Yeah, even the developers of the recent Bubsy collection don’t hide from it. They were on the Atari podcast recently and talked about how there’s good stuff in some of them. But Bubsy 3D apparently was really bad, but one of them says I think the Game Boy game is the worst Game Boy game ever.

This one looks fun, and the graphics are nice. It could be a nice 3D platformer.

They go from mediocre to psychologically damaging bad 😂

This looks amazing, and developed by Bitmap Bureau, can’t wait!

Great summary! I didn’t play the Game Cube one, so I have nothing to compare it to. But I really liked this, and it’s such a joy to see Sakurai present his games! He’s so authentic and passionate about games, it’s contagious.

One thought I had while watching this was “we’re never getting a new F-Zero game now” 😂

It feels like they have no idea about all their first party release dates, so they’re scrambling around trying to figure things out 😅 Hopefully we’ll get a Mario Direct in September for Super Mario Bros.'s 40th anniversary.

Also I should add it’s really exciting to have Sakurai back on the presentations! His Smash videos were amazing and I watched every single video he released on his channel.

Yeah, it’s weird that they developed 2 racing titles around the same time. But I’m expecting Air Riders to have more gameplay than just racing. Back to Forgotten Land being so close though. It’s just all very strange to me, we’ll see 🤷

Feels like weird timing. I don’t know if this is supposed to help sales of Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (Coming out August 28) or if it’s going to steal its thunder 🤔

I think I only played the first one back in the day and wasn’t impressed.

Felt like someone made a game to answer the question “what if we made Sonic but removed the stuff that makes it fun?”

I don’t even like Sonic games that much, so this explains why I didn’t like it 😅

It reminds me of the Gex collection, which got some praise. I remember playing Gex on the N64 and thinking the game was terrible, it was usually what you got when all the good games had already been rented. But some people will like them! And there’s always a nostalgia factor if you had them when growing up I guess.

I’ve been playing Cyberpunk 2077. It’s the one game I own that feels like it would definitely not work on the Switch 1. Donkey Kong Bananza and Mario Kart World are pretty looking and stuff, but they still don’t feel “next generation” as much as Cyberpunk does.

The game is really fun, though it has that thing from AAA games where there’s a lot of storytelling. Sometimes having long conversations in interactive cut-scenes bores me and I just want to play the game. Other than that, I’m having a really good time and I have to force myself not to play it during the week, otherwise I’ll go to bed at 3am 😅 (just like it happened with DK Bananza…).

I got the physical editions of Toaplan Arcade Collection Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. for Switch, so I’ll also be checking out those games during the weekend.

I love this art style too, and it looks amazing!

The original game was made from clay, and so is Platypus Reclayed. Reprogramming from scratch and updated with modern hardware, featuring all-new clay models and artwork photographed in 4k widescreen. Buckle up for updated gameplay, new weapons, bosses and content!

This must have taken ages, but the end result is well worth it!

Oh no, I’ll be very careful! 😅

Oh, I ordered that from the Crowd Supply campaign. They just shipped mine this week 😁

I’ll check this one out. People praise it a lot, and it’s so expensive to get to play it on original hardware… I need to see what the fuss is all about.
