@HotGoomba___Rebrand I have a similar problem with Persona 5 Strikers. I have a PlayStation and a Switch so do I want portability or continuity, with having P5R on PS4?

@Snatcher Indeed, it is kind of cool, especially when I've seen Sonic fans online have been asking for Chao gardens for years, it's nice to see a game features something like it at least.

@HotGoomba___Rebrand Yeah, I'm noticing the comments too, I'm surprised I played it before Nintendo Life posted about it. I like it, but I'm not too surprise since there's been plenty of times I've enjoyed games that most didn't, or even played games I feel are underrated and others don't talk about much.

@Anti-Matter In Sonic Lost World, you actually have to intentionally press down the R button to make Sonic run faster. Keep in mind there will be parts where you need to be going fast to make it passed certain obstacles.

@Sunsy
From what i saw on Youtube, there were some parts that you don't need to run all over the time (i can walk normally like 3D Mario games). Also there are 2 different running style I saw, Normal running and High Speed running. I'm totally fine with Normal running but struggle a lot by High Speed running like i barely see anything clear and i cannot quick react too fast.
I still have fear with high speed running visual as in real life i really have fear in riding motorcycle on the backrow as passenger even on 30 - 40 km/hour.

@Anti-Matter Alright. If you want, you could log onto the Wii U eShop, look up the game, and see if you can download the demo. Maybe it will give you a feel for it.

@Sunsy
Yeah, I feel like a good BR that fits your style is kind of hard to do. What's I like about Ninjala, is that it's less of a "traditional" BR, and is more what Splatoon would be like if it had a BR mode. 🤔

@Tyranexx
Didn't realize I was using L33T regularly in my posts. I feel like using L33T could be hard for some people (in general) to use. Yeah, it's more like a "code" than a language. 🤔

EDIT: Based on the comments I'm seeing about Balan Wonderworld, I don't get how they're supposed to fix the issues by the release date. I believe that they should delay the game, because it really needs it. I haven't played the demo (and I still will), but it's not looking so good right now for Balan Wonderworld. 🤔
Like I said in the Balan Wonderworld first impressions article, the fact that Balan Wonderworld and MH Rise shared the same release date, to begin with, was not good, as MH Rise is (most likely) going to overshadow Balan Wonderworld. The demo has proven that BW NEEDS to be delayed if it's to succeed at this point. I'm saying this as someone who's pretty excited for the game, and wants it to succeed. 🤔

@Tyranexx

Say what now?

Luckily, I speak fluent auto-correct, so no need to repeat or translate.

P.S.

Better not let Octane hear that you called him a German...

@SM3DASislit Alrighty, then.

So...

The other day I got into a talk about the Commodore Amiga in the Turrican article thread, and that inspired a little YouTube search about the best games on that platform.

During my YouTube search for some good examples/top something lists, I came across this nifty little gadget, and now that has become the latest thing on my wish list:

I tried out the Balan Wonderworld demo last night. It's...a bit rough around the edges, admittedly. Every action button does the same thing no matter what costume you're using (there's even a costume that can't jump) - are they really trying to make it like the old Sonic games? Having to swap between them made it a bit cumbersome to play, more so by having to play a transformation animation every time you want to use a different costume. There's like little to no enemies for the player to fight, too, so the game as a whole (at least from what I've played) wasn't very challenging. And yeah, I played it on the Switch and it seems to struggle with its framerate during gameplay. I do like the art style and music though - I've always liked whimsical environments, characters, and things like that.

But yeah...not the worst game I've ever played but it could've been a tad better. I'm glad I gave it a shot though. I do respect Yuji Naka and the other games he helped create - this one's just not one of his best works.

@theJGG Ouch, sorry to hear. Hopefully you still had a good birthday nonetheless! Way before COVID (it was in the early 2000s, I believe - I was in my 10s) me and my brother got to go to a speedway where we drove real go-karts in an indoor track. It was fun.

@Tyranexx That's cool. I'm basically the same way with cakes, lol. And yeah, a lot of the snow in my area's sticking around for a while longer, it seems.

I have downloaded Sonic Lost World Wii U demo and i could walk normally like 3D Mario games if i want to collect some rings or investigating other side. I still tend to play in slow speed rather than high speed.
I will consider the physical copy.

I was shocked by Sonic Racing All Stars Wii U Demo version as i found something based on rated 18+ SEGA games. Even just only places, it was HELL NO from me.
I will NOT drive into those places.
HELL NO, just HELL NO.
I immediately deleted the Wii U Demo version and delisted Sonic Racing Transformed from my purchase list. The game has been banned for having any stuff based on rated 18+ SEGA games. I knew i couldn't really trust SEGA when talking about their IP's.

