Microsoft doesn’t expect anyone to pay $80. They expect people to sub to Game Pass instead.

Crazy that this wasn’t included in today’s showcase.

Really wish this were multi platform. I love the series but I’m not about to pay jacked-up PS5 console prices.

We’re racing towards the Blackwall from Cyberpunk 2077…

+1. Been using Boost since Jeroba went through rough times. I’ve really enjoyed it, especially the handy feature that lets me filter all posts containing specific words.

What else is he gonna say, “We’ll be churning out some real turds”? He’s the dude in charge. Of course he’s going to hype it.

I mean, this is just Cassette Beasts, and it is indeed a damn good game.

With cross-play across all platforms, you and your friends can squad up no matter where you play — no Microsoft account required.

However, signing in with a Microsoft account unlocks full cross-platform functionality. It enables cross-progression, so your Campaign and multiplayer progress carries across devices. It also allows you to send invites and play with friends across platforms — like Xbox to PlayStation or Steam to Xbox.

Honestly, this is the way to handle the incorporation of platform-specific accounts; totally optional, but actually gives you a sensible benefit if you choose to go that route. Sony could learn a lot here.

N++

Undoubtedly the best, most complete 2D platformer I’ve ever played. Super tight controls and incredible level design, coupled with an episode-long timer mechanic that you can influence makes this one absolutely unmatched. Sure, games like Celeste are flashier, but nothing is a better game than N++. I think I put something like 120 hours into this to get the platinum on PS4. I would happily start over and play the whole thing from scratch again.

It’s being rolled out in waves over the next week or so.

I haven’t seen the banner and don’t have the feature yet. Should be there by May 6th(ish), IIRC.

Sorry, I’m not totally following here.

What is Guest mode, exactly? Esp if not just a containerized session that clears all cookies, history, and personal data when closed.

Good movie, horrible timing.

Is Guest mode different from Private Browsing?

The country literally voted for insanity and derangement rather than the status quo. Like, I don’t even know what to do.

Holy shit. That is some high praise across those reviews.

Looking like this will be a mega win for Game Pass. Can’t wait to play it tomorrow.

Who is going to actually pay for all this AI junk once all the investors decide it’s time to stop “disrupting the market and gaining share” and time to start charging people what it actually costs to run (plus margins)?

Like, I use ChatGPT and Copilot and shit because it’s free, but if it were $5/month I’d happily walk away.

Still gonna skip this and hope for a 3DS-like price drop around the holidays. I’m really hoping Nintendo misses their sales targets big time because fuck these prices.

Yes, this is what tariffs do.

So basically $450+ to play Nintendo IP games at a current-gen caliber level.

This pricing just sucks. Unless you’re a Mario Kart or DK fanboy, you’re probably better off with PS5 or XSX.

For real. EA spent north of $10M on streamer sponsorships for the Apex Legends launch and that was like 7 years ago.
