Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Sunsy Yeah, I pretty much said the same thing earlier, how they don't have a messaging system. The Switch would really, really benefit from that. I guess they want to prevent messages that have naughty language from being sent, or something like that. With that said, they could filter out words so that all private messages are G-rated, for example.

@TheJGG Yeah, been playing that game a ton lately, lol. Honestly, I haven't been selling my fossils for a long time, I sell pumpkins instead, which is way less time consuming. Pretty much the things I do now are having coffee at Brewster's, and visiting Kapp'n's island each day I play. Been doing a ton of island hopping to get the new DIYs I'm missing. I actually took a hiatus from that game until the Animal Crossing direct was over, it literally made me come back since it's a huge update. How far are you in New Horizons?

@TheJGG
Animal Crossing New Horizons is like The Sims games.
It's open ending game.
There are a lot of things to do after got update 2.0.0 and Happy Home Paradise DLC.

@MarioLover92 I remember a long time ago getting the Phineas and Ferb DS game, and it had an online service called DGamer. Disney made their own service for achievements, leaderboards, avatar, and amazingly chatting. Being Disney of course, their chat system would prevent bad words from being sent, otherwise chat was functional.

If that's the concern, maybe Nintendo should just filter out certain words. Asking "I see you're on, want to play something?" wouldn't result in anything bad. Even Miiverse allowed you to message your friends.

Plus, I never worry too much about voice chat. I usually disable it in game, and save using it with IRL friends I can trust.

sounds like you couldnt ask for much more
@Snatcher yep

@Sunsy
Just curious.
If i have two NDS Lite and play same games, can i still play local multiplayer and interact each other (games example = Animal Crossing Wild World, Animal Boxing, Mario Kart DS, etc) ?

Ow, yeah !
I got Venusaur and Lugia from Pokemon Tazos (it called Pokemon Coin here).

I got some Legendary Pokemons before even playing Pokemon BDSP. 😁

@Sunsy Oh I didn't know that Disney had such a thing. I know they had Club Penguin back then, which was that online game on browsers. That used to be huge back in the day. Hopefully Nintendo will have messaging for their next console, at least - I'm not expecting it to appear on the Switch, as cool as that would be. I still remember when they trashed Miiverse - you can at least post stuff on your Facebook/Twitter account. I'm guessing they want us to use those platforms for posting screenshots/messaging, I dunno. lol

Speaking of Disney, yesterday was Beauty and the Beast's 30th anniversary. A childhood classic of mine and it's such a good movie. I used to have it on VHS, and I have it on blu-ray now.

@Anti-Matter You could, but if you have multiple copies of the same game, as well as multiple DS systems, you'll generally have access to all of that game's content in multiplayer. You'll only be able to play on a handful of courses in Mario Kart DS with just a single copy, for example.

Edit: Missed your Pokemon post, was just focused on making that post without refreshing, lol. I'm no Pokemon expert, but I don't think Venusaur is a legendary Pokemon. Those are pretty cool though.

@MarioLover92
I mean Lugia was the Legendary Pokemon i got from Pokemon Tazos this morning. 😅

@TheJGG I've been pretty lucky so far with recovery. All I felt after the shot was the arm hurting a little bit, and it seems to be the same for this second shot.

Got myself some nice deal on Black Friday - Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate.
And that aligned perfectly with my shipment from LRG

Phew...!
Finally, i finished the storyline of Skylanders Superchargers Wii U just now. 😀
I was thinking after beating Kaos it was the end and credit roll started to play until suddenly the Final Boss Darkness interupted the Credit roll and i have to beat him at Final Boss Battle.
Aw, snap !
It was easy Boss battle as i have set the difficulty on Easy from beginning. 😏
Well, already 3 Skylanders games finished, still have Superchargers Racing Wii and Trap Team Wii U to be finished.
And i hope my plan to get Skylanders Imaginators PS4 will be comes true.

@Zuljaras Got deal he says, No, you got a steal! (Idk how much it costed LOL)

@ogo79 Indeed. Been awhile since I've seen you here, so hoping things are good with you.

@Anti-Matter Yup, actually I do this with DS and GBA games. Sometimes I'll pick up an extra copy just to be able to play multiplayer with friends or family. Played Sonic Battle's multiplayer when my friend visited years ago.

Some games use one copy (multiplayer done via Download Play), while others needs a copy per player. Yeah, having two DS systems, and two copies of a game allows multiplayer over local wireless (system to system).

@MarioLover92 Yeah, the service was primarily on Disney's DS games, and usable in a web browser (via Flash). You could still chat on the DS version over local. For some reason they also had a local wireless option for chatting, tried this with both Phineas and Ferb DS games, and it works. In a weird way, they did online chat on DS, while Pictochat was primarily offline.

Saw something about that yesterday. Love the movie, maybe I should watch it again sometime soon, it's been awhile since I've seen it.

@Sunsy
I see...
But i only have single copy of NDS games and nobody around me want to play handhelds / consoles so yeah...i just play alone.

@Sunsy Oh wow, they had voice chat for local multiplayer huh? That's...a bit redundant, you could already talk to others normally while you're each playing on your DS's. lol

I think I recall hearing that Metroid Prime Hunters had voice chat for online, though I never played its online multiplayer. The only DS game I played online was Mario Kart DS.

Yeah I was thinking of seeing it again soon, as well! I saw that post from Disney on my (top-secret) Facebook feed. I'm only a couple months shy of being in my 30s and I still love it, too.

There's a Skeletor Nendoroid. I don't know what to think about this...

That's oddly disturbing, @Blooper987 .... I'll duly not get either of those, the same way I never got any Funko Pops or Final Fantasy figures, etc, etc, though

@Anti-Matter Alright, if you wanted to know, you can use two DS systems and two copies of the game to connect systems.

@MarioLover92 Not voice chat, Disney DGamer chat was just text chatting over the Internet, but they let you use it over local wireless. In a way, it actually preserves the function with the servers shut down.

I remember playing Diddy Kong Racing DS, Mario Kart, Sonic Rush Adventure, and GoldenEye 007 online. I think Mario Kart was my least favorite, wasn't a fan of playing four races in a row. I like the one race at a time Wii, 7 and 8 has, this way if I need to leave, I can leave between races. I didn't hate the game at all, I loved playing it offline and over Download Play with friends.

Haha, I found out via my top secret Instagram feed. I think you're never too old to enjoy animation or cartoons, or anything really. Belle is probably one of my favorite princess characters, thought it was cool she made appearances in Ralph Breaks The Internet and the Disney TV show, Sofia the First (context, Sofia's magical amulet summons one of the Disney princesses when she's in trouble).

Speaking of Disney, I can't stop watching the trailer to the next Pixar movie, Turning Red. So far it looks good, and I'm loving the early 2000's settings.

@Blooper987 ................ YES
