@Snatcher Knowing it's Disney songs, I most likely will enjoy it. May watch it as soon as tonight, it caught mom's attention as she watched the Academy Awards. I usually don't watch the show though.

@Zuljaras You're welcome.

@Tyranexx While I'm into PC gaming, honestly, I never built my own PC. My first PC was custom built by a now closed local PC shop, and my current PC I ordered online. I have opened up the desktop PC and an old laptop, and changed parts in it, like swap in a new power supply in the old PC, or upgrade my hard drive in a laptop. That's about it.

@MarioLover92 I think I may watch Encanto tonight, it gotten mom's attention because of the Academy Awards, FWIW, I don't watch the awards, mostly because most of the movies they give awards aren't my thing. Though, still cool to see Luca, Raya, Encanto, and Mitchell's vs. the Machines get nominated.

I say DVD out of habit, yes I do get blu-rays. Usually the combo packs with DVD and digital, the only standalone blu-rays I have are Trolls and Smurfs: The Lost Village. Trolls I bought after getting a blu-ray player (had the DVD for years), Smurfs, I bought when I didn't have one because it came with a cool tin lunchbox that was a bonus. Still have standard DVDs of both. Also, I have a DVD player in my bedroom, while the blu-ray mostly stays in the living room.

@lolwhatno I wouldn't change the name, only because Nintendo Life has that "can only change name every 90 days policy." The April Fools name will stick for three months, it would be better to change it to what you like if you really do want to change it. Changing the avatar might be fun though.

Anyone excited for Chrono Cross and think it will be ideal to play on Switch but feel like the pc version may have Mod that improved some features…

Can someone help me to calculate the GB size of these PS4 games when being played on PS5?
I saw the number of minimum HDD size from these games and I assumed it will be added with some GB for free upgrade in PS5.

Crash Bandicoot NSane Trilogy = 30 GB + ??? GB

CTR = 17 GB + ??? GB

Crash Bandicoot 4 = 25 GB + ??? GB

Ratchet & Clank PS4 = 25 GB + ??? GB

Rhythm gonna hit your head.

WoomyNNYes

@Anti-Matter Are you sure all those games are getting graphical upgrades for PS5? I could see CTR and the Crash NSane Trilogy not getting upgrades, and just get ported as is. Althouhg, I'll admit, I don't know much about games getting upgraded for PS5.

edit: I'm surprised playstion store website doesn't show game file sizes.

I have to know the GB size of Ratchet & Clank PS4 when being played on PS5 after got added with some GB from update. I found from Google it will have 33 GB size on PS5 after got updated.

@lolwhatno I know, I'm really sorry I have stopped for as long as I did, because man, looking at other people just blast through this game! Idk how they do it LOL.

@Anti-Matter Ahh okay.. I might actually check it out, but got a lot of stuff I wanna play rn, aye. But glad to see DDR be on the Switchie AND WAIT. It's Japan exclusive!?

@Sunsy Ah nice! It's right around the corner actually Hmm.. next day? Ahh the movie is coming out the next day. Kinda like a nice late birthday gift from Sega, eh? I can't wait to stream it up.. just gotta draw me up a proper thumbnail still and budget sometime, especially with frickin Kirby, which is AMAZING.

@MarioLover92 Yea, so down and ready for it. The more ppl we get on board the better you know! Hopefully allowing us to have more buddies to play with in the future! It'd be cool if you guys were down with voice chat, then we could discord out!

@Tyranexx Bah, yea. Insert existential crisis. I'm pretty much the same with Kirby, played Superstar, 64, and Air Ride. I loved each of them, but those are the only ones I've really played much. Ohh man, the Forgotten Land is a frickin blast. I am having such a great time with it, and I only just beat the 2nd boss. I know you'll love it!

@WoomyNNyes Hmmm.. I remember seeing that. Too bad on the exclusivity :/ But..it looks like fun and I feel like it's great to have a Rocket League-like. I'm glad it looks like it has a bunch of customization which I do enjoy a lot And double thumbs up for DJ Molcar, let's goo!

@Sunsy Ah ok, we're kind of on the same boat when it comes to movies. Most big movies today don't really interest me a whole lot, and I'm somewhat picky when it comes to movies too. I like my movies to be more fun, if that makes sense. Which is why I enjoy stuff like comedies, adventure flicks, and Disney films. That's great to see that those movies got nominated.

Ah gotcha, that's understandable. I say "DVDs" quite often too, only because we have the most movies on DVD as opposed to blu-ray. Plus they were the first disc-based videos that I remember, they came out pretty much right after the VHS era.

@tekoii I actually made a few friends on Twitter who play Mario Kart, hopefully I'll be able to introduce them to you guys!

@Zuljaras Manhole covers are VERY TMNT, but you can't eat them. I'm also not biased towards pizza. At all. Nope. XD

@MarioLover92 Kid me used to call Tanooki Mario "Raccoon Mario" since I had no clue what a RL tanuki was. I just knew that it looked quite a bit like a raccoon with the tail. If I recall, the two animals aren't related at all lol.

On the "getting worse at games": Some of it could be reflexes, but I find being out of practice or very tired affects me the most. I admit I've never played MK8D online, but I imagine it's quite chaotic with all of those items flying around. I couldn't easily stomach over 150cc since I'd start getting ticked at some of the cheap items the CPU characters would hurl if I was in the lead.

@Sunsy I know enough about PC innards to tell someone what's what and how to swap out internal components, such as RAM, drives, etc. But nothing as intricate as physical motherboard maintenance or laptop screen replacement. An acquaintance contacted me to see if I knew how to do the latter recently, and I politely declined. Too, most laptops are so compact these days (with more and more things soldered to the boards in some models...ugh) that I wouldn't trust doing much with them besides switching out the battery if it can be accessed to begin with.

