I'm a big fan of the dog chilling on the couch the entire video :) Also trophies/achievements on Nintendo consoles would be awesome! I would start collecting them immediately! I would love straight up remasters of ds era pokemon games, not even remakes just the exact same game on switch, thats the dream

Good idea for a vid. Game I’ve dropped : death stranding, starfield, destiny, any of the assassins creed games. When it stops being fun and become a a chore… I drop and don’t feel bad about it.

If the Switch 2 lets me send a friends request to KingdomHeartsBoy, thats all i need. I really can't ask for much more than you have here! Give me friends lists, good shopping music, personality, achivements and im happy. My bigger vision is that I wish Nintendo would split their handheld and console lines again. The Switch did well as a mix but i think we've lost the true spirit of handheld gaming and those types of smaller more experimental games as a result. What im saying is, we have to go back...

I am really hoping that Nintendo will give us Wii and 3DS features on the Switch Successor like Streetpass, Streetpass Mii plaza and all those Wii channels. It would be amazing if they did.😊

THEY NEED TO GIVE US FREAKING STAR FOX ALREADY!!!!!! Starfox Starlink was great, but the humans really weirded me out!

Yeah as great as the switch is they need to improve a lot on the back end. The online gaming needs a complete redo.

Pipe Dream games? Definitely a Sega Dreamcast and Gamecube Online Service.

Honestly any switch that has more ooompf than the current one is all I need, but I would like switch online to include the GameCube or may as well just remaster/port over more cube games like they did with sunshine.

Before people roast me in the comments. I understand that you can create a Username/Nickname with your Nintendo account. As I understand it today, though, you can't search for that ID when trying to add new friends (unless they are "local" to you). My intent with that first console feature idea is simplifying Usernames to be more in line with Gamertags/PSN IDs. Please understand 😅

1:01:55 saved by the bell. 😁

This was a great video. Loved hearing your thoughts on each game. I, too, dropped Sekiro. Twice. 😂 Also, Ni no Kuni II is amazing ❤

Ni no kuni was such a chore to get through because i despise the battle mechanics too but the art and story was beautiful so i forced myself to finish it. Ive stayed away from the 2nd one but if it plays different like you mentioned maybe i shouid give it a shot! Also DNF breath of the wild too...

My take on Breath of the Wild, and any game one is having a hard time picking back up: if you need to convince yourself to do so, then it’s not important to you now; play something else. My experience with BotW is that every shrine blended itself into repetition over and over again in order to even have enough stamina and heart; and my excuse was that I was going to have fun once I prepared myself enough; and it became this massive shore of boredom, for me… I dropped it before the fight with Ganon. It is a great game; it has great mechanics; the story is awesome, but this experience is not The Legend of Zelda for me.

i miss those era ps2 ps1 big ass tvs😀 so nostalgic

I’m glad I’m not the only one to quit after the raging bull in sakiro 😂 I was punished to the point of no return to the game.

Great video! I was absolutely heartbroken when I heard the news. I fully agree that it was such a special feeling getting the new issue in the mail. I have ALL my old issues still boxed up at my parents house and I’m looking forward to getting those out and reminiscing. This is very sad but thank you for focusing on the positive highlights of GI!

I recently completed Tamarin, one of many games I've been inspired to pick up because of your podcast 😀 I enjoyed it for the most part but because of the lack of a map, i wont be returning to it. The game did really take me by surprise though! I did not expect guns 😂 Another game ive been playing is Eastward. I'm not far from the end and ive really enjoyed the story. The gameplay is fairly basic and it is a little dialogue heavy but the music & story more than make up for that 😀 Next up will be Dragon Quest XI! My second DQ game and I'm so excited to get into it! Did you ever go back to it?

There's three games left from this year's lineup that I'm definitely getting. Those being TLoZ: Echoes of Wisdom, DQ III and Mario & Luigi Brothership! I'll have to wait until my birthday in December to get into DQ as my missus is buying it for me but I'll 100% be getting into Brothership day one 😀 The Mario & Luigi series is up there with my favourites of all time so to have a new game after all this time is a dream come true! I need to make sure I play & beat Paper Jam before the new one releases, as I'm yet to experience that one.

