Had a good evening of gaming. Tried the new Kirby demo, played a bit of Sonic, and some online games of Wing Commander Armada (GOG made it easy to play a classic online) and World of Tanks Blitz with my friend.
@MarioLover92 If you get to the theater early enough, they'll show ads, music videos, and movie trivia, one of the ads was for Odyssey. Me too, I really want to see how the movie looks animated. Don't know if I'll be able to see it when it comes out.
I do know Sonic Movie 2, Turning Red, and Trolls 3 are my most anticipated movies right now. Will probably see Turning Red at my friend's house because he has Disney+ and we did the same for Luca (similar to Luca, I'd probably would buy a DVD release of it too).
Honestly, I kind of want to see Sonic Movie 2 end with Amy and Metal to set up Sonic CD's story.
@Tyranexx That's fine, I often played games on PC that didn't come out on Nintendo's systems anyway. I have Sonic 4 Episode II on Steam, while it never came out on Wii or Wii U, despite Episode I being out on WiiWare.

I didn't realize there will be Turning Red on this year.
Speaking about animated movie, I dare myself to play Rango on PS3 as I got the game yesterday and I have reached 2/3 part of storyline. Pretty quick for never before played games. Looks like I can finish the game this night.
Talking about character design, i'm not even a fan of Rango character design, the animals looked a little bit creepy but the gameplay was intriguing despite a little bit fps drop between 20 - 30 fps on PS3.
I felt I can open with certain new things since I have PS3, well not in the same level as my favorite things.
Have you ever dare to try some games you have no interest with them before but suddenly you get engaged after playing ?
@Anti-Matter Forget this year, it's coming out in a week. Turning Red comes out next Friday.
Sounds like to me you found a game you like from something you didn't expect to like? The good old, "never judge a book game by its cover" rule. For me, it's Yo-Kai Watch. Never showed any interest in it, until I found a copy of the game for super cheap ($5 new). When I started playing it, I really liked what I played.
Don't know if I'll ever play the other games in the series, but I do enjoy the original game, even if it's in my backlog at the moment.

So maybe this is the wrong thing to discuss here but I am just confused on this thought.
So I am all for helping Ukraine and all but I don't see the point of companies like Nintendo, Microsoft, WWE etc blocking their content in Russia. It's not the Russia citizens fault that their leaders decided to attack Ukraine. Does Nintendo believe that Russian leaders are sitting around buying stuff on eShop??? Does WWE belive they are just sitting around watching old Wrestlmanias??
Again I do side with Ukraine but what's the point of cutting of Russian citizens from these things.

Eh ? This week ?
And how do you watch movie during pandemic ?
Oh, you have ever tried Yokai Watch game.
Which Yokai do you like to use?
If you can enjoy the first game Yokai Watch on 3DS, you will like more the third game as Yokai Watch 3 have more modern looking Yokai especially the USA Yokai. They looked like mascot rather than creepy spectre creatures. I spent the most time on Yokai Watch 3 Tempura 3DS than the first and second game as the third game have tons of post game content so it feels you still have a lot of things to do even after finishing the storyline. Talking about Yokai Watch 3, it has a lot of cameo or parody from iconic / famous things from USA like Indiana Jaws (Anthro shark Yokai with Indiana Jones outfits), Steve Jaws (Shark version of Steve Jobs. He had passed away in real life and become a Shark Yokai in Yokai Watch 2 & 3), Yopple Inc (Yokai version of Apple company), the zombies during nightime in USA (BBQ) that remind of Michael Jackson's Thriller, etc.
@Tasuki I'm kind of with you. I definitely don't know the whole story regarding the situation regarding Russia and how game sales might affect the economy or industry there and I probably never will. It does seem strange to me that so many companies are halting sales, though. They could very well have a good reason for doing so, though.

@lolwhatno@StarPoint@1UP_MARIO Well.good to know I am not the only one who thought that. I mean I am sympathetic for the people of Ukraine but for example if the leader of the country where I lived started a war that I was totally against and Nintendo blocked me from the eShop just because I happen to live in that country I would be mad at Nintendo. And what about people who are there because of their job, or schooling?? It just doesn't make sense.
If anything it would make sense if these corporations would maybe start a fund or give money to the people of Ukraine in support.

