Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Eel By 'bright aura' do you mean the ones that sometimes spawn with that golden shimmer around them? I've only just started playing Shield so I'm getting used to Gen 8 mechanics somewhat.

Every time I see the comments and see the talk on game preservation, I'm reminded... I have the original Sonic the Hedgehog on almost everything, officially, and Sega just keeps releasing their classics on modern systems. Just came to mind.

@Anti-Matter Cool, genuinely wasn't expecting that guitar.

@MarioLover92 Maybe, still pretty cool.

Yeah, I notice Disney does that with some of their Junior shows. My nephew use to be big on Jake and the Neverland Pirates, some Peter-Pan references in that. Sofia the First, the teachers were the three fairies from Sleeping Beauty. They do little nods like that in those shows they made for a younger audience. Making note to check out The Great Mouse Detective one day. Yes, I do have a lot of Disney DVDs and blu-rays, so maybe will pick out something to watch this weekend.

I always play as either Peach or Yoshi. I haven't kept an eye out on amiibo in a while, most of them were just pick up and buy when I saw them, but I didn't know they never made Toadette. I have that set too, I got it shortly after picking up Odyssey.

@Anti-Matter That looks really good! The cutting of the pieces looks so smooth, it's impressive.

I dare you to draw a drifto miester version of yourself. I like the unbuttoned gray shirt outfit (flapping in the wind in some parts). I think you could pause the video and use a frame of the video as a template/inspiration, like at 0:05, 0:10, 0:14, or 0:19-20.

If you're not into the idea, though, it's too difficult to get the bike right, or it doesn't turn out as good as you want, don't worry about it.

Forgive me for loving this video so much.

Don't you wear your tires out riding like that, though, @WoomyNNYes ....?

@WoomyNNYes
Thanks. 😃
Me while drifting with my bike ?? 😯
Gosh....
I need to learn how to draw drifting pose and mountain bike for Chibi peoples.

While it's not a deep discount, Amazon US has Kirby preorders for $54.99. I think the two games i'm most excited for right now are it, and Elden Ring 😂

@BruceCM haha. That is what happens!😃 Although, if I am cruising along a paved trail, you an always do a silly difting skid in the grass. It works about the same, and you preserve the tire. Or, if someone ever encounters a plastic food tray, you can skid on that. The tire stops on the tray, and the tray takes all the wear. These are likely things most everyone has done at some point in there life.

Doing halfcabs are also fun/satisfying, and they don't destroy tires. Nevermind the crazy thumbnail of the video. I posted it because he does halfcabs in the street in the beginning.

@Maximumbeans yup those ones

Just got my mid-term break early thanks to Storm Eunice touching down on Ireland. Switch Sports and Pokemon, here I come!

MK8 Booster Pass gameplay leak.
Quick, before Eel or Nintendo shuts me down.

@StudioLoading I was going to say this before the thread about your game got locked.

You might want to check out this Link here

https://www.nintendolife.com/user/verified

To contact the staff about your upcoming project. That way it doesn't come of as spam. Not only that but it will go into a game developers section where people can find it easier.

@Tasuki yes, I tried to reply there but the topic has been closed. I am so sorry, I didn't know the correct way.
I firstly tried the "verified user" way, you know, but this is my first worldwide project, and it's on the DMG console.. I have no games on the eShop to be recognized as a verified user.
What's the correct way to interact to NintendoLife to be - like - known ?
Thank you @Tasuki

@StudioLoading the correct way would be using the contact form to ask an admin.

@Eel Thank you then, I just did so.

Yeah, I haven't had a bicycle for years & I certainly wouldn't fancy trying most of the tricks you showcase, @WoomyNNYes .... That MK8D dlc leak looks suspicious, though

When you see a female US olympic halfpipe skiier on tv that went to the ski academy that your good friend was a freestyle ski coach at.😃😃

Having a good friend that was a freestyle ski coach was a pretty sweet deal.