The big one for me is Final Fantasy VII. I originally bought the game on PS3 and didnt get very far. I bought it again on Switch years later hoping that it would grab me the second time around and got out of Midgar but soon after I dropped it again. I really dont know why but I just can't seem to commit to it 😅 I've never really liked the look of PS1 games but I am by no means a graphics snob! Maybe I should just go for the remake when I eventually get a PS5 and the full release is out 🤔 Great video as always Rusty! Pokémon Sun was the worst IMO! Too many tutorials 🤦‍♀️

You won the question of the week!! That’s so awesome! Game Informer was definitely in my gaming magazine rotation back in the day. Love that site and was listened to the podcast the entire run. Hopefully the industry picks up these awesome journalists. Great trip down memory lane, Rusty!

I remember getting these in high school with the GTA V cover getting me so hyped for the game. Sad it’s gone but happy it happened.

Also Scooby so bummed he just had to sleep away the pain

I have a fondness for the magazine for sure but even bigger of a bummer is just what GIs end means in the big picture. Sad to see one of the last holdouts of the 2000s era gaming going away. That was time when the industry was figuring itself out, podcasts were just coming to be, YT was either non-existent or early days, and game releases all had this kind of unique enthusiasm and excitement. The era of the midnight launch and E3 live shows and early digital storefronts. The modern era of gaming has so much to love, but no denying I'll miss those earlier times.. and I'm thankful for GI being a part of it and along with me for that time. I'm glad they held out as long as they did, they certainly can be proud of their legacy

End of an era

I so remember!😁

Hit the thumbs up peeps! Thanks for watching!!! Scooby appreciates it too!👍🥰

What a way to wake up to get a notification a new Rusty video dropped! I have so many memories with GameInformer, Official Playstation Magazine and Nintendo Power and it is just a sad time knowing gaming magazines are becoming a thing of the past. Great video as always Rusty!

Cuz you need to finish BOTW. That's the game that jump started me to get back into gaming. If you just do the main story/missions it doesnt take that long but knowing you you'll want to do all the side missions as well. Lol. I would finish BOTW before playing TOTK because of the story.

Great pickups there Rusty! I borrowed Sonic Frontiers from my brother in February and to my surprise, ended up enjoying it enough to get the platinum 😅 I used to enjoy the likes of Sonic Adventure 1&2 when I was young but I cant stand them now. I still think Sonic belongs in 2D but Frontiers was a really nice surprise and the soundtrack is great!

First time ever seeing you but loved the vid, I remember when I was a kid playing Fable 2 and being able to buy parts of the game at a time with 800 Microsoft points each part 😂 had to beg to get the next part from my mom. Good times, the Fable series will forever be some of my favorite games of all time

Great video Rusty! I really should check out Easy Come Easy Golf. I may not be a fan of watching golf but those arcade style golf games hit the spot. I recently finished World of Final Fantasy and slowly chipping away at Nintendo World Championships and Mario and Sonic at the 2020 Olympics in spirit of the Paris Olympics happening right now. I look forward to hearing how you achieve your gaming goals this year. :)

Great video Rusty, you’re kind of selling me on that golf game. I might have to try it out! I love the Fable series but I’ve never actually seen 1 or 2 through to completion. I have, however, started over Fable 1 more times than I can count, so that little girl saying “Rosie” is permanently etched into my mind.

Can I just tell you I was thinking about going back to Mario Golf Super Rush. It didn’t win me over when it was release but I’ve been itching to play an arcade golf game. Once I heard you talking about Easy Come Easy Golf I bought it off of the eshop! Loved the Hot Shot games (golf and tennis) and Everybody’s Golf so it didn’t take much to convince me 😂. Looking forward to more of these types of videos. It’s always fun to see what people are playing!!