@tekoii I'm glad you're enjoying Kirby and the Forgotten Land! I've read a lot of great general feedback so far, though I'm staying out of the forum thread for now. I doubt there's much to spoil, but I prefer to experience some moments on my own lol. I just played Kirby's Dream Land on the 3DS VC and am currently about halfway through Kirby's Dream Land 2. The former is a solid platformer with some decent tunes and neat animations for the time, though the second game is definitely better.

I finally saw Encanto, and I absolutely loved it! Also, I have the music stuck in my head especially the song about Bruno. I loved it, the characters, the animation, the magic. It was amazing. Definitely a Blu-Ray/DVD I'm going to have to pick up.
@Snatcher @MarioLover92 @TheJGG (tagging you since I remember you mentioning it too)

@lolwhatno You're welcome. If it could be changed anytime, I could see it working, I have a feeling they limit the change to every 90 days to prevent abuse with it. That's only my guess.

@tekoii My birthday is on April 7th, and Sonic Movie 2 comes out the next day on the 8th. May not go day one, depends on if my friend is available, but will see it shortly after. I noticed you were playing Kirby the other day, I was chilling and playing Paladins when you were playing.

@MarioLover92 Yeah, I mostly stuck with animated movies because I love cartoons and characters. While it's not a public award show, I tend to like the Annie awards more as they focus on animation specifically. I remember a lot of favorites I like get nominated for that. Yeah, most movies don't really interest me unless it's something I like, or have a feeling I'll like. Like animation, comedy, sci-fi, etc.

Also, I usually like going to the theater when it's a movie I want to see. Right now, I'm hoping to see Trolls 3 in a theater in late 2023, since we all know what happened when Trolls World Tour came out. Still rented it at home day of release, but man I wanted to see that movie badly on the big screen.

BTW, mom and I watched Encanto, tomorrow, we're gonna watch Jungle Cruise, Mom wants to see it. Having fun with Disney+, Mom even got hit with nostalgia as we found Mickey Mouse Club, the original from 1955 on it. Mom remembered it. I was surprised when I found the obscure Disney Channel show Adventures in Wonderland, I thought that was a rather old find, but mom proved me otherwise, lol.

Yeah, also it's funny how I call them VHS now, but use to just call them video tapes back when I was a kid.

@Tyranexx Tell me about it. My current computer is an Omen gaming laptop from mid-2019, and it amazes me how well made it is. Thankfully I can open it up and upgrade RAM and the hard drive and SSD if I wanted to, they advertised that. I love it, and it plays my games beautifully. Still runs as good as the day I got it. Was playing Smurfs Mission Vileaf earlier on it. I also still enjoy playing classic DOS games from GOG. I grew up as a Mac kid, so it's fun to play those games I missed out on as a kid.

@Sunsy Appreciate the thought, thank you. Encanto for me was a while ago, I saw it in cinemas in December, but it was a truly magical experience, something that reminded me of the older Disney films from the nineties. It’s one of the better Disney films of the last ten years for sure.

The music in particular came across extremely intelligent, well written, and catchy. We Don’t Talk About Bruno’s easily my favourite song because of the great dance routines, and the final part of the song where everyone’s melodies combine into this chaos fest. All of Me, I think the song was called, at the end, was also great. The other ones ranged between darn good and forgettable. I didn’t really like Isabela’s song…

Glad you liked it though. Now the real test… what else did you like… and dislike too?

@lolwhatno Thats good to hear, because for a bit I thought I was roaming around a little to much, because I have just been doing stuff here and there, and I still haven't gotten to where I need to go after godrick.

Happy gaming to you as well!

@BruceCM Not really lost, I did end up finding this temple looking thing, that took me down to a area that had all these stars! All I know is I just get sniped whenever I go so I kinda gave up LOL.

There's quite a few 'temple looking things' around Elden Ring, @Snatcher .... I'd guess you found the easier entrance to Raya Lacura Academy, though!

You weren't strictly wrong there - Raccoon Mario is also the name of a power-up in SMB3. I think Raccoon Mario is the more common one you find throughout the game, whereas Tanooki Mario has the same abilities but also lets you turn into a statue. But in Mario 3D Land, the regular version is called Tanooki Mario even though it doesn't have the statue ability. That has to be the most confusing part of the Mario power-up nomenclature, lol.

And real tanukis are usually called raccoon dogs in English, so it's easy to get them confused. But yeah they're not related, raccoon dogs are actually canines as the name suggests.

Thank you Nintendo for giving us Donkey Kong Jr Math on Nintendo Music

Sunsy

@TheJGG You're welcome. Awesome, I think I'm going to post my thoughts in spoilers since I notice MarioLover92 wants to watch it and I don't want to spoil the experience.

We don't talk about Bruno felt like that classic music video, even the table setting scene in rhythm of the music was not something I was expecting. The opening song got stuck in my head instantly, and seeing Mirabel put off saying what her gift is, I'm thinking "she doesn't have one, does she?"

I like the story, the characters, the beautiful world this movie offered, and of course the music. Can't think of much I disliked. I was expecting Bruno to be this magical villain, due to how everyone was talking about him, in the end, Bruno grew on me as a guy who's gift was to predict the future, and the family just hated the predictions he made, and it was up to Mirabel to bring the family together. To add what I like, the house breaking felt like a symbol for a broken home, which is exactly what it was, the family didn't like Mirabel much and really didn't like Bruno to the point of Bruno living in the walls. Also that sudden change from Isabella, it felt too sudden. Otherwise, I loved the movie.

Breath of the Wild's sequel getting delayed is not a surprise in the slightest. But... it only gives me more hope it's going to be a very good game. Strap in.
