Counter to this: Don’t cater to noobs.
Hollow Knight is one of the GOATs because it’s hard, but extremely fair. Learn the patterns, and any boss can be beaten hitless; explore properly, and any boss can be returned to rematch – after a death – from a bench in 1 to 2 screens (late game even has a teleport ability!).
Backwards compatibility means lost opportunity to resell the same game.

3DS will come to a higher-cost monthly tier of NSO this generation, mark my words.
Pros: Higher res, better APU
Cons: Trackpads gone
Depends on your hardware. It mostly just works.
Tetris Effect is damned near perfect, IMO. You can turn off the visual effects / particle diarrhea, but the audio immersion & synchronization is «chef’s kiss», and it plays so well.
If you’ve not tried it once in VR, you need to.
It’ll be out before Silksong, anyhow.
I was there, too, my dude!
FYI, there’s an No-VR mod for Alyx in case you want to play it, and lack of a headset is what’s stopping you.
I’m reading all the love for the original Steam controller; I didn’t get it. Maybe it’s because I’m a heavy dpad user, but I had one and sold it off reasonably quickly.
Here’s hoping the follow-up works better for me; the Deck is fantastic!
Literally my only complaint is the Amazon’s model. More svelte in my mind, less… «hand waves» that.
Vicarious Visions’ team for that game needs the equivalent of an Academy Award for what they achieved (and no, I don’t mean Geoff Keighley’s flatulence).
Honestly, with a 4k TV and a MiSTer, you can do some amazing things with shadowmasks and scanline filters, it looks good. And still, very very little latency (I can beat Tyson in Punch Out on an LCD display, no issues – try that on Lakka)
Look into a MiSTer FPGA. It’s way better than a pi (latency!) for everything up to ps1/n64/Saturn
Wouldn’t shock me in the slightest
I’ve had it on mobile for months; I’ve just been using the script to convert the Steam exe (which I paid for) to an APK for Android.
Don’t see the point in buying the game twice.
TNG 4x17 - Night Terrors
Still a fave.
How does the Glyph/Sigil drawing mechanic (DS touchscreen) work now?
Hollow Knight
WiiU-style bad naming, perhaps? I had no idea “anniversary edition” had redone art assets.
Name them. I’d be happy to counter.