The reason that this game is compared to Star wars is because it is inspired by the same movie that inspired star wars, the Hidden fortress

Fun video! Haven't played any of the games mentioned, but enjoyed hearing about them nonetheless. I recently finished Disco Elysium, RE2 remake and Oneshot and had a blast with all of them! Now I'm tackling Radiant Historia and Metroid Prime Remastered.

Thanks for all the great edits, even if that Fable gameplay is gonna give me nightmares! I'll definitely be checking out easy come east golf so thanks for the recommendation! Also always happy to see some Splinter Cell love and you KNOW I loved me some Perfect Dark!

Nice to see you again Rusty! I usually don’t complete too many games in a given year. I’ve been playing some comfort games recently (to get me out of my slump) including Super Mario World, Doom, Ocarina of Time.

Hit the thumbs up friends! Thanks for watching!👍♥️

Omg, so young!😁

Do you just not age anymore?! lol. It's great to see a new video from you.

7:26 really black-and-white 2 well my friend you just said some dangerous words

I asked myself the same question while playing Sekiro…am I even having fun? I definitely was not! Like you, I will never touch that game again which is a shame because I love From Soft titles. Great video!

Possibly best soundtrack for a video game ever. As of now it’s been the only video game soundtrack to be nominated for a Grammy

I took months to get used to BOTW, and then entire weeks to just grasp the game mechanics. My motivation was to make it story driven, to focus on the memories (I played in Spanish first time, then tried a second time in English). Then the beasts. An in both BOTW and TOTK, it is ok to try and see if we can bare the difficulty or prepare more. I spent so many hours preparing stuff like upgrades and potions, it turned out I over did the preparations for a bit. Also, please, play TOTK once you beat BOTW, personal recommendation as I love TLOZ, and still feel overwhelmed with both massive interconnected games.

Hey, great list, man. Super impressive! I'm kind of in the same boat you mentioned you were in early in the video where what games I play are primarily or, at the very least, secondarily based on the trophy list. I still play games I want to really play, but I do find myself pushing off longer, grindier games like RDR2 simply because of what the platinum requires... A positive impact that trophy hunting has had on my choice of games to play is that it has introduced me to some amazing shorter games to plat like What Remains of Edith Finch, Stray, and the Spyro trilogy. I'm also struggling with prioritizing completing unfinished games on my playstation games list (dating back 12 years) vs. playing newer games that I really want to play. I feel like my platinum trophy hunting habit is slowly evolving into increasing my overall game game and trophy completion percentage.. Anyways, I'm overall happy with hunting for trophies, but I do need to let go a little and just play the games I really want to play, like you mentioned. Thanks again for the great vid!

Keep it og my dude . Love the video, i'm tired of ultra edited videos.

sorry, i cant vibe with anyone who dislikes pokemon sun and moon. those games were peak.

Sun & Moon and their evolution games in Ultra Sun&Moon are actually great games if you can overlook the fact that there are no arenas. And those games are actually challenging if you are not overleveling like an idiot :D I mean X&Y whould be great games if the inlineskates weren't that annoying and the game actually being hard. But no gym has more than three Pkmn and the whole elite 4 has only 4 Pkmn each. At least the champ got a full team of 6 but all in all X&Y are the weakest games in the main line series. And i'm still upset because I'm sure an game Z could have solved those issues...

I played Pokemon Moon, and while I was enjoying it to some extent (toucannon is one of the most fun pokemon I've ever had on a team) I just wasn't really into it after a while. I know generally where I left off, and I was having a lot of fun with it at the time, but something really made me put it down... and I think it might have been that I was just done with Pokemon. I just feel like it jumped the shark ages ago. I still like certain Pokemon, but really wish things could just be simpler with it. For example, I think a great direction Pokemon could go and hasn't is the cozy game direction. What would be more fun than a game about living alongside Pokemon out in the country, growing your own berries, vegetables, herbs, cooking with them, selling them; having Pokemon help you, catching Pokemon to help the other townspeople, even having an interactive element with other random players (or just keep it contained in the game like Rune Factory) with a "county fair" where you have your crops or dishes you've cooked or Pokemon judged... etc etc. That's what it would take to get me to come back to Pokemon, I think.
