Peacock commented on Review: Super Mario World (Wii U eShop / Super...:

This game is a completely overrated, clustered, way too loose, boring, slippery mess of a game

I still have no idea how people consider this to be the best Mario game or the best platformer, or even the best game: I see almost nothing in it.

And before you ask, yes I've 100%'d this game and got every single nook and cranny including the Special World and the Top Secret Area: I barely felt satisfied in it. Just when I'm asked to play any Mario game, this is the last one I'll ever go to; hell, I'll even play New Super Mario Bros. 2 or The Lost Levels before this.

Peacock commented on No Circle Pad Pro In Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moo...:

I think the game controls just fine as it is. I really felt like I had more precision control than I did in Luigi's Mansion 1, there were only a few times where I had wished I had a little better camera control (such as when you're trying to fight ghosts with the Toads running around like morons).

Peacock commented on Feature: A Short History of Luigi:

What I honestly like a lot about Luigi is that he's definitely an outlet for Nintendo's artistically creative side. While Mario is the icon and gets his good but relatively uninspired games, Luigi's games allow Nintendo to create a new character that actually separates himself from Mario both in personality and in gameplay style. I still consider Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga the definition of gaming perfection, and for what I've played of Dark Moon so far, it's fantastic stuff. Luigi is another representation about why Nintendo's characters are the best in the industry: Luigi still gets confused nowadays for simply a Mario pallet swap, but his animations and things he does in games screams personality.

Peacock commented on Review: Mega Man 3 (3DS eShop / NES):

"Unfortunately the game does suffer from some slowdown, a glitchy weapon and relatively careless level design"

I'm sorry, those are all the things that ruin the game for me. I've never seen any appeal to Mega Man 3 at all besides some of the music, and every time I play it I find it a massive chore to do so.

Definitely passing until 4 comes out.

Peacock commented on Movie Review: Wreck-It Ralph:

I honestly connected so much to this movie when I first saw it that I went back and watched it three more times in the theaters. Honestly one of my all time favorite movies, and one I'm going to watch dozens of times over.

Peacock commented on Review: Kirby Air Ride (GameCube):

This game deserves a 9, hands-down, I'm sorry.

If there's one video game I've played to repetition ever since its launch and STILL haven't gotten bored of it, it's this one. City Trial is the PERFECT multiplayer mode, and literally everyone that I have known and talked to that has played this game agrees KAR is fantastic.

Again, City Trial is the real selling point to this game, and has given me and hundreds of other people endless fun. As I decide a lot of a game's merit based on how much I'll go back and replay it, this game definitely has massive replayability, and is still one of my all-time favorites.

Peacock commented on Nintendo Power Magazine Looks Set to Shut Down:

Wow umm... this is pretty depressing for a longtime subscriber like me. Despite what I've been thinking about their quality declining ever since the internet finally came to full fruition, this loss still makes me very sad, as I always used to, and still enjoy, getting new issues in the mail.

Probably guessing issue 300 will be their last, but it'd better go out with a bang as promised.
