Was gonna pick up Super Hot until I read that the campaign can ben beaten in 3 hours.

$25 for a 3 hour campaign and some challenges is way too steep for me.

Serial Cleaner for 1.50€ (90% off!) is a pretty tempting double dip as I never played on PC and it looks like a game I would much sooner play portable hmm.

Is the Switch version of Risk of Rain ok? I really like the look of 2, and kind of want to try the first one

In other news, Streets of Rage 4 was just officially confirmed for Switch (like that was ever in doubt).

I have no shame in admitting I'm a big softie when it comes to games with even a slightly emotional angle to them, as long as it's executed well. I'll have the tissues on standby. lol

To be honest I wasn't really planning on buying any of these to begin with. I've already played them elsewhere and don't have any great desire to revisit. Though I probably would have grabbed the Hotline Miami collection if it was cheaper.

Yeah, it's great, although the reliance on shoulder buttons makes my hands hurt like no other game when I play handheld. Maybe something to keep in mind, but it's otherwise a perfectly good port, and the game is really really fun.

There's only about exactly one month of summer left by pretty much any definition right? So hopefully 2 is out pretty soon, never expected console ports while it's in early access but I've really wanted to play it for awhile, psyched for it.

I was all set to not buy anything more this month but In the end I caved in on SUPERHOT, after buying it on Xbox and Oculus Quest at full price, but since I was triple-dipping I've grabbed it from the RUS eShop for €6,50 instead of €25... I think it's fair. And I did it today since other titles had their prices raised on the RUS eShop after a couple weeksThanks Arturo for letting me know!

To be fair you should look at it like you do STGs/arcade games. There's quite a bit of (awesome) content to replay over and over

When do games usually unlock if not midnight?

I want my Yu-Gi-Oh and Nintendo says it's not time to duel yet.

Far: Lone Sails looks great. I really like that sub-sub-genre of micromanaging a very small space.

I'm really excited for this release. I haven't played a YGO video game since WC 2011 on the DS.

not live eShop yet that I can find but Square-Enix just announced FFVIII Remastered will be releasing on September 3rd for $19.99

it's already live for pre-purchase on Xbox & PSN so I'd assume it'll show up on eShop soon(ish)

Thanks for this, and RIP.

The interface definitely doesn't seem up to stuff, but I really like the mechanics and the focus. You have 100 missions to get as far as you can. It seems like the game rapidly expands to where doing a perfect clear of any level is super damn difficult, so you claw away at progress chunk by chunk. Lots and lots of upgrades to improve your guys and their successors.

Huh, I only knew The Swindle by name but that sounds excellent, I'll probably get it this week. Not that I'm starved of roguelikes; my current obsession is Slay the Spire and its wild how good it is.

Now that Hotline Miami is on switch the only indie game I need to never touch my vita again is Spelunky.

Looks like the original tweet that article is based on was mistrandlated... Here's a correction

These digital versions are completely separate things instead of the latter being the "premium" one. One has the arcade games and the other the console ones :l

What the fuck?

That pricing model is absolutely ridiculous.

Holy fuck, Taito. How did they manage to screw this up too?

That's still much cheaper than the physical Special Edition but it's a very weird and expensive purchase model.

Man, September is stupidly packed. I'm interested in seven games (and I'm not even counting Astral Chain because it's an August release). I hope the indie games (River City Girls, Creature in the well and Blasphemous) perform well despite the competition.
