Machine Girl soundtrack fucks, as a bonus.
-
Light gun shooters: Point Blank and Time Crisis 2 or 3 may do you well as some examples?
-
Rhythm games: Someone already mentioned osu, but Bemani games like DDR, SDVX, and IIDX extremely skill-heavy and have a long, steep hill if you want to climb em.

There's something extra there; maybe because devs were emphasizing the gravity of you failing to keep the tension high, or to add replay value? I find it super fuckin fascinating.

All love from a like at-best Silver player back in Season 2 who probably would also rank Iron now, but, yes. Skill in any mid to high level team matchmaking game is less about being "good" and more about not making glaring, repeated errors to be exploited. Which If there's a meta reason something like this only works because play isn't going as expected - poor map awareness, low income from missed last hits, overextending (probably your success here with an aggressive support), bad rotation, whatever - then better players won't give you those opportunities to snowball a champion who wouldn't otherwise snowball or have the income to make it work.
That said, if the build capitalizes on bad play, and your opponents regularly give you bad play, exploit the shit out of it. Just expect a ton of similar morons pushing back in champ select because you're not following pro strats in Iron or Bronze...

But I was playing it by myself, while everyone in the house was asleep, on my CRT for the first time, in my basement, after midnight...
For anyone that doesn't handle horror well, I'd very much recommend the original version instead of REmake. (Deadly Silence is a good port!) The gameplay is still fantastic, and even though it's still a tense experience the B-movie cheese cuts a bit through the horror.

Still, they were often extremely well-produced and a joy to read anyway when you were limited to like an hourish of video game time a day as a kid... It was like getting to explore the world away from it. I presume a lot of kids who got into Starcraft late got it from the War Chest, which was bundled with both guide for the original and Brood War, plus a cute reference graphic with the tree of upgrades to obtain each unit. I've also got the Ocarina of Time guide lying around somewhere, which is chock full of blown-up prints of Yusuke Nakano's gorgeous character art - where low-poly fails, key art fills in the blanks for your imagination.
I say it a lot, but there's magic between the scanlines. Sometimes art shouldn't just speak for itself.

NV's music selection is really curated well to the setting, so it's hard to nail the feel as opposed to FO3 where you can just throw random good 40s-50s stuff into a playlist. But a good radio mod really enhanced my enjoyment of wandering around in 3. (If you are interested, it seems like if you can get MO2 running on the Steam Deck, you can use MO2 on Windows to test the mod setup and then port the profile folder over to your Steam Deck's NV directory, which will load it. )
Granted, I never got sick of mock-singing THHHERE WASSS NNNEEVVVERRRRRR A MAAAANNN LLLIKE MMMYY JJJOHNNNNYYYYY over and over. To the point my autocorrect knows what I'm trying to do. But, uh, I get it.

Racing Lagoon is at the top of my list and I have an OG Xbox sitting around for Steel Battalion that came with JSRF, so color me interested. Gotta rep Aria, but even that was a hard choice.
Pity vote for RE because I could always happily replay it.
EDIT: Oh, and I've been wanting to play every single one of those PS1 games. Lovely curation.
