Did anyone get this, I completely forgot about it, may have to check if some are still available, it's a shelf piece even if I never touch it.

You buy the bundle with the Switch 2 before prices go up again!

It came with my Switch 2 on an Amazon bundle when I heard tale of Nintendo pumping prices again. I wouldn't have bought the game alone, and honestly the bundle was an impulse buy. I share the rest of the world's disappointment at the decision to not include it with Galaxy 1 previously.

Finally, can answer this without pessimism!

Starfox and The Adventures of Elliott: The Millennium Tales. Starfox is 100% a preorder, Adventures of Elliot is 80% so far. Its hard to pay 60 for that kind of game, but its a pixelated Square ARPG, which check a lot of boxes when I'm making purchase decisions.

Amazon has Starfox on sale for 49.99 at the moment

PAC-MAN - who hasn't!?

Mendel Palace - As a kid I saw the advertisements and recall being sorely confused, was expecting more action and less Lolo, may be something I could appreciate now

Tower of Druaga - I have zero recollection of this title. Seems like there's an Anime for 20 years ago with the same name? Leads me to believe this one went hard in Japan but didn't translate well in the West. The cover art even looks Famicom-y

Starfox seemed like a surprise drop on a recent Nintendo Direct, and it's coming out June 25th. I don't think it's an entirely new game. It sounds like the old game with fully fleshed out voice overs, music and graphics. From what little I saw, I didn't recognize it as a remaster as the graphichs overhaul changed the look and feel that much. I'm pretty excited for this one and will preorder. Its on amazon right now for 49.99, if @BLUEVOODU would put up an affiliate link I'll be sure he gets the commission, although I could probably just click another of the links and search from there. I think it's a percentage of everything added to the cart within a day or so

kinda wish I didn't read the Rotten Tomatoes reviews.

Even the positive reviews are full of left-handed compliments akin to "good for what it is."

I know the internet hates on Disney and Disney has been throwing some slow underhanded pitches for the net nerds to swing at, but I really want to experience some of that star wars magic pre internet taint, then make my own judgment. In all fairness it is trailing Solo, which gives me almost no hope.

As much as I hate the concept, I've used it for tons of stuff, typically research. If I'm building something, comparing products, or just working a problem, AI has done a lot of the legwork for me. My home network project for example. I gave it square footage, budget, use cases and an explanation of existing infrastructure and it helped build the most cost-effective solution, in about 30 minutes. Granted, I could have done the same thing, but only after hours of pricing and compatibility searches.

I've been lead down some serious rabbit holes as well. If you bring it a vague concept it typically takes lots of time (sometimes trial and error) developing that concept into something viable. I've been working on a project I'm calling Household OS for two months and have started over 4 times. If anything, it's taught me how to "converse" with AI to get something that more closely resembles what I'm looking for.

I've tried Copilot, Gemini, and Chat GPT - all have their strengths and weaknesses. I can't say I recommend any more so than the other.

@BLUEVOODU Noritake - Once upon a time I tried keeping an eye out for china / dishware and while everyone ever has some grand story of finding awesome stuff, I'm lucky to find Chinet. I gave up years ago, well before there were a million youtubers that used to do well reselling now their business model is telling everyone else how to resell all the while destroying the market.

Look at that, two complaint, one post, completely off topic!

Yeah I think so! It's become much easier to get shiny Pokemon so rare titles are worth hunting for as well. Just the other day I got an Alolan Ninetales (it's fairy/snow instead of fire type) with the title "The Snow Frolicker" which is super appropriate.