@BruceCM Yeah, we'll see what happens. Assuming that E3 happens this year, we'll be certain that a Nintendo Direct will happen.
@Tyranexx Yeah folders would be great for sure...I'm surprised they didn't make them for the Switch. I especially made great use of them on the 3DS, I have a backlog folder, as well as folders for Mario games, Zelda games, etc. I'd so make a backlog folder on my Switch as well!
@Sunsy That's cool, I played the Kirby demo as well and I really liked it. Yeah, I'm not sure if I'd be able to see it right when it comes out, but I definitely will see it at some point. Ah yeah, I did hear Luca is pretty good, that's another one I should watch.
A Nintendo Direct will still happen at some point, even if E3 digital doesn't, @MarioLover92 ... Whether they'll announce the next big Mario this year or not is less certain, especially if there's some Zelda ports coming & all the MK8 DLC to keep people busy, with everything else already revealed as well
@Anti-Matter One week left, as in Turning Red is coming out next Friday. It's streaming on Disney+, not sure if Disney+ is in Indonesia.
Yup, I found a copy one day for cheap. I like Jibanyan, it's been awhile since I've played the game so I can't remember who else was in my party.
Cool! I don't know if I'll play the third game, I heard it's pretty rare. Also, I have other eShop games I want to get first before the 3DS eShop shuts down.
@MarioLover92 Awesome. The new Kirby kind of reminded me of Super Mario 3D World in a way. It's cool we got to try Karby in the demo. Yeah, usually with new release movies, I give it about a week or so in event I can't go day of release. Luca was a great movie IMO, good story about three friends. My mom's side of the family is Italian, so I had fun with the Italy moments (this also explains some of the Italian things I've made in the cooking thread, family recipes! )
BTW, I bought Super Mario Advance 4 on Wii U today. Holy cow, the e-Reader levels threw me for a loop. Those SMB3 remixed SMB1 levels, even the levels with SMB2 vegetables. I like this a lot.
Woohoo...!
I finished the storyline of Rango PS3 just now. 😃
The game was pretty short, it took 2 days to finish.
The storyline was mediocre in my opinion, the gameplay was okay but it has some fps hiccups (20 - 30 fps). I don't like with the character design as they don't look very appealing but I quite enjoy the gameplay. Overall I gave it 6/10.
@Tyranexx No, I believe you may have a good understanding of how terrifying it must be to hear “thousand tentacles”, “divine robes,”, and “guilty road” in your sleep. The art delivery lines by human bosses is just ridiculous at times, and Malos’ fight is not an exception. As you mention… the game has some pretty rubbish tutorials, so it took me eight chapters to fully understand elemental bursts. Or maybe I even beat the whole game. I don’t remember. But Pneuma’s very powerful when it comes to exploiting them, especially because she can essentially make the orbs and break them too. I always loved fighting really powerful enemies, using Pneuma’s special to hit each orb once in a chain attack, and use other Blades from other Drivers to get bursts quickly. The combat can get complex… if explained. Not well, but at all.
As a sign to how bad the mechanics are for Core Crystals, I’ve played through Xenoblade 2… about four or five times, and I have only gotten KOS-MOS, the rarest Blade in the whole game, once. That part of the game is crazy off-putting, but the rest of it isn’t too bad, so merits coming back every now and then. The combat shows really well how Monolithsoft have balanced using a proven system, with fine-tuning or experimenting with balance here and there. Monolith seems to have a “Goldilocks” approach to game design, based on Xenoblade alone, though they seem to have gotten the “just right” part early on before trying to upend the table. X’s combat was pretty fast, and 2’s was slow, therefore. DE’s is in the happy middle.
On Torna; good idea. I’d recommend waiting for a big block of time to open up, because it’s a little bit larger than I expected. If so desired it can be a thirty hour game; by doing all the side-quests and all, plus watching all three hours of cutscenes. I personally took twelve, but I rushed through it big time, as it was my second playthrough, knowing how to finish quests, et cetera. It’s ironically one of the best RPGs in terms of the overall package despite it being DLC to the main game. For me in terms of gaming, I’ve picked up Final Fantasy XV again. I’m worried I’ll never view RPGs the same again after this one, because it’s just so good. The English voice acting in particular is one of the best I’ve ever seen. I’m also expecting Gran Turismo 7 to arrive within the next two days, so I’ll be turning a real wheel on a virtual track, expending real energy and time. RPG season hits soon though, so I’d better have fun while I can!
And Celeste? Do it, respectfully. The game is difficult, I agree, but there’s many reasons why I’m fine with it. First, there’s an assist mode. It can be activated at any time and doesn’t change the game in any way. You can change game speed, give yourself an extra jump, or infinite, and/or turn off damage. Sometimes in a very difficult screen I’ll just.. use that. But for the most part I’ve beaten three levels without heavy use of it. Second reason is that the game isn’t misleading or unfair design-wise. The game is incredibly simple (a jump button, and eight directions of movement, plus holding the trigger button to climb). Unlike a… Dark Souls or an Elden Ring, it’s easy to learn and difficult to master. Whenever you die, you also reset back to the start of the screen within a second. So no need to rewatch your death or wait for loading. You can get back into the level and fix the mistake.
