The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

I'd call Little Kitty, Big City the better game on a macro scale (the fact that Stray pulls a WALL-E by turning into a game that's more about the "people" than the cat made it feel like a bait and switch), but I missed the polish that Stray has. Its cat is a lot less janky to control, has actually good IK, doesn't clip through stuff nearly as much, etc. Made me wish the two dev teams had just merged and made a single game.

Well so far we haven't got the kitty hurt yet. We are kind of trapped in the slums at the moment.

Missed Best Buy’s preorder window. Probably sold out in minutes. Guess it’s time for the dice roll for the reminder of the year…

I'm in no rush, taxes or not. I'll wait until there's at least a few MUST HAVE games that won't be available on the old Switch. Might even wait to see if they make a smaller/more handheld version, I love the size of the Switch Lite.

Outside of the new Mario Kart, there's nothing I've seen that says 'buy me' that isn't available on the PC or on the OG switch. I can wait.(Can't justify $400+ for a single game)

Personally, I kind of want to try to wait until the inevitable mid-generation refresh that they'll probably release. Because every gaming company is putting out some sort of upgraded version of their machine a few years into it's life-cycle.

Like the song says, never buy a modern gaming console at launch.

(Man...the Ouya...that brings me back. You could probably put the Stadia in it's place, though even that's probably faded from people's memories by now.)

I had a relatively painless preorder in person at GameStop. Didn't even have to show up too early. I was there about 45 minutes before opening and was 19th in line. The only thing I missed out on was the Pro Controller, but as of the time of this post, Target still has some available, so I grabbed one there. I grabbed the Mario Kart bundle as well as Street Fighter. Also preordered Capcom Fighting Collection 2 while I was at it.
