What a time to be alive!

I'm very interested in buying that. I've shrugged off Grandia twice in the last year when I've seen it pop up locally as the deal wasn't better off than ebay and I was busy at the time. This though, knowing how the G2 remaster on GoG was handled and my love of the DC release years ago I'm well on board. This way I can plan in advance for when it arrives and it will have a few nice modern balancing tweaks to it G2 got I take it which will give it a smoother bit of play to it too.

so I had picked up NBA 2K18 on the cheap as I've been in the mood for a basketball game lately, and it popped in my head that I could use the character creator to make "Lucas Scott, #3" thus playing through the story mode and creating my own lost episodes of One Tree Hill which sounds hilariously awesome. But this was my first Switch game to have such a beefy install size. If I had known better, I would have set it to download/install as soon as I got home and before I did some work and had dinner and watched Jeopardy and cleaned up and everything. Turns out it was a 2.5 hr download! :0 Apparently, the extra stuff is like 16GB. I don't know if I could have sped it up any if I had my Switch dock wired to ethernet or not. I actually have really good internet, and a wonderfully strong signal (Google WiFi rules, y'all), and never have any issues with online gaming via wifi on the Switch. But damn. The game spent the night downloading and I had to find something else to do that didn't involve the Switch.

ALSO, Sega has announced that Phantasy Star will be one of the first Sega Ages titles launching in September... and one of the updates is an automap. You guys... Phantasy Star will have an in game auto map as you explore those first person dungeons!

Holy crap Grandia 1&2 and Phantasy Star!

Come on Power Stone 2 hd remaster...

A Hat In Time got an announcement for Switch too, which I'm happy about as I've been holding off on that one for now.

Here's hoping a Limited Run physical release is on the cards eventually too...

Saints Row 3 Switch soonish

I cannot even express how much I love the Phantasy Star games. I won't be getting this on Switch, but I'm stoked that other people will be exposed to the game/series.

Saints Row 3? Seriously? That was so much fun on PC. That might be worth picking up again if I can do it under $40.
