I am looking forward for re9 and fatal frame 2 remake, the issue is I don't have ps5. I might not buy it and end up watching it on youtube. 

Luckily, both games are coming to Nintendo Switch 2. I would say it's worth getting Switch 2 if you want to play the AAA games as well as Nintendo's games like Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom which are even better on Switch 2 along with the must have Donkey Kong Bananza which is only on Switch 2 and I have enjoyed it. I won't be getting a PS5 since there's not much exclusives out there yet, apart from GTA 6 where I need to upgrade from PS4. I am still enjoying my PS4 alongside my Switch 2. I will wait for Ring Fit Adventure 2 on Switch 2 along with new Zelda game or Ocarina of Time Remake.

I'm glad, I am not the only one who watches them and other video games on YouTube

So Mario Tennis Fever is out. I still am waiting to save up to get a copy of the game, hopefully on Eid maybe. I've still been playing Mario Tennis Aces.

Right now, I have been playing my PS3 and Switch 2. I have had a blast playing Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriot and even Metal Gear Solid HD Collection with Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Also MGS4 is finally heading to PS5 and even Xbox Series X/S as well as Nintendo Switch 1 (it's surprising that the almost 9 year old platform will get it and not the PS4 strangely for those who still don't have PS5 and still own PS4 alongside PS3 to play games still on PS3 as well as Xbox 360), and Nintendo Switch 2 (I haven't bothered getting a PS5 just yet, will get one later when the prices go down again in Canada).

So I got Mario Tennis Fever for the Switch 2 on Eid. 

I have been playing it for three days. It's definitely a call back to Mario Power Tennis on the GameCube and Wii (as New Play Control Mario Power Tennis)'s style of gameplay with things like the Fever Rackets and the arcade style gameplay it has from that old GameCube classic of a party-style sports game. It's easily way better than every slop EA has put out with Madden as well as FIFA/EA Sports FC these days. It is also much more fun and interesting too with different gameplay options including optional motion controls via the Swing mode just like Mario Tennis Aces. Also you have a story mode that's even better than Mario Tennis Aces, although I still have yet to start it. It also holds up better as a quality sports game alongside MLB The Show series which I liked 13 on PS3. I still wait for that Mario Super Sluggers followup on the Switch 2 alongside next year's MLB The Show 27 on Switch 2 and PS5. Overall, Tennis Fever is just as great as Power Tennis and even dethrones that game and Tennis Aces as my favorite Mario Tennis.

Here is the overview that goes in depth about the game.

I am planning to play re9 so badly but I can’t because o don’t have ps5. Not planning to purchase anything useless because there is war in Middle East and I will need the money for something else. Inshallah if the war end then I will play thr game.

I'd highly recommend buying the Nintendo Switch 2. It runs the game pretty well with not much difference casually from PS5. It will play both old Switch games and the new Switch 2 games. Also you get to play Zelda and new Nintendo stuff like Donkey Kong Bananza along with the next gen Ring Fit Adventure 2 that I still wait for. It's leaps better than the old Nintendo Switch and easily my favorite Nintendo system in my years of using Nintendo stuff alongside PlayStation going back to PS1 (which is still among my favorites alongside PS2 and PS3 now). Plus I hear GTA6 is coming out eventually for Switch 2, so I can still play it without dropping lots of money on PS5 since I already got a PS4 a while back and I still play PS3.

[ShiaOfMahdi]

I really have some unfortunate news about the PS5 now. The PS5 prices are increasing next month across the board, especially in Canada. It will be around the price of a decent PC at 800+ including tax. This will be a turnoff for many Canadians like me who cannot get a PS5. It really means that when GTA 6 comes out, many gamers who haven't moved on from PS4 and Switch 1 will buy either a Switch 2 or an Xbox Series S to play GTA 6. Nintendo Switch 2 is what I will stick with to play GTA 6 without breaking the bank. It also means that the PS3 and PS4 will be my last PlayStations ever for a while until things become reasonable.

