I'm a fan of horror games and usually don't get scared of any of them, but I do was scared of playing Subnautica, first time went in spoilers free and at some point I was looking for resources and heard a very loud roar and in this moment I proceeded to close the game. Mostly because I have fear to the sea, but a few months ago tried it out again and could finish it, was so happy about it.

Good episode guys! I don't remember exactly which one was my first game that I was afraid to finish off because I was scared, maybe was either RE2 or Silent Hill from PS1, but I do know which one I didn't finish nowadays because of that, and it is Subnautica. Games' push my talassophobia really hard, not gonna lie I've always think of coming back and finish it, but the sensation of feeling that fear it just stressing me out pretty quick. About Echoes of Wisdom, glad Andrew enjoyed it but from what was his review I feel that they could make it better for what those series really deserved. Also, while Daniel talked about the game he played, came out to my mind Superhot too, very smart idea for a game to make it fun imo.

Hi guys, great to see you are coming back with the podcast! I'm agree with Andrew about TLOTR games on PS2, played them and remember that same feeling about it, those games were amazing and deserved being brought back at some point for new generations. As for F-Zero games, I don't remember they were as bad as you described but didn't play it enough so probably you are right. I personally think Silent Hill games are really awesome and deserved being brought back, every of them not just SH2, especially SH3 (my favourite) and SH4 The Room as for the theme of this episode c:

I agree completely. I did grow up with 2D gaming, but I agree not because of that. I agree that so called limitlessness is overwhelming. I prefer boundaries while allowing for creativity. I felt like that with Far Cry 3 & 4. You could come up with lots of creative things to do when infiltrating enemy bases, but it encouraged you to figure out the best method to handle it otherwise you would probably get yourself killed.

I don't expect it to have two screens. I don't expect it to fold. Those two features will increase the cost of the console. As we all know, Nintendo aims at operating in this sweet spot of being inexpensive and good. I think it's going to be extremely similar to the switch 1. With that being the case, they really need to focus on marketing it as not just a switch "pro"

I was not fan of how nintendo ended 3DS for switch. 3DS was better than switch. the size was perfect for handheld (switch is too big). it had more feature like mp3 player. It had NDS integration.

The 3DS's resolution was HORRIBLE though. And it was the WORST screen to play DS games on because of the irregular pixel shape to account for the 3D screen. Even on the 2DS models, they used this same screen, so all games ultimately come out blurry and weirdly scaled. Don't get me wrong, I love my 2 3DS's and my first 3DS that I lost -- but the DSi XL was the best console in the DS line up for screen quality and playing DS games as an adult. I am so glad I went back and bought a DSi to mod and play all the OG Pokémon games on. The Switch is a much more well-rounded system. Yes, it's bigger, but the screen alone (especially in my OLED model) far surpasses anything the 3DS could ever do.

i’m really hoping so. i would like nintendo and pokémon (gamefreak) to start recognizing that Gen Z, Millennials, and a small amount of Gen X have a kink for nostalgia, sales would skyrocket if they released older and classic remasters. Nintendo DS was so popular, and it didn’t matter if you were a boy or girl, everyone loved them. personally, i think if they don’t go in this direction, they are fucking themselves. it’s very possible because they would make an overwhelming amount of money, and i would like to think they know that already.

I love this concept. I have been banging this drum since I saw the showcase with 1/2 Switch. It never made sense that the dock couldn't be like the NES Classic. Just a little set top box that works like a Switch but without all the power. It could still play Gameboy, GBC, NES, SNES, and maybe even N64 games through NSO. Then when the switch connects to it, either physically or digitally, you get a power boost from the handheld, allowing you to play switch games on either screen, or DS/Wii U games with the TV and the Switch as your 2nd screen. Ugh why can't this already be a thing!

If the Switch 2 doesnt have undocked second screen possibility with the TV, I will be very disappointed. I want Nintendo Land back, actually, I want Nintendo Land 2, and I want the ports of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess with the possibility of play just like the WiiU, with map and inventory in my hands. This possibility makes me think that its because of that that these games were not released on the Switch 1, its because they want to show they will not need to remove these features they added on the WiiU, because it will work exactly like in the WiiU, with 2 screens.

I'm not quite understanding your request. Isn't the switch (and probably the switch 2) already the main console as well as the handheld?

right (sorry for not being clear initially!) - the Wii U was hampered by the handheld having to be within a certain proximity of the main device. with the Switch 2, i want it to transmit to the TV via the secondary device, so it can still retain its true portability.