This might be my only ski photo from back in the day. Pic was taken as I was pulling into a tucked 360, or a mute grab 360. I did have the speed & air to land on the downside at left side of the frame. I could do 540s, 720s, and big, slow, tucked 180s were super stylish and fun, too.

They were such exciting "holy s**t!" moments in my life, like magical, when I did my first 360 on skis in high school, my first 540 on skis and landing backwards, and spinning my first 720 on skis, seemed so crazy to do. And the scenery definitely blurs as you spin when you're a newb to spinning. Now they do inverted 1440s and 1880s. It's nuts! That's definitley foam pit work or ski jump into a pool session type stuff.

@Sunsy Ah yeah that is cool. That's actually good for when parents are seeing those shows with their kids, particularly if they grew up seeing the Disney classics themselves of course. Cool to see you're making note to see it sometime. I remember liking the villain as well, Professor Ratigan.

Those are good choices for sure. Yeah, I pretty much just get amiibos on occasion at this rate. If I happen to see one that I like, I may pick it up. Yeah, the Mario series amiibos came out in 2015-2016, when Mario Party 10 and Mario Party: Star Rush came out, respectively. It's why I was pretty surprised to see that they still haven't made a Toadette amiibo after all these years. I would've bought her amiibo by now! Just because she's so cute, lol.

@tekoii Yeah, I totally wasn't expecting Nintendo to make Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC, especially since the game came out 5 years ago. So that was a nice surprise. Sounds like Arceus is a good time then, I wanna try to get it later on. Christmas this year at the very latest. Though, I do want to get some games from the 3DS and Wii U eShops before they close for good - I refuse to miss out on them!

With the Wii U and 3DS eShop shutting down, I know I mentioned it in the "what's on your wishlist" thread and in a comment of an article, I want to just mention Tank Troopers again here. Just really a fun tank game that feels ignored because it came out during that weird time between the Wii U and the Switch.

@tekoii Yeah, it's one of my favorite mods because it keeps the look close to the Dreamcast original.

Yeah, I played Blue and Yellow a lot, then got some of the spin-offs (thanks recent news, I need to buy Pokemon TCG GB on the eShop), and Gold. I didn't play Ruby as much, but played Emerald more and then fell out of it. Amusing part, was I got a Pokemon shirt sometime after falling out of the series and still wore it a few times, lol. Will do, I have Pokemon X and I did download the update just to have it ready for when I play the game.

I'm leaving for my trip tomorrow afternoon, straight from work. Other than a bit of downtime here and there (if any), I kinda doubt I'll be on here much for the next few days. HOWEVER....I do have some of those promised ? Block photos!

@MarioLover92 I do hope that with Nintendo's current ecosystem, the NSO content at least moves forward with the platforms; I feel for those who had to upgrade their VC entries from Wii to Wii U for a fee. I'd prefer owning them outright and just having access to my digital purchases as system upgrades commence and just associate it all by account.

That was one of the criticisms I've read: Paper Jam is more a Mario & Luigi game and not the true crossover it was advertised as. You'd think it would've struck more of a balance lol.

On the ? block: Thanks! Pics are above if you're interested.

@tekoii I love that Rex can switch to any Blade, though it seems almost unfair that the rest of the party can't do the same lol. Morytha is beautiful in a post-apocalyptic way and makes me wonder how things used to be in Alrest. I do hope to get to Torna before too long, but I'll give it a bit after I finish XC2 to avoid burnout. I suspect I'm getting into the really good plot details now. The Tornan ship did indeed look like a Mechon; definitely got those vibes too! I'd say the field skill requirement is now one of my main complaints, along with insufficient tutorials and the gacha Blade mechanics. XC2 is indeed impressive, it's still an amazingly good game. I just prefer the other titles in the series. XD I do hope Monolith eventually ports XCX to the Switch or another future platform; more people need to experience that game. It's heavier on the sci-fi aspects of the series and places more focus on quests, exploration, and its deep systems than the story.

I'm still having a great time with the game, but I'm giving it a rest for a few days since I'm not taking my Switch on my travels.
