Sealed games are unhinged in the same way that AES are. Show me how they have FF7 priced!

Yeah, it sucks. I’m sure they can get new people cheaper. 😑

As a live sound engineer for 20+ years, (no longer full time since Covid), I’m not worried. There’s so much about what I do that a computer cannot do.

Also the concert industry is *vicious*. One major fuckup by an AI tool and everyone will drop it. TBH I am not even sure how an AI tool could do it.

Woah! Excited this is getting a physical!

Best Buy actually had the most organized and stable experience for me. Based on how it went I don’t think they oversold.

Yeah that’s what I have and TBH I have such a massive backlog I potentially see never upgrading past this.

Eh, gaming isn’t their main market anymore. I doubt they care.

Me too man.

Totally feel you. I’m assuming you’ve played Hollow Knight/Ori/Axiom?

Also, La Mulana 2! (Assuming you’ve played it but just wanted to throw it in).

Environmental Station Alpha, Noita, and seconding Outer Wilds and Tunic!

I bet it’s $70 and/or a dual title between Switch and Switch 2, so they don’t want anyone to feel locked in.

Who wants to bet someone was lazy and AI-grabbed video sources.

I believe I am local to you sir! DM me with what you might be thinking of moving!

Ooooooo. I’m still rocking the original but have been eyeing up the mini for a while!

I have a Miyoo Mini Plus and it really gets it done for something to just throw in my bag that I don’t feel like I need to be OCD about. I just don’t want to bring my Switch or Pocket some places.

That said, I don’t use the overlays 🤡

I am working through Earthbound on it, and it’s been great.

This wins.

I love them! I don’t currently have one though.

HEP! HUP! EYAHHH! 😜

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, no contest!

I have the new PB on order from the gear store. Excited!

Don’t get me wrong, I love the series, and love OOT, but they’re far from perfect games.

I mean heck, even WW, one of my favorites has some tedious stuff. It’s sort of baked into all 3D Zelda titles (and some 2D) other than BotW/TotK.

Some of them yes, not all.

They can keep making 2D games in this engine. I won’t mind at alllllll.

OOT and TP, I’m looking at you here.

*overworld

Interesting, definitely overworked for me. Some of the dungeons were so, so tedious. Enemies respawn the second you hit a door; having to go back and forth and back and forth across it.

I mean, there were definitely some great ones, but IMO there were a lot of not great ones as well.

Echoes of Wisdom. I knew it would be good, I didn’t expect it to hit me like it did!

They shouldn’t for a repair, that’s really to cover the fact that they’re doing a pass-through on stock storage/processing/shipping to a third party.