@MarioLover92
Sorry, I have to ban Sonic Racing Transformed for having rated 18+ SEGA games references on it after i have investigated quickly. It was breaking my gaming rules number 1 (NO rated 18+ games allowed whatsoever in any form).
The Sonic characters and other tame SEGA IP's were okay for me but the rated 18+ SEGA games as the places are HELL NO for me. Don't mention the name of the places, I have seen it from wikia and I felt pissed off.

@Anti-Matter What is the deal with 18 rated games out of curiosity? Back when I was thirteen I asked for games rated sixteen, and when I got them it transpired that they weren’t even that offensive at all. Horizon Zero Dawn was one example, and that game is a really low sixteen, maybe because of small blood flashes...

Over the years I’ve began to play more and more eighteen rated games even though I’m still below that range. It started with Inside when I was a bit younger, and more recently games like Death Stranding, Red Dead Redemption, Ghost of Tsushima have been played by me. Violence was never an issue for me, it’s more the sexual content that keeps me away from some games.

So games I wont play are the GTAs and the Witcher games, and especially games even marginally similar to Cyberpunk 2077 where you can customise female characters’ chest size, anything about their genitals including male or female. That wasn’t explicitly gratuitous but there wasn’t an absolutely solid reason to have done it. So that’s a no go.

I get you’re a Nintendo die hard so this’ll probably not apply, but there’s some experiences that just can’t be watered down or censored, like being a samurai during feudal Japan, or delivering goods across a ravaged United States, or otherwise.

@MarioLover92 I celebrated it on the 15th because of school on the actual day! I got that wheel I mentioned, and based off the PS5 playtime tracker (which tracks individual ours by the way!) I’ve spent over twenty hours in that chair driving. It’s super fun and adds a whole new level of interactivity with driving games, especially sims. Because it’s not just moving your thumbs on a pad, it’s literally driving. Did you get anything surprising? If you’ve answered then I’m sorry I didn’t see it, but might as well ask!

So, after I saw the mention of Sonic Racing Transformed, I decided to try out the demo, and found that there were some REALLY cool stages in them, so I figured I'd share the joy with all of you guys.

Here they are, in no particular order:

I think I like the Graveyard Gig from The House of the Dead EX the best...

@theJGG
You have no idea with what i have experienced when i was kid. 🤨
I was the victim of rated 18+ stuffs by accidentally.
It made me traumatized and grew my hatred toward them.
I didn't even play those games, i hate them.
As i grew up, so does with my hatred with rated 18+ stuffs.
I saw them as a sin, evil, satan, that should be condemned and annihilated by force in any cost. They are something really offending and attacking me even just i accidentally saw their existence near of me.

And that's why i only play rated E and E10+ games by mostly, with a few Teen games that have been inspected first before i allowed them.
Kids games rules !
I'm not really die hard Nintendo fan as i'm also play PlayStation games but still rated E & E10+ oriented by majority. And the PlayStation games i played are majority DDR, Konami's Rhythm games, Casual games, Cartoonish games, very opposite with what majority users here played.

And stop mentioning any rated 18+ games you have mentioned.
I don't even want to know, to the damn hell their existences.

I've been playing Paper Mario Origami King now I'm fairly certain that it's a horror game.

And also a remake of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

And a musical. Sometimes.

@theJGG That's a bummer. Good news is I think there's a light at the end of this plagud tunnel, so you'll (hopefully) be karting on your b-day next year!

@SM3DASislit I mean you weren't using it, I meant you just had the general gist of L33T in that post where you tried to replicate it. Unless I've misunderstood your response lol.

@ThanosReXXX Haha, whoops! I try to proofread my posts when I can - you've seen the evidence that my phone can be quite a troll - but sometimes errors like that slip through. XD Thankfully typos when I post here on my laptop are way less frequent.

@MarioLover92 Haha, they are delicious!

It's supposed to rain the next couple of days, so unfortunately the snow will vanish. It was fun while it lasted lol.

@ThanosReXXX
I pissed off when i found rated 18+ references from Sonic Racing Transformed Wii U demo version.
I immediately deleted the Demo version before even i started the race.
I replaced it with other Wii U game (Pokken) in physical on my purchase list.
Rules is rules, No rated 18+ stuffs in any form even just only places or characters.
Thank goodness my awareness saved me from such a thing like that.

@Anti-Matter All right - you don't have to buy it. Whatever floats your airplane.

@theJGG Oh that's cool, I have something similar. It's the deluxe Mario Kart racing wheel for the Switch, and it works pretty well. I LOVE the look of it, too. It works for PC as well!

@Tyranexx Ah...I see. Everything must come to an end at some point, I guess. Speaking of snow, though I'm not a big fan of being in it, I do like watching it snow while I'm inside. It's a nice, cozy sight.

@MarioLover92 WHY in the world did they not do another sonic racing T it was the best racing game yet plus they had something going for there racing games, Thats sega for you.

@Eel YAAAA And Nooo I mean there was a whole part that game me a nightmar about paper but I don't think it can count as a scary game.
