The Shortcut:

"Any customer who was turned away at the Astoria location should reach out via DM so we can make it right."

This is where I live to. I stopped buying from GameStop long ago. I hardly if ever go into a BestBuy, Walmart, etc. I do most of my shopping online, I have my preorder direct from Nintendo, just need to wait for the email.

I wish I had the same confidence you have. I signed up on the 3rd of April a day before they delayed the initial preorders. It's a lottery so nothing is quareented. Also If a NSO N64 pad can hobble Nintendo's site what do you think a new platform will do.

I'd love to be wrong but after the BB website snafu and aforementioned Nintendo history I'm just not all that confident these days. 😆

PRIMORDUS28d ago

TBH, I'm still not commited to buying the Switch 2 even with my preorder notice, from Nintendo, which will be after May 8. I just feel indifferent about it now. 😁

No surprise. This happens at Gamestop with every console release. There is so much pressure from corporate so employees resort to extortion to make their metrics.

Imagine this stubborn nintendo-fan dev would release their games for pc, playstation and xbox and realizes how much power is there to use for the games instead of the ages old nintendo tech.

Interviewed him years ago and was surprised how much of a fanboy he is.

Poor 👶. Shame on the dev for continuing to do what works for them and not what some faceless armchair analyst thinks they should do. Apparently your interview had zero impact. Get serious. 🤣

Terry_B1d 3h ago

Aye, just like his games had and have no impact on my wallet, or on any gamers who do not want to buy a Nintendo console for a few exclusive games :-)

Gameshare is a nice feature! You can use Switch 1 to play this game using the power of Switch 2? Let's wait if the game will be stable using that feature.

These devs do really good work with lesser tech. It reminds me of the old days, where figuring out new ways around limitations was the real test of a devs creativity. That was when you saw amazing games on hardware you never though was capable of delivering.

And to add with $15 price point. Very cool.

Would love to see a proper physical release... like Fast RMX before it, but without the FOMO

I've Been Replaying Assassin's Creed Origins, And It's Reminded Me What Shadows Is Sorely Lacking

It took going back to a much older game to realise just how empty Assassin's Creed Shadows feels.

"I've never thought feudal Japan would be a good Assassin's Creed setting. Give me 1960s southern England with mods and rockers."

Aaaaaaand that's where I stopped reading.

Never read anything on that website.

I agree with the first part of their statement. Japan is so overused and it wasn't particularly interesting in Shadows. Now that it's been done, they can do something better.

Armaggedon21h ago

And shadows reminds me of something origins is lacking. Virtually every game is lacking something. It is because it is lacking, that it has what it isnt. Funny dichotomy that…

anast20h ago

Origins is a beautiful game made by talented people that got turned into a brutal level-gate fest by the CEOs.

There are only a few Assassin's Creed games I played. Original, The Ezio Collection, and what I think is probably the best in the series Assassin's Creed Odyssey with the DLC. I'm done with the series, it's the same shit.
