What's the Pirate Software fiasco?

Yeah, you can have only one primary PS5, you can also have a primary PS4 in addition to it, but that's it.

Nothing new about it. This is how it has been since PS4 days at least. Maybe even PS3, but I was a single user then so never had a reason to check.

I think I saw them mention winter 2025, so shouldn't slip to next year, but could be incorrect messaging, with meaning this fiscal year. Let's see.

I was putting Hyrule Warriors in September too, but as picandocodigo mentioned above it has "winter" release date.

So could be an empty September or we may get Metroid Prime. Since we don't have any info about Air Riders, I don't think it can be a September release. But I agree, in my mind Metroid seems like their big game for December.

Just curious, but does this coming to Xbox Series X/S means people can play it on ALL the Xboxes? Like the Rog Ally, The Meta Quest etc. As much as that branding is confusing, if this is true, then that's pretty cool.

3 months with no games:

• September
• November
• December

And 3 games announced for 2025, but no actual date:

• Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
• Kirby Air Riders
• Metroid Prime 4: Beyond

Which one will go for which month?

It's just a start of generation. You can always wait a few years to see if it's worth getting the console.

This is not just for Xbox, 9000 layoffs are against whole MS. Xbox just got hit heavier than anyone else.

Saw some article about how MS has planned to invest about $80B in infrastructure for AI stuff, do they are cutting any expense they can.

Didn't read the article in detail. Too tired of this now.

TotK definitely improves upon everything in BotW, but that doesn't mean BotW isn't a masterpiece on it's own.

doomcanoe has explained it well, I think for you, BotW is the way to go.

Though, just to be clear, you can't go wrong with either option. It's like choosing between two of my favourite ice cream flavours and I can only have one. 😀

Yeah, DK Bananza is my day-1 buy, but I was hoping for the next 3D Mario this year or next.

It's available for Switch 1, unless you don't have a Switch, then yeah, better to buy Switch 2 then 1.

As far as PC / Steam prices go, there is no comparison, and not just for Switch, no console compete with them.

No idea about that, but same rules apply, so if you both have 0 balance, try changing and the account and see. Worse case scenario you will have to change region for two accounts instead of one.

If you are getting game code, instead of gift cards, then this should be fine. It would still be better to have a separate JP account for logistics though, or in case Nintendo changes something in the future.

For gift cards, oji has explained the issue below. You get card for $10 and the game is of $9.99 so you are left with $0.01 and then can't change your region.

Yeah, an island or something, maybe 5-6 years from now.

According to the article they haven't announced what the Switch 2 upgrade will have, just that there will be an update.

Also, Happy Cake Day!

Oh, I have only played MK 8 before this, and haven't played World much, so haven't noticed anything yet, but that doesn't sound great for long time players. Hope they add more tracks, but I am not sure how common DLC tracks in MK are.

I have only played one grand prix (and that too locally), so I can't say if World or 8 is better, but DK Spaceport is probably one of the most interesting track I have played.

I have only played it once though, so am not sure if it was the nostalgia hit or if the track is actually good but its still pretty unique.

I tried Destiny 2 when it was free on PS+, the base version or something, and loved the gunplay. The feel and handling of guns and shooting was really good, but the story part was pretty confusing, so didn't continue playing.

Well, The Mummy Demastered is a small game, so may end up playing it anyway.

About Momodora, looked it up on Wikipedia, and Reverie Under the Moon is the perquel, but the Moonlit Farewell is the final game in the series and is sequel to the third game. Should I play rest of them too? I think I started the first one long time ago.