Imagine if GTA 6 get delayed again. I would find it very hilarious and funny

So the new PS5 pricing has taken into effect. Many stores are still selling old stock with the old pricing though so PS5 will still sell in Canada for a little bit until new pricing with new stock will come into effect. After that PS5 sales will decline and it will be all about the Switch 2 here in Canada. In fact the Switch 2 is selling out greatly here in Canada because of things like Pokemon Pokopia as well as the new Super Mario Galaxy Movie which has done well and has outpaced the original Mario movie by Illumination and Nintendo.

[ShiaOfMahdi]

So I got a Hori controller for my Switch 2. It works well. Also the Super Mario Galaxy movie has been out for a month, I might go and see it.  I also am finishing Donkey Kong Bananza soon. Pragmata also got released for PS5, PC, and Switch 2. It sold more copies on Switch 2 actually as a new game. It's like the Switch 2's Devil May Cry like hit and a success for a new Capcom IP. 

[ShiaOfMahdi]

So I beat Donkey Kong Bananza two days ago. It was a great game, but I do wait for the new 3D Mario and a Princess Peach Showtime sequel. I also had some fun time with my nieces and nephews playing the Switch 2 and the backlog of Switch 1 and Switch 2 games with them, including my nieces favourite, Princess Peach Showtime as well as Mario Kart World. Now I am playing through Metroid Prime 4: Beyond now and its been great.

So earlier today, Nintendo revealed a new Star Fox game for the Switch 2 after weeks of rumors and leaks.

It looks amazing and impressive. It has realistic looking visuals and showcases the power of the Switch 2. 

It's a remake of Star Fox 64.

So Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 was announced. It's not only coming to the usual PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms but now the Nintendo Switch 2 finally. It's the first time since Wii U where Nintendo got a Call of Duty game but it actually is now on par with PlayStation and Xbox now in terms of features and content. The Switch 2 represents Nintendo making great hardware again. I still however wait for GTA 6 and Doom: The Dark Ages to come to Switch 2. In the meanwhile I do have Metroid Prime 4: Beyond which is a great fun game that comes close to even Halo of the old days and the original Metroid Prime on the GameCube.

[ShiaOfMahdi]

So after months of waiting, we FINALLY got a Nintendo Direct that gives us both First-party and Third-party games. 

I look forward towards The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake and the new 3D Mario.

[ShiaOfMahdi]

So the Nintendo Direct was incredible. There are a lot of great games shown like the new Xenoblade game, Fire Emblem, Kingdom Hearts 4 and now we have the greatest remake after Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy, The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake. Also Nintendo Switch Sports Resort looks fun as well but I do miss the soccer game so I will hold on to Switch Sports.

There will be another RV game, not sure if its remake or not Resident Evil Veronica  due in 2027

Sony will stop producing discs for physical copies of all new PlayStation video games beginning in 2028<<< This could be the end of my video game career. These corporate greed can't leave anything alone and must ruin it.

GTA 6 - I think it's overrated and overhyped. Waste of money I think

[Diaz]

I am currently playing the last of us remastered on ps4, It was very cheap so I purchased it. I was planning to get the platinum trophy but there are 4 trophies i need to get by playing multiplayer which is not my thing, I might think about it later, Now focusing on getting the other trophies. If anyone plays multiplayer for tlou pls message me.

Yes it's RE Veronica, can't wait for it's released. 

About Sony stop producing discs, there is a very high chance many people will stop purchasing new ps6 if it's released, we will boycott. Majority of people cannot buy games, I love sharing my games with my friends and if there is a game I hate, I just sell it. All this money they have, still they are not satisfied. If Nintendo does not follow sony leads, then I might purchase nintendo instead.

Good news, the Nintendo Switch 2 is better value and it will still give you physical media and pop and play. Will run many games, including GTA 6 inshallah. Call of Duty and future Doom games will be on there. It will play many great Switch 1 games. Also Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake will be great. Most anticipated remake after Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy. I'd say its worth getting the Switch 2 over the PS5 since it is outrageously overpriced to the point that I can build a PC for the price of getting one. I also look forward to Ring Fit Adventure 2 as well.  I do have to also add that Sony will be killing the PS3 and PS Vita PlayStation Stores and I am taking advantage of the time to get the last few games on PS3. I also will have PS3 and PS4 as my last PlayStation systems with me still playing PS3.
